Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 18 Death Chooses Survival
"I don't think you need to give Xu Hu's parents 4 kilograms all at once. Remember this and give it to them gradually in the future. There's no need to rush." Zhang Kun shook his head. "On the contrary, it's you who needs the black crystal now."

After listening to Zhang Kun's words, Su Ding paused and suddenly felt that what the other party said made sense.

Although Monkey gave him 2 kilograms of black crystal, he couldn't squander it like that.

"Yeah, okay." Su Ding nodded, then looked at Zhang Kun and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know where Xu Hu's home is?"

"It's on the 3th floor of Building 4. I'll take you there." Zhang Kun walked to the front and entered an old corridor.

The buildings here are very old and are from before the disaster.

Going up the stairs, you can see that the cement underneath has cracked, revealing the steel bars inside.

"Xu Hu wasn't such a materialistic person before. When I knew him, he was quite generous. But ever since his father was beaten and paralyzed, he's become petty.

But it was precisely because of his character that he and his parents survived alone." Zhang Kun sighed.

Su Ding listened silently.

"In fact, everyone who goes mining in the wilderness with me has their own difficulties." Zhang Kun paused, glanced at Su Ding, and continued climbing the stairs. He said, "Like you, your parents are dead. You can't survive, so you have to go scavenging with me.

Li Jingan only thought about going out and trying her luck after being sold to a stable by her parents.

Xu Hu, thinking about making his parents feel better.

Monkey, like you, is an orphan, trying to carve out a future for himself.

Even though Xiong Qian died, even though she harmed Li Jingan, she left for the same reason as Xu Hu, wanting to help ease the burden on her parents.

"People are all different." Zhang Kun sighed, "You may hate some people to death, but in front of others, they can be said to be good people."

Su Ding remained silent.

If he were given another chance to do it again, he would not bring Xiong Qian with him.

What does it have to do with him if the other person is kind to others?

"We're here." Zhang Kun stopped and looked at the door not far away.

At the door, there were two old men sitting on a bench, staring blankly ahead.

The old lady suddenly noticed Zhang Kun, her eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately stood up and took Zhang Kun's hand, "Kun, where is my Hu Zi? Is he staying at your house? Tell him to come home early and don't let us worry all the time."

When Zhang Kun heard his words, a trace of guilt appeared on his face. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he just turned his head away.

"It's okay if he doesn't want to go home." Seeing his expression, the old lady's lips trembled. She pressed Zhang Kun's hand with a trembling hand and said, "It's normal for young people not to like... being with their parents."

"Hu Zi, you're back?" At this time, the old man turned his head, looked at Zhang Kun with hazy eyes, and scolded: "You little bastard, you also know to come back! Do you know how worried your mother and I are about you!"

Su Ding looked over in surprise.

Noticing his gaze, Zhang Kun nodded his head.

Su Ding immediately understood that there was something wrong with this old man's brain.

Then he walked forward and said to the old lady, "Auntie, Xu Hu has something else to do and won't be back for a while. Here is the black crystal he brought for you."

This is the black crystal he made on the road.

Two kilograms in total.

"Let him use this black crystal himself. What do we, two old bones, need so much black crystal for?" The old lady pushed the black crystal into Su Ding's hand as if she had touched a hot potato.

"Xu Hu asked us to bring this black crystal to you. Auntie, please don't make things difficult for us." Su Ding stuffed the bag into the old lady's arms and comforted her with a few words.

The old lady just wiped her eyes, her hands soaked with tears.

After giving the black crystal to Xu Hu's parents, Su Ding and Zhang Kun went downstairs.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you notify those who didn't come back?" Su Ding asked Zhang Kun.

"I did." Zhang Kun said, "It's just that when I came back, it was already dusk, so I didn't have time to inform them."

At this point, he shook his head again and sighed, "Actually, whether to notify or not, there's no need. Because if we don't notify them, they'll know he's dead when they see that he hasn't returned before Youye. The old lady actually knows what happened, but she just doesn't want to accept such a result. Alas, an old lady, plus an old man who's a little confused, who knows when he'll be gone."

Su Ding followed beside him, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, he really didn't like this atmosphere.

"However, Xu Hu died, and his parents were sad for him. What if I died? Who would be sad for me? I'm afraid no one would know that I was here." Su Ding suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Although, the original body had no parents, which saved him a lot of effort.

But this also made him feel like duckweed floating on the water, with a sense of nothingness.

"But I still want to live." Su Ding pursed his lips, his belief in living was still extremely firm.

People don’t have to pursue any meaning in life.

He just knew that he wanted to live.

"Are you still short of water? Do you want to go get some water?" Zhang Kun asked Su Dingdao.

Hearing this, Su Ding shook his head and said, "No need, I still have water."

It is quite troublesome to get water here.

The water source here has been occupied by the army sent by the big companies in the city.

If you want to get water, you have to pay the water fee.

He had already fetched several buckets of water, which was enough.

"Woo woo wow wow..." At this moment, a strange cry came from not far away.

At the same time, there was a burst of laughter.

Su Ding looked over.

That's where you draw water.

There, a group of people were queuing up with buckets in their hands.

Three company soldiers were laughing as they watched a lively figure in the field who was making strange noises.

The figure had his hands hanging down, his face tense, and making strange noises, just like a monkey.

Su Ding's eyes widened slightly.

That figure was the monkey.

"In fact, when Monkey was first introduced, there was something left unsaid. He was called Monkey because he often acted like a monkey and begged others for food and water." Zhang Kun said quietly on the side.

"Doesn't he already have black crystal?" Su Ding couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Kun glanced at Su Ding and said with a smile, "Didn't you bring up the name of the scavenging group to avoid trouble?
He didn't want to show off his wealth in order to avoid trouble. Didn't you see that he was covering himself up when he went out before?

Su Ding was speechless.

This may be everyone's way of survival.

Then he looked at the monkey in the field again and sighed.

"Let's go." Su Ding shook his head and said to Zhang Kun beside him.

He didn't want to continue watching this scene.

At this moment, something unexpected happened on the field.

"Monkey, come here. I'll show you something." A man dressed as an officer suddenly called out to the monkey.
