Chapter 329 Gangzi...
Lu Xici and the others noticed Lu Beiye's emotional fluctuations and squatted down or bent over in unison, looking at Lu Beiye with encouraging eyes.
"Little Aye can do whatever he wants, we're all here."
"Ah Ye, go if you want to. Zhuo-ge supports you."
Lu Beiye's face tightened, and he nodded heavily. He took the backpack containing small bread rolls from Lu Nange and walked towards the children who were still eating insects.
Lu Nange didn't stop her, but called out softly, "Axu...Zhizhi...Gangzi..."
Shi Xu's spiritual power spread out, transforming into an invisible yet intricate net that silently enveloped the surroundings...
Zhizhi reacted incredibly quickly, leaping from Lu Beiye's arms onto his shoulder with a "whoosh," her emerald green vines swaying and trembling slightly, poised to pounce...
The macaw flew up from Lu Xici's shoulder and circled above Lu Beiye's head, while Lu Nange's mental energy was highly concentrated and firmly locked onto the area in front of Lu Beiye.
The others followed intently, holding their breath, the entire scene as if facing a formidable enemy...
Lu Beiye stopped three steps away from the children.
As Lu Beiye approached, the children continued to chew on the insects in their mouths, seemingly oblivious.
Two of the children, who looked to be only three or four years old, timidly stretched out their dirty little hands, opened their palms, and revealed the dark, dead insects.
A little girl stammered, "Brother...do you...do you want some? I...I have one more..."
Another little boy whispered in agreement, "Here...here you go..."
Wen Qing, Luo Xingyou, and Gu Wan's eyes instantly reddened.
Lu Beiye originally intended to put the bread on the ground, but when he saw the two children's outstretched hands, he took another step forward.
Apart from the boy and girl who handed over the insects, the other older children all took two steps back, their eyes filled with wariness and unease.
Lu Beiye said softly, "Thank you, but I don't want any... You can have these breads."
A child who looked about the same age as Lu Beiye asked incredulously, "Give...to us?"
Lu Beiye: "Okay, here you go."
Zhizhi didn't let Lu Beiye get any closer. The emerald green vines rolled up the bread and distributed it to every child present.
Some children grabbed the bread and ran, while others bowed and thanked the vendors before quickly scattering...
Lu Beiye turned around and ran back to Lu Nange's side, and Lu Nange squatted down and hugged him.
Lu Beiye wrapped his arms around Lu Nange's neck: "Before... I also hoped that someone could share some food with me."
Lu Nange's heart seemed to be tugged: "With my sister here, all we need to do is grow up safely!"
Lu Beiye: "Yes. I want to stay with my sister forever."
Lu Xici, who had just gotten closer, sighed and teased with a doting tone, "I wanted to carry you, but my Aye is ostracizing her own brother again?"
Lu Beiye: "...I can walk by myself."
Lu Xici smiled and ruffled his hair: "That's more like it!"
What he didn't say was—[Ah Ye's expression just now, for some reason, made my heart ache.]
Lu Nange looked around and said, "Let's go check out Section D first. Section E... we'll change our clothes and come back tomorrow."
“Yeah, the people here practically bury their faces in their chests when they see us, we can’t even see their faces clearly…” Gu Wan nodded: “Listen to Nan Nan, let’s change our clothes and fight again tomorrow.”
The group had just turned out of the dirty and dilapidated E area and stepped onto the relatively wide main road, heading towards the D area.
The number of survivors on the road gradually increased, and occasionally modified off-road vehicles or transport trucks would roar by, raising dust mixed with the smell of engine oil and rust.
Just then, a distinct engine roar came from behind, growing louder as it approached.
Shi Xu's mental energy stirred slightly, but with vehicles coming and going on the road, he didn't pay much attention—until the ear-piercing sound of brakes rang out one after another!
The tires screeched as a brightly painted SUV suddenly swerved and blocked the road.
The car door was flung open, and a domineering female voice rang out: "Stop!"
Lu Nange and her group didn't stop walking, and the voice rose another eight octaves, clearly impatient: "Are you deaf? You have a parrot on your shoulder? Stop right there!"
He Zhuo turned his head and glanced at Gangzi on his shoulder: "Parrot? Is this crazy woman calling us?"
The chaotic footsteps were rapidly approaching from behind, and Lu Nange and the others slowly turned around.
Gu Wan recognized the arrogant figure at a glance, her face instantly darkening. She muttered under her breath, "Bad luck..."
Gu Qi frowned: "It seems our plan to quietly search for people at the Mu family base... is going to fall through."
He Zhuo spat out, "Why is Mu Shu, that lunatic, here?"
Shi Xu: "Brother Yan, the person waiting in the car should be Mu Cheng..."
A woman in a pink dress with a bow was leading a group of guards in uniform, walking menacingly toward them.
She raised her chin slightly, her gaze fixed directly on Gangzi, and said arrogantly, "I want this parrot. Name your price."
Lu Xici: "Sorry, not for sale."
Gangzi had barely uttered the curse "ugly monster" when his mouth was bound by vines...
The woman in the pink dress sneered and winked at the guard beside her.
The guards immediately stepped forward and shouted sternly at the surroundings, "What are you looking at! You have ten seconds to count to ten, then get out of here!"
Upon seeing this, the survivors who had been watching the commotion on both sides scattered like frightened birds.
After the crowd dispersed, the woman slowly walked forward and said, "What you are standing here is our Mu family's territory."
Her gaze swept over Gangzi, her voice laced with threat: "I'll ask you one last time—sell or not?"
The guards behind her stepped forward in unison, their heels slamming heavily on the ground, creating an oppressive encirclement.
Lu Xici: "Not for sale!"
Mu Shu: "Not selling? A bunch of ignorant ants are asking for trouble. Do you even know who I am?"
Lu Xici scoffed, his tone full of sarcasm: "What, who are you? Didn't your parents tell you?"
"You—!" Mu Shu's face turned pale with anger, and she screamed, "Kill him for me!"
Just as the guard was about to make his move, the back door of the SUV that had been parked next to him was suddenly pulled open.
A young man in a black combat uniform stepped down, his voice low: "Mu Shu!"
Mu Shu turned around abruptly, as if she had found a backer, yet her expression held a hint of grievance: "Brother..."
The young man didn't look at her; he simply waved casually.
The guards who had been tightly surrounding Lu Nange and her group immediately retreated, making way for an open space.
With his hands in his pockets, Mu Cheng walked slowly and deliberately toward Lu Nange and her group.
Gu Wan rolled her eyes: "Show-off!"
Mu Cheng stopped in front of Chi Yanzhou, giving him a meaningful smile: "Young Master Chi, what brings you to our base? What brings you here?"
He Zhuo immediately chimed in sarcastically, "Brother Yan, that shameless Mu Cheng really is after you! He can recognize you even with your mask on. How deep must his obsession be?"
Mu Shu was stunned: "Brother...brother, you said he is Brother Yanzhou?"
