Liao Yu had a big question mark above his head.
"Ugh, let go of Xiaobao! Xiaobao wants his sister!"
Liao Kongmin punched Liao Yu hard, crying and shouting for his sister.
Ji Xiaoxiao slowly exhaled, her seemingly slow movements actually as fast as lightning, too fast for the naked eye to keep up with.
With the hot, fleshy ball in his arms gone, Liao Yu felt a pang of emptiness.
"Don't cry, don't cry, your sister is right here!"
Ji Xiaoxiao had gone to great lengths to appease Liao Kongmin, leaving her utterly exhausted.
Taking out the large backpack she had prepared beforehand, Ji Xiaoxiao took out food from it and ran silently to the kitchen behind the grocery store to prepare dinner. Liao Kongmin, still shaken, jogged after Ji Xiaoxiao, afraid that she would disappear from his sight at any moment.
One small and one large ignored the living, breathing Liao Yu, leaving Liao Yu slightly disheartened.
An hour later, Ji Xiaoxiao brought out a dish and a soup. Behind her, Liao Kongmin, who never forgot his lesson, happily begged for the soup, his short legs dangling. After bringing out the rice, Ji Xiaoxiao ladled a bowl of soup for Liao Kongmin. Liao Kongmin let out a loud yelp, sat down in the chair, and eagerly sipped the chicken soup.
Liao Yu had been unconscious for a long time, and his stomach was growling with hunger. The delicious food was right in front of him, but he could only look at it from afar and could not eat it. The psychological discomfort and physical needs forced him to swallow his saliva incessantly.
"Um, Miss..."
Ji Xiaoxiao stared intently at Liao Yu, and Liao Yu's plan was nipped in the bud.
Someone saved you, and you still have the nerve to ask them for food and drink.
He couldn't care what others did, but Liao Yu himself still had his pride.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao waited for a while, but Liao Yu remained silent.
"It's nothing." Liao Yu turned his head away, silently repeating to himself, out of sight, out of mind, out of sight, out of mind... But it smells so good!
In the end, Ji Xiaoxiao still gave Liao Yu a bite to eat.
"Thank you." True friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and Liao Yu will always remember Ji Xiaoxiao's kindness in saving him.
The three of them rested in the general store for three whole days before setting off for City A. The highway was full of abandoned cars, so Ji Xiaoxiao and the others had to drive and walk. What used to be a journey of five hours took them seven days and seven nights.
"Xiao Qiong, what are you going to City A for?"
Liao Yu deliberately lowered his voice, afraid of waking up the crybaby on Ji Xiaoxiao's back.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at the person behind her with disdain and said, "What else can we do but find the child's father?"
Liao Yu had an innate fondness for Liao Kongmin, but the thought that he was someone else's child made her heart sink.
Why isn't your family together?
One is in the east, the other in the west, they are worlds apart.
Ji Xiaoxiao sneered, "If that deadbeat won't take responsibility, I'll go to his door myself."
Seeing that this was a domestic dispute that looked like a melodramatic soap opera, he, as an outsider, shouldn't get involved. Liao Yu shut his mouth and absentmindedly observed his surroundings.
The closer they got to City A, the more numerous and clearly visible the pedestrians became. Ji Xiaoxiao didn't intend to have any interaction with those people and tried to avoid contact with them as much as possible. However, Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't a radar; she couldn't completely avoid unnecessary encounters.
"Please wait a moment, everyone in front."
Ji Xiaoxiao and the others seemed not to have heard, and quickly walked away.
"Hey, wait a minute, we need help."
Perhaps driven by the pressure of survival, the people behind her caught up with Ji Xiaoxiao.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
It was a man dressed in black. He had some small wounds on his face, his hair was neatly combed, and although his clothes were tidy, they gave off a disheveled and travel-worn look.
Once the man caught his breath, he looked up and his eyes shone brightly.
"Young Master Liao, it's you! That's wonderful!" the man in black said, beaming.
Liao Yu frowned, his clear eyes flashing with a chilling light.
"Who are you?"
“Young Master Liao, you are a very important person, so it is only natural that you do not recognize me. I am Miss Shen Lu’s bodyguard, and I had the honor of meeting you once at the Liao family mansion.”
Liao Yu gave a faint "oh".
Seeing the awkward silence, the man in black gave an embarrassed laugh and said, "Young Master Liao, something terrible has happened! Our young lady is in danger. Could you come and help?"
Everyone in City A knows that the person the eldest son of the Liao family hates the most is Shen Lu, the third daughter of the Shen family.
Liao Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Where is it? Take me there."
Huh, has Young Master Liao Yu had a change of heart?
Despite his astonishment, the man in black still rushed Liao Yu to the crime scene.
Ji Xiaoxiao had no interest in saving people from dire straits, but since the big spender had changed direction, she, a parasite who was planning to rely on the big spender for free meals and drinks, finally decided to go her own way.
The group arrived in a hurry and saw a huge white tiger pouncing and tearing at them.
What's going on?
Liao Yu stopped in his tracks, not blindly charging forward with reckless abandon.
The man in black swallowed hard and briefly described Shen Lu's reckless behavior.
It turns out that thirty days after the "death by blood" occurs, terrifying beasts will emerge from the forests and markets near City A, including giant pythons hundreds of meters long, eagles that blot out the sky, and rabbits and large fish that breathe ice or fire.
The researchers in City A were highly capable, and a few days later they released some data, which referred to the monsters as alien beasts, all of which evolved from animals from the past.
Some people, perceptive as ever, realized the world was changing drastically, and if you didn't adapt, you'd be doomed! Bold and meticulous, they successfully subdued the strange beast. Shen Lu, seeing an opportunity, was overjoyed and begged her family to catch one too. Thus, this whole affair unfolded.
