Chapter 554 Even the Zombie King Has a Weakness 31
The autumn wind brought a touch of chill, mercilessly blowing down a large number of leaves, making the apocalyptic scene even more desolate in this bleak season.
The base recently built a children's park. Although it is not large, it is decorated in a warm and childlike style, which represents the care and love that the adults at the base have for the children.
"Zhaozhao, Xiaoxun, are you still playing at night?"
A passing girl looked at the two children playing in the sand and smiled kindly: "It's time to go home for dinner."
The base had become their second home. Zhao Zhao buried herself in digging sand, while Li Xunwei focused on building sandcastles. The two fair-skinned children had sand all over their faces and bodies.
Zhao Zhao wiped his face, leaving a bunch of rough sand on it. He smiled, his eyes crinkling, like a little kitten.
"Sister, we'll be going back soon."
Li Xunwei nodded in agreement, but when his gaze fell upon the woman who had arrived behind the girl, his expression stiffened slightly. He turned to Zhao Zhao and said, "My mother has come to find me. I'll be leaving now."
"See you tomorrow."
Zhao Zhao waved her hand and watched Li Xunwei and her son leave. Then the girl who had just passed by also left.
The number of children at the base is increasing, but almost all of them have their own relatives or caregivers. The usually bustling little park is now empty except for Zhao Zhao, who is the only child there.
His situation was special, so he was taken care of by Xu Qianbai and Jiang Yan, two humans who had a lot of influence in the base and were also much busier than others, so they didn't have much time to look after him.
Zhao Zhao was already used to this situation. He filled the empty pit with the sand he had dug out, clapped his hands, stood up, and skipped and hopped towards the laboratory.
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of a basketball being dribbled suddenly came from the path not far away. Zhao Zhao was attracted and looked up. She saw a tall boy standing under the street lamp. The dim light illuminated his indifferent expression.
Zhao Zhao froze, shocked. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, the boy not far away had disappeared, and the basketball was rolling at his feet.
“Brother…” He squatted down to pick up the ball, wiping his eyes sadly. He knew that the person had appeared, but he did not chase after him. He picked up the basketball and slowly continued walking towards the laboratory.
He hadn't walked far when he saw Xu Qianbai rushing out the door.
The young man in white at the end of the path hurried towards him, a gentle, apologetic smile on his face.
"Zhaozhao, I'm sorry I didn't get to pick you up in time." Xu Qianbai held the child's dirty little hand, her eyes softening. "How many times have I told you, remember to wash your hands after playing in the sand."
Zhao Zhao smiled and nodded obediently, "I understand."
Xu Qianbai smiled, her gaze shifting downwards to the basketball he was holding, and casually asked, "Was this a gift from another child?"
"..."
Zhao Zhao kept her head down and remained silent for a long time.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
So Zhao Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, it was a gift from the other friends."
Nowadays, his brother's name can't even be mentioned in a place like the base.
Xu Qianbai ruffled Zhao Zhao's hair, then touched a head full of sand: "Zhao Zhao, look at yourself all over..."
Anxious to get Zhao Zhao back to his place, he hurriedly prepared to give the dirty little kitten a bath. He was adjusting the water temperature when he called Zhao Zhao into the bathroom and saw the child at the door still holding the basketball, looking aggrieved.
Xu Qianbai chuckled softly and said helplessly, "I'll play basketball later."
He thoughtfully put a little duck in Zhao Zhao's bathtub before putting her in the water.
However, the children were a little too quiet tonight.
He asked him, and Zhao Zhao simply replied, "I'm tired of playing."
After giving Zhao Zhao a bath, Xu Qianbai returned to the lab. Zhao Zhao used the signal device to call Jiang Yan and ask about the situation outside the base.
"Detectives have discovered that many zombies are upgrading. There are an average of two medium-level zombies per city, while the number of high-level zombies exceeds ten."
"As for your brother, the detection organization hasn't seen him for a long time."
Zhao Zhao blinked slowly. According to the plot, at this point in time, the great battle between humans and zombies had already begun.
"However, there is some good news: the zombies outside are not rioting, and they are not too aggressive when they see humans."
Jiang Yan explained the information to Zhao Zhao in a simplified way, without being perfunctory just because he was a child.
All that could be heard from the signal device was a child's soft voice.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I'm going out to find supplies again tomorrow. Be good at the base."
"it is good."
