80: Chapter 8 Grandpa Huo

Ye Qingqing immediately realized this was the same Warship from before.

However, the Warship itself was not visible now.

Only the traces it left behind remained.

Ye Qingqing's eyes sharpened as she pondered how to get ashore.

There were many zombies; if she and Ah Huang went ashore directly, they would surely become targets of a zombie siege.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang wouldn't last long before being killed by these zombies.

Furthermore, Ye Qingqing had no idea what the current combat capabilities of these zombies were.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Qingqing dared not act rashly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after coming ashore, Huo Sixian had shut himself in his room for a long time.

Even Huo Sixian's grandfather had come to ask about him several times.

Huo Sixian refused to come out.

Huo Sixian's grandfather was named Huo Cunsheng, an old man of considerable status in the Capital City.

In the Army, he held the rank of marshal, though he had stepped back to the rear lines in recent years.

But after the arrival of the Post-Apocalyptic World, Huo Cunsheng received orders from above, forcing the old man back into action despite his age.

This old man, who had been formidable all his life, still had his greatest worry rooted in his own son and grandson.

Huo Sixian's father and mother had passed away early.

It could be said that from a very young age, Huo Sixian had lived with Huo Cunsheng.

Back then, the old man was still relatively young, his mind completely focused on the Army, with little time to spare for Huo Sixian.

Even when they spent time together, it was mostly within the military compound.

It wasn't until Huo Sixian grew up and left on his own that Huo Cunsheng realized how wrong he had been all along.

Just when he wanted to make amends to Huo Sixian, the Post-Apocalyptic World arrived.

The entire southern region of Huaguo had lost contact.

Worried sick about Huo Sixian, Huo Cunsheng's hair turned half white overnight.

Now, having finally managed to get Huo Sixian back, he was faced with this situation.

Huo Cunsheng pulled aside Kong Ziyi, one of Huo Sixian's sworn brothers, and questioned him relentlessly.

Huo Cunsheng was aware of these brothers of Huo Sixian; each of them was tight-lipped as could be.

Only Kong Ziyi's mouth was slightly looser.

After Huo Cunsheng's persistent badgering and finally learning the full story, he was furious.

He had never much liked Xu Yousheng's conduct, but because his own son had taken a liking to Xu Yousheng when Huo Sixian was very young,

He had arranged a marriage engagement between Huo Sixian and Xu Xueke.

So Huo Cunsheng had simply turned a blind eye.

But who could have imagined such a thing would happen now?

After this Post-Apocalyptic World began, Huo Cunsheng had come to understand many things.

He felt that in this one life, one should live as happily as possible.

At his age, he had only just grasped this truth. Feeling it was late, he was also somewhat relieved that his grandson was still young.

Now he learned that the granddaughter-in-law he thought was secured had been forced to jump into the water by that Xu Xueke before even reaching shore.

Huo Cunsheng gritted his teeth in anger.

Even his expression turned displeased whenever he saw Xu Yousheng.

If it weren't for the severe manpower shortage in this Post-Apocalyptic World, Huo Cunsheng would have truly wanted to get rid of this Xu Yousheng.

Relying on his not-insignificant rank as a commander, he threw his weight around in the Army all day, spoiling that Xu Xueke rotten in the process.

What kind of place is the Army? Is it a place for Xu Xueke to recruit personal bodyguards?

When Huo Cunsheng heard that soldiers under his command had gone to serve as Xu Xueke's personal bodyguards, he was livid.

He directly ordered Xu Yousheng to run two laps around the training field with a heavy load in the pouring rain.

For someone of Xu Yousheng's position, other punishments were merely slaps on the wrist.

But stripping him of his dignity was the real punishment.

When Xu Xueke saw her father, at his advanced age, running laps in the rain, she cried and pleaded with Huo Cunsheng for a long time.

But having heard Kong Ziyi's account, Huo Cunsheng had already developed a deep dissatisfaction with this Xu Xueke.

Huo Cunsheng had met Xu Xueke before.

But back then, Huo Cunsheng viewed Xu Xueke through rose-tinted glasses, finding everything about her wonderful.

Now, Huo Cunsheng had changed.

Even when Xu Xueke knelt outside Huo Cunsheng's office, he only had someone take her away.

He paid no heed to her repeated cries of "Grandpa Huo!"

Huo Cunsheng's heart was now filled only with thoughts of his yet-unmet granddaughter-in-law, Ye Qingqing!

Of course, Ye Qingqing knew nothing of all this, because at this moment,

Her mind and heart were occupied with only one thought: how to get ashore.

Ye Qingqing first took Ah Huang and the inflatable boat into her space.

There was still plenty of time remaining inside the space.

So Ye Qingqing planned to get prepared inside the space before leaving.

Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang got off the inflatable boat. She racked her brains for a long time, thinking about how to break out from this water.

Her ultimate target fell upon that helicopter.

But there was a problem: Ye Qingqing didn't know how to fly a helicopter.

Ye Qingqing looked at this helicopter. If she could learn how to pilot it in a short time,

Breaking out of this zombie-surrounded area might just be possible.

Ye Qingqing left Ah Huang in the open area.

Then she rushed into the house.

After searching around, she finally found some pre-apocalyptic materials.

She took out a tablet, scrolled through it for a long time, and finally found an instructional video on helicopter piloting.

Ye Qingqing took the tablet and went back to the open area outside the house.

She began to experiment, following the demonstrations in the video.

Ah Huang followed Ye Qingqing onto the helicopter.

Ah Huang also watched the helicopter tutorial video alongside Ye Qingqing.

Occasionally, when Ye Qingqing couldn't understand a control panel, Ah Huang would even point it out for her.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Ah Huang was becoming almost excessively clever, even threatening to outshine Ye Qingqing herself.

Ye Qingqing even began to suspect that Ah Huang might eventually start speaking human language.

But Ye Qingqing just thought about it. If Ah Huang really could speak later...

Given Ah Huang's level of chatter, Ye Qingqing felt she would definitely be driven crazy.

After familiarizing herself with the helicopter, Ye Qingqing finally gathered her courage and pulled the control stick.

Just as taught in the video, the helicopter slowly rose into the air.

However, it was Ye Qingqing's first time flying, and without an instructor beside her, mistakes were inevitable.

Like right now... Ye Qingqing felt the helicopter was about to go out of control.

But Ye Qingqing didn't panic at all. She took Ah Huang and directly exited the space, even summoning an inflatable boat the instant they emerged.

Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang landed steadily on the inflatable boat.

Simultaneously, Ye Qingqing used her mental focus to control the helicopter inside her space.

Making that helicopter stop.
