Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 88 Return to the Safe Zone 1 (Wasteland)

Xu Tao lay on the thatched grass, staring blankly at the leaky wooden house, a thousand horses galloping through her mind. Having just survived the apocalypse, she was now in the wasteland again. This was unbelievable.

I took out a piece of candy and put it in my mouth, not daring to make any noise. After all, there was a wounded person sleeping on the other side. As I savored it and recalled the past, my brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly.

In this life, her mother took over her brother's family, and she and her brother did not have a good end.

She had lived with her father and brother since she was little. They had their own house in a safe zone. While not rich, at least they could fill their stomachs. Her father and brother loved her and never let her go out to collect food. Apart from wanting to find her mother, she had no worries.

One day, my father went out to look for food and was accidentally injured by a mutant animal. He died before he could even reach the hospital.

That year she was ten years old and her brother was sixteen. Without the protection of their parents, they could only eat half a full meal every day. Fortunately, they had a stable and safe place to live, so they could still survive.

Three years later, the mother whom I had never met appeared, crying bitterly and telling me about her difficult and sad life.

She doesn't love her father, but she had no choice but to agree because her family threatened her with death. However, she is unhappy every day and feels that there is no hope in her life.

She really couldn't accept her current life and wanted to go out and relax, but she accidentally fainted and hit a rock and lost her memory. She was picked up by a kind-hearted man and taken home, and they gradually fell in love.

Some time ago, she suddenly regained her memory and felt extremely guilty when she learned that she had two children. She believed that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother over the years.

The two children are now fatherless. She wants to come back and take good care of them, hoping that they can give her, a failed mother, a chance to atone for her sins.

Xu Zhu didn't believe the woman's nonsense at all. He was nine years old at that time and could already remember things. He had no memories of his mother and even felt a little disgusted with her.

My mother always has a bad temper. She will smash pots and pans when she is not happy, and she doesn't care how precious or hard to find food is.

No one dared to disobey her because she would really make the whole family restless. Her father was willing to let her go, but she herself was unwilling.

Sometimes she would pinch him secretly when his father was not around, with a fierce look on her face, and warn him not to tell anyone. At that time, he naively thought his mother was just sick, but he really couldn't accept that the woman had attacked his three-year-old sister.

How could she have the heart to put her daughter into the icy water with a smile on her face, leaving her to struggle in pain, after she had gone through ten months of hard pregnancy and birth?

Luckily, my father came home early and quickly rescued my sister from the water tank. For the first and only time, my good-tempered father lost his temper and packed up his bags to send the woman out of the house.

When he came back, his father just smiled, touched his head and told him that the three of them would live together from now on.

They all thought he didn't know, but in fact, he had been hiding behind the door that day and witnessed the entire quarrel. He was happy that his mother had left. He thought that even though everyone was unhappy, they could still be happy after separation.

And indeed, their days are better.

There was no quarreling or smashing things. The sadness on Dad's face was replaced by joy. He was also very happy. Of course, he hoped that she could find the happy life she wanted.

He firmly disagreed with why she wanted to come back with her family even though she had been away for ten years.

But Xu Tao believed it very much. She only knew that she wanted her mother, and if her brother disagreed, she would throw a tantrum and try to please him.

Unfortunately, her brother was as firm as a rock and remained unmoved. He painstakingly recounted the events of their childhood. She refused to believe him and accused him of making up stories. She went on a hunger strike in protest and eventually landed herself in the hospital. Her brother had no choice but to relent.

The woman got what she wanted and happily moved into the house with the man and four children behind her that day.

At first, she was very concerned about her brother and sister, but gradually she began to cry about the difficulties of life. She couldn't bear to see her mother so sad, so when she turned fifteen, she took the initiative to go out to collect food despite her brother's objections.

A few days ago, she accidentally entered a high-radiation area, and it was her brother who rushed to save her despite the danger.

My brother only saved up enough points two months ago to inject the advanced genetic medicine, and he needs three months to recuperate.

During this period, the body's functions are weak and exposure to high radiation is a must. As a result, in an attempt to save himself, his genes collapsed and he became unable to walk.

She had been exposed to high radiation for a long time, causing severe damage to her body functions, and her treatment would cost a large amount of points.

From then on, the woman seemed like a different person. She treated them with indifference, no longer the image of a loving mother.

After waiting for a few days and seeing that none of my brother's mercenary friends came to visit, I simply threw them into the shantytown and left them to fend for themselves, feeling extremely unlucky.

She helped her brother search for a long time, and before she was exhausted, she finally found a dilapidated, uninhabited wooden house at the very edge of the shantytown.

No matter how unwilling she was, she didn't have the strength to take the house back, and no one could support her.

She was the one who let her brother down. He had clearly established himself in the mercenary group through his own efforts and had a bright and beautiful future, but it was all ruined because of her.

With her meager resources, the food she could find was extremely scarce, and sometimes she had to eat highly radioactive plants on the street to fill her stomach.

When the cold wave came, the brother and sister froze to death in the dilapidated wooden house.

If Xu Tao hadn't been so exhausted, she would have crawled over to find that family and perished together. Zhao Yuxia could have watched coldly without earning any points, but since it was their house, why couldn't she sell it to pay for her brother's medical treatment?

Her and her brother's watches were stolen by that group of people, and it would be extremely difficult to get them back, after all, with the watches they could sell the house.

Anyone with a registered residence in the Wasteland World can receive a wristwatch upon turning thirteen. If a damaged watch is found, they can exchange it for a new one for thirty points, with a lifetime limit of three times. If you don't have an old watch and want to replace it, the points required are incredibly high: three thousand points.

The main reason is that watches require energy stones to be added, and there is a fear that some people might intentionally use the energy stones to exchange for points. Although the energy stones are ground into powder, there are always those who love to get something for nothing and are willing to spend the time to pick them out bit by bit and sell them.

To reissue the application, you need to go to the trading hall in the safe zone. It costs three points to go from the shantytown to the safe zone.

Without a watch, Xu Tao couldn't detect whether the food was edible, so he couldn't exchange it for points, forming a vicious cycle. It was obvious that he wanted them to die.

“Cough cough cough, cough cough cough…”

Xu Tao hurriedly stood up and walked over, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at him.

"Brother, you're awake now. I'm sorry I harmed you. I didn't know people well, so I deserve it..."

"Ah... Tao, don't blame yourself. Ahem... I'm fine. Just... take good care of yourself from now on. Don't... don't worry about me. I'm fine."

"Brother, what are you talking about? If you dare to do something stupid, I will die too. Let's die together. I mean what I say."
