Li Zhenzhen glanced around at everyone one last time. There was no one she wanted to talk to. Her gaze finally settled on Li Ke: "The world is so terrible. I don't want to be reborn."
She plunged the final knife into her own chest, ending her own suffering with her own hands.
Li Ke blinked involuntarily for a moment, then immediately regained her composure. She tore a pattern off Cage's coat and took out a small, black electronic device about the size of a fingernail.
He handed it to Mo Bao'er: "Search your clothes and the clothes of the others to see if they have this thing, and then destroy them."
It was the sounds these little things made that bothered her. She wasn't too upset, but at that moment she just felt quite annoyed.
Mo Bao'er was shocked by the scene of mother and daughter killing each other, and felt really sad. Why did it have to be so extreme?
When she took the things, she glanced at Li Ke carefully and found that Li Ke still had no expression. Mo Bao'er didn't know what to say, so she could only obey and get busy.
Seeing Mo Bao'er's actions, He Ru spontaneously followed suit to help her, and the meeting room finally quieted down.
After a while, Li Ke pointed to several soldiers and ordered them to throw the bodies of Li Zhenzhen and Chen Jiaojiao into the sea.
The women present were stunned for a moment when they heard Li Ke's instructions. Chen Zhizhi couldn't help but say, "They are all dead. They were your biological mother and your own sister after all."
Perhaps it was because she herself had children and felt the emotions of motherhood. Although she was well aware of Li Zhenzhen's past indifference and irresponsibility towards Li Ke, hearing how Li Ke disposed of her body still inevitably aroused her protectiveness towards a mother.
Chen Zhizhi wasn't the only one at the scene with the same thought. Li Keke, meeting their gazes, asked in confusion, "What? You're going to take these two bodies back for burial? You have so much energy, why don't you take over their funeral arrangements?"
Chen Zhizhi fell silent. She was definitely unwilling. It wasn't her responsibility, and besides, she didn't know what would happen to her in the future.
After being rebuked by Li Ke once, He Ru became more subdued and naturally stopped expressing any opinions.
Mo Bao'er is capable, but she won't go against Li Ke. She will do whatever Li Ke arranges.
No one spoke. Li Ke told the men to hurry up and clean up the bloodstains left on the floor.
Dying here would at least allow for a clean sea burial. What's wrong with being buried in the belly of a fish? Even she herself, if she were to die, would choose to jump into the sea rather than let her body fall into the hands of others.
Li Ke took Cage to the liaison room and instructed him to contact the research lab to return the eggs taken from the hostages. In front of him, Li Ke also contacted the Chinese side, requesting that they send someone to pick up the hostages.
After learning about Li Ke's arrangements, Mo Bao'er tried to persuade her to go back with her: "Dad really misses you. I also want you to live with us. Sister, it must be so lonely to be alone out there. I really hope that we can be reunited as a family."
Li Ke endured it twice, but still felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't call me sister. Every time you call me that, I think of Chen Jiaojiao's face, which really spoils the mood."
Mo Bao'er felt wronged: "But that's you, so what should I call you?"
Li Ke: "Just call me by my name, it's just a form of address."
Mo Bao'er: "Are you really not coming back with me?"
Li Ke: "That's not my home, Bao'er. I don't need those things you mentioned anymore, and I don't want to force myself to face them. In my heart, you are still my good friend, but nothing more. I have long since given up on my family, and my emotions are no longer as strong."
Mo Bao'er felt that Li Ke's past emotional trauma had caused her to withdraw into herself so much, and she thought she might be sick.
But when she thought about how Li Ke could lift Cage with one hand and take control of the entire ship in the blink of an eye, Mo Bao'er felt ridiculous.
Li Ke was already powerful enough. What she didn't want was what she actively discarded in the process of becoming stronger, things that never appeared when she needed them. So she abandoned these cheap things.
Mo Bao'er felt somewhat relieved. Everyone has their own choices, and all they can do is not force others or themselves.
"Can I take some photos of you these next few days? Just me, Dad, and Chengcheng. We'll keep these memories to ourselves and not show them to outsiders," Mo Bao'er asked cautiously.
Li Ke looked into her eyes, and the girl's gaze returned to its usual clarity. She nodded and agreed.
Upon receiving Cage's request, Vincent immediately had all the frozen eggs retrieved. The eggs from these individuals were of average quality, so returning them would not result in any loss.
He originally intended to deliver it personally, but considering that Cage had already been captured, it would be troublesome if he were captured as well.
In the end, they sent a junior employee to deliver the items. They had originally planned to share some of their research findings with the recipient, but unfortunately, the recipient wasn't interested at all. As a result, they couldn't reveal too much to attract the recipient.
After two days and three nights of heavy snow, it finally began to subside, but the wind and waves grew increasingly fierce, and the temperature dropped by nearly ten degrees. The ship sent by China to pick them up finally arrived on the ninth day.
As Chen Zhizhi left, she tried to inquire about Dr. Cheng's whereabouts, but Li Ke sneered at her, "Sparing your life is already letting you off easy."
Even if Li Ke doesn't kill Cheng Chenwei, he won't release him again, as Cheng Chenwei is someone who will stop at nothing for research.
