Chapter 1407 Going to See My Daughter-in-Law
"Hmm, our sister-in-law is called Catalina, and our eldest brother is called Qin Qicai, but we don't remember him anymore because he got separated when we were still babies! The eldest brother is so capable!"
Dafeng didn't know what Qin Qicai was capable of, but every time Catalina cried, it would be great if your eldest brother was here. He has many powers and no one can beat him. Then we will never be bullied again, and we will never be as miserable as we are today.
So in the hearts of the children, Qin Qicai became a hero.
Qin Qicai? What a weird name. Another one named Qin. Is this a coincidence? Qin An couldn't figure it out and decided to meet this Catalina.
In fact, he should have flown directly to the City of Black Blood, but Qin An was a little scared, or maybe he was too close to home.
The United States is a place that left a psychological shadow on him. He once wandered here for eleven years without finding Weng Lan. Now, for Qin An, it has been thirty-three years since he saw Weng Lan.
The contrast between ideals and reality is often cruel.
In Qin An's mind, the woman originally named Li Ying was definitely his true love, but thirty-three years later, Li Ying has become Weng Lan. So what kind of chemical changes will happen to true love?
He didn't understand and was afraid of losing it, so Qin An hesitated.
No matter who the four poor children in front of me are, it is fate that they meet. Qin An decided to solve their trouble quickly and then leave, within a day or two.
The four children are obviously in trouble, because they themselves are a trouble. In the end of the world, they have no ability to support themselves, so they can only be trouble for others.
Qin An didn't understand why he was meddling in other people's business. He had not been a Holy Mother for many years.
"Okay, then I really want to get to know your big brother when I have the chance. Eat it now, it's really delicious. If it were me, I would be smart enough to eat them all right away."
"Well, grandpa, do you really still have delicious meat? And will you give it to my mother?"
The cute little girl Qin Yana timidly asked.
Qin An only felt that there seemed to be a few black lines on his forehead.
grandfather?
This title is too unacceptable.
But he is indeed very old now, so it is understandable for such a young child to call him grandpa.
Moreover, the triplets call themselves uncle, and this youngest little loli calls the triplets uncle and aunt. From the perspective of seniority, there is nothing wrong with calling her grandpa.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Isn’t it just to keep this family full of food? Qin An still has plans to let them go with him.
Seeing that their lives must be very difficult, then following me will not be so difficult, and it can also add some fun to myself.
The four little ones did not hesitate. After all, they were children. It was not easy for them to endure for so long when they were already as hungry as wolves and tigers.
Qin An felt happy as he looked at the four babies who were eating like little tigers.
Turning his head sideways, he looked through the garbage pile. Two men named Brandno and Alandan were still taking out garbage near the black gas area.
Qin An's face slowly turned cold. People always have to have a stand. Since he has joined the four children's camp, they can be considered enemies.
The bottom line is that condoning sin is no better than the perpetrator.
Qin An wanted to kill to stop killing many years ago, and he has been killing foreigners these years. His heart has become cold, and he will no longer hesitate in killing people.
So Qin An secretly shot two red leaves. The powerful energy penetrated the garbage pile and shot through hundreds of meters of space. Brandno and Alandan died worse than Zhao Si's father. They didn't even know what happened. His life was cut short.
Within a few minutes, a small rooster was eaten up by four children, and the bones were chewed to pieces. Qin An tried to stop it, but it was in vain.
"Uncle! Bones are delicious too, really!"
"Uncle, my appetite has improved and I can digest it. Don't worry."
"Grandpa, what kind of bird is this? It's so delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious bird."
"Yana, you haven't eaten other birds. I guess other birds are also delicious, but all the birds around here have been caught, so we can't catch them."
The four children chattered and shared chicken bones.
Hey, eat it, it won’t kill you anyway, maybe you can supplement some calcium and phosphorus, the body absorption capacity of people in the apocalypse is relatively strong.
Qin An didn't take out anything else for the children to eat, mainly because he was afraid that they would eat until they were full. Look at the way they eat, devouring their food. Qin An plans to arrange a delicious meal after meeting their parents. I believe they will be more well-behaved in front of their parents, right?
Finally, when the four children had eaten all the chicken bones, the sun was already setting.
"Okay, can you take me back to my place?"
When the four children heard that Qin An was going to go with them, they were all very happy. He was indeed a man of his word, so they all stepped forward to pick up Qin An and leave.
Before leaving, Qin Xiangming thought of Branold and Alan Dan.
Looking back, Qin Xiangming couldn't see the situation over there because there was a rubbish pile blocking her, and she didn't know that the person she hated had disappeared from this world.
In fact, Qin An saw those tall blue towers from a long distance, but when he saw them up close, they felt even more gorgeous and majestic, as if they were a holy land.
To the south of Blue Tower, the houses in Global Village were crowded together. Qin An frowned at first glance. It looked like a refuge camp established by the government when the apocalypse first broke out.
It's not right, it's not like a refugee camp, because the entire global village is completely disordered, filled with pornography, gambling, drugs, and blackmail. Qin An is a little worried, and can't imagine how the four children can succeed in such a vicious environment. Even more valuable for someone who has grown so big is that he still looks very well-behaved and kind. Maybe this is all the result of Catalina?
"Uncle, our home is right here, let's leave quickly."
Dafeng Erhe led the way, Xiangming held Qin An's hand, and Yana was held in Qin An's arms. She was the youngest in terms of seniority and age, so she could naturally take advantage.
The road becomes narrow after entering the Global Village area, with pedestrians and dilapidated shacks on both sides.
Qin An is no stranger to this kind of scene. He has experienced countless apocalyptic cities, and there are basically such slums in every city, even the Kowloon City Link.
These people live together like a nest of insignificant ants. Unfortunately, they do not know how to divide labor, cooperate, and live in harmony. Faced with limited resources, fights and snatchings are staged here every day.
Qin An frowned because he found that the poor people nearby were looking directly at him, their eyes gleaming.
After a while, Qin An understood that the clothes he was wearing were so neat that they were naturally eye-catching.
Looking at what the people around him were wearing, it looked like they were all disciples of the Beggar Clan.
Fortunately for Qin An, people in the apocalypse are more concerned about their lives, and most of them are more interested in food and don't care about clothes at all, so Qin An was not robbed. Because they don't know if this handsome young man with gorgeous clothes is a superpower.
The children are all in good physical strength. Although they have walked several kilometers from the garbage dump to the global village, they can still run at this time.
Qin An followed the two boys forward and finally came to a shack.
The shacks here are connected one by one to form a circle. There are ten households in a large circle. There is a brick house built in the open space in the middle of the circle, which is the residence of the circle leader's family.
The circle leader is also the landlord, who is considered to be the lowest level manager of the powerful class.
They are responsible for collecting rent from these later refugees and living like parasites.
Then outside each big circle, there are other big circles connected. The place where the two circles are close is used as an aisle, and the open space surrounded by the four circles is used as cultivated land or as a market for exchange of goods.
There are no large crops on the so-called cultivated land, they are all seedlings.
Qin An could see that in fact, as managers, they might have planned before building these shacks made of wood, soil, oil paper, and plastic. However, the people living here were too mixed and they could not be organized at all. sequence.
At this time, Gale had already opened the door of their shack. Qin An frowned slightly because the house was not locked.
There are only two situations when no one at home unlocks the door. One is that the environment is harmonious and there is no need to be afraid if the door is not closed at night. The other is so poor that the mice shed tears every time they walk around his house.
After being warmly welcomed into the shack by the little ones, Qin An sighed deeply. It was indeed the second situation.
The area of this shack is about 18 square meters. Several pillars form its skeleton. The two-meter-high walls are made of a mixture of mud and weeds. The top is paved with linoleum paper to keep out the rain, but it is estimated that a Heavy snow will collapse.
There is basically nothing in the shack. There are partitions made of fences made of branches in a corner of about four square meters on one side. It is Catalina's own private property, and the ground inside is covered with thick yellow grass. , there is an old-looking lipstick under the yellow grass, which is Catalina's only property.
Then the other space in the shack is where the children sleep. Of course they sleep on weeds, and there is nothing else in the room.
"Yana, don't you have a change of clothes? Don't you have dishes, chopsticks, knives and forks for eating? This house can still be slept in. Will it be very cold in winter?"
The little guy held in Qin An's arms didn't reply. Qin An looked down and found that she was asleep. Her face was flushed and she had a smile on her lips. It seemed that she had never slept so sweetly.
"Uncle, we really don't have a change of clothes. After our clothes are washed by our mother, we won't go out, so we will hide at home. We don't have bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks for eating. There is usually no food at home, so my mother will come from We brought some cakes and sweet potatoes from outside to eat. Sometimes we also ate earthworms, tree bark, and I even ate cockroaches! As for winter, of course it will be cold, not only for our family, but also for other families. So at that time, many people would crowd into one house to sleep at night. Everyone would sit next to each other and light a bonfire in the center of the room! Wood was also in short supply in the winter, so no matter how well everyone got along, , when winter comes, they will put aside their hatred and raise money to live on wood. But snowing in winter is also good, because we can eat snow, hehe! Catalina said that life is always so difficult, we are used to it!"
Xiang Ming answered for Yana beside Qin An, which made Qin An feel sad for the poor babies.
He even ate cockroaches? Isn't this little girl afraid?
He lowered his head to look at Xiang Ming, held his gaze for a few seconds, and finally the glass-hearted Qin An turned his head.
Yes, what these children are most afraid of may never be cockroaches or earthworms that look fleshy and delicious, right? What they fear is hunger, what they fear is the feeling of being so hungry that they want to die.
"Uncle, uncle, mom is not here! She may have gone to dance with someone. Mr. Arnold runs a dance hall on the West Road block. Many women go there to dance with others in order to get some food."
When Dafeng spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and the last part was already inaudible.
Maybe he also knows that it is not a good thing for a woman to dance with a man and then let others touch her body.
"Uncle has other things to do, but since I have promised to treat your Catalina to a barbecue, I naturally have to fulfill my promise. How about this, can you take me to find Catalina?"
"Yeah, okay!" Da Feng grinned stupidly.
"But Catalina won't let us go to that kind of place." Erhe objected.
"It's okay. Catalina won't talk about us if we have uncle with us! By the way, uncle, what's your name?" Xiangming said.
"My name is Qin An. You can call me by my name directly. You don't have to always call me uncle."
"Qin An?" The triplets were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Qin An asked curiously.
"Uncle, what a coincidence. The father we have never met before is also named Qin An, Catalina said it! Alas, it's a pity that it can't be you, because our father must not be as young, as handsome, and as capable as you. .”
The three children really didn't think that the two Qin An were the same person.
In their eyes, the biological father they had never met should be a sloppy old man, just like the old beggar from the East who died before. How could he be the handsome young man in front of them?
Qin An became even more confused after hearing what they said.
Could it be that these three children really have some connection with me? Who gave birth to them?
With doubts in their hearts, several people came out of their homes and walked through the streets to the so-called West Road neighborhood.
This place is more like a pre-apocalyptic town, with four or five streets criss-crossing each other. More than a hundred villas and houses are built on the open space where the streets intersect. There are two-meter-high wooden fences around the outside to form a circle, connecting it with the surrounding areas. of ghetto segregation.
Qin An still hugs Yana and doesn't want to disturb her clear dream.
Led by the triplets, he arrived at the block gate.
"Qin An, that's the entrance, but we can't get in. There are guards in front of the door. There's a hole at the back that you can get in, but your body is too big, and the hole can only fit a child through."
Da Feng's eyes were bright and he raised his head to speak to Qin An.
Qin An had already guessed from his look that this kid must have been through it.
"Let's go in through the front door."
"From the main entrance? Qin An, you don't know that those guards are all superpowers. They won't let us in. The neighborhood is where the rich live."
Erhe is a bit serious.
Qin An didn't waste time and took the children forward directly.
"Please show me your pass."
Sure enough, a guard came out to stop them, and the so-called pass was actually easy to get, because the neighborhood was not really a place for rich people. It was filled with poor people with super powers. It was a place for people with super powers to live. The houses inside looked... It seems very high-end, but the people here are still poor because food is too tight.
The Gul'dan people can survive by relying on the photosynthesis of the Blue Tower and do not need to eat, so they do not store food and naturally cannot help humans.
The global village is regarded as human autonomy, and the Gul'dan people just provided a place for them.
Qin An looked at the strong guard, raised his hand, and already had a communication card in his hand.
This is naturally transformed by the ever-changing ability, and it can definitely be confused with the real thing.
The guard looked at it casually without delving into it. There were actually many people coming in and out of the West Road neighborhood on weekdays, and the children had no idea of the actual situation.
In this way, several people in the group successfully entered. The little guys admired Qin An so much that they quietly asked him where he got the communication certificate.
Qin An remained mysterious and did not tell them the reason, but he was actually a little proud.
The dance hall opened by Mr. Arnolds was in the center of the street. The strong wind led the way and they arrived at their destination after a while. It seemed that this boy had indeed been to this place secretly. He must be worried about his sister-in-law Catalina, right?
Qin An turned on his ability to peer into the sky and looked inside. This huge independent building only had two floors.
The first floor is a dance floor and the second floor is a casino with empty rooms.
The dance floor was not very lively at this time. Some men and women were hugging each other and rocking slowly to the rhythm of light music. There were women wearing revealing clothes on the nearby pedestals. It was obvious that the guests had not arrived yet. After all, it was too early. Although it was already Dusk, but not yet night.
The casino was very lively at this time. A group of big men were shouting around various gambling equipment, and most of their chips were real objects, including food and some small pieces of sword soul stones.
Sword soul fragments are very precious, but food is even more precious now. Everything edible within a radius of hundreds of miles has basically been looted. The crops planted and harvested last year and the beginning of spring were between the Gul'dan people and the Crescent City people at the beginning of the year. were burned down in the battle, and many livestock were also killed in the war. The food in the fields is not yet mature, so the entire global village is struggling.
Food has a price but no market, so some people with supernatural powers are willing to gamble with the sword soul fragments they have obtained from killing wild beasts. If they can exchange for food, it will be considered worthwhile.
Those empty rooms are mainly used for guests and women in the dance hall to sleep, and there is almost no one at this time.
Qin An explored for a while, and two women in the corner of the first floor attracted his attention.
