Chapter 250 I'll Protect You
It's getting dark.
Fortunately, Lin Xi had flown in this area many times and did not lose his way, so he flew to Xishan Base smoothly.
After parking the helicopter at the door, Lin Fenfang went in and asked, "Where have you been? I asked Yuanyuan to call your communicator, but you didn't answer."
"Come and eat, the food is cold."
Lin Xi didn't say anything. She brought Zhu Tingting out and the two of them sat down to eat.
Zhu Tingting was absent-minded, holding the chopsticks motionless.
While I was eating, the communicator rang again. It was Qi Mo calling.
Lin Xi walked to the side and answered the call, then she heard Qi Mo's low voice, "Are you at home? Are you out for a walk?"
Lin Xi glanced at Zhu Tingting and said, "No, I have something else to do."
Qi Mo was silent for a while, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
At this time, Lin Fenfang noticed that something was wrong with Zhu Tingting. She stood beside the dining table and patted her shoulder, "Tingting, why don't you eat? Is it because Auntie's cooking is not tasty?"
Zhu Tingting shook her head, tears falling down her face.
Lin Fenfang panicked, "Hey, girl, why are you crying? If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. How about I make you a bowl of noodles?"
Zhu Tingting suddenly hugged Lin Fenfang and said, "Auntie, I don't have a father or a mother anymore."
"I don't have a mom and dad anymore."
Lin Fenfang was stunned. She patted Zhu Tingting's shoulder and sighed in her heart.
This girl has a miserable life. She has to face the world alone at the age of nineteen.
She said softly, "Tingting, Auntie can only advise you to be more open-minded. There's nothing we can do about this. In today's world, no one knows how many days they can live."
She sighed, "From now on, if you don't mind, you can live in our house. Although there are vacant houses outside, it's not good for a little girl like you to live alone. It's also inconvenient to eat."
Zhu Tingting was still crying.
Lin Xi sat opposite Zhu Tingting and continued eating. There was no other way, she was really too hungry.
Lin Fenfang held Zhu Tingting and took pictures for a while, and Zhu Tingting's mood gradually stabilized.
She knew that she was in someone else's home and it was not good to cry all the time.
She wiped her tears and picked up the bowl to eat.
Lin Xi picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks and said, "Eat more. I see that you have lost a lot of weight. You must not have eaten much recently."
Zhu Tingting has been lucky to get a meal a day recently. If she had seen this table of food yesterday, she would probably have jumped for joy.
Now, no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like wax. She tried to chew the food slowly.
After dinner, Lin Xi stood up to clean up the dishes. Lin Fenfang quickly pushed her over and said, "You go and accompany Tingting. I'll clean up."
Lin Xi pulled Zhu Tingting out and walked along the street.
Zhu Tingting didn't know where Lin Xi was going to take her, so she followed Lin Xi in silence.
Lin Xi took her to the foot of the mountain, took out a shovel for her, and then took out two cardboard boxes.
Zhu Tingting looked at the two cardboard boxes. Her 1.8-meter-tall father was now in this small cardboard box.
However, they were lucky enough not to turn into disgusting zombies.
She silently took the shovel, dug a hole in the ground, put the cardboard box in, and then filled it with soil.
After filling the soil, Zhu Tingting stood there for a while and said softly, "I think the lilies in your space are very beautiful. Can you give me one? I want to plant it here."
Lin Xi nodded, "Wait a minute."
She returned to the space and carefully dug out a lily.
Zhu Tingting planted lilies next to this piece of land.
There was no grave on the ground, only a piece of freshly dug soil and a newly opened flower.
Lilies as big as bowls swayed gently in the breeze, carrying an intoxicating fragrance.
Zhu Tingting looked at him for a long time before she said to Lin Xi, "Let's go."
The two walked back along the street.
Zhu Tingting said softly: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that my parents passed away."
Lin Xi just patted her hands and said nothing.
When she got home, Lin Fenfang had already tidied up a room.
This room was originally used as a study, and there was a folding bed in it. Lin Fenfang had laid out the sheets and prepared the pillows.
When Lin Xi and Zhu Tingting got home, the TV was on and the news was playing.
This is what happened today. The tragic conditions in the first five districts, especially the first four districts, were captured on camera.
The TV station at the base is also managed by armed personnel. It must have been Zhao Gang who set it up.
The purpose may be to let everyone in the base see how cruel outsiders are except for them.
I believe that when there are outsiders again, everyone will know what to choose.
Lin Fenfang came out and was shocked when she saw the scene. "Oh my God, so many people died?"
Lin Xi smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, they only entered the living area and didn't damage the production area or touch the scientists."
Lin Fenfang shook her head. "What's wrong with people these days? They kill people at the drop of a hat."
Zhu Tingting added, "This world is no longer bound by laws, and the evil in many people's hearts has been unleashed."
Lin Xi touched Zhu Tingting's head and said, "You should get some rest early."
Then she said to her mother, "I'm going to take a look at District 5. I won't be back tonight."
After leaving home, Lin Xi called Qi Mo, who picked up the call quickly.
Lin Xi whispered, "Where?"
Qi Mo felt a little aggrieved, "You refused to pay attention to me, and I just came to the fifth district."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Then I'll go to District 5 later."
She walked slowly along the street.
The street lights shine on the street, which is calm and peaceful, as if returning to the world without zombies.
Not long after walking, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. When she turned around, it was Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying smiled and said, "Going to District 5?"
Lin Xi nodded. "How do you feel about absorbing the S-level crystal core today?"
Zhou Ying smiled, "Of course it's good."
"I can already sense the barrier not far away. If I can absorb another S-level crystal core, I think I can reach SS level."
Lin Xi was a little envious, "You guys in the gold and fire systems are really good. Crystal cores are easy to obtain, and your attack power is particularly strong."
Zhou Ying touched her head and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"Don't be afraid, no matter how powerful I am, I will protect you."
Lin Xi smiled with her lips pursed. She felt that not only she was confused, but the people around her were also confused about her.
Just like Zhou Ying, one moment she calls her Sister Xi, and the next moment she treats her as her sister.
Zhou Ying sighed as he walked, "Actually, I really don't want to fight or kill."
"I just want to hide in your space and farm, grow flowers, or something."
He turned to look at Lin Xi, "How about we leave this world? Whether humanity will be destroyed or not is actually none of our business. Why don't we just hide in space?"
"Now that the space has a water source and the temperature is just right, it would be great if we could spend some time building it up."
Lin Xi thought about it and said, "I don't really care. I think anything is fine."
