Yu An suddenly had this beautiful wish: "If everyone could recover, and be like before—"
"impossible."
Sun Mo shattered his illusion: "Vaccines will only prevent surviving humans from being infected again, but those who have been infected can never go back to what they were before."
Most zombies ate humans during their infection period.
If one day they come to their senses, how will they face what they have done?
Sun Mo remained clear-headed throughout. He was keenly aware of humanity's plight, keenly aware of appearing when humanity needed help, and keenly aware of his own future fate.
Yu An looked at Qiu Qiu, who was still sitting beside him, diligently working on the bamboo ring. After a long while, he said, "Sun Mo, don't give up."
"Maybe a new turning point will come for all of us in the future."
"Chiu-Chiu really likes you, he definitely wants you to play with him more."
Chiu Chiu, engrossed in weaving bamboo rings, caught the words. He quickly looked up and confirmed, "I like Brother Sun!"
Chirp is a sensitive little chirp; he knows exactly who is good to him!
He was naturally aware that Sun Mo treated him well.
Upon hearing Qiuqiu's words, Sun Mo's expression softened considerably.
He patted Qiuqiu's head and said softly, "I like you very much too."
The little bird's eyes were so clear, so clear, that they softened his heart.
He doesn't like this world; he loathes it.
But deep down, he still possessed an indelible sense of morality that belonged to humanity, a sense of morality that made him willing to sacrifice himself for humanity and for this world.
This little bird is a rare and comforting remedy for him; seeing it always makes him feel good.
Yu An remained silent, still hoping that Sun Mo could recover.
If Sun Mo can live a good life, like a human being, then he will definitely get married and have children like a normal person, and have a cute and healing little one.
"Big brother."
Yu An was lost in thought when Qiu Qiu called out to him.
"Look at this! I made it for Sanzai."
Chiu Chiu handed the bamboo ring she had painstakingly woven to her older brother. The bamboo ring was covered with many tiny green leaves.
Yu An imagined what Gun Gun would look like wearing this, his eyes crinkled as he praised, "It looks good, and San Zai would be even cuter wearing it."
"Um!"
Chiu Chiu agreed.
Eight got drunk and somehow provoked Nine, and the two started fighting without warning.
Qi Zai is tasting wine with Tan Zhan. He doesn't actually know how to appreciate wine, but he can recognize the brands!
He would then give a serious and insightful comment on which wine was the most expensive.
Liu Zai transformed into a little butterfly and lazily lay on the back of the sofa.
Looking at the room full of children, Yu An felt a sense of lively joy.
Of course, it would be even better if all the little ones were here.
Sun Mo had little appetite, so this reception for him was more like a gathering of his children.
The kids are all having a great time.
As the event was about to end, Xie Chiyuan finally returned.
Behind him followed a man of similar build.
Yu An looked at the man, her eyes widening slightly.
The next second.
Before Yu An could even rush over, Qiu Qiu raised her voice first.
His eyes sparkled, and he called out loudly, "Meow!"
The cat, which I could only see through video, suddenly appeared in front of me. Chiu Chiu rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was seeing things.
But soon.
Yu An leaned over and hugged her cub: "Tiger cub, you're here."
The tiger cub felt the warmth of its older brother, and its heart warmed as well.
He said softly, "Brother, I'm here."
Although it had been a long time since they last met, Yu An missed Zai Zai, and Zai Zai also missed her older brother.
After a brief hug, Yu An separated from the tiger cub.
As the eldest brother who treats everyone equally, he knows there's another little chick who wants to hold a tiger cub.
He picked up Qiuqiu and handed her to the tiger cub.
"Are you hungry? If you are, I'll have someone get you something to eat."
I'm not hungry.
The tiger cub refused, saying, "You don't need to prepare anything else for me."
Yu An knew he wouldn't let himself go hungry, so she didn't force him to prepare anything.
"If we don't eat, we'll go to sleep."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Chiyuan and said, "Prepare a new room for Tiger Cub."
Chiu Chiu is currently squeezed in with Ba Zai and Jiu Zai. The three babies are already crowded enough, and there's no way we can squeeze in a fourth baby.
Sun Mo's room was next to theirs.
Logically speaking, any zombie, even the zombie king, should be monitored.
For example, the zombie old man was under surveillance in the West District.
But Sun Mo was an exception.
Xie Chiyuan did not assign anyone to monitor him, nor did he take any protective measures. He even arranged for Sun Mo's room to be not far from his own.
The reason it's not next door is because the baby already lives next door.
The group went back together.
On the road.
Yu An told Tiger Cub about the progress in the West District: "We have now found the source of the zombies. As long as the vaccine is developed, this infection can end."
Tiger Cub wasn't as optimistic as Yu An; he cautioned, "Vaccines are very difficult to develop."
Even with the source zombies, it's not guaranteed that they can successfully develop it.
He recalled what Da Zai had said before he left, so he suggested again: "The El Labs in the East District has a very strong team."
"Brother, if you need, I can have them send someone over."
Yu An couldn't make a decision for the lab yet. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'll ask Uncle Ruan tomorrow."
Although Yin Qin was forced to retire, Ruan Ke was not.
Ruan Ke personally reviewed every experimental plan in the laboratory.
The group walked and talked, and Xie Chiyuan was very efficient, arranging a room for Tiger Cub in no time.
Once in the corridor, Yu An took the tiger cub back to the room arranged for him, and then prepared to go back.
"Tiger cub, if you want anything or need anything, just knock on my door."
Yu An specifically told him the room number: "If you can't get my door open, then go find another kid."
The other kids will always hear the knocking!
Recently, Yu An has become a little unrestrained when sleeping with Xie Chiyuan.
Every time he falls asleep, he can't hear anything.
He probably wouldn't even notice if the kids came knocking on the door.
The tiger cub nodded as it listened to his instructions.
Seeing this, Yu An prepared to continue sending off the other babies.
Bazai is drunk and acting crazy, so he can't stay with the other babies; he needs to be arranged to live alone.
Just as Yu An was about to leave, Tiger Cub looked up and glanced at Qiuqiu, whom he was holding hands with.
Chirp: "..."
Chiu Chiu is conflicted.
He finally got to see a cat he could pet, and he wanted to sleep with it tonight.
But, but he already promised Brother Sun that he would stay with Brother Sun while we were eating.
Chirp's little wings are all drooping from worry.
Yu An looked at Qiu Qiu, then at the tiger cub.
He decisively passed the problem on to Qiuqiu herself: "Ahem, Qiuqiu. I'll go put Bazai back. You can sleep wherever you want tonight."
Bazai is now a cub that can't walk independently.
Xiao Jiu seemed to have lost the fight earlier, so he holds a grudge.
Now, whenever I get the chance, I secretly pinch Baza's little tentacles.
Yu An was busy making arrangements for the children; with so many children, it was quite a hassle to arrange them.
Behind them, not only Qiuqiu, but also Sun Mo were parked at the tiger cub's door.
Tiger Cub didn't look at Sun Mo, but he knew Sun Mo was there.
In the video call, Qiuqiu showed him the little whistle and happily introduced it, saying, "This whistle was given to me by Brother Sun. He said that if I blow this, he can hear me."
Especially lately, the tiger cub has been hearing the name "Brother Sun" very frequently.
