Chapter 1449 - 534: Another Rescue Mission (Part 13)
"Oh my, isn’t that Hetian? You’ve come back? My God, your parents have been worried sick about you!"
The RV stopped at Shen Hetian’s doorstep, and He Tiantian, suppressing her astonishment and concern about the weather, opened the car door and jumped out.
As soon as she landed, her knees were submerged in thick snow.
The neighbor from next door, wearing a thick cotton robe, was heading to the yard to get firewood. Hearing commotion outside and worried it might be zombies or bad people, she rushed out to check.
Upon looking up, she saw He Tiantian and excitedly shouted.
"Fifth Aunt, it’s me!"
He Tiantian had all the memories of the original self, naturally recognizing the original self’s neighbors.
The husband of this Aunt, by relation, was the original self’s paternal uncle.
They had long been outside the Five Tribes, but the ancestry was shared by the same Ancestor, so whenever they met, they were addressed as Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt.
"Glad you’re back! Glad you’re back! Things outside are all in chaos, aren’t they?"
"Oh my, I heard it’s something called the apocalypse? Just how did a normal world turn into an apocalypse?"
"Heard there are zombies outside? My god, what kind of monsters are those? The neighboring village has several of them. Oh, right, our village has some too, but your Third Grandpa has locked them up with the tribe’s people!"
"...Oh, by the way, Xiao Ao from West Street also returned, and he drove a big car like this, bringing lots of stuff!"
This Fifth Aunt was quite talkative, or rather, the apocalypse over these few days really scared and suffocated her.
Seeing young people escape back from outside, she couldn’t help but talk non-stop.
He Tiantian raised her eyebrows, "Brother Aotian came back too? Is he alright?"
She hadn’t wagered wrong; the male lead indeed returned to his hometown.
But unlike herself, he came back from a much farther and more dangerous Capital City.
He got home even earlier than she did and brought plenty of supplies!
It must be said; a male lead is a male lead. Whether it’s his aura or true strength, it’s far beyond others.
"Yeah, he returned around noon. Tsk tsk, heard it was especially tough on the way, hard to imagine, how many people in Capital City, and how many monsters?"
"But Xiao Ao managed to travel three to four thousand miles by himself..."
Fifth Aunt mentioned Shen Aotian, the most promising young man from Shenjiaping, full of praise.
While speaking, she couldn’t help but reveal a look of envy and jealousy—
Sigh, all raising kids, yet her own child’s schooling and work are hopeless, truly can’t compare in any aspect;
Nowadays the apocalypse arrived, not to mention a few thousand miles back home, even staying in the County just a bit over a hundred miles away, they’re afraid to run back home.
It’s not that they don’t miss their hometown parents, but thinking about those terrible monsters outside, they dare not step out.
Of course, as parents, they’re also worried the children might have accidents on the road, over the phone, they’re constantly reminding them to be careful, no need to worry about home!
Fifth Aunt is loving towards her children, naturally not blindly comparing.
But seeing Shen Aotian who was distant at Capital City managed to return home in just a few days, she couldn’t help but feel envious.
Oh, and there’s Shen Hetian next door, this kid is good too. Truly, the second most promising person after Shen Hetian from their village.
He Tiantian:... Second most, that’s a bit awkward.
"Kids, his Third Uncle, his Third Aunt, Xiao He from your family is back!"
After endlessly chattering, Fifth Aunt was covered in snow on her head and body.
The rapidly dropping temperature made her shiver uncontrollably.
She cursed under her breath: "This ghostly weather, snowing in late autumn, and so cold, no wonder it’s the apocalypse, it’s damn unusual!"
Fifth Aunt shook off the snow on her body, feeling like she’s about to freeze stiff.
No matter how much interest she had in chatting, she dared not stay outside too long. Stretching her neck, she shouted towards the small courtyard next door!
"What? Who’s back?"
A female voice came from the small courtyard.
He Tiantian heard clearly, it was none other than the original self’s real mother Seo Xiaoyun.
"Who? Who else could it be? Of course, it’s your Xiao He coming back!"
Fifth Aunt’s face didn’t show it, but her heart was full of envy.
Sigh, the child next door was in the Provincial City, yet found a way to come back.
Their own son and daughter-in-law working in the County, yet—
Forget it, forget it, as long as the children are safe, whether they return is not a big issue!
Pulled her cotton jacket tight, Fifth Aunt chatted a few words with Seo Xiaoyun who came rushing out, then stomped her feet and ran back to her yard to fetch firewood.
