"Don't even think about running away! What will happen to my child if you run away?"

"Please help us out. All the alien species in this area listen to my lover. We haven't harmed humans for a long time. If humans hadn't stolen our child, we would still be in the mountains."

"If you return the child to us, I will let you go immediately and never leave the mountain again."

"It's no use telling me all this. I'm just passing by on business. You should talk to the person in charge."

"Besides, if you're asking them to return your child, you should describe what the child looks like and when the child went missing. If you don't say anything, aren't you just making things more difficult?"

The beauty recounted the whole story in detail.

"A one-month-old baby? That's not right. It's the end of March now, and the apocalypse has only lasted a little over eight months. How can the baby be a month old?"

"It should be a shorter pregnancy cycle than that of humans. She gave birth after five months of pregnancy. The check-up showed that she was healthy, but there was a slight tendency to be premature."

Yan Shi blinked, even with his limited knowledge, he felt it was illogical.

Zhuang Zhao relayed the beautiful mother's words to Si Yue, who immediately narrowed down the search but couldn't find a baby that matched the description.

So he called over all the people in charge of things in the Ninth District and asked them directly who had recently stolen or found a child.

“If no one admits it, report them. If I find them, prepare your family’s coffins and burn them together.”

Those below looked at each other, but no one uttered a sound.

"Alright, I'll be back in ten minutes. If no one says anything after that, you don't need to prepare coffins anymore. Just turn to ashes on the spot."

Si Yue left the room, stood at the door and lit a cigarette. Just as he lit it, his phone rang. Several text messages had come in over the past few days, with similar content.

I heard that Xue Gui's family found a baby in the mountains; the baby is only a few months old.

The sound of a child crying could be heard coming from the Xue family home.

[In the Xue family's basement.]

"Go to the Xue family's residence, find the basement, and you go with him," Si Yue instructed his nephew Si Li, and also had the alien Kui Mei follow along.

With half a cigarette left, he stubbed it out and went back inside, burning Xue Gui to ashes.

"Let's call it a day."

The others trembled and dared not utter a sound.

Sili quickly sent the photos to Siyue, who then forwarded them to Zhuang Zhao. After confirming that the beauty was correct, Siyue drove the baby there.

Whether it was hunger or discomfort, the baby kept crying, which annoyed Si Yue to no end. He suppressed the urge to make the baby shut up quickly time and time again, and finally decided to fight fire with fire by playing loud music to drown out the baby's crying.

Then the baby stopped crying.

As darkness fell, they arrived just in time. Meiren and Yan Shi were already waiting at the door. Si Yue carried the baby over with one hand. Meiren rushed forward but was pulled back by her lover. The baby's father and Yan Shi walked over together, and the hostages were exchanged.

"Qin Ke, who gave you the courage to kidnap Yan Shi?" Si Yue said in a deep voice, with an air of "Believe it or not, I'll burn you all down."

"I had no other choice. If I didn't use her to blackmail you, how could you possibly find the baby and return it to me?"

"Don't even think that your little flame can hurt me. This time you humans attacked first, so we're even. If you touch my child again, I'll flatten everything I can." The beauty completely overwhelmed Si Yue, abandoning her gentle and weak demeanor in front of Yan Shi, making him seem like a younger brother.

"Whatever, I don't care about other people's lives or deaths, but not hers."

The beautiful woman's expression suddenly became ambiguous.

"I certainly won't mess with the little sister who's being fought over by everyone else."

Yan Shi: Can you two stop reminiscing? What nonsense are you talking about?

"Are we going or not? It's getting dark." Yan Shi had already pulled Zhuang Zhao into the carriage, and after waiting for a while, Si Yue still hadn't gotten in. They were even thinking of leaving him behind and going ahead.

I let Sangzhi know I was safe and we agreed to leave again tomorrow.

Sangzhi: Yan Shi is definitely a master of being caught in the crossfire; every day is a day of unexpected disasters.

The journey resumed without incident, and they returned safely to District Seven. Yan Shi collapsed onto his bed, marveling that his own little nest smelled the best.

Sangzhi didn't go back to the Sang family home. She stayed in Yanshi's room for the night. Going home to see her parents and brothers would require some courage, at least more than when she eloped.

After catching up on her sleep, Zhuang Zhao first went to pick up the cat from Han Yan's place, then went to see Quan Hou. When she returned, Yan Shi had already taken Sang Zhi to the night market.

The room was dark, and he didn't turn on the light. He pushed open the door and entered Yan Shi's room, holding the pineapple-shaped doll that she usually slept with. He lay down on her bed with her pillow as a pillow and fell asleep in no time.

Yan Shi and Sang Zhi came back and chatted and laughed without waking him up. Yan Shi got hot, went into the room, turned on the light, and started taking off his clothes. He only realized Zhuang Zhao was in bed after he had unbuttoned all the buttons.

So Yan Shi turned off the light and changed into his pajamas in the dark.

"Why did you turn off the lights?" Sangzhi had just bought some wine and was looking for ice cubes in the refrigerator to use for drinking later.

"Zhuang Zhao is asleep in my room," Yan Shi said, lowering his voice slightly.

"I suddenly realized that I'm superfluous, so maybe I should just sleep in the living room."

"That won't do, there are other people in the house."

Who is it?

"Madman Quan Hou, a crazy pervert who loves zombies."

"Male or female?"

"A man."

"I like you?"

"They like to dissect me."

"Isn't there anyone normal around you?"

Is Zhuang Zhao not normal?

Sangzhi shook her head.

"Although not as obviously as Si Yue, he is definitely not normal. He seems a bit indifferent to himself."

"That's not wrong, but I think it's quite normal. It's abnormal to do anything to survive."

Before they could finish talking, the snacks were laid out on the table, and the wine was poured. The two girls smiled at each other, raised their glasses, and drank together.
