The afternoon's destination is a top-tier hospital 20 kilometers away.
Banxia didn't want to deal with any more shady people, so she asked Li Kongyuan if she and Nanxing could go alone, while the others would meet them in two hours.
Knowing that after what happened at noon, Li Kongyuan would probably have little chance to work with the two again, he agreed without hesitation in order to leave a good impression: "Okay, but if you encounter any trouble that you can't handle, please prioritize your own safety!"
After the two had walked a hundred or two meters, Zhou Wen muttered under her breath, "They're really too ambitious. Aren't they afraid of dying in the hospital and never coming back?"
"Zhou Wen!" Li Kongyuan stared at Zhou Wen sternly. "What nonsense are you spouting now!"
Zhou Wen, in a fit of despair, said defiantly, "These two ordinary people, who haven't received any professional training, actually complain that our well-trained soldiers are holding us back. I'm speaking up for the soldiers!"
Li Kongyuan really wanted to crack open Zhou Wen's head to see if it was filled with tofu dregs. Who gave her the audacity to sow discord between the military and civilians in broad daylight?!
"Which of their words complained that the soldiers were holding us back? Besides, even if they did say that, so what? Are our soldiers capable of chasing down and killing hordes of mutated rats, or are they protected by loyal mutated trees and animals?"
He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to spend more time with Banxia and get closer to her, and ask her how to subdue the mutated tree. However, because of Zhou Wen, Banxia now looked at him with strong defensiveness and impatience. If it weren't for the spirit of the contract, he probably would have already run away with the bucket!
Zhou Wen gritted her teeth and pleaded in a low voice, "Brother Li, it's not that I can't stand to see people do well, it's just that the Xin family of four was murdered after they came into contact with Banxia and Nanxing. Don't you have even a little bit of suspicion in your heart?!"
"Besides, China prohibits guns, so where did these two ordinary people get their guns from?"
Li Kongyuan's gaze was cold: "Do you have enough lives, enough toughness?"
Zhou Wen was stunned: "What?"
Li Kongyuan sneered, "If Banxia and Nanxing could have silently killed the entire Xin family before the apocalypse, do you think you could have escaped if they wanted to kill you?"
It would be impossible for him not to have any doubts, but he knew that the world was not simply black and white.
Sometimes, it's harder than climbing to heaven for ordinary people to get justice under the rule of power; otherwise, where would all these wrongful convictions come from?
He does not approve of violence in response to violence because once ordinary people embark on the path of personal revenge, the price they pay will be their entire life, or even their lives, which is too tragic for those seeking justice.
But if someone is driven to desperation and resorts to violence, he will not utter any harsh words.
After all, if there are legitimate channels to uphold justice, who would be willing to take shortcuts?
Zhou Wen's lips trembled as she tried to retort, but she saw Banxia looking at her coldly from several hundred meters away. Her face turned pale instantly, and she could no longer utter a single word.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Nanxing saw Banxia suddenly turn around, and curiously followed her back, only to find the street empty and there was nothing there.
“It’s nothing,” Banxia said, taking his hand and suddenly asking, “Do you think there’s still hope for humanity?”
In her previous life, when she died, only 80 million of the country's 1.6 billion population remained, and that was only the fifth year of the apocalypse.
Nanxing has indeed pondered this question: "Human history spans six million years, with wars, diseases, and natural disasters throughout. The reason we have been able to reproduce and pass on our heritage to this day is due to our unparalleled wisdom and ability to quickly adapt to the environment."
"Although the apocalypse is terrible, humanity is constantly evolving, and I believe that one day we will rebuild our home."
Banxia tilted her head to look at him: "I disagree with you, because the greatest crisis for mankind does not come from natural disasters, but from within."
The law of the jungle is the nature of animals, and humans are one type of animal.
The struggle between people has never stopped because of adverse external environments; in fact, it has intensified. If humanity does not perish, then who will?
“As long as we’re together,” Nanxing put his arm around Banxia’s shoulder, “it doesn’t seem so scary if that day really comes.”
"And gold, silver, dumplings, Tiantian, and apricots, our family will always be together!"
About half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the top-tier hospital.
Banxia opened the car door, and Yinzi took the lead and rushed towards the zombies following behind the car. Jinzi, Tiantian, and Xingzi were not to be outdone, and even the timid Tuanzi followed behind with his four short legs trembling.
Banxia and Nanxing exchanged a glance. Is this the joy of having many children at home?
Holy crap! A giant panda!
"Jiang Chao, do you want to die by shouting like that?!"
"Exactly, what if we summon zombies... Holy crap, pandas!"
"Li Lin, do you want to die too?"
"Huang Peng, there really are giant pandas!" x2
Banxia looked curiously toward the source of the sound and saw three young men wearing helmets and masks and holding crowbars arguing quietly behind a telephone pole.
Jiang Chao wanted to take another look at the giant panda, but he accidentally met Banxia's gaze. He quickly nudged his two brothers and said, "Stop arguing, it's embarrassing!"
The worst part is that it was thrown in front of a big shot!
Banxia looked away because the little ones had returned.
She took the bag containing the crystal cores, patted each one on the head, and praised, "Great job!"
"I want to touch a giant panda too!"
A sour, jealous voice came from behind the telephone pole.
Jinzi, Yinzi, Tuanzi, Tiantian, and Xingzi paused in their coquettish actions and simultaneously looked towards the telephone pole.
Jiang Chao, who was muttering to himself, stiffened for a few seconds, then chuckled awkwardly and waved his right hand: "Hi~"
Fearing the big boss might misunderstand, Huang Peng quickly stepped out from behind the telephone pole and explained, "Beautiful lady, handsome gentleman, we were hiding here before, we weren't spying on you on purpose. Don't worry, the three of us will leave right away!"
As he spoke, he tentatively pulled Jiang Chao and Li Lin back more than ten meters. Seeing that Banxia and Nanxing did not make any move, he immediately took off running, almost losing his shoes in the process.
Gold, silver, dumplings, every day, apricots: ...
Pinellia ternata, Arisaema heterophyllum: ...
Are we that scary?
This was just a minor incident. Banxia assigned tasks according to the plan: "Jinzi is responsible for cleaning the second and third floors, Yinzi is responsible for cleaning the fourth and fifth floors, Xingzi is responsible for cleaning the sixth floor, and Nanxing, Tuanzi, Tiantian, and I are responsible for cleaning the first floor and the basement. Does everyone understand?"
"Meow--"
"Woof—"
"Whoosh—"
clear!
Banxia, still worried, reminded the cat, dog, and tree, "Don't be reckless if you encounter zombies or mutated animals you can't defeat. Ask your older brothers and sisters for help, okay? If you get hurt, your older brothers and sisters will be very sad!"
Jinzi, Yinzi, and Xingzi nodded obediently, listening to their older sister.
