Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 154 The End of the World (70)

The base commander cursed his wife for being so naive, but looking at his anxious wife and the increasingly gloomy face of the Zhang family head across from him, he had no choice but to sign the agreement, acknowledging that 90% of the supplies for the next ten years would belong to the Zhang family. This made the base commander's heart bleed. 90% over ten years! That's not a small amount, and it's gone just like that. It's all Pei Shu's fault! When he brings her home, he's going to give her a good beating to vent his anger!

But when he saw Pei Shu, who was skinny and extremely nervous, he had to put this idea aside, because Pei Shu now looked like a female beggar on the street. If the facial features on that skinny face were not exactly the same as the daughter in their impression, they would definitely not even look at her.

This naturally caused the Zhang family head to be questioned angrily by the base commander and Mrs. Pei, "Why is this happening?! Didn't you say you wouldn't do anything to my daughter?"

"I just promised you that I won't kill her. And didn't I tell you, the base commander, a long time ago? You have to make a decision quickly, otherwise who knows what your daughter will suffer? But she is lucky to be alive, unlike my two children." When the head of the Zhang family said this, his expression became gloomy, which made Pei Shu, who was hiding behind Madam Pei, scream and faint.

Patriarch Zhang certainly didn't kill them, but he neglected to provide them with adequate food and sleep. After all, these two were the murderers of his son, so he was lucky not to kill them impulsively. He even expected Patriarch Zhang to provide them with good food and drink. Consequently, Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao suffered from chronic malnutrition and mental disorders.

The reason for their mental abnormality was that not only did they not sleep well and were extremely nervous, but they could also hear Li Zeliang's screams every night. Uncle Zhang would even sometimes drag Li Zeliang over here for them to see, scaring them so much that they would vomit at the sight of any meat-colored food. With the two of them ending up like this, the head of the Zhang family felt satisfied that he had not killed the other party.

The base commander and Mrs. Pei didn't have time to bother each other anymore, so they quickly took their daughter to find a doctor. When the deputy base commander learned of Pei Shu's fate, he couldn't help but panic. He began to worry that his son, Zhuang Zitao, would become a frightened madman like the Pei family's daughter. This fear, coupled with his wife's pleading, forced him to bow to the head of the Zhang family.

The head of the Zhang family read out the script and made him sign the contract in the presence of the team sent by the Shuguang Base, demanding that they give him 90% of the supplies for the next ten years, and then let the other party take Zhuang Zitao back. The deputy base commander felt that the head of the Zhang family was asking for too much, and that it was too much to ask people from the Shuguang Base to be witnesses. He hated the head of the Zhang family in his heart, but he could only submit temporarily.

But Zhuang Zitao's situation was not much better than Pei Shu's. He also had some mental problems. Even though Zhuang Zitao himself realized it and wanted to cover it up in front of the deputy base commander, making the deputy base commander and others think that he had no problem, in the end people still found out that something was wrong. Even though the deputy base commander felt distressed, he had to choose to send him to the hospital in Sunshine Base for treatment.

However, Zhuang Zitao kept resisting and cursing, saying that there was nothing wrong with him. This was because he came back later than Pei Shu, so he had seen Pei Shu's end with his own eyes. He already knew how the hospital would treat Pei Shu, who had mental problems, which was to give her a strong sedative, tie the powerless Pei Shu to the bed, and give her electric shocks and drug treatment. That scene frightened Zhuang Zitao, so he had been hiding his mental problems.

The deputy base commander, however, believed that if Zhuang Zitao's mental illness continued unchecked, it would become a major problem. Even before the apocalypse, mental health issues were difficult to resolve medically, so how could they possibly improve afterward? The medical field would even be severely impacted by the apocalypse. After all, the apocalypse would have decimated medical professionals, not just those working with mental illnesses, and medical standards would naturally decline.

Therefore, Zhuang Zitao's mental illness is urgent and he must receive medical treatment as soon as possible. Even Mrs. Zhuang, who feels sorry for Zhuang Zitao, thinks so. Zhuang Zitao was sent to another hell that he thought of. Every day when he had an attack, "hell" would use electric shocks, drugs, and tranquilizers until he calmed down.

The only thing that made Zhuang Zitao feel relieved was that he was not alone in hell, and Pei Shu was by his side. Because of the special identities of the two, after all, one was the daughter of the base commander and the other was the son of the deputy base commander, which was a relatively impressive identity. Therefore, the two wards were not only next to each other, but also very close to the doctor's room, so that medical staff could arrive at the first time when the other one fell ill.

Whenever Pei Shu got sick, she would be subjected to electric shocks, sedatives, and various other drugs that made them lose their focus, just like him. This made Zhuang Zitao feel that this was also revenge. In Zhuang Zitao's mind, if Pei Shu hadn't found him, how could he have gone on such a journey with her, encountered all those things, and ended up like this? So this was all what that bitch Pei Shu deserved.

Therefore, whenever he heard Pei Shu's screams of resistance and the cries after being electrocuted next door, the listless Zhuang Zitao would laugh, and his laughter was particularly creepy. It was also because the nurse watching next to him felt that Zhuang Zitao had no offensive power that she did not go forward to feed him medicine or give him an injection again, otherwise Zhuang Zitao probably would not have been able to laugh.

After explaining the fate of these three people, Meng Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said to Yu Ziyin, "I heard that Patriarch Zhang valued his two children very much. I didn't expect him to go to such lengths for his children, even offending the base commander and deputy base commander. This is basically a mortal enemy with them."

Yu Ziyin did not feel too emotional about the fate of Li Zeliang and the other two. After all, she had learned a lot from Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng about the Zhang family's protection of their own people and the ruthlessness of the head of the Zhang family. What Li Zeliang and his companions did was to cut off the descendants of the head of the Zhang family, and they also tried to shirk responsibility and cover up the truth. This would undoubtedly anger the head of the Zhang family and the Zhang family. How could they end up well?

At the same time, Yu Ziyin couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei left early. Otherwise, who knows if Patriarch Zhang will be upset in the future and really think that it's because of your poor protection that he comes to find fault? Although you and Brother Youcheng have left, he can't find any trouble. But if Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei didn't leave early with their families and kept hanging around the Zhang family, which was protected by Patriarch Zhang, the other party would think more and more that this was the case. Who knows what this would do to Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei. So it was the right choice for the two of them to leave Sunshine Base early with their families. After all, the initiative should be in their own hands, and they can't believe the promises of others."

Meng Yu nodded in agreement, and at the same time, she was glad that she and Yang Youcheng had been following up on this matter and prevented the tragedy from happening.
