I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

322 If I Had Followed Him, He Wouldn’t Have Ended Up Like This

She remembered Wan Dapeng’s ambitious look before they set off. He smiled and said goodbye to everyone. However, now, he was lying on the bed in such a sorry state, and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Du Yue looked at him, and her heart became more and more bitter. It seemed that it was even difficult to breathe.

“Where is he? Where’s the patient?”

He Xing rushed over with a few people in white coats. Du Yue quickly got out of the car and waved at them.

“Here!”

The medical staff was obviously used to this kind of scene. They carried Wan Dapeng out of the car in an orderly manner and placed him on the hospital bed.

Du Yue closed the trunk door and followed He Xing and the other two into the hospital. However, when they reached the door of the operating room, the medical staff pushed Wan Dapeng into the operating room and stopped them outside. “I’m sorry, his family needs to wait outside.”

At this moment, Yu Xinya, who had always been gentle and reserved, suddenly grabbed the nurse’s hand and begged with a sobbing tone, “Please, you have to save him.”

The nurse nodded in agreement and turned around to return to the operating theater.

There was a row of benches outside the operating theater. Du Yue pulled Yu Xinya to sit down. Yu Xinya’s expression was really bad. Du Yue was afraid that before Wan Dapeng came out of the operating room, Yu Xinya would collapse again.

“Little Sister, do you think that something will happen to Dapeng?”

Du Yue shook her head. “Sister Yu, Big Brother Wan is a lucky man. Nothing will happen to him. You, on the other hand, must pay attention to your body. Don’t collapse. When Brother Wan comes out of the operating room and sees you like this, he’ll be worried.”

At this moment, Yu Xinya needed someone to give her an affirmative answer. Only when she heard from others that Wan Dapeng would be fine would she not be so afraid. She took a deep breath and stabilized her heart rate. Then, she turned around and called out to Lu Xun, “Lu Xun, please tell me everything that happened.”

Previously, when she saw Wan Dapeng’s dying appearance, Yu Xinya’s mind was a mess and she did not have the time to ask these questions. Lu Xun thought for a moment and said, “When we first set off, it was very smooth. The place that Brother Wan found was originally a market. Although there was not much food left, there were still many useful things. Dapeng also said that we could look for a basement or something like that. We might be able to find some food there.

“Maybe we were lucky. On the second day, we really found a basement that hadn’t collapsed. There were large vats in the basement. We opened a few of them and found that they were filled with all kinds of pickled wild vegetables. As long as pickled vegetables were protected from light and air, they could be stored for several years without spoiling.

“I don’t know if the owner of this basement had passed away long ago or if it was left abandoned for some other reason. The large basement hadn’t been discovered by anyone, and the large vats inside were all well-preserved. With so many wild vegetables, whether we brought them back for ourselves or sold them to the base, it’d be a good thing that would make everyone happy. We were so happy that we couldn’t wait to move them to the car.

“After packing everything, we planned to return. However, this morning, we were on the way back when we realized that the road in front of us had been blocked by barbed roadblocks. If we were to force our way through, our tires would be completely destroyed. When we saw those roadblocks, we knew that someone must be trying to rob us. But there was no other way at that time. We had no choice.

“Dapeng told us to wait in the car while he got out to see what was going on. Sister Yu, you can give me a few slaps to vent your anger. If I had gotten out of the car with him… he wouldn’t have ended up like this…” An eight-foot-tall man like Lu Xun could not help but cry when he said this.

Although Yu Xinya’s eyes were also teary, she did not cry. “Don’t cry. It’s not your fault. Continue.”

Lu Xun raised his hand and wiped his face carelessly. Then, he continued with a sobbing tone, “As soon as Dapeng pushed open the door and got out of the car, more than ten people jumped out of nowhere. Each of them held a knife in their hands and threatened Dapeng to hand over all our supplies to them. Dapeng didn’t agree, so they made their move.

“Dapeng was alone, and those people were all armed with knives. He could not resist at all. In the end, Dapeng took out his gun and shot their arms. Only then did they dare not continue. It was only after I heard the gunshots that I found out that something had happened to Dapeng. I quickly ran out of the car. Those people had already escaped amidst the chaos. After that, I removed the roadblock and helped Dapeng into the car. Then, I rushed back without stopping.”
