Wenxi's thoughts wandering back to her past life were suddenly interrupted by this too loud cry. Her eyebrows were furrowed and she stood there motionless.
The little girl noticed Wen Xi's absent-mindedness and was afraid that Wen Xi would leave them alone: "Sister, my name is Chi Xiaoyu, and I want you to give my brother a name. My brother's last name is my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law's last name is Liao."
"Liao Liang," Wen Xi did not correct Chi Xiaoyu's wrong seniority, and subconsciously gave a name: "Liao Liang."
"Bright, bright, bright, what a great name! Thank you sister!"
Chi Xiaoyu's smile was bright, like a lotus that emerged from the mud but remained unstained, making people's eyes brighten.
Shu Lai, who had been watching at the door of the shack for an unknown amount of time, suddenly said, "Hey kid, where is your brother-in-law?"
Chi Xiaoyu didn't even look at Shu Lai, "Sister, can you adopt me and Liao Liang?"
"cannot."
Wen Xi cruelly refused without any hesitation.
Chi Xiaoyu looked at Wen Xi pitifully: "Sister, please."
Wen Xi's eyes didn't dodge, and he looked at Chi Xiaoyu, who was pretending to be pitiful, without any sign of letting go.
Shu Lai looked left and right, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hey! Kid, you worshiped the wrong Buddha!"
Unexpectedly, this joke aroused Chi Xiaoyu's fierce confrontation: "I don't ask for gods or worship Buddha! Gods and Buddhas don't care about the life and death of human beings!"
Shu Lai's laughter stopped suddenly. Without saying a word, he lifted up the little girl's clothes. Sure enough, he found a special pattern marking the 317 base on her left shoulder. Her pupils shrank and she asked coldly: "The power of the 317 base." Why are you so crazy? Kid, what have all the adults in your family done? How did you end up like this?"
Chi Xiaoyu couldn't help but retort loudly: "We didn't do anything! They are clearly purging heretics and bullying others too much!"
Shu Lai refused to comment and returned to the topic: "Kid, where is your brother-in-law?"
Chi Xiaoyu looked at Wenxi and replied, "I haven't come back for three days. He probably died outside."
Shu Lai laughed angrily: "Kid, you think she's useless! She can't even care about herself or you. The person you should really turn to for help is me!"
Chi Xiaoyu said to Wen Xi, "Sister, I only believe in you."
Wen Xi declined: "As long as you join the 318 Base, the orphanage will raise you until you are twenty and Liao Liang until he is eighteen."
Chi Xiaoyu bit her lip. Seeing Wenxi's heart was rocking, she had to give in: "Sister, I will send Liao Liang to the orphanage and I will follow you." After a pause, she added: "I have super powers. I don’t eat and drink from you for free, I can support myself.”
"You're great."
Wen Xi praised Chi Xiaoyu, but the next second he rejected it completely: "But I refuse."
"elder sister……"
Chi Xiaoyu's mood fluctuated up and down. He personally experienced how exciting the legendary "roller coaster" was. The excitement lasted for less than ten seconds, and he immediately fell into the abyss again.
Shu Lai laughed so hard that he didn't know whether he was laughing at Wenxi or Xiaoyu in the pond: "Pfft hahahahaha..."
Wenxi and Chi Xiaoyu both looked at Shulai. The two blazing gazes made Shulai stop laughing. She cleared her throat: "Ahem, Wenxi, don't glare at me! I'm laughing. It's all your fault! You two are so funny! Xiushui and Xiaoyu, two big babies, you are a perfect match!"
Chi Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Sister Wenxi!"
Wen Xi nodded to indicate that she had heard, turned to Shu Lai and said, "Shu Lai, if you know my situation, send them to the orphanage."
"Bingo!" Shu Lai snapped his fingers, and his voice when he spoke to Chi Xiaoyu unconsciously became softer, which was very different from her usual image: "Very good! Chi Xiaoyu, take your brother Liao Liang with me. The welfare home at the 318 Base. Your sister Wenxi also grew up in the welfare home."
Wen Xi took a deep look at Shu Lai, making Shu Lai take a step back involuntarily.
Chi Xiaoyu no longer ignored Shulai's existence, finally looked at her squarely, and solemnly thanked her with a serious expression: "Ms. Shulai, thank you."
She originally thought that Wenxi would live in a honeypot like the female superpowers in Base 317. She had been pampered since she was a child and rarely saw the dark side of human nature... Unexpectedly, Wenxi was far more powerful than she thought.
Shu Lai realized her slip of the tongue and laughed twice: "You're welcome."
Chi Xiaoyu no longer insisted on following Wenxi, hugged Liao Liang who was crying in her arms, and made her final request to Wenxi: "Sister Wenxi, can you help me cremate my sister? I don't want my sister to be cremated. Become food for the homeless like wild dogs.”
Wen Xi did not refuse this time, "Okay."
With Shulai's firepower support, Chi Xiaoyu held Liao Liang, who was just born, and stood in front of the blazing fire to bid farewell to his loved ones for the last time.
Chi Xiaoyu witnessed her sister transform from a living person to a corpse that was still warm, and finally turned into a pile of ashes.
Wen Xi's right hand gently pressed on Chi Xiaoyu's shoulder, and his tone was calm: "Ashes return to dust, dust returns to earth, and returning to the embrace of the earth is a good ending. Chi Xiaoyu, please forgive me and accept the change."
Chi Xiaoyu remained silent.
Her body, which had been stiff as steel, relaxed visibly, and Liao Liang in her arms was no longer suffocated by her overly hot feelings.
"Let's go." Shu Lai greeted, taking the lead to walk ahead with a flower gun to clear the way. She was so charming and incompatible with the lifeless shack area, like an elf who accidentally broke into the world.
Along the path passed by the elf Shulai, most of the attention of the refugees of various shapes in the slum area was attracted by the bloody flower gun. No matter how much they wanted to possess the three seemingly weak women, they would not. Dare to try easily.
I only dare to watch from a distance and don't dare to play with it.
Chi Xiaoyu was walking in the middle with Liao Liang in her arms. There was a burst of chaotic footsteps behind her, followed by a gnawing sound that made her scalp numb. She didn't have to look back to know that the hungry refugees were "eating".
The food was the remains of six refugees who were strangled by Wenxi with mutated sweet potato vines.
Wen Xi stopped and looked back at the group of refugees who, like vultures that like to eat carrion, pounced on the corpses of their own kind.
This situation is disgusting.
Wen Xi, who had faced zombies countless times and finally died in the zombie swarm, felt no emotion when seeing such a brutal and terrifying scene. It was a normal scene in the apocalypse.
However, Wenxi's quirk of "out of sight, out of mind" broke out. Under the stimulation of the wood-type superpower, mutated sweet potato vines quietly spread and grew from the ground, bursting out of the ground, and directly struck the hearts of the refugees who were eating the corpses of their kind.
Out of sight is out of mind, if you want to die if she meets her, then do it as you please.
At sunset, against the backdrop of the yellow sand in the sky, there is a hazy beauty that cannot be described in words.
"Wow--"
Just at this moment, Liao Liang's cry tore a hole in the haze, which was poignant but also tinged with hope.
