The giant hammer that Wenren Lei was holding in mid-air suddenly stopped, and even the rocket launcher stopped firing grenades.

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and the sound of two footsteps grew clearer and clearer.

"Brother..." Wenren Lei called out the word subconsciously, slowly turning her head to look over.

In the thick fog, a slender and tall figure could be vaguely seen. The wind blew by, and the ends of his hair, which hung down to his waist, fluttered gently.

The giant hammer slipped from his grasp and landed on the ground with a thud, grazing Qiao Lang's face and causing the ground to tremble slightly. Qiao Lang was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he silently crawled away from the giant hammer.

Wenren Lei staggered forward two steps, her breath caught in her throat, and stood there staring longingly at the shadow in the mist.

Wenren Yu slowly emerged from the mist, a gentle smile playing on her lips, and opened her arms to Wenren Lei: "Don't you recognize your brother?"

Tears streamed down her face. Wenren Lei, her lips trembling, staggered towards Wenren Yu, crying out, "Brother... Brother!"

As she approached, Wenrenlei's legs gave way, and she collapsed forward.

Wenren Yu walked quickly forward, knelt down on one knee, caught Wenren Lei, and held her in his arms.

Wenren Lei clutched Wenren Yu's clothes tightly, wailing, "Brother... Brother..."

"Brother is here."

Fu Yan watched this scene and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He turned and walked to Qiao Lang's side, stopped breathing to strip him of his supernatural abilities, tied him up, and threw him into the snow. He also thoughtfully placed a chair behind Wenren Yu before retreating to a safe distance.

Wenren Yu glanced at Fu Yan indifferently, feeling that this man's motives were impure, but still sat down in the chair with Wenren Lei in her arms.

Hearing Wenren Lei's heart-wrenching cries, Wanzi carefully tugged at Fu Yan's trouser leg. He squatted down, rubbed the puppy's head, and whispered, "It's okay, he's happy."

He noticed a blank-faced man following behind Wenren Yu; it must be Gu Zhengming. Fu Yan chuckled, hooked the puppy's chin, and said, "Your dad's going to beat someone up later."

Wenren Yu placed Wenren Lei on her lap, gently wiped away his tears with her palm, and peeked at his face: "Who bullied my little golden bean like this?"

"No, don't call me that... by that name," Wenren Lei sobbed, refusing intermittently.

Wenren Yu nodded slowly: "Oh, you've grown up." He gestured with his chin towards Qiao Lang on the ground, "Why didn't you just smash him to death with a hammer?"

"You... kill him yourself. He... he cheated on you." Wenren Lei didn't want to spare a single glance for Qiao Lang, tightly gripping Wenren Yu's clothes, as if afraid he would run away.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu." Qiao Lang on the ground suddenly crawled forward, his cheek pressed against Wenren Yu's shoe, hurriedly explaining, "I didn't, I didn't betray you."

Wenren Yu acted as if she hadn't heard, and carefully wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Wenren Lei's eyes.

Wenren Lei glanced down at the humble Qiao Lang, sobbing as she corroborated, "He's lying. The black market owner himself admitted it; they're lovers."

Wenren Yu asked curiously, "Is that so?"

"Mmm." Wenren Lei nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face again, leaving her face, which she had just wiped clean, covered in tear stains once more.

Wenren Yu patiently wiped away his tears. Once Wenren Yu's tears had subsided, she tilted her head, lifted Qiao Lang's chin with her foot, and looked him up and down, asking, "Why are you in such a sorry state?"

Qiao Lang pressed close to his calf: "Brother Yu, where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so foolish as to trick you into coming to the lab."

Wenren Yu kicked Qiao Lang away with a slight push of his toe, a faint smile on his lips: "Qiao Lang, if you want to see me, you should stay at the research institute in Qinggang and wait for me to come back and settle accounts with you." He looked up and surveyed the desolate wilderness, "instead of secretly moving the research institute to this godforsaken place. It's really made me look for you."

Qiao Lang scrambled back up and grabbed Wenren Yu's trouser leg, pleading almost in despair, "Brother Yu, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again. Please don't say that, I don't want to be your enemy, please forgive me, let's start over, okay?"

Wenren Lei felt a strange unease. He thought Qiao Lang was morbid, but when he turned to look at his brother’s indifferent yet charming appearance, he felt that Qiao Lang’s reaction was quite normal. It was only natural for a person to want to be his brother’s dog.

But Wenren Lei was a man of principle. He hugged Wenren Yu tightly, blocking Qiao Lang's view, and accused him, "Brother, don't listen to his pretentious act. He's just after your looks. The mistress he found looks exactly like you! And she's so young!"

Wenren Lei cried so hard that a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Wenren Yu gently wiped them away, saying tenderly, "Brother knows."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Lang suddenly roared at Wenren Lei, startling the unprepared Wenren Lei.

Seeing this, Wenren Yu gently lifted Wenren Lei with her leg to comfort her.

Qiao Lang quickly rubbed his face against Wenren Yu's trouser leg and hurriedly explained, "Brother Yu, you have to believe me. Nothing happened between me and that person. I was just using his identity to do things for me."

Wenren Yu frowned slightly, then kicked Qiao Lang five meters away: "You scared my brother." He looked at Wenren Lei and asked softly, "Your brother taught you how to deal with someone who has betrayed you?"

Wenren Lei shed a few more tears and secretly rubbed them against her older brother: "Kill him."

"So smart." Wenren Yu rubbed his head, turned her head and said calmly, "Gu Zhengming."

"No!" Qiao Lang crawled desperately toward Wenren Yu, "Brother Yu, please..."

Gu Zhengming walked up to Qiao Lang, took out a pistol from his pocket, aimed it at Qiao Lang's forehead, and pulled the trigger decisively.

Wenren Lei looked at Qiao Lang, who had stopped struggling on the ground, and asked with a pout, "Brother, what did he do to you in the lab?"

"He wanted to use me for crystal core experiments, so I ran away." Wenren Yu rested her elbows on the armrests of her chair, propping her chin up as she looked at Wenren Lei.

His own child was still fair and chubby, and judging from the weight, hadn't lost any weight. It seemed that he was being taken good care of. He gave Fu Yan a look, which was a compliment.

Fu Yan and Wenren Yu locked eyes for a second. Fu Yan instinctively felt that Wenren Yu was lying about the crystal core experiment. Qiao Lang must have another reason for wanting to bring him into the research institute.

"Then you really are..." Wenren Lei sighed, sobbing, "You've had bad luck in choosing the right person."

Wenren Yu nodded: "My eyesight is bad."

"Then what happened to him?" Wenren Lei looked at Gu Zhengming.

This man had sharp eyebrows and eyes, three-dimensional features, a neat slicked-back hairstyle, and thin lips. He acted arrogantly and was clearly not a good person.

What Wenren Lei resented even more was that at the beginning of the apocalypse, this person deliberately concealed his brother's whereabouts, a debt Wenren Lei had never forgotten.

"He was my savior." Wenren Yu pinched Wenren Lei's cheek. "Don't you remember him?"

Wenren asked tearfully, "Should I remember him?"

Wenren Yu covered her mouth and chuckled: "You've forgotten. On New Year's Eve when you were seven, he came to visit and took you to set off firecrackers in the yard, which knocked out two of your front teeth. You cried for days, saying you would get revenge on him when you grew up. Now the opportunity has come, go for it."
