It was completely dark outside.
The chubby boy brought fireflies again, shining a light around them.
Using the faint light, the chubby boy picked up his grandmother's clothes, intending to carry her away.
But the chubby boy was just chubby, not strong. He couldn't lift his injured grandmother.
"You'll catch a cold."
The chubby boy was extremely distressed, because if he caught a cold, he would have to get a shot.
His father, who usually dotes on him the most, is uncompromising when it comes to getting injections.
To keep his mother-in-law from catching a cold, the chubby boy went to great lengths to find dry grass.
He piled hay on his mother-in-law's body, and besides piling it on her body, he also stuffed some under her as a pad.
After finishing all of this, the chubby boy felt that he must have lost a lot of weight from exhaustion.
The outside world is so quiet.
After finishing his work, the chubby boy nestled into his grandmother's arms.
Chapter 178
The night in the wild was cold and eerie. A little chubby bird would occasionally peek out, cautiously looking outside.
He wrapped himself up tightly, but no matter how tightly he wrapped himself up, he was still afraid.
The chubby boy, who used to sleep like a piglet, now wakes up immediately at the slightest sound.
This night was incredibly long and unbearable for the chubby boy.
Yu An also didn't sleep a wink all night. He stayed with Da Zai to prevent the man from escaping. With Da Zai around, Yu An dared to fight him to the death.
As dawn broke, Yu An, covered in wounds, interrogated the person he had trampled underfoot one last time: "Where are my father and grandmother? Will you tell me?"
Your grandmother is dead.
The man trampled underfoot looked at Yu An, who was holding a bone blade. Even at this critical moment, a maniacal smile still lingered on his face: "Yu An, killing just one of me is already this difficult, your idea of killing us is simply a pipe dream!"
"No, you can't kill me."
The man arrogantly declared, "Even your grandmother couldn't stop us with her life. As for you, you'll have to die with us!"
“Yu An, your grandmother is old, she should die. And you are too young, you are no match for us.”
It's rare to see Yu An still babbling on like this while being trampled underfoot.
He bent down slightly and severed the man's hands and crippled his legs. After doing so, his body was already on the verge of collapse.
"alright."
He closed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly: "Take him away and lock him up. Send him to the West District as quickly as possible."
With Ruan Ke in the West District, he might be able to find a way to trap people.
After temporarily dealing with the madman in front of him, Yu An returned to the East District with Da Zai. Although he was very tired, he still went to see Xie Chiyuan.
"Big brother, did you bring the person back?"
When Wu Zai saw them return, he immediately went up to them and asked.
Yu An nodded: "I cut off his hand and brought him back. Now we're preparing to transfer him to the West District. How is Xie Chiyuan?"
"Xie Chiyuan's arm is infected, and the blood flowing from his arm is black. Brother, you need to get the truth out of that person as soon as possible, what exactly did he do to Xie Chiyuan."
Upon hearing this, Yu An frowned deeply.
"You and Da Zai go interrogate him. Use any method you can to get him to talk. I'm going to check on Xie Chiyuan."
"good."
Wu Zai received the instructions and went to do his work, while Yu An went into Xie Chiyuan's room. Xie Chiyuan had already been cleaned up and his clothes had been changed to clean ones.
The sleeve on his arm was rolled up, revealing the wound on it.
Just as Wu Zai had said, the wound clearly showed signs of infection. And the high fever that would result from the infection was now manifesting in Xie Chiyuan.
His skin was burning hot.
Yu An saw his lips move, as if he was murmuring something.
They were the only ones in the room; there was no one else there. Yu An lowered her head and leaned closer to listen to what he had to say.
"Yu An, no, I don't want your things..."
"Yu An, don't leave me."
"I won't kill you, I definitely won't kill you."
Xie Chiyuan spoke in broken sentences, and it took Yu An quite a while to barely make out what he was saying. But even after making out what he was saying, he still didn't understand it.
The interrogation of Wu Zai was still ongoing, so Yu An leaned against Xie Chiyuan's chest, closed her eyes, and wanted to rest for a while.
Half an hour later.
Wu Zai and Da Zai both came in. They had changed their clothes, but you could still smell a strong stench of blood on them when you got closer.
"Big brother is asleep."
Wu Zai looked at Yu An, who was fast asleep, and lowered his voice. They carefully arranged for Yu An to stay on another bed in the room.
After making arrangements for their eldest brother, they called Yin Qin.
Xie Chiyuan and Yu An are both in poor condition right now, so they naturally have to leave things to their elders. The elder brother's elders are not here, but Xie Chiyuan's elders are.
Yin Qin and Ruan Ke were together, listening to the report on the other end of the video call.
“I got a little information out of her. My grandmother’s body couldn’t hold on any longer. When she was lucid, she felt she couldn’t control these lunatics anymore, so she kept thinking about how to eliminate this threat forever.”
“She tried to make the town disappear completely, but that didn’t work. At best, it would prevent strangers from entering, but it wouldn’t allow these lunatics to remain trapped.”
"Finally, during another episode, she suddenly said she wanted to go back to MiShield. Mr. Gu felt that she made this request because her consciousness was clouded again, but he still decided to accompany her back."
"Before they could return to Midun, these lunatics in the town banded together once again."
“This time, outsiders broke in. They replenished their food supplies, and Grandma couldn’t hold onto the town.”
"He said his grandmother died and they just dumped her outside. Gu's father is missing, and they don't know where he is either."
After this report, Ruan Ke only managed to glean one key word.
"Secret Shield".
He singled out the word: "I don't believe that Grandma would say she wanted to go here for no reason."
"She must have remembered that there was something inside the shield that could stop these madmen, or... kill them."
As Ruan Ke shared his analysis, Da Zai pondered for a moment before speaking, "I will go and see for myself."
"Take your men with you."
Ruan Ke added, "Take as many people as possible. I'm worried that those lunatics will also go to Mishield."
These lunatics are highly intelligent; they will never take Grandma's words to heart.
After they finished discussing these matters, Ruan Ke took the initiative to ask, "What was Chi Yuan infected with? Dr. Gu said that these people are best at creating all kinds of viruses."
Ruan Ke knew Xie Chiyuan's constitution all too well; Xie Chiyuan had never been infected with any virus.
He said that Xie Chiyuan was infected with a virus that stimulates the central nervous system, and that they did not intend to cause any harm to Xie Chiyuan.
"They were trying to help Xie Chiyuan recover his past memories out of kindness."
"fart."
Upon hearing this, Yin Qin's face darkened: "Chi Yuan is missing a piece of his childhood memory. What can be restored from the memories of a child who is only a few years old?"
These lunatics are just being obnoxious.
"Is Chi Yuan in mortal danger?" Ruan Ke asked the crucial question.
"No."
Wu Zai said, "But whether there is any danger to his life is still uncertain since Xie Chiyuan hasn't woken up yet."
The group chatted for a while, and then they learned that the West District would send a plane to pick them up. At the same time, they would have Tang Yi fly over to treat Xie Chiyuan.
They talked very quickly, without any unnecessary chatter.
Da Zai went to the secret shield to check on the situation, while Tang Yi went to the East District to treat the injured Xie Chiyuan and Yu An.
Ruan Ke was tasked with keeping an eye on one of the madmen they had captured alive and investigating whether this madman possessed any special abilities. Everyone was busy, and the general public was completely unaware of their efforts.
When Yu An woke up, Tang Yi was already standing next to him.
"Big brother."
Little Butterfly came with Tang Yi. Little Butterfly had been watching over him by his bedside for who knows how long. When he woke up, Little Butterfly immediately went over and looked at her older brother without blinking: "You're injured."
Yu An had a dream while he was sleeping, a rather frightening dream; he dreamt of his own funeral.
Seeing Liu Zai, Yu An calmed down a little. He spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "What are you doing here?"
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
As Liu Zai spoke, he also told him about the other children: "Er Zai and the others also wanted to come, but Dr. Ruan didn't allow it."
With Tang Yi present, Xie Chiyuan's condition quickly improved. He gave Xie Chiyuan a thorough examination, which showed that Xie Chiyuan was indeed out of danger.
However, he is currently in a deep coma, and Tang Yi is unsure when he will wake up.
Everything has settled down for the time being.
Yu An glanced at Xie Chiyuan, who was still unconscious. He held Xie Chiyuan's hand and said, "Xie Chiyuan has been busy and has hardly had any rest."
"Let's just consider this a break for him."
He hoped that he could resolve all the troubles by the time Xie Chiyuan woke up. He wanted to live a peaceful life with Xie Chiyuan.
They faced no survival crisis and simply lived a simple life with their babies.
Above were Dad, Grandma, and other elders; below were the babies, and even smaller babies. Thinking of the smaller babies, Yu An suddenly remembered—
