"Do you want revenge?" Jiang Mi looked at the two of them and suddenly spoke.
The mother and daughter froze, but did not look up.
Jiang Mi took out two sets of clothes from the space and placed them on the ground in front of them. He stepped back a few steps and said calmly: "If you want revenge, put on your clothes and come out. We will wait for you outside."
Miao Xi drew out his Miao Dao and cut off the chains that bound the two men in a few strokes. Without saying a word, he followed Jiang Mi out of the room.
After closing the door, Miao Xi and Jiang Mi stood at the corridor, holding the railing with both hands and looking at the swimming pool which had turned dark green. "Will they come out?"
She didn't know how long the mother and daughter had been imprisoned, but there was clearly something wrong with their mental state.
If they don't come out, should she just ignore them?
Miao Xi held the railing tightly with both hands, thoughts swirling in his mind.
"In this doomsday, the only ones who can save them are themselves." Jiang Mi said lightly, raised his eyes and looked around, but did not see Jiang Xun.
They can help the mother and son for a while, but they can't help them forever.
Only by having firm beliefs and struggling hard to survive can you be qualified to survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
Otherwise, it will only be more painful.
Miao Xi stopped talking. Jiang Mi glanced at her, thought for a moment, and took out two lollipops from his pocket. "Eat some candy. Don't think too much. It's enough for us to have a clear conscience."
The mother and son have been given a chance. Whether they can survive depends on their own choices.
Miao Xi took it silently, put one lollipop into his pocket, tore open the wrapper of the other one and put it into his mouth. The lychee-flavored lollipop tasted a little sour at first, but it was quickly covered by the sweetness.
Just as Jiang Mi looked away, she heard a crackling sound, and then she saw Miao Xi taking out the lollipop stick.
Noticing her gaze, Miao Xi blinked, "It's more convenient to eat this way."
Jiang Mi: “…”
All right.
Time passed by little by little. Jiang Mi looked at the watch on his wrist. Half an hour had passed, but there was still no movement in the house.
Miao Xi had bitten the stick of the lollipop beyond recognition and was unconsciously turning it in his hand.
"Wait another half hour, the last half hour, if..."
She didn't continue, but Jiang Mi understood what she meant.
If the mother and child don't come out after an hour, they will stop caring about them and go back to the kindergarten.
Just as she finished speaking, there was a sound from the door behind her.
When they turned around, they saw that the mother and son were already dressed, opened the door and were standing at the door.
The little girl lowered her head and held the woman's hand tightly, with most of her body hidden behind the woman, and her whole body was still shaking uncontrollably.
Instead, the woman had smoothed her messy hair, revealing a somewhat dirty face, but her eyes were filled with hatred and madness.
"You...can help us get revenge?" she said hoarsely.
Miao Xi felt relieved when he saw the two of them, and shook his head when he heard the woman's words, "Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take revenge by yourself?"
The woman sneered at herself, "If I had the ability, why would I be imprisoned and insulted by those beasts?"
"So, we will just hand you the knife." Jiang Mi continued, "Now you are free, so you have the capital for revenge."
“In the end times, don’t think there will be a savior with kindness, otherwise you will only fall into a deeper abyss.” Jiang Mi said meaningfully.
In the end times, the thing that cannot stand the test the most is the human heart, and the kindness of others may not necessarily bring salvation.
The woman stared at her closely, and after a long silence, she said expressionlessly, "Okay, I believe you. Anyway, the worst that can happen is death, and I'm already dead."
At this point, the woman couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand tightly, and made a hoarse and unpleasant request with a humble voice, "If...if possible, please let my daughter live!"
As she said this, she knelt down.
Jiang Mi looked at him coldly, "Your daughter, protect it yourself."
"Let's go, don't waste time."
As she said that, she turned and walked downstairs. Miao Xi glanced at the woman and said, "Get up. We have to get back before dark."
The woman nodded with difficulty and followed Miao Xi with her daughter.
Walking out of the swimming pool, Jiang Xun stood at the door and could smell a faint stench coming from him when he got closer.
Seeing a few people, Jiang Xun handed the cup of water in his hand to Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi lowered his head and looked into the cup, and saw a blue-gray crystal inside.
"The probability of those mutant species producing crystals has increased recently." Jiang Xun whispered.
Jiang Mi put the cup containing the crystals into the space, calculated the time in his mind and said softly: "It's almost time."
It is almost February, and the mutants that have been in dormancy for half a year are gradually beginning to wake up, and the first batch of mutated mutants are rapidly becoming stronger.
By the time spring comes, the sight of deformed species everywhere will not be far away.
As the mother and son were injured and very weak from long-term hunger, Jiang Mi and his group had to slow down and rush back. However, even at the slowest pace, it was still extremely difficult for the mother and son to keep up.
Miao Xi handed the woman a bottle of water. The woman looked at her in disbelief, said thank you and took it. She resisted the urge to finish it and took a few sips to moisten her lips that were cracked to the point of bleeding. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I give some to my daughter?"
"This bottle of water is given to you, you decide for yourself." Miao Xi waved his hand.
The woman quickly gave her daughter half the bottle and carefully put the remaining half in her arms.
Until the group returned to the kindergarten, the woman and her daughter did not shout a word and just gritted their teeth and persevered.
As soon as she entered the kindergarten, the woman fainted due to exhaustion.
"Mom!" the little girl shouted in panic and rushed to the woman and shook her hard.
Miao Xi checked it out, then he and Xiao Fei, who came to greet them, carried the woman into the building.
"Your mother is just fainted from exhaustion. She'll be fine after a rest." She explained to the little girl who was standing stiffly beside her.
The little girl clutched the corner of her clothes and nodded randomly, her eyes never leaving the women, following them closely.
Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun were standing downstairs. Suddenly, they seemed to sense something and looked up towards the third floor. They saw the non-mainstream man standing behind the curtains, watching them stealthily.
Realizing that he was noticed, the non-mainstream man quickly retracted his head.
Jiang Mi narrowed his eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he walked straight to the third floor.
Standing at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, you can see several large open offices. The offices have been cleaned up, and all the desks and other supplies have been moved out, leaving only an empty room.
Seeing her coming, the non-mainstream man poked his head out from the back offices and walked out with a flattering expression on his face, "Well... according to your request, we have only cleaned up the last few rooms, and we will definitely clean them all up tomorrow!"
Jiang Mi didn't say anything, just looked at him, and walked directly into the cleaned house under his nervous gaze. (End of this chapter)
