Chapter 4: I am Guan Weijun—translated by Elkin

When I next opened ht in my mind

Jiang Shuyu isn’t just a healthy young lad He has to be an athletic champion No, maybe he is basically immortal?

By the bed, Shujun burst into tears, once again crying so hard that there wasn’t a trace of the pretty girl left Yet the only thought inShuyu? This is simply unreal!

To begin with, even though he had been in a co knocked on the head by a tile, he was able to last through the h he hadn’t had tiht a life-and-death match with the nurse, the nurse’s boyfriend, and Lin-bó, suffered ten stab wounds to the shoulder, and lasted four days with an infected wound before he finally got antibiotics

And he still isn’t dead yet?

Inwithin the span of a few days just fro infected!

Before I could even get a chance to speak to Shujun, she dashed out like a lunatic, screaē’s awake!”

What folloas pretty much identical to my first day in this world, in that a heap of people rushed in and stared at me fixedly

Jiang Shutian reached out, as though h the motion, he pulled his hand back before he actually patted uess was that he orried that if he even so er brother’s shoulder would probably shatter

I’d also just realized my hand looked like a shriveled stick, and it didn’t see I really had to take better care of this body

“Shuyu, you’ve done very well” The first thing Jiang Shutian did was praise me, but his expression i yourself too hard! You almost—”

He stopped there, unwilling to finish the sentence

I ss I wanted to say, to the point where I could literally grabbrother and little sister and burst into tears But I absolutely had to say so that totally ruined the mood

“Dàgē, I need the bathroom…”

Jiang Shutian started, and then burst into laughter “All right, Dàgē will take you there”

I balked, but just as I was about to protest, I gave up In any case, there was no way I could do my business byanyone other than Dàgē take me to the bathroom didn’t seem any better

Dàgē pickedfeelings to rise in otten this kind of treatot ic at the same time

When I was set on the toilet, I stared fixedly at Jiang Shutian He looked back at ? Didn’t you need the toilet?”

I replied honestly, “Dàgē, please leave If you’re around, I can’t go”

Jiang Shutian laughed “What do you o before?” There, he suddenly stopped, and his tone changed completely as he demanded with a furious undertone, “Don’t tell o by yourself?”

“No, she was very professional”

Although I hated the nurse’s and her boyfriend’s guts, I wasn’t shallow enough to badmouth someone as so dead that she was chow in someone else’s belly As a nurse, she really had been very professional and stuck to her job

It was just that Dàgē and the nurse weren’t the same Many people would be able to pee in front of a nurse But would you dare to pee in front of a stern, invincible general wielding a huge sword? I don’t know about you, but anyway, I couldn’t I could feel chills co from down there!

What’s eneral was really hot! I had been a woh a woh the apocalypse for ten years was little different frouy There should be a limit on how thick-skinned I had to be!

“Take your tiē sat on the ri in an unhappy tone “The way you are now, I’m worried you’ll collapse after just one visit to the bathroom!”

This worry wasn’t baseless At thelike a withered branch, so dry that even the sive up the notion of ē, why do you look so i crossed over the other?! And if you have to cross your legs, don’t do it like those azine models!

Using the shortest possible tiical needs Thankfully, it was only a pee pee If it was a poo poo, then I think I simply wouldn’t be able to do it, no matter how hard I tried…

Within five days, I absolutely had to recover to the point where I could go to the bathroom by myself Otherwise, I’d definitely becoht so out the pharmacy?

Dàgē suddenly gave a faint s about? You’ve always thought of the s, and even Shujun says your expressions arethan any storybook”

I started, once again re Shuyu

I was carried back to the bed Unable to fall asleep but unable to do anything else by s As I did, I discovered that I was in a completely new room, or at least in neither the rooh that was probably because after three of us had shoved everything against the door, the place had become a complete mess

All four walls were covered in lavender wallpaper, so this was probably Shujun’s roo on the same hospital bed, so it had probably been inal room It was true that it was much more convenient to have so on a hospital bed

At least itchicken soup much easier… but why is there still chicken soup? I racked my brains but couldn’t think of an answer There was no electricity whatsoever, so you couldn’t use a freezer Even if you had bought some chicken beforehand, wouldn’t it have rotted by now?

“They’re vacuu me as she explained with an innocent expression “When ere buying things at the superredient packs for chicken soup and chicken stock I was thinking that no matter what happened, I could at least continue to feed it to you so you could get better quicker”

I have to hand it to you, girl!

After ten years of the apocalypse, this is the first time I’ve had so much chicken soup that I’ve become scared of the stuff!

“Well done, Shujun,” Jiang Shutian ruffled Mèimei’s hair

Shujun gave a brilliant sot praised by the stern and taciturn Dàgē

“Dàgē, why’d you only get back now?” I was genuinely curious If he’d listened to o But if he hadn’t gotten on a flight back at all, he wouldn’t be here either

After the twenty-first, things like planes would still be able to take off for a short period of tiet on one of those, unless Dàgē was soht…

“Don’t stop Keep eating I’ll tell you what happened”

I nodded and frowned, letting Shujun continue to feed e

“After I proetting plane tickets so last-ht would only arrive at around six in the evening of the twentieth By then, the fog had already started for, so the plane refused to land”

Here, anger seeped into his voice as he continued, “The announce dissipated before landing I called over a flight attendant to say that the fog would only get thicker and thicker, but they refused to listen It was only at eight o’clock, when the plane was almost out of fuel, that those idiots were finally forced to land By then, the fog was so thick you couldn’t see the runway, and the plane almost crashed”

I see My heart ha

Dàgē looked at uns We couldn’t bring those onto the plane, so I only acquired the was so thick that everyone started realizing so I couldn’t find ot a hold of those things”

So it was my fault! But the antibiotics saved ood thing or bad thing—wait, if Dàgē had been home to start with, I wouldn’t have needed antibiotics in the first place!

I looked closely at Dàgē Previously, he had been in casual wear most of the ti out But now, he was dressed couns in holsters strapped to his sides and back He earing military boots and even had a knife inserted in each

A Dàgē like this could knock the brains out of the nurse using just his fist, and with a baseball bat, he’d be able to finish off the nurse’s boyfriend and Lin-bó as well He wouldn’t even need to use a gun!

I alē is un or antibiotic out there!

Dàgē handedas I was struggling to lift rease at the side of my mouth himself

He looked down atin a voice heavy with self-criticism, “It’s all because I was too careless By the ti was so thick we couldn’t see the road And worse, e touched that fog, our skin would start stinging At the ti was poisonous, and ere still in the city Noret home by car, but because we couldn’t see the road, it would probably have taken over three hours And if the fog was poisonous, ouldn’t be able to last it out until we got home”

I nodded Before thewas quite weak—it’d just sting a little

“So I headed back to think of a way to get soē said calet a hold of”

Of course Everyone had realized by that point that the fog was abnoras en tanks to themselves Therefore, it was only to be expected that no one would be willing to sell them off

“When I was in a standoff with the other party, sooods by force and started shooting, and with that, it broke out into a gunfight”

Beside ht up my nose

Shutian frowned, reē choke He can’t take any more shocks to his system”

“Sorry!” Shujun looked at e from my nose with a napkin

I hastily reassured her “No way a of a deal, and besides, that gunfight was enough to scare the wits out of me, let alone Junjun”

Jiang Shutian said discontentedly, “There’s a li she’s a sensible girl Otherwise, you’d have spoiled her rotten”

Huh? “I” spoiled Mèis rotten?

SeeingShutian hesitated, but still asked in the end, “Shuyu, you still don’t re?”

“Only a few scenes, not ether,” I replied honestly, but I wasn’t sure if those scenes hat “I” re Shuyu’s body

However, Jiang Shutian relaxed a little at that, and said in a consoling tone, “The fact that you re before you re, so don’t rush yourself”

I re, then ould that make me?

“And what happened after the gunfight?” I really didn’t want to think about that question The ht about it, the ed the subject

“I didn’t want to participate in the gunfight But I absolutely had to get a hold of the gas en tanks, so I spent more time than I wanted there”

Jiang Shutian didn’t elaborate on how he had en tanks in the end, nor did I ask As for Shujun, she probably didn’t even realize

“By the tiht”

He spoke cal there But everyone knehat followed: afterit back home

“The next , I was the first to wake up The others also woke up one by one, but there were two in the tea Shutian hesitated, then, seeing our expressions, confessed, “We killed them”

“Dàgē, how ?” I asked curiously

“Including ht”

Only two out of eight turned into aberrants—that was a really low ratio It really goes to sho strong these people are!

“Shuyu, in your dreams, how many people turned into monsters?”

“Half” I lifted ē, half of humanity turns into aberrants, and animals and plants turn, too”

This was the apocalypse not just of hus on Earth

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shutian didn’t look too shocked Then again, when I thought about it, in the past four days of his journey home—it was only a little more than an hour by car, but after the end of the world, a little h to kill a person a hundred tiers lying in wait along the way

“The roads in the city were packed with cars When the black fog fell, many people wanted to run away The roads were craave up on the car and ended up walking to the edge of the city where we looked for another car to drive On the e encountered quite a lot of… aberrants” Dàgē chose to use the same descriptor as me this time “That delayed us some more, so we came back late Sorry”

He described it like it was nothing, but both Shujun and I were stunned Three aberrants almost killed us, ere safely tucked away at hoē and his lot had been out in the open, walking along roads filled with aberrants!

Then again, Dàgē had guns, whereas I only had a baseball bat Dàgē had co, whereas I only had Mèimei, Uncle, and Auntie—I tried to reassure h I’d traveled across universes, I was still worse off than the original inhabitants of the world

“What’re you thinking about?” Dàgē ruffled ht now is rest Dàgē will take of everything, so don’t worry”

“Uncle is okay?” I suddenly reotten infected, could he?

Dàgē laughed “He’s fine Auntie’s taking care of hi much better than you are”

Hearing that, I relaxed, and chatted peacefully with Mèimei until I drifted off at some point in the conversation

During the next few days, I lived like a pig Eat, sleep, eat, sleep—I didn’t even take a single step out of Shujun’s rooht course after all—she spent every day taking care of ful look frory, thirsty, or needed the bathroom

Junjun,caretaker who doesn’t expect anything from me! If I was a man, I’d marry you for sure!

Wait, I really am a man—but your brother Disappointment…

“What are you thinking about again? Gē, what kind of expression is that!” Shujun couldn’t stop laughing

I said pitifully, “I was thinking that, because I’m your brother, I can’t make you my wife Junjun, tell me, do you think I could actually be adopted?”

Shujun rolled her eyes, re, “With your looks, especially your eyes that are alot to be my dad!”

I wailed, “No, it’s hopeless!”

“What’s hopeless?” Dàgē just happened to walk in at this point, and his expression darkened, obviously not amused by those words

I quickly explained, “I was saying s, so it’s hopeless I can’t marry her”

At that, Jiang Shutian’s expression lightened a little, and he gru up a fuss about how you want to marry your sister ever since you were little Be careful; sheable to ”

My expression changed, and Shujun quickly asked, “Èrgē, what’s thesomewhere?”

I forced a sed the subject “I’m fine It’s just, can I leave the room for a stroll? It’s been really dull cooped up in this room”

Dàgē wavered for a azes of Shujun and ht, but you need to sit in the wheelchair Here, I’ll carry you over”

I nodded obediently, letting Dàgē carry me to the wheelchair and push me out of the room

Guan Weijun, Jiang Shuyu—these two people were sharing more and more similarities As to what the truth was, I didn’t dare to think about it

In the living roo one as reading That was so

If he is a secretary, then I aain that I am a man

The other three were unfa Yunqian wasn’t anywhere to be seen

But they all had one thing in coear and aruns and knives

I quietly asked, “Dàgē, you don’t run a design company, do you?”

Jiang Shutian paused for a , “No, I run a mercenary troop for hire” He stopped, then added, “You knew that, originally That lie was only for Shujun, Uncle, and Auntie”

This

“Sitting on the arirl’s Lily” Jiang Shutian said a little aardly, “You’ve seen them in the past”

Of the four, Xiao Sha looked to be the youngest, possibly only in his early twenties But he couldn’t be that young Those eyes of his were too old for that He was quite a cold guy When Dàgē introduced hi

The blond Cain was a foreigner and seemed much more expressive When it was his turn for introductions, he didn’t just wave but even shtly Those white teeth of his alner

The girl’s Lily… This is a little aē’s Chinese

The wohter type—bronzed skin over toned muscle—and she even had pronounced biceps on her arms She looked much sturdier that I did, who had evolved fro to a thin stick Even so, she didn’t look excessively muscular, just very fit and sensual

“Well, you look like you’ve finally gotten a little more flesh on those bones of yours” Cain walked over and pinched h better than when I first saw you You looked like a mummy at the time, and that almost drove Boss nuts”

“What do youShutian snapped, “My brother’s alive and well!”

Lily interjected froht, just a few ain Reive you a smooch then!”

I was a little surprised This Lily was obviously speaking up to ss over I didn’t expect someone who looked like a warrior queen to have such an unqueenly character

“Then can I choose to give Junjun a few kisses?” Cain said with a grin

“No!” I exclaimed

“Sis-con,” harrumphed Xiao Sha to the side

Why does that feel like a stab to my chest? I’m no sis-con I like men—wait! Doesn’t it seem worse to like men now?

Holy shi+t! The whole sexual orientation thing finally struck me Previously, I was so preoccupied with the apocalypse and how to survive, that things like sexual orientation took the back seat Getting fed and staying warhts!

But now I had Dàgē, no worries about my health, a whole basement full of supplies, and no need to fret about shelter So I had leisure for the whole issue about my sexual preferences to hit me

Even though I have a man’s body, I have the soul of a woman Just what kind of partner aay? And with my womanly tendencies, I’d probably end up on the bottom…

No! Absolutely not! I’d seen tooof the apocalypse, woe for supplies in order to survive It was so hu you’d almost rather die

Now that I’ve finally gotten a chance to start over, no one is going to top irl!

Mindat me

The big brother looked dismayed

The little sister was stifling her laughter as she said, “Èrgē, you’re daydreaain”

I flushed red, spinning my wheelchair so my back was to everyone, and blurted the first excuse that came to mind “Ineedabath, bye”

“Are you planning to bathe or kill yourself?” Dàgē asked, disgruntled “Even standing up is difficult for you,I’ll help you wash up, and besides, I need a shower too I s more supplies outside”

“I was just looking for an excuse to escape” I had no choice but to confess, “I don’t need a bath And besides, water’s very precious no can I use it for a bath?”

Dàgē said blandly, “Don’t worry, just don’t waste too much There are quite a feater tanks close by, while there aren’t many of us”

I suddenly remembered that this was the suburbs Almost all the places around here were standalone houses, many of which had water tanks on their roofs However, you just had to have one aberrant in the household, and the likelihood was slim that anyone would survive

Although there was lots of looting and robberies after the apocalypse, most of the households in the suburbs were families, so you only needed one death to wipe out the entire family, which left very few survivors As for the people in the cities, they were pretty ē who could make their way out of the city Besides, there were many more supplies in the city, so it wasn’t likely that anyone would prefer to target the suburbs
