Chapter 029.3: Harvest Season [3]

The saying that ‘men conquer the world and women conquer men’ couldn’t be more truthful in this place. In the apocalypse where the restraint and moral order that was prevalent in civilized society had collapsed, men with even a little skill always wanted to have three wives and four concubines, wishing to take all the beauties in the world. As such, some women who depended on these men would naturally try to make themselves more beautiful.

When the survivors first fled from the city, what they carried with them the most was food and money. And when they entered the stores to raze it, they wouldn’t focus on useless cosmetics since priority went to food and drinks. It was only after the small and medium-sized bases were in the initial stage of stabilization and 20% of the people had climbed to the top of the pyramid that demand for some luxury items sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In the apocalypse, people didn’t believe in the existence of an ‘afterlife’. People preferred to make merry while they still could, as such, many people broke through the shackles of ethical doctrine that restrict them in the civilized society.
In the apocalypse, the very first thing to degenerate was the people’s will.

“It’s up to you,” Qin Wuhua paused as he looked at Wu Ye, “Stay away from Ji Chong.”

“Why?” Wu Ye wondered.

“He is fond of men.”

The apocalypse had caused the number of women to drastically reduce, leading to serious imbalance in the male-to-female ratio. As a result, it was not that abnormal to find a man living with another man in a formal relationship. And while Wu Ye had always been quite ‘upright’, he had a troublesome face that would invite people to grope him and invite him to ‘dance’. He had regarded that part of his past as the darkest history he got, especially when he beat people half to death and had to be detained in the police station. Though Pang Zhi had always made fun of that past. Wu Ye himself had no opinion about homosexuality, but whenever he thought that someone was targeting him, he couldn’t help but blow up his top.

Wrong.

“It’s none of my business whether Ji Chong prefers to be with males or not!” Wu Ye hated people’s ambiguous relationship with the same sex. His wide-opened eyes were full of anger as he questioned Qin Wuhua, “What exactly you meant by telling me that, Mr. Qin?”

Qin Wuhua didn’t expect that Wu Ye’s reaction would be so big. He just said that there was no other meaning. Then, there was a flash of white light in the room. When it dispersed, Wu Ye’s figure couldn’t be found.

Qin Wuhua’s usually calm cold face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. With a crisp ‘bang’ sound, the gun barrel in his hand broke in half.

Even though Wu Ye was angry, he didn’t forget to take the canvas bag filled with gold and jewelry. Father Wu was currently supporting Ah Li leaving the toilet, and when he saw his second son suddenly appearing in the living room, he was surprised and pleased. Meanwhile, Mother Wu burst into tears.

“Mom, why are you crying?” What Wu Ye couldn’t see the most was women crying, especially if that woman was his mother. “Don’t cry, if you continue to cry, your eyes will become swollen and will not look as beautiful as usual. If they are not beautiful, my father will have to find a younger one.” Wu Ye didn’t know how many times he had said this to his mother since childhood, but it was effective every single time he used it.

“Stinky boy, can your dog's mouth spit out ivory? When did I ever go to look for a younger one, huh?!" Once Wu Ye came back, he always spoke some words that made Father Wu angry.

“Ah Ye has just returned, why are you scolding him? He’s just kidding around. Why are you being anxious if you didn’t do anything wrong?” As expected, as soon as her tears dried, Mother Wu’s eyes were immediately glued to her son, searching whether he was hurt or not.

Wu Ye was always angry recently, but seeing his old man’s ate bitterness, his anger placated itself. He made a boastful face at his father, looking just like a child who had not grown up. Seeing that, Father Wu shook his head so angrily to the point he didn’t know what to say.

“......why have you lost so much weight? Did something happen to you over there? You say you would come back in a few days, but now it’s been more than 20 days. Do you know how worried we are about you?”

Wu Ye put the canvas bag on the ground and said with a smile, “Recently, the war there had been a little intense, but now the problem had been solved and the enemy had been defeated by us. My friends and I over there exchanged our military skills for a store located in the city, and this time, I’m going to bring more things to sell there.”

In order to ease his parent’s hearts, Wu Ye talked about the zombie’s world with three parts truth and seven parts lies. Then, he distracted them by busily showing off the wealth he had exchanged with the fake cigarettes he had sold there. He didn’t notice Ah Li, who had been standing quietly at the side, clenching his fist as his eyes were filled with tears.

The author has something to say: Big Qin was very angry and the consequences  were very serious that the author silently lit a candle for little Ye.

In addition, goods trading was a very promising career, but space was certainly a necessity that one must have. However, little Ye had to first accumulate enough products (real powers) for people .

HeXie: Honestly, the author had added a little poem in the chapter...likely their own creation...but...translated in English...the poem doesn't make a lick of sense and have no rhyme...so forgive me for cutting that part out!
