"Brother, there are people down there, be careful not to poke her."
Fang Xiyue roughly gestured to indicate where Xin Xin was below.
"Okay, I understand."
Fang Xichen took the crowbar, looked at it, and then looked around the manhole cover.
Finally, he put the crowbar aside, placed his hands on the ground, and soon the area around the manhole cover began to shake.
A minute later, the manhole cover flew straight into the air, knocking down two zombies in the process.
Xin Xin, who was under the manhole cover, suddenly felt that it was dawn. She looked up in surprise and met Fang Xiyue and Fang Xichen's eyes.
"Come out, we need to get out of here quickly."
The moment the manhole cover was opened, Fang Xiyue noticed that the zombies were moving even more violently.
They roared excitedly, but because of the Soul-Devouring Sword protecting them, the zombies couldn't get close. However, it was clear that their attack speed had increased.
Fang Xiyue handed her hand to Xin Xin, who was trembling slightly upon hearing the sound of the zombies.
Xin Xin trembled as she reached out and grasped Fang Xiyue's hand.
With a slight effort, Fang Xiyue lifted Xin Xin up.
She was holding a backpack, and if nothing unexpected happened, the plant should be in that bag.
"Let's go."
Fang Xiyue pulled Xin Xin forward, with Fang Xichen following behind. They ran through the path created by the Soul-Devouring Sword and got into the car.
"Brother Liang, drive!"
Fang Xiyue did not retrieve the Soul-Devouring Sword, but instead cleared the way for the car.
As long as her mental strength is sufficient, the Soul-Devouring Sword can continue to fight.
Fang Xiyue also set up a mental barrier around the van. Since it was the plant that Xin Xin was holding that attracted the zombies, isolating them from the aura was definitely the right thing to do.
As expected, the zombies' agitation was less noticeable after the Qi deficiency isolation.
Fang Xiyue held a jade pendant in each hand, constantly replenishing her energy.
The van started moving slowly, and Xin Xin sat in the last row, pressed tightly against the window.
Dandan and Sister Xiu turned around and talked to her to ease her fear.
"We are not bad people, don't worry."
Although they were all very well covered up, they really aren't bad people.
"Thank you for saving me. I need to find my brother. Please let me down up ahead."
It was obvious that Xin Xin still didn't believe them.
"It's dangerous for a girl like you to walk around outside alone. We'll take you to a safe place in a bit."
Chen Shuai glanced at Xin Xin, who was full of suspicion; they didn't necessarily have to bring her along.
Previously, when they rescued survivors, they would listen to their wishes.
"Thank you," Xin Xin said sweetly.
Fifteen minutes later, the van finally passed through the section of road.
With the Soul-Devouring Sword back in her body, Fang Xiyue felt much better.
This kind of consumption can probably only happen once more.
However, precisely because of the withdrawal of mental energy, the zombies behind became restless again, and they chased after the van.
But their speed was nowhere near that of the car, so they were left far behind.
I estimate that once they've kept their distance, they won't chase anymore.
"Where are you going? If it's on your way, we can give you a ride. Of course, if you don't trust us, you can get off up ahead."
This girl was clearly very wary, and Fang Xiyue had no intention of helping her.
Moreover, when she used her mental power just now, she inadvertently noticed that there was a cactus in Xin Xin's bag.
I don't know why a cactus would attract the attention of zombies, or how much energy it contains that the system needs.
Should I remind her to give me the cactus? Would that seem a bit rushed?
"Sister, I need to go find my brother."
He's a soldier, but I don't know where to find him.
Xin Xin seems to trust Fang Xiyue more than she trusts others.
"A soldier? What's your brother's name? Maybe we know each other."
If he's a soldier, he should also be in Changsha.
She didn't know them, but Fang Xichen and the others might.
Xin Xin's morality score is 99%, meaning she is harmless.
Are you soldiers too?
My brother's name is Zhou Jianming, and my name is Zhou Xinxin. Sister, can you take me to find him?
Xin Xin looked at Fang Xiyue expectantly, while the good and evil value above her head rose directly from 99% to 100%.
"Zhou Jianming? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Fang Xichen felt the name was familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
Chen Shuai and the others also felt it was familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.
"What's with your reaction? How do you all know each other?"
Dandan looked at the men, who remained silent, and was puzzled.
But because everyone was covered up so tightly, she couldn't see their expressions.
"I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before. I'm pretty sure we've met."
Wu Fei racked his brains but couldn't remember anyone with the surname Zhou.
Zhou? Zhou!
"Little sister, how old is your brother?"
They had just assumed that Xin Xin's brother was only a few years younger than her.
But then he suddenly thought of someone.
“My brother is 32 years old, and I am 17 years old this year.”
Xin Xin ran away without telling her parents, but she left a note to let them know.
She knew her brother was a soldier and had many people to save, so he couldn't go back to them immediately, which she could understand.
But she was also worried about her brother, so she wanted to go and make sure he was safe.
But to my surprise, I was surrounded by zombies shortly after I ran out.
There happened to be an open manhole cover, so she jumped in and used her strength to close the cover.
