How to Raise a Baby in an Apocalypse - Chapter 374
When Doll in An Ran’s arms sees Zhan Lian approaching, her little body leans toward him.
To be honest, she’s been eating a lot recently, sucking one of An Ran’s breasts dry each time, so she grows fast. In this era where all children are hungry and skinny like bamboo sticks, Doll’s chubby figure really stands out.
Because Doll’s weight is increasing, she twists and turns in An Ran’s arms, making it hard for An Ran to hold her steady. So An Ran leans closer to Zhan Lian, and the baby’s little hand reaches out to him.
She drools, clear saliva dripping onto the bib beneath her chin. Her small body leans against Zhan Lian as if she wants him to hold her.
Zhan Lian takes Doll, hearing An Ran whisper, “Zhan Lian, do you think they were sent by Lei Jiang?”
“Lei Jiang isn’t in the group. He still seems to be inside Tiesi Village and hasn’t come out.”
An Ran exclaims, “Ah. He’s so capable, but he’s still there? Can he even come out?”
“Don’t underestimate the earth system.”
Zhan Lian can’t help but put his arm around An Ran’s shoulders. An Ran pushes his hand away.
Zhan Lian teases her, “He dug a deep pit and buried the copper-skinned zombies there. Those zombies may never crawl out.” Seeing An Ran’s serious expression, he adds, “It’s okay. I’m powerful too. I’ll protect you.”
An Ran smiles at him perfunctorily. She thinks Zhan Lian is so childish!
Not far from where they stand—about twenty cars away—a fat man sits in the open trunk of a car, two strings of beads draped on his body. He holds a palm leaf fan, waving it intermittently, wearing an angry expression.
In front of him stands a row of men. Looking closely, their faces are familiar. Aren’t these the meddling men from before?
And the fat man—isn’t he the one who “acted heroically” earlier?
The fat man stretches out his hand and slaps one of the men on the head angrily.
“You’re so bold! You dared lay your hands on Zhan Lian’s wife and child. Are you crazy about women? Are you crazy about women? Are you crazy about women?”
He stands up, shaking his fat body, and starts beating them one by one.
Some subordinates complain, “It’s not obvious on her face that she’s Zhan Lian’s wife?!”
“That’s right. Zhan Lian’s wife should stay in the car properly. Why’s she wandering around?”
Throughout the entire survivor convoy, except for Tang Siluo, no single woman is wandering alone. Even Zhao Ru goes to find Tang Siluo with two men following behind her.
Just now, seeing An Ran and Zhao Ru standing by the roadside holding a child with no men around—that’s why they want to make a move on An Ran and the baby.
Zhao Ru is just an afterthought—they know Zhao Ru and Tang Siluo have a good relationship, so they leave her be.
But… how to say it—they really are crazy about women, like Fatty says. Since Zhao Ru is alone, it’s not a bad idea to take her as well.
However, no matter how much they think about it, they never expect the woman holding the child to be Zhan Lian’s wife, nor do they expect her to be so fierce as to cut off a man’s arm with one strike!
In an era lacking medical care and medicine, cutting off an arm is basically destroying someone’s life.
The man is later taken away by Liang Ziyu. Whether he receives medical treatment or not remains unknown.
