"Brother, it's me, Xinran. I've finally gotten in touch with you. How's everything at home? Is Mom alright? And Dad...?"
Zhou Xinran was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Zhou Lerui, who had been listening to the phone from the side, snatched it away.
"Big brother, big brother! Waaaa, big brother, it's me, Rui Rui! There are zombies outside, it's so scary! We finally managed to escape from the villa, but my second brother beats me all the time, he's so mean..."
Zhou Lerui gripped the microphone tightly, crying her eyes out, while Zhou Xinran, exasperated, tried to wrest the microphone from her.
"Waaah, big brother, are Mom and Dad alright at home? Did they encounter any danger?" Zhou Lerui finally remembered to ask a useful question.
"Mom and Dad are safe. Ruirui, don't cry. Now give the phone to your second brother."
Zhou Xinran finally snatched the phone and pushed Zhou Lerui's ugly, crying head away.
"Big brother, we only have five minutes left to talk, no, we only have three minutes now. We're currently at the temporary base in S Province. Both Little Third Brother and I have awakened our superpowers, so we're safe. Tell Mom and Dad not to worry..."
"Yes, big brother, I'm really powerful now. I can sever a zombie's head with one strike. I also made a new friend who has spatial abilities. She... mmm..." Zhou Xinran covered his sister's mouth, who kept interrupting him, and continued talking on the phone.
"Do you need me to send someone to meet you?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
"No need, no need. The road is so chaotic, the two groups might get separated."
"By the way, we ran into a friend we met in D City on the way. He's incredibly strong and even saved us before. He's also going to A City and we're traveling the same way. Don't worry, and tell Mom and Dad to rest assured, we'll be back soon."
The brother and sister took turns saying a few more words, and Zhou Xinyi on the other end of the line also told them to be careful and return to City A as soon as possible. Five minutes later, the call ended automatically.
In City A, Zhou Xinyi ended his call with his younger siblings, feeling very excited. He immediately used his mobile phone to dial the landline at home.
In City A, some people can already make calls to landline numbers using their mobile phones.
The massive blackout damaged many large facilities, and given the current conditions, it would be extremely difficult to fully restore them; we can only try to repair as many functions as possible.
The call was answered quickly; it was Aunt Nie, the family's housekeeper.
"Aunt Nie, this is Xin Yi. Is your mother at home?"
“Young Master, Madam is here. She’s crying in her room again. Oh dear, we don’t know where the Second Young Master and the Young Miss are. We haven’t heard from them at all. Madam is crying all the time. What will happen if she ruins her health?”
Aunt Nie has worked for the Zhou family for over thirty years, watching the three Zhou siblings grow up. Now she's just like one of her own family members.
"Aunt Nie, I just wanted to tell my mother that there's news about my second son and Rui Rui."
"What? Second Young Master and Miss... Hey, hey, Eldest Young Master, wait a minute, I'll go call Madam right away... Madam, Madam..."
As Aunt Nie's voice faded into the distance, Zhou Xinyi pinched the bridge of his nose. Since the apocalypse, his parents had both fallen seriously ill because they had not heard from their second and third sons.
Zhou Xinyi was relieved to hear news of his father, who had only recently returned to work but was still in poor health. His mother was still constantly in tears.
A moment later, the sound of hurried running came through the phone. After a commotion, the phone was answered, and it was Zhou's mother's voice, trembling with tears: "Xiao Yi, there's news about the second and third sons, really? Where are they now? Are they safe?"
"Mom, please calm down and listen to me slowly."
"Hey, go ahead, go ahead, I'm listening, I'm not getting excited." Aunt Nie sat next to Zhou's mother, patting her back while listening to the phone call.
"The second brother and Rui Rui are currently staying at an official base in S Province. They are both safe. A very powerful friend will escort them all the way to A City, and several bodyguards will also protect them closely. They will be back in a few days, so you can rest assured now."
"Thank God, thank God!" Zhou's mother and Aunt Nie were overjoyed, bowing to God repeatedly.
"I'm relieved, I'm relieved. Xiao Yi, did you tell your dad? I think he's been so worried that he can't sleep at night, even though he doesn't say it."
“I haven’t told Dad yet, I’ll call him later,” Zhou Xinyi said.
"Then you should call your dad right away," Zhou's mother urged.
Zhou Xinyi comforted his mother for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
Redial to Zhou's father and tell him the good news.
After receiving the call, Mr. Zhou finally felt relieved after more than a month of worry.
He never had to worry about his eldest son, but his two younger ones were both incredibly unreliable, and he was always worried about them. His children were a real burden.
At the temporary survivor protection base in S Province, Zhou Xinran and Zhou Lerui felt much more relaxed after making a phone call to their older brother.
They thanked Manager Fang for his help, and the group finally got into the car and left the base.
I handed in my temporary wristband at the door and set off for City A.
On the way, Zhou Lerui finally got a ride with Lin Xuan.
Xia Feng was extremely annoyed. He couldn't keep stopping people from getting on the bus every time, or he would seem petty.
Although he really didn't want anyone to bother them.
However, his son quite enjoyed playing with the two of them, so he could only resentfully act as the driver in front.
While touching up her makeup, Zhou Lerui asked Lin Xuan some questions about superpowers.
"My brother has fire-based abilities, Xiaoze has space-based abilities, and his brother has earth-based abilities..."
Zhou Lerui pouted.
