211: Chapter 211 Could this person be a fellow traveler?

Late at night, in bedroom 002.

Wang Xiulan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Lin Wanwan was already asleep, her breathing steady.

A smile played at the corners of Lin Wanwan's mouth; she was likely dreaming of something happy.

Wang Xiulan turned on her side and watched her sleeping face.

Moonlight spilled through the gap in the curtains, falling on Lin Wanwan's face and making her look exceptionally gentle.

Wang Xiulan still remembered what Lin Wanwan looked like as a child.

In the blink of an eye, she was pregnant and about to become a mother.

And what about herself?

Thirty-two years old and without even a partner.

Wang Xiulan sighed, rolled over, and turned her back to Lin Wanwan.

She closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.

But her mind was a mess, filled with everything she had seen and heard over the past few days.

The women on this RV were actually all Qin Lin's women.

So many people?

Wang Xiulan felt like her brain couldn't process it all.

She had lived for thirty-two years and seen a lot, but this kind of relationship was truly a first for her.

Back in town, if a man cheated, people would point at his back and criticize him.

But now?

Nine women, all living together harmoniously, chatting and laughing.

What had happened to the world?

No, it was the apocalypse; the world had changed long ago.

Wang Xiulan rolled over again.

The bed made a slight creaking sound.

"Auntie, you're not asleep yet?"

Lin Wanwan's voice came from behind her, raspy from just waking up.

Wang Xiulan was startled. "Did I wake you?"

"No, I'm a light sleeper to begin with."

Lin Wanwan turned on the small nightlight by the bed, casting an orange glow over them.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Wang Xiulan hesitated for a moment.

"Wanwan, let me ask you something."

"What is it?"

"On this vehicle..."

Wang Xiulan paused, not knowing how to start.

"What exactly is your relationship with Qin Lin?"

Lin Wanwan was silent for a few seconds.

"I am his woman."

Although Wang Xiulan had already guessed it, hearing her niece say it out loud still made her heart sink.

"And the other women?"

"They are also his women."

Lin Wanwan's tone was very calm, as if she were stating something perfectly normal.

Wang Xiulan's eyes widened.

"You... you don't mind?"

Lin Wanwan smiled.

"I used to mind, but later I came to terms with it."

"Came to terms with it?"

"Mhm."

Lin Wanwan placed her hand on her stomach, gently stroking it.

"Auntie, do you know what the apocalypse is like?"

Wang Xiulan didn't speak.

Lin Wanwan continued, "Out there, it's extreme cold, extreme heat, acid rain, thunderstorms, eternal night... ordinary people wouldn't last a day. Being able to live in this RV, with food and drink and a safe place to sleep, is already an immense blessing."

"But..."

"And," Lin Wanwan interrupted her, "Qin Lin is very good to every one of us."

Wang Xiulan opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Lin Wanwan looked at her aunt's expression and smiled.

"Auntie, do you think our situation is very messy?"

Wang Xiulan hesitated before nodding.

"It is a bit messy."

Lin Wanwan smiled even more broadly.

"Then let it be messy; as long as we're alive, it's fine."

Watching her niece's smiling face, a surge of complex emotions rose in Wang Xiulan's heart.

This child had truly changed.

The formerly shy, introverted Lin Wanwan, who would blush just from speaking, was now so frank when talking about such things.

"Then..." Wang Xiulan asked again, "does your mother know?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head. "No, I haven't told her."

Wang Xiulan sighed.

"True, if your mother found out, she definitely wouldn't be able to accept it."

Lin Wanwan remained silent.

She knew her mother couldn't accept it, which was why she hadn't said anything.

Some things were better left hidden.

The two were silent for a while.

Wang Xiulan suddenly asked, "Then what about Han Qing and Han Yurou?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment.

"Mhm."

"They... both with Qin Lin..."

"Mhm."

Wang Xiulan sucked in a cold breath.

"This is just too..."

Seeing her aunt's shocked expression, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh.

"Auntie, do you think we've gone crazy?"

Wang Xiulan didn't speak, but her expression said everything.

Lin Wanwan said, "Maybe, but in the apocalypse, you have to be a little crazy to survive."

Wang Xiulan was silent for a long time.

Then she asked, "Then for me, in the future..."

She didn't finish, but her meaning was clear.

Lin Wanwan looked at her.

"Auntie, do you want to hear the truth?"

Wang Xiulan nodded.

"When you boarded, Qin Lin should have scanned your information."

Lin Wanwan said, "The RV System scans every new passenger's score. Your score shouldn't be low."

Wang Xiulan was stunned.

"Score? What score?"

"The System gives a comprehensive score based on looks, figure, temperament, and ability. Those above 90 points meet the mission requirements."

Lin Wanwan paused. "Your score should have exceeded 90."

Wang Xiulan's mouth fell open.

"So... I will also have to... in the future..."

Lin Wanwan didn't answer directly.

"Auntie, do you regret boarding the vehicle?"

Wang Xiulan fell silent.

Did she regret it? She couldn't say.

While it was safe at home, she could only stay in that small building every day, unable to go anywhere.

She had long been bored to death.

Now that she was on the RV, although she still couldn't go down, she could travel everywhere with everyone.

But... if it meant sharing a man with other women...

Especially with Lin Wanwan among them.

She didn't know.

Seeing her aunt's conflicted expression, Lin Wanwan said softly:

"Auntie, you don't need to rush to a decision. Just adapt for a while and see how things go."

Wang Xiulan nodded.

"Mhm."

Lin Wanwan turned off the light.

"Go to sleep."

In the darkness, both were lost in their own thoughts.

Wang Xiulan closed her eyes, but her mind was still a mess.

The relationships on this vehicle were truly too messy.

But...

Wang Xiulan's face flushed.

She rolled over and buried her face in the pillow.

Forget it, she wouldn't think about it.

She'd just wait and see.

The next morning, Qin Lin was in the Drivers Cabin checking the System data.

[Current Passengers: 10]

[Pregnant: 7]

[Not Pregnant: 3]

[Current survival points: 11334]

[blessing points: 25]

[crystal stone: 15/50]

[Metal Materials: 13.5/30 tons]

Qin Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the data.

He was still short a lot of crystal stones and metal.

There was still quite a distance to go before the next upgrade.

Just then, the System notification sounded.

[System Detection: Female passengers meeting the scoring criteria exist within the current Safe Zone]

[body count: 3]

[Coordinates marked. Recommended to proceed for reception]

Qin Lin's eyes lit up.

More newcomers?

He pulled up the detailed data.

[Target Passenger 1: Located at E XXX, N XXX, distance approx. 15km]

[Target Passenger 2: Located at the same coordinates]

[Target Passenger 3: Located at the same coordinates]

[The building is a Medium-sized Shelter, capacity approx. 20 people]

[Current internal body count: 7 (1 male, 6 females)]

Qin Lin's heart stirred as he looked at the data.

But... 1 male and 6 females?

Why was this combination so strange?

He remembered that his own vehicle was also 1 male and multiple females.

Could this fellow be a kindred spirit?

It seemed this person also had a story.

And his strength was certainly not to be underestimated.
