Bang bang bang bang, bang bang, several gunshots rang out, and an unexpected change occurred.

The two men turned their guns on their companions, and all four were killed on the spot.

The two flying ability users reacted quickly, retreating as they went, shouting, "How dare you, Thursday..."

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling broke free from their control and attacked the two of them simultaneously.

Pei Nansheng unleashed a fireball, while Zuo Ling shot an ice arrow. In terms of pure attack power, Zuo Ling's ice ability was stronger than Pei Nansheng's fire ability.

A flying ability user was pierced by more than a dozen ice arrows and died on the spot before he could even make a sound.

The other person's wing was hit by a fireball, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

The two, caught in an internal conflict, seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of fire, eliminating the last flying ability user.

In an instant, only the brother and sister and the two fighting amongst themselves remained at the scene.

Although they had killed their own comrades, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, so Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling were on high alert.

On Thursday, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and smiled gently, saying, "It is an honor for my brother and me to repay the life-saving grace we received back then."

A life-saving grace? Zuo Ling looked at Pei Nansheng; she couldn't recall ever doing anything like this.

Pei Nansheng was also confused. Was this true? Although he wasn't a bad person, he didn't remember saving anyone's life.

Another person hinted: "Behind the Ding family's mountain, you two saved two people who were on the verge of death."

Back then, when he found two experimental subjects in the Ding family laboratory, Pei Nansheng remembered his tragic experiences in his previous life. He took a moment to soften his heart, rescued the people, left them some food, and then left.

Unexpectedly, the two not only survived, but also entered the Jin family.

"So it was you!"

Zuo Ling asked, "Are you from the Jin family?"

Thursday: Shaking head

“No, when you rescued us back then, we were still conscious, but we couldn’t speak. However, we remember your face clearly. We never thought we would repay you. Please accept our bow.”

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling quickly helped him up:

"No, no, thanks to you two, my brother and I escaped from our enemies. We're even now."

Thursday was very humble:

"Even if we don't make a move, our benefactor will surely find a way to escape. We seized the initiative because we don't want to die at our benefactor's hands."

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling developed a strong liking for the Zhou brothers for saving lives without taking credit.

Pei Nansheng asked, "If you let us go back, what are your plans?"

Thursday:

“We brothers have had a bad time. First, we fell into the hands of the Ding family, and then we were tricked by the Jin family and had no choice but to rely on them. The Ding family is a den of wolves, but the Jin family is even worse than the Ding family. We brothers will have a bright future ahead of us and will surely find a way to survive.”

He cupped his hands in farewell and prepared to leave.

Zuo Ling called out to them and pulled out two boxes of compressed biscuits and several buckets of luncheon meat from the overturned SUV.

"Take it with you to eat on the road."

It had been more than two years since the apocalypse, and food was scarce. The two brothers were subordinates in the Jin family, and the supplies they received were pitifully small. With this food in hand, the road ahead would be smoother, and the two brothers were very happy.

"Thank you, may our friendship last forever, until we meet again."

Watching the departing figure, Zuo Ling asked Pei Nansheng:

"Can you tell what kind of superpowers they have?"

Pei Nansheng shook his head: "They didn't use their superpowers. It seems that the experiments at the Ding family back then damaged their foundation."

Zuo Ling clicked her tongue in regret. Despite suffering heavy losses at the hands of the Ding and Jin families, she still managed to maintain a shred of kindness. Hopefully, their future will be easier.

Pei Nansheng used his fire power to burn the six corpses to ashes.

If they discover that a group of men is missing, the Jin family will surely come to investigate. This place is not safe to stay any longer; we must leave immediately.

The off-road vehicle was deformed and could no longer be used. Zuo Ling put another off-road vehicle into the storage space.

Half a day later, I met up with Xiao Hao.

"Brother, sister."

Seeing his older brother and sister return from afar, Xiao Hao happily ran off the doomsday chariot.

Xueye and the waterfall ran faster than Xiaohao. The waterfall plunged into Zuo Ling's arms and whimpered pitifully, while Xueye circled around Pei Nansheng.

Zuo Ling hugged the waterfall with one arm and stroked Xiao Hao's head with the other: "Are you scared?"

Leaving Xiao Hao alone in the wild, the little guy will definitely be scared.

Xiao Hao's eyes reddened, he pouted and uttered two words: "I'm not afraid."

How could he not be afraid? His older brother and sister hadn't returned on time as agreed. He was afraid that something had happened to them, and he was also afraid that they wouldn't want him anymore. He was thinking about all sorts of things, and all sorts of negative emotions came rushing in.

Zuo Ling, ignoring the tears welling up in Xiao Hao's eyes, praised, "My precious little brother is amazing! I knew my Xiao Hao could do it."

Xiao Hao grinned, as if he was about to cry. He couldn't cry; he was a man!

Pei Nansheng didn't know how to comfort children, so he patted Xiao Hao's head as if that was enough.

This place was too close to Jinzhou, so the family of five traveled northwest for three days before settling down on a gentle slope deep in the mountains.

Not far away, a river meanders from west to east.

The land is vast and the sky is blue. Although the vegetation has not yet fully recovered, you can still occasionally see some greenery. Walking here, both body and mind feel refreshed.

"Xiao Hao, how about you live here with your older brother and sister from now on?"

"Okay, okay."

Children are naturally active, and they are very happy to have a place where they can run around freely.

"There are no other children to play with you here, Xiao Hao will get bored."

Zuo Ling carries a secret, and for her safety and to live a more comfortable life, it's best for her to stay away from people.

But humans are social animals, and being separated from people for a long time is not good for physical and mental health. Xiao Hao is not yet grown up, so it is very unfair to him.

Xiao Hao tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "It's not boring at all. There are older brothers and sisters, and there's a snowy night and a waterfall. How could it be boring?"
