Chu Yunxiao slumped against the sofa, looking utterly dejected and forlorn.
“Deep down I hate Bai Lu, I even loathe her, but there’s a force that compels me to be good to her and even unconditionally agree to her requests.”
"Uncle, do you know?"
"When I agreed to Bailu's request without thinking, I was a little confused. When Bailu called me Yunxiao, I even felt that she had called me that countless times before. It was really weird."
"It's as if there's a force that compels me to be with Bailu, controlling my life, deciding my future, and causing me to lose the person I love most."
Thinking of that feeling of being powerless, Chu Yunxiao burst into tears in front of Qin Ruixu.
“An Ran was so gentle and considerate to me, and so virtuous. How could I not love her? But I hurt the woman I loved most, and made her leave in despair.”
"Uncle, I hate this kind of life. I want to be myself again. I just want to live with An Ran and my four children, but things never go as planned."
Looking at Chu Yunxiao, whose face was full of dejection and despair, Qin Ruixu didn't know whether to pity him or gloat.
“Yunxiao, I believe that human will can overcome nature. As long as you are determined, no one can control you, not even God.”
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens" has always been Qin Ruixu's belief, which has led to his current achievements.
“Uncle, I’m not as good as you. If An Ran had met you, she wouldn’t have had such a tiring and difficult life. It’s heartbreaking.”
Qin Ruixu remained silent, but his eyes flickered as he looked at Chu Yunxiao and asked, "What do you plan to do? Are you going to go find An Ran?"
Chu Yunxiao said painfully, "An Ran doesn't want me to find her. No matter how hard I look, I won't find her."
Qin Ruixu frowned. Liu Anran had four children with her, so they shouldn't have gone far. However, he had sent people to search the area around the base, but they couldn't find the mother and her four children, and he didn't know where they were hiding.
"Yunxiao, aren't you worried about Anran and the four children?"
“Especially the triplets, they are only a month old. An Ran has to take care of them all by herself, which is very hard. If the children’s crying attracts zombies, how will she cope with four children by herself?”
Qin Ruixu looked at Chu Yunxiao and frowned, saying, "An Ran is so beautiful that even Duan Yi and Liu Changqing are infatuated with her. What if someone else covets her?"
Chu Yunxiao recalled that when Liu Anran was in a car accident and fell off a cliff, she was heading into the mountains. He said firmly, "The children are still young. Anran will definitely avoid the noisy towns and go deep into the mountains. She will definitely settle down in the mountains, raise the children, and then bring them out to experience life."
Qin Ruixu paused for a moment, then said worriedly, "But there are mutated animals and plants in the deep mountains, and there might even be zombie animals. She and the child will be in great danger."
Chu Yunxiao remembered that Liu Anran had a spatial dimension, which contained everything. When she encountered danger in the mountains, she could enter the spatial dimension to hide without any worries. A faint smile appeared on his face.
“An Ran has always been a master strategist. Before taking a step forward, she has already thought about how to take three steps back. Otherwise, with her looks, she would have been eaten alive long ago. The fact that she has survived to this day is due to her extraordinary abilities.”
Chu Yunxiao suddenly stood up, took out more than twenty guns from his spatial storage, along with two boxes of bullets, a pile of vegetables, and several large bags of grain.
Qin Ruixu looked at Chu Yunxiao with confusion, wondering why he had taken out these things.
"Uncle, I'm going to find An Ran. I'm entrusting my mother and grandmother to your care," Chu Yunxiao said.
Qin Ruixu said, "The world is so big, and there are so many mountains. You don't even know where An Ran is. If you go looking for her now, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Chu Yunxiao said resolutely, "A wild goose leaves a trace, and An Ran will always leave some clues. I believe that as long as I search hard, I will definitely find them. Moreover, I also want to get rid of that inexplicable force. Maybe if I stay far away from Bai Lu, I will no longer be controlled by that force."
Chu Yunxiao thought for a moment, then reluctantly took out two bottles of water from his spatial storage and handed them to Qin Ruixu. Liu Anran had given him this water for self-defense, and he had always been reluctant to drink it, saving it carefully. Qin Ruixu was his uncle, and he had taken such good care of him; he hoped that Qin Ruixu would be safe and sound.
"No matter how badly you are injured, as long as you drink the water in the bottle, it will heal your wounds and also cure the zombie virus. You only have one life, so don't be foolish and give it to someone else to drink."
Chu Yunxiao looked at Qin Ruixu with a dark expression, "Be careful of the people around you. You've given them too much power. Once they taste power, they'll become greedy and want even more."
Qin Ruixu narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in his deep gaze, and said coldly, "Do you know something?"
"Uncle, I have discovered some clues, but you have to investigate them yourself. If I say too much, it will be suspected of sowing discord between you and your trusted subordinates. The water in your hand is life-saving water, so don't let any of your people know about it."
Qin Ruixu stared at the two bottles of water on the table. When he went on missions, Liu Anran had given him a few bottles of this water, telling him to drink a few sips when he was feeling down. He knew that the water in the bottles was good stuff. He carefully stored the water that Liu Anran gave him and hid it in his room.
The water in the bottle that Chu Yunxiao treasures so much is probably more precious than he imagined, and its source must be Liu Anran. It must be even more precious than he imagined, so it's necessary to carry a bottle with him for self-defense.
"Yunxiao, thank you. I will definitely keep it safe," Qin Ruixu said.
Chu Yunxiao smiled and said, "Uncle, my return date is uncertain. The people in my team are quite good in terms of both ability and character. They also admire you very much. Why don't you take them under your command?"
Chu Yunxiao only wanted to live with Liu Anran and their children; power and interests were irrelevant to them.
