Yin Feng, who was sitting in the back, fell silent, while Xiao Jiu, one of the two babies in Yu An's pocket, had just woken up groggily.
The hearing of the deformed individuals is first-rate.
Little Jiu nestled blankly in its older brother's pocket, its mycelium rubbing against the cap, wearing a solemn expression as if it were questioning the meaning of life.
Xie Chiyuan said... his older brother is his younger brother's sister-in-law.
This is a bit convoluted, and it didn't fool Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu continued to ponder silently, while Xie Chiyuan, without any psychological burden, was still resting with his eyes closed.
Time passed little by little.
at the same time.
Akagiri was also in contact with A08, who had somehow managed to steal a phone and was making a video call.
On the large screen, the A08's tentacles almost overflowed the screen.
He warned Red Bird menacingly, "Don't think I only have tentacles and no brains! The money you promised to pay me last time, hasn't it arrived yet!"
Red Bird smiled and said, "Of course we've arrived."
Then he extended an invitation: "08, you should have rested well by now, right? Life at sea can never compare to life on land. I look forward to your arrival."
A08 said irritably, "Why are you rushing me? I'm looking for someone."
Behind him, an ugly, deformed fish huddled pitifully beside a rock, not daring to disturb its leader.
A08 saw him through the camera lens and became even more agitated: "Damn it, do you even know where Xie Chiyuan is? He's kidnapped my brother!"
He was such a big brother, and he was kidnapped by Xie Chiyuan and has now disappeared without a trace.
His stupid fish has gone to the island several times, but still hasn't found anyone!
Chapter 54
A08 kept switching between looking for his brother and Xie Chiyuan, but never agreed to work for Red Bird.
The magician standing next to the red bird was still wearing his exaggerated clown mask. He squeezed in front of the screen and said to A08, "Xie Chiyuan will meet with us in two days."
After those words were spoken, the screen froze for two seconds.
Immediately afterwards, A08's impatient voice rang out: "Send me the location, I'm coming right now!"
Red Bird sent the address and then considerately asked, "Do you need us to pick you up?"
Before he could finish speaking, A08 had already hung up the video call.
Looking at the darkened screen, the magician turned his gaze to Red Bird's face and said in a low voice, "A08 isn't very bright. Should we keep him here this time?"
Red Bird hummed in agreement.
In today's chaotic society, Chi Niao is living more comfortably than ever before. In the past, his projects were always met with too much obstruction. People in peacetime would constantly focus their attention on their organization, wanting them to disappear.
But not anymore.
Now, many people, including district leaders and heads of unidentified organizations, are extending olive branches to him.
Red Bird hates being constrained; he won't be recruited, but if the benefits are good enough, he'll do anything.
A new call came in, and Akatori leaned lazily against the back of his chair to answer it again.
On the other side.
Yu An, who was sitting in the car, got carsick. He rarely gets carsick, but this time the driver was driving like he was driving a bumper car.
"Xie Chiyuan."
Yu An, her face pale, reached out and grabbed Xie Chiyuan's wrist, pleading weakly, "Can I...can I drive myself?"
Yu An had learned to drive on the island.
According to Mr. Song, the only person who had ever ridden in his car, "You can write down your bank password before you get in the car, and if you can afford it, you can also buy insurance."
Xie Chiyuan had seen him driving on the island, so he chose to remain silent about the request.
They were driving a large truck that could carry a lot of supplies.
Along the way, they would occasionally give away supplies from the vehicle to people, and would also give rides to those who were going to the base along the way.
"Have some water."
Xie Chiyuan held the water to Yu An's lips, patted his back gently with his other hand, and said in a low but coaxing voice, "We'll be at the base soon, then you can rest."
They were going to pick up Pei Si and Lu Chao along the way.
Yu An listlessly drank half a glass of water from Xie Chiyuan's hand.
Seeing this, Yin Feng behind him withdrew the water cup he was about to hand out.
Are you feeling better?
"Not done."
Yu An slumped her brows unhappily, looking at Xie Chiyuan with a hint of resentment: "Do you think I'm a bad driver, so you won't let me drive?"
Xie Chiyuan thought to himself, "Can I admit to such a blunt truth?" Of course not.
He pretended to rub Yu An's head and said in a low voice, "I don't mind that you drive badly. Look how difficult the road is, and there are so many people in the car. It must be tiring for you to drive."
"When you have some free time, you can drive a bumper car if you want. I'll modify one for you."
Upon hearing this, Yu An's attention was instantly diverted.
He looked up at the magnified handsome face in front of him: "You can also modify cars?"
"meeting."
"I want a cool car."
No matter how old a boy is, he still likes cool cars, and Yu An is no exception.
Xie Chiyuan rubbed his head, nodded, and agreed.
The two were very close, close enough that Yu An could clearly see even a tiny mole at the corner of Xie Chiyuan's eye.
"Xie Chiyuan."
Yu An whispered a reminder: "You have a mole near your eye, it's very pretty."
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow, generously pulled open his collar to reveal his fair collarbone: "You like moles? I have some here too."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An swallowed hard for no reason, silently thinking to himself, "Da Tou is really tempting."
Perhaps Xie Chiyuan was distracting him, because although the road ahead was still very bumpy, Yu An's urge to vomit was not as strong.
"Comrade, buddy."
Some of the rescued people spoke up hesitantly, wanting to talk to them.
Xie Chiyuan turned around, gesturing for him to continue.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, very thin, with a sallow complexion due to malnutrition. He licked his lips and, after resting for so long, decided to give some instructions.
"There are zombies. There are zombies that are just like humans. They can think and do everything. They look like children with adults around them. They even have water bottles hanging around their necks, but the adults are nowhere to be found."
“He specifically attacked drivers, as well as People’s Liberation Army comrades.”
The skinny man shuddered a little at the thought of that terrifying zombie child.
Xie Chiyuan frowned and asked, "Where was the last time you saw him? How many people perished?"
The man recalled and gave a direction.
He said with lingering fear, "Luckily, someone stopped him at the time. The person who stopped him was like a god; he could set fire with a single gesture!"
fire.
Xie Chiyuan and Yu An both thought of Song Jun on the island. Song Jun's awakened superpower was water power, and he could control water.
It seems that Mr. Song is not an isolated case.
"Could you tell us in detail how the person who stopped the zombies set the fire?" Xie Chiyuan asked the thin man, hoping to get more information from him.
The thin man trusted their military vehicles and uniforms and described the scene in detail.
The one who could control the fire was a short-haired young man. He was dressed in a simple shirt and trousers and had delicate features, so it was impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
The thin man continued, "That young man didn't say anything either. I saw sweat on his forehead, and he looked very weak, like he was sick."
“His voice was hoarse. He told us to leave while he stayed behind to hold off the zombie.”
After the thin man finished speaking, Xie Chiyuan reported everything he had said to Ruan Ke, who then handled the rest.
After a while, the car finally stopped.
Xie Chiyuan opened the car door, and Yu An eagerly jumped out.
As soon as he went out, he was caught by someone.
It was Pei Si and Lu Chao.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time since they last parted ways. If it weren't for Xie Chiyuan being there, Pei Si would have wanted to pinch Yu An's cheek.
"An'an, how have you been lately?"
Pei Si stuffed the candy she had saved into his pocket and asked about him, "You seem the same as before, why haven't you gained any weight?"
Yu An also wanted to gain weight, but there was too little food he could eat.
He looked up at his food reserves, which were oblivious to his surroundings and were accusing him of being a picky eater: "You eat like a cat, only taking a few bites each time, and it's no use even when I'm watching you."
Pei Si frowned upon hearing this.
His younger brother is about the same age as Yu An, but he is noticeably more robust.
The group criticized Yu An's appetite, and Pei Si and Lu Chao, not ones to mince words, didn't waste much time and got into the car.
After being checked, all the people taken in on the bus were sent to the base.
Pei Si and Lu Chao had packed their luggage in advance, so they didn't need to go into the base. As soon as they got in the car, the car became much more lively.
