288: C288 Father and Daughter

C288 Father and Daughter

1After about 40 minutes, the sky had turned dark.

"Tututututu …"

A series of sounds unique to single-bar engines could be heard, loud and clear in the darkness of the night.

"Old man, there are quite a few zombies in the factory. Should we move to another place?"

Zhang Degui drove his farm tractor under the cover of the night, slowly approaching the already messy factory.

The woman who was called "Lao Ya" appeared to be around twenty years old. With her age, it was a bit inappropriate to call her girl.

"I'm already 22 years old. Dad, can you stop calling me Old Man?"

His name was Zhang Xue. He had just graduated from university and was trapped at home after the apocalypse, unable to find a job.

Hearing his father calling him nickname, he immediately wrinkled his nose, turned his head towards the window and ignored Zhang Degui.

"Screech!"

Zhang Degui was infuriated by the way his daughter acted. His white moustache rose up and he glared at her. He looked like he was about to lose his temper, but when his words reached his mouth, they changed to something else.

"Alright, alright, alright. Xue'er, don't be angry at dad. Dad is playing with you."

Zhang Degui was a daughter slave, especially towards this old girl.

"Alright, there won't be a next time."

Zhang Xue wasn't really angry. She was just a spoiled child. When she saw that her father had been defeated, she immediately beamed with joy. It was as if this wasn't the apocalypse, and there weren't any zombies outside.

"Ah, that's right!"

Zhang Degui patted his head.

"About that, there are quite a few zombies in the factory. It's snowing, should we go back?"

"Aiya, don't worry dad!"

Zhang Xue curled her lips and said.

"There's almost nothing to eat at home. If we don't come out and look for something to eat, we won't know how we'll get through tomorrow."

"Didn't I tell your big brother and second brother to go look for us? Leave us here to look after the house, so you have to drag me out!"

Zhang Degui said worriedly.

"If you encounter any danger, your brother and the others won't be able to save you."

Zhang Xue pursed her lips. She was the youngest in the family, as well as her two brothers, so she was the apple of her eyes at home. However, she had a strong disposition, feeling that it was useless for her to stay at home when her two brothers were out collecting food.

Zhang Xue found the flashlight in the tractor's toolbox and switched it on, lighting the road for the tractor. As the father and daughter talked, the sky darkened a little more.

Zhang Xue couldn't help but ask when she saw the worry on her father's face.

"Aren't we supposed to be coming out tonight? Zombies won't be able to see us, so there's no need to be afraid!"

Zhang Xue patted her chest with a face full of confidence.

"Didn't the radio say that this zombie has some kind of Glycosylated Meat? If you eat it, it will strengthen your physique, so if you meet a zombie, I'll go and snatch its Glycosylated Meat for you to eat. I'll let you eat it until you're 18 years old!"

Zhang Xue's family of five was a rare sight in this society. However, in this apocalyptic world, they were the lucky ones. Aside from Zhang Xue's mother, who had turned into a zombie when the apocalypse broke out, everyone was still alive and well.

Due to the large number of people, the food consumption was very fast. The rice noodles prepared at home had already been eaten. Helpless, he took the risk to come out and gather food.

This was one of the reasons why early in the apocalypse humans had suffered such heavy casualties. It was because they did not understand much about zombies, and when they heard that Glycosylated Meat could improve their physique, they would blindly go out to kill zombies.

After all, Wang Yi's team only had a few people, maybe only this one. As for the rest, they were basically surrounded and attacked by zombies.

"Haha, good!" This little girl knows how to be filial, alright! " Zhang Degui's wrinkled face revealed a pleased smile. His hand movements didn't slow down as he drove the tractor through the mountains and over the mountains. Slowly, he drove it to a location a few hundred meters away from the factory.

"Tututututu …" Thump … Crack …

"Snow, leave the car here. If we go any closer, the zombies will probably hear."

Zhang Degui still had some consciousness and knew to park the car far away to avoid attracting zombies, but he knew that in this silent night, the sound would travel a lot further than during the day. If there were zombies in the factory, then this few hundred meters would be enough for zombies to notice.

Zhang Xue switched off the flashlight. It was dark now, but it was not too late to see anyone. Zhang Xue said that she was not afraid, but her heart was still pounding like a little deer.

Like a stubborn child.

The father and daughter duo took off the tools on the car. Two flashlights lit up the place. A kitchen knife was tied to a long iron pipe. It was a weapon made temporarily by Zhang Degui. There was also a large woven bag.

Zhang Xue, on the other hand, was holding a sickle with both of her hands before her chest. At first glance, she still looked a little imposing. But upon closer inspection, the hand holding the sickle was trembling.

The father and daughter duo staggered through the wasteland, and before long, they were within range of the factory.

The sky turned even darker, and Zhang Xue's sharp eyes caught sight of a blurry figure standing in the wasteland ahead.

"Dad, dad, do you think that's a zombie?" Zhang Xue nudged Zhang Degui, who was extremely nervous, guiltily.

"Then! "Then what about it?"

Zhang Degui shouted in a hurry, but when he thought that he wasn't at home, he immediately grabbed his daughter and bent down like two thieves stealing things.

"It's right there."

Zhang Xue pointed to the front with a nervous face, her voice becoming inaudible.

Fortunately, although Zhang Degui was slightly older, his ears and eyes were still useful. He immediately saw the figure standing in the wasteland in the direction Zhang Xue pointed at.

"Aiyo, mom ~"

"Let's go back to the snowfall."

Before he could even see what it was, Zhang Degui had already started retreating, dragging Zhang Xue with him as he walked back.

Pitiful as it was, if it was Zhang Degui alone, he would have gone up with his teeth clenched. But Snowy was still here. If she was in any danger, Zhang Degui wouldn't even have a place to cry.

However, Zhang Xue was not willing to give up. It was not easy to make a trip out, and if she did not bring something back, then this trip would have been in vain.

"Don't worry, if the zombies come, I'll protect you!"

Zhang Xue patted her chest to cheer herself up. She gripped the sickle tightly and slowly walked toward the figure.

"Ai!"

Zhang Degui sighed. His daughter had already rushed up. Even if Zhang Degui wanted to leave, he couldn't back down now.

He quickly walked to Zhang Xue's side, then turned around and said to his daughter.

"Snow, when you have something to do, run home. Don't try to be brave."
