Chapter 92, Return of Brothers and Sisters
The man muttered a few words and was about to jump off the rock when he saw four emerald green vines rising from the ground behind the zombie tide and crashing into the pile of zombies at lightning speed.
The vines scattered and wandered, and the sharp leaves were like blades, cutting through the zombie horde like cutting melons and vegetables.
Shen Yang: “…”
In just a few minutes, the tide of zombies that were attracted by the fresh flesh and blood and moved towards the base were chopped into countless pieces of flesh and scattered all over the ground.
Seeing the same scene, some people couldn't help but vomit.
Hearing the sound of vomiting behind him, Shen Yang pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and muttered: "I haven't seen him for a while, and that guy is getting more and more violent."
After all the zombies fell, the green vines suddenly retracted and turned into four seeds that fell into the owner's pale, wrinkle-free palm.
The little girl, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, clenched the seed tightly and looked up at the young man beside her.
"Well done." The young man smiled gently, touched her head, and praised her softly, "Youyou is getting better and better."
After receiving the praise, the little girl moved the muscles on both sides of her cheeks, forming a subtle arc, expressing her happiness.
"However," the young man changed the subject, "I've said it many times before. When dealing with zombies, just chop off their heads. There's no need to cut them into pieces. It's too unsightly."
The little girl blinked, looked down at the seeds in her hand, and then looked up at him.
Don't you understand what he means? The young man sighed helplessly, the smile in his eyes softened, and he took the little girl's hand.
"It's okay, Youyou did a great job. I'll make you some candied haws when I get home."
Hearing the word "tanghulu", the little girl nodded vigorously and uttered one word: "Okay."
…
There are people with special abilities at Xiling Base who come out to deal with the corpses of the zombies to prevent them from piling up here and causing various diseases.
Shen Yang came over with the Special Ability Team and stopped in front of the two returning people.
He didn't look at the little girl. He raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, smiling: "Your comeback is quite high-profile, Xiaobai."
Avoiding his brother's hand, unlike the gentleness he showed when talking to the little girl, the young man simply gave him a cold look: "Why are you so anxious to find me back?"
Without any embarrassment from being given the cold shoulder, Shen Yang still smiled cheerfully: "Ranran is back, so I have to ask you, her brother, to come back and see her."
"Ranran?" When he said his sister's name, the coldness in Chen Bai's eyes faded, and he murmured, "Are you back..." When he looked at his brother again, he regained his indifference, "Brother, congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Ignoring the sarcasm in Shen Bai's tone, Shen Yang waved his hand: "Hey, isn't it what you wish for?"
As he spoke, he hooked his arm around Chen Bai's shoulders, a cold smile on his face: "Do you know who Ran Ran came back with this time?"
Shen Bai, who had been about to shake him off, stopped when he heard this. Without thinking deeply, he asked directly, "Who?"
"Si Xu." Shen Yang lowered his voice, seeming helpless. "Hey, Xiaobai, let me tell you, it's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up—Ranran was completely bewitched by that guy Si Xu. The very night she came back, she climbed onto Si Xu's balcony, and the whole base knew about it."
Because he couldn't stand his brother's way of doing things, he became increasingly distant from him, but after all, from childhood to adulthood, they were the people who understood each other best in the world.
Hearing Shen Yang's tone, Shen Bai frowned: "You mean, Ranran... has become the same as when she was a child again?"
Jiang Ranran, who woke up after being hypnotized, followed the old man's ideas and lived as a standard lady. She would never climb onto a man's balcony, no matter how important that man was to her.
"Hey~" Knowing that Shen Bai understood what he meant, Shen Yang responded with a drawn-out tone, then punched him in the chest, "Aren't you on good terms with Si Xu? Find a chance and go test Ran Ran."
Without a second thought, Chen Bai refused: "No." After a pause, he sneered, "Brother, Ranran is Ranran, the daughter of my aunt, and our biological sister. No matter how her personality changes, the blood relationship between us cannot be erased."
"Of course I know." Shen Yang curled his lips, "I just think Ranran is quite interesting now."
"Interesting?" The word brought back unpleasant memories, and Chen Bai slapped his hand away. "Last time you said it was interesting, you plotted to kill an innocent girl. Remember?"
"I say, why are you bringing this up again?" The frequency with which this matter had been brought up recently had made him feel annoyed. The man suppressed his smile and said coldly, "Pei Wan'er is already dead, Chen Bai. It's useless for you to nag me about it again - she can't possibly come back to life."
Accustomed to his brother's indifferent tone, Shen Bai looked at him quietly for a long time, and said with a sigh: "Yes, in your eyes, other people's lives are never lives, but just chess pieces you arrange casually."
So you can kill a girl who has no grudge against you without hesitation for the sake of your own plans and obsessions.
Not wanting to say more, he took the little girl's hand and said, "Youyou, let's go back."
"Wait." Shen Yang's gaze finally shifted to the little girl. When their eyes met, he curled his lips into a smile, "Xiaobai, you can be angry with me, but now that this girl is back, she has to follow me from now on."
"Follow you?" Knowing that his brother had always disliked Youyou, Shen Bai said in a deep voice, "Shen Yang, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just haven't seen this little sister for a long time and I miss her." Shen Yang extended his hand to the girl and raised his eyebrows, "A117, come here."
Before Shen Bai could speak again, Shen Yang said with a smile: “Don’t make me angry, Xiaobai—you know, I have a very bad temper.”
"I……"
Shen Bai's refusal was interrupted by the little girl's sudden release of her hand - Shen Youyou let go of Shen Bai's hand, tilted her head and looked at Shen Yang for a long time, then placed her hand in his palm.
"You're still so well-behaved." Just like when he got a toy as a child, Shen Yang held the little girl's hand, looked at Shen Bai with a show-off look, and curled his lips, "Xiaobai, I still have to deal with these zombies here. You must be tired after the long journey. Go back and rest early."
Knowing his brother's temper, and knowing that it was useless to say more at this moment, Shen Bai leaned over and touched the girl's head, saying softly: "Youyou, you have to listen to your brother, understand?"
The little girl nodded.
"I'll go back first." Chen Bai looked at his brother coldly, "You..."
"Go back, go back. Don't worry, I won't bully her. After all..." Shen Yang chuckled, "This girl is also a member of the Shen family, isn't she?"
…
Watching Shen Bai enter the base gate, Shen Yang let go of the little girl's hand with some disgust, waved his hand and pushed her aside, not hiding his disgust.
"Get away from me, don't let me see you."
The little girl replied "yes" and silently walked to a weathered stone and squatted down, just out of the man's sight.
Shen Yang didn't bother to look at her any more, and directed the logistics staff to throw the zombie corpses on the ground into the corpse pit, burn them and bury them.
…
Five hours later, Shen Yang returned to the Shen family villa, lazily greeted Zheng Li who stayed in the living room, and prepared to go upstairs.
"Brother." On the second-floor corridor, Chen Bai lowered his eyes and looked at his brother, and asked slowly, "Where is Youyou?"
"Ah." After being reminded, Shen Yang finally remembered the little girl he had thrown behind the rock, "I forgot to bring her back."
He yawned and muttered, "It's okay. When the gate opens tomorrow, I'll have someone bring it back. Don't worry, I've given the girl an order; she won't get lost."
He quietly stared at the face that looked so similar to his own, his eyes dark and gloomy—was it still like this? After so much time, he still felt for Youyou...
After a moment, Shen Bai retracted his gaze and came down from upstairs.
"I'll go find her."
"It's useless, Xiaobai." Shen Yang kindly reminded, "It's curfew time now, you can't go out."
"I know."
"You knew that, but you still went?" Shen Yang brushed past Shen Bai on the way upstairs, and said with a hint of meaning, "Xiao Bai, you're too obsessed with that girl—don't forget, a puppet is just a puppet, it has no heart and no feelings."
When dealing with a puppet, one should use the right method - treating her as a member of the family is just a joke to alleviate guilt and to fool oneself.
