Volume 3 Chapter 8 Arrival
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Itoji Muzi was stiff, she thought that Shao Qing would kill her directly or throw her into the sea to feed the fish, but Shao Qing didn’t. She didn’t do anything. After the warning, she lazily went to the place where she used to fish. When she embraced Er Dai, she smiled and said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you but this man is also mine.”
It seemed she was allowed to stay on this boat. Itoji Muzi was weeping tears of joy. She was very grateful.
This is because she knew very well, during the apocalypse, what would happen to a person trying to steal a man of a powerful superhuman. Thus, she had already prepared for death, but her life was actually spared.
Of course she didn’t know that if it weren’t for her not doing anything, Shao Qing would have already thrown her into the sea. It was just that Yan Qiyue’s expression had pleased Shao Qing so she gave her a chance to live.
That’s all.
Feng Lan and Itoji Muzi would be blinded every day. Er Dai and Yan Qiyuewere tiring as heck. Every day they would try to stick to Shao Qing all day.
Initially, Itoji Muzi had slept with Shao Qing. But due to her actions, she was kicked out and could only hold her quilt to sleep on the deck.
Yan Qiyue and Er Dai immediately took the opportunity to get back in Shao Qing’s bed. It was just a bit pitiful that Er Dai could not eat. While Yan Qiyue had the ability, he could only watch but not eat.
After being officially together with Yan Qiyue, Shao Qing cared more about Yan Qiyue’s body. She didn’t want Yan Qiyue’s body to suffer, even for a day. She hoped that Yan Qiyue could do well, so they could spend the rest of their lifetime together.
The first step to recuperating the body was abstinence. The second step to recuperate the body was eating habits. The third step to recuperate the body was moderate exercise.
Now on the boat, there wasn’t much space to exercise. She couldn’t let him get up and run around the cabin every morning. So, the last one was temporarily put on hold.
But articles 1 and 2 were thoroughly implemented.
Especially abstinence. There was a saying, one drop of essence is the equivalent to ten drops of blood, how harmful! So there must be abstinence.
As for eating habits, it had to be taken in small steps. Shao Qing was very glad that she changed many of Yan Qiyue’s bad eating habits. Now she just had to stick to it.
She was doing all this for Yan Qiyue and Yan Qiyue also knew that. But being in front of his wife and being able to look but not being able to touch was such a tragic thing.
In comparison, Er Dai’s treatment was much better. After all, as long as Er Dai breaks through he could… cough. That’s why, Shao Qing was usually not guarded. Kissing, hugging, it was all normal.
With Yan Qiyue, he only got superficial contact.
This very unfair treatment made Yan Qiyue tearful. Every day he wanted to grab the ground and smash holes in the deck with his head.
While blinding the eyes of the people around them with their public displays of affection, while also teaching Yan Qiyue, after a few more days, they finally saw the coastline.
They all felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment. After all, they have experienced a lot trying to arrive at the island country. It was inevitable that they would be a little excited.
After docking on the shore, Shao Qing was very grateful to the three adorable sharks. They were also happy to cooperate. They especially wanted to be “employed” again for their return trip.
So Shao Qing gave them a lot of crystal nuclei, then reluctantly left.
As soon as Itoji Muzi landed, she took the initiative to speak with Shao Qing: “China may be different from our island country. Our side is very chaotic, advocating strength first. People are even divided into various ranks. Superhumans are ranked the highest while regular people can only become slaves. Their days are very miserable. There is even trading of people between survivor bases. If your group wants to stay in the island country for a period of time, it is recommended to obtain a base’s household registration certificate as a pass. This way, it will be more convenient.”
She was actually very embarrassed. After all, she had done something wrong and was useless. She was worried that Shao Qing would just leave her on the coast.
She could also see that Shao Qing was actually a good person, especially for the people around her. As long as it was within her ability, Shao Qing would give her people the best.
She really wanted to follow Shao Qing, at least until Shao Qing left the island.
She was just worried that Shao Qing would not take her.
In fact, Shao Qing had a bad sense of direction and was quite willing to take her. Especially since Itoji Muzi was now very obedient. Instead of throwing out Itoji Muzi and retraining someone else, it was better to use Itoji Muzi.
Shao Qing bluntly said: “I’m going to Mount Fuji, you lead the way. If you do well, before leaving, I will give you a fortune. I can let you spend the next few years without worrying about food and clothing.”
Itoji Muzi was very happy. She thanked her over and over again.
Shao Qing continued: “You are a native and will definitely be clearer than us in all aspects. Since it is more convenient to get a pass, then you should find a base nearby for us to go.”
Itoji Muzi quickly said: “From here, we can go straight and there would be a base, but I have not been to this base …”
Seeing her a little embarrassed, Shao Qing touched her chin: “Then let’s go and see. It just so happens that we need to replenish some vegetables and fruits too.”
The five people then went to the base that Itoji Muzi pointed out. Just travelling a few steps, they saw a group of superhumans escorting a group of people away.
It didn’t matter if you didn’t look, but when you look at it, one would be quite shocked. This group of people had big pustules on their faces and bodies. Some areas were already rotting and one could even see maggots wriggling inside.
Adults, children, men and women, were driven to the beach.
Shao Qing frowned, pulling her little friends and hiding aside. Then she saw that after they drove these people to the beach, they pulled out a knife and killed them all. After killing them, they threw the bodies into the sea.
Immediately a large fish swam over and scrambled to devour the bodies.
Itoji Muzi hurriedly said: “After the end of the world, there have been several earthquakes. As a result, there has been a nuclear energy leak. Superhumans had no problem, but many ordinary people have been affected, especially those close to the source of the leak. A very strange disease was spread. Their bodies would be filled with pustules, then they would begin to rot and would even transmit it to others. So once this disease occurs, the people will be caught and then disposed of to prevent them from infecting others.”
Shao Qing frowned. She was very worried about Feng Lan. After all, he was an ordinary person. What if he was accidentally radiated?
This thing was so vague, who knows if it was really radiation?
Itoji Muzi continued: “This matter has occurred for a long time, so the radiation is slowly weakening. In fact, once this disease is born, it can be treated. It requires a high-level zombie crystal nucleus with a high-level wood power. So ordinary people simply can’t find anyone who is willing to help them. Thus death is the only solution.”
Shao Qing felt a little relieved. Suddenly she felt that China was a lot better. At least there was no radiation there, and on the surface they seemed to be a lot more fair.
Itoji Muzi led the group. While walking, she introduced the island country and soon they arrived near the base.
Shao Qing was shocked. She felt that her knowledge was too shallow. She had never heard of it. In this country, human trafficking was legal, cannibalism was allowed, human experimentation was justified, and slavery was the norm.
Killing people on the street was one of the most common occurrences.
Especially for ordinary people, once they angered a superhuman, being killed is actually the happiest end.
This country was terrible. Compared to them, China was a heaven like existence.
Just hearing about it made Shao Qing feel bad.
Although the island country was terrible, the process of entering the base was similar. Ordinary people needed to be isolated overnight to enter the base. Superhumans only needed to register to prove that they were superhumans.
Shao Qing was not prepared to be low-key, but also did not want to be too high-key. So when she filled out the registration form, she filled out as a fourth-rank wood elemental.
Yan Qiyue also filled out fourth rank. Er Dai was also the fourth rank, ‘Strength based’.
Before entering the base, Itoji Muzi pleaded for Shao Qing to put in a good word for her. This was because ordinary people, especially women like her, who looked pretty, were played with when they were isolated. To the fact that it was….. A very normal occurrence.
Although she had no choice before to sell her body in exchange for a chance to survive, which woman would like to be fooled around like this?
Moreover, Feng Lan was delicate and handsome, he was also in danger.
So before Shao Qing went in, she gave some guards at the door some crystal nuclei. Adding on to her strength, those people probably won’t do anything to Feng Lan and Itoji Muzi.
Itoji Muzi said a lot of things to Shao Qing like the rules of the island base. So the first thing Shao Qing and her friends did when they entered the base was to find a place to live. Then they waited for Feng Lan and Itoji MuZi to return.
As soon as they entered the base, they personally felt what Itoji Muzi had said. Ordinary people had lives worse than dogs.
Right when they had entered, they saw several men in uniform, dragging away a bloody corpse. Beside them, there was a proud superhuman who was wiping the blood from his hand with a handkerchief.
Those ordinary people with ragged clothes and yellowish complexion were scared. Unlike the ones in China who would watch the show, these people didn’t even dare to get close.
They were afraid that they might accidentally infuriate a ‘Da Ren’* and turn into a bloody body.
* title of respect towards superior
A big fat man not far away was pulling a young girl by a leash in his hand. Yes, he was clearly holding a dog chain in his hand, with a dog collar on the other end that was put on the girl’s neck.
The poor girl wore cotton shorts that could not get any thinner. As long as she crawled a little slower, she would receive a whip.
Her back was full of blood stains.
Was this the cruelest? No.
There was another man who had a rope harnessing a woman who wore nothing down the road. Who knew how long she had been dragged for. The woman grabbed the rope around her neck and was dying. At best, she had one breath left in her. Her body was also mutilated by the friction and chafing of the ground. One couldn’t even distinguish between the chest or the back, they could only see rotten flesh and bone.
There were many things like this. They had just entered the entrance of the base and saw so much. Not to mention the people sitting in the tent entrance who had a numb face and clothes that could not cover their bodies. All of them carried some sort of injury.
This was simply hell for ordinary people.
Shao Qing’s brows could not help but wrinkle together. Before she came to the island country, she did not have a good impression of this country, but she was not prepared to do anything more. She just wanted to quickly go to Mount Fuji to find what she needed and then leave this place.
But now, she had an urge to blow up this small island country directly.
How can there be such an existence in this world? They also experienced the end of the world, they both had superhumans and ordinary people, but China was a lot better than here.
Although there was a lot of unfairness in China, at least on the surface, it was fair. Ordinary people can at least eat, have clothes, and have a place to live without worrying about their personal well-being.
Although superhumans were higher up, they will not be happy to abuse people like this. They also had rules in China that restricted everyone.
Shao Qing took a deep breath, she suddenly wanted to kill.

Now I’m confused. Mount Fuji is in Japan, but according to the the novel, Shao Qing and family travelled south towards Jiangcheng with the zombies, and then they travelled some more until they reached the sea. Geographically, they should’ve gone to Taiwan. Previously, I read comments complaining about the author dissing Taiwan as the “island-country”. But all the story leads to Japan. Mount Fuji for starters is the more obvious clue, but the human experimentation, the radiation from nuclear plants, the samurai and the daughter of the emperor who visited them, all of this are part of Japan.
Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Japan invaded China during WW2 and conducted a lot of war crimes and human experiments on the prisoners and locals, that is why the people have deep hatred towards them, specially the military.
Plus, I believe China considers Taiwan as part of their territory so inland people should feel the same way, no? Why would they diss them to this point after the apocalypse?
I just, don’t understand.
“In fact, once this disease is born, it can be treated. It requires a high-level zombie crystal nucleus with a high-level wood power. ”
Is our dear Ah Qing going to be hunted for her crystal?
