Chapter 43 Holy City
They quickly went down the stairs of the fire escape, and then moved around the houses in the building, cleverly avoiding the zombies.
"Coo...coo..." Two white birds were still circling in the sky. When they saw Ye Li and the others, they made strange noises and followed them.
"Damn it! This is going to expose our position!" Teammate A cursed and pointed his gun at the bird flying in the sky. He asked Qi Yuanchuan for permission and said, "Captain, let me shoot this bird."
"Are you sure?"
This bird attracts too much attention. If it attracts the zombies back, everyone in the tribe will be in trouble.
"Of course!" Teammate A took a gun and aimed it at a bird flying in the sky, trying to predict where the bird would fly. Finally, with a bang, he missed.
"Coo...coo..." The bird called proudly in the sky, as if mocking.
Teammate A was furious and fired another shot with his gun. The bird dodged and the bullet missed again.
"Let's not fight anymore," the other two teammates said in shame.
Teammate A put his gun away awkwardly: "This bird is really too cunning."
"Well, let's get out of here as soon as possible. These two birds won't follow us forever."
Qi Yuanchuan led his men along the highway back to the holiday home by the sea.
In Mr. Xu's study.
Xiaomu and Xixi took off their blindfolds, revealing their two cute faces to everyone.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Lizi, you've raised your two children very well."
"It's okay," Ye Li said straight to the point: "Mr. Xu, please take a look at my children's condition. Please make sure to cure them."
Mr. Xu checked on Xiaomu and Xixi in turn.
"What do you usually cook for them?"
Ye Li explained one by one: "For breakfast, they usually eat eggs, bread, cakes, etc., and they also drink some soy milk. Of course, these are given to them when they are able to eat. For lunch, they have some vegetables, tofu, etc., and occasionally some chicken. For dinner, they sometimes have noodles or food similar to lunch."
Mr. Xu was stunned. “Your quality of life is too…good.”
Ye Li said, "That was all in the past. Ever since we moved to the city, we can no longer eat these."
At this time, Xixi raised her little head and said to Ye Li, "Mom, I want to eat candied fruit."
Ye Li whispered awkwardly, "Can we eat later?"
"I'm hungry."
"Okay," Ye Li compromised. She untied the small cloth bag on Xixi's back, took out a bag of candied fruit from it, opened the paper package, picked up a candied red date and stuffed it into Xixi's little mouth.
Xixi started eating happily.
"Give me one to try!" Mr. Xu said shamelessly.
Ye Li glanced at him and handed over the candied fruit in his hand.
Mr. Xu looked carefully at them. "There are red dates, peaches, apricots, and plums. Wow! It's quite a complete variety."
After saying this, Mr. Xu picked up a plum and put it in his mouth. "Hmm...it tastes really good, really good! Good cooking skills."
"Mr. Xu, please stop teasing me," Ye Li's face turned pale.
"You have your secrets, I understand. Don't worry, I, Old Xu, won't tell anyone." Old Xu smiled and pinched the two children's cheeks. "With so many delicious foods, it's no wonder you raised them so well. Don't worry, this disease can be cured. Take some medicine and you'll be fine."
"Really? Thank you, doctor," Ye Li was delighted and grateful.
"Don't say goodbye so soon. The disease is easy to treat, but the medicine is hard to find."
"What's the meaning?"
Mr. Xu said, "We don't have the medicine here. Not only here, but also in many places. There is only one place that has it."
"Where?" Ye Li asked.
"The Holy City, the medicine that cures diseases, only the Holy City has it."
"Holy City? What is this place?"
Old Xu smiled, and said with a somewhat yearning look: "This is a great place, a place that everyone yearns for."
