Chapter 126 Let's say goodbye properly.
"Okay, thank you..."
The old woman wiped away her tears. It was fate. If she hadn't been so desperate and chosen to go outside the city to wait for death, she might be buried with her family in the dark underground city now.
But now she's all alone. What's the point of living alone?
"Grandma, I heard that there are still many people alive in the underground city. You must persevere and live on. You must also want to go back and see your family again. Besides, I still need to go to you to get our clothes."
"Hey, hey..."
When the old woman heard that there were still living people in the underground city, her cloudy and dim eyes brightened a little. Good, since fate had not killed her, she would try her best to live a little longer.
Yu Miaomiao sensed the old woman's weak will to live, so she chose to offer her a few words of comfort. Whether her son, daughter-in-law, and the little child survived or not was all up to fate.
I only hope that good luck will always be with her. And I also hope that good luck will be with every one of my readers.
Back in the RV, Yu Miaomiao felt that the day had been too difficult. She hadn't felt this tired in a long time since her rebirth.
If she could, she'd rather lie flat forever, hiding in that space forever, never coming out, no matter what the world outside is like...
She only needs to bring Lu An... no, she also needs to bring Xu Nanwei... Ji Mu and his brother... Yao Yao's family... He Liang... too many people.
She discovered that after the apocalypse of this life, she had so many more people connected to her.
In a daze, she fell asleep again, feeling someone gently cover her with a blanket.
She knew it was Lu An because Lu An always smelled of soap, and she could only feel so relaxed when she was with Lu An.
I slept soundly through the night, and the morning sunlight was already quite dazzling; the days are getting longer and longer these days.
Yu Miaomiao squinted as she got out of bed, staring blankly at the sun outside the car window.
She felt that the midnight sun was approaching, and it seemed like one problem after another was brewing.
Strange beasts, weapons factories, extreme heat, polar days—in just over a month, natural disasters and man-made calamities piled up, leaving the people destitute.
"Knock knock knock..." I was watching the sunrise with a water glass in my hand when I was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Chu Bai? What brings you here again? Lu An isn't up yet, so please speak a little more softly."
Yu Miaomiao glanced at Lu An, who was sleeping soundly with Xiao Nan in his arms in the car, got out of the car and closed the door. "Let's talk outside."
"Well, Miss Yu, we're about to set off. I have a favor to ask."
"Since you know it's an unreasonable request, could you please not say it?"
Yu Miaomiao was in a bad mood after yesterday's events. She felt that she should interact with fewer people and avoid getting involved in these things so as not to be resented or do thankless tasks.
"Put it on my own selfish reasons, and considering my blood relation with Lu An, I would like to ask you to pass on a letter for me. There is no time limit, of course. If you have the opportunity to go to the inland areas, please pass it on for me. If you don't go, then forget it. Just keep it safe for me. Thank you."
"This is a letter, and this is my reward! Thank you!"
Chu Bai stuffed the envelope and a bag of biscuits into Yu Miaomiao's hand, and without waiting for her consent, waved and ran off.
Not far away, the army had already assembled. Yesterday's cataclysmic events had left many positions vacant in the once-completed army.
At Chu Bai's command, the people who had filled the empty positions quickly filled in, and the team became neat and compact.
Everyone stood tall and charged towards the horde of monsters.
Yu Miaomiao couldn't bear to watch this scene, so she turned around and went back to the car.
After much hesitation, she finally woke Lu An from his sweet dream.
"An'an, your brother and the others are leaving. Do you want to see them off?"
"I'm not going. What would be the point of going? Miaomiao, we each have our own life trajectory. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."
Lu An touched his forehead with his hand and turned his head away so that Yu Miaomiao wouldn't see his eyes.
Whenever Lu An was unhappy, she would cover the upper half of her face with her hand to prevent others from seeing her expression, like a little ostrich burying its head in the sand, so it wouldn't be afraid.
"You're such a silly An'an! You talk so nonchalantly, but you're actually heartbroken inside. Lu An, do you think you're a real man just because you cut your hair short? You're clearly so happy to have found your family, and it wasn't easy for you to reunite with them, so why do you always talk so nonchalantly? We won't be short of time. Let's go say goodbye properly, so that no matter how long it takes before we meet again, we won't have any regrets."
Regardless of Lu An's wishes, Yu Miaomiao still pulled Lu An along and caught up with Chu Bai and Chen Haohua, who were at the very end of the group.
"Captain Chen, come here, I have some good food here, come with me."
Yu Miaomiao winked at Chen Haohua, who understood and gave Chu Bai and Lu An some time alone.
"Cherish what you have now." Yu Miaomiao knew that Lu An had suffered a lot when he was young, had few relatives, and didn't know how to get along with them, so she hoped that Lu An could truly appreciate the real family members in front of him.
"What delicious food is it, Sister Miao? You're such a treasure trove! I should have known better than to join the army. I should have just gone into live streaming and lived a life of luxury with you, Sister Miao."
Yu Miaomiao was about to speak when she was choked.
"Pfft...you...how did you know I'm a streamer?"
They haven't told anyone about this. They always wear half-face masks during their live streams and never show their true faces. Of course, this is also to maintain a sense of mystery, which makes them more attractive.
"No, Brother Chu didn't tell you that we did a background check on you two."
"Wait, wait, wait, a background check? No, you're investigating us for no reason? What did we do wrong?"
"No, no, but I can't say why. I can only say that you two have passed the test and are both good comrades."
They only investigated her and Lu An, not Xu Nanwei. It seems that Yang Silu was behind it.
There's not much to investigate with children, just their birthplace and parents' circumstances. But investigating these two women reveals a lot more secrets.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
She couldn't quite see Yang Silu clearly yet; when he was with them, it felt as if a pair of hands were covering his true face.
Although he didn't conceal his appearance, he was always on guard, wary of his secretary, Chu Bai and the others, and also wary of them.
She had no idea what the truth was behind this false facade.
But no matter what it is, if she finds anything unfavorable, she will immediately take action and kill that person, even if that person is the leader of the entire dungeon.
