Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

Rong Qi pretended not to notice Zhao Yi's strangeness, and with a gentle smile on Qing Jun's cheeks, he walked slowly towards Xiao Zecheng.In the process of walking, he roughly looked at Father Xiao who was sleeping on the bed from the corner of his eye.Xu Shi had been lying in bed for a long time, Xiao's father described him as pale and thin, and his whole body exuded a cool aura that he could not wake up from death.

Xiao Linglong followed Rong Qi step by step, clenched her hands into fists with anxiety, her eyes were wide open, watching all of Rong Qi's actions.

Seeing Xiao Linglong staring at Rong Qi like a thief, Xiao Zecheng felt displeasure in his heart. He pulled Xiao Linglong and asked, "Linglong, what are you doing?"

Xiao Linglong withdrew her gaze, looked at Xiao Zecheng's stern face, and then at Xiao Zecheng's hand holding her clothes, she suddenly understood, so her brother cares about her attitude towards Brother Rong?

Xiao Linglong blinked her eyes, her face was full of innocence, she didn't use this unreserved attitude towards Brother Rong on purpose, she was just too excited!

Xiao Linglong said: "I asked Brother Rong to see Dad. Brother Rong is so powerful, maybe with his help, Dad can wake up!"

Xiao Zecheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood a little to the side, giving Rong Qi a spacious enough seat.When Rong Qi passed by his side, when meeting Rong Qi's eyes, Xiao Zecheng conveyed all the worries in his heart.

Rong Qi sat on the chair that Xiao Zecheng sat on before, with his slender fingers resting on Xiao's father's slightly cool wrist, closing his eyes to feel Xiao's father's pulse beating.After a long time, Rong Qi opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

Xiao Linglong's expectations were all in vain, she raised the corners of her lips in disappointment, and said no more.

Rong Qi's warm gaze moved slowly, seeming to pass over Zhao Yi's body inadvertently.Although Zhao Yi's mood changed very quickly, Rong Qi still saw the relaxation in his eyes that he hadn't had time to take back.

Xiao Zecheng hugged Xiao Linglong's shoulders, and comforted softly: "Don't worry! Dad will be fine, I promise you."

Surrounded by sadness, Xiao Linglong didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Zecheng's words for the time being. She leaned against Xiao Zecheng's side for a moment, and restrained the fragility brought about by disappointment again.She is still the leader of the Kyoto base, being strong and unyielding, and facing difficulties is what she should do.

In order not to stagnate the atmosphere in the bedroom, Zhao Yi said: "Boss Xiao, didn't you say that when you return to the base, you want to show off the mutated plants you have domesticated to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Rong?"

Xiao Linglong suppressed the depression in her heart, walked out holding Xiao Zecheng's arm, and said as she walked: "Brother, Brother Rong, do you still remember the domesticated mutated plants I mentioned to you before, I will take you to see them now , it's interesting."

Rong Qi paused for a moment in Father Xiao's bedroom, then got up casually, followed Xiao Zecheng and Xiao Linglong towards the outside.

Zhao Yi's lips were tightly lined. He looked apologetically at Father Xiao who was bedridden with unpredictable life and death, and then quickly turned and left.

Zhao Yi's Zhao family and Xiao Zecheng's brother and sister's Xiao family have been friends for generations. Zhao Yi and Xiao Zecheng's brother and sister also grew up together, and their friendship is extremely deep.However, the advent of the end of the world caused Zhao Yi's parents to die unexpectedly, and also made the entire Zhao family crumbling.In order to pass on the bloodline and to survive better in the end times, the remaining Zhao family also participated in the struggle for power.

Zhao Yi didn't want to get entangled in it, but the situation couldn't be controlled.Between the family that raised him and the friends he loved deeply, he finally chose to betray his friends.

Zhao Yi thought, like Guo Qingjie and others who were ungrateful to Rong Qi, he would avenge his former brothers and friends for his own benefit.He thought that his ending should be the same as that of Guo Qingjie and the others, he would die in a bad way.

In fact, when he traveled with the rescue team some time ago, he didn't think about coming back alive.He was thinking, if he died, wouldn't he need to be in such a dilemma like now?

Xu was worried, Zhao Yi couldn't be as indifferent as before, he was afraid that Rong Qi and Xiao Zecheng, who were abnormally sensitive, would notice him, so he didn't follow the Xiao brothers and sisters to see the domesticated mutated plants.

Zhao Yicai walked down the stairs and saw Mrs. Xiao looking for something on her toes. After a little hesitation, he still stepped forward and said, "Auntie, what are you looking for? I'll help you."

Mother Xiao quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, I can still do such a small thing as looking for things." Then, she looked behind Zhao Yi, but she didn't see Xiao Zecheng and the others, so she asked again: "Ze Cheng What about Linglong and the others? Why don't you chat with them for a while, I remember when you were young, you were really inseparable."

A bit of bitterness flashed deep in Zhao Yi's eyes. Since he decided to help the family, he has drawn a line from the friendship he once had, and there will be no more intimate interactions.

Zhao Yidao: "You also said that when you were young, you wanted to be together day and night, inseparable. Now that we have grown up, we all have our own lives and thoughts. If we continue to be the same as when we were young, Mr. Rong will be unhappy gone."

Xiao's mother smiled and said: "There's nothing to be unhappy about. Your mother hugged me and made a fuss before you could crawl. To put it bluntly, you roll around, piss your pants and play in mud. What are you doing?" I haven't seen it before? In my heart, I have long regarded you as my own son. I think, in Zecheng and Linglong's hearts, I also regard you as a brother. How can there be so many relatives and friends? gap."

What Xiao's mother said, Zhao Yi knew better than anyone else.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult for him to turn back.

Facing the sincere and loving Mother Xiao, Zhao Yi couldn't bear to stay any longer. He looked away in embarrassment and said, "Auntie, I'm going back first, so I won't disturb you any more today."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he ignored Xiao's mother's persuasion, and walked out of the villa with heavy steps.

Zhao Yi didn't see that after he turned around, Mother Xiao's old face was full of tiredness and disappointment that couldn't be concealed.She looked at his back, her kind eyes were full of sadness and pain.

Mother Xiao watched Zhao Yi grow up, and she knew Zhao Yi well, so she could naturally sense the abnormalities Zhao Yi displayed.Once or twice may not make her suspect anything, but if the number of times is too many, she will guess the reason even if she is a wooden person.

The end of the world is no better than the prosperity.In the prosperous age, human beings value money and interests as well as power and status.But in the last days, everything that human beings once cared about has become insignificant in the face of struggling to survive.

What Zhao Yi did was not difficult to guess.

Mother Xiao stood in the living room for a long time, until Xiao Zecheng and the others went downstairs, she quickly wiped her face, managed to pull herself together, and smiled at each other: "You guys sit on the sofa for a while, I will be fine soon."

Xiao Linglong sniffed, smelled the fragrance and left, said as she walked, "Mom, let me help you."

Mother Xiao scolded with a smile: "Aside from eating and helping, what else will you do?"

Xiao Linglong said playfully: "My mother is so capable, all I need is to know how to eat."

Mother Xiao and Xiao Linglong's voices gradually faded away, Xiao Zecheng and Rong Qi sat on the sofa, looking at each other in silence.Xiao Zecheng had a lot to say to Rong Qi, but for a while he didn't know where to start.Rong Qi had something on his mind, so he didn't want to speak for the time being.

There was not a single noise in the huge living room, it was so quiet that Rong Qi and Xiao Zecheng could hear each other's breathing.

In the end, Xiao Zecheng still couldn't bear the feeling of "being close to each other but far away", he longed to communicate with Rong Qi, even if it was just some unnutritious topics.

Sensing Xiao Zecheng's mood swings, Rong Qi raised his eyes to stare at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zecheng sat a little closer to Rong Qi, grabbed his hand and said, "Ah Qi, I...do you dislike me going back to the capital?"

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows lightly, and jokingly said: "Why does Zecheng think so? Could it be that in Zecheng's heart, your husband is a villain who doesn't know right from wrong?"

Xiao Zecheng's handsome cheeks turned red in an instant, like the setting sun before the end of the world, it was breathtakingly gorgeous.It was the first time for Xiao Zecheng to hear Rong Qi calling himself his husband. Although there was a joke in the words, he felt extremely satisfied.

Rong Qi held Xiao Zecheng's hand back, and said: "Don't think too much, no matter what you want to do, I will support you."

Xiao Zecheng suddenly raised his head, looked straight into Rong Qi's eyes, and said, "Ah Qi, tell me, what will be the end of going against the sky if you have not completed your cultivation?"

Rong Qi said slowly: "If it is light, it will enter the six realms and step on reincarnation. If it is heavy, the soul will dissipate and disappear in ashes."

The guess in his heart came true, but Xiao Zecheng was not as at a loss as he imagined.

Xiao Zecheng was concentrating slightly, and was about to ask all the questions in his heart. He didn't want to hear Xiao Linglong yelling loudly in the kitchen: "Brother, Brother Rong, it's time to eat."

The conversation between Rong Qi and Xiao Zecheng was interrupted again, the two simply washed their hands, and gathered around the table to help set the tableware.

Mother Xiao's cooking skills are very good, and the simple ingredients make her cooking full of fragrance.At the dinner table, Xiao's mother greeted Rong Qi wholeheartedly, her words were full of kindness and concern, and she easily covered [-] to [-]% of the basic information about Rong Qi that she wanted to know.

Xiao Zecheng and Xiao Linglong looked at each other a few times, and they both saw helplessness on each other's faces.On the outside, they may have considerable dignity and reputation.But when they get home, they have to be honest with their sons and daughters.

Just after the Xiao family's lunch time, Cheng Yue and Chen Dong, who were entrusted by Xiao Linglong to manage the base, came with documents.Although the two had already heard the news that Xiao Zecheng was still alive from the rescue team, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but have red eyes and couldn't help themselves with excitement.

Chen Dong straightened up even more, and saluted his former boss: "Captain!"

Xiao Zecheng returned the salute, and after nodding his head with Rong Qi, he walked into the study together with Xiao Linglong and the others, preparing to listen in on matters related to the base.

It's not that Xiao Zecheng and Xiao Linglong don't trust Rong Qi and are afraid of leaking the secrets of the base to him, but it is necessary to maintain the superficial rules before Rong Qi officially enters the management of the base.

Since the end of the world, Xiao's mother has become used to watching her children maintain high-intensity work at home, and she knows that this long-awaited work will not end in a short time.In order not to let Rong Qi feel left out, she took the initiative to act as a guide and took Rong Qi to visit inside and outside the villa.

Xiao's mother doesn't know much about the post-apocalyptic Kyoto base, and the introduction she can give Rong Qi is also very limited.She roughly told Rong Qi what she had seen and heard in the past few months. Based on the information provided by Xiao Linglong and Xiao's mother, Rong Qi made the simplest division and summary of the distribution of survivors and the gains and losses of supplies in the Kyoto base. statistics.In the end, the actual situation of the Kyoto base was not as optimistic as it appeared on the surface.

First of all, drinking water is the biggest problem currently facing.

Groundwater sources have long been polluted and cannot be used.

After such a long period of consumption, the filling water source may have been exhausted.

As for the supernatural water source of the supernatural person, as the supernatural person advances, the supernatural water source will carry more and more energy. Ordinary survivors who cannot bear the energy may die because of drinking the supernatural water.

Rong Qi lowered his eyes, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his fingers slightly bent, and tapped his knees lightly.

With spirit crystals in hand, water purification is not difficult.

Rong Qi was thinking about the issue of drinking water. Among the important matters discussed by Xiao Zecheng and the others, water source purification was also listed at the top.

It wasn't until the sky darkened and darkness filled the air that Xiao Zecheng and the others walked out of the study with heavy expressions.
