Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077
Scared, Wenwen didn’t dare to move, and Feifei and Tingting, who had just floated up, fell to the ground with a thud.
They rubbed their sore bottoms. Luckily, it wasn’t a high fall; otherwise, they might have broken into pieces. Just as they were about to complain about little Wenwen, they saw Uncle Lin and Uncle Gu Hang.
Feifei and Tingting quickly stood up straight, like soldiers.
Tiantian shouted enthusiastically.
"Hello, Uncle Lin! Hello, Uncle Gu!"
At that moment, they looked like children caught misbehaving, shrinking their heads obediently.
Lin Fan smiled as he approached them, patting their heads, "What are you sneaking around for?"
Tingting lowered her head, with half a packet of spicy strips sticking out of her pocket, indicating they left in a hurry and didn’t pack it properly.
"Uncle Lin, I brought my sisters here to steal snacks," Feifei said, lifting her head. As the eldest sister, she felt she had to take responsibility. After all, being the big sister is tough; to earn respect, you have to take the hardest hits, otherwise, how can you hold such a position?
Tingting whispered, "I wanted to eat spicy strips, so I asked Sister Feifei to bring me to steal some."
Wenwen added, "Me too..."
Seeing their expressions, Lin Fan couldn’t say much, "Alright, there’s no need to talk about stealing or not. If you want to eat, just come in openly and take them. Sneaking around like that, what if you get hurt? Go on, see what you want to eat, and take some. Remember to bring some for the younger ones too."
For the children to grow up happily in the apocalypse was what he wanted most.
Any hardship or difficulty in the apocalypse should be handled by them, the adults.
"Yay, thank you, Uncle Lin!"
Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly urged Tingting and Wenwen to quickly grab some tasty snacks.
Tingting and Wenwen immediately went to the shelves to look for snacks.
"Feifei, how’s your studying going lately?" Lin Fan asked. Although it was the apocalypse, he still cared about the children’s studies. Knowledge is essential to arm their minds.
Thinking about those people in the organization—all smart, but they used their intelligence for developing dreadful serums, turning normal humans into monsters.
Feifei dreaded being asked about her studies the most.
Before Feifei could speak, Tingting, who was looking for snacks, excitedly said, "The teacher said Sister Feifei has made a lot of progress. She scored sixty in the last exam, which is the passing mark. The teacher even specifically praised Sister Feifei."
Hearing this tone, Tingting seemed genuinely happy for Feifei.
Feifei glared at Tingting, thinking, my dear sister, wouldn’t it be better if you hadn’t said anything? Why did you have to reveal everything?
"Really? That’s great. How much did you score, Tingting?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Chatting with the kids indeed lifted his spirits.
Tingting responded, "I’m so dumb, I only got ninety-eight. There was one question I had done before, but I still got it wrong. Wenwen is impressive; she scores a hundred every time."
Feifei sighed inwardly. If she could, she’d love to write an essay titled "My Little Sister Tingting the Betrayer."
She really wanted to ask, Tingting, are you praising me or undermining me?
Before long, they had already picked out their snacks.
Lin Fan said, "Feifei, Uncle has high hopes for you. Study hard, and let’s aim for seventy next time, alright?"
Feifei looked at Uncle Lin, blinking, wanting to say... that was an exceptional performance for me, can we not set unreasonable expectations?
But she still pretended to be very confident.
"Mm, I’ll definitely score seventy next time."
"Good, let’s work hard together. When you score seventy, you’ll get a reward. Alright, head to class now," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Upon hearing about the reward, Feifei felt a sense of dread.
She wanted to wave it off, saying, no, I don’t want a reward, that kind of reward is truly terrifying.
But she knew it was useless to say anything.
"Goodbye, Uncle Lin, Uncle Gu. We’ll be off now."
With that, Feifei led her two sisters and dashed off like the wind.
Watching their retreating figures.
Lin Fan glanced at Gu Hang, "Brother Hang, this kind of life is what we’ve always strived for."
Gu Hang understood what Lin Fan meant.
The children’s smiling faces were forever imprinted in their hearts. To protect those smiles, they have always worked hard and never thought of giving up.
Wu Hao took a deep breath of fresh air; indeed, the air in the mountains is the freshest.
The children were eating roasted potatoes and wild eggs. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFirｅ.net
These were foods the adults didn’t indulge in, specifically reserved for the children.
This kind of behavior convinced Wu Hao that the survivors here were definitely not bad people; otherwise, why would they take on this group of burdens and give the few nutritious foods to the children?
"Sigh, life is truly tough."
The apocalypse is most unfair to children because they lack the ability to survive. Even without encountering zombies, they would face countless challenges in daily life.
Wu Hao thought about surveying the surrounding area, living off the mountain and water, which perfectly exemplified this situation.
Walking through the forest, the towering trees blocked out the sun, creating a serene life that felt like a paradise.
As if nothing had happened at all.
Wu Hao stepped on the slightly damp ground of the morning, inhaling the fresh fragrance. This scene was a stark contrast to the apocalypse outside.
"This environment really seems nice, a pity... it’s just one place," Wu Hao lamented, unsure what to say about it.
He arrived at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the desolate land in the distance, where everything contrasted sharply with the past due to the apocalypse. After looking for a while, he didn’t even see a trace of a ghost.
A group of moving heads appeared.
Wu Hao stood up, curiously looking, wondering if they were living people, but quickly dismissed the thought... his face suddenly changed dramatically.
