Ten days gradually passed.
There is no news from Zhan Siyu's side.
Shangguan Yu and Nangong Chen were also extremely anxious.
Long Yehua did manage to glean a little information, but that was all.
Only Xiao Jing encountered the increasingly gaunt Leng Fantian on this day.
It was truly a coincidence. Xiao Jing had given up on finding the person, but when he stayed at an abandoned hotel on his way back to the city, he heard someone knocking on the door. And just like that, he found the person that a group of people were looking for in a wardrobe.
At this time, Leng Fantian had not eaten for many days in order to avoid those people. Finally, due to his weak body, he could not withstand it and fell asleep in the wardrobe.
Looking at my brother's current state, even if you drew a portrait of him, you probably wouldn't be able to find him.
Only Leng Fantian wept uncontrollably upon seeing his long-lost brother. He thought he was about to die, but his brother appeared before him like a god.
Xiao Jing didn't know what had happened to his brother, so he waited until his brother had finished crying before saying, "Don't cry anymore, or the brothers will laugh at you to death if they find out."
"Let him laugh. What do I have to fear from someone who has already died?"
Seeing his brother's disheveled appearance, Xiao Jing chuckled and said, "Eat something, then change your clothes. Look at how you look like a refugee."
"Do you think I wanted this? Someone captured me. If I weren't smart, I would have been sliced up and fed to the zombies by now."
"Who the hell dares to touch my brother? I'll avenge you."
Leng Fantian grabbed Xiao Jing's arm and shook his head, saying, "Don't go. We can't beat them. There are too many of them. Even if we want revenge, I need to bring more people to take down their base."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Once you've rested well, we'll go back to the base. The six of us brothers will finally be reunited."
Upon hearing that everyone else was alive, Leng Fantian asked happily, "Are they all alright?"
“They’re definitely better than you. You still care about them. But we came out this time to find you. I don’t know where Zhan got his confidence from, but he insisted that you were still alive and that he would only feel at ease if he found you. This time we split into several groups, and I was the only one who was lucky enough to find you.”
Listening to his brother's words, Leng Fantian was deeply moved. He realized how good it felt to be remembered.
Xiao Jing then asked, "I remember you were in Beijing back then, weren't you? How did you end up in a place so far away from Beijing?"
When Leng Fantian was asked this question, he immediately thought of the time when he was tricked, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"What's wrong? You didn't get scammed too, did you? But I remember you and A-Zhan both don't have any family left, do you?"
Holding a loaf of bread, Leng Fantian immediately asked, "Who else got scammed?"
When Xiao Jing was questioned by his brother, he started to gossip and betrayed all his brothers, making them sound really miserable. This made Leng Fantian, who was feeling uncomfortable, feel like he had found his tribe.
We are both fellow sufferers in this world!
However, I'm still a little embarrassed to talk about what happened. I can't exactly tell my brother that he fell in love with a man and then got played, can I?
He still can't forget that person; that handsome face always pops into his mind from time to time.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I was betrayed by someone I liked. When I opened my eyes again, I was in an underground laboratory. If my superpower hadn't been activated so secretly that those people hadn't detected it, your brother would either be a zombie or be nothing but bones by now."
"So the people who arrested you were those people from the lab?"
Leng Fantian took a sip of water and then replied, "Yes, I only know some martial arts. I can't beat those with superpowers, so after I escaped, I went into hiding. And that's how you see me now."
Xiao Jing lit a cigarette and said calmly, "I was wondering why there were other superhumans here. Turns out they were looking for you. Looks like we need to head back quickly. If they find you, it'll definitely be a tough battle."
Upon hearing his brother's words, Leng Fantian realized something and immediately said nervously, "You must tell your men to be careful of them. They have tranquilizer guns. The people in that underground laboratory are the ones who go around capturing lone superhumans and then conducting experiments on them."
Holy crap! Is this even possible?
"Yes, I know what they do with the crystal cores of superhumans. I didn't learn anything else in the lab, but I memorized all their research data. The priority now is to get back to base immediately; it's not safe here."
"Okay, since it's not safe, let's leave now. But bear with me for a bit while I change your clothes and darken your skin so that even if we run into each other, no one will recognize you."
After Leng Fantian had eaten and drunk his fill and regained his strength, he helped Xiao Jing change his clothes and put on disguises. Then the group set off in their car.
When passing other survivors, they didn't stop at all and just walked right past them.
After all, we've already found a lot of supplies; now, the safety of our brothers is the top priority.
As they hurried back, they kept encountering zombies blocking their way.
However, the hot-tempered Xiao Jing and his brothers cleaned them up, since crystal cores were still very important resources.
After traveling day and night for three days, Xiao Jing led the first wave of personnel back to the base.
When Nan Xiangwan learned that someone had returned, he immediately went out to see who had come back first.
When he saw that Xiao Jing had returned with his men first, he felt a little disappointed, but seeing them looking like refugees, he felt quite sorry for them.
"Xiao Jing, what's going on with you guys? Did you go mining?"
Hearing his sister-in-law's teasing, Xiao Jing said speechlessly, "Don't even mention it. The whole journey was nerve-wracking. We were afraid something might happen. We had to take turns driving non-stop, risking our lives to get back."
Nan Xiangwan asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Ahem, let's talk about it when we get back. Let me introduce someone to my sister-in-law first. This is my brother, Leng Fantian. We're here to find him. I'm lucky to have finally found him."
Leng Fantian looked at Nan Xiangwan and thought to himself that Zhan Siyu had really struck it lucky.
He then smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law, just call me Xiaotian."
Nan Xiangwan nodded in acknowledgment and said with a smile, "Hello." Then she said to Xiao Jing, "Tell your men to go back and rest. You and Xiao Tian should also go back and take a shower. We can talk about other things after you've rested."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Then the people who returned to the base cleared the area instantly.
Nan Xiangwan saw that the person she missed hadn't returned, and walked back dejectedly. However, the thought that she would see him in less than 5 days made her feel less unhappy.
If I had known I would miss him so much, I would have been better off going out with him in the first place.
Back at his lodgings, he opened a bottle of red wine and drank it alone.
Whenever I miss that man, I especially want to drink. Only when I drink too much and get drunk can I be free of all my worries.
You could say that drinking can wash away all your sorrows!
