Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 46: Chapter 046: Midnight Dream – Group Captain Tang Gets Possessed

Peng Grandpa: “Caution is the parent of safety.”

“Yes, okay.” Tang Zelin obediently agreed.

“Originally, this hunter Zhang wasn’t planning to go into the mountain, but today he suddenly agreed to lead the team there. It is said that he noticed the wildlife in the mountain has recently increased. He thought about it a lot and couldn’t figure out why. He figured since there’s more game, it would be good to go hunt some; otherwise, if things in the mountains became too excessive, it wouldn’t be good,” Peng Grandpa said as he walked.

Tang Zelin said, “Grandpa, I see you’ve been preoccupied. Are you worried that something’s not right in the mountains?”

“Ah…” Peng Grandpa sighed, “I can’t really say. The times are too peaceful, who would complain that the days are too good, but when things go too smoothly, it always makes one feel uneasy.”

He straightened his back and looked at the distant rice fields, saying, “Maybe it’s because I’m old, and I’ve become less courageous, not like you young ones who dare to take risks.”

...

“Grandpa, you shouldn’t say that. You’re in your eighties and still able to chop wood every day. Truly, that’s growing old with vigor.”

“Forget it, you monkey are just trying to cheer up this old man.”

Tang Zelin laughed heartily, and the grandfather and grandson strolled around Peng Village for a bit before returning home to sleep.

That night, Yuan Xiao slept soundly, snoring like thunder. Tang Zelin was woken up by his snoring in the middle of the night, and, having no choice, he put on his clothes and went outside to cool off.

The bright moon was in the sky, the stars twinkled, the lights in the village were out, and it was silent, with just an occasional bark of a dog that wasn’t disturbing.

He turned to gaze at the mountains behind him. The lush woods from the daytime were now a dark mass. A cool breeze passed, and the sound of rustling leaves filled the air.

The silent mountain, the tranquil village, the air filled with a faint smell of earth and a slight fragrance of grass and trees—all of it gradually calmed Tang Zelin’s mind.

Standing on the boundary between ancient tradition and modern civilization in Peng Village, there was an indescribable beauty.

Suddenly… A familiar voice sounded from behind.

“Tang Captain, you better leave.”

Tang Zelin was suddenly startled, turning around only to see a familiar face behind him, Peng Xiaojun.

Still in the familiar olive green, the same honest face, Peng Xiaojun had just suddenly appeared before him, and Tang Zelin was momentarily frozen.

“Peng Xiaojun?” @@novelbin@@

“Tang Captain, leave quickly!”

Tang Zelin snapped back to reality, emotional, he took two big steps forward, but Peng Xiaojun stepped back.

“Tang Captain, you better leave!”

“Peng Xiaojun! You come here!” Tang Zelin shouted loudly; he still had a lot to talk to him about.

When Peng Xiaojun finally disappeared, he shouted loudly, “Tang Captain, leave quickly!”

“Peng Xiaojun!!!”

With a loud shout, Tang Zelin suddenly sat up in bed, and when he regained his senses, he realized it had all been a dream.

Just lifting his head, he saw a pair of dark eyes staring back at him.

Yuan Xiao, wearing only a shirt and pants, was squatting on the kang, hugging his legs and staring at him, “Boss, are you possessed or something?”

Tang Zelin threw a pillow at him, Damn it, you’re the one who’s possessed!

Yuan Xiao moved closer, sat cross-legged next to him, and casually pulled up the lamp by the wall, curiously asking, “Boss, do you know the nonsense you were spouting in your dream?”

Tang Zelin took out a cigarette from the pocket next to him and lit it.

“Like what.”

Yuan Xiao blinked his big eyes and pursed his lips, saying, “You promised us two hot chicks.”

“Get lost!” Tang Zelin cursed.

“Hehe, actually no, you were yelling for Peng Xiaojun the whole time in your dream, brother, are you like the people in this village, cursed in your dreams?”
