Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Woke Up (2)

Bai Zhan took the glass of water and sipped on the warm liquid. He sighed and said to Tong Huan, "I don’t want to worry either. Yueyue told me that Han’er and Que’er are really strong-willed, much stronger-willed than I could ever be. But I am still their father, aren’t I? How can I not be worried when they are sick? Even if they are getting stronger, I still fear for their lives."

His eyes turned red and he furiously wiped them with his arm before saying to Tong Huan, "It’s all because of me. Their useless father, that they had to go through so much pain and suffering. If I were as strong as Lei Qian, then they would be safe without awakening. But it’s I who cannot keep them safe."

When Tong Huan heard his response, she sighed. She understood what Bai Zhan was feeling at the moment because she felt the same when her family was killed by those thugs. If she had been strong enough to fend them off, then her adoptive parents and siblings would have been fine.

But she was weak, so weak that she passed out and couldn’t even do anything as the thugs killed her family.

She reached out and patted Bai Zhan on the shoulders before saying to him, "It’s alright. I know you feel like you have let your sons down, but like Sister Meiyue said, there is no point in fretting over something that has already happened; you should try to get stronger if you think you are not strong enough."

After speaking, she smiled wryly and added, "At least you have awakened, Brother Zhan. There are people out there who haven’t even gotten a good grasp of how to awaken. Or maybe they are never going to awaken because they don’t have the talent for it. You don’t have to be so pessimistic all the time; at least look at the good things that are in front of you."

Tong Huan took the empty glass from Bai Zhan and then walked out of the room. She hoped that Bai Zhan would be able to see through things now.

Inside the room, Bai Zhan clenched his fists on his knees. Tong Huan’s words repeated again and again in his head, and he looked down at his hands. Tong Huan was right; as long as he tried harder, he would get stronger. At least it was better than sitting still.

"Umm.."

A childish voice snapped Bai Zhan out of his thoughts. He raised his head and looked at his two sons, who one by one, scrunched up their faces and then opened their eyes.

"Han’er!"

"Que’er!"

Bai Zhan called the two boys lovingly when he saw that they had opened their eyes. He stared at them, waiting for them to focus their gazes and look at him.

That was to say, she started killing humans because she felt like she was living a life too restrictive, all because humans were weak. Her mentality was so twisted that she thought it was better to kill humans so that she could live with ease.

In the end, she was caught and killed by Lei Qian, who was in the area where the base of that girl was located.

Bai Meiyue couldn’t help but sigh when she thought about how this tragedy could have been avoided if only the mother of that little girl had listened to their advice. Then the girl’s powers wouldn’t have gone out of control, and she wouldn’t have grown up with an abusive father who blamed her for killing his wife, whom he loved so much.

It was a lesson. A hard one, and Bai Meiyue was not going to forget it.

Bai Zhan frowned when he heard Bai Meiyue’s words. He then hesitated and asked, "Then what do you suggest?"

"We need to let them try their powers on something else—other than you, Brother Zhan."
