Chapter 70 Returning to the Orphanage



Li Xin'er, who had a good night's sleep in the space, didn't get up until noon.

I enjoyed a hot pot-flavored stew and left the space feeling completely satisfied.

She still planned to visit the orphanage, but without showing her face. She would simply leave some supplies there as a way of repaying the orphanage for raising her, and then they would be even, and no one could cause her any trouble.

She has done all she could; if trouble comes knocking again, she will not show any more leniency.

Don't think you can just give them some random things to get rid of them. These days, supplies are more valuable than anything else. In the future, a piece of bread or half a bottle of water can be exchanged for a person.

Today, Li Xin'er is wearing a black leather jacket, black high-top Martin boots, and her hair is styled in a high ponytail, looking cool and stylish.

With a lollipop in her mouth and the Other Shore Sword in her hand, she strolled leisurely through the apocalypse, as if she were in her element.

When the roads are good, she releases a car from her spatial storage and speeds away.

When the roads were congested and traffic was bad, she would just push her way through, killing everything in her path; no one dared to stop her...

This is significantly faster than the speed I achieved yesterday when I traveled with Li Yiyuan and the others.

An hour later, Li Xin'er arrived at the orphanage safely.

The double iron gates were wide open, and several zombies were wandering around the entrance. Hearing the sound of her car, they rushed over.

Recognizing that one of the zombies was a security guard at the orphanage gate, and the others were likely nearby residents, Li Xin'er had a bad feeling.

He immediately turned off the engine, got out of the car, put the car into his spatial storage, gripped the Other Shore Sword, quickly cleared away the zombies at the entrance, and walked inside.

The orphanage was renovated only two years ago; it consists of several buildings that look very new.

The three-story building directly opposite contains the dean's office, medical room, children's library, study room, etc., while the buildings in the back row are dormitories and canteen.

There is a flagpole in front of the main building, where the brightly colored national flag is still flying.

To the left is a row of tall sycamore trees, with wooden benches under the trees, and an asphalt path leading to the accommodation area at the back.

The old sycamore tree was reduced to bare branches, and the withered yellow leaves covered the ground, but they could not conceal the mess of internal organs and limbs.

To the right is a recreational area with many outdoor toys, such as rocking horses and slides.

The children who were playing happily were gone; instead, there were many zombies whose names she could name, surrounding her from all corners.

As before, when the original owner rarely returned, everyone flocked out to welcome her, but this time 'they' were no longer the same people.

The way she was welcomed has also changed.

She wielded her sword without hesitation, quickly reaping the horde of zombies.

As the blade sliced ​​across their necks, heads fell to the ground with a thud.

Memories of these people involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Ah Bao hugged the apple she bought, munching on it while patting his little chest and assuring her.

"Sister Xin, when I grow up, I want to be a big star like you! And earn lots and lots of money! Then I'll buy you apples too!"

Aunt Li from the cafeteria ladled a large spoonful of meat and vegetables onto her plate, and kept nagging about it.

"Xiao Xin, it's been so long since you came back. No matter how busy you are with work, you must take care of your health and eat on time. You're too thin."

Old Mr. Xu in the medical room used to coax her when she was little, saying that medicine was candy whenever she was sick.

"Little Xin'er, this is a sweet candy."

After eating it, she found it was bitter and cried, saying that Grandpa Xu was lying.

Old Xu always laughed so hard he bent over, his gray goatee twitching with each laugh.

"Little Xin'er, be good. After you finish this, Grandpa will buy you candy. It'll be sweet and delicious, and none of the other kids have any."

"If you don't take your medicine, you'll be captured by a monster!"

He pretended to be a monster, baring his teeth at her, just as fierce as he was now.

Li Xin'er felt a deep ache in her heart, as the memories kept churning uncontrollably in her mind.

She closed her eyes in discomfort, but her sword-wielding movements became faster rather than slower.

I silently counted in my mind: 24...34...45...

The sword of the other shore was stained brownish-black. Li Xin'er slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had fallen silent. The breeze that had been sweeping across the ground also fell silent, not daring to make any rash moves.

She stood there quietly, looking down at the bones scattered on the ground. Her lonely figure seemed to transcend the crowd, existing in its own world.

A cold wind suddenly rose, and the bright national flag fluttered once more, blowing loudly.

Li Xin'er looked up and saw the dean's office on the third floor. The dean was pressed against the window, heading in her direction, seemingly oblivious to the pain as he kept bumping forward.

Li Xin'er's pupils constricted instantly, and she felt a tightness in her throat, making it hard to breathe.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Splash.'

She smashed through the fragile glass, her body leaning forward, her hands still reaching out in her direction, as if in an embrace.

'Bang!'

She fell from the third floor onto the concrete ground, becoming part of the flesh and blood on the ground.

Li Xin'er's body trembled uncontrollably, and she clutched her chest with both hands, trying to alleviate her heartache in this way.

She looked up and saw the 'dean' still struggling to move toward her, his eyes suddenly vacant and lifeless.

The original owner's voice as a child echoed in her ears, resonating throughout her mind.

"Dean, Dean, why do they all have mothers, but I don't?"

"Because the dean is Xiaoxinxin's mother."

"Can I call you Mom instead of Dean from now on?"

"sure."

"Mother!"
