Chapter 22:

The first time Lu Jiayao saw Linyou was on the second day when the world suddenly became confused.
Although she had seen Linyou's photos a long time ago. In the freshman semester of the senior year, a good friend WeChat sent to her, and excitedly matched the words:
"Elementary school girl of business school!"
"I've seen a real person, the little one is so cute!"
"Legal loli! awsl!"
Lu Jiayao: "..."
The picture shows nothing about college students. It is more like Linyou who is in junior high school. He is wearing a loose sweater and long black hair is wrapped around his waist, and the tail is slightly curled. Holding the mobile phone in one hand, she cleverly waited by the side of the road with the suitcase in hand, with thin white knuckles showing in the slightly longer cuffs.
The autumn sun fell on her, and the falling red maple set off a snow-white face.
Ah, my sister also has this dress... without her, she looks pretty.
Probably such an impression.
When meeting, Lu Jiayao recognized her at a glance. The little girl in pajamas printed with cat patterns ran behind others, her legs were not fast, her physical strength was very poor, and she was panting.
Lu Jiayao was upstairs and saw her fall in embarrassment. Her two companions only hesitated for a while, regardless of her continued running.
The fall was heavy. The little girl struggled to get up from the ground. The zombies behind her head were all in front of her. She screamed and threw the trash can in her hand in a panic!
Actually threw her.
The slow-moving zombies were put into trash cans and struggled indiscriminately.
She probably dislocated her hands because of the outburst of anxiety, and she looked around blankly with her arms, and found that she was crying only after herself, crying while running, burping.
Lu Jiayao, who was planning to go down to save people, was amazed.
At such a pause, they missed it.
Later, when Lu Jiayao left S city, she met her again. She squatted in the supermarket with a fire axe, her hair was in a mess, her face was gray, she chuckled while eating, and she would be choked.
But this time it looks like a little bit, knowing how to hide and how to attack, that is, when you cut the head of the zombie, you will still close your eyes.
"Don't close your eyes!" Lu Jiayao helped her get rid of the zombie coming from behind, and the old mother's mentality from wherever she came from. !"
"Oh, oh..." She held the blood-stained fire axe and looked pitifully, "Thank you."
Lu Jiayao asked: "Do you want to come to my team?"
The team of Lu Jiayao are almost all acquaintances, and the situation is the same. They go to school in S City, but their families are in the north, and they want to go north to find someone.
Lin Yu's integration is very fast, which may be related to her appearance and personality.
Lu Jiayao taught her to use cold weapons. She was too heavy to hold it, and she only had to practice a short blade. The other boy in the team is a rich second generation who often goes to the shooting club and teaches her to use a gun.
But she can't fix the problem of closing her eyes in the face of danger. Lu Jiayao can only train her every day.
Later, everyone's abilities gradually showed up. She was looking forward to it at first, and later found that her abilities were particularly useless, and she hid secretly and cried secretly.
Lu Jiayao was helpless: "What's so crying about?"
Lin You buried her face and whispered, "What should I do, Sister? Am I, I am very useless, always behind, so everyone gave up on me..."
No one here will give up on you? And powers are not good, is it better to exercise more? You learn very fast too. Lu Jiayao has not done things since childhood and cannot understand Linyou's mood.
But...Forget it, Lu Jiayao thought, maybe she just felt uneasy and needed some comfort, so she said, "It's nothing, you stay behind, we will protect you."
Less than half a month after she finished speaking, Linyou was scratched by zombies to protect her teammates.
Everyone knows exactly what the zombie virus will become. No one had the patience to shoot her, and no one wanted to bear the guilt of killing his companion for the rest of his life.
Lu Jiayao feels that as a captain, she should be decisive, just like she did every decision before.
—But she can’t.
So they left the little girl who was still trying to smile and fled.
Lu Jiayao has lived for more than 20 years, rarely reviewing his life, let alone repenting. However, after that day, she repeatedly remembered the person who was dropped, recalling the lonely figure in the ruin that was gradually spreading away, recalling the first meeting, and recalling the photos she had intersected for the first time.
Occasionally dreaming back at midnight, she would think of her smiling face.
Until she saw the information about a certain experiment plan in Linshan base.
"Venus".
The girl who has been given this title has almost no change in the way she smiles on the photo.
Then...the moment of meeting again.
"...Sister?"
Why would a person remember such a distant voice until now? Lu Jiayao looked at the person in front of him and thought so.
No change at all.
Her hair was a little longer than when she saw it, and her soft hair curled slightly. Wearing short-sleeved hot pants with almost no defense, the weapon is exposed, and the fair skin can almost reflect in the dazzling sunlight.
She stood on this ruined ruin, full of incompatibility.
why? She gathered her arms and walked over, looking at the lake blue eyes lighter than she remembered, speaking in the same tone as before.
"Sister Jiayao, are you?" Lin Yu was surprised, and withdrew his dagger to show that he was not malicious, and stepped forward, "Ah, you may not remember me, I am..."
"I remember." Lu Jiayao interrupted her, her expression did not change, and she looked completely cold. "You are still alive."
"Um... fluke."
Linyou smiled bitterly. I haven’t seen it for many years. Although she doesn’t misunderstand that Lu Jiayao is malicious, she is also a little unaccustomed to the style of the school sister’s speech.
Because Lu Jiayao stopped attacking, the raccoon dog came to see Linyou and grieved twice.
Linyou waved at it and discussed with Lu Jiayao: "Sister, I know this raccoon dog. Do you have any conflicts with it?"
"Know the mutated creature?" Lu Jiayao asked back, and looked at her like a golden eye pupil. After a while, she put away the knife and said nothing. "Just do it. It's just that it suddenly rushed out, and I started."
The raccoon dog hid next to Linyou. It remembered Xiao Xiao's words. She didn't rub her, but yelled twice.
After being touched, it drew wild fruit with wide leaves from the masonry next to it and put it in the hands of Linyou.
Did you come to this place just to send this... Lin You softened her heart and patted his lowered head calmly.
The wound on the raccoon dog needs to be treated, and Xiao Xiao is still waiting behind—because it is a human, Linyou wants to negotiate with herself first, and she does not come out.
Linyou looked at Lu Jiayao and considered his words: "Is Sister passing by here?" It seems to be a person.
"..." Lu Jiayao did not answer. She looked at the interaction between Linyou and Raccoon and suddenly asked, "Do you live here?"
"Well." Lin You didn't deny that she remembered Lu Jiayao's help to her at the beginning, or she can be called kindness, "If there is a place where you need help, it's OK to tell me, although I can't do much. ..."
Lu Jiayao whispered: "No."
"..." Linyou said, "that..."
"Don't invite me to sit?"
Lu Jiayao looked at her quietly: "Inconvenient?"
"..." Linyou was silent.
Lu Jiayao is a keen person. Linyou is afraid that she will see what is going to be troublesome. She doesn't really want to have more contact with this school sister.
She replied somewhat hesitantly: "Sorry...Sister. My companion is not very..."
"Convenience."
The soft voice intercepted her words, Linyou turned back in surprise, and Xiao Xiaoguang walked right out of the corner behind.
"..."
The two men's bad eyes met in midair.
Lu Jiayao held the knife. She was tall and stepped on the broken wall. Her sharp eyes were full of pressure; but Xiao Xiao, who was below, raised her face slightly, not imposing, and her ice-blue eyes were like frozen glaciers.
"Xiao Xiao?" Lin You also saw her look like this for the first time.
"..." Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, or chose to turn her face and smile at her, "It's okay. It's Yuzu's friend, don't worry about me."
Her aura suddenly softened to her usual appearance.
Lu Jiayao's hand holding the knife handle slowly tightened and loosened again, and she asked Linyou: "Are you living with it?"
Lin You subconsciously stopped in front of Xiao Xiao: "...um. She is...my family."
Lu Jiayao looked at Xiao Xiao again. This time they briefly looked at each other and immediately looked away.
Lu Jiayao said: "Overnight stay, no problem."
Linyou looked at Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao bent her eyes and smiled at her: "Yuzi, the decision is fine. I have no problem."
Alas, is it really okay?
Finally, Lu Jiayao followed them back home.
Linyou's inexplicable worry. Although Lu Jiayao doesn’t look like she wants to do it, she and Xiao Xiao seem to have a strange tit-for-tat... It’s not like it’s hostility between human and non-human positions, why...
Linyou handled the lotus roots dug up in the kitchen today. Xiao Xiao, who usually came to help, volunteered to entertain guests in the lobby today.
There were two cups of tea on the table. They discovered the wild tea tree when they went out to play in the spring, and then they fry it themselves.
Xiao Xiao, who was entertaining the guests, was dealing with the injury to the smaller raccoon dog without saying a word.
Lu Jiayao looked around the furnishings in the house without saying a word.
The dull atmosphere in the room didn't show a tiny gap until the kitchen heard the sound of cooking oil from Linyou.
Lu Jiayao looked at the rudimentary puppet stitched on the table with fragmented fabrics, barely visible as a flower, next to the golden brown felt cat doll, the material was probably from the mutant creature lying on the outside.
"...She is still the same as before."
"..."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at her. The ice-blue eyes were as cold as the pupils.
