"I believe it. Why not?"

Qin Ke smiled and said, "It's up to you whether you are afraid or not. If you are, hide in my arms and I will protect you."

Han Qingxia: "......"

She raised her hand and punched him.

"Hiss - forget it, Captain Beauty, you don't need anyone to protect you. Even ghosts would be scared of you."

Just then, they heard the sound of crutches.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Han Qingxia grabbed Qin Ke tightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

It was that long corridor.

Under the dim light, an old woman with a cane slowly walked out of the darkness.

She was wearing a flowered jacket and had a hunched back, like a turtle with a huge shell on its back. She walked very slowly and had to stop to rest every two steps.

It was very strange for such a person to appear suddenly in such an environment.

She walked over slowly step by step.

Until it entered the range of Han Qingxia's psychic ability.

Her psychic ability told her that it was a person.

Not a zombie.

She looked at Qin Ke, who frowned and nodded at her, "It's not a zombie."

At this time, the old lady came over.

Stop five meters away from them.

She raised her head with great effort, revealing her wrinkled old face. Her drooping eyelids covered her eyes, leaving only a slit.

All her teeth had fallen out, her gums had shrunk, and her mouth had shrunk into the shape of a chrysanthemum.

It sticks tightly to my gums.

She stared at them, opened her mouth, and asked with trembling lips, "Have you seen my son?"

Han Qingxia's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Qin Ke couldn't help but grab her wrist and whispered in her ear, "What that boy said is true, he is really making trouble here!"

Han Qingxia: "......"

Just as Qin Ke finished speaking, the old woman suddenly froze and stared at Qin Ke, "Xiao Qiang!"

Han Qingxia: “???”

She looked at Qin Ke, swinging her crutches and running towards him.

The speed was so fast that she rushed in front of him and Han Qingxia in the blink of an eye, and she pushed Han Qingxia away with one hand.

At this time, Qin Ke reacted even faster. He pulled Han Qingxia into his arms and shook off her hand, "What are you doing!"

The old woman staggered a step, her shining eyes still staring at Qin Ke, "Xiao Qiang, I'm your mother."

"I'm your mother, don't you remember?"

"Who are you, and how could you give birth to such a handsome son like me?"

The old woman stretched out her hand and tried to grab him. "Xiao Qiang, you must still be angry with your mother. You didn't want to work in the mine, but your mother forced you to go. Your mother was wrong. Please forgive your mother."

"Are you crazy?" Qin Ke was too lazy to pay attention to her, and at this time Han Qingxia pinched him.

"You don't even recognize your mother, you want to die!"

Qin Ke: “…”

"Xiao Qiang..."

"Okay, okay, I'm your son Xiaoqiang, Mom, I'm back."

When the old woman heard this, she was so excited that she trembled all over. She took Qin Ke's hand and said, "Xiao Qiang, you are finally back. Come home with mom!"

She was extremely strong, and her grip on Qin Ke's hand was as strong as an iron clamp.

It was as if she was afraid that her son, who had finally returned, would leave.

Qin Ke looked at Han Qingxia and said, "Follow him and ask him clearly."

Qin Ke understood immediately.

At this time, the old woman turned around and looked at Han Qingxia with a pair of suspicious eyes, "Xiao Qiang, who is she?"

Qin Ke grabbed Han Qingxia's wrist and said without hesitation, "Your daughter-in-law."

Han Qingxia: "......"

The old woman became even more excited after hearing this. She excitedly pulled Qin Ke to the front house and said as they walked, "Mom has money for you. Mom has saved a lot of money. I will sell the house to your neighbor Uncle Zhang later. I will definitely give you some money for the down payment so that you can buy a new house in the city."

Han Qingxia and others: "......"

In just a few steps, the old woman walked into a locked room. With trembling hands, she took out the key and opened the door.

After the door opened, what appeared before them was a very clean and tidy old house.

The old house was polished to a shine everywhere, forming a sharp contrast with the dusty and messy corridor outside.

"Come in, I'll get you something to eat."

Han Qingxia kicked Qin Ke.

Qin Ke said cleanly at this time, "Mom, did you see the others?"

"Others..." The old woman stopped walking and stopped talking. She forcefully pulled them into the room.

Qin Ke was very alert at this time, "Mom, if you don't tell me, I won't go in."

The old woman turned to look at him and said forcefully, "You can only go out and play after you finish your meal!"

Qin Ke: "...I'm too old to play around."

"In my eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still a child! Eat first!"

The old woman's face was extremely serious. She grabbed him tightly with her dry hands like a big iron clamp and dragged him into the house.

After entering the house, she walked towards the kitchen.

Qin Ke looked at Han Qingxia behind him and said, "Captain Beauty, what do you say now?"

Han Qingxia stared at the old woman, thinking quickly in her mind.

First of all, she was the first person she met here.

There is something weird about him.

The disappearance of Xu Shaoyang and the others was most likely related to her.

She must have special abilities, and it is very likely that she has special mutant abilities like Liu Yue.

"Just follow her lead and ask her more questions to find out where Shao Yang and the others are."

"Yeah." Qin Ke nodded.

At this time, the old woman came over with two large cans of yellow peaches.

"Here's your favorite canned food. Eat it now."

Han Qingxia noticed at a glance that the canned yellow peaches were moldy.

The bright yellow peaches in the jar looked like they had been burned by a cigarette butt, and were covered with blue-gray mycelium.

"Mom, I'm not hungry yet." Qin Ke said with a smile.

"You have to eat it even if you are not hungry! It's your favorite and your mom saved it for you." The old woman clumsily opened the lid for him and took out a shiny and clean spoon from her pocket.

After inserting the spoon into the can, she stared at him, as if today's matter would not be resolved if he didn't eat it.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, closed his eyes and ate a piece.

Forget it, who called him a half-zombie? He can’t die no matter what he eats.

eat!

Seeing him eat it, the old woman's face suddenly lit up with a smile, and the cold aura just now dissipated immediately. She looked at Han Qingxia next to her and reached out her hand to open the can for her.

"You eat too."

At this time, Qin Ke took hers and said, "Mom, she doesn't like it. Give it all to me."

Han Qingxia chuckled, and the old woman also smiled when she saw this.

She smiled and looked at Han Qingxia, "Come in with me."
