"Hey, sis, how are you? Are you okay? Don't scare me!"
Liu Yue carefully held Liu Xinxuan in her arms, fiercely tearing apart the electric whip, and looked at Liu You'er with a face full of hatred.
Liu You'er was too overwhelmed to care about the bizarre situation. Her eyes were red, and warm tears she hadn't felt in a long time swirled in her gaze.
Why had Liu Yue turned into a human? Why was Liu Yue protecting Liu Xinxuan? None of that mattered; all she knew was that Liu Yue was alive.
"What grudge do you have against my sister that you would treat her like this? Just wait! The next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."
Although Liu Yue couldn't understand why Liu You'er was acting this way, she thought for a moment that perhaps she was just putting on an act again, which was truly disgusting.
"No, don't go! Don't go!"
"Thud."
Liu You'er unconsciously chased after her but was punched back by Liu Yue. She looked at him with a hurt expression, leaving Liu Yue perplexed.
Wasn't this woman always annoying him? What was going on now? What kind of scheme was this?
"Ugh, it hurts."
Liu Yue's attention was drawn back to the person in his arms. Seeing Liu Xinxuan in such a distressed state made his anger rise again.
Ignoring Liu You'er completely, he quickly disappeared. All he wanted now was to heal Liu Xinxuan and relieve her suffering.
"Liu Yue!"
Liu You'er prepared to chase again but was suddenly grabbed. Turning around, she realized it was Xuan Mo. She shook him off angrily and turned back, only to find that Liu Yue had already vanished.
"Are you crazy? Why are you grabbing me?"
Xuan Mo looked at Liu You'er, who was losing control, with her lips slightly pursed.
"He's not your brother. Can't you see that?"
Liu You'er was taken aback for a moment, recalling the scene on the city wall. She fell to the ground like a soulless puppet, her gaze vacant as she murmured, "It's impossible. He is... he is... where is he not? He just is."
Xuan Mo observed her state and turned to look in the direction Liu Yue had left. W Doctor's new plan? He really enjoys playing with people's hearts.
W Doctor - Underground Base
"Doctor! Doctor! Come quick and see my sister! Hurry!"
W Doctor glanced at Liu Yue, who was sweating profusely, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"You and your sister have a really good relationship~"
Liu Yue was taken aback and said confusedly, "Doctor, what's wrong with you? Please save my sister!"
The doctor looked at Liu Yue's expression and confidently replied, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Your sister will be fine~"
Liu Yue was completely unconcerned about the doctor's odd behavior; her anxious gaze was fixed on Liu Xinxuan's face, her fists tightly clenched.
That woman!!!
Liu You'er had been in this state for a week now—silent and motionless, not even moving her eyes. If one wanted to kill her, it would be easy.
"Hey."
"Mm? Who's talking?"
Xuan Mo cautiously looked around and suddenly realized, turning in surprise to Liu You'er, who was coldly staring at her.
"He is Liu Yue."
The firm tone left Xuan Mo momentarily speechless. Liu You'er was right; it was indeed Liu Yue, but clearly a problematic version of him.
Looking at him, he showed obvious disdain for Liu You'er, and his concern for Liu Xinxuan indicated that he had either altered memories or was brainwashed. Given the current situation, it was evident that Liu Yue was being used by the Doctor as a tool against Liu You'er. While Liu You'er had few vulnerabilities, Liu Yue was definitely the most critical one.
Liu You'er was acutely aware of this, but after all, he was her only brother, and he had died so tragically for her. Moreover, it was clear that he had been experimented on after death and exploited. However, how could she convince herself not to go to the Underground Base?
The Doctor's stronghold housed many ruthless characters who had fought their way out of dire situations.
Liu You'er looked at Xuan Mo's worried expression, unsure of what trick he was playing this time. However, he hadn't made any moves in the past few days, so she decided not to concern herself with him.
She withdrew her hand from his and turned away.
"Don't worry, I won't go looking for him just yet."
She had thought a lot over the past few days. This Liu Yue was definitely not the original him because he couldn't have transformed from a Zombie back into a human, especially after being blown to pieces. The only explanation was that severed head that had been taken away.
Or perhaps it involved cloning or something similar. His behavior suggested that there were memory errors as well, but none of that mattered.
Because family is family. She hadn't had the chance to treat him well before; he had vanished from her sight. This time, in a sense, it felt like a second chance—she absolutely had to seize it.
So she needed to understand the situation first. As long as she was alive, Liu Yue could also live well in the Underground Base.
Xuan Mo watched her rigid figure, strong yet heart-wrenching. He felt all his emotions burst forth at that moment and stepped forward to embrace her.
He could naturally sense Liu You'er's stiffness and the emergence of Electric Light in her hands, but he didn't mind. After all, he had indeed harbored ill intentions before, but now...
"I'll go settle things and come back for you. Wait for me."
With that, he reluctantly released Liu You'er and left decisively.
Liu You'er turned around, inexplicably staring at his back, her mind even more confused. Is this guy sick?
Forget it.
She closed her eyes, and after a while, a Little Bird with bright red feathers circled in the sky and landed on Liu You'er's shoulder. It chirped excitedly, telling Liu You'er what it had been up to these past few days, but soon realized something was off.
Turning its head, it noticed the expectation and despair in Liu You'er's eyes that it had never seen before. So, it closed its beak and gently rubbed its face against Liu You'er's cheek to offer comfort.
Seeing Liu You'er looking at it, the Little Bird immediately blinked its eyes and began to act cute, then...
"Chirp!" (Oh no, I fell!)
"Chirp chirp chirp!" (You ungrateful woman! I come to comfort you and you complain about my dirty feathers! You're bullying... a minor bird! Hmph! Hey, wait for me!)
Liu You'er listened to the little red bird's chaotic chirping behind her, feeling the gentle breeze on her face. Suddenly, her mood brightened. She believed that this time, she would definitely protect the people she needed to protect!
In a city not far from Liu You'er
Lu Feng watched Dumpling devour various snacks with a mix of relief and a feeling of being extorted.
One week ago
"Uncle, I'm so tired. Can I lean on you?"
"Uncle, I'm hungry. Did you bring me any candy?"
"Uncle, you blah blah blah..."
"Uncle..."
"Shut up!"
Xuan Mo couldn't hold back any longer, but he noticed that the other person looked like they were about to cry at any moment. It gave him a headache; dealing with this troublesome kid was too difficult. He might as well just eat him.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the storm that was about to hit, but there was no movement. All he could hear was Dumpling running away with a "thud thud thud," which made him furious.
With so many wrecked cars on the highway, who knew how many Zombies were hiding inside? And yet, he kept running around recklessly, practically inviting trouble!
"Roar~"
Sure enough, these Zombies, starved for who knows how long, crawled out of the vehicles and charged toward Dumpling, with one even less than 30 centimeters away from him.
"Boom!"
Just as this Zombie was about to feast on its meal, it suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure weighing down on it like a mountain. In the next second, it turned into a pile of mush.
At the same time, Lu Feng rushed to Dumpling's side and scooped him up into his arms. The approaching Zombies had their heads crushed one by one, collapsing to the ground and unable to move. Before long, the highway was littered with Zombie corpses.
"What are you running around for? If you want to die, just tell me! I wouldn't have to waste my energy protecting you!"
He smacked Dumpling's bottom hard but found that the little one in his arms showed no reaction. After a moment, a sharp cry erupted from the road.
"Wah~ Brother! Boo hoo hoo~"
