Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 465: Chapter 295: Homecoming_3

The small screen lit up.

The ”ding-dong” sound was like a heavenly melody, instantly making Jiang Rong’s heart tense up.

...

The room was spotlessly clean.

As if someone had cleaned it.

Everything was there.

But the person she most wanted to see was not.

Jiang Rong sat on the familiar bed, staring blankly at the wedding photo on the headboard.

The man in the photo had a cheerful smile, while she pursed her lips, her face tense.

She regretted not smiling more back then.

Now...

’They must have walked out on their own.’

After telling herself this, Jiang Rong felt much better.

As long as they were still alive, there was a chance.

She put down her backpack and started cleaning the house as she had done countless times before.

Sweeping, mopping, changing bed sheets and covers, washing clothes and curtains...

Being busy had this one benefit.

You forget everything else.

...

Downstairs, Li Xinlong looked at the zombie at the street corner with a slight frown.

Because the unease in his heart was too strong, he didn’t continue to Zhijin but changed direction midway, planning to go home first and return at dawn tomorrow.

As a result, he saw this scene when he arrived.

”Ah Long, what’s up?”

A chubby figure came up to the SUV, knocking on the window and asked.

Li Xinlong shook his head, ”Something’s up, get the Five Tigers ready, be careful.”

Besides him, the convoy had five strong men, all Tier One Evolvers, known as the Black Star Five Tigers.

He waved, carefully leading dozens of his men towards the house.

Seeing the jumper in the yard, Li Xinlong’s heart became even gloomier.

The group raised their rifles and headed upstairs.

Seeing that a few apartment locks showed no signs of tampering, a hint of doubt arose in Li Xinlong’s heart.

He exchanged a glance with the chubby man behind him, then placed his hand on the doorknob.

”Ding-dong”

The chubby man squeezed through quickly with agility that belied his size.

A man with a cold, hard face followed closely behind.

At this moment, Li Xinlong felt it was about time and entered.

Upon entering, before his eyes adjusted to the darkness inside, he felt a cold, hard object pressed against his head.

A surging current spread through his body instantly, nearly making his eyes roll back.

”Don’t move!”

Li Xinlong opened his hands as the brothers behind him trying to push forward bumped into him.

”Master Rong!”

”Don’t move, don’t move, nobody move!”

Feeling the gun muzzle tight against his forehead, Li Xinlong was terrified to death.

Perhaps seeing his good behavior, the person in front of him hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

”Throw the gun away, turn on the light.”

Li Xinlong felt the voice peculiar and familiar, compliantly doing as told.

”Click.”

Soft lighting illuminated the living room.

Li Xinlong then saw his good brothers and subordinates already lying on the ground twitching, while the chubby man was winking at him as he twitched.

He instantly understood what was going on, discreetly looking forward.

The one facing him was a woman holding an assault rifle.

Li Xinlong was somewhat confused.

Where did a woman come from in his house... woman??!

Li Xinlong’s eyes searched the woman’s face for familiar features, eyebrows, nose, lips...

Every part was familiar!

But combined together, he dared not call out for fear.

The reason was simply that the woman before him was too young.

His mom was clearly a forty-year-old middle-aged woman ravaged by life and full of worries, while the woman before him could pass for someone just over twenty, not to mention thirty, though the calmness in her eyes was not like one in their early twenties.

But this calmness was quickly broken by a complex wave of emotion.

”Long Long?”

Li Xinlong trembled upon hearing this familiar address and voice.

”...Mom?”

Hearing this address, the chubby man’s fierce expression cleared instantly.

He craned his neck incredulously at his good brother.

All for survival, even abandoning face?

But Li Xinlong had no time to care about him now, all his attention focused on the familiar yet unfamiliar woman before him.
