unedited

“That Old Tang is a smart man . ” Bai Ling could read the thoughts laid bare on Bai Xiaoxi’s face . From his eyes, she could see he seemed to no longer care about her reasons, but she still said it . “If he can survive, he will owe us a favor . If there is a need later, I will make him pay us back . ”

From Old Tang’s appearance and his name, Bai Ling’s memory was jolted . She seemed to have heard that name during the apocalypse era . At this point in time, his name was still obscure, but later on, his fame would spread far and wide . He was rumored to be an intelligent man full of wisdom . How could a man that could build a business empire in the apocalypse be simple?

He blinked after hearing her explanations, staring at her with round eyes . He repressed his smile . So, she went all out to save an intelligent to open more roads in the future . He felt that with her strength she might not need his help .

If he knew that some humans will become methumans in the future, he would not have thought like that .

As the sky darkened, Bai Ling took out a flashlight since there was no more electricity to light the streets . It also made her worry about her grandma and uncle . How long can their cellphones’ batteries last?

In her previous life, on the fourth days without electricity, she lost contact with her family . She had to admit that she was too green in her previous life . In the first days of the apocalypse, she overused her cellphone and didn’t think about charging it until the electricity was cut . At that time, she was left with not much battery charge, making her cellphone obsolete in a matter of a few days .

As a matter of fact, most people couldn’t imagine a widespread blackout . Everyone’s life was very dependant on electricity-based technology . So, losing that energy had cut their communication with the world, leaving them stranded in their own despair .

In this life, she had instructed her grandma and Bai Shan as early as yesterday to charged all the electronics but most importantly, the cellphones and flashlight . She didn’t want to lose contact with them again .

Since Bai Ling was coming to them, she needed to know their whereabouts to avoid unexpected accidents like the ones in her last life . Although she knew that her grandma and uncle won’t leave the village until her arrival, she couldn’t be sure when it comes to Bai Shan .

In her previous life, after her grandmother’s death, she left with her uncle to find Bai Shan, but the apartment was already dusty for a long time . She never heard of Bai Shan again until she learned of her death and when they rushed to her resting place with great difficulty, there was nothing left of her . They only learned fragments of her experience from the mouths of strangers .

This time, Bai Ling must have a grasp on Bai Shan’s whereabouts . She even warned her sister numerous times not to leave the house rashly or at least, she had to inform Bai Ling if she decided to leave with Little Meatball .

Unfortunately, there was a factor Bai Ling didn’t take into account – Bai Shan’s mother-in-law . There was no way Bai Shan wouldn’t listen to Bai Ling . Her cellphone was fully charged before the blackout, but out of loneliness and goodwill, she made a call to her mother-in-law .

In her previous life, she also did the same thing . History was repeating itself .

While Bai Ling was finding a place to rest, Bai Shan was looking at her battery life while whimpering and hugging her son tightly .

There was no more food in her mother-in-law’s house, so they told her they will come to her house . In addition, they told her that her place was closer to the safety zone . That woman spoke like she was giving Bai Shan alms .

Although she lived in another house, both houses were not far . Their relationship could only be summed as bad . When Bai Shan called, the first thing she would be asked was why she couldn’t contact her son and if Bai Shan was stopping her son from calling her .

Bai Shan was baffled by her admonishment and couldn’t help tightening the grip on her cellphone . She wanted to send a text message to Bai Ling since her sister didn’t want her to leave the house, a feeling she shared . However, she was afraid that her problems would distract Bai Ling and hesitated while watching the battery on her phone slowly depleted .
