No one could understand the feelings of the Base Commander.

After searching for his son for more than twenty years, he finally found him, only for his own carelessness to make his son turn into a zombie while chasing the enemy...

The Base Commander had always been a tough man, but even he couldn’t bear the pain of losing a son again.

The slight dampness on his back made Leng Yebai pause.

A strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"I don’t know when I’ll turn into a zombie, but what about you, when are you going to lose weight?"

Leng Yebai’s body sank slightly, as if his legs couldn’t hold up anymore.

Running a long way with the Base Commander on his back was really tiring!

The Base Commander didn’t appear to be slightly overweight, but he was all muscle, which made him quite heavy.

The Base Commander used Leng Yebai’s clothes to wipe his face... and his nose, then suddenly jumped off, lifting his head high, trying not to look at Leng Yebai’s legs.

Didn’t dare to look.

Pretending to be calm, sending his son on his last journey.

Leng Yebai: ...

It felt like he was about to be sent away, and not howling seemed unworthy of the Base Commander’s expression!

"Ahem, actually Leng Yebai is different from others; even if he’s scratched by a zombie, he won’t turn into one."

Bai Xiqin pretended not to notice the Base Commander’s reddened eyes.

"Impossible."

The Base Commander subconsciously shook his head, a face full of sorrow.

Trying his best not to cry out loud.

His mind was made up to kill Wang Ge and Captain Zhu in the future to avenge his son.

His face was so sad, yet he tried hard not to be so tragic, forcing a smile onto his face.

This was the image of a strong father, wearing a "tenacious smile" while sending his son on his dying moments.

"Is this what you really want, to send me away?"

Leng Yebai’s face twitched imperceptibly.

He was quite touched, but something felt off.

He felt like not turning into a zombie would be a waste of the Base Commander’s emotions.

Maybe... he should imitate a zombie and roar a few times?

Ahem, this is too embarrassing, Xiao Niu is still here!

"Xiao Leng has antibodies, he really won’t turn into a zombie, if you don’t believe me, look at his leg!"

Bai Xiqin squatted on the ground, took out a piece of gauze from what was apparently his space, and pointed to Leng Yebai’s wound.

After the Base Commander looked, he bandaged Leng Yebai again.

The Base Commander quickly glanced down, then quickly looked up at the sky.

"I saw it."

His voice carried a hint of a sob.

In fact, he didn’t dare to look closely.

Bai Xiqin thought the Base Commander had seen it clearly, so he started to bandage Leng Yebai’s wound and said, "Don’t tell anyone about this, or else others might covet Xiao Leng’s Crystal Core!"

The Crystal Core in Leng Yebai’s mind could suppress the zombie virus and was also the cure for it.

"I won’t tell!" The Base Commander nodded firmly, vigorously wiping his eyes with his sleeve, "The Crystal Core is for your keepsake! I’ll find you a good boyfriend in the future, so you won’t be wronged!"

The grieving Base Commander had no ability to think, only feeling that the son he’d been looking for over twenty years was about to howl.

Sobbing.

Leng Yebai: ?

Is this person’s hearing bad, or does he really want to dissect his Crystal Core to send him off?

Moreover, does he really want to find a new boyfriend for Xiao Niu?

"Did you hear clearly? I won’t become a zombie! I have antibodies!"

Leng Yebai slapped... was about to slap the Base Commander’s head but thought it might be too rebellious, so he simply slapped the Base Commander’s shoulder hard.

Exasperated!

"Huh?"

The Base Commander was a bit dumbfounded by Leng Yebai’s slap and didn’t react.

"I’m not infected!"

Leng Yebai said slowly and clearly.

"Let me see!"

The Base Commander, seeing that Leng Yebai’s expression wasn’t fake, quickly squatted down and tore off the newly bandaged gauze, looking at the red blood inside.

"Normally, if infected with the zombie virus, it’d be howling within five minutes, and the blood would turn black."

Bai Xiqin explained seriously.

This was actually common knowledge in the apocalypse, but the Base Commander didn’t know that Leng Yebai had antibodies in his body nor that he had turned into a zombie before; he was too worried to think straight.

The Base Commander carefully examined Leng Yebai’s wound, suddenly stood up, and turned to leave.

Leng Yebai saw, as the Base Commander turned, his hand had already covered his eyes.

"Let’s go!"

Leng Yebai squatted on the ground, no longer looking at the Base Commander’s back, gently tugging Bai Xiqin’s hand, rubbing it slightly, his stern face incredibly gentle.

At that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of a father.

"Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Bai Xiqin re-bandaged Leng Yebai’s wound, pointing to the Base Commander’s back.

The Base Commander’s hand was still on his eyes, and faint sobbing could be heard.

"No." Leng Yebai’s lips curled slightly, "He’d be embarrassed."

"Uncle Leng, we’re leaving first!"

Bai Xiqin waved at the Base Commander’s back and then walked toward the direction of the bus with Leng Yebai.

Presumably, the Base Commander didn’t want them to see his current sorry state.

After Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin left, the Base Commander could no longer hold back and cried louder and louder...

Survived the disaster.

The night was not restful.

When Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai returned to the bus and were about to close the door, the Base Commander rushed over.

Without a word, he uncovered the gauze on Leng Yebai’s leg again and examined it carefully.

Confirmed it was red.

Then, in Leng Yebai’s dazed gaze, re-bandaged it.

Even tied a beautiful bow.

Leng Yebai: ...

The Base Commander had no intention of going back to sleep, sitting on the sofa by himself.

Bai Xiqin sensibly returned to the second level, leaving the first level for Leng Yebai and his father.

Leng Yebai could only sit on the sofa with the Base Commander.

The two didn’t speak.

Just every so often, the Base Commander would uncover the gauze on Leng Yebai’s leg to look at the injury.

In the end, Leng Yebai simply stopped bandaging it.

After all, it was just a slight scratch by Captain Zhu’s nails and didn’t need to be constantly bandaged.

Leng Yebai didn’t know when he dozed off.

Morning.

Bai Yifan was awakened by the rich aroma of chicken soup.

Bai Yifan wiped away the suspicious liquid that might be drool from the corner of his mouth, looking dully toward the kitchen.

The Base Commander was busy there.

The Base Commander looked so much like Leng Yebai that for a moment Bai Yifan thought it was Leng Yebai cooking!

He looked at Leng Yebai on the sofa, then at the person cooking, finally realizing it was the Base Commander.

Of course, it was Bai Yifan’s turn to cook today; Brother Leng probably wouldn’t be cooking for him.

"Uncle Leng, why are you up so early?"

Bai Yifan took a deep breath, watching the pot with only two bowls of chicken soup simmering inside, uncontrollably drooling.

This chicken soup must be incredibly rich.

"Ah, Xiao Leng is injured, so I’m making some chicken soup to nourish him. The chicken is just from the base canteen, it’s a regular poultry, lively and hopping; you’ll get a chicken leg later!"

Despite the dark circles under his eyes, the Base Commander was spirited.

The base also had a canteen, and it rarely had ordinary poultry; this was one of the few normal non-mutant animals, just the right kind of fat to replenish energy.

"Brother Leng is injured?"

Bai Yifan was slightly surprised, quickly giving Leng Yebai a look up and down, finding nothing unusual.
