Chapter 167 Escape
"I'll go first." Xiao Xun stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Li behind him, then jumped down from the tree house first. The zombies immediately rushed forward. He deftly inserted the tip of the branch into the zombie's head, then pulled it out to deal with the next one.
There were too many zombies and they all surrounded Xiao Xun.
Ye Li also jumped down and started to deal with the zombies from the outside.
The two worked together and it took half an hour to kill all the zombies.
"Huff, huff..." Ye Li gasped for breath: "I'm so tired."
Xiao Xun looked at her, reached out and wiped the stains off her face, and said, "Go back quickly. Don't you have to rush to have breakfast?"
"Okay." Ye Li walked to the bottom of the tree house, opened his arms and said, "Xixi, jump down, and Mommy will catch you."
Ye Li was of limited height and the distance between him and the tree house was a bit high, so Xixi sat on the edge of the tree house and didn't dare to jump down.
"Mom, I'm scared. It's too high."
"I'll catch you."
Xixi shook her head, still not daring to jump down.
Over there, Xiao Xun washed the blood off his body in a puddle. Seeing this, he hurried over and stretched out his hand, saying, "Uncle is here to pick you up. You won't be scared, will you?"
With Xiao Xun's height, he could touch the edge of the tree house with his hand. This distance made Xixi feel safe. She jumped down immediately and was caught by Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun simply carried Xixi back home.
After walking back along the same route for half an hour, they returned to the forest tribe.
"Ms. Ye, where have you been? It's easier for us to find you."
Xiao Xun returned Xixi to Ye Li. With a serious face, he told her the whole story and asked the people of the forest tribe to re-check the background of this wave of new refugees.
Li Yuan's face turned serious after hearing this, because he was responsible for the safety of the forest tribe. Now such a thing happened in his territory, which was simply a slap in his face.
"Ms. Ye, don't worry, I will definitely find the bad guy's accomplices." Li Yuan gave an order and called over several warriors from the forest tribe, who went to check the new refugees in a menacing manner.
Ye Li and the others were hungry, so they went to the place where they had breakfast.
When Manager Li Yunkai heard that Ye Li was frightened, he specially invited them to the restaurant's tree house and asked the chef to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for them.
Warm milk, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, and a bowl of mixed noodles, just looking at them makes one's mouth water.
Xixi sat down on the stool, staring at the liquid in the cup with her round eyes. She reached out and touched the cup, asking curiously, "Is this soy milk? But it doesn't seem to be."
Xiao Xun, who had already taken his seat and begun eating mixed noodles, looked up at the sound. He glanced at the milk beside him, his eyes dimming a little, and a dull ache in his heart. It was just ordinary milk. People in their Holy City even used milk for bathing, but this was his daughter's first time seeing milk.
Ye Li was very optimistic. She smiled and said to her daughter, "This is called milk. It's produced by cows. Drinking it can help you grow taller and make your skin whiter."
"Really?" Xixi picked up the cup and took a sip. The corners of her mouth were stained with milk foam. She smiled sweetly, as cute as an angel. Her round eyes widened and she said, "It's delicious." Then she stood up and gestured at her height, "Mom, I seem to have grown taller."
"Haha...how can it be so fast?" Ye Li covered his mouth and laughed, and his pair of almond eyes suddenly turned into crescent eyes.
"Mom." Xiaomu also came, followed by Mr. Xu and Xu Jie.
As soon as Xiaomu entered the house, he ran straight to Ye Li. He looked at Ye Li and then at his sister Xixi. Seeing that they were both safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard about your story. We were all scared yesterday." Mr. Xu and Xu Jie found a place to sit down.
Mr. Xu continued, "But then it started to rain heavily, and we couldn't light the torches. We couldn't see the road clearly at night, so we had no choice but to return."
"We're fine." Ye Li thought of the scattered zombies and said, "There were probably thousands of zombies surrounding us yesterday, but they were gone when I woke up this morning. I don't know if they will come over to us in the future. If they do, it would be too dangerous. We can't stay in the tree house 24 hours a day."
