As a child raised in a large family, his ultimate destiny must be to marry into a foreign alliance.
Especially daughters, they are just objects to be sold for a price.
Long before, they had already found a good buyer for this gimmick of the eldest daughter of the Ren family.
But now something unexpected has happened.
The business cannot continue, and it is unknown whether the other party can fulfill the engagement as usual.
They might even have died in the zombie wave!
Ren Xing'an had never thought that Ren Sisi could be of such value at first, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Ren Sisi, who was originally thinking of coming over to bring them something, suddenly felt cold after hearing these words, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She stood there in a daze, her lips trembling slightly, and a hint of broken hurt was obvious in her dark eyes.
After a long time, she smiled bitterly, turned around and left.
It seems that she must plan well for herself.
Even if I can't use Pei Jin, I have to find a qualified springboard for myself.
After figuring it out, Ren Sisi's fingers gradually clenched into fists.
She looked at her palm, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes!
Since these people are able to possess superpowers, she is no exception!
If she dies after being bitten by a zombie once, that is her fate, so forget it.
But as long as she is still alive, when she comes back again, these people will have to pay the price!
After figuring it out, Ren Sisi simply washed up here and quickly left.
To show her filial piety, she also prepared some clean water for Zhao Yu and Ruan Liming.
No one knew what Ren Sisi was thinking.
Ruan Lingran stayed at the counter until evening, but no one came. She supported her head with one hand and yawned lazily.
Pei Jin is always the one who goes out early and comes back late.
Both Ren Xing'an and Ren Qibai have returned, but there is still no sign of Pei Jin!
"When will brother come back?" Lele couldn't help but speak softly.
His slightly curly hair trembled, and there was mist in his eyes as he looked at Ruan Lingran, with a bit of broken sadness.
"Lele misses her mother a little bit. When can we see her again?"
He hasn't had a video call with his mother for a long time.
Before, she would think of him every once in a while, but it has been half a month and my mother still doesn’t think of him.
"They all say I'm a motherless child, and that my mother didn't want me because she hated me."
Lele thought about it, squeezed into Ruan Lingran's arms, and complained softly.
These innocent words with a hint of grievance made Ruan Lingran's heart feel as if it was stabbed by something.
"There is no way that Mom doesn't want you. There is no mother who doesn't like her own child." Ruan Lingran said in a low voice.
Although, she had never felt any maternal love, and even the people she met were very bad.
But Lele is well protected and has a master like Pei Jin by his side.
It must be because his mother encountered circumstances beyond her control that she was unable to take the child away.
Lele looked at Ruan Lingran, thought about it, and finally hugged Ruan Lingran.
Now they can only keep each other warm. It’s good enough to have someone by their side!
Pei Jin came back wrapped in thick dust. He was slightly injured and had been hastily bandaged. At this moment, his brows were furrowed and there was only a hint of gloom in his eyes.
He held a recorder in his hand and sighed.
"Brother!" Lele suddenly showed an extremely sweet smile, trotted over, and tried to let Pei Jin hug him.
Pei Jin readily took the person into his arms and patted Lele's head gently.
He usually didn't have much chance to talk to Lele, but at this moment he couldn't help but ask softly: "Lele, do you like staying here?"
"I have a sister and a brother here. I like it very much. My sister is very kind to me and helps me find cartoons to watch."
Lele tilted his head and thought about it seriously. Maybe it was because he was too young and he still couldn't forget his mother, he added in a low voice.
“It would be nice if Mom could live here too.”
The smile on Pei Jin's face disappeared without a trace when he heard these words.
"Okay, then I will definitely work harder to find your mother as soon as possible so that you can all live here safely."
After he said this, he nodded gently at Ruan Lingran and went upstairs with Lele in his arms.
After coaxing the little guy to sleep, Pei Jin came out. He seemed to be going out further.
Ruan Lingran quickly stopped him: "You are injured."
If you keep going outside like this, you will die.
"There's a laboratory nearby, and initially we were able to connect with another laboratory abroad from here."
Pei Jin spoke lightly.
Now it is the end of the world, and there is not much point in keeping those secrets.
Noticing the deep nostalgia flashing in Pei Jin's eyes, Ruan Lingran shut up obediently.
She also took the initiative to bring two glasses of water and placed them next to herself and Pei Jin. He acted as a quiet listener.
"I brought Lele here this time because I originally hoped to send him abroad to be with his mother through the laboratory here."
"Or maybe... Lele could come back with her mother, but now, the laboratory has been destroyed."
"It wasn't attacked by a wave of zombies, but was clearly destroyed by human hands. Among all the ruins, this is the only thing I found."
While speaking, Pei Jin directly pressed the recorder, and an intermittent female voice, with a distinct electric current sound, emerged unclearly.
“I wonder who will have the chance to pick up this recorder.”
"We...were...attacked."
This sentence was intermittent, and it should be the name of the murderer.
But due to electromagnetic influence, they can no longer hear it.
"The virus is spreading, and you will all be in danger."
"If you are a kind-hearted person, please tell my child that his name is Lele after you get out."
"Lele, mommy loves you."
Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely harsh sound of electricity and a scream.
When Ruan Lingran heard the voice, she instinctively knew that the situation was not good.
There was also a hint of seriousness in Pei Jin's eyes.
"Logically, Lele's mother should be in a laboratory abroad. Her sudden appearance here must mean that something major has happened to the experiment."
Pei Jin was not clear about the specific details of the experiment.
However, it is a huge risk to withdraw personnel who are doing experiments and ask them to leave their original positions without permission!
"Then...what are you going to do next?" Ruan Lingran looked at Pei Jin tentatively, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Such a strong bodyguard is hard to find in the apocalypse!
