As the weather gradually turned cooler, Chi Xia, Zhang Xin, and Chunli simply reclined the back seats and slept in the car.
The next day, I woke up naturally, had breakfast, and was just about to continue my journey when I encountered a small team coming out of Pingyun Base.
I had just run into that team when I heard an excited voice: "Sister Chi! Sister Zhang! Brother Li! Brother Liu!"
The voice sounded very familiar. Chi Xia turned her head and saw Ran Zhu waving excitedly at her from the group.
Ran Zhu was assigned to Chi Xia's team when she first arrived at the Pingyun Base. She has a very gentle and sweet personality, is very innocent, and is a delicate little girl. She lives with her mother in the southern area of the Pingyun Base.
Although Chi Xia hadn't had much contact with her, she had a fairly good impression of her, so she immediately stopped and greeted her with a smile: "Ran Zhu".
Zhang Xin and the others also stopped and waved to her.
Ran Zhu was very happy and skipped out of the group to Chi Xia and the others. Her face was flushed with excitement at seeing them: "Sister Chi, I really didn't expect to meet you again. I was planning to go play with you guys that day, but I was told that you left that night."
Strictly speaking, Ran Zhu was also one of Chi Xia's people back then, but when Chi Xia and the others left, no one remembered her. Seeing Ran Zhu's happy appearance because of the reunion, Chi Xia couldn't help but feel a little guilty and explained, "I left suddenly back then, so I didn't have time to inform you."
"I know." Ran Zhu obviously didn't care about this. In her opinion, she hadn't made any contributions in Chi Xia's team. On the contrary, she received Chi Xia's protection, which allowed her and her mother to have a happy time. For this reason alone, Chi Xia deserved her respect.
Ran Zhu looked at Zhang Xin with some concern: "Captain Meng and Sister Lan told me about what happened that day. Sister Zhang, are you alright?"
Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, then flipped her big waves and said with a smile, "I'm fine. With Sister Chi here, how could I not be?"
"Yes, Sister Zhang is doing well, little sister, don't worry about her." Liu Daniu looked at her blankly from the side: "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Daniu hadn't forgotten that Ran Zhu in front of him was a delicate person who would cry if someone shouted at her. Now, seeing her like this, it turned out she had joined a team and come out to search for supplies.
Following his gaze, Ran Zhu looked at the people in her team behind her and understood what Liu Daniu meant. She then introduced them, "These are all people from our team. Our ability levels are not high, so we were sent out to find some simple supplies. Pingyun Base doesn't keep idle people anymore."
Zhang Xin looked at her: "What about your mother? Are you sure you want to leave her alone?"
At this point, Ran Zhu's smile vanished instantly. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "My mother is dead."
Dead?
Hearing this, Zhang Xin and the others were stunned. Ran Zhu's mother did not have any superpowers. Ran Zhu had to join their team to take care of her mother. Although they did not have much contact, Ran Zhu's mother was a very gentle mother and had always been in good health. How could she have died in just a few months?
Chi Xia looked at Ran Zhu: "What happened?"
Ran Zhu did not answer; she remained silent.
Looking at her, Zhang Xin said softly, "It's okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
Ran Zhu shook her head and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly, "My mother was killed by Ye Wenxin."
