Chapter 197 I’m happy to accompany you.
Zhou Xue Ning pursed her lips, pulled her skirt down a few inches, and stared at the black wound on her thigh, which was where she was infected.
"Your Majesty, I really want to cry..."
No tears, can't cry.
Li Yanli's voice softened. "Let's just treat this as the last time we see each other. Commander Qin Xiaoshuang promised me she wouldn't tell anyone else about our impending death. So once we're underground, even though your mother won't be able to see you, she'll think you're somewhere safe, a lively little zombie."
Zhou Xuening understood what he meant: "Then my mother will work hard to live in order to see me again."
"right."
Zhou Xuening sat beside her silently for a long time, her mood still low: "If I had known earlier, I would have talked to her a little longer before leaving."
Li Yanli was in a heavy mood. He hadn't comforted anyone for a long time and didn't know what to say to make the little girl feel better in this situation.
Zhou Xue Ning thought about it for a long time but still felt unwilling to give up. She asked, "It's still some time before my mother goes underground. Can I stay with her during this time? The people there don't seem to be hostile to zombies. They will definitely agree, right?"
Li Yanli said, "If you had more fond memories of your time with your mother, wouldn't it be more painful to think about them after we parted?"
Zhou Xuening said, "Yes, but I don't mind. If possible, I would like to have my hands and feet tied up every day, or locked in a cage, or even put in a big metal box. Even if I can't see her, I can hear her voice every day and chat with her."
Li Yanli listened to her hypothesis and saw her face burning with hope, and was silent for a moment.
It's one thing for zombies to walk by under the watchful eye of a predator, or sit by and watch a party.
Being in the same house or street with zombies for a long time is another matter entirely.
The trust between humans and zombies is not enough for them to agree to let Zhou Xue Ning stay in the base, even if she is locked up like a prisoner. They will not be able to sleep knowing that there is a zombie there.
There was no point in using lies to please the little girl at this moment. Li Yanli shook her head and said, "Even if I told Commander Qin about your ideas, she would reject them."
Although Shu Lan seemed tolerant, she was actually more rational and sensible than him. She knew exactly what she could and couldn't do.
At this point, she absolutely could not agree to put a zombie in the base because of emotional reasons, leaving a dangerous factor and causing confusion among the people.
Zhou Xue Ning's last hope was shattered, and she lowered her head: "Okay, Your Majesty, I understand."
She stood up, brushed the snow off her skirt, jumped from the roof to the second adjacent house, and disappeared into the night.
After Jiang Jun helped the humans install the wireless radio, he brought back the video of the last party. Li Yanli didn't have to go to Crescent Bay to make a deal with Shu Lan this year.
But to his surprise, when summer arrived as scheduled, Shu Lan still contacted him, and the first thing she said was a critical hit.
"I must be here first this time, because I'm already standing on the beach. Li Yanli, come find me!"
At that moment, all the other noises in Li Yanli's ears disappeared, leaving only the waves and her voice clear.
He remained still for a long time before opening his mouth slightly, his Adam's apple rolling several times with difficulty. He asked dryly, "What did you call me just now?"
Shu Lan said calmly, "I call you Li Yanli. You haven't noticed that I haven't called you by that fake name in a long time. Because of the attitude you showed me, I was torn for a long time, wondering whether you wanted me to know or not."
"Know what?"
"Knowing everything about us, I think you intend to carry your memories alone, and won't share even a little with me until you die. Sorry, I have a plunderer here too. There are many auxiliary abilities in this world that people can't imagine. Shu Maomao read your memories and told me everything."
Li Yanli covered her eyes, her voice trembling: "Wait a minute, I'm a little..."
"Unbelievable, isn't it? Whether it was in the previous timeline or now, I always thought you were stupid. You took the most powerful loot, but you didn't take this or that, and even killed yourself to save others. Then I thought, without people like you who protect the weak without asking for anything in return, the world would be completely ruined, and I stopped thinking you were stupid."
On the beach of Crescent Bay, Shu Maomao leaned against a coconut tree that was not completely dead, biting a popsicle and listening to her expose Li Yanli.
"Your memory is too perfect. I'm a very selfish person. Do you think I followed you all the time just because I liked you? No, the main reason is that I don't have any special abilities. Apart from you, I have no one else to rely on. If the plunder is on me, I can live longer than everyone else, just like now."
As she continued to complain in a familiar tone, the shock in Li Yanli's heart gradually subsided. He raised his lips and said, "Yes, that's right."
Shu Lan's self-consistency and strength are unmatched.
"So you don't have to worry. Even though I know you've done so much for me and that you'll turn into a zombie and die soon, I won't be so sad as to cry and wail, or risk my life for you, or even turn into a zombie with you. This is because it's something that has already happened without my knowledge and cannot be changed."
Li Yanli said, "Oh? People nowadays are really cold and heartless. I thought my devoted protection was enough to move your iron heart."
Shu Lan laughed. "Right, let's be honest. Neither you nor I feel as bad as you think. In three months, I'll be completely underground. I originally planned to just watch you continue to play Anselin. Maybe that would make you feel a little more at ease."
"But the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel. What if we go underground and we're still acting against each other? Then I'll never meet someone named Li Yanli again in my life. By then, it will be too late to regret it."
Li Yanli recalled the way Shu Lan looked at him every time they parted. She would bicker with him whenever they met, but only when he said he was leaving would she suddenly look at him seriously.
Thinking about it now, it feels like she was asking: Are you sure you really want to leave? Are you sure you haven't told me yet?
Shu Maomao was right, Shu Lan could read minds and she could see through him.
"So when you told me you liked the child's father, was it the truth or just a random lie?"
"Of course I'm telling the truth. Who would lie to someone in person? Li Yanli, the meteorite will land in three months. I'm not sure if that base can protect us humans and keep us alive. Maybe in this timeline, it will change its location and smash directly into our heads. Whether we're human or zombie, we'll all die. There'll be no chance to start over. I don't want to regret it."
After saying that, Shu Lan chuckled softly: "So, before the end of the world, do you want to have one last love affair with me, respected Zombie King?"
The long hair, red skirt, and slender back burned into ashes again, turning into the broad shoulders, narrow waist, and slender limbs of a young man.
The voice Shu Lan heard changed from a lazy and cool female voice to a clean and clear male voice.
"With pleasure, dear Commander Shu Lan."
