Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

Chapter 100 The Past

A person who is willing to relinquish the ability to foresee the future for the sake of his granddaughter deserves the most basic respect.

Sun Qing rushed to Zhao Gang's side, knelt down, and looked at the thick sweater that was completely soaked with dark red bloodstains, trying hard not to cry.

"Sister Zhao, let me take a look at your wound."

Zhao Gang reached out and pressed Sun Qing down.

She shook her head.

Sun Qing looked at her, and this was the first time she had spoken with such an almost excited tone.

"Zhao...Zhao Gang!"

Zhao Gang looked at Sun Qing's already moist eyes.

Finally, she sighed and withdrew her hand.

With trembling hands, Sun Qing slowly lifted Zhao Gang's sweater.

next second.

The three people in the living room all saw the shocking wound.

Zhao Gang has a huge penetrating wound in his right abdomen.

A splinter, as thick as a baby's arm, was stuck there, its exposed part broken off.

Sun Qing suddenly covered her mouth, unable to utter a single word.

Old Bryce was also shocked, his body swaying precariously.

Song Qing's brows furrowed slightly.

This woman is indeed extraordinary.

Such a severe injury, with such a huge amount of blood loss, would have killed an ordinary person hundreds of times over.

Even if it's just myself.....

He really admired this woman's willpower.

Zhao Gang's breathing was weak, but she still managed to force a smile.

"It's no use...this kind of penetrating wound..."

She sighed and gave up on saying anything more.

Sun Qing finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She knelt on the ground and burst into tears, crying her heart out.

At this moment, she was like a little girl who had gotten lost and couldn't find her mother, helpless and desperate.

Old Bleich stared blankly at the scene, two lines of tears silently sliding down his aged face, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

......

When Bryce was fifteen, he came to the Dragon Kingdom from his distant hometown with his parents.

In that era, the various ethnic groups in China were still fighting and resisting the invaders.

His parents were doctors who answered the call of the International Red Cross and traveled across the ocean to this war-torn land to save lives on the front lines.

After the war, his parents fell in love with the place and decided to stay and never return to their home country.

Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Bryce's mother passed away due to a sudden illness, leaving him and his father behind forever.

His father passed away a few years after his wife's death. When Bryce was 28, he met the love of his life, Sun Xiaohua. The two worked in a factory and lived a very harmonious life. Although their income was not high, they were very happy.

But Bleich's life was full of tragedy.

It was an autumn evening when his lover died in childbirth.

She left him with a son.

He raised his son himself and witnessed his son grow up, become rebellious, understand, start working, and get married.

He also felt that the first time he saw his granddaughter, Sun Qing, was when she was just born.

At that time, old Bryce wished he could hold him every day. At that time, old Bryce felt that he had finally gotten through the pain of the first half of his life.

But fate had no intention of letting him go.

The company where my son and daughter-in-law worked was destroyed in a fire.

Old Bryce still remembers the little girl who had just started elementary school asking him questions back then.

Where are Grandpa, Mom, and Dad?

Bryce was heartbroken, so he lied for the first time.

Haha, Daddy and Mommy are going on a long trip and won't be back for a very long time. Don't be sad, our little sweetheart.

Sun Qing, still a child, simply nodded obediently.

Throughout his life, fate seemed to play tricks on him every time, but it still left him with one last hope.

Xiao Qing was more innocent than other children from a young age, and no one made friends with him, but he worked very hard.

Bryce never scolded his granddaughter; he simply taught her patiently.

He also recalled how pleased old Bryce was when his girlfriend first brought her friends home six years ago.

Zhao Gang is an orphan who often comes to Xiao Qing's house.

Over time, old Bryce also came to regard Zhao Gang as his own granddaughter.

......

Thinking of this, Blake struggled to his feet, then knelt down and said.

"Mr. Song... I know... I know this isn't right, but please, please save Zhao girl, cough cough."

Old Bryce coughed up blood all over the floor because of a violent cough.

Upon hearing this, Sun Qing, as if he had found a lifeline, crawled over on his knees and kowtowed to Song Qing, saying...

"My benefactor, please, save Sister Zhao! I'll do anything for you, even be your slave."

Sister Zhao is his only friend, and he doesn't want to lose her.

From childhood to adulthood, none of his friends liked to play with him, except for Sister Zhao.

As Zhao Gang lay on the ground watching this scene, tears welled up in his eyes.

Grandpa, Xiaoqing.

Zhao Gang hated himself for getting injured, hated himself for not dying sooner, for making Xiao Qing and his grandfather worry about him so much, and hated himself now.

Song Qing stepped forward and helped old Bleich up, then nodded as he sat back down in his chair.

He looked at Sun Qing, who was kneeling on the ground with her forehead bleeding from kowtowing, and kept repeating her pleading words. He then looked at the old man sobbing uncontrollably in the chair.

Looking at Sun Qing's beautiful face, stained with tears and blood, Song Qing felt inexplicably irritated.

This silly, cute foreign girl looks really awful when she cries.

"Get up, what's the use of crying?"

Song Qing's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Sun Qing's ears clearly.

Sun Qing froze, looked up, and her bright blue eyes were filled with confusion.

"benefactor……"

"I said, get up." Song Qing repeated, and then flicked her forehead again.

"ah."

Sun Qing instinctively covered her forehead. This time, she didn't cry out in pain; she just stared blankly at Song Qing.

Song Qing was too lazy to say anything more, so he bent down and lifted her off the ground like a chick.

"Stop arguing."

Sun Qing was being held by him, completely stunned, tears still clinging to her eyelashes.
