Chapter 150 - 150: Qin Tianming
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Tianming was Qin Gongming’s only son. Qin Gongming had a son at an old age and doted on Qin Tianming very much. Therefore, many times when Qin Tianming was free at home, Qin Gongming would bring Qin Tianming to his workplace.
After all, this place had air conditioning, food, and drinks. Qin Tianming was better off here than anywhere else. Moreover, because she was older, Qin Tianming’s mother didn’t recuperate well after giving birth to him. She passed away a few years later, leaving Qin Gongming and Qin Tianming to rely on each other.
Just as the abnormal weather arrived, Qin Tianming was following Qin Gongming around in this safe fortress. He did not expect the snow to last for so long.
When Qin Gongming died, Qin Tianming was hiding in the cupboard. He witnessed the entire process of Mo Guanshan killing his father.
When Qin Gongming died, his eyes were wide open. Mo Guanshan threw Qin Gongming’s corpse onto the ground. Coincidentally, Qin Gongming’s eyes were wide open as he stared at Qin Tianming.
At that time, Qin Tianming was scared and sad. After all, he was just a child. Moreover, Qin Gongming pushed him into the cupboard. He did not dare to go out, afraid that Mo Guanshan would find out. He was the one whose father died to save him.
Fortunately, this place was big enough. Qin Tianming didn’t come here often. He only came here during the holidays. Therefore, Mo Guanshan didn’t even think of Qin Tianming when he was checking the corpses. Qin Tianming had narrowly escaped death.
Most of the things in the warehouse had been moved away by Mo Guanshan and the others. Qin Tianming had secretly eaten the food while they were asleep.
Towards the end, Mo Guanshan and the others had run out of food and had already started to eat the corpses. Qin Tianming did not dare to sneak out. He quietly hid in a small attic in the warehouse and ate the food he had stolen bit by bit every day.
He had long wanted to just die. He was cold and hungry. Fortunately, Mo Guanshan did not take off all the clothes on the corpses when he piled them together. Qin Tianming did not even know which uncle and aunt’s clothes he was wearing now.
These were the clothes that Qin Tianming had taken off the corpses after Mo Guanshan and the others had fallen asleep.
He really wanted to just die like this. His only family in this world had died. However, he had to live because Qin Gongming had repeatedly told him to live well when he stuffed him into the cupboard.
Many days had passed. Qin Tianming had not eaten for a few days. Fortunately, the circulating water system in the fortress was still working. Otherwise, Qin Tianming might have died of thirst before he starved to death.
He opened his eyes groggily. He was woken up by hunger again. He was eating the Manchu Han Imperial Feast in his dream. He did not even want to wake up. He wanted to just stay asleep.
Qin Tianming touched his deeply sunken belly and looked at his translucent hand in a daze.
Oh, so it was all just a dream. So I’m not dead yet. I’m still alive.
“I’m so hungry, so hungry. What’s that smell… It smells so good…”
Qin Tianming swallowed his saliva and slowly got up. He wanted to climb down from the attic to get some water to drink. At least with water in his stomach, he wouldn’t feel so hungry.
He had thought that what he had smelled was just an illusion because Mo Guanshan and the others had never cooked here. Ever since Mo Guanshan and the others started eating people, Qin Tianming had never dared to go near the central kitchen. Even if he starved to death, he was afraid to see those demons eat his father.
Qin Tianming’s entire body had turned translucent, and his legs felt weak. Fortunately, he had woken up one day and realized that something had changed in his body. He realized that he could turn invisible. Otherwise, if Mo Guanshan and the others saw him in his current state, he would have died immediately.
After all, he had not eaten for a long time. He could not even walk. If Mo Guanshan and the others saw him, he would not even have the strength to escape.
“Smells… Smells so good… I’m so hungry…”
The more Qin Tianming walked downstairs, the more he realized that the scent he smelled was getting stronger.
Could it be Mo Guanshan and the others?
Qin Tianming was so frightened that he quivered. He quickly closed his eyes and turned invisible. Then, he quietly lightened his footsteps and leaned on the wall and the handrail to move little by little.
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the warehouse. The smell seemed to have drifted in from outside the warehouse.
Qin Tianming swallowed his saliva and mustered up his courage as he slowly moved toward the entrance of the warehouse while leaning against the wall.
Who were they?
Qin Tianming was stunned. He was only confused about who these three strangers were, but in the next second, he was attracted by the things in front of them.
Qin Tianming didn’t even know how he walked to their side. There was only one thought in his mind now, and that was that he was so hungry. He wanted to eat, he wanted to eat these foods.
As he thought about this, his body started to move.
Ye Xingchen stopped eating when he was 80% full. The food was delicious, but he either ate Lin Sijia’s home-cooked food or the rich restaurant food in the space every day. No matter how delicious the food was, it was not enough to interest him.
The reason why he took out so much was because he did not lack food. Of course, he had to take out the dishes according to his own taste, but also because Zhao Hao was here.
Because Li Anran was also there, Ye Xingchen did not give Zhao Hao special treatment.
During this period of time, Zhao Hao stayed at Ye Xingchen’s house and ate the same food as Li Anran, although those things were already very delicious in Zhao Hao’s eyes.
Before the apocalypse, Zhao Hao had saved money to buy a house in his hometown. In order to save money, he usually only had instant noodles and bread. Even if he occasionally had a good meal, he would just go to a restaurant for two stir-fry dishes and open a bottle of beer.
Ye Xingchen had a lot of food. It was true that he might not be able to finish it in hundreds of lifetimes, but this did not mean that Ye Xingchen was willing to waste these things to feed someone he hated.
Therefore, since Zhao Hao was here, Ye Xingchen decided to take out a few more dishes to reward Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao ate while panting, beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.
Spicy! This was really spicy! Especially that spicy beef!
Not only was it spicy, but it was also fragrant! Zhao Hao had never eaten such delicious spicy stir-fried beef before!
