Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse-Chapter 71: The Realization

"Okay big brother, I understand." Lu Tao replied with a serious look that didn’t match his age.

From his expression, Lu Zhen realized that he had indeed realized the severity of the issue and would not tell another soul about it.

He didn’t want Leng Pan to get into trouble or be in danger because of his brother. That would put him in a difficult situation and also break his heart.

"Go back and take a shower before breakfast. Your sister-in-law and I will be there soon." Lu Zhen then urged Lu Tao to leave.

Their morning workout had been interrupted and couldn’t continue. So, there was no need to waste any more time. It was better to go have breakfast earlier then he could come back to practice his ability.

He had made progress, and even though Leng Pan hadn’t talked about her practice, from her happy mood yesterday, he could tell she had also progressed.

He was aware that things were a bit different from what Leng Pan had described before. After all, the apocalypse was supposed to start with heavy rain but ended up starting with meteorites.

Therefore, even though the information from their previous life was still useful, it couldn’t be relied upon. They had to be ready to respond to any situation.

Thus, enhancing his ability was essential.

Lu Tao didn’t argue and left the gym, his head full of thoughts. Even after the last time Lu Zhen had told him that there was no hope of things going back to normal, he still harboured some hope that his brother was just too paranoid.

He practiced diligently because he thought that once the government found a cure for the zombie virus and people could live their lives again, he could go back to City Y and show off to his friends.

Having a superpower was so cool, who wouldn’t be happy to have one and show off?

But now, he realized that thinking like that was just lying to himself and such a mentality could cause serious consequences for his family.

If he took everything as a joke and ended up revealing something that shouldn’t be known to outsiders, his family could be killed.

He didn’t want to imagine something like that happening. Especially, him being the cause of it all. Talking to his brother had left him with a heavy heart.

Even though he hadn’t seen people being hunted for something they possessed and killed, he had at least watched movies.

He knew how they always end up. They wind up dead and have their family take revenge for them. But he didn’t even have the ability to protect himself let alone take revenge for someone.

Moreover, he would rather be a little brother and let his older brother protect him than have him dead. So, before walking out of the apartment, he swore to keep whatever he knew a secret that would follow him to his grave.

Lu Zhen looked at his brother as he walked away and knew that he had taken his words to heart. Going by the serious look in his eyes, he was sure that Lu Tao would not tell anyone what he knew.

He had actually been a little worried because considering his young age, he had not expected him to understand the seriousness of the issue

But now, it looked like his worries were for nothing. The boy was quite perceptive. He could also tell that he took the apocalypse with more seriousness than before.

Even though he and Leng Pan had emphasized about the reality of the apocalypse and how serious it was, he could tell that his family still had the wait-and-see attitude.

That’s why he had not even considered telling them about the spiritual spring water or the space filled with supplies that Leng Pan owned. Even if Leng Pan wanted to tell them, he would be the first to disagree.

Even though they were his closest family members, he didn’t dare to gamble on Leng Pan’s safety. Therefore, he could only keep the secret to himself and protect his wife.

Maybe one day they could be told. Once it had sunk deep enough that the apocalypse was real and it was here to stay. freёwebnoѵel.com

Once they witnessed with their own eyes a human being kill and eat another because there was no food anymore. Once they see a son cut his own mother to drink her blood due to thirst.

Then maybe at that time, letting them know about the space and supplies might compel them to protect the secret with their lives.

After all, without those supplies, they would join the ranks of those dying of thirst and starvation.

However, for the time being, he would also protect that secret with his life and ensure that nobody else finds out about it.

Lu Tao was convinced so easily because he was young and had also watched some zombie apocalypse movies. With the over imaginative brain of a young boy, it wasn’t difficult to make him believe in the apocalypse.

He had seen something unusual. Even though superpowers had been reported on television and he knew that many people had awakened, it appeared normal because many people were involved.

But the issue of spiritual spring water was an exception. It appeared that only his brother and sister-in-law had it, thus, it proved that something extraordinary was happening.

His teenage brain had already associated such circumstances with a hero saving the world and how the hero’s whereabouts and possessions must be kept a secret.

Lu Zhen was confident that with such imagination, his brother will definitely take the apocalypse seriously and stay on guard, as well as train harder.

Lu Zhen also walked out the door and headed towards the master bedroom to take a shower. He was hoping that Leng Pan hadn’t finished her shower so that he could join her for a quick session of giving her love.

He just couldn’t get enough of that woman. She was like a drug and he was so addicted that no amount of therapy could save him.
