Chapter 170 Lu Xici, runs away from home!
As if remembering something, Lu Xici suddenly reached out and ruffled the hair of Lu Nange and Lu Beiye, her voice so gentle it could melt hearts: "You still have your older brother~"
The two siblings froze simultaneously, slowly turning their heads to see their elder brother gazing at them with what could only be described as "loving" eyes.
Goosebumps instantly rose on Lu Nange's arms, and the two siblings involuntarily trembled.
Zhizhi and Gangzi, one on each side, followed the two siblings and shook their feet. Perhaps feeling the atmosphere wasn't quite right, Zhizhi ripped two leaves from her toes and threw them on the ground...
Lu Beiye thought to himself, "[I really want to curse, but my persona is that of my older sister's good boy!]"
Lu Nange rubbed her arms: "Brother, please stop with that 'oil-squeezing' look you're giving me..."
"Lu! Nan! Ge!" Lu Xici's gentle mask shattered instantly.
"Smack!"
Lu Beiye stepped in front of his sister, his face tense: "Brother, why are you being so fierce! You were the one who looked at us with such disgusting eyes first!"
"That's called care!!!" Lu Xici's forehead veins bulged, making him look like a lion with its mane standing on end.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
The two siblings looked at each other and admitted their mistake in unison.
Lu Nange: "I was wrong!"
Lu Beiye: "I was wrong!"
He Zhuo wiped away tears of laughter: "Brother Ci, Mei Bao and A Ye both know they were wrong. If you don't forgive them, then it's your problem!"
Gu Wan: "Exactly, Brother Ci, your voice was a bit too loud just now..."
Lu Xici roughly ruffled her younger siblings' heads, turning their hair into a bird's nest: "I'm going to run away from home sooner or later!"
He added through gritted teeth, "The kind that gets lost!"
Lu Nange and Lu Beiye each took one arm of Lu Xici's arm...
Zhizhi's little feet slapped the floor with a "smack": "Chirp chirp chirp...!"
[Master, someone's here. Should we kill them or tie them up?]
Lu Nange extended her mental energy downwards: "Zhizhi, don't make a move yet!"
Zhizhi: "Chirp chirp chirp..."
[Master, I was moving my feet...]
Lu Nange: "Then don't move your feet yet."
"Chirp..." The vines were reluctantly retracted, and the rustling sounds outside the door immediately disappeared.
......
Ten minutes ago, at the dimly lit street corner...
A group of shadowy figures gathered downstairs at the place where Lu Nange and the others were staying. The leader, Boss Jin, had a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his mouth, the scarlet cigarette tip flickering in the night.
"Are you sure it's this building?" Jin squinted at the faint light coming from the eighth floor.
"Absolutely true!" A henchman nearby hunched over. "They killed all the level two zombies we lured over. I saw them go up with my own eyes; one of the men even seemed to be injured."
From the shadows, a woman with her hands tied behind her back was pushed out, staggering.
A little girl who looked about four or five years old was following beside her. She was very thin and wore a dirty short-sleeved suit.
Jin used his cigarette butt to lift the woman's chin: "Liu Ping, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
He pulled a black medicine bottle from his pocket, its label torn and faded: "Just get your little brat to find a way to scatter it in their room..."
He bent down and exhaled a cloud of smoke. The woman turned her head away: "All the salbutamol is yours, and I'll let you leave."
Liu Ping took the medicine bottle expressionlessly, while the child beside her clutched the hem of his mother's clothes, his obsidian-like eyes unblinking.
"Liu Ping." Jin Ye suddenly grabbed her by the neck, pressing his thumb against her Adam's apple: "You're a smart person..."
The little girl suddenly bared her teeth, like an enraged young animal.
Liu Ping's trembling hand pressed down on her daughter's shoulder in time, gently stroking it from an angle unseen by others.
Jin leaned close to Liu Ping's ear and whispered, "I'm determined to get my hands on these people's supplies."
"Bang!"
He abruptly released her grip, and Liu Ping stumbled and bumped into the wall behind her: "Go on, give your daughter a proper explanation, we'll wait here."
The moment the little girl lunged at Liu Ping, she suddenly turned around, her dark eyes fixed on Jin Ye and his group.
His eyes didn't look like a child's; they were more like those of some lurking wild beast—cold, ferocious, and enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
As Liu Ping led her daughter to the corner of the road, her henchman came up to her and said, "Brother Jin, that little brat... she's really creepy! She's so young, but her eyes are like a wolf's, they give you the creeps."
He rubbed his arms and lowered his voice, "That woman Liu Ping... she wouldn't have taken the opportunity to run away with the child, would she?"
Jin sneered, flicking away his cigarette ash: "What kind of good people could Liu Ping's child be? That woman is not someone to be trifled with. If it weren't for the fact that only we have the medicine her daughter needs, we might all be in her hands..."
