I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

It wasn't Drak who killed the noble leader, but the soldiers behind him.

“Luke…you…”

With his heart pierced by a sharp, standard-issue military knife, the noble chieftain fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief.

"Screw you nobles! I didn't join the army to serve you worms!"

The soldier who had killed the noble chief drew his sword and spat disgustedly at the fallen nobleman.

"Luwenburg is finished, and that fat pig Hall is finished too! The Emperor will not let them go. The First and Second Armies are ready to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

He looked at the infected people opposite him and dropped his weapon. The people behind him also gave up resisting.

"We are not surrendering because of you, infected."

He was looking at the tall tower, his eyes sparkling with longing.

"We bow down to the legends of Ursus."

"In any case, we ultimately succeeded in capturing Leuvenburg."

Entering the key into the core area, he truly gained control of Reuvenburg, and the young Drak announced the victory of the battle to his fellow infected.

"Collect the remains of our fallen comrades and dispose of the enemy's corpses properly. As for the prisoners... I'll leave them to you, Mr. Patriot."

"Let the craftsmen hurry up and repair the damaged walls. We also need to bring our other compatriots to the city."

The end of the battle does not mean the end of everything; on the contrary, Talulah has to deal with countless extremely tedious matters.

But before that.

“Yelena, Mr. Patriot, we should meet our friends.”

As the sun rose above the horizon, young Drak led the infected from the tundra to join the infected from the wilderness.

She extended her hand to her friends as a symbol of friendship, and warmly greeted them with sincere wishes.

"Welcome to the Reunion Movement, Bob, Mudstone."

Hui Ba A Xi

"Sister, where is Ayu?"

Years later, carrying a bowl of specially made fruit platter, he wandered around the house but couldn't find his daughter. So, scratching his head in confusion, he went to the child's mother to ask for her.

"I went to Wen Yue's place with Ah Xi."

Wearing a white shirt, Xi sat cross-legged on the sofa with a cracker in her mouth, watching the TV program with a sophisticated expression.

"Ah... what a pity, I was thinking of letting her try my secret fruit platter."

"Hey, iced melon, want some?"

Xi frowned and glanced at her sideways.

"You didn't add any weird seasonings again, did you?"

"No way! Do you think I'm some kind of mischievous kid who can't tell the occasion from the situation and acts up randomly?!"

Nian retorted loudly, looking as if I was heartbroken.

"I hope you can tell this to Ling's wine gourd."

Xi clearly remembers that when Xiao Ayu was three years old, in order to get her to quit drinking, he secretly replaced the wine in her gourd with super strong chili oil. Although it was done under the pretext of April Fool's Day in a foreign country.

"Hey... Although there were some mishaps in the process, the result was still good. Your sister isn't such a heavy drinker anymore."

Sitting next to her, to put her mind at ease, he used a toothpick to pick up a piece of watermelon and ate it.

Why do I hear people talking badly about me?

Ling suddenly appeared behind the two of them, half-lying on the sofa and putting his arms around the shoulders of the two girls.

"Haha, your sister is here."

He gave an awkward laugh and presented her with the fruit he was holding.

"Hmph... The melon is quite sweet. It's true that you have to eat something icy in the summer."

"Is that so..."

Seeing that Ling and Nian had both eaten melon, Xi was also somewhat tempted.

It's May, and the scorching summer heat continues to encroach on people's living environment.

Even the cool, refreshing ice cubes couldn't dispel the heat.

And chilled fruit...

Xi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

"o(╥﹏╥)o"

"You two..."

Xi Suan frowned and clenched her fists, repeatedly pounding the sofa.

"Hahaha! Lemon-flavored watermelon, isn't it delicious, sis!"

Seeing that she had finally fallen for it, Nian stopped swallowing silently and burst out laughing.

"asshole……"

Xi rushed over and grabbed her collar, wanting to teach her a lesson. Nian, naturally unwilling to be pinned down, reached back to grab her tail, and the two wrestled around, their red and blue tails tumbling up and down.

"Stop fooling around, stop fooling around, Xiaoxi, Xiaonian. Get ready, we'll have guests coming soon."

Ling watched them play with a smile, trying to persuade them, but his smile was incredibly bright.

"Hmm? Who wants to come?"

"...We've arrived."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the doorbell rang.

"Everyone's here, why did it take so long to open the door?"

Under the strange gazes of his two younger sisters, the older brother carried a wooden box into the house.

Why are you here?

"Weren't you in the capital? How did you manage to escape at this crucial moment?"

"I'm here to talk business."

The elder brother leaned out of the room and looked on with curiosity.

"Stop looking, Ayu isn't home."

Xi's words made her brother sigh with regret.

"What a pity, I even brought a gift for Ayu."

"Wait... does that mean Ah Xi isn't home either?"

"Yes, you've come at a really bad time."

He chuckled and reached out his hand as if asking for it.

"But it's okay, just keep the gift and the sentiment."

"...Then can I, as the uncle, stay?"

"My family doesn't keep idle people around."

"Yes, there's no place for idlers."

Xi Ke still remembers how many wrong paths she took because of this troublesome older brother.

This grudge must be avenged...

"Alright, sit down for a while. Ah Xi will be back soon."

Ling winked at them, and the two women, pressured by their elder sister's authority, had no choice but to step aside and let their brother enter the living room.

"Is this... a family event?"

Looking at the large plate of chilled fruit on the living room table, the older brother asked with great interest.

"Yes, yes. You've come at the perfect time. We just made this; we were planning to have it as a side dish while watching a movie."

Xi pushed the fruit plate to the other side of the table, as if to say, "You can't touch it."

"Hmm... I'll be sad if you do that, Eleven."

"Who cares about you?"

"..."

The group sat around the table, staring at the fruit platter without saying a word; the atmosphere was not very friendly.

"Speaking of which..."

The elder brother brought up a topic.

"In the blink of an eye, Ayu is already five years old."

"Yes. When the little guy was born, he was chubby and fair-skinned. He wouldn't let go once Ah Xi held him, and he would cry when he was let go. Xiao Xi was so attached to Ah Xi that she got jealous."

She picked up the conversation, and her words successfully changed the mood of the people present.

“Ah Yu is much more well-behaved than some silly girl; she even gives gifts to her aunt.”

Nian poked Xi, but unexpectedly, the other party raised its head triumphantly.

"Of course, it doesn't matter whose child it is."

"but……"

The elder brother paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

"When this little guy gets mischievous, he's no less so than Ah Xi was back then."

"Oh? Tell me more!"

The year instantly brought a surge of energy.
