Chapter 135 – Feelings And Sentiments


“Wait here, I’ll go take a look.” Cheng Yang immediately said. As long as Cheng Yang didn’t clarify the situation above, he naturally couldn’t let the two people go up.


Without waiting for their reply, Cheng Yang took a violent leap four meters into the air while holding a iron sword in hand. At the apex of the jump he fiercely pierced the iron sword in his right hand into the stone wall, leaving his body hanging there.


After waiting a moment for his body to slightly stabilized, Cheng Yang vigorously swung himself near the huge stone.


At this distance, it wasn’t hard for Cheng Yang to climb to the edge of the boulder. He took another leap.


Upon arrival, Cheng Yang smelled a strong odorous stench. Fortunately, he could be regarded as passing through numerous hardships, so he was able to endure the smell.


Glancing at the above scene, Cheng Yang instantly frowned. On this ten square meters platform was a total of three people.


One of the three people was dead and the corpse seems to be rotting away. The stench was coming from her body. From the head that has yet to completely rotten, he could tell that she was an old woman in her 60s.


Next to the old woman laid a middle-aged man in his thirties. At this time, the old woman’s festering corpse water has invaded below the stone’s surface below this middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man’s dim eyes remained gazing into the sky seemingly not bothered at all. If not for his chest that was occasionally undulating ups and downs, Cheng Yang would had thought that he was dead.


The third person was a little farther away from these two people, lying sideway against the stone wall. It was a child that should be around 11-12 years old, moreover it was a girl. That cry for help came from her mouth.


Even without asking questions, Cheng Yang could guess one or two of the identities of the three people.


Ascertaining that the area was clear of danger,, Cheng Yang walked towards the little girl. After holding the barely conscious little girl up, he withdrew a large pot of porridge directly from the storage ring, poured some out into a bowl and deliver it to her mouth.


The little girl was clearly suffering from malnutrition. She greedily stared at the food by her lips, but her eyes clearly flashes signs of struggles. Suddenly, she said, “Save….save my papa” She raised her hands feebly towards the man lying on the ground.


With a gentle tone Cheng Yang told her, “Your father doesn’t want to live anymore. Only you can persuade him to continuing living. The only thing I can do is wake him up. Little girl, shouldn’t you first drink this bowl of porridge? It will help you regain some of your strength.”


The little girl stared upwards at Cheng Yang, her hands shaking as she received the little bowl from him. She quickly drank the entire bowl in several gulps.


After quite a while, the little girl soon recovered a portion of her strength, her eyes finally sparked with a bit of vigor. Suddenly, she began to struggle to crawl towards her father’s position.


Sigh! Cheng Yang bend down to hug her frail body and walked up to her father in two steps.


“Daddy …Daddy. …” The little girl shouted anxiously in a weak voice, “Hurry and get up! No matter what don’t leave Lingling by herself! Woo….woooh..”


The man seemed to have heard the little girl’s cry as his eyelids slightly moved. Under the little girl’s continuous cries, the man finally tilted his head to look at the little girl’s face.


At the same time, he also notice Cheng Yang’s presence. His eyes flashed a glimmer of joy, he then started to stutter, “Lingling….. father….father isn’t well. Father…..want to go….see….your grandmother.”


“No … I don’t want you to … “The little girl clearly knew what the man meant, she madly shook her head refusing to believe his words.


Two teardrops fell from the man’s dry face, letting out a heavy sigh containing full of emotions he focused his attention on Cheng Yang, “Sir….I beg of you to help me…..take care of Lingling. Next life….”


Cheng Yang didn’t let the man finished speaking and interrupted him,”Your daughter is your responsibility to take care of. If you want to avoid it by dying, then you are not qualified to ask me to do anything.”


“I …”The man paused for a second then continued dejectedly, “Is….is it still possible to survive in this world?”


Cheng Yang casually replied to the man’s question, “So long as you want to live, you can.”


The man looked into Cheng Yang’s eyes, wanting to determine whether he was telling the truth. Finally, he nodded his head.


At once, Cheng Yang made another bowl of porridge and sent it to the man’s mouth. The man opened his mouth and began to drank it down.


The little girl immediately cheered up when she saw that her father began eating something, and then bursted into laughter. She knew that as long as her father ate something he wouldn’t die.


“Old Niu, Xiyue, just wait a bit longer. There’s nothing for you to see up here.” Cheng Yang didn’t want to let Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue to feel worried below, so he gave them a greeting.


Taking advantage of the time the man was recovering, Cheng Yang asked the little girl a few question and along with the occasional supplement from the middle-aged man, he was finally able to figure out a few things.


As it turned out, this little girl and her family was a pleasant household in this area. In addition, they also opened up a shop across the street, so their daily lifestyle wasn’t that bad. However, when the earthquake that signify that start of the apocalypse occurred, the ground undergone a sudden mutation, elevating the ground on both sides of the house. The three people were all in the shop at this time. At their feet emerged a huge stone, which was propped up the air from both sides of the cliff.


As for the house, it has instantly collapsed from all the shaking.


When the three people suddenly discovered themselves eight to nine meters in the air, they were flabbergasted. The cliffs were nearly a hundred meters high. It was impossible to jump down such a high height. Even getting off the stone was also seven to eight meters from the top of the cliffs. If they jumped, they might break their hands and feets. No one dares to take this risk without knowing the current situation.


At that moment, they recalled the voice that appeared moments before the earthquake happened. At first they thought it was just someone playing a mischievous prank, but now it seems to not be the case.


When the man pondered on how to get down to the ground, the first wave of monsters appeared, even below this gap was no exception.


On the stone platform they saw with their eyes a neighbor rushing in from the other side of the gap, and then being eaten apart under the siege of several enchanted beasts.


This tragic scene gave them great fright, making them dare not think of going down anymore. They could only stay on top of the stone platform, awaiting for someone to come and rescue them.


They didn’t have to fear about being attack by enchanted beasts, unless it was a monster that could climb up walls. If they came across such an existence, they could only resigned to their fate.


Now the only issue was food. Fortunately, the place they were at used to be a grocery store. During the earthquake, many items were scattered from the shelves and fell as the stone platform rose. Although not much were left remaining but if they eat sparingly, lasting for 10 days wasn’t a problem.


But when seven to eight days passed, there was still no sign of rescue. The little girl was still optimistic, but the two adults had already began to despair.


One night, the little girl’s grandmother committed suicide with a knife while the father-daughter pair were asleep. When the man woke up to find this scene, he deeply and profoundly grieved. He knew that his mother was trying to save food for both the father and daughter, so that they could persist longer and committed suicide.


This incident dealt a huge blow to the man. He sat blankly next his mother’s dead body and wasn’t willing to throw her body down the stone platform, because below frequently has enchanted beasts passing by.


Time went on.


On the 17th day following the apocalypse, food was finally depleted. Had Cheng Yang not arrived, maybe the two would’ve soon starve.


At this time, Cheng Yang learned the name of the father-daughter pair. The father was called Chu Qiang, while the daughter was called Chu Yiling.


But how to deal with these two people, Cheng Yang was a bit puzzled. Bringing them along with them to Yi Cheng would no doubt delay their speed, moreover the journey would be dangerous. Instead of starving to death, they might died in the mouth of an enchanted beast. However, to escort them to Luo Feng Village would also delay Cheng Yang a lot of time. After all, it was 20 kilometers away from Luo Feng Village. According to the speed of these two people, it would at least take 3-4 hours to walk back.


After some thinking, Cheng Yang said, “Chu Qiang, your father-daughter pair will remain on this stone platform. I will first leave some food behind for you. When we return at night, we’ll take you back with us.”


Chu Qiang’s expression greatly changed but before he could say anything, the little girl sticking close to Cheng Yang pulled on his arm and said, “Uncle, please do not leave Lingling here.”


Cheng Yang looked at Chu Qiang, then he turned his attention to the little girl whose face was covered in dusts but couldn’t hide her bright pleading eyes.


He heaved a sigh, “It’s not that I don’t want to take you but the journey is too dangerous for you. Although I have some abilities but I can’t guarantee that I can protect you. In contrast, you are safer here. ”


Chu Qiang said, “Thank you, sir, but I am also somewhat strong …”


Cheng Yang shook his head and said, “The world is different now. Your strength can’t play any effect in this situation.” Afterwards, an ice puck emerged on the tip of Cheng Yang’s staff and then suddenly smashed to the side of the stone wall. Instantly, a big hole was made in the stone wall.


Chu Qiang’s father-daughter pair was immediately dumbfounded, the scene has indeed truly startled them.


Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Yang removed some food from the storage ring and placed them on the slate, and then jumped off the platform.


When the two people fully sobered from their shock, Cheng Yang’s group of three has already gone a great distance.


“Daddy, will that uncle come back to save us?” The little girl said with some uneasiness.


Chu Qiang firmly nodded, “He’ll come back. After all, he’s a great hero. He won’t throw Lingling away here no matter what.


“Uncle is so cool. That ice puck was amazing.” The little girl instantly shifted her attention to another topic, “Daddy, do you think when uncle comes back Lingling can ask him to help find mother?”


“Mommy went to a far away place, we’ll meet her later.” Chu Qiang’s eyes had tears coming out, but he turned his face not to let the little girl see it.


Perhaps, my wife’s already dead. In the last 20 days, no one could survive. On the day of the apocalypse, Lingling’s mother was out in the farmland, how could she survive from the enchanted beasts’ attack?


The little girl’s eyes flashed a hint of sorrow, her age was small but she was very sensible, “Mmh, Lingling will wait for mommy to come back.”
