Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
Awuh was truly stunned.
She said in disbelief, "If you wanted me to go to the Divine Tree, why did you have me come to the base first? Why did you arrange for me to stay in this apartment?"
"To let you know that I was telling the truth." Chu Xin sighed, "If I had told you directly that you couldn't participate in the mission to save your brother and had to find the Divine Fruit first, would you have believed me?"
Awuh did not answer.
She wouldn't have.
Chu Xin explained, "We did meet, but that was before you were five years old. Your parents were my sponsors, and I went to see them."
Long before the apocalypse, Awuh's parents had passed away.
At the time, her brother was 18, and Awuh was only 10. The apocalypse arrived a year after their parents died.
Her brother was only 19 then, not even finished with university, yet he managed to keep Awuh alive through the apocalypse.
If it hadn't been for her brother's special trait being exposed, drawing the greed of others, Awuh and her brother might have lived a decent life in the apocalypse.
Chu Xin was 32 this year. She was 19 when she went to thank Awuh's parents—the same age as Awuh's brother when the apocalypse hit, and the age she entered university.
In fact, Chu Xin had attended the funeral of Awuh's parents once, but Awuh had been so traumatized by their death that while Chu Xin had seen her, Awuh hadn't noticed her.
After Awuh's parents died, Chu Xin had actually sent money to the siblings every month.
It wasn't much, just three thousand, enough for Awuh and her brother to cover their daily expenses.
