"Want to go downstairs and play?"
Hearing Little Qiqi’s words, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but hesitate a little.
If it were before, Lu Chuan would have readily agreed to Little Qiqi’s request to go out.
After all, a healthy growing environment shouldn’t just stay confined indoors.
Even before these recent events, Lu Chuan was already preparing to take Little Qiqi out to experience the outside world.
After being bathed in sunlight, one’s mood would change.
And although the world had become quite rundown, Lu Chuan had already cleaned up Sunshine District a bit, making it look less frightening.
But things are different now.
The female officer and that Evolver lurking in the shadows came to Sunshine District to stir up trouble just days ago, and to Lu Chuan, the surroundings still seemed very dangerous.
The Sunshine District, originally under Lu Chuan’s control through Evolved Zombies, didn’t seem as safe as imagined.
The most critical thing is that Lu Chuan has been dispatching Corpse Puppets to search nearby, but the Evolver companion of the female officer still hasn’t been found.
Lu Chuan still doesn’t know what that hidden Evolver looks like.
He heavily suspects that the other party might still be hiding around the Sunshine District, maybe even still closely watching his Sunshine District.
With such bizarre abilities, that Evolver is even more dangerous than the female officer.
If Little Qiqi were exposed to their view, Lu Chuan was very worried that the little one’s safety would be compromised.
He could threaten the female officer with the survivors at the police station to surrender, but Lu Chuan couldn’t guarantee that hidden Evolver wouldn’t use similar tactics against him.
Resultantly, Lu Chuan was very conflicted at this moment, as he didn’t want Little Qiqi to face the slightest harm.
But seeing the little one’s big, fluttering eyes looking at him, Lu Chuan felt soft-hearted again.
Taking a glance around the room, earlier to prevent that full-blood-red zombie or monster from climbing in, the windows on the seventh floor were all reinforced with boards.
The room indeed felt very oppressive and dark, which didn’t seem suitable for infant development.
Thinking that keeping Little Qiqi locked in on the seventh floor didn’t seem like a solution, considering the oppressiveness around, Lu Chuan hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement.
However, Lu Chuan took the little one’s paper and pen and wrote: "You can go out, but you must only stay within Building Five."
The little one is still too young, and Lu Chuan didn’t want her exposed to enemy sights.
But if it was just walking around inside the building, there shouldn’t be an issue.
With Evolved Zombies guarding inside the building and the concrete structure blocking the view, it would relatively be much safer. This update is available on NoveIＦire.net
Ji Ruxue nodded obediently when she saw the words on the paper.
"Don’t worry, Dad, I won’t run outside recklessly."
Ji Ruxue knew her father was worried about her safety, especially since she and Nine Deaths Demon Police pulled a stunt on her dad not long ago, leaving him likely still sensitive.
"But Dad, you probably don’t know, with my current strength, no one can harm me."
"And the upheaval in the district recently, I was actually the cause of it all..."
Ji Ruxue sighed helplessly to herself, thinking it was her rashness that triggered everything.
If she had understood the situation instead of causing trouble initially, her father wouldn’t be so tense now...
Then Lu Chuan led Ji Ruxue downstairs, carefully holding Little Qiqi, fearing that she might stumble and fall.
The little one might be a prodigy, speaking, writing, and walking much earlier than her peers.
But she was still very young; if on flat ground it wouldn’t be a problem, yet falling on the stairs was unimaginable for Lu Chuan.
So Lu Chuan wouldn’t dare let Ji Ruxue walk alone on the stairs like she did in the room.
Thus, a zombie was leading a little girl, step by step, on the stairs, which looked somewhat odd.
"Dad, I want to see your pet," Ji Ruxue looked up at Lu Chuan, her pure and innocent eyes revealing a naive smile.
Ji Ruxue was still curious to see how the Nine Deaths Demon Police was doing now.
As a formidable figure in the apocalypse, Ji Ruxue wanted to successfully recruit the Nine Deaths Demon Police.
However, Ji Ruxue still hadn’t figured out how to tame this rather eccentric Evolver.
Although she retained some secret techniques from her past life controlling life and death, Ji Ruxue knew Zhao Lin’s personality wouldn’t respond to that...
So Ji Ruxue planned to bide her time, first getting in touch with Zhao Lin.
Lu Chuan was stunned hearing the little one’s words; there’s no pet downstairs, only a living human...
Was Little Qiqi talking about that female officer?
After a moment of thought, Lu Chuan nodded because, either way, the female officer was at least a human being.
Exposing the little one more to humans was not a bad thing.
At least Little Qiqi could communicate with humans normally, not like him, only expressing through writing.
Thus, Lu Chuan took Little Qiqi to the fifth floor, where upon opening the door, "Lightning One" was still standing motionless like a bodyguard, closely monitoring Zhao Lin inside.
Seeing this Agile Zombie controlled by her father, Ji Ruxue feigned curiosity and asked, "Dad, who is this?"
Lu Chuan took out his paper and pen, writing, "This is Dad’s friend."
Taking the note, Little Qiqi nodded respectfully: "Hello, Uncle."
Zhao Lin, leaning on a rice bag inside, was awakened by Ji Ruxue and Lu Chuan’s noise.
"Am I hallucinating? Did I just hear someone talking?"
Ji Ruxue’s innocent voice left Zhao Lin momentarily bewildered inside.
"And why does this voice sound familiar? Why does it feel somewhat recognizable?"
Upon waking, Zhao Lin instinctively looked towards the door, only to see an additional pair of figures apart from the Evolved Zombie watching her.
The big figure was naturally the powerful zombie she had fought before. But upon seeing Ji Ruxue’s petite form held by Lu Chuan, Zhao Lin’s entire brain seemed to short-circuit.
She stared at Ji Ruxue in disbelief, her eyes widening, filled with shock.
"This...isn’t this the Corpse King’s lair?!"
"Where did this little girl come from?!"
