Chapter 24:

Xiao Xiao resolutely said: "Listen."
"Okay..." Linyou mused. "Where do you start?"
"From birth?"
"...Isn't it all over the night?"
Linyou exhaled helplessly, and then smiled. The sorrow that rose before remembering the old things was unconsciously smoothed in such a conversation.
She looked at Xiao Xiao as if begging, unable to surrender: "Okay, okay, just say a little."
"Ok."
Lin Yu recalled... How could she remember the things she had just born, she could only find out what her mother had said in distant memories.
In that case...
Lin Yuyou was most impressed: "My mother often said that I can eat very much in her stomach. It will be eight pounds when she was born. She is very happy. I feel strong. I got rid of our short gene, who knows……"
Her height will not grow after fifteen!
Lin Yu still feels depressed even thinking about it.
Xiao Xiao comforted her: "Little grapefruit is very cute."
Is it cute...Although I used to listen to what I used to say, it seems that Xiao Xiao said it has a different meaning.
However, the height problem is very serious. Lin You said angrily: "I think Xiao Xiao is better..."
Xiao Xiao concluded: "Then, grapefruit likes me, and I like grapefruit, just fine."
"..." Linyou was persuaded by her for a while.
Xiao Xiao continued to ask: "After that? What was it like when Yuzu was a kid?"
"When I was a kid... I was probably naughty." Lin You can't remember, "I have a convenience store in my house. At that time, I had that kind of snacks that collect cards. I heard that I once collected cards to collect cards. Empty a row of cabinets."
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"It's incredible... when I heard my mom say, she thought she was lying to me."
"Well, I really want to see, when Yuzu was a kid." Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Do you want to eat raccoon fruit?"
"...This will spare me."
Lin Yu refused to discuss with her again when she was a child, and always felt that she was exposing her dark history. She said: "In fact, there is nothing to come up with and say things, I just grew up normally."
Ordinarily born and grown up until...
The overlapping hands were shaken, and Linyou turned back and shook hands.
"...Later, you know, a zombie tide suddenly broke out. I'm usually very lazy and I don't exercise much. I can't run when I run into zombies. In retrospect, I'm lucky to be able to live to this point... every time Both."
Although this kind of luck can sometimes bring pain.
"..."
Xiao Xiao took her hand, and the two men's body temperature melted together. She said softly, "It's my luck."
……is it.
Linyou's eyes were slightly warm, and a soft smile appeared in the darkness.
With this sentence, it seems that the things after the story have become simple: "At that time, no one would want a teammate who was behind. It was the sister who took me in and taught me a lot."
"But then I didn't know that I was immune to the zombie virus...and I was separated from them after being injured by the zombie."
"I walked alone in the middle for a while..." Linyou took the twists and turns here, "I was later picked up by someone while hunting, only to know that the Linshan base was built by my cousin."
She recalled this time, showing a nostalgic look.
Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.
"Since then, I have been staying at the base. The protection for me after participating in the experiment is very strict, and basically all help in the logistics. The latter experiment reached a bottleneck. In order to improve my ability, I let me follow the hunting team to fight. "
Lin You said that, after a pause, his tone dropped slightly: "...until two years ago, the beast tide destroyed most of the base."
The overwhelming tide of beasts, like a hurricane sweeping, shattered all the bases established in the north. The zombie king who controlled the mutant creature and stood on the sea of ​​the corpse mountain... Lin You still remembers his appearance to this day.
On a desperate day full of blood, Linyou and the experimental team broke through the space from their sister and sent them to the edge of the battlefield.
At the last meeting, she was holding the harmonica that the children had transferred to her sister and could not say goodbye.
‘Listen to the grapefruit, the information about yourself and your hands is the most important thing. You must live anyway-as the base manager, I should say so. ’
‘But, just from my personal standpoint...I hope you don’t force yourself too much. ’
‘In such a world, it’s not enough to think too much and stretch too tightly, but you can’t do anything if you don’t want to. People always have to support themselves to survive. ’
‘I’m because I want to protect you, my family... until today. So I only hope that you can live without burden and find what you want to do. ’
‘...Go. ’
"She is a reasonable person." Lin Yu smiled bitterly, "...but, she was also expected. I can't do anything, only that information is retained."
"After the beast tide, I have been wandering around with my companions at each of the remaining bases. There are no bases where I can continue the experiment. In fact, I gave up long ago, but Brother Du has never been stubborn.
"Finally, I plan to try my luck at the Pujiang base, and the result is..." Linyou looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile in his eyes, "I was left behind and met you."
Xiao Xiao came over and hugged her: "I am very happy to meet grapefruit."
"Me too... I am happy every day now." Linyou touched her hair. "Okay, the story is over. Should I go to bed?"
"...Well." Xiao Xiao's voice sounded a little bit reluctant, but she still said, "Good night."
"good night."
Linyou yawned and was really sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"..."
The breath of the person on the side slowly became long. Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, her night vision ability was very good, she could clearly see Linyou's face in the dark.
Their hands are still clasped.
"like……"
I like to hold it tightly so that the knuckles are entangled... Xiao Xiao looked at Lin You's calm sleeping face, gently and cherishly folded his fingers, and slowly closed his eyes.
...
After breakfast the next day, Lu Jiayao bid farewell to Linyou.
Linyou sent her a little way, but there was still a bit of worries about leaving: "Sister, be careful on the road."
Lu Jiayao didn't take this, but glanced at Xiao Xiao and said to Linyou: "I have something to tell you."
Linyou was slightly startled.
Xiao Xiao saw that Lu Jiayao wanted to talk to Linyou alone and let go of Linyou: "It's okay. I'm waiting for you over there."
Lin You conveyed her apology with her eyes. After Xiao Xiao left, she looked at Lu Jiayao: "Sister, what are you going to tell me?"
Lu Jiayao lowered his eyes and raised his hand to stroke the knife handle.
"At that time... after we separated from you, it didn't take long for the team to disperse. Some people knew I was dead, some people didn't know where."
"..."
Linyou was not surprised by this result, she was used to it, and she did not understand why Lu Jiayao specifically mentioned this.
Lu Jiayao said: "My family, friends and companions all died in the hands of zombies and mutants... I used to think you were one of them."
"Every time I think about this, I can't help but hate."
She lifted her eyes, her expression cold, but there was indeed something burning in her golden eyes.
"I originally thought you should be the same."
"..." Linyou was silent.
Hate? There have been. The moment when the Linshan base was destroyed was even worse. During that period of time, the lettering on the harmonica was touched every day, it seemed to be carved in the bone blood.
If it was her at that time, it would never be possible to contact Xiao Xiao.
No, probably not at all. No sister said that to her, she might have ended in the end of hatred.
Lin Jiao turned sideways to the sharp-pointed gaze of Lu Jiayao, blocking Xiao Xiao's direction: "It has nothing to do with her."
Linyou pursed her lips alertly, with a faint warning in her tone. The blue eyes of the lake cooled down like a frozen lake.
"Do you know who she is?"
Lu Jiayao looked at her and looked straight into Linyou's eyes: "Linyou, you know Shiwan Base. Its predecessor was SW University. The most special thing about this base is that their core is not the base leader. It’s a professor from a SW university."
Lin You froze: "...what does that mean?"
"The youngest professor at SW University. She was the only experimenter in the South who participated in the Revelation Star Project. The surname is Professor Yi-Professor Yi, and Xiao Xiao Xiao."
Lu Jiayao said: "You don't know this."
"..." Linyou heard his difficult voice, "What about then?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
Lu Jiayao paused for a moment, and let go of his hand holding the knife: "Yes, there is one more thing... that guy who came out of the Linshan base, Du Yan, he died."
There was confusion in Linyou's mind: "...what?"
"When we were separated, his wife and daughter were still alive. That woman is a wind system, it should not be so easy to die."
"That's it, I'm gone." Lu Jiayao gave her a last look. "... Before deciding to stay with her, let's confirm her identity."
"..."
Lu Jiayao simply left.
Linyou turned back. Xiao Xiao stood in the direction of going home, watching her slightly bend her eyes, and the clear sky reflected in her ice-blue eyes.
"go back?"
"... Xiao Xiao."
Linyou approached her and suddenly stepped forward to hug her.
She rarely takes the initiative to do this kind of action. Xiao Xiao blinked unexpectedly and immediately hugged him back: "Grapefruit?"
Linyou took a deep breath, and the cool body temperature was passed through the clothes, and the intimate hug calmed the messy mood: "Nothing... Xiao Xiao, can you take me to S City to see?"
Did Lu Jiayao say something?
Xiao Xiao couldn't see Lin You's expression, she thought for a while: "If Yuzu wants to go."
"I... want to go." Linyou tightened his arms. "I want to see Xiao Xiao."
