"This is why we stay in Jiang Hai and refuse to leave... We need to contain those Fifth-Stage Zombies and prevent them from becoming stronger."
Ban Guozhi's voice was generous and passionate, filled with the spirit of a fearless warrior.
He looked up at the Flower Board, as if he could see the outside world through the concrete barrier, his face full of pride. "Do you think we want to stay in this hellhole called Jiang Hai? To be honest, no one wants to live in that cursed place. But for the future of this world, we absolutely cannot withdraw from Jiang Hai!"
His impassioned words resonated powerfully, leaving an impressive impact.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room, echoing his words for several seconds.
Then, after his speech, the two girls exchanged glances. One lay back down on the bed to continue sleeping, while the other clutched her stomach and walked out.
As she walked away, she sighed and complained, "Ugh... I'm so hungry. Is this how they treat patients? I’m going to find Sister Qingya and tell her that these people are abusing children."
Thus, the grandiose Ban Guozhi was left hanging.
He stared in astonishment at the two girls who completely ignored him, remaining silent for a few seconds before suddenly shouting again.
"What do you two little girls mean by this? Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
Keara turned back to glance at him, her cute face filled with sympathy.
"Poor old man... Why don't you just stick to dancing in the square instead of daydreaming?"
"Exactly! And such embarrassing, childish daydreams too. Acting like a kid who never grew up. Dreaming of saving the world and being a hero... How shameful. Just listening to it makes me blush."
As the two twins took turns mocking him, Ban Guozhi's expression darkened.
"You two brats better not push your luck. I've already told you what you wanted to know; now it's time for you to obediently tell me where Chu Donglin is. Don’t think you can play tricks on me. This Ark Base has already been controlled by my people; you're like fish in a barrel now. If you cooperate with me, maybe you'll suffer less. Otherwise... heh heh..."
"What else can we do? Grandpa, don't forget that the two people in front of you are capable individuals. If you provoke us, the one who will suffer will be you."
Seeing the devilish nature of Ling'er and her companion, Ban Guozhi remained unfazed and chuckled instead.
"Do you think two little kids can scare me? You’re still far from it. When I was on the battlefield with a gun in hand, your parents were probably off playing in the mud somewhere... Besides, I am Ya's father. What do you think you can do to me? Aren't you afraid of what Ya might say?"
The two girls exchanged glances. "Sister, he’s threatening us."
"Yeah. Little sister, this old man actually dares to threaten us... What should we do about him?"
"Let’s kill him."
"Sounds good! Then he’ll know how powerful we are."
"Are you going to make the move?"
"Why should I be the one to act? It was your idea to begin with; you should be the one to do it."
"I... Hmph... Even though I came up with this idea, didn’t you raise both hands in agreement? You should take responsibility for the action."
The two girls bickered for a while before suddenly stopping in unison, their faces filled with despair.
"Sister, this old man is really too wicked. He knows we won’t dare to do anything to him. How could he threaten us like this?"
"Woo... Little sister, I can’t help it. Why does this old man have to be Sister Qingya's father? Sister Qingya treats us so well; how can we possibly lay a hand on her dad?"
"Woo... Sister!"
"Little sister!"
"Sister!"
"Little sister!"
"Enough!"
Ban Guozhi's loud shout interrupted the heartfelt gaze between the two girls. With a displeased expression, he exclaimed, "You two girls, stop acting! Just give me a straightforward answer instead of dragging this out like a couple of women."
The two girls turned to look at him simultaneously, blinking their eyes.
"Sister, what does he mean by 'like a woman'... what does that even mean?"
"Keara, you fool. 'Like a woman' just means being feminine... how do you not know this? You're really clueless."
"Really? Is that so?" Keara exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth and widening her eyes as she looked at Ban Guozhi. "So when he says we act like women... does that mean he's complimenting us on being feminine?"
"Well... it could be interpreted that way."
"Hehe... it seems this old man isn't so bad after all. At least he has good taste, which is worth praising."
"............"
Ban Guozhi looked speechlessly at the two girls who were tangling themselves in their own words. He finally understood what Ban Qingya meant by "not easy to deal with."
"Alright, I admit defeat to you two kids. Let me first tell you why I'm looking for Chu Donglin, and then you can decide whether or not to tell me his whereabouts."
With an expression of surrender to these two brats, Ban Guozhi shook his head in resignation and completely gave up on resisting.
"The reason we want to find Chu Donglin isn't because we have any ulterior motives. To be honest, it's surprising that there are Zombies outside of Jiang Hai that have evolved step by step to the Third Stage purely on their own. While this is somewhat astonishing, a mere Third Stage Zombie doesn't mean much to us... even if this Third Stage Zombie retains human intelligence."
"We are looking for him to find a girl who is close to him... um... you should have heard of the name Liu Xiner, right? This girl is the daughter of Liushan Shu, a local wealthy man in Jiang Hai. However, now her entire family is dead, leaving only her and her sister in Jiang Hai as survivors."
"Her sister is named Liu Mengying. After the apocalypse began, she was struck by an Energy Crystal that fell from a planet and awakened a very powerful Ability. We all refer to her Ability as Nightmare Wasteland, claiming she is the strongest human... woman on land."
"In short, because Liu Mengying has achieved remarkable feats in Jiang Hai, she has become a pillar of the Survivor Base and enjoys immense popularity within the base. As a result, Liu Mengying was promoted to the rank of General... By the way, there are currently only two confirmed Generals alive in China. One is Liu Mengying, and the other... cough cough... is yours truly standing before you."
At this point, Ban Guozhi cleared his throat, striking a pose and pausing for the girls' astonished reactions.
But there was none.
He looked at the two girls and saw them completely engrossed in his story, staring intently at him.
"And then? Hurry up and continue."
"Yeah! What happened with Sister Mengying? Keep going!"
They showed no reaction to his status.
Ban Guozhi felt utterly deflated by this and gave up struggling, continuing to tell Liu Mengying's story.
"Later on, with my help... of course, it wasn't that I was afraid of her; I just respected her abilities. So for the greater good, I voluntarily became her deputy and made her the commander of the base."
"When I came here this time, the situation in Jiang Hai had barely stabilized. That's why I could take some time to come to Wocheng to find my daughter Ya."
"But coincidentally, Liu Mengying's family is also in Wocheng, so when I came here, I brought her along. This trip to Wocheng will also allow me to bring her parents back to Jiang Hai... if her family is still alive."
"Then while I was inquiring about Liu Mengying's family... wow, what a coincidence! Liu Mengying's sister actually knows Ya and they have a pretty good relationship. Tsk... but really, her family has been unfortunate; out of so many relatives, only one sister survived."
"I didn't know before, but now that I do, I must find Liu Xiner and bring her back to Jiang Hai to meet her sister."
"Coincidentally, Liu Xiner is Chu Donglin's girlfriend; they are a couple... Wow, thinking about it carefully, this relationship is quite messy, like a pair of blooming flowers, tsk tsk tsk..."
With a face full of uncertainty between envy and jealousy, Ban Guozhi continued, "In any case, as Chu Donglin's girlfriend, Liu Xiner must be by his side. If I want to find Liu Xiner, I need to locate Chu Donglin first. Since you two know where Chu Donglin is, I’m here to ask for your help... So, will you two girls help me?"
The two girls exchanged glances, and Ling'er suddenly asked, "Once you find Sister Xin'er, are you going to take her away? To Jiang Hai to see her sister?"
"Of course! Why else would I take her to Jiang Hai?"
Keara thought for a moment and then stepped forward to ask, "So, will you hurt Brother Donglin?"
"Hurt him? Please... To put it bluntly, a Third-Stage Zombie isn't worth my anger; he's just a minor nuisance."
Ban Guozhi wore an expression of pride and composure, as if the earlier incident where Chu Donglin had infuriated him was completely forgotten.
The two girls exchanged another glance.
"Sister..."
"Little Sister..."
"They're going to take Sister Xin'er away..."
"It seems so."
"If that's the case, won't Big Brother have to part with Sister Xin'er?"
"Yeah, how pitiful."
"Should we tell him the whereabouts of Big Brother?"
"That would be too cruel, wouldn't it? To let lovers be separated..."
The two girls exchanged glances and nodded vigorously, then turned to Ban Guozhi and spoke in unison.
"We promise you."
After a pause, Keara added, "However, the task of delivering the message will be up to us. You can provide a letter of advice at most."
Clearly, the two girls still did not fully trust Ban Guozhi.
But it no longer mattered; as long as he received this response, Ban Guozhi was already very pleased.
He laughed heartily and stood up.
"I'll contact Liu Mengying right away and tell her about her sister." (To be continued...)
