XG 71 - It was quite taxing to his mental health

With their new alliance, the group relocated deeper into the store. No longer wary, those still in hiding could finally show themselves.

Ash joined L.L. and helped out in keeping watch.

Who knows if the newcomers were chased by something and brought them over?

Wong Xue Guo slipped beside Chen Yibo, wrapped an arm around his, and tugged him to share what they said before the conversation turned to English. He quickly told her everything, which had her frowning.

"So they know how to survive the bite?"

"Maybe it's because of Yuna that they figured it out."

It was just a guess since all of the young ones have black hair and the older ones have healthy body sizes. To know the truth, they had to know more about them.

Wong Xue Guo went to grab Kim Sung-Ho to join up with Chen Yibo, letting them speak more with the newcomers. She discovers she really hates it for not understanding the Korean language. If the internet was still working, she could have downloaded an app to translate the conversation without relying heavily on human translation.

Kang Xunsu was keeping an eye on Do Eunhyuk, who had purposely sat quite far away from the others to avoid any casualties. Only his daughter insisted on remaining by his side and continued feeding him biscuits.

With the truth already exposed, there was no need for him to continue pretending. Do Eunhyuk did not remain polite and ate the dry biscuits with large bites, swallowing them with the help of water.

"Eunhyuk is a retired soldier. He helped us when we got into trouble. If not for him, this old man might have already gone to reunite with my wife," the bearded man explained with a sigh as he gazed at Do Eunhyuk.

They found out the woman in the black jacket goes by the name of Do Wheein, who was also the daughter of the injured man, Do Eunhyuk. Do Wheein was a policewoman while her father was an active soldier that happened to be on leave when the infection hit the country.

The woman in gym clothing introduced herself. "I'm Lee Su Hwa, Wheein's aunt. I used to be a dancer before everything went crazy."

"You can call me grandpa Donghae. I'm a farmer. I still have enough strength to deal with one or two of those monsters." The elderly man with a beard smiled. Towards Kang Xunsu, he was more guarded, but towards these children, he was like a gentle grandfather with low defenses.

"This is my younger brother, Sungmin. He grows delicious fruits and is a smart businessman!" Park Donghae introduced the elderly man with a slimmer figure that shared similar features with him. His tone was full of praise towards his younger brother.

After the newcomers introduced themselves, Chen Yibo did the introduction on their group's behalf.

"You are from Malaysia? Do you understand Mandarin?" Park Sungmin asked.

Chen Yibo nodded. "Yes. It's good that we have another language to communicate with."

It also saved him from being a translator. The difficulty does not lie in translating the conversation, but in doing so quickly between both sides.

It was quite taxing to his mental health.

Wong Xue Guo, Chen Yibo, and Kang Xunsu usually used Cantonese as their daily conversation language, but that does not mean they do not know mandarin, especially for Chen Yibo, whose paternal family was from China.

"Ah? Mandarin? I don't know that language," Park Donghae sighed. Unlike his younger brother who was used to dealing with tourists visiting his strawberry farm, he only does business transactions with the locals for his fresh vegetables.
