Chapter 92: The Brother And Sister Who Had Returned
The man muttered a few words and was about to jump off the rock when he saw four green vines rising from the ground behind the zombie tide and crashing into the pile of zombies with lightning speed.
The vines scattered and wandered. The sharp leaves were like sharp blades, cutting through the zombies like melons and vegetables.
Shen Yang, "..."
In just a few minutes, the zombies that were attracted by the fresh flesh and blood and moved towards the base were chopped into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Some people couldn't help but vomit at this scene.
Hearing the sound of vomiting coming and going behind him, Shen Yang stiffly twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered, "I haven't seen that fellow for a while, and he has gotten more violent."
After all the zombies fell, the green vines suddenly retracted and turned into four seeds, which fell on their owner's pale, veinless palm.
The little girl, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, clenched the seeds and looked up at the young man beside her.
"Good job." The young man smiled gently, touched her head, and praised her softly, "Youyou is getting more powerful."
After receiving the praise, the little girl moved the muscles on both sides of her cheeks, forming a subtle arc, showing that she was happy.
"But," the young man changed the subject, "I've said it many times. When dealing with zombies, just chop off their heads directly. There's no need to cut them into pieces. It's too unsightly."
The little girl blinked, looked down at the seeds in her hand, and looked up at him.
Did she not understand what he meant? The young man sighed helplessly. The smile in his eyes became softer, and he took the little girl's hand.
"It's okay, Youyou did a great job. I'll make you some candied haws when we get home."
At the mention of candied haws, the little girl nodded vigorously and uttered one word, "Okay."
……
Superhumans at Xiling base came out to deal with the corpses of zombies to prevent them from accumulating and causing various diseases.
Shen Yang came over with the superhuman team and stopped in front of the two people who returned.
Without looking at the little girl, he raised his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder, smiling. "Your return is really high-profile, Xiaobai."
Avoiding his brother's hand, the young man just gave him a cold look. He wasn’t as gentle as when talking to the little girl. "Why did you call me back so anxiously?"
Not at all embarrassed that he was snubbed, Shen Yang still smiled and said, "Ranran is back. I have to ask you to come back and see her."
"Ranran?" When he said his cousin's name, the coldness in Shen Bai's eyes faded and he murmured, "She’s back..." When he looked at his brother again, he regained his indifference. "Eldest Brother, congratulations. Your wish is fulfilled."
Ignoring the sarcasm in Shen Bai's tone, Shen Yang waved his hand. "Yeah, my wish is fulfilled."
As he spoke, his arm went around Shen Bai's shoulders with a cold smile. "Do you know who Ranran came back with this time?"
Shen Bai, who originally wanted to shake him off, stopped when he heard this. Without thinking deeply, he asked directly, "Who?"
"Si Xu." Shen Yang lowered his voice, seemingly helpless. "Sigh, Xiaobai, let me tell you, when a girl reaches adulthood, we can’t stop her from falling in love –– Ranran was fascinated by that guy Si Xu. On the day she came back, she climbed onto Si Xu’s balcony at night and made a scene known to the entire base."
Shen Bai gradually estranged himself from Shen Yang because he couldn't stand the way his older brother dealt with things, but after all, they had understood each other best in the world since they were young.
Hearing Shen Yang's tone, Shen Bai frowned. "You mean, Ranran...has become the same as when she was a child again?"
Jiang Ranran, who woke up after being hypnotized, followed Shen Lang's wishes and became a standard lady. She would never climb onto any man's balcony, no matter how important that man was to her.
"Sigh~" Knowing that Shen Bai understood what he meant, Shen Yang responded with a long tone and punched his chest. "Don't you have a good relationship with Si Xu? If you have a chance, go and test Ranran."
Shen Bai refused without thinking, "No." After a pause, he sneered. "Eldest Brother, Ranran is Ranran. She’s our aunt's daughter and our biological cousin –– no matter how her personality changes, the blood relationship between us and her can’t be erased."
"Of course I know." Shen Yang pursed his lips. "I just find Ranran quite interesting now."
"Interesting?" That word brought back unpleasant memories. Shen Bai slapped his hand down. "After you said something was interesting last time, you plotted to kill an innocent girl. Do you remember?"
"Why are you mentioning this again?" The number of times this matter was mentioned recently made Shen Yang annoyed. The man’s smile faded and he said coldly, "Pei Wan'er is already dead. Shen Bai, it’s pointless to keep nagging me –– there's no way to bring her back to life."
Being accustomed to his brother's indifferent tone, Shen Bai looked at him quietly for a long time and said with a sigh, "Yes, in your eyes, other people's lives are never lives. They’re just chess pieces that you arrange casually."
Hence, for your own plans and obsessions, you could kill a girl who had no grievances against you without hesitation.
Not wanting to say more, he held the little girl's hand and said, "Youyou, let's go back."
"Wait." Shen Yang's eyes finally moved to the little girl. Their eyes met, and he smiled. "Xiaobai, you can be angry with me, but now that this girl is back, she has to follow me from now on."
"Follow you?" Knowing that his brother never liked Youyou, Shen Bai said in a deep voice, "Shen Yang, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Nothing. I just haven't seen this little sister for a long time and I miss her a little." Shen Yang extended his hand to the little girl and raised his eyebrows. "A117, come here."
Before Shen Bai could speak again, Shen Yang said with a smile, "Don't make me angry, Xiaobai –– you know I have a bad temper."
"I..."
Shen Bai wanted to refuse, but he was interrupted by the little girl who suddenly let go –– Shen Youyou let go of Shen Bai's hand, tilted her head, and looked at Shen Yang for a long time. Then, she placed her hand in his palm.
"You're still such a good girl." As if he had snatched a toy like when he was a child, Shen Yang held the little girl's hand, looked at Shen Bai in a show-off manner, and curled his lips. "Xiaobai, I still have to deal with these zombies here. You’ve traveled a long distance and must have been tired. Go back and rest early."
Knowing his older brother's temper and that talking more at this moment would be useless, Shen Bai leaned over and touched the girl's head, saying softly, "Youyou, you have to listen to Eldest Brother, okay?"
The little girl nodded.
"I'm going back." Shen Bai looked at his older brother coldly. "You..."
"Go back, go back. Don't worry, I won't bully her. After all..." Shen Yang chuckled. "This girl is also a member of the Shen family, isn't she?"
……
After watching Shen Bai enter the gate of the base, Shen Yang let go of the little girl's hand with some disgust. He pushed her aside, and did not hide his disgust.
"Stay away from me. Don't let me see you."
The little girl said "yes" and silently walked to a weathered rock and squatted down, just out of the man's sight.
Shen Yang didn't bother to spare her another look. He ordered the logistics staff to throw the zombie corpses on the ground into a pit to be burned and buried.
……
Five hours later, Shen Yang returned to the Shen family’s villa. He lazily greeted Zheng Li, who was in the living room, and prepared to go upstairs.
"Eldest Brother." In the corridor on the second floor, Shen Bai looked down at his older brother and asked slowly, "Where’s Youyou?"
"Oh." After being reminded, Shen Yang remembered the little girl he had left behind at the rock. "I forgot to bring her back."
He yawned and muttered, "It's okay. The gate will open tomorrow. I'll just ask someone to bring her back. Don't worry, I gave that girl an order. She won't get lost."
Quietly looking at the face that was very similar to his, Shen Bai's eyes were somber –– Was he still the same? After all this time, he still treated Youyou as...
After a while, Shen Bai withdrew his gaze and came down from the stairs.
"I'll go find her."
"It's useless, Xiaobai." Shen Yang reminded kindly, "It's after curfew hours now. You can't go out."
"I know."
"You still want to go after knowing that?" Shen Yang passed by Shen Bai when he went upstairs. Shen Yang pointed out, "Xiaobai, you care too much about that girl –– don't forget, a puppet is just a puppet. She’s without a heart and without emotions."
One should treat a puppet in the right way –– treating her as a member of the family was just a joke to ease one’s guilt and delude oneself.
