Chapter 105 Strange Village
Gu Jincheng did not reply. Instead, he was looking out of the window intently. Su Shanshan followed his gaze and saw only a pile of rice crops. She did not notice anything unusual.
She followed behind the middle-aged man and parked the car in an empty space behind the village under his instructions. After parking the car, Su Shanshan got out of the car, opened the back door, and took out the wheelchair to let Gu Jincheng sit in it. At the same time, she avoided everyone’s gaze and put some food and water in the trunk. After all, it was too strange for the two of them not to have any food at all during the apocalypse.
When the middle-aged man saw Gu Jincheng in a wheelchair, his expression clearly did not look good. He frowned and asked, “What happened to this young man’s legs?”
Su Shanshan glanced at Gu Jincheng and suddenly sighed. “My brother has been disabled since he was young. I’ve been looking after him and trying to survive in the apocalypse, but the world is too cruel. I don’t know how long I can last.”

When she got emotional, she even pretended to wipe her tears. The women present were a little moved, and the middle-aged man stopped talking. The unnatural expression on his face was restored to its previous kindness as he consoled her, “You’re doing a good job taking care of your brother.”
It was rare to see a woman like Su Shanshan, who could maintain a clean image while looking after a disabled person in the apocalyptic era. Now that person was not sallow and thin. It was their first time seeing such good-looking people since the apocalypse began.
Su Shanshan got addicted to acting. She patted Gu Jincheng’s shoulder and continued to cry. “I’m useless as a sister. I can’t give my brother a better life.”
Gu Jincheng had been indulging her. Seeing that she was about to continue, he could not take it anymore and grabbed the hand that was patting his shoulder again. He said softly, “That’s enough!”
Seeing that he was angry, Su Shanshan smiled with her back facing the crowd. Hmph!
However, she stopped talking about it.
The middle-aged man’s expression had already stiffened when he heard Su Shanshan cry. Seeing that she had finally stopped, he quickly said, “The two of you can stay at my house tonight. Let me introduce myself. I’m the chief of this village. My name is Wang Da. You can just call me Uncle Wang.”
The middle-aged man walked forward as he spoke. His house was in the middle of the village. This village was not big, but there were many residents in it. Basically, they lived in one house after another. When the people in the village heard that outsiders had come to their village, they all came out to join the crowd.
As Su Shanshan looked at these villagers, the strangeness in her heart increased. There was no sign of Doomsday panic on these people’s faces, and they did not look like they did not have food to eat. All of them were living comfortably, and there were a few chubby children playing. This kind of situation was very normal before Doomsday, but it was rare after that
It was strange. Even if there were few zombies in this village for various reasons, what did the villagers do for food?
These people looked like ordinary people. Even a level-three superpowered man might not be able to lead such a comfortable life, let alone a group of ordinary people.
Gu Jincheng sat in the wheelchair with his head lowered, not saying a word. However, his gaze was still on the pile of rice that they had just passed.
Su Shanshan pushed the wheelchair as she followed Wang Da to his house. As soon as they entered, she saw skewers of meat hanging from the roof beams in the courtyard. They were very fresh and some were dripping blood.
Seeing that their gazes were attracted to the meat, Wang Da smiled and said, “This meat is very delicious. If you want to eat it, I’ll get my wife to get two skewers for you to fry.”
Su Shanshan looked at the meat and bones on the beam for a long time but could not tell what kind of meat it was. It did not look like pork, beef, or mutton. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt her palm itch. She lowered her head to look at Gu Jincheng. After feeling what he wrote on her palm, she nodded in agreement. She did not want to eat meat from unknown sources.
