Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 246 Baby kiss

"Qiqi, someone sent you two boxes of books."

After lunch, Qiqi and Jiji were about to go to Yueyue's house to check on the rice bucket when they saw Liu Er and Zhou Hui, who were on duty that day, walking into his house, each carrying a white storage box.

Because of their daily training, even though Liu Er and Zhou Hui are not superhumans, they are still stronger than ordinary people.

So even though the box of books was quite heavy, they didn't find it too difficult to carry.

After placing the box on the steps in front of the Bai family's main room, Liu Er said, "That person put the box down and left, saying that his sister Ying asked him to deliver it to you. Do you know him?"

Upon hearing the word "cherry blossom," Qiqi blinked, knowing who it was.

After all, not many people outside knew him, and his aunt insisted on following him and Gigi last time. Because of her superpower, which was the same as his mother's, he felt a little closer to her.

So, nine times out of ten, it was her who delivered the gifts to him.

Qiqi nodded, "It's an aunt I met outside before."

After he finished speaking, he and Gigi curiously looked down to examine the box.

Zhou Hui had already opened the storage boxes and said to the two children, "I've already checked them. Most of the books in these two boxes are comics suitable for your age, and they're all complete sets and in very good condition."

To prevent any accidents, Zhou Hui carefully flipped through most of the books when he was at the front gate.

In the end, it turned out to be just a book.

Yeah?

Comics!
Qiqi's eyes lit up. He had quite a few books at home; his mother had even bought a small bookstore's worth before. But who could ever complain about having too many comic books?
As Qiqi flipped through the books, she discovered that several of them were books they didn't have at home. She quickly turned around and shouted into the villa, "Youyou, there are new books!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps could be heard coming from the second-floor staircase.

Although Xu You is not as withdrawn as before, she still doesn't like to go out. She rarely even leaves Baiguoyuan.

My favorite thing to do every day is to read extracurricular books at home after class.

She lived in Cheng Siyun's room, and the two had a relationship as close as a mother and daughter.

"Uncle Hui, please have Jinfeng and Jinyu come over too. If they like anything, we can take turns looking at it."

The young man is good at interpersonal relationships and treats his friends equally. Anyway, they're just some books, not worth reading until they're worn out.

However, I should thank Aunt Ying someday, since I only met him once and she still thought of sending him something.

In return, he'll send Aunt Ying some fruit sometime.

Liu Ying, whom Qi Qi was thinking about, was still in that villa community in Ancheng.

A day and a half had passed since the villa complex where the Liu family lived was cleared out. Everyone else had left yesterday to go with Liu Xu to inspect and clean up other places in Ancheng. Only Liu Ying remained here.

She found the two boxes of children's comic books in one of the villas in this community, the house where Zhou Mengxiang, Liu Jianting, and Zhou Lin lived.

She hadn't planned to go over there, but Batong came over to ask her and discovered that there was a bookshelf of comic books in one of the children's rooms.

Ask her if she wants it?
Because the bookshelves have glass windows, the books are well preserved, and none of them are damaged.

Previously, Liu Ying brought back the rabbit that Qi Qi had given her, so before cleaning up Ancheng, she told Ba Tong to tell her if she saw anything suitable for a ten-year-old.

She really wanted to give the little guy a presentable and respectable gift, but she knew it wouldn't be easy. So she had to settle for second best and give him whatever she could find that was suitable.

If you cast a wide net, you're bound to find something he likes.

So in the following days, Qiqi received several more storage boxes containing toys, figurines, and even soccer balls, basketballs, and badminton rackets. Finally, she even received a small box of gold bars.

Bai Li was quite surprised.

Her son met Liu Ying by chance. Seeing that Liu Ying had no ill intentions towards Qiqi, she did not intend to interfere with their relationship, but she also did not tell her son about her relationship with Liu Ying.

Let nature take its course.

I never expected that girl would send everything to Qiqi. Books and balls are one thing, but why would she even give him gold bars?

Let's go back to Liu Ying.

She stayed behind after everyone else had left the villa complex, solely because Liu Hua was still alive.

Having had one arm and two legs broken by her, and having gone hungry for a day and a night, Liu Hua was already on the verge of death.

"Although it's not very interesting to watch you being tortured like this, what can I do? I just don't want you to die so quickly."

Looking at the disheveled woman in front of her, who was no longer recognizable as a human, Liu Ying chuckled softly, "Liu Hua, how can you be so muddle-headed? Your father has more than just you and your brother; he has far more than just these three illegitimate children. If it weren't for the apocalypse, how much of your family's wealth would you have received? Haven't you ever considered that if you were on good terms with me, would I not help you deal with your two half-sisters?"

As she finished speaking, Liu Hua, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Liu Ying laughed again upon seeing this, "Ha, you regret it now? Too bad, there's no medicine for regret. Alright, my time is precious, I won't waste it on you."

She stood up, threw the oil-soaked tattered sheet next to her onto Liu Hua, then took out a box of matches, struck one, and threw it onto the sheet.

Liu Hua's face was contorted with pain. She opened her mouth to scream, but couldn't utter a single syllable. In the end, she could only turn her head and look at Liu Ying with pain and hatred.

Bitch!

How dare she?

How could she dare to treat the Liu family like that?
Unfortunately, until she turned into a charred corpse, no one answered the questions in her heart.

Liu Ying let out a heavy breath. When she looked up at the sky, she felt that the sky was exceptionally blue, the sun was exceptionally gentle, and the wind was exceptionally cool.

In short, without the Liu family, everything in this world seems to have become so wonderful.

She burned the willow branches in the courtyard of the villa because she had slept there the night before, so she had left some things in the villa.

However, when she turned around to go back into the house to get her things, she saw a dark shadow flash across the living room and disappear in the blink of an eye.

Liu Ying was startled and took a step to chase after him, but when she reached the open window, there was no longer any shadow outside. Even the flowers, plants and trees outside the window were not swaying abnormally.

Just like the fleeting shadow she had just seen, it was her illusion.

But she knew it couldn't be.

Liu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly; she was certain that it wasn't a person.

Don't stay here for long.

She turned and walked to the sofa to get her backpack, which she had already packed.

But
Liu Ying looked at the backpack, which was now empty and zipped up, and quickly turned to look out the window.

Could her deduction be wrong, and that the dark figure was actually a person? Impossible, if it were a person, how could it be so small?
But if it wasn't a person, why would they steal the things from her bag?
She didn't actually bring much. The food in her bag was prepared for her by Cheng Le. Now all that was left were two brown sugar steamed buns, two shepherd's purse buns, half a bottle of chili sauce, and half a pot of supernatural water.

The towels and toothbrushes that were on the outside are still there, but the food and drinks inside are gone.

So this thief risked running into the villa and stole two steamed buns, two dumplings, and half a bottle of chili sauce?

Although we know that the survivors outside are having a tough time, and with so little food, it's likely to be fought over by many others, if he/she is as fast as lightning, how could they possibly worry about lacking supplies?
The speed she saw when she entered the room was even faster than the speed of the team's members.

Such a person would be highly sought-after talent no matter which base they join, so they basically don't go to bases and rely on themselves. Okay, if he/she can't farm, or can't do anything except speed, then they will indeed go hungry.

Liu Ying zipped up her backpack, quickly walked out of the villa, then went around to the window through which the dark figure had fled and began to examine it.

No matter how fast you go, you still need to put your feet on the ground eventually. She wanted to find out who this person was.

If it was a child, Liu Ying thought of Lin Zhe, who ran very fast. So she now suspected that the shadowy figure who had just stolen her things was probably a child, perhaps even younger than Qiqi and Lin Zhe.

If he/she is alone, then they can absolutely adopt him/her.

It just so happens that Cheng Le and his three friends are going to military academy, and their team doesn't have any kids to raise, so this is a perfect fit.

But to Liu Ying's surprise, as she walked outwards, she didn't find any footprints that looked like children's, but instead saw cat footprints that resembled plum blossoms.

cat?
The cat stole something?

Is that possible?
Did it grow an extra hand to steal things after the mutation?

Liu Ying didn't dwell on the issue too much; once she confirmed it wasn't a child, she left immediately.

She is not Jiang Qi; she has no affinity for animals and is afraid of fighting with it again if they encounter it again.

A cat that fast must be difficult to deal with.

As she was leaving, she suddenly remembered that Qiqi and Lin Zhe had left Shenzhen last time to look for the cat.

But we couldn't find it later. Could it be this one?
Well, whether it is or not, let's have someone pass on a message to him later. Even if it is his cat, that's still a clue.

What Liu Ying didn't know was that the glutton that Qi Qi and the others had gone out to look for that day had returned to Yunxi Village that same evening.

Of course, the steamed buns it took didn't return.

Yueyue asked if it was giving steamed buns to Xiaohei.
Of course, the rice bucket couldn't answer her, but after two or three days it would run out once, each time bringing a cloth bag of steamed buns or dumplings.

Since it was possible that the gift would be given to Xiao Hei, neither Bao Xiaolin nor Yueyue objected.

However, when there was only one cloth bag left in the house, Bao Xiaolin told it that it was fine to continue delivering things, but it had to bring the cloth bag back.

When he returned in the evening, the rice bucket was indeed carrying an empty cloth bag in its mouth.

When Qiqi received the message from Liu Ying, his first thought was that the cat that stole his Aunt Ying's things might be the same one that stole their noodles before.

After all, there can't be many cats that steal things.

He was itching to go out and see for himself.

Ancheng is currently being cleaned up. In addition to Liu Xu and Liu Ying's team, there is also a patrol team sent by the management office, which will go out to patrol at least four times a day at irregular intervals.

So there's no danger for the two children to cross over.

Besides, the people from the three major bases have already left, and within Pengcheng, no one would dare to target the two children.

Moreover, those two are not people that ordinary people can handle.

So after discussing it with Bai Li, Jiang Minglang sent the two little ones out to gain experience.

Qiqi asked his grandfather to install a basket on the back of his bicycle, which he filled with all sorts of fruit. Gigi also hung two plastic bags on his handlebars, both for Liu Ying.

Bai Li didn't say anything when she saw it. After all, her son had received so many gifts from them, so it was only right to give them a return gift.

This time, the two of them took Xiao Wu with them when they went out.

Before leaving Yunxi Village, Qiqi met Zeng Xi, who had come to look for his father, at the gate.

From afar, he raised his hand and greeted people warmly, "Uncle Zeng, you haven't left yet? When are you going back? My dad said he wants to see you off."

Zeng Xi:
That brat! If it weren't for the innocent smile on his chubby face, you'd think he was being chased away.

Of course, children say whatever comes to mind without thinking too much.

In fact, Zeng Xi is really going to pass away soon.

Through a combination of threats and persuasion, they helped drive away the visitors from the three major bases and successfully resolved the conflict between several groups over the ability users. In the end, apart from signing a contract with the paper mill and the vegetable greenhouse area, the three major bases didn't gain any other benefits.

Whether we like it or not, for now, in order to maintain a balance among all parties, we can only leave it at that for the time being.

After Zeng Xi and the others left, they started going to Baiguoyuan every day to freeload meals and to watch Jiang Minglang and the others train.

Although he had his own training system, Jiang Minglang's methods were quite different from theirs. He knew that this guy had a talent for this, and he must have developed a completely new training program to deal with the different superpowered individuals that had emerged.

Zeng Xi's main purpose for this trip was precisely this.

He has made a great achievement, so he really is going back tomorrow.

"Old Jiang, I'm serious. Talk to your sister-in-law and think it over carefully."

Jiang Minglang was speechless when Zeng Xi brought up the arranged marriage again.

He rolled his eyes at Zeng Xi. "Two little kids, not to mention my son, but your daughter, are you going to make decisions for her now? Are you sure she won't meet someone she likes when she grows up?"

Zeng Xi had already thought about this: "When Qiqi is a little older, you can send him to the Kyoto Military Academy and let him stay at my house. It will be a good opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other and develop a relationship."

He finished speaking and spread his hands, "See, how perfect the plan is."

Perfect ass!

Jiang Minglang glanced at him sideways, "Leaving aside your daughter, are you sure your wife would agree?"

"Why not? Didn't I tell you? I sent a telegram, and my wife agreed."

Zeng Xi was telling the truth; his wife did agree. After all, years ago at their class reunion, Jiang Minglang brought Bai Li along. At that time, the two hadn't had Qiqi yet, and his wife, looking at their appearance, said that their child would definitely be very good-looking.

Considering the character of both parents, their child is bound to be good.

So Zeng Xi really wasn't joking; he genuinely wanted to decide on his son-in-law in advance.

As for the children potentially not liking it or finding it unsuitable when they grow up, then we can cancel it then.

Just like him and his wife, that's how they are.
