Chapter 1194: They Died Together

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

At dark, Dong Lijia started calling his friends for dinner. But, he couldn’t find Lin Wenwen.

“Did you guys see Xinxin?” He looked at the others and asked.

Luo Yuanjun was playing a game with his phone. “Have you looked in her room yet?” he said without even raising his head.

“Yeah. She’s not in her room,” said Dong Lijia.

“Give her a call then,” said Luo Yuanjun, “I didn’t see her.”

“I called, but she didn’t answer,” said Dong Lijia.

Qin Jiao smiled at Dong Lijia and said to him, “I saw her walking on the beach not long ago. I don’t know if she’s come back yet.”

“Oh, she went for jogging,” Dong Lijia responded to her blandly, “She should be back by now.”

The others all raised their heads and looked at him. “What? Your sister went for jogging? Why? Is she trying to lose weight?”

“The weather isn’t too hot for jogging right now,” said Wu Minghao with a warm smile, “But, jogging for too long might ruin her appetite for dinner.”

“No, it won’t,” said Dong Lijia, “She’s gotten used to this lately. She’ll have a great appetite. Her preference for food has changed actually. Don’t be too surprised later.”

The dining room they booked had a French window facing the sea, provided them with a great view.

“If she wants to lose weight, she should be on a diet. But, did you say that she’ll eat a lot after jogging?” Luo Yuanjun looked at Dong Lijia questioningly.

Deng Chenfei looked at Dong Lijia and said to him with a serious tone, “Has your sister been through something recently? Why has she suddenly changed so much? She’s not like Dong Xinxin at all. She’s like a totally strange person.”

Dong Lijia looked at him; Deng Chenfei had guessed right, but he couldn’t admit that. “Hm, she might have been through something indeed,” he mumbled in response.

The others found his reaction weird.

Dong Lijia looked at them with a mysterious look on his face. He had asked Lin Wenwen about how his friends ended up after the apocalypse. She told him that some people betrayed Dong Xinxin at critical junctures, and some gave her away for just a few packs of instant noodle when there wasn’t enough food. Most of them turned into zombies.

So, apart from Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei, he didn’t need to care too much about anyone.

On the beach, Lin Wenwen slowed down and started walking while talking to Dong Xinxin in her mind.

“So, you want to kick his ass, not because you hate him, but because he didn’t listen to you and leave while he had a chance to survive, right?” Lin Wenwen finally figured out why Dong Xinxin asked her to kick Luo Yuanjun’s ass last time.

‘Do you know how much energy I spent to travel to the past before I found him?’ said Dong Xinxin angrily, ‘I couldn’t find him, and I didn’t know when he died. I gathered his last traces with so many efforts. Finally, I found the place where he died. I only found a piece of his body left by zombies. The rest was eaten. It was highly rotten, so I couldn’t tell when he died. The first time, I traveled back to half a month ago, but he was already dead. The second time, I went back over twenty days ago, but I was still too late. The third time, I went back to a whole month ago and finally saved him.”

Her power was special. Every time she triggered her power, a great amount of energy would be consumed. She couldn’t stay in the past for too long every time, or she wouldn’t have enough energy to return to the future.

The third time, she managed to find Luo Yuanjun right before he died. With a great effort, she saved him from a zombie crowd. But, a couple of hours ago, they ran into a group of robbers.

She broke a leg trying to save Luo Yuanjun and could barely move at that time. The last bit of energy she had could only allow her to jump to an hour ago, and she used it.

She used that last opportunity she had to let Luo Yuanjun leave in advance and avoid those robbers. However, he insisted on leaving together with her. A man with no car and weapon still had a chance to leave the dangerous zone by himself, but with an injured one, he could barely go anywhere.

In the end, because the man wouldn’t leave her behind, they both died. They chose to be killed by zombies instead of the robbers.

“So, what did I try so hard for? We both died in the end! Did I consume all my energy just to die together with him? I am so angry!” Dong Xinxin was still in a rage. Even thinking about that made her feel highly irritated.

For that exact reason, she didn’t want to see or talk to Luo Yuanjun since she came back to the past.

Since Luo Yuanjun and some of her other friends would all survive the apocalypse, Dong Xinxin didn’t plan to tell them about it. They might not believe her anyway. They might even think that she had lost her mind. Since they were all able to survive for a few years after the apocalypse, whether she told them about it now would not be important.

So, she decided to save some trouble.

Lin Wenwen smiled and said, “Dying together is not so bad… You were kept company at least. It’s better than dying alone.”

Hearing that, Dong Xinxin thought for a moment and said, ‘You’re right… I thought I had no other chances, but unexpectedly, I suddenly came back to seven years ago.’

“You can punch him when you can control this body again. This is between you two. I have nothing to do with it,” Lin Wenwen said while walking back toward the hotel.

Dong Xinxin sighed and said, ‘I don’t know when that will be. I get angry every time I saw him now. I’m afraid that I might not be able to control myself!’

“Don’t control yourself then,” said Lin Wenwen while walking, “Maybe your anger will trigger your power and allow you to regain the control of your body.”

On the way back, Lin Wenwen checked her phone and found a few missed calls. She had put the phone in her pocket and missed the calls earlier. She didn’t like the ringing, so she had her phone on mute the whole time.

She looked at the time and figured her brother must have called her for dinner. So, she called Dong Lijia back, “Have you guys started eating already?”

“Yeah,” said Dong Lijia, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

“I missed them,” said Lin Wenwen, “The phone was in my pocket. Which room are you guys in? I’ll take a shower and then go there.”

Dong Lijia told her the name of the room and then ended the call.

Lin Wenwen dragged her limp legs into her room and took a quick shower, then put on some clean clothes and then went downstairs. By the time she found the dining room, the dishes had all been served.

Abalone, sea cucumbers, all sorts of delicious seafood made her drool.
