"Big brother!"
Little Jiu, who was standing at the door, answered and ran over with his short legs.
Before coming to find Ruan Ke, the unsuspecting little Jiu Zai Zai was actually spreading his mycelium all over the city looking for his older brother.
But tonight's matter is rather urgent, so he could only come here first.
Yu An hadn't seen Zai Zai for a whole day and night and was extremely worried.
"Xiao Jiu, you've grown up a bit!"
Yu An said with delight, and at this critical moment, he did not forget to check if his son had any wounds: "Were you bullied outside? It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
With her belly full, Xiao Jiu buried her head in her older brother's arms, looking aggrieved: "Without you here, all the other mutants bully me."
"They are so fierce."
Yu An patted his head and said earnestly, "From now on, you'd better stay with me and don't run around."
His little cub is so small now, how can he not be bullied when he encounters other mutants?
The two didn't talk for long before Xiao Jiujiu turned back into a mushroom. He told Yu An to go to a laboratory in front, but not to mention his presence.
Yu An hesitated for a few steps before walking over. He peeked inside and just then saw Ruan Ke.
Ruan Ke also turned around and looked at him.
Their eyes met, and Yu An's forehead lit up with a flash of inspiration. His eyes sparkled as he asked, "Are you Dr. Ruan Keruan?"
"Um."
"I...I came with Xie Chiyuan!"
Yu An walked up to him and showed him the lizard skin pouch: "Look, this is a pouch that Xie Chiyuan made for me. We really do know each other."
"Pei Si has also arrived; they are at the city gate."
"Dr. Ruan, let's go outside!"
Hearing his older brother's words, Xiao Jiu, who was in the pocket, felt for some reason that something was wrong.
A pocket made of lizard skin.
Isn't Xie Chiyuan being a little too attentive to his older brother?
But Xie Chiyuan's statement that he is against marriage doesn't seem like he's faking it.
Nestled in her older brother's pocket, Xiao Jiu overheard Xie Chiyuan telling him many times, "I'm against marriage, don't get any ideas about me."
Xiao Jiu knows whether those rumors outside are true or false, so she never cares about them.
Before Xiao Jiu could figure it out, Ruan Ke, who had just rejected him, replied with a smile, "Okay, let's go."
Xiao Jiu: "???"
Am I not cute enough?
Why did this attitude change happen so quickly?
The indignant little white mushroom wanted to do something, but with his older brother around, he had to suppress his anger.
The journey out was still smooth.
Xie Chiyuan truly deserves his reputation as humanity's strongest fighter; even when the mutants fought in a group, they couldn't take him down.
The A06 mutant, nicknamed "Fluttering Moth" by Xie Chiyuan, launched a frenzied attack after being caught off guard. The mutant's abilities were difficult to deal with, and for a time, no one could leave the area.
The mutant couldn't move, so Yu An could move quickly.
But as they crawled through the dog hole, Yu An glanced at the gentle and handsome Dr. Ruan and lowered her head shyly: "We...we're going to crawl out from here."
"OK."
Ruan Ke showed no reluctance and quickly slipped out, with Yu An following closely behind.
After going outside.
When the impatient Woody saw them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, let's hurry, don't waste any time!"
With Mu leading the way, they kept taking shortcuts.
Yu An didn't go back to Mu Tou's place. He asked Mu Tou to take him and Ruan Ke to the city gate: "Someone is there to meet us. We need to go there."
"good."
Yu An wanted to persuade Mu Tou to take everyone to the city gate, but Mu Tou shook his head: "I've been to the city gate many times, and I can't get out at all."
“I’ll take you there to take a look. If you really can’t leave, then come back with me.”
Wood is meticulous and considers things very thoroughly.
About ten minutes later.
Yu An saw the city gate and Pei Si.
"Uncle Ruan!"
Pei Sixin was overjoyed; he never expected Ruan Ke to appear at this time.
Ruan Ke pointed at Yu An and smiled, "It's all thanks to him for bringing me out."
Yu An: "..."
Yu Anlue felt guilty.
He did nothing; he just got lucky.
Pei Si took Ruan Ke from him, then looked at Yu An, her eyes filled with excitement, relief, and admiration.
Unable to bear the scrutiny, Yu An forced a smile and tried to deny that she had done anything. But Pei Si acted first.
He patted Yu An on the shoulder, his tone suddenly enlightened: "So that's why you were so bold as to act on your own, you went to rescue your father-in-law! You little lucky charm, you're so filial!"
Pei Si's teammates behind her were also moved: "Yu An is so filial! His love for Brother Xie is just too much!"
One after another, the people praised him, leaving Ruan Ke with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
What exactly is the relationship between Yu An and Chi Yuan?
Yu An, who was being praised so much that she couldn't stand it anymore, quickly interrupted them and changed the subject, asking, "Can the door be opened now?"
"Not yet, but it'll be soon."
As long as Xie Chiyuan can win, the door will naturally open.
After another half hour, the city gates suddenly opened.
Zombies were rushing in from all directions. Yu An pulled Mu Tou along, wanting him to come with her: "What if the city gate closes again? You don't know how long you'll have to wait to come out next time."
Even Pei Si said, "You're just a child, you have no obligation to help others. We'll come back to rescue the people in the city, you can come with us and leave now."
Both Yu An and Pei Si wanted him to leave.
Wood shook his head, his dark face showing only his white teeth: "I'm not leaving. I'm still very useful here. With me here, we can save as many people as possible."
"You must be soldiers. I'll wait for you to come back."
Mu Tou waved to them and ran in the opposite direction of the city gate: "The zombies are all coming out, I have to go, goodbye!"
The wooden figure quickly disappeared.
Pei Si didn't have time to check on Xie Chiyuan's condition. He hurriedly left the city gate with Ruan Ke, who was more important than his own life, and Yu An, who always liked to slip away.
Chapter 26
Before leaving, Yu An looked back several times, wondering if his baby was still there.
When Pei Si saw him turn around, she assumed he was worried about Xie Chiyuan, so she whispered to comfort him, "Brother Xie will be fine. He's been through all sorts of dangerous situations, so you don't need to worry about him so much."
Yu An responded with an "Oh".
The commotion caused by the opening of the city gates was so great that all the zombies inside the city rushed in, and the zombies that had been wandering outside the city also staggered toward this place.
Pei Si is not good at dealing with mutants, but she has a lot of experience dealing with zombies.
Moreover, Xie Chiyuan had made arrangements outside the city before he came.
"Uncle Ruan, we need to hurry."
"Um."
Although Ruan Ke usually conducts biological research in the laboratory, his physical strength is surprisingly good. He followed the team without showing any signs of fatigue.
Pei Si led the team with familiarity, and some team members had already taken care of the aftermath.
As they moved further and further away from the city gate, the magician still inside the city sensed something was wrong.
He abruptly stepped back, shouting sharply, "Why is the city gate open? Where's the D98 mutant?! And the school, none of you went back?!"
The D98 variant was a turtle variant. After the outbreak of infection and the mutation of some plants and animals, this reclusive guy tragically became food for the turtles that had grown to enormous size.
But after he was eaten, he wasn't digested; instead, he fused with other organisms. So, after a period of chaotic fusion, he became a new mutant.
"D98 just went to help A09 block damage, but Xie Chiyuan cleaved its shell." Someone weakly reported to the magician.
Not content with just adding insult to injury, the other party also brought news from the school: "Ruan Ke disappeared from the school half an hour ago."
The magician instantly turned ashen with rage.
He had a vague premonition that something was wrong with everything. All the mutants had come here, Xie Chiyuan was clearly held back by them, and his squad was far away at the city gate.
But who rescued Ruan Ke?
Ruan Ke is a member of the military, and undoubtedly stands on the side of humanity. Neither the mutants nor the non-humans would rescue him and hand him over to the military.
Time passed little by little.
The magician glanced at A06, who was almost killed, his eyes turning cold, and opened the space again.
The most urgent thing is that A06 must not actually have an accident. A06 and A08 have had a good relationship recently, although A08 is away on other matters and is temporarily unavailable.
But if A06 is really killed, A08 will probably come after them.
The magician's special ability space appeared. Xie Chiyuan glanced down at A06 lying on the ground and said coldly, "You little moth, behave yourself. Otherwise, next time we meet, I'll just turn you into a specimen and put you in an exhibition hall."
