Xu Qian subconsciously refused, joking, she was currently teamed up with a zombie.
What if Xu Lu suddenly decided to eat people, she wouldn't be able to stop him.
The man looked disappointed, but refused to give up. He stated his identity.
"I am the person in charge of Liyang Base, Ji Liyang. I didn't expect to encounter an earthquake. Now I'm afraid the base will be in danger and I won't be able to deal with it in time, which is why I'm so anxious."
Xu Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have proof?"
The earthquake was so severe, the person in charge of the base indeed had to return to preside over the situation.
But she didn't know if his identity was real or fake.
Ji Liyang immediately took out an identity card from his chest pocket and handed it to her.
The card was transparent, with his information printed on it.
Liyang Base Leader, Ji Liyang.
"This is the identity card the A City military just verified and issued to me. Do you see?"
Xu Qian stared at the card, it looked familiar. Xiang Jintian had one too.
It seemed the military had already verified up to this point.
Xu Qian pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is your base?"
Seeing hope, Ji Liyang quickly said, "Not far, just half an hour."
Xu Qian nodded. "Alright, get in the car. Sit still in the back and don't move."
Ji Liyang didn't understand, but he immediately agreed. It was already good that they were willing to give him a ride, so his request was not excessive.
Xu Qian couldn't guarantee that Xu Lu wouldn't bite him, so it was best for him to stay still.
The three of them got into the car. Ji Liyang sat there honestly, not moving.
Although his body was still, his mouth was not.
"Beautiful lady, handsome guy, what's your name?"
"Xu Qian, he's Xu Lu."
Ji Liyang automatically assumed he was her younger brother.
"Oh, your brother doesn't seem to talk much?"
Xu Qian didn't want to say more, she let out a faint hum.
Ji Liyang sensed that she didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask any more questions during the rest of the journey, except for directions.
Xu Lu, on the other hand, was very well-behaved, leaning against the seat and not moving.
Because he was wearing sunglasses, no one knew what he was thinking.
After 30 minutes, they arrived at Liyang Base.
It was called a base, but this base was not large at all. A few corrugated iron shacks were put together, and they hadn't collapsed.
Seeing that the shacks were fine, Ji Liyang breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car.
"Thank you, Miss Xu."
Quite a few children saw their brother return from the window and quickly opened the shed doors, running out and hugging his legs.
"Brother, brother, I was so scared just now."
"The tin shacks didn't collapse, grandpa and grandma are fine."
Ji Liyang's eyes softened, and he gently stroked their little heads.
"It's good that you're all okay. Let's go in and see grandpa and grandma."
Xu Qian was stunned. In the apocalypse, there were still so many children?
How were they being raised?
And the elderly?
"Liyang, you're back."
A dirty old man hobbled out from inside, leaning on a cane.
He walked with a limp, not very steadily.
"Oh, Elder Li, why are you out? Just sit down."
Li Zhou waved his hand. "It's nothing. I sit all day, my bones are about to fall apart. We're all fine, you can rest assured."
Xu Qian's pupils contracted. Why was the old man here?
When he disappeared back then, she and her sister were sent to the orphanage, and she had been sad for a long time.
She thought he was already dead.
Xu Qian rubbed her red eyes, suppressing her tears.
"Xu Lu, don't get out of the car."
Xu Lu nodded obediently.
Xu Qian got out of the car, her eyes closely following his every move.
Even though he was old before, he wasn't this old now.
At least he didn't have trouble walking with a limp.
When they met by the roadside, he hadn't told them his name.
He just said to call him old man.
They had spent two years together, and he had taught them sisters knowledge and how to behave.
Xu Qian was very grateful to him and respected him like a father.
She opened her mouth, her lips trembling slightly.
"Old man."
