Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Recollecting the Past (4)
(A/N: Chapter dedicated to ChibiWolf)

When Nanzhi regained consciousness, she was shocked to find the bloodied and badly beaten Lin Weihao.

She was unable to recognize him at all if not for his voice.

“For you.” Lin Weihao opened his palm and showed her a fist-sized green spar.

Lin Weihao thought that she would be happy if he showed her the spar of the Tier 5 alien beast that had harm her but he received another scolding instead.

“Are you crazy? You’re just a Tier 2! How dare you challenge a Tier 5? Do you want to die?”

He tried to smile but the smile came out very ugly.

Lin Weihao was asking his self too.

Rationality seemed to have left him whenever she was involved.

Lu Nanzhi seemed to be really angry and lightly smacked his head.

“Ah. Easy! Easy! That hurts.” Lin Weihao winced from pain but he didn’t get angry.

“You still know what pain is.” Nanzhi snickered lightly, still fuming from his recklessness.

Lin Weihao was aggrieved but he was secretly pleased at the same time.

Does this mean she was starting to care about him?

He had a wonderful sleep that night dreaming of good things.

Nanzhi had successfully upgraded to Tier 5 and he became a Tier 3 awakener.

The two spend three months in Amber City and within that time, Lin Weihao had noticed that the distance between the two had grown thinner.

Nanzhi started to talk more and she began to open up to him whether about her past and her family to which she had never done before.

“Since I shared mine, don’t you think it’s only fair if you share yours too?”

Lin Weihao nodded immediately.

“Well, of course. How could I keep things from my future wife…ah, I mean you, a friend, a close friend, a very close friend. Yeah, that is it.” With a nervous laugh, he corrected himself.

He couldn’t control his mouth on time and blurted it out of the blue. He thought Nanzhi would be angry but she just looked at him and urging him with her eyes to continue.

He had said that part out loud because of excitement and with her enhanced hearing; she should be able to pick it up.

Lin Weihao secretly smiled. Does that mean that it was finally not one-sided?

He seems to have returned to being a hot blooded youth and whenever he remembered that little detail while, he would be in a dazed and lightly chuckle every so often.

Seeing there was chance, Lin Weihao didn’t pass this opportunity and pursued Nanzhi.

Nanzhi also didn’t dismiss his advances and they finally got together when they reached Pearl City’s base.

Lin Weihao was over the moon and he secretly hunted alien beasts and gathered their spars as a Zhi Zhi’s betrothal gift for the future.

In the second year of the apocalypse, the two got married and had a child.

It was a little boy.

Lin Weihao couldn’t describe the immense joy he had felt at that moment. On his arms, is his and Zhi Zhi’s child.

Zhi Zhi had named him Haoran, which means their ‘radiant light’.

However, the days weren’t all happy.

Zhi Zhi began to disappear often and would come after three days or in weeks.

Lin Weihao could not allow his wife to go out alone, he decided to follow her but his wife seems to read his mind and sneak out before he can even do something.

This continued for a year and during the last of her escapades, Nanzhi said she needed to take care of something and will come back after a month.

She left the child to him and gave him a space artifact which was filled with supplies for the child and him.

Lin Weihao had wanted to go with her but Nanzhi didn’t want to at all.

His intuition weren’t good for a strange reason this time.

Zhi Zhi had promised him that when she comes back, she’ll bring him and the child to a peaceful place.

Lin Weihao really didn’t want to let her leave and he guarded the door of their house for three days straight.

But Zhi Zhi cunningly spiked his drink and sneak out in the middle of the night, only leaving a note for him.

Though frustrated and angry, Lin Weihao could only take care of the child and waited for her.

But when the time for Nanzhi to return had arrived, Lin Weihao had waited in the base’s gate, but she never showed up.

Another week, she still didn’t come back.

Another month and there was still no shadow of her

The days turned to months and the months turned to years.

Lin Weihao had wanted to search for her but Little Haoran had developed an odd sickness that would give him fever.

It was only later that he found out that Little Haoran had manifested his powers early but his physique couldn’t bear his powers at all.

To make sure nothing bad happens, Lin Weihao had to be with the child for every single second.

This was tormenting since he was also thinking about his wife at the same time.

Their child turned to five but Nanzhi was still not there.

Lin Weihao felt he would lose his sanity at this rate.

He finally took the child with him. He roamed the whole country, went to the coastal areas, the mountains, and the forest, but he couldn’t find her at all.

On the tenth year of apocalypse, he and his child perished under the Tier 9 alien beast and plant tide.

In the moments of his death, Lin Weihao couldn’t still forget about his wife.

That was the end of his first life.

Lu Nanzhi felt her shoulder dampened and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist. Lin Weihao was crying in her shoulders.

“You didn’t return even after a decade. Where did you go? I was waiting for you. Even when the base was destroyed, I was still waiting for you.”

“Zhi Zhi, I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect Haoran…”
