Su Mo stroked her head, "You can go, but you have to tell Lu Jin that I will agree only if he promises to protect you with his life."
Lu Ruixue felt that this promise was a bit too much, so she lowered her head and said softly, "Actually, I would do the sa."
Su Mo looked at her for a long mont, then lowered her eyes in concession, "Alright, if this is what you insist on, then I will agree."
Lu Ruixue hugged Su Mo tightly, "Whether it’s Dad or Mom, they are also people I would lay down my life to protect."
Su Mo patted her shoulder.
This was the first ti Lu Ruixue had ever left Hope Base since she had grown this large.
Lu Jin took many food items and Lu Ruixue’s clothes from Su Mo, and all her luggage was stored in his Space.
Lu Jin and Su Mo had their final conversation before the trip.
"I am very grateful," he said solemnly.
Su Mo’s face was serious, "She insists on going with you, sothing I cannot stop, but Lu Jin, even if it costs you your life, you must keep her safe."
When Lu Ruixue was ntioned, a slight smile appeared on Lu Jin’s face, his dark eyes gentle, "Although she might be stronger than now, I understand what you’re saying."
Lu Ruixue’s abilities were a complete inheritance of Su Mo’s virus genes, even more bizarre, but she had yet to fully learn to use these powers. Su Mo agreed to let her go on the hopes that it would train her abilities. Besides, zombies were now scarce outside, and the danger level had plumted, which gave her a bit more peace of mind.
After Lu Chen finished his affairs, he rushed to the base’s gate. Su Mo took his hand, watching as Lu Ruixue got into the passenger seat of Lu Jin’s vehicle, waving goodbye to them.
Jianxiong and Li Qian were there to see them off, even Jiang Yulian ca with Jiang Zhuoyang. It was just a mission, but everyone acted as if this were a farewell of life and death.
But Su Mo thought about it and felt that it made sense; after all, strictly speaking, they had watched this child grow up, and they were all like parents to her.
"Say a brief goodbye to your daughter," Su Mo also waved to her.
Lu Chen raised his hand, and not until the convoy was out of sight did he say indifferently, "Let’s go ho."
A line of people, walking toward the sunshine, headed back inside the base.
The beautiful life would continue on...
Having never been out before, Lu Ruixue displayed a hundred percent curiosity towards everything outside.
The vehicle drove through a wasteland covered in debris and fragnts of buildings, brought by the floods, with tall structures being a rare sight in this vast area.
"Jinjin, how far are we from the place where we need to rescue people?"
Lu Jin, driving, glanced at her and patiently replied, "Three days."
Lu Ruixue leaned on the edge of the bed for a while before she pulled back her gaze, sowhat bored. A gloved hand extended towards her, offering a packet of chips.
"From your mother."
Lu Ruixue took it with a smile, "Ah, this is kind of like a honeymoon after eting the parents, isn’t it?"
Lu Jin’s usually expressionless face suddenly tightened along his jawline, and he said firmly, "Lu Ruixue, you are still underage."
Although her full na was called out, Lu Ruixue showed not a hint of unhappiness. She tore open the chip packet and put one in her mouth, her mouth corners turned up high, "I know, Jinjin will wait for to grow up, right?"
The spoiled since childhood Lu Ruixue turned her face aside, her face brimming with a smile, "I’m not wrong, am I?"
Lu Jin felt a softness in his heart, and he said softly, "You won’t despise for being old?"
Lu Ruixue had already thought about this aspect, "No, a man is a bachelor at thirty, you could say I got the better deal."
"You were with as I grew up, I’ll give you the rest of my life."
Lu Jin gripped the steering wheel tighter, his heart trembled fiercely because of her words.
He didn’t speak, but the emotions in his eyes betrayed that he wasn’t as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Having lived with Lu Jin for so long, Lu Ruixue knew that no one understood him better than she did.
She took a chip from the bag and held it up to Lu Jin’s mouth, "Eat."
After pondering for a mont, Lu Jin finally opened his mouth and ate the chip.
The sweet and spicy taste of tomato filled his taste buds, his lips curved slightly, revealing his good mood for the day.
They spent the night camping in a field of ruins, with only a few walls standing erect, they parked the car within these broken walls. Lu Ruixue hopped out of the car, rubbing her sore bottom and stretching lazily.
"Finally, we can rest." She exhaled deeply.
So soldiers following Lu Jin gathered so stones and built a makeshift stove, lighting a fire.
The weather was still a bit cold, so Lu Jin draped a jacket over Lu Ruixue and laid out two sleeping bags on the ground before letting her sit down.
The dinner was noodles made by the soldiers. They were not short of rice, flour, seasonings, or vegetables now; Lu Jin had brought a lot with him, enough to last for quite so ti.
After eating, Lu Ruixue looked up at the sky, densely dotted with stars, very beautiful.
"The sky looks exceptionally beautiful from here."
Lu Jin lay down in the sleeping bag next to her, his dark eyes staring intently at her profile, and whispered softly, "Sleep."
Lu Ruixue laid down beside him, gazing at that handso face that ti hadn’t marked. She reached out to touch Lu Jin’s slender eyes, "Jinjin, you really don’t age, do you?"
"Have you been taking good care of yourself for my sake?"
Lu Jin lowered his gaze and used his teeth to pull off his glove, offering his clear and well-defined hand in front of Lu Ruixue, "Can we sleep now?"
As an avid hand enthusiast, Lu Ruixue couldn’t resist such a tempting scene; she instinctively hugged that hand to her chest, feeling content, "Mhm, we can now. Good night, Jinjin."
The two were very close, his hand pressing against Lu Ruixue’s chest. Lu Jin’s gaze deepened as he watched the girl with closed eyes for a while before slowly closing his own.
Nightti brought the sound of howling wind at their ears; Lu Ruixue slept soundly, as long as the familiar presence beside her stayed on.
Naturally, among the people Lu Jin brought, there were Spiritual Superpower Users on night watch. As soon as they detected a few zombies approaching, one of them imdiately stood up, "Ten zombies are coming from the south."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin abruptly opened his eyes.
His hand was still in Lu Ruixue’s grasp. She opened her sleepy eyes and lethargically let go of him and got up, "Can you handle them?"
Ten zombies were not much, but for safety’s sake, everyone still stood up.
In the darkness of the night, illuminated by the moonlight, could be seen several zombies covered with thick tumors rushing over.
So disgusting, Lu Ruixue had rarely seen such a sight.
She frowned, stood up from the sleeping bag, and the tumor on the running zombie in the forefront burst open, spilling onto the ground and raising a scorching spray.
