After the conversation, the officer learned that Chi Yanhuai was the leader's younger brother, and his attitude towards him became much friendlier.
The officer patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "In order to avoid heavy casualties, our routes of action will all be along remote trails."
He pointed in the direction they came from and said in a deep voice, "Commander and the other brothers, please stay in the large warehouse about 500 meters away. We brothers are out here to look for supplies."
The officer and other soldiers carrying supplies walked to a large military truck. One of the soldiers sat in the driver's seat, and the officer opened the front door and let them get in.
"Let's go. The commander will surely be happy to see you."
Chi Yanhuai nodded in response, picked up Tang Anan and let her get in the car first, then he went in himself.
The group took a large military truck to the warehouse where the leader was. No one spoke along the way, there were only faint cries of grief and their moist eyes.
In a heavy silence, they stopped in front of the large warehouse and drove to the side. The officer directed the other soldiers to move the supplies and exchanged signals with the people inside.
They successfully entered the abandoned warehouse. Some of the people inside had numb faces, while others had faint expectations. They all looked at their comrades who came in with different expressions.
"Xiao Qi and the others are back!" Someone shouted, and the others rushed towards their returning comrades, greeting them expectantly and eagerly.
After a while, they discovered that several of their best brothers were missing from the team. Their eyes immediately turned red. The man's face was solemn. He asked his returning comrade in a deep voice, "Where's Ah Zhan?"
The comrade in front of him turned pale, his eyes filled with sadness, "He, died."
"What did you say?!" The man grabbed his comrade by the collar, his words spitting out word by word as if through gritted teeth. "We've encountered a large number of zombies along the way. Zhan is such a good shot, how could he die?!"
The comrade pursed his lips tightly and growled again: "Those monsters are not ordinary zombies!"
"What? What do you mean it's not an ordinary zombie?" The man's eyes darkened and he asked.
"Calm down. What happened to them this time is not that simple." Tang Anan appeared beside the two of them, his childish face showing the composure of an adult.
"What do you know?" The man lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him. He did not show contempt, but his eyes were full of inquiry.
"Your leader will tell you." Tang Anan raised his chin, turned his eyes slightly, and his gaze stayed on the man who was talking to Chi Yanhuai.
She walked slowly closer, while also looking at the man calmly.
His straight military uniform was already stained with blood, and his handsome and tough face was stained with a lot of blood, but it could not hide the military's imposing aura.
The man's arm seemed to be injured, and drops of bright red blood were slowly dripping down his wrist and fingertips.
Tang Anan moved forward and observed carefully. Looking along the torn part of his sleeve, the wound did not seem to be caused by a zombie.
Only then did she feel relieved, patted her skirt, and was too lazy to get involved in the affairs of these two grown men.
Coming to them, Tang Anan pulled Chi Yanhuai's finger and called out obediently, "Brother."
"An'an." Seeing that it was her, Chi Yanhuai tightened his grip on the little hand in his. He looked at his stern-faced brother, a slight smile on the corner of his lips, and said to him, "Brother, this is Tang An'an, and she's my sister."
"Sister?" Chi Yanduo raised his eyebrows slightly, his cold eyes indifferently sweeping over Tang Anan's pretty and childish face, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Where did you pick it up?"
