"It seems to like you very much?"

Yan Xiu admired this chinchilla somewhat. This little hamster had good vision. He knew that his brother was the cutest brother in the world and wanted to get close to him wholeheartedly.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Ah Chu.

In fact, when Yan Xiu was a child, he didn't have much impression of his father Yan Guohua. After all, he didn't remember when Yan Guohua disappeared. When he remembered, he was blamed on Lin Xiang for Yan Guohua's disappearance, so that they were driven out of the Yan family and lived a frugal and displaced life.

When Yan Xiu was a child, he only had a vague concept of his father. He even blamed the Yan family for watching his mother suffer, and he didn't have a very positive impression of the dead father.

The first time he saw the younger brother of his original body was after the death of Yu Chuchu, a woman who was sent abroad by the Yu family who were disappointed with her.

At that time, the original body was less than two years old, white and chubby, just learned to walk, and could not speak fluently. He was a drooling bag, drooling while talking, but because he was so cute, it was impossible to make people feel annoyed. When they saw him smile, the color of the sky was bright.

At that time, he did not have a particularly clear concept of marriage. He only knew that his mother was more miserable than before his father came back, but he did not know what made his mother miserable.

So he could not hate his younger brother Yan Chu at all. He only knew that one day, the little boy appeared in front of him, and then his mother pointed at Ah Chu and said that this was his younger brother, the younger brother of the same father.

At that time, he could not understand what it meant to have the same father but different mothers. He only knew that he had a younger brother. He could not protect his mother like a man before, but when he was older, he could protect his younger brother like a man.

He will never forget the child with the fragrance of milk, who fell into his arms, mumbling and calling him Guoguo. The pride and sense of responsibility as a guardian that arose in his heart, which he never had again.

But in fact, Yan Xiu's feelings for Yan Chu were not smooth from beginning to end.

After Yan Xiu grew up and became more sensible, the second house, who loved to sow discord, would obviously not let him go. And the old lady Yan in the old house, who was old but not dead, did not regard him as a grandson at all, and wished to make their first house restless. At that time, he knew that the younger brother he had been protecting was actually the ironclad evidence that his father had betrayed his mother and destroyed their family.

Although the evidence of Yu Chuchu's crimes was erased due to the intervention of the Yu family, everyone with a discerning eye knows why the Yan family searched for Yan Guohua for so long in the area where he disappeared but couldn't find him, why Yu Chuchu knew Yan Guohua's identity but still had to wait until she gained Yan Guohua's trust and gave birth to Yan Guohua's child before returning to China. Behind this matter, she couldn't get rid of her shadow. All this might be her conspiracy.

It was Yu Chuchu's existence that caused them to suffer so much. It was also because of Yu Chuchu's existence that his father and mother's life was still like a pool of stagnant water even if they remarried, because this was a knot stuck in this marriage and in the hearts of the two people. Even if it was over on the surface, in the heart, this knot would never be over.

Yan Xiu blamed himself during that time. He felt that his kindness to his brother was a betrayal of his mother.

In the end, it was Lin Xiang who relieved her. This gentle and wise woman did not impose her hatred on Yan Chu, an innocent child who knew nothing, nor did she force her son to stand on the same front with her.

Because of Yu Chuchu's selfishness, she brought him into this world, causing him to become a child without a mother and a father who could be openly acknowledged since childhood. In fact, he was also a victim.

She thought clearly, but because of the other half of Yan Chu's blood, she was destined not to like him as an ordinary child, but her son unexpectedly had a wonderful fate with that child, and she would not stop it.

Because of Lin Xiang's persuasion, Yan Xiu gradually let go of the guilt in his heart and restored his previous love for Yan Chu, his younger brother.

And it must be said that when the original body was a child, he was indeed a kind and innocent child. Grandpa Yu may have absorbed the wrong experience in educating his daughter. When educating this grandson, he was more meticulous and paid more attention to the cultivation of character, trying not to let him become a willful and paranoid person like his mother.

If he had not died early, during the adolescence of the original body, when it was most likely to learn bad things, other people with ulterior motives would have taken advantage of the opportunity and gradually lured the original body onto a path of no return. Perhaps the ending of the previous world would have been rewritten.

Moreover, no matter how many mistakes Yu Chuchu made, she was the only daughter that Old Master Yu loved the most. After she left the world in such a tragic way, how could Old Master Yu bear to tell his grandson in front of him that his mother, his daughter, was a selfish, shameless, and despicable woman.

It was also because of Old Master Yu's concealment and his occasional regret when he mentioned his daughter inadvertently that the second room seemed more reliable and credible when he said those provocative words to the original body.

Therefore, no one except Lin Xiang and Yan Xiu could blame for the ending like that in the previous life. They were completely innocent.

Fortunately, everything will be rewritten in this life.

"I remember what you said about being careful about rats. As for this golden bear, why don't you take it back with you?"

Although the hamster was small, it was still a mutated beast. Yan Xiu looked at Xiong Da's love for his younger brother and wished he could get more mice with such insight to take care of his younger brother for him.

After all, huskies are still too unreliable.

"Zhizhi——" The bear's big eyes flashed, and Yan Xiu suddenly felt that he could see gratitude from this golden bear.

Are the IQs of mutated animals that high now?

During these days, Yan Xiu was busy improving his abilities and didn't pay much attention to mutated animals. As a result, he became even more alert to his brother's reminder just now.

Rats, as a group, were once one of the four pests that everyone quickly got rid of before the end of time.

Before the end of the world, hamsters were bred crazily due to the hamster breeding craze, and rats were everywhere in every corner of the city and underground. After they all mutated, they became the number one killer of various buildings in the safe zone.

Yan Xiu was worried that if those rats and hamsters had the same IQ as the golden bear in front of him, they might be a greater danger to humans than giant animals.

"Zhizhi——"

Please, please, Xiong Da sat down on the ground, raised his upper body upright, held his two little paws together, and made a bowing motion towards Yan Chu.

This is what he watched the owner of the pet shop do when he was teaching the cats and dogs in the store before the apocalypse. It is said that when humans see cute pets doing this action, their health bar will be empty, and they want dried fish. All small cans can confuse the shit shoveler into agreeing.

The appearance of golden bears is relatively high among hamsters. Even if their sizes become the same, their cuteness will not be affected.

Especially after he became the Mouse King, Xiong Da's life was extremely nourishing. The whole mouse was fat and turned into a ball of meat. At this time, it was bowing, its fluffy hair trembling with its movements, and its expression was silly and cute. It really made people laugh. One cannot help but be soft on it.

"Oh well."

Indeed, as long as Yan Xiu saw Xiong Da and realized the danger of the rats, it didn't matter whether he left Xiong Da here or not.

Besides, Richie seemed to like Xiong Da as his playmate. Yan Chu thought for a while, took the dog leash from Yan Xiu, and prepared to take Xiong Da home.

"A Chu, after the end of the world, have you activated any powers?"

Yan Xiu was afraid that his brother's failure to activate his powers and that he had become a dual-power user would further strain the brotherly relationship they had finally eased. Therefore, at the beginning, Yan Xiu did not tell Yan Chu that he had activated Lei's powers. Water dual ability.

"Probably the space system and the beast control system."

A pistol appeared out of thin air in the palm of Yan Chu's hand, "Since the ninth day of the apocalypse, I have found that I seem to be able to understand the words of those mutant animals and feel their moods. Likewise, unless they are mutant animals that extremely hate humans, Otherwise, those animals would never attack me."

He had no intention of hiding these things from Yan Xiu, because later, his abilities would inevitably appear in the public eye with reasonable excuses.

"I forgot to tell you that I still have an orange cat at home, named Orange Rich, four to five meters tall, and a Samoyed called Kaixin, three meters tall. These are my companions. "

"Ouch!"

Yan Aotian held his head high, and there was it.

Yan Chu's answer surprised Yan Xiu. His younger brother was indeed as outstanding as him, and he was also a rare dual-power user.

"I awakened the lightning and water powers."

Yan Xiu released a thunder ball and a water ball, and then merged the water ball and the thunder ball together. The pressure released immediately increased exponentially.

"We two should be brothers."

Yan Xiu looked at his brother proudly. If it weren't for his brother's sake, he would have wanted to announce this to the whole world.

"But you'd better hide your space power from the outside world, especially not letting Yan Xin and Yan You know about it." Yan Xiu has found a lot of evidence about the dirty things that the second room has done over the years, but he has no choice but to do it now All major governments and regimes around the world are facing disintegration and destruction. It will be almost difficult to investigate the truth about Yu Chuchu's death after the end of the world.

How could the truth about the problem that had troubled Yan Guohua and Yan Xiu for many years before the apocalypse come to light immediately after the apocalypse?

Therefore, Yan Xiu knew the knot in his brother's heart, but still couldn't untie it with his own hands.

"I know my own affairs well."

As soon as Yan Xiu mentioned Yan Xin and Yan You, Yan Chu's originally warm expression suddenly became dim, and his attitude toward Yan Xiu suddenly became cold.

"I will definitely find out the truth behind my mother's death."

After that, Yan Chu ignored Yan Xiu's plea to stay and left with Yan Aotian and Xiong Datou without looking back.

Yan Xiu couldn't help but feel a little distressed as he watched his brother change his face.

His younger brother's attitude towards him has softened these days, and he thought he had begun to let go of the incident, but now it seems that his younger brother has never let go of his doubts about the cause of his mother's death.

He still believed his second wife's words and suspected that Yu Chuchu was killed by his mother instead of dying naturally.

But it is true that because of this incident, his younger brother has been indifferent to him for so many years. Even now because of the apocalypse, in the face of life and death, he has revealed that he is reluctant to let go of his brother. This can make him completely let go of the hatred related to his biological mother. It's a little too easy.

Yan Xiu sighed, it seemed that he had to speed up the process of starting from the second room.

Didn't the younger brother just say that he saw that the people in the second room were secretly involved with some forces in the black market? These were things that Yan Xiu had not investigated before. He decided to start with the second room, the only breakthrough, so that his brother could see the truth as soon as possible.

Although this meeting still ended on bad terms, Yan Xiu still felt a lot more confident.

At least the younger brother was not obsessed with hatred. He knew whether his second wife was evil or evil, and he also knew what was right and wrong. Now that his younger brother had the ability to save his life, Yan Xiu felt that he could let go appropriately.

"Ouch meow——"

When the sun was about to set, Yan Chu finally stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun, holding Xiong Da, watching Yan Aotian having fun, and returned to his home.

Ju Youqian, who was originally playing with Happy, saw Yan Chu appear. He immediately turned over, revealing his white and furry belly, and screamed coquettishly at Yan Chu.

Your baby fell down and needs your hug to get up.

This is a buzzword that Ju Youqian learned from Yan Aotian. It feels that the context of this sentence is in line with the deep relationship between it and the two-legged beast.

"I'm afraid your father can't afford to carry you."

Looking at Ju Youqian's huge body, the corners of Yan Chu's mouth twitched, and he rubbed his big head with his hands to show his sincerity.

"Ouch!"

"Woof woof!"

"Squeak!"

Seeing Tachibana's petrified expression, the other three cute pets present couldn't help laughing.

The giant pine on the side seemed to understand the interesting scene happening under its canopy. The leaves were trembling, and the scene was extremely warm.

"Expand the scope of the safe zone?"

Yan Guohua was sitting at the head of the conference hall, listening to General Xu's proposal, who was sitting on his left.

"Yes, there are now a total of 5.73 million survivors in the safe zone, and there are a steady stream of survivors from the surrounding areas rushing towards our capital base. Obviously, the current base is already overloaded to accommodate these survivors. What’s more, what about the survivors who keep coming?”

General Xu is a spirited old man. Speaking of which, he is only a few years younger than Yan Guohua's father, and he is also Yan Guohua's elder. Now that a junior like him is climbing over his head, he may not be convinced.

However, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, he did not overly care about these. The suggestions he made at this moment were aimed at the hidden dangers that he truly believed existed in the base.

"Yes, these days, our army has cleared up some mutant plants around the safe zone and driven away most of the mutant animals. Expanding the safe zone is an imperative decision."

General Bai seconded the proposal.

Now in the safe zone, he and General Xu are weaker than the Yan family, but if the two of them unite, it will be a trouble for Yan Guohua that must be carefully considered.

At this moment, even General Bai also proposed the expansion of the safe zone. Even if Yan Guohua felt that now was not the best time to expand the safe zone, he had to think about it carefully.

"I wonder which direction the two generals think the safety zone should be expanded?"

Yan Xiu took out a map of the capital city. The current safety zone is roughly in the center, with four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. In which direction it will expand is a big question.

Comprehensive expansion is very undesirable. Expansion inherently means that a large part of the force in the base will be used to clean up the mutant animals and plants in the expansion area, and to prevent mutant animals and plants from attacking the security of several other directions during the expansion. Regarding the area issue, if we fully expand, when the force is not sufficient, it will only turn the originally safe base into a sieve.

Coupled with the current turbulent undercurrents in the safe zone and external and internal troubles, Yan Guohua is also worried that humans will kill themselves.

"This piece."

General Xu stepped forward and roughly drew an area on the map. Yan Xiu and Yan Guohua frowned when they saw this. That area happened to include the villa where Yan Chu lived at this time within the expansion area. I don't know if it was a coincidence. Or some people have ulterior motives.

Yan Guohua couldn't help but look at his younger brother sitting in the corner of the conference room. Now that military power is supreme, some political bigwigs originally only maintained their glory on the surface. In fact, in such a meeting, they basically had no say. Therefore, it is not taken seriously in terms of ranking.

Yan Guoqing and his two sons looked innocent, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Yan Guohua withdrew his eyes, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

"This area happens to be connected to the highway. Many people who come to the safety zone in Beijing from other provinces come from this main road. Expanding the safety zone and building the gate of the base here can save a lot of money. trouble."

General Xu looked at Yan Guohua's face without any emotion or anger, and thought about what Yan Guohua had said to him that day. His thoughts paused, and after a while, he continued what he had just said.

"Furthermore, according to the feedback from the soldiers cleaning up the safety area, due to unknown reasons, the mutated animals and plants present in this area are very rare, especially the mutated plants. The number is less than one-tenth of that in other areas. This is very important for our clean-up work. It’s a great thing to say.”

General Xu took out a data report. This is a summary of the feedback results of soldiers who have been divided into small teams to clean up mutated animals and plants around the safety zone these days. It is also interspersed with some reports of the outside world after the team of superpowers who accepted the mission from the mission hall returned from the mission. The description of the environment, indeed, according to this report, it is a very wise thing to use the area just circled by General Xu as the first choice for the expansion of the safe zone.

Many copies of the printed document were delivered to everyone present, including Yan Guohua and Yan Xiu, who also received the report compiled by General Xu.

Yan Guohua had to admit that if he was asked to choose, from the perspective of the base, he would also choose that area as the first choice for base expansion.

At the same time, as Yan Chu's father, he also hoped that his son, who had always been unwilling to come to the safe zone, would have greater protection, so he simply included the Yu family's ancestral home where he lived in the new safe zone.

Even if the child didn't want to see him anymore, he wouldn't leave the house left by his grandfather. And since the house was included in the safe zone, he seemed to feel more at ease.

However, just because it was so good, everything was so perfect and so thoughtful, Yan Guohua always felt that something was wrong.

Similarly, Yan Xiu also felt that there seemed to be a conspiracy hidden behind this incident. This conspiracy was against their Yan family, or in other words, against their main house.

"The expansion of the safe zone affects all survivors in the base and must be considered in the long term."

Yan Guohua was dull for a long time. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to express his position, he said with a slight frown.

"This is already the best choice. If you are worried about Guohua, you can send your people to see if there are almost no mutated animals and plants in that area as I said."

General Xu said earnestly, "Children should not be involved in the affairs of the elders. Does your wife still mind Ah Chu's child? But now it is a state matter, not your family matter. If your wife doesn't want to see Ah Chu, then Just separate A Chu from your wife. It won’t be so severe that just because A Chu is in that place, you exclude the most suitable place from the safe zone expansion options and make such a ridiculous decision. Do you have any idea? Have you ever seen the military uniform you are wearing now?"

"what happened?"

"What is General Xu talking about?"

Not everyone in the conference hall knew what happened between the Yan family and the Yu family.

Yan Guohua's expression changed, and when he saw the firm and persistent expressions of General Xu and General Bai, he suddenly smiled.

"Okay, let's choose this one."

Yan Guohua wanted to see what the Xu family, Bai family, and his good brother wanted to do.
