Chapter 1420: Chapter 831: Nuclear Power Station Collapse!

The man looked at his watch; it was already eleven-thirty at night.

The oxygen in the bunker was enough for them to use for ten hours.

As time passed, they gradually felt their breathing becoming difficult.

Forget it, let’s handle the urgent matters first.

He looked at his wife, then at his parents.

His wife’s face showed no emotion, she just kept her head down.

Yet, under the table, she secretly tugged at her husband’s sleeve.

The man felt his wife’s tug, understanding that this was urging him.

A sigh within his heart.

According to the discussion with his wife in the room, his wife’s suggestion was for his father to risk going out to clear the vent outside.

But the man was reluctant, after all, it was his own father.

His wife tearfully expressed, what would happen to this family without him?

What if, like last time, strangers came and discovered their bunker, then what would they do?

What about the children?

The man was torn, one hand was the children, the other was his parents.

"You go, you go, if you dare to go out, I will die and show you." The middle-aged beauty cried and shouted while tugging at her husband’s clothes.

The man showed a look of impatience.

"They are my parents, how could I be so unfilial? Only I can go."

"If you go, I will commit suicide to show you."

"You... madman!"

The man’s lips trembled as he pointed and scolded his wife.

Finally, under his wife’s threat, he compromised in the end.

Actually, his compromise was also a kind of compromise with his inner self.

Deep down, he feared death too; for someone like him, his parents were old, but he himself was still somewhat young.

Such ventures should be undertaken by parents.

From the perspective of humanity’s future, letting the elderly take the risk seems reasonable, but it lacks compassion and violates morality.

Moreover, he still had heavy burdens.

The human heart, sometimes, is just so selfish.

For the sake of survival, to be able to live.

At the expense of putting parents at risk.

An agreement was reached, which was to find all possible ways to achieve the goal.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Alright, I agree with you. But how do I bring this up!"

In the dim light, his wife’s face was in darkness, but her eyes had a gleam, like a fox.

"Such matters are definitely not good to say directly."

"Let me put it all out there, later you do this, you start by saying you want to go."

"What?" The man was puzzled, wasn’t his wife just stopping him from going out? Why would she want him to take the initiative and say he wants to go out.

"Fool, you saying you want to go out is just a lead, to force them, force them to voluntarily go out and clear the vent.

You are their son; can they really watch you go to your death when there’s such a big typhoon outside, and even zombies flying everywhere?

The man frowned, unsure if his parents had such great affection for him.

"What if they’re indifferent?" the man asked.

With such a sentence, it instantly revealed his fear of death.

The middle-aged beauty’s mouth showed slight sarcasm, but she did not directly expose it.

After all, exposing it wouldn’t benefit her, and she always refrained from doing things that offered her no benefit.

In the entire bunker, she was the only outsider, the two old ones leaving would be the best, they were just wasting food.

The wife patiently said, "And me, I will stop you, I will talk about Da Juanjuan and Lele, they won’t have a father, if you go, I will also die.

This is the second pressure point. When the time comes, coordinate with me, don’t really run out stupidly.

At that time, with the atmosphere built up, the two of us can join two kids crying and I don’t believe that your parents won’t feel guilty and won’t take the initiative to go?"

Upon hearing this, the man was delighted.

Good idea.

Brilliant!

Consecutive pressures.

But still, it seemed risky, so he adjusted his expression and said to his wife: "If they still remain indifferent?"

The beauty was stunned, and after a few seconds, she said, "No matter what, you just don’t go, I’ll pull you, at that time just stop the meeting.

Then I’ll work on Lele and Juanjuan, let the kids persuade your parents to go out and clear the vent. This is the third plan."

Immediately, she continued, "If none of these three methods work, then we go hard! That’s inevitable then."

The man was silent for a long time.

Silently nodded his head.

In the dim light, his shadow looked like a dog.

But, at their door, they didn’t notice that there was someone crouching by the door listening.

.....

Meanwhile.

In another room, the elderly couple.

The grey-haired old man, eyes flickering, spoke to his old partner beside him:

"Old woman, later I’ll go, son and daughter-in-law still have to care for Lele and Juanjuan."

The similarly grey-haired partner, her eyes red, hand slightly trembling.

With countless words in her heart, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Seeing his partner’s trembling hand, the old man gently grasped her hand.

With a smile on his face, as if nothing was a big deal.

The old woman looked at the once-handsome man before her, now full of age spots, hair completely white, but still able to see the appearance when she first met him in his brows and eyes.

In her lifetime, she accompanied the man before her, through a life full of hardships, and finally awaited the man’s rise.
