Facing Grandma Yu's kind eyes, Ji Zhan couldn't say a word of rejection, so he sat down next to Grandma Yu and took a bite of the bread in his hand.
The freshly baked bread is still warm. After you bite it, it has a soft texture and a rich milky aroma that fills your tongue, leaving you with endless aftertaste.
Ji Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, he smiled a little at Grandma Yu and said, "It's delicious."
Grandma Yu's old eyes also narrowed with a smile, and then said: "If you like it, grandma will pack some for you later, but this bread is the most delicious when it is freshly baked. If you want to eat it in the future, you can always ask your daughter to take you.
Come."
Ji Zhan made a move, and Grandma Yu also had a little selfishness in her words.
It probably wasn't selfishness, but her partiality for her granddaughter.
Although Yu Wu was excluded from the team, she never told Grandma Yu, but Grandma Yu would often see her coming back with red eyes.
Yu Wu always wiped away her tears before facing Grandma Yu, and Grandma Yu never exposed her.
Grandma Yu gently held Ji Zhan's hand. Her hand was rough and dry, but very warm. She said, "Don't dislike my daughter. She is very powerful and brave."
When mentioning Yu Wu, the first thought of those who know her is probably that her power level is almost at the bottom among evolvers.
But at this moment, Ji Zhan suddenly realized something when he saw Grandma Yu who was kept healthy and energetic by Yu Wu.
Ji Zhan suddenly asked: "Grandma, when the apocalypse came three years ago, was it Yu Wu who brought you to the fifth security base?"
Grandma Yu nodded and told Ji Zhan what happened three years ago with pride in her tone.
Three years ago, after Yu Wu killed her parents who turned into monsters, she took Grandma Yu to escape in the apocalypse. In order to reach the safe base smoothly, many people spontaneously formed a team, and the strong men in the team became a team
He is the leader in the team, and the elderly people who cannot move and the children who often cry have become a burden.
There were many difficulties along the way. They were attacked by monsters several times and the team was scattered to pieces.
The fifth safe base was already in sight, but someone in the team deliberately didn't say anything because he was bitten by an infected monster. When that person turned into a monster and exploded, everyone who was already exhausted almost disappeared in front of the monster.
Any resistance.
Grandma Yu's leg was injured and she couldn't run. She pushed Yu Wu and said to her favorite granddaughter with tears: "Don't worry about me, girl, run! You must live! Run!"
But the more critical the situation became, Yu Wu was obviously so scared that his whole body was shaking, but just like the last time he faced his parents who had turned into monsters, his brain was extremely calm and clear, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.
To live.
I want to live with my grandma!
Yu Wu pushed Grandma Yu into a crack in the ground, where a person could be hidden. "Grandma, don't make a sound. Don't make a sound. I will come back to pick you up soon! We are going to the base together!"
After Yu Wu hid Grandma Yu, he led all the monsters away alone.
At that time, Yuwu wasn't even an evolved person, she was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl who had lost her parents and had an old man by her side.
Such Yuwu survived by herself.
On the second night after hiding Grandma Yu, Yu Wu came back in a mess.
"Grandma, I'm here to pick you up."
If Grandma Yu hadn't been so familiar with her granddaughter's voice, she probably wouldn't have recognized the person covered in blood as Yu Wu.
Yuwu pulled Grandma Yu up from the crack in the ground, but Grandma Yu's foot was injured and she could no longer walk.
Yu Wu seemed to see Grandma Yu's intention to persuade her to leave alone, and said first: "I will carry you away! If we die, we will die together. Grandma, I will only have you... Don't be like dad."
Mom left me like that..."
Yu Wu is a person with well-developed tear ducts. Every time he falls, he will cry all the way to the end of the street, and then his parents will have to coax him for a long time before he can stop.
But at that time, Yu Wu held back a drop of tears, as if she knew that once she started crying, all the fragile defenses in her heart would collapse.
It's not the time to cry yet.
Yu Wu tied Grandma Yu to his back with a rope and carried her on his back. There was no one around to rely on, and there was still some distance to go from the fifth security base.
Yu Wu carried Grandma Yu on his back for three days, searching for food, avoiding monsters, and traveling long distances...
In this way, they really arrived at the fifth security base.
"...At that time, we had already reached the base, but my daughter seemed to have completely lost consciousness. She was still carrying me and kept walking forward. It was not until I told her that I had arrived that she started to cry."
When Grandma Yu talked about that experience three years ago, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "My daughter is really smart and brave, but I, as an old woman, have dragged her down..."
Ji Zhan wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe Grandma Yu's tears, but suddenly remembered that his handkerchief had been wet by Yu Wu crying on the road...
Ji Zhan sighed inwardly and had no choice but to raise his arm and wipe away Grandma Yu's tears with his clean sleeves.
"Don't say that." Ji Zhan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the ups and downs in her heart. She actually envied Grandma Yu and Yu Wu. People who are connected by blood will always favor each other without any reason. "You are not hers."
Drag, you are the source of all her courage."
Ji Zhan originally wanted to give up Yu Wu, but after Grandma Yu told her these things, she came up with the idea of trying again.
It's not out of sympathy or soft-heartedness.
But Yuwu does have potential worth looking forward to.
When Yuwu is forced into a desperate situation, he always makes the wisest and most courageous decisions to survive. He also has the courage to fight against monsters to protect his loved ones, and he also possesses amazing perseverance.
So Ji Zhan made a decision.
When Yu Wu returned from delivering the bread, Ji Zhan took her outside to talk.
Ji Zhan did not go around in circles with Yu Wu, but asked directly: "Do you still want to join our team?"
Yu Wu was stunned and stumbled: "But...but I...I am qualified..."
"If you want to, I will mention it to the deputy captain and the others, and they will agree. But when performing a mission, no one can be responsible for your life." Ji Zhan said.
Yu Wu hesitated, remembering Qi Huan's wound.
"If you want to join, come to me at the training ground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you don't want to, don't come."
"No one is afraid of death, but if all human beings dare not resist because of fear, human beings will perish, including you and your relatives."
