Chapter 119 I Can Protect You
Now, all he needs to do is find a reason to get Ji Mu to leave with Yu Miaomiao and the others. As long as Xiao Mu isn't around, he won't have any worries.
"Ji Feng, you don't think that as long as Ji Mu isn't by your side, you won't have any weaknesses, and Ji Mu will be relatively safe, do you?"
Yu Miaomiao suddenly understood Ji Feng's thoughts. He must have received some information that was unfavorable to Ji Mu, which is why he was so eager to send Ji Mu away or hide him to prevent anyone from using Ji Mu as a threat or bargaining chip.
He Qing and He Chuan were definitely involved. Now that they know about the mole, even if Ji Feng can't eliminate them on his own, he can seek outside help, such as her and Lu An...
What Ji Feng seemed to fear was not the He siblings, but the person behind the purchase of the weapons.
"So what you're truly afraid of is Ni Chongyang?"
"Yes, Ni's Capital appears to have started in film and television media, but behind the scenes… they are devils." Ji Feng smiled bitterly. The reason he didn't cooperate with Ni's before the apocalypse was because he discovered that these people were utterly wicked, committing arson, murder, robbery, and organ trafficking… Of the other three major capital companies, only He's could rival them, and they also started in film and television. As competing companies, Ji Feng thought these two would be rivals.
It wasn't until after the apocalypse that he learned that He Qing's mother and Ni Chongyang were... first loves. Ni Chongyang was a madman, a madman who killed without hesitation. He believed that He Qing's mother's death was inextricably linked to Ji Feng. Therefore, this matter was probably not as simple as gaining control of the weapons factory, but rather taking his life.
"Yay, I finally won, brother, look, I finally won this time."
Ji Mu opened the game's battle record interface and said to Ji Feng sitting opposite him, "I know what my older brothers and sisters are troubled about, but I don't want to see them troubled like this."
Ji Feng pushed the wheelchair closer to Ji Mu, then gently stroked Ji Mu's soft hair with his palm, smiling tenderly as he said, "Our little Mu has grown up and is getting stronger and stronger. From now on, you must be as strong as in the game and protect yourself well, okay?"
"Mmm," Ji Mu nodded happily, then raised his chin with a proud look.
"From now on, I will protect you. I mean, I can protect my brother. Brother, I told you I have special abilities. As long as I practice hard and keep leveling up, I will definitely be able to protect you from any harm. When I grow up a bit and get taller, I can also become your legs. I can carry you to any place you want to go. So, I don't want to leave you."
Yes, Ji Feng did not awaken any superpowers. Not only did he not awaken them, but he also suffered nerve damage and lost control of his legs. In this apocalyptic disaster, if he hadn't done his homework in advance and been planning ahead, an ordinary person like him would have died in the disaster long ago and would not have been able to survive to this day.
"No, you have to leave, and you have to leave today. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. I'll come and get you once I've sorted things out here."
Ji Mu protested loudly, "No, I don't want to leave first! Brother, why don't you believe me? I can really protect you now." Even though his illusion magic wasn't offensive, it could still hold off the enemy for a while, which was good enough.
He then threw down the game controller, leaped, and threw himself into Ji Feng's arms, tears welling up in his eyes. "Brother, I finally found you, and I'm not going to be separated from you again this time. Why do you always push me away? Is it because we don't have the same parents?"
He remembered. Fragments of memories suddenly flashed through his mind. He was there on the day the building collapsed. He had a big fight with his brother, and then his brother rushed over and pushed him away. He was pushed away but still fell and hit his head on a rock, losing consciousness. When he woke up, he was already in Ni's convoy. He and his brother were separated, but he couldn't remember where he was or what he was doing before they were separated. Fortunately, Raymond was always by his side, which gave him some comfort.
Uncle Zhang in the convoy was very kind to him. He stitched up the wound on his head, tore off his clothes, scalded them with boiling water and dried them, bandaged him up, and even helped take care of Raymond.
"Kid, don't let your Uncle Zhang's current situation fool you. Uncle Zhang used to be a veterinarian, performing surgeries on cats and dogs. With one cut, those kittens and puppies would be saved from the brink of death and would bounce around by their owners for another ten years."
"Really? Then I won't have a scar, will I..." Ji Mu felt a lot of pain in the wound. Uncle Zhang's stitching technique seemed very rusty. Had he not had surgery in a long time? Ji Mu felt that he was bound to have a scar, but his hair could cover it up. Besides, it was okay for a boy to have a little injury. His brother said that it was all proof of courage, and he wouldn't cry.
"Haha... No, no, don't worry, I'm fine..." Zhang Yuan's hand trembled as he changed Ji Mu's bandage, but he quickly continued to bandage Ji Mu.
He followed the convoy all the way into the underground city. The convoy leader didn't care about their lives or pay for their entrance tickets. So he, Uncle Zhang, and many other people went to work in the underground city, digging soil and moving stones every day. He had many blisters and wounds on his hands and feet that kept breaking and healing. They were very itchy and painful, but he endured them all.
Finally, he met Sister Miaomiao, and he thought he would live like this forever, relying on each other with Yu Miaomiao, Lu An, and Xu Nanwei. But then he found his brother...
Fate seemed to have played a joke on him, but it didn't make his luck too bad either.
He looked at Ji Feng with teary eyes. During these days in the apocalypse, he had struggled through hardship and death, and had grown a lot. He was no longer prone to crying, but after returning to his brother's side, he became the crybaby he used to be.
His pitiful expression broke Ji Feng's heart.
"Little Mu, you didn't do anything wrong, and your brother isn't going to abandon you. Here's what's going on: your brother has some things he needs to take care of, so he might have to leave you for a while. That's why I'm entrusting you to your sister Miaomiao and sister An'an. Also, little sister Xu Nanwei can play with you. Don't you like playing with her too?"
"Brother, stop trying to fool me. I'm not a child anymore. I can tell you're going to your death."
Ji Feng's eyes flickered. He really didn't know what this child had gone through since leaving him, making him so outspoken.
