Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 279 A Wonderful Encounter

On 27 January 2017, 30 December 2017, Qin An and Little Ru were trapped on Dongding Island for one and a half days.

On this day, the two of them swept away the decadence of the previous day, because today was New Year\'s Eve! The second New Year in the apocalypse!

Most people in China pay attention to the New Year, especially those who are away from home.

Qin An and Li Ying had no parents, so they were the only ones in the New Year before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, the first New Year was spent with Xiaoyan. However, at that time, they had just entered the apocalypse. Neither of them had much joy in celebrating the New Year.

In the past year, Qin An had experienced many things, some were sad, some were happy, some were unforgettable, and some were forgotten. This allowed him to gradually adapt to the apocalypse, to adapt to the changes in the apocalypse.

One must think of happy things in desperate times. Otherwise, how can one survive?

Therefore, after Qin An and Little Ru woke up early in the morning, they decided to properly prepare for the New Year on this island.

The two of them first went to the beach to pick up crabs. The crabs in winter were small and didn\'t have any meat, but they tasted different when they were cooked in water.

Although the former garrison on the island didn\'t even leave a single piece of clothing behind, they had everything they needed to cook. Qin An even found some lighters and a few packs of unknown brand cigarettes in a room. They should be the cigarettes that Taiwan people usually liked to smoke. They were all white-mouthed mixed-type cigarettes. They tasted different from the flue-cured tobacco Qin An usually smoked, so much so that they looked a little like Zhongnanhai.

Although this kind of cigarette was not used to, it was already very rare for a smoker to find a cigarette in the Jedi. Naturally, he did not mind the type or taste of the cigarette.

After picking up half a bucket of crabs, just as he was about to return to the highlands of the island, Little Ru suddenly cried out in surprise, and then ran towards the seaside rocks dozens of meters away.

Qin An narrowed his eyes and looked over there. He discovered that there were a few large fish that were already on the verge of death on the rocks. Each of them was about half a meter long. They should have been washed ashore by the waves.

Without knowing why Xiao Ru was so happy, Qin An could only follow.

At this moment, Xiao Ru held a big fish in her hand and smiled sweetly at Qin An.

Qin An said, "What kind of fish is this? Can it be eaten? Is it a mutated species? If you eat mutated fish, it is very likely to become a zombie!"

Xiao Ru shook her head and said, "These are not mutated fish. I know them. These fish are called red snappers! Before the apocalypse, I used to catch these fish with my friends. They would swim into the shallow waters of the coast to lay eggs in spring, and spend the winter on the coast or shore within fifty meters of the water from autumn to winter. Haha, how lucky!"

Qin An had no experience of living on the beach, so he naturally didn\'t know about this kind of fish. He asked, "Are you sure it\'s a real snapper? Don\'t get me wrong, and if it\'s an ordinary fish, why haven\'t they been eaten by those man-eating mutated black fish?"

"Of course," said Little Ru, "I\'ve seen this fish many times, and I\'ve caught a lot of them myself. As for why they haven\'t been eaten, who knows? Perhaps those piranhas hate the smell of red snappers! However, its taste is very delicious for us humans! Haha, we can stew it, steam it, and cut it into sashimi! "Although some parts of this fish are not edible, there are so many of them here, enough for us to have a whole fish feast. As the saying goes, there are more fish every year, isn\'t eating fish equivalent to celebrating the New Year?"

Hearing what Little Ru said, Qin An was happy as well. He put the other empty bucket on the ground and stuffed all the red snapper on the ground into the bucket. The two of them were filled and happily returned to the house in the central highland of the island.

Next, they did not stay idle. They brought out all the iron pots in the room. Then, Qin An went to the vicinity to get some branches for firewood. After lighting them, he began to boil the water. The water was stored last night. In order to catch salt fish in the sea, Qin An was bitten several times by those mutated piranha fish.

After the water boiled, Little Ru also tidied up a few fish and made a plate of sashimi.

Qin An placed the fish Little Ru handed him in several pots. One was braised, the other was steamed, and the last was boiled in water.

Then he put up a shelf with firewood, lit a campfire, and roasted all the remaining fish.

Little Ru washed the little crab and cooked it in the same pot!

After a while of busy work, the two of them finally managed to do everything well.

After moving the table from the room to the stone platform outside and placing the dishes on it, it looked like the New Year was coming.

Xiao Ru smiled and said, "It\'s a pity that the weather is too cold. Although we are not afraid of the cold, the vegetables are scared. Just order more bonfires around the table. This way, the temperature nearby will be increased, and we will be able to heat the vegetables immediately after they are cold!" Yesterday I found a razor on the sofa table in the house over there. Go in and shave your beard! "Look at you now, like a gorilla, you still have scissors by the sofa. Take them out together when you\'re done. I\'m cutting your hair!"

After Qin An listened to Little Ru\'s words, he looked at her in a daze. Qin An suddenly felt that Little Ru\'s tiny body revealed a mysterious aura, a maternal aura!

This girl, who looked like a little girl, gave off a very comfortable feeling.

Her smile was as soft as the spring breeze,

Her words were as gentle as Mu Yu\'s.

Her skilled movements in cleaning up the fish and crabs made her look like a housewife.

After being stunned for a long time, under Little Ru\'s urging, Qin An finally came to his senses and walked towards the room she was talking about.

After entering the room, he got some water and wiped his body. Then, he shaved off all the beards on his face. After tidying up, he found the scissors that Xiao Ru had mentioned and returned to Xiao Ru\'s side.

After his beard was cleaned, Qin An\'s face became young, handsome and energetic. He looked like a young man in his twenties.

Xiao Ru looked at Qin An and smiled, "You look much younger than I imagined!"

Qin An curled his lips and said, "You give me a feeling that you are much older than your appearance!"

Xiao Ru was stunned for a moment. After carefully sizing up what Qin An had said, she realized that the content of the words was actually the opposite of what she had said. Not only did she feel that it was a little funny, but it was also funny.

Next, Little Ru began to trim Qin An\'s hair with scissors! Qin An\'s hair was very long, almost never cut in the apocalypse. Little Ru skillfully waved his scissors, cutting Qin An\'s hair very short, making it flat.

Lastly, Xiao Ru looked at Qin An\'s hair and smiled. "Your face is very square. How energetic you look with such short hair! I always hoped that I could have a boy, and then cut his hair like this, put on neat black and white checked clothes, and then take him shopping together, hehe!"

Qin An said gloomily, "Xiao Ru, do you know that you are like a housewife in your thirties! The child\'s mother!"

Xiao Ru smiled, as if she was joking, "I am!"

Qin An laughed dryly and said, "You really are a demon!"

Xiao Ru\'s expression paused for a moment before she forced a smile and said, "You\'re right. In the past, there were indeed many people who called me a demon!"

Qin An was really speechless towards Little Ru! It was as if she had to admit everything she said about her.

After getting Qin An\'s haircut, the two of them started to get some branches and hay nearby. After coming back, they piled them up near the dining table. After that, Qin An went back to a few houses to find out what else could be used. In the end, he found a box of liquor and some gasoline.

With these things, the fire could be burned even more vigorously, while the liquor could be used for drinking.

By noon, they were finally done with everything. Then, they sat opposite each other at the table in a circle of flames and poured a cup of wine, preparing to spend the New Year\'s Eve together!

It was a wonderful encounter.

A young man in his thirties and a young girl of unknown age.

When they met, they never thought that there would be any intersection between them.

However, fate allowed them to roam together in the sea of rage for one night. After that, they experienced the most beautiful scene they had ever seen in their lives, the picture of the clear blue sea drifting with snow. Finally, they were trapped on a lonely island in the sea.

Today, at this time, they will experience a new year in the apocalypse together!

After being busy for a while, the dishes were already cold, but there were campfires everywhere. Little Ru diligently heated the dishes over and over again, and then had a New Year dinner with Qin An.

Qin An\'s cooking skills were not bad, and he also relied on the complete set of cooking tools and seasonings on the island, so the taste of the dishes made Little Ru very satisfied.

She smiled and said to Qin An, "You can even open a restaurant with your cooking skills!"

Qin An smiled and said, "Before the apocalypse, I always wanted to open a restaurant! I was born in the army, I didn\'t go to college, and I was very honest, so I didn\'t have much success! The only thing I\'m proud of is that I married a beautiful wife!"

At this point, the smile on Qin An\'s face froze and he took a deep sip of wine!

His alcohol tolerance was not good, but this mouthful of wine was too hurried, causing him to cough.

Little Ru stood up from his chair and walked to Qin An\'s side, knocking him on the back with his small fist. He rebuked, "It\'s not like there\'s anyone snatching it from you. Drink slowly! Anyway, we\'re trapped right now! There\'s no need to rush to work, nor do we need to think about saving the world."

Qin An nodded to Little Ru, expressing his gratitude. Little Ru returned to his seat and Qin An said, "Ah! Little Ru, you said it was the end of the world. Why are we still celebrating the New Year? I don\'t know what will happen in the future, but do we still need to cross the New Year to the future?"

Little Ru chuckled and said, "Whether you cross the New Year or not, the future is there! This is the same principle before and after the apocalypse! So why are you thinking so much? Fortunately, you can still remember that today is New Year\'s Eve. If you hadn\'t told me, I wouldn\'t have known! So, this New Year, I\'ve taken all of your glory!"

Qin An said, "Because my little brother once gave me a watch with a calendar, so I know when the day comes. Unfortunately, that watch was lost while drifting in the seawater!"

Little Ru said, "Alright! The so-called old things don\'t go, the new ones don\'t come! No, the year has come to an end, and the new year is coming! Qin An, I am a person who values fate! I feel very happy to meet you in the apocalypse and spend the New Year with you trapped on a lonely island! Come on, let\'s drink to you!"

Qin An laughed loudly and said to Little Ru, "I am very happy to have such an experience with a little demon like you! Also, I am also a person who values fate!"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They raised their glasses and drank together, enjoying a different kind of two-person world in the lonely island!
