Li Xin'er thought for a moment, then asked, "Does Li Feng have a younger sister?"
Li Ruonan nodded, "Yes, she has a younger sister, but it seems she didn't come back this time."
After she finished speaking, she still looked at the old man with some uncertainty, as if she wanted to get a definite answer from him.
The old man wiped away his tears and echoed his sentiment.
“The day Changlin and the others came back, I was in the town and chatted with him for a bit. He told me that he came back to deal with the farmland issue. His child is still in school and has stayed in the city, being cared for by his father-in-law.”
Having found out what she wanted to know, Li Xin'er didn't ask any more questions. She could only say she was incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon such a coincidence...
She politely thanked them, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
The old man forced a polite smile.
"You're too kind. Actually, we should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, we... sigh..."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, his cloudy eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow.
Li Xin'er walked away from the old man, but Li Ruonan still followed.
Seeing her follow, Li Xin'er didn't stop her. After reaching the main gate, she turned to ask her,
"I haven't asked you your name yet."
Li Ruonan was flattered and answered her firmly.
"Li Ruonan, my name is Li Ruonan."
She unconsciously repeated it twice, subconsciously wanting Li Xin'er to remember her.
Li Xin'er nodded with a smile.
"Li Ruonan, hmm, that's a very nice name. Is she related to your family?"
She noticed that the girls with families had all huddled together, while the girl remained alone, so she couldn't help but ask her a question.
Li Ruonan lowered her eyes, biting her lip, and said with a choked voice:
"They're all gone."
Li Xin'er: "Now, no amount of comforting words can soothe your inner pain. Live well and don't let them worry."
Li Ruonan clenched her fist slightly, nodded vigorously, her voice heavy with nasal emotion.
"Um."
Seeing that she was young and a fan of the original owner of this body, Li Xin'er naturally felt a bit biased and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"They will take you to the official safe base shortly. I believe the authorities will make proper arrangements for you, but the situation is serious right now, and the conditions inside the base will not be very good."
Li Ruonan made a firm promise to Li Xin'er.
"It's okay, I can do it."
"If you want to come with me..."
Li Xin'er thought that she felt a connection with the girl, and since she already had quite a few people in her team, one more wouldn't hurt, and the girl could keep Wenwen company.
Unexpectedly, Li Ruonan interrupted her as soon as she began to speak.
No, no need.
She refused decisively, but then, fearing Li Xin'er might misunderstand, she hurriedly added an explanation.
"No, it's not that I'm unwilling, I just don't want to be a burden to you."
As she spoke, she looked at the Zhan Yi group standing in front of Paramount's car. These people all obeyed Li Xin'er, which showed how extraordinary Li Xin'er was.
"I know that following you is definitely the best thing, but now it's the end of the world, and I... I want to become stronger on my own."
As Li Ruonan spoke, the starlight in her eyes shone brighter, and her confidence grew stronger, as if she were filled with hope and burning with fighting spirit.
She looked at Li Xin'er, and said earnestly and expectantly:
"Once I have my own value, if you are still willing to take me in, then let me join your team! I will definitely not let you down, but for now, I want to adapt to this apocalypse."
Hearing that she had her own plans and ideas, Li Xin'er was very pleased. She respected her choice, smiled, and gently patted her head.
"Then I'll wait for you. Good luck, little heart."
"Little Hearts" is a self-designation used by fans of the original work.
At this moment, Li Ruonan almost teared up again, but this time it was not the sadness she felt before, but the emotion.
She nodded firmly, assuring him, "My dear Xin! I will!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The area was quickly cleared, and Leng Luo's people packed up all the supplies and loaded them onto the vehicles. There were vans and small trucks in town, and all the survivors were taken away.
With Leng Luo's original car added to the mix, the line of over a dozen cars stretched out in a long queue.
Lu Peiting naturally followed Li Xin'er and the others, so he got into Li Xin'er's RV.
It was only then that the two had a chance to have a proper chat. Without Li Xin'er asking, Lu Peiting began to recount his experiences.
"I have a home interview program on the 24th and 25th. Sister Xia prepared a lot of supplies for me in the apartment in advance, which is more than enough for me to live on by myself for two months."
Lu Peiting looked tired and rubbed his temples with one hand.
"On the third day of the zombie outbreak, I felt I couldn't just sit and wait to die, so I put on a mask and hat, packed my backpack, and went out to check the situation."
"It went smoothly at first. I went to the supermarket, but as soon as I came out of the supermarket, I ran into Hu Wei and his group who were also looking for supplies."
"They had guns, were arrogant and domineering, and robbed many people. I thought it was better to avoid trouble, so I gave them my backpack and supplies."
To my surprise, they lifted my hat, saw my face, and recognized me.
Hu Wei said he was my fan, and then... he forcibly took me away.
When he said this, Lu Peiting was quite embarrassed and clearly felt a little awkward.
Li Xin'er, however, continued to drink her tea with a blank expression, nodding slightly, seemingly uninterested in anything.
"I was trying to contact my family, but I didn't expect you to pass by here. Thank you so much."
Li Xin'er raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Your family is the Lu family of Kyoto?"
Lu Peiting nodded, then gave a wry smile and helplessly shrugged.
