Chapter 6 Icouldn't even begin to imagine how miserable my fate would have been, had I not found out about the future from the commenters. After all, I never thought that the man I was married to would be so cruel to me. Ishook away the thoughts in my head, looking over to the rows filled with goods and supplies that filled me with peace. In this ice age, food was more important than anything else. After eating, I tooka nice, long nap. When I woke up, I stretched lazily before the comments appeared in my vision again: {Whoa, talk about bloody!
There's nothing scarier than human nature in the apocalypse! ] Yeah, it really magnifies the darkness of humanity...] [To think he could even do that to his own parents... what an animal!] (Whata selfish scum! He could do anything for a mouthful of food!) Iturned on the surveillance and saw Charles and his parents fighting each other, bloodied and bruised, all over a single pack of instant noodles. "You old hag! Why are you fighting me for this food when you've got cancer?" "T don't want to die!
You're young, so you can skip a few meals, but at my age, one less meal could mean death!" "'So what? You were bound to die anyway!' Charles shoved her as hard as he could, and Kate fell to the floor with a sickening crack, probably breaking some bones. With the freezing weather, old bones like hers were quite fragile.

Arthur licked his lips, his voice creaky as he said, "S-Son .. your mother wasn't going to live much longer, so it was a waste to let her eat. This pack of instant noodles is all we have, so let's split it in half." Charles was unmoved, looking at his father coldly." You're a father, and you want to snatch your son's life- saving food?
You treasure family lineage more than anything, and you don't want our bloodline to stop here, right? "Aren't I the hope of the family, Dad? Pass away without any regrets, alright? Once you die, your son can live." The old man looked at his son dumbly, and it took a very long time before he realized what he had heard. Witha trembling finger, he pointed at Charles. "You... you devil! Do you want to kill your father too? You monster!" As Arthur continued to curse him, Charles stepped closer, and closer...

HelpGold & Premium FAQHow unlocking works on this reader page.
What does Gold unlock?

What is Premium?

Gold vs Premium — which should I choose?
Choose Gold if you only want this series: one payment (about 470 Gold for the full novel on this book) unlocks the whole story forever.
Choose Premium if you read many locked books and want one subscription for the whole site during your billing period.
You can use both.
Cancel Premium auto-renewal?
On the Premium page after subscribing, or on your
