Li Ruonan quickly grabbed a chair and handed it over. Li Yiyuan nodded his thanks, placed it behind Li Feng, and helped him sit down first.
Li Guosheng wiped away his tears and comforted him:
“Child, your parents went back without your sister. She’s with your maternal grandfather, so there’s still hope for her.”
Li Feng had already lost confidence. He had also checked his grandfather's information along the way, but there was no trace of them.
His maternal grandfather was over seventy years old and had a younger sister who was over ten years old. He couldn't even imagine how the two of them could survive the apocalypse.
Li Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth, wishing he could tear the murderer who killed his parents to pieces.
"Who killed my parents?"
The survivors in the house also felt the same hatred when those people were mentioned! They wished they could grind them to dust!
Li Ruonan replied, "The one who led them was called Hu Wei. All of them were killed by Sister Xin. We were also rescued by Sister Xin."
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, "Sister Xin?"
Even Li Yiyuan, who had been expressionless the whole time, couldn't help but look at Li Ruonan, who was speaking.
When Li Ruonan mentioned Xin'er, her gratitude and admiration were crystal clear.
“Li Xin’er is also in the entertainment industry. You should know her. She was the one who saved us when she passed through Tianxi Town. Her friend, Miss Leng, brought us here and settled us in this base.”
Li Feng nodded. How could he not recognize her? Sister Xin had helped him again.
Next, Li Feng asked some more detailed questions, and Li Ruonan recounted the events and the details of her witnessing the deaths of Li Feng's parents.
Li Feng gritted his teeth, and after listening, tears streamed down his face again.
After leaving Li Guosheng's place, Li Feng was still immersed in grief. Li Yiyuan patted him on the shoulder, took out a pack of cigarettes, and offered him one.
"Want one?"
Li Feng took it blankly, his bloodshot eyes lifeless.
"Brother Li, I want to go to the supermarket to find Sister Xin and thank her."
I just learned from Li Ruonan that Sister Xin works at Base S, and she owns the supermarket there.
I used to think it was unbelievable that a supermarket could be opened in the apocalypse, but now that I know it was opened by Sister Xin, it makes perfect sense.
It's not surprising that Sister Xin can do it.
Li Yiyuan pinched the cigarette butt between his thumb and forefinger, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke that blurred his expression.
"I won't go with you, I'll wait for you outside."
She probably doesn't want to see him.
He didn't dare to look at her either.
Li Feng didn't know exactly what had happened between the two of them at the bookstore that night, and he didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Feng was lucky; when he arrived at the supermarket, Xin'er had just come out of her spatial dimension.
When Tan Jingrui contacted her and said that someone named Li Feng was looking for her, Xin'er asked Tan Jingrui to bring the person to her place.
"Sister Xin!"
Upon seeing Xin'er again, Li Feng was overjoyed, putting aside his sadness at having just learned the news about his parents.
Xin'er raised her chin and greeted him casually, like an old friend.
"Sit down. Long time no see. You've gotten quite tanned."
The once fair-skinned young man has almost turned into a dark-skinned physical education student.
Li Feng sat down, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"It was fine before, but the sun has been too strong lately, and I've been out in the sun every day."
Xin'er asked knowingly, "Did you arrive yesterday?"
"Hmm." Li Feng tentatively asked, "Brother Li and the children from the orphanage are here."
Xin'er didn't respond, nor did she seem particularly averse to it, so he continued speaking with relief.
"Before the extreme cold, the team that Xiaomi and Xiaomai found in Haishi returned to Province C. We also made a promise to come and visit you together when we have the chance in the future."
"However, Aunt Tang from the orphanage was accidentally scratched by a zombie when we passed through Huishi and couldn't... come here with us. She has been thinking about you a lot."
Xin'er's expression remained calm throughout, showing no annoyance, dislike, sadness, or distress.
Li Feng focused on the important points and didn't mention anything else, sincerely saying:
“I’ve learned about my parents’ situation from Third Uncle and the others. Sister Xin, thank you for saving them and for getting rid of those scourges.”
Xin'er then showed some reaction, shaking her head slightly.
"It was just something I did on the way, but those people were blind and provoked me first."
Although that was the truth, Li Feng still felt indebted to her.
"If Sister Xin hadn't brought me out of the hotel in Haishi, I don't know how long I would have stayed in the room. I will remember Sister Xin's kindness."
He insisted on thinking this way, and Xin'er couldn't force him to change his mind.
What are your plans next?
Li Feng forced a strong smile.
"I will continue to look for my sister and grandfather. There are so many bases. What if they are somewhere waiting for me to find them? I must always have hope."
Xin'er nodded, offering a suitable reminder.
"Even if you want to search, it's best to wait until after the extreme heat before setting off. The extreme heat should arrive in a few days, so you don't end up stuck on the road."
Feeling the goodwill extended by Xin'er, Li Feng felt a little more relaxed.
"Yes, that's what I'm planning to do too."
Xin'er: "Communication between the bases has been restored. After that, information will be shared, and finding people will be much easier and faster."
Thinking about her future plans, Xin'er stated frankly:
"Since you've found me, you probably already know that I own the Quanyou Supermarket. Even if the base doesn't come up with any countermeasures, I plan to set up another consignment counter in the supermarket."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng became more curious, "The commission platform?"
