CHAPTER 526: 430 DID BROTHER JUST SMILE?

Captain Zhao looked at the dozen or so teammates in front of him and said with heartfelt earnestness,

"Brothers, the opportunity for rapid advancement is right before you."

"It’s up to you to seize it."

"I plan to accompany this couple wherever they go, I’ll follow them."

"Until they are willing to take me with them to the pinnacle of life."

"But this journey will definitely be fraught with danger, so if any of you have other thoughts, I won’t stand in your way."

"Alternatively, you can go to my Oasis. My Oasis is right underneath the city walls of Xiang City, the largest one."

"Once you get there and report my name, the people there will offer you a place of refuge."

Now, Captain Zhao’s team was down to just over a dozen people, half of whom were former bodyguards of the Qu Family.

The other half were those Captain Zhao had brought out from the Oasis.

They looked at each other, and to Captain Zhao’s surprise, those he had brought from the Oasis began to hesitate,

"Captain, we’d rather not accompany you on such a far and risky adventure. We’ll head back to the Oasis."

"Yes, my wife and children are still in the Oasis waiting for me to bring back supplies."

However, the bodyguards who had merged from the Qu Family expressed their resolve to Captain Zhao,

"We’ll go with you; opportunities like these to really make it big don’t come around often."

"After all, we all escaped from the jaws of death in E City. We have nobody waiting for our return."

"Who knows, after latching onto a great opportunity like this, we might become some of the most influential people in this apocalypse."

A man without the ties of family is no different from a gambler.

Captain Zhao nodded, shouldered his supply backpack, and followed Hua Mi’s RV with the bodyguards from the Qu Family.

Sitting inside the RV was Gong Yi, holding his sister.

He was teasing his sister to make her laugh while saying to Hua Mi beside him,

"The Zhao surname guys have caught up."

Hua Mi casually lifted her eyelid,

"Let them be. It’s their own legs that carry them. If they’re bent on jumping into danger, who can stop them?"

Captain Zhao and his men were willing to risk their lives for riches; birds die for food. That was their fate.

Lin Zhigang, driving the RV, pursed his lips and had no desire to talk.

His only thought was to reach F City as quickly as possible to rescue his father.

The RV moved forward and soon left the area where the Zombie Tide and Mutant Beast Tide intersected.

Heading in the direction of F City, it was clear that the zombies were becoming sparser, and the fast-moving Mutant Beasts were gradually becoming more numerous.

Hua Mi, holding her brother, opened the privacy curtain next to her in the RV.

Looking through the window at the Mutant Beasts continuously charging at the RV, she pointed at the humanoid monsters outside and said to her brother,

"These monsters aren’t human, they’re very dangerous."

"We have to eliminate these kinds of monsters."

Her brother, with round, bulging eyes and blowing bubbles from his small mouth, looked very serious as he watched intently outside, although no one knew if he really understood.

The little guy was practically a mini-version of Gong Yi.

Hua Mi couldn’t help but chuckle. She handed her brother over to Gong Yi,

"Let me hold sister for a moment; you hold brother first."

Gong Yi gestured towards the small bed beside them, unwilling to let go of his sister,

"You put brother on the crib and let him crawl himself."

"A grown person like this still being carried around, don’t be so indulgent with the child."

Having said that, he cooed with sister in his arms,

"Oh, oh, oh, I’m not talking about you, not about my little princess, no, no~~"

This father really took favoritism to the extreme!!!

Hua Mi glanced at Gong Yi, then put brother on the crib on his stomach and went about her own business.

She didn’t compete with Gong Yi for sister either, seeing how sickeningly sweet Gong Yi was with her, it was obvious he still hadn’t had enough of holding sister.

No one noticed that the brother, who was waving his arms and kicking on the bed, suddenly flipped over.

He slapped at the privacy curtain on the side of the crib and somehow, pulled the curtain down.

A particularly ferocious Mutant Beast face appeared outside the window, baring its vicious fangs at the brother inside.

Brother stared with his big, glossy black eyes, hitting the window with his chubby little hands, making "ah-woo ah-woo" sounds, as if trying to say something.

Soon, the Mutant Beast’s head outside the window was twisted by some force, turning its head completely around to face the other way, now with the back of its head toward the brother inside.

The Mutant Beast’s neck had been twisted through the air.

The brother, who had always been known as the impassive baby, unable to resist laughing at the amusing ’toy’, let out giggles.

Hua Mi, who was preparing to make an apple pie in the small kitchen, turned around in surprise to look at brother on the crib.

She asked Gong Yi,

"Did brother just laugh?"

It seemed that since brother was born, Hua Mi had never seen him laugh.

Gong Yi, holding sister, was also quite surprised. He walked over, glanced at brother lying on the bed, who then showed a beautiful little face, with round shiny eyes like black grapes, staring outside the window at the Mutant Beast.

What’s there to look at?

Gong Yi placed sister beside brother.

He patted the buttocks of the two little ones and then stood by their side, letting the two of them play.

Meanwhile, he concentrated his spiritual power, clearing the surrounding area of the house from the swarming Mutant Beasts.

The three of them worked together; while Hua Mi cooked, Lin Zhigang only needed to drive, bringing everyone towards F City.

Occasionally, during their breaks, they would park the RV in an open area, where Gong Yi had already cleared a very safe zone around them.

Stepping out of the RV with a long knife, Hua Mi glanced behind it.

She didn’t know whether Captain Zhao and his group had died in the Mutated Beast Tide.

Anyway, there were no longer any sign of Captain Zhao and his group behind their house.

After Hua Mi had boldly gone out and killed a bunch of Mutant Beasts, she returned to the RV, where Lin Zhigang received another call from Chen Hu.

He informed Chen Hu of their position.

They had deliberately misreported their progress through the Zombie Tide to Chen Hu before.

So Chen Hu had been lead to believe that Lin Zhigang had not yet made it through the Zombie Tide.

But, in fact, once they passed through this wave of Mutant Beasts, they would soon reach F City.

Chen Hu sneered on the other end of the call,

"Earlier you were here pretending to me, saying you were trapped in the Zombie and Mutated Beast Tides, that you couldn’t survive with a child."

"Look, people need to be pushed, and haven’t you survived?"

"Don’t worry, your father still has a breath in him, enough to last until you bring the child to me in F City."

"Be quick, or your father might not last much longer."
