Chapter 92 Back to Base
When going down the stairs, Du Jiujiu remained listless, as if she had been forced to sign an unequal treaty.
It wasn't until he heard the little boy calling his sister excitedly that he smiled a little.
"Sister, where have you been? Xiaochen is so worried about you!" The little boy ran over quickly like a little bird and hugged Du Jiujiu's waist.
Du Jiujiu rubbed his head with his free hand, leaned down slightly, and put the rice and backpack on the ground.
"Sister went to the supermarket to collect some supplies. Here, Xiaochen, this is for you." Du Jiujiu took out the sportswear given to him from her backpack.
The little boy took the clothes and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. His sister really missed him!
"Xiaochen, why are you alone here? Where are An Cheng and Qingqing?" Du Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Lin Haochen sitting alone by the stairs.
"Over there!" Lin Haochen pointed towards the depths of the subway station, "That stinky woman has been busy taking care of the injured man and has ignored me recently. Sister Qingqing has been looking after me since it rained that day.
She locked herself in the staff room, saying she had a new idea about the use of her powers, and asked none of us to disturb her."
Lin Haochen flattened his lips and said, "Sister, if you are not here, no one will accompany me."
"You little guy, don't call An Cheng a stinky woman anymore. She is older than you, so Xiaochen should call him sister." Du Jiujiu squatted down and gently scratched his nose with her index finger.
Lin Haochen struggled for a while before nodding in embarrassment.
"When sister is not busy, I will take you for a walk nearby. Xiaochen will have to slowly adapt to the apocalyptic environment." Seeing his aggrieved look, Du Jiujiu couldn't help laughing.
"Really!?" Lin Haochen opened his eyes in disbelief, and then said with a choked voice, "I thought that because I never awakened my powers, you all disliked me as a burden and were unwilling to take me with you.
"
"How could it be? My sister didn't take you with her because she was worried that you would get hurt, but in the end of the world, you have to learn to face all dangers. Superpowers are not the only factor that determines strength. I will try my best to teach you before you awaken.
Some fighting skills give you more chances to escape when facing danger." Du Jiujiu originally thought that Lin Haochen was young and didn't want him to face this prematurely. But after returning from this trip, Du Jiujiu's mood changed again
changed.
I can take care of him for a while, but I can't take care of him for the rest of my life. Who is not in danger of surviving in the apocalypse? Who can be sure that death will not fall on him?
Only by making him strong early can he find a chance to survive in the apocalypse.
"I knew you were the best to me, sister!" Lin Haochen looked up at Du Jiujiu, his big black eyes covered with a thin layer of mist, looking like a newborn puppy.
Du Jiujiu's heart melted instantly. She leaned over and rubbed his soft hair, comforting him softly for a while. Then she took Lin Haochen's hand with one hand, picked up the supplies on the ground with the other, and walked deeper into the subway station.
go.
There was only one light on in the spacious hall, barely allowing people to see clearly.
The air was still filled with the smell of a burning bonfire, probably the fire had only been extinguished not long ago.
With the dim light, Du Jiujiu could see that the bench next to the platform had been transformed into a single bed.
Luo Yucheng was lying on it, looking like he was still unconscious. An Cheng was still beside him. He seemed to be tired at this time and was leaning on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.
Hearing the footsteps, An Cheng opened his eyes slightly. When he saw it was Du Jiujiu, he immediately exhaled softly, stood up and walked to her, saying in a low voice:
"My injury is almost healed. Next time I go out, I will go with you. You didn't come back all night yesterday. Do you know how worried we are?"
Du Jiujiu smiled awkwardly, and after apologizing repeatedly, he repeated to An Cheng what he had just explained to Hu Xiaoyun.
An Cheng heard about her experience yesterday. Although he still had a straight face, there was no longer any blame in his words.
"It's good that you come back safely. Nowadays, the evolution of all kinds of creatures is so weird that it's difficult for people to guard against it. No matter how strong you are, if you encounter an ability that is exactly the same as yours, you will suffer a big loss if you are not careful. In the future, if it is not a last resort, we will
Don’t act alone anymore.”
Du Jiujiu felt the worry in An Cheng's words and nodded honestly.
For a moment, the air became quiet, and Luo Yucheng's slightly heavy breathing suddenly became particularly noticeable.
Du Jiujiu turned to look at Luo Yucheng. He still had his eyes closed tightly and his face was as pale as paper.
Du Jiujiu frowned slightly and asked An Cheng cautiously, "Forget about me, Luo Yucheng... how is your cousin? Is he feeling better?"
An Cheng shook his head, looking a little sad, "It's been so long and I haven't woken up. I had a high fever last night, and the temperature has just come down now."
Du Jiujiu leaned down and probed his forehead with the back of her hand, "Well... the temperature is not bad, and his breathing is stable. If there is no bad news, it is good news. It seems that his body is very strong. As long as he can survive the initial
A few days, so based on his recovery ability as an awakened person, as long as it takes a while, the injury will slowly recover on its own."
"I hope so." An Cheng smoothed away the broken hair hanging in front of her forehead. The two days of day and night care and worries about her loved ones made her mentally exhausted.
Seeing this, Du Jiujiu quickly helped An Cheng to another bench next to her, pressed her shoulders and made her sit down.
"You should have a good rest first. I am here! If there is any change in his injury, I will call you right away."
"Jiujiu, you must be very tired after going out this time. It's better for you to go and rest. I'm in very good condition now. It won't be a problem even if I stick to it for a few more days!"
An Cheng wanted to stand up from the chair, but Du Jiujiu's hands were still on her shoulders, and the huge force prevented her from moving.
"Why are you so polite to me? I had a good rest in the supermarket last night. The environment there is not worse than ours. I feel like I am on vacation and I am not tired at all." Du Jiujiu smiled softly.
, but the strength in his hand did not decrease by half.
"Just listen to my sister. If she gets tired, I will be there for you!" Lin Haochen, who had been silent just now, suddenly said, with a very serious expression on his slightly childish face, which made him look a bit like a man.
When An Cheng saw that even Lin Haochen, a child who had always been against her, said this, she suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded.
