Chapter 488 Brothers
"Lord City Lord." Suddenly, several women in the crowd came forward, pulling their children with them, and knelt before Xiao Xun. Tears of gratitude filled their eyes as they said, "We knew you wouldn't die, and that you would come back to save us."
"Who are you?"
One of the women with short black hair said, "We are from District 2. We were attacked by the astronauts and fled District 2, but were caught by these people on the way."
"Where are the others? Where is Xiao Ruo?"
The short black-haired woman cried, "Those who escaped died, and those who were lost were lost. Miss Xiao Ruo, we didn't see her when we fled. The scene was too chaotic."
"Get up." Ye Li stepped forward and helped the woman and child who were kneeling on the ground up. She asked, "Do you have any plans for where to go?"
The woman shook her head. "No. When we heard there was a convoy in the main city, we just wanted to flee and find the main force, but we never encountered one."
Ye Li and the others fell into silence. It was not easy for them to move forward. They could not take so many people with them to the space city, nor could they abandon them.
They are all women and children. Regardless of whether I am responsible or not, I can't bear to leave them here to die.
"Li Zi?" Xiao Xun looked over and asked what Ye Li meant.
Ye Li sighed and said, "Send them to a safe place first, then we'll set off."
It's late at night now, and it's not easy to travel.
The women and children were placed in an empty house to rest, and Xiao Xun and his men would send them to a safe place the next morning.
Ye Li lay down on the blanket she had slept on before. She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep at all. In the end, she could only keep her eyes open and wait until dawn. Xiao Xun was not by her side, he was keeping watch downstairs.
"Hello! Is anyone there?" someone shouted outside the house.
Ye Li, who had not slept all night, sat up suddenly. The astronaut who had fainted last night woke up and was shouting in the yard.
"The kid outside is awake!" Lin Jia, who was sleeping on another mat, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked towards the window.
Wu Xuan and Wang Lun, who were stationed in another building, quickly came out of the building. The windows of that building were filled with women and children, all looking down.
Ye Li also stood up, walked to Lin Jia, and looked in the direction he was looking.
In the open space, Qingzi, a young team member who was detained on the truck, just woke up. Looking at the bodies of his teammates all over the ground, he was terrified. He fainted yesterday and didn't know what had happened.
Xiao Xun and his men went out and surrounded him.
"What's your name?" Xiao Xun asked.
Qingzi had a mournful face and said in fear, "My name is Qingzi. Who are you? Why did you kill them?"
"They?" Xiao Xun turned and looked at the corpse lying there, saying, "Don't they deserve to die?"
"Yes, they deserved death." Even Qingzi himself agreed. He closed his eyes and said, "Now that I'm in your hands, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Xiao Xun said, "I heard you arguing with them last night. I know you're not an unforgivable person. I'll give you two choices: either join us or become like them."
Qingzi opened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are you really willing to let me go?"
"Yes." Xiao Xun said, "I'll give you a chance to make amends, as long as you stop aiding and abetting the evil."
"I did those things in the past because I had no choice. If you can give me a chance, I promise that I will never do anything bad again in my life." Qingzi raised his empty hand and swore.
"Uncuff him!"
Wang Lun stepped forward, took the key he found from their leader, and unlocked Qingzi's handcuffs.
Qingzi stood up from the ground. He looked at the bodies of his teammates and pleaded, "Although they deserved to die, they are still my brothers. Can I bury them? It will be quick and won't take up much time."
