Chapter 249 It’s too late
Lin Xi looked at Zhu Tingting and said, "Come into my space. I'll go find your parents."
She had been to Zhu Tingting's house for dinner before and knew her parents.
Zhu Tingting already regretted it at this moment.
Just now in the air, she had seen zombies all over the mountains.
Although there are fewer zombies here, it is still too risky for Lin Xi to go find her parents alone.
She shook her head and suddenly burst into tears. "I won't go into the space, and you don't have to look for them. Let's go back. I don't want you to take any risks."
If anything happened to Lin Xi, she would never be able to sleep or eat well for the rest of her life.
If it were in the past, Lin Xi would never have brought Zhu Tingting here alone. Coming here alone would be tantamount to seeking death.
However, now that she has a space barrier, she still has something to rely on.
She thought for a moment and said, "How about this. My spatial barrier can only hold out for about half an hour. Any longer than that won't work. If I can find your parents within half an hour, then it's fine. If not, then I'll have to wait for another opportunity to find them later."
Zhu Tingting hesitated for a moment, "Then, then you must pay attention to safety."
Lin Xi took Zhu Tingting into the space.
When I opened the cockpit, a zombie came towards me with its claws.
Lin Xi dodged to the side, and a wind blade cut off the zombie's head.
Folding the helicopter, she quickly approached the shelter.
There aren't many zombies in the mountains here, so the space barrier is not opened in a hurry.
As he walked and killed zombies, Lin Xi soon got closer and closer to the shelter.
People and zombies were mixed together here, and many of them were holding sticks and stones, killing zombies.
There is no other way. If I hide in the shelter without food, I will die. I have no choice but to come out and find something to eat.
Lin Xi opened the space barrier and walked while holding a large loudspeaker and shouting the names of Zhu Tingting's parents, "Zhu Guoqiang - Chen Yan -"
The zombies rushed forward, encountered a space barrier, and were bounced back.
Lin Xi shouted all the way to the door of Shelter No. 98.
The door of the shelter was only opened a crack for people to enter and exit, and there were people guarding the door to prevent zombies from entering the shelter.
No one stopped Lin Xi from going in.
She shouted and looked around, but no one answered. She searched for a long time and finally saw Zhu Tingting's parents in a corner.
Zhu Tingting's father was lying on the ground, his face was pale and his cheeks were sunken. It was obvious that he was dead.
Zhu Tingting's mother leaned against the wall, her lips were chapped, her face was pale and thin, her eyes were half open and half closed, and she looked like she was about to die.
I guess these two people are so hungry.
Lin Xi quickly released Zhu Tingting.
When Zhu Tingting came out and saw her parents, she first threw herself on her father and cried, then went to shake her mother, "Mom, Mom, wake up, I'm Tingting."
Chen Yan slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Zhu Tingting. There was finally a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Lin Xi opened a bottle of water and handed it over. Chen Yan drank a few sips reluctantly, waved her hand, and said in a hoarse, almost weak voice, "No need. I'll save the water for you to drink."
Zhu Tingting supported her mother and cried, "Mom, just drink, we have water."
Chen Yan shook her head, "Your father left yesterday."
"Mom can't do it either."
She looked at Lin Xi and forced a smile, "If we had followed you back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"We were so foolish as to think you were still a child and unwilling to believe you."
She extended her hand to Lin Xi, who held hers. "Auntie, it's okay. I'll take you back to the base. There are people there who can treat you, and there's food and drink available."
She tore off a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Chen Yan's mouth.
Chen Yan held it in her mouth and used up her last bit of strength to say, "Lin Xi, our Tingting doesn't have much ability, unlike you who are very capable. From now on, Tingting will follow you. If you can help her, please do so. I won't force anything."
Zhu Tingting cried and shook her head, "Mom, it's okay, we'll leave soon."
As she spoke, she was about to hug Chen Yan. Chen Yan touched her head and said, "It's too late, Tingting. Mom only has one wish, that you live well——"
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand slid down from Zhu Tingting's head, and her neck tilted softly to the side.
Zhu Tingting hugged her and burst into tears, "Mom - Mom -"
Lin Xi also felt uncomfortable.
It’s too late to bring Chen Yan back to the base now.
Zhu Tingting hugged Chen Yan and cried for a while, then stared blankly at her father and mother lying on the ground.
Lin Xi had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "What are you going to do? Are you going to take him back to the base for burial or -"
Zhu Tingting closed her eyes and shook her head. She suddenly released two fireballs that landed on her parents, and watched them quickly catch fire.
Zhu Tingting is only C-level, unlike those S-level fire elements who can burn ordinary people to ashes in an instant.
She just watched her parents burn in the flames, and the feeling was really heartbreaking.
After an unknown amount of time, only scattered bones and ashes remained on the ground.
Lin Xi searched the space but couldn't find a suitable box or jar, so she could only apologetically give her two paper boxes.
Zhu Tingting placed her parents' ashes into a paper box with her hands, then stood up with her head lowered. "Let's go."
At this moment, Lin Xi's communicator rang.
Just now, Zhu Tingting burned her parents, and everyone around her stayed away, only occasionally glancing over here. Now that the communicator rang, many people looked over.
Lin Xi saw that the people around her looked at each other with strange eyes, so she quickly turned off the communicator and sent Zhu Tingting into the space.
After taking a few steps, someone stopped her and asked, "What was that ringing just now? A cell phone? There's no way the cell phone can still have a signal now, right?"
Lin Xi pushed him away, "It's none of your business."
The man waved his hand, and many people came over and surrounded Lin Xi.
Someone asked, "Could you be coming from some base? I heard there's a base somewhere."
"They said the base is safe and has everything."
Lin Xi frowned. They had been killing zombies for more than half a month. It was estimated that someone had accidentally leaked the news of the base.
"Tell us where the base is."
The people around shouted, "Yes, we want to go to the base too, just tell us."
"Tell me, tell me quickly, or you can't leave."
Lin Xi looked around at the people surrounding her without saying a word. Suddenly, she stomped her feet, and dozens of people surrounding her flew out radially.
She didn't bother to care about these people, so she ran as fast as she could and left the shelter.
The people on the ground only felt their eyes blur and Lin Xi disappeared.
Lin Xi opened the space barrier and flew back and forth.
Walking to the flat ground, she took out the helicopter, quickly sat in the cockpit, and started the plane.
The plane flew steadily in the air for a while before Lin Xi turned on the communicator and saw that it was Lin Yuan calling, probably asking her to go back for dinner.
