The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse
Chapter 499 - 492: Not Worth Envying

Chapter 499: Chapter 492: Not Worth Envying

Gao Yuan couldn’t hide his admiration for Ram any longer.

"Brother Yang, you’re amazing! To still be able to live under one roof, you’re really incredible."

Ram sighed and hurriedly waved his hands, "Not at all, not at all, we aren’t living together. Uh, this is very complicated, it’s not what you think, how to explain this... When you’ve been through a lot, especially after many experiences of life and death, some people just can’t be separated anymore."

Gao Yuan was startled, said, "Oh?"

"Yeah, I actually first got to know Catherine. She saved my... Chieftain, who is also my family member, then I saved her and we got to know each other like that. Then there was my wife Yelena, first I saved her, and then, and then things just developed from there, and then Catherine and Adel saved my wife. Catherine was close to dying, Adel was in danger, Yelena was very endangered, and I, to avenge them, did a big thing."

Gao Yuan nodded dumbly.

Ram, helplessly spreading his hands, said, "You know, the life of a mercenary, how could it be peaceful? Ailin is the pilot Rabbit and I found, and then... eventually, no, I mean, feelings developed."

"I understand that, but that person..."

"Oh, Karemah. Her background is quite unusual. I met her during a mission that I have to keep confidential. Um, I met her on a mission, but then we didn’t see each other for a while. Later, I got to know her brother. He had always been looking for her, and then her brother and I found her and saved her, and she also saved us. Anyway, that’s the story. Uh, did I get things mixed up?"

Gao Yuan shook his head slowly, then immediately nodded and said, "It’s quite a mess, but I get it, all of them are your wives, right."

Ram scratched his head and said, "No no no, Yelena and I had a formal wedding, the others... no, there is nothing official, uh, nominally, I only have one wife, Yelena, this is very important. Uh, they usually have their own things to do and wouldn’t meet, but now with the apocalypse, they have to all live together, and that’s complicated, very complicated, you get it."

"Actually, I don’t understand..."

Ram sighed and said, "Sigh, you should be able to figure it out. If they were apart, it’d be okay, but living together, my god, it’s hard to explain."

Gao Yuan still looked at Ram with admiring eyes, and at that moment, a middle-aged man who looked quite like Ram came out with a big basin.

"Here we go, the meal’s ready, come on, everyone, time to eat."

Ram pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "My dad."

Gao Yuan stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle, hello. I’m Gao Yuan, from Stonegate."

The middle-aged man holding the basin was stunned, then he quickly wiped his hands and hurried over to Gao Yuan, "From Stonegate! My god, to meet a fellow townsman, you share the Gao surname, so we were one family five hundred years ago."

Ram’s father grabbed Gao Yuan’s hand, shook it several times vigorously, and eagerly said, "How is it, how’s our hometown? Everything okay?"

Gao Yuan wasn’t sure if he should tell the truth. He sneaked a peek at Ram, but noticed Ram was subtly shaking his head behind his dad.

"All good, everything’s pretty good, um, Stonegate has two shelters, not much loss..."

"That’s good, that’s really good! Oh, my name is Gao Wu, where does your family live? What’s your dad’s name? Maybe we even know each other, how is everyone at home?"

The Ram family was here, they had not experienced direct attacks by the aliens and did not realize what the consequences of being directly attacked by aliens were, so, Gao Wu apparently did not realize that an important etiquette of the apocalypse was not to casually ask about someone else’s family.

Gao Yuan could hardly conceal his own pain and sorrow, especially when seeing the Ram family together and content, he found it even harder to hide his pain.

"There’s no one left in my family..."

Gao Yuan said faintly, and then Gao Wu immediately froze, holding Gao Yuan’s hand, not knowing what to do.

"Dad, let’s eat first."

Ram stepped between his dad and Gao Yuan, turned his back to Gao Yuan, and gave his dad a look, then Gao Wu immediately said, "Oh, right, right, let’s eat quickly, ah, Xiao Yuan, right? Look at me, I got so excited I forgot. Please sit down, have a seat."

Gao Yuan was pressed down into a chair, and the food on the table in front of him was a fusion of East and West, with several stir-fried dishes from Shenzhou, Russian borscht, rye bread, and beef stewed with potatoes.

But somehow, Gao Yuan, who normally always had an appetite, now had none at all.

Xinghe took the initiative to sit next to Gao Yuan, then she smiled and said, "Let me see, hmm, it’s plentiful, thank you, Uncle."

Gao Wu was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said to Gao Yuan, "You two... haha, I understand, I understand."

Just what he understood, Gao Yuan was just about to speak up when Xinghe quickly said, "Yes, I’m his girlfriend."

After speaking, Xinghe looked tenderly at Gao Yuan and then very gently said, "Dear, you still have me."

Gao Yuan’s sadness was diluted because he did not know what Xinghe was up to; he really had not expected Xinghe to pull such a move, nor did he understand why she would say and do something like this.

As Gao Yuan felt utterly bewildered, Adel, who had very familiarly seated herself next to Xinghe, said with a look of astonishment, "Wow, he’s your boyfriend? You’re his girlfriend? So, does that mean your appearance isn’t a disguise? You really look like this, right? Hey, Xinghe, there is no reproductive barrier between you, right? So, you guys..."

Catherine suddenly covered Adel’s mouth from behind and then she very apologetically smiled at Xinghe before immediately telling Adel, "It’s not appropriate to talk about that now."

Adel suddenly pulled away Catherine’s hand, then she leaned back and said loudly to Gao Yuan, "Hey, you actually found an alien to be your girlfriend, you are really amazing!"

Ram suddenly slapped his forehead, while Yelena could only smile wryly and said, "Adel! Are you still keen on discussing academic issues? If you keep this up, Gao won’t take you to the cave!"

At that moment, Gao Wu looked at Adel fondly, then he said to Gao Yuan, "I am sorry, Adel is a bit special, she’s a genius, but her EQ is somewhat... childish, so she often says things that make no sense, don’t mind her, she really means no harm."

Actually, Gao Yuan did not understand what Adel said at all, but seeing Ram’s near-collapse expression, he thought, hmm, maybe sometimes Ram really wasn’t to be envied.

Ram clapped his hands and said loudly, "Alright, let’s eat, let’s eat!"
