Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 77 - 0 What Can Save a Person’s Life

Chapter 77 -077 What Can Save a Person’s Life

Just as Su Shu was worrying about how to avoid being noticed, a voice suddenly awakened the somber crowd.

“Excuse me, I have an idea, but I’m not sure if it will work?”

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice, only to see an elder, aged around sixty, slowly beginning to speak by the bonfire.

Peng San, who was lying nearby, said, “If you have a solution, speak up quickly.”

The man nodded, “Peng San, as an elder of the village, this idea just came to me. It’s up to you to decide if we can use it, but once I’ve spoken, please don’t be angry.”

Peng San’s eyebrows furrowed as he snapped, “What time is this? Saving lives is urgent. Just say what you have in mind, don’t delay the rescue.” He paused, then added, “Saving even one life is worth it.”

...

Yes, saving even one life is better than losing one.

“Alright, since you’ve said so, I’m not afraid of disrespecting our ancestors now.”

“Speak quickly.” Peng San seemed to guess something, his face turning slightly pale.

Su Shu overheard that there was a way to save someone, and her attention was immediately caught.

The elder thought for a moment and then said, “There’s a treasure in Peng Mountain, which, if found, might save Shuanzi’s wife. But our ancestors forbid the descendants from harvesting it. Didn’t many in the village recently dream of their deceased relatives?”

With these words, many faces showed a sudden change in expression; only then did everyone feel there was something odd about the dreams they had recently.

Some remembered the content of their dreams, the words their ancestors had said, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Peng San after hearing this, fell silent.

He knew what the man meant. Not just him, many people from Peng Village, except for Su Shu and the children unaware of the context, seemed to instantly grasp the proposed method of saving lives.

Su Shu, confused, looked towards the village doctor who had also become silent.

Su Shu asked, “What is it that can save lives?”

The elder, having said his piece, fell silent. Everyone knew what was going on; saying more was pointless.

Peng San remained silent for a long time, as if making a significant decision, then said, “Even if that thing could save her life, it’s too dangerous to search in the mountain woods during the night.”

Everyone fell silent as well. Indeed, walking in the mountain woods at night was too dangerous. Who would go now, and who would dare to?

Moreover, the treasure was deep within Peng Mountain, elusive as a shadow; even if one dared to enter and search, they might not have the fortune to find it. And even if found, then what? Such a precious life-saving herb, should it be used for Shuanzi’s wife?

Su Shu stood in front of the car, observing the varying expressions of everyone, her brows slightly furrowed.

She clearly saw disdain and weariness on some faces, and… many reluctant expressions.

Though she didn’t know how precious the medicinal herb mentioned by the people of Peng Village was, she could tell that for them, something so valuable was not something many were willing to use on an ordinary woman.

In other words, the life of Shuanzi’s wife, who was unconscious in her car, in the eyes of most, was worth less than the perhaps non-existent medicinal herb.

Gradually, Su Shu’s heart, which had briefly let down its guard, started to withdraw, rebuilding a faint wall of stone.

Rather watch someone slowly die than use something that could save them, she didn’t want to judge whether they were right or wrong, she just felt, although the Apocalypse had not yet truly arrived, this night she already felt a chill.
