Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

The three embarrassed men were still in shock, but the battle was already over.

More than 200 zombies were wiped out. Quickly! Accurately! Ruthlessly! And cleanly and environmentally friendly!

After that, Huang Qian took the opportunity to use vines to quietly roll up the crystal core of a mutant zombie and two ordinary zombie crystal cores and handed them over to Cheng Jing.

They had encountered other human teams along the way, but none of them were collecting zombie crystal cores like them.

According to Jiang Nian, there are still only a few zombies that possess crystal cores. There must be some zombies with special abilities, and the situation with ordinary zombies depends on the situation.

Therefore, most people don’t know about the existence of zombie crystal cores and will not collect them deliberately.

It will take some time until most psychics advance and form crystal cores before they discover that the same is true for zombies.

The reason their team knew this was because Cheng Jing got two of them when he was dealing with Xiaoya's parents.

And Jiang Nian also told everyone:

Mutant zombies are transformed from people infected with superpowers. Their crystal core is in the dantian in the lower abdomen. The crystal core of ordinary zombies is in the head. They are formed after ordinary people evolve into zombies and need to be taken out by opening their heads.

They had tried it along the way and it was true. As for how the 'living father' knew it, no one asked.

Jiang Nian has a secret, and everyone knows it, but they all tacitly agree not to pursue the matter or ask any further questions.

"..."

"I'm saved, thank you..."

The older man stepped forward to thank them, and the two young men who were supporting him bowed in gratitude.

"You're welcome. We have to pass through here too, and it will be easier without you."

After Lu Ningzhou finished speaking, he casually asked about their situation.

It turns out that the three are a family. The father Li Kaiyun, the son Li Liang is a sophomore, and the daughter Li Shuhui is a freshman.

Originally, their family of four and their neighbor's family of three went to the base together, but they didn't expect to encounter zombies with special powers, and in the end they were the only ones left.

Zhao Lei glanced around and saw Cheng Jing checking the time, so he waved his hand with a discerning look:

"Okay, problem solved, let's pack up."

The frightened girl spoke quickly:

"You are so powerful, can you take us with you? You should be going to the base as well, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Lei and Huang Qian in panic.

"..."

When Li Liang heard his sister say this, he did not agree, but looked at his father.

No one answered, and no one agreed. Huang Qian and Zhao Lei subconsciously looked at Cheng Jing. In this kind of world, excessive compassion can easily harm oneself.

Even though Jiang Nian was so easy to talk to, he would refuse without hesitation anyone who wanted to travel with them.

Li Kaiyun realized that Cheng Jing was the one who spoke, and immediately came up to him and said sincerely:

"We have a car, we just need to follow you and not take up your resources."

After finishing, seeing Cheng Jing's expression eased, he added:

"I know that life in this world is not easy for anyone. Unless we encounter something like today, we will never cause trouble for you."

Cheng Jing was not a cold-blooded person. He was tolerant of the other party's understanding. He looked at the earnest old father in front of him and replied:

"Wait a moment..."

After saying that, he was about to call Jiang Nian in the car to explain the situation, but when he looked up, he saw the man walking towards him with Xiaoya, so he put his phone away again.

Seeing Li Kaiyun's surprise, Tang Yi kindly reminded him:

"We have the final say on fighting, but Brother Nian has to make all other decisions."

"Okay...ok, thank you."

Although Li Kaiyun was surprised, he actively pulled his children forward and told Jiang Nian what he had just said and his own situation.

Jiang Nian nodded and asked calmly:

"We are going to the South City Base. Where are you going?"

We have passed L Base, and the closest bases along this main road are K Base and South City Base.

"What a coincidence. We are also going to the South City Base. My nephew is a soldier and is serving in the South City Base."

Li Kaiyun answered a little excitedly, looked at the two pale-faced children and said:

"We originally set off early because we thought the South City base was far away, but we didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

"Oh……"

Jiang Nian understood, exchanged glances with Cheng Jing and his teammates, and nodded:

"Okay, since you are also going to the South City Base, let's go together."

He had no objection to bringing people along, but the prerequisite was that the people along had to be useful to them in addition to not being a burden.

For example, it would be nice to have acquaintances in the base you are traveling to together.

Favors need to be reciprocated, otherwise they are just free stuff.

This is also why, although they have helped many people along the way, it was only to the extent of convenience and there was no excessive care.

As long as you are sure that you can protect yourself, a little effort will not have much impact. Of course, the premise is that the other party is sensible and well-mannered.

Those who want to gain their protection by playing the victim and pretending to be pitiful and using moral blackmail are totally dreaming!

……

Li Kaiyun thanked Jiang Nian, drove the car to check it, and buried the neighbor's family with his children.

Afterwards, the father and his two sons discussed it and walked towards Cheng Jing, asking through the car window:

"We want to take my wife to the base. Could you please help...with the cremation?"

Li Kaiyun's voice choked up as he spoke, and his son's eyes were red. They were still trying to restrain themselves, but Li Shuhui was already leaning on her brother's shoulder and crying heart-wrenchingly.

Cheng Jing did not refuse and got out of the car and left with them.

Jiang Nian felt bad, Xiaoya's eyes were red, tragedy was everywhere, and it even caught people off guard when it came.

Cheng Jing controlled the temperature of the fire just right, and when he was done, he stepped aside to allow them to release their emotions.

The atmosphere became heavy, with only the sound of cold wind and suppressed crying.

After putting his wife's ashes in an ordinary box, Li Kaiyun took out food from the car and asked his children to sit down and eat. Even if they couldn't eat more, they had to feed them a little. They had consumed a lot of energy, and it was not convenient for them to stop casually after setting off and following others.

However, their supplies were originally placed in three vehicles, and most of them are now gone.

In order to make it to the base, we tried to save food as much as possible. We shared a packet of instant noodles among three people, and mixed the seasoning packet with water and put it in a bottle so that we could drink it on the way.

Jiang Nian has been observing them, especially Li Kaiyun's attitude towards his children.

When Jiang Nian saw that Li Kaiyun only left him a thumb-sized piece of bread, he took out three self-heating lunch boxes, some snack bread, some wound patches and medicine from the car and walked over:

"We will set off soon and won't stop until night. You won't be able to bear it. Eat it as a gift for our destiny. After eating, take care of your wounds."

"Thank you. We will remember it. When we get back to the base, we will definitely pay you back double..."

Li Kaiyun didn't hesitate to take the things and gave them to his children with red eyes.

"Uncle Li, let me call you this. Just like you said, this world is not easy for anyone, but we have to help each other along the way, so don't think too much... You don't have to pay these back."

Jiang Nian looked at the tall man and suddenly felt sad for no reason. Li Kaiyun had a cold and sharp look and looked like a strong person.

But it was this stranger who suddenly made the concept of fatherly love in his heart clear:

This is what a father is like. No matter how cold and strong he looks, he will protect his children behind him without hesitation in times of crisis...

A real father will never dislike his children, no matter what time, right?

He was the only one who was rejected by his own father before he was even born.

His eyes felt a little sore, and Jiang Nian chatted casually with Li Liang and Li Shuhui for a few minutes before returning to the car.

It is true that he was impressed by the connections of the three members of the Li family in the base, and it is also true that he admired Li Kaiyun.
