Chapter 104 Tadpole Looking for Brother
The tall buildings stand like the skeletons of giants, in ruins under the gray sky.

Wherever Feng Heng looked, he found that the glass windows had already shattered, leaving only rusty steel bars whimpering in the wind.

Li Chenjun held Lu Zhizhi in his arms, while the others stood on guard on both sides. They walked on the street. The air was filled with a mixed smell of decay and dust. The occasional drizzle was mixed with ashes. Weeds grew tenaciously from the cracks, becoming the only remains of mankind left.

"This should be a city," said Gashi.

Obviously, this is a city in ruins.

The once bustling highway is now clogged with abandoned vehicles, covered in rust and vines. The billboards on the roadside are still recognizable, but have long lost their color.

Suddenly, an unknown creature jumped out from under the car, making low hissing and guttural sounds from its throat, and quickly bit towards Li Chenjun's calf.

'boom--'

Feng Heng was the first to fire a shot, blowing the guy’s head off.

Li Chenjun covered Lu Zhizhi's head with his hands and moved sideways away from the pool of dirt.

Jiashi walked over and squatted, poking the dead unidentified creature with his gun, and found that the creature's skin was a sickly grayish white or rotten green, covered with wounds and signs of decay, as if it would peel off the skeleton at any time, and its eyeballs were already shattered in the eye sockets.

“This looks like a person.”

The reason why the word "seems" is used is because this thing cannot really be called a human being because it has been completely deformed and rotten.

"It's a zombie." Feng Heng kicked the zombie's head and recalled: "This kind of thing was mentioned in interstellar history. About 20,000 years ago, this thing appeared on a planet called Earth."

Jiashi looked at the zombie's brains flowing out and looked away in disgust, "So, this is what we came here to do 20,000 years ago?"

This is what Lu Zhizhi heard after she regained consciousness.

She slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and her nostrils were filled with the smell of decay and ashes. The smell was so familiar that she thought she had returned to the end of the world where she and her brother depended on each other.

"Zhizhi."

Li Chenjun was the first to notice that she had woken up, and the other men also came over.

"Are there any discomforts?"

Lu Zhizhi rubbed her eyes, and the first thing she saw was not the nervous faces of Li Chenjun and the others, but the familiar street scenes around her.

"Here is the end of the world, eighteen years ago."

She got down from Li Chenjun's arms, walked forward a few steps, and looked at the ruined streets around her with a dazed look on her face.

Kashi asked, “Have you been here before?”

She nodded, "This is my home."

To be precise, it is the city where she was born.

The year Lu Zhizhi was born was the first year of the apocalypse. She didn’t remember anything at the time, and many things were told to her by her brother.

Feng Heng was puzzled, "You were born in the Lu family, how can this be your home?"

She was about to explain when she suddenly saw a red dot between Feng Heng's eyebrows.

Lu Zhizhi pushed Feng Heng away, and gunshots rang out.

It's a sniper rifle.

Within a few seconds, Hector hid behind the car holding Lu Zhizhi, Li Chenjun and Feng Heng stood back to back with guns and scanned the surroundings, and Jiashi raised his gun and scanned the sky through the scope.

"Found you, trash."

Gashi fired a shot, and the blue beam directly knocked the person climbing on the top floor down.

The man fell onto the roof of the basement of the building and survived.

Jiashi was about to fire another shot, but he heard Lu Zhizhi's surprised voice: "Brother——"

Before everyone could react, they saw Lu Zhizhi running towards the person lying on the ground like a happy little bird.

"Brother, are you okay?"

She wanted to help him up, but the other party grabbed her neck and pointed a gun at her temple.

"Don't come over here! If you take a step forward, I'll kill her!"

The veins on the back of Chen Yu's hands bulged, and he pinched Lu Zhizhi so hard that she could hardly breathe.

He saw the four men opposite him raise their guns above their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on the girl in front of him.

"Brother, I'm Zhi. Zhi. Ahem."

Chen Yu didn't know why this girl came here inexplicably, but he had to stay alive. His sister was still waiting for him at home. He couldn't die. If he died, how would his sister survive in this world alone? He didn't want to hurt Lu Zhizhi, so he relaxed his grip a little to let her breathe.

Li Chenjun said in a deep voice: "If you let her go, I will be exchanged as a hostage."

Chen Yu snorted coldly, "I am no match for any of you, and there is no way I can exchange hostages. If you come, I will die."

"They won't hurt you." Lu Zhizhi said.

"Why should I believe you?"

Lu Zhizhi said to Li Chenjun, "Put down your guns."

Jiashi frowned, "But."

"Put it down." She was firm.

Hector was the first to drop his gun at his feet, his eyes following her closely.

Even without guns, they still had super powers. Although the other party was an ordinary human, using super powers on humans would be punished by the Sentinel Association, but they could no longer care so much. So Li Chenjun, Feng Heng, and Jia Shi also put down their guns.

Lu Zhizhi simply leaned her head on Chen Yu's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child, "Brother, look, they all listen to me. I won't hurt you."

Chen Yu looked at the girl with a complicated expression, "I'm not your brother."

"You are. I won't make a mistake. Although I don't know why you don't remember me, I always remember you, brother. I always remember you, so you are still alive."

Chen Yu didn't understand what she was saying, but he loosened his arm holding the gun slightly, moving the muzzle a little further away from her.

"Just follow me obediently, and I will let you go when I am safe."

"No problem." Lu Zhizhi smiled obediently.

Chen Yu looked at her with even more complicated eyes. He didn't understand how this girl survived in the apocalypse and how she trusted others so easily.

So he took Lu Zhizhi back to the base, and Li Chenjun and others kept a distance from them.

Lu Zhizhi was chatting with him the whole way, and had no sense of being a hostage at all.

"Brother, what month is it now?"

"August."

"The osmanthus tree in the base is in bloom."

Doubt flashed across Chen Yu's eyes, "You've been to the base? Impossible."

There were only a few people in the base, and he knew them all, but had never seen her.

"I've already said that my brother and I grew up in the base."

Chen Yu looked at her without saying anything.

"Brother, please don't take on any more food-hunting missions recently."

Lu Zhizhi remembered that it was probably in September when her brother was bitten by a zombie after he went out to find food.

Chen Yu didn't respond to her, and she didn't know whether he heard her or not.

As the group walked to the gate of the base, they saw a girl standing on the tower above the gate and waving at Chen Yu vigorously.

Lu Zhizhi heard her shouting: "Brother——"

She turned to look at Chen Yu's expression, only to see that his tense face softened and he waved to the girl on the tower.

"who is she?"

"My sister, Chen Xing."

Lu Zhizhi's eyes were a little sour, and she asked unwillingly, "Did you pick her up too?"

Chen Yu was puzzled, "My biological sister."

After saying that, he saw the corners of the girl's eyes drooping and the tip of her nose red, as if she was about to cry.

He panicked for a moment, untied the rope around her wrists, and said, "Go away, I won't hurt you."

Lu Zhizhi, with tears in her eyes, looked at him and cried loudly.

She cried and sobbed, frightening Feng Heng so much that he ran over immediately. He grabbed Chen Yu by the collar and asked, "What did you do to her?"

Li Chenjun had already hugged Lu Zhizhi in his arms. Jiashi kept checking her body for any wounds. Seeing that the finger marks on her neck had not yet disappeared, he wanted to kill her. Hector's tail was stretched straight, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at the tower above the base with a hunting look, which frightened Chen Xing so much that her face turned pale.

Lu Zhizhi cried and said, "I won't leave! I am also your sister, why are you chasing me away!"
