Chiu Chiu hasn't seen her older brother for a while and misses him a little.
He saw his own photo, and after seeing it, he was just a little shy.
He also saw many people praising his cuteness, which was incredibly encouraging for a little bird who had long lacked confidence.
"Big brother."
After Da Zai left, Qiu Qiu also called her older brother. Qiu Qiu started with sweet words: "I miss you so much."
"Big brother wants to chirp too."
Yu An smiled and chatted with Qiu Qiu for a while before asking about their schedule: "Are you done with your work over there? When do you plan to come back?"
Chiu Chiu couldn't wait to go back. But Tiger Cub wasn't finished with his work yet, so she couldn't send him away.
"Meow Meow said it will take a while longer."
Chiu Chiu was a little down, but she still mustered her spirits and told her older brother, "Big brother, you have to take good care of yourself. Meow Meow and I will definitely be back soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
After finishing the call, Pei Si also made a new discovery.
"Just how much have the brains of these advanced zombies evolved?"
After seeing several empty rooms, Pei Si picked up the scattered syringes from the ground and asked Yu An thoughtfully.
"This is the room where they locked up the surviving humans."
"There are several syringes on the ground. Did they inject something into the trapped humans?"
Yu An handed him a bag and told him to pack up the syringes: "Send them all back to the base so my dad can check them."
"These zombies, no matter how much they evolve, can never evolve knowledge."
Yu An could see what Pei Si was worried about, and he comforted her: "Look, there are only ready-made syringes here, no experimental instruments at all. This means they can't do more advanced experiments that can be used on humans."
Even if zombies keep evolving, they still can't compare to native human scientists and big names in various fields.
The brains of those big shots are far more valuable than the brains of zombies.
One of these precious brains belongs to his father!
Yu An collected all the scattered syringes and then followed Pei Si to continue the examination.
There were a lot of dead zombies here, after all, there were several zombie kings standing here, and they attracted a large number of zombie minions.
Now that the zombie henchman and the zombie king died on the same day, month, and year, it can be considered a fulfillment of their bond.
Pei Si.
As they were about to leave, Yu An suddenly reminded them, "Check everyone you take out of this base to see if they've been injected with drugs."
"Also, lock them up in separate rooms."
The zombies here may not have normal thought processes, but they are definitely vicious, especially these few zombie kings.
They're capable of anything.
Pei thought about the few survivors the children had rescued. They looked no different from normal people, and no wounds were found during the initial examination.
However, he still remembered Yu An's instructions.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to give them another check-up."
“On the way back, let them be alone as well.”
They have enough cars to easily free up a few empty ones. If they really can't free up any, they can go outside and collect abandoned cars.
A scrapped car can still be driven after some repairs.
After settling the survivors in, they cleaned up the base again.
After confirming that there were no oversights, the group began their journey to the base.
On the road.
In the video call with Xie Chiyuan, Yu An showed himself in every way: "Now do you believe me? I really wasn't injured this time."
"I think those zombies are very weak in combat and can't take a beating at all."
Yu An also truthfully reported his feelings after the battle: "Compared to the last time I was surrounded by zombies, this time I feel that no matter how many zombie kings they come, I can kill them all."
Yu An spoke arrogantly with an honest expression.
Xie Chiyuan's eyelids twitched upon hearing this.
"An'an, do you remember the saying, 'Humility makes one progress, while pride makes one fall behind'?"
"Even if you are very powerful now, you must never underestimate your opponent."
With Gu Ainan's guidance, Xie Chiyuan's inner turmoil eased a little.
So now, when facing Yu An, he is not as nervous and worried as before, but he still has the same concerns.
"I'm not that proud."
Yu An's phone was propped up on a stand. He was lying on the table, his face facing the phone: "I'm just saying this in front of you."
He was very humble towards outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Xie Chiyuan's furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
"Honey, I didn't mean to scold you."
Xie Chiyuan lightly brushed aside the topic, his eyes fixed on Yu An on the screen: "An'an, come back soon. You've lost weight out there."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An pinched the soft flesh on her face and glared at him resentfully.
Are you blind?
He hasn't lost any weight in his face; he hasn't slimmed down at all.
It's really strange. He's not acting like a human being anymore, and his diet is all weird. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be gaining weight anymore.
But he felt he had gained at least several pounds, perhaps from overeating at the base.
Xie Chiyuan lied through his teeth: "Anyway, I just think you look thinner. When you come back, I'm going to give you a proper check-up."
"What are you checking?"
"Check if you've lost any weight."
Seeing that no one was around him, Xie Chiyuan lowered his voice and whispered an additional sentence.
After he finished speaking, Yu An's cheeks instantly turned bright red.
"You, you have no shame."
"When have I ever cared about my reputation?"
Xie Chiyuan was completely unfazed by his shameless behavior.
He also emphasized, "Make sure you eat well on the road. If I find you've lost weight when you come back, I'll deal with you."
Yu An refused to talk to this scoundrel in broad daylight.
Along the way.
The car moved slowly, stopping and starting, as they made their way into some small bases.
Not many high-level zombies were found in the small base, and there wasn't a single zombie king.
Ordinary zombies can now be dealt with by humans themselves.
Pei Si carried a lot of supplies in his car, and when he encountered some small bases that were in a difficult situation, he would share the supplies with them.
Yu An and her children also did their best to help.
Because of these small bases along the way, their return time to the base was extended.
The survivors, who were kept in solitary confinement, gradually began to feel dissatisfied.
Why are you staring at us like we're criminals?!
One of the survivors was furious: "None of us have been bitten by zombies, and you've checked us! Now you're always separating us from the others, is this discrimination?!"
The other survivors, who were also imprisoned, were also seething with anger.
“We are not infected, nor have we done anything heinous. We do not accept that you are looking at us like prisoners.”
"I want you to lift our imprisonment."
The rescued survivors spoke one by one, demanding to move around like other normal people.
Furthermore, they should not be watched while they are active.
Yu An walked over and heard their demands.
"I only have one question: what did the zombies do to you while you were imprisoned?"
Yu An did not directly mention the syringe, but instead asked directly.
If these people can tell the truth, then it's fine.
"They did nothing."
The man who had been most agitated earlier spoke up angrily: "Those zombies just locked us up, they didn't do anything else. Now you're locking us up too, how are you any different from those zombies?!"
The man didn't mention the syringe at all.
Yu An then looked at the others, and they all gave the same answer.
No one admitted to being injected with any unknown drugs.
Seeing this, Yu An looked at Pei Si and said, "Keep her locked up."
Not telling the truth means there might be some problems.
Before determining the severity of the problem, Yu An must be extremely cautious.
Pei Si shares the same viewpoint as him.
These people were locked up again. Yu An looked at them and said calmly, "Don't worry, you won't be restricted from your freedom for long."
“We’re almost at the base. Once we get back, my father will give you another check-up.”
