How to Raise a Baby in an Apocalypse - Chapter 400
After Zhan Lian gets out of the car, he opens the rear door, bends down, and picks up Doll. The little kid immediately stops crying the moment she is out of the car. The four-month-old, held in Zhan Lian’s arms, smiles happily, giving off a smug vibe for no reason.
What’s there to be smug about? She just gets what she wants—to go out for a walk.
An Ran gets out of the car and rolls her eyes at Doll.
An Ran climbs out of the car and gives the baby a sharp look. Seeing how Zhan Lian holds the little bundle of flesh with such tender care, coaxing and spoiling her like a little princess, An Ran thinks to herself that this kid will definitely be a drama queen when she grows up, since she has such an overindulgent dad!
For a moment, An Ran, with nothing else to do, stands by the car, watching the cars driven by Luo Feifan and others behind her park one after another on the national highway. The temperature is a little cold, and everyone discusses how to spend the night.
The car has been driving all day long. It didn’t stop at the gas station before. Now there are no houses in the wilderness, so they can only spend the night in the car. Fortunately, there are a lot of supplies, so the car is enough.
So everyone gets busy, takes the quilt from the trunk, lays the seat flat, and prepares to sleep first.
She feels bored, and seeing that Doll is being held by Zhan Lian and coaxed well, she takes out the thorny plant from the car seat and looks at it carefully in the moonlight. It is a thorn about the size of a palm, with a ball the size of a ping-pong ball at the end, and the root system is very short.
She plants the plant in the field beside the national highway.
The world is strangely quiet. The plants underground no longer shout danger. On the road near Xiangcheng, all the plants seem to speak in unison.
Even the thorny plant that An Ran just plants, under the urging of An Ran’s supernatural power, silently takes root and sprouts in the soil, growing a second thorn.
Without flesh and blood, without eggs or cubs of mutant animals, An Ran spends almost double the supernatural energy, but can only make this thorny plant grow to this extent. Obviously, this thorny plant is different from other plants. It absorbs so much energy from An Ran, but it is only a foot long, and it only has a second thorn.
She decides to focus on cultivating this thorny plant. Maybe she can cultivate some kind of heaven-defying plant!
The night gradually deepens, and the surroundings grow very quiet. The baby yawns a little while being coaxed by Zhan Lian, and falls asleep on Zhan Lian’s shoulder with drool.
Under the moonlight, at the end of the winding national highway, a team of cars rushes over. The people in the lead car see the tents on the side of the national highway and shout, “Are you guys going to die? Run, zombies are coming!!!”
The man who shouts is driving a familiar car. It is the punk man with a rock band style that An Ran meets yesterday morning. However, on the national highway heading north, he leads a convoy. Now when he returns south, the number of cars in the convoy seems to be fewer, and there are five people in the lead car.
An Ran stands up from the roadside and looks at the people who panic. Zhan Lian comes over with Doll in his arms, and Yun Tao also hurries over and asks first, “Are there really zombies coming?”
“I haven’t heard the news.”
An Ran looks confused, watching the punk man yelling for everyone to run away. The car doesn’t stop all the way, leading the convoy through the tents and rushing directly over. His panicked look doesn’t seem fake.
But why haven’t the plants warned her about this?
