Chapter 78: Chapter Seventy-Eight: Joining the Team
“Little sister, thank you for coming to rescue us,”
Guo Yang was tearfully grateful; he had been saved by Lu Hao once again.
“Lu Hao, how did you know we were here?” Guo Yang asked curiously.
“Let’s talk about it when we get back,”
As Lu Hao spoke, he extracted a crystal core from the head of a zombie on the ground. It was the red Fire Element Crystal Core he needed.
It was Mao Qiqi who had informed them about this place. Qiqi said that three humans and a mutated zombie had arrived nearby, and from that, he guessed that it could be Guo Yang and his group in danger, so he and Su Jin hurried over.
The car Guo Yang had arrived in was now completely burned out, so the group had no choice but to walk back.
When the family learned that Su Jin and Lu Hao had gone out to rescue others, they waited for them in the courtyard, relieved only when they saw them return safely.
Lu Hao introduced the three men to his family. After exchanging greetings, Yin Chengtian, who had come out of the house, noticed Liao Yifan behind Captain Lu and brightened up, running over.
“Liao Yifan? How did you get here?”
Though Liao Yifan was known to be a bit overbearing, seeing her old colleague unharmed brought joy to him and Shi Jin both.
“I came with a friend and just got rescued by Captain Lu,” Yifan answered. “What are you two doing here?”
Liao Yifan was also delighted to see them. She had been worrying about her colleagues at the police station while on the road.
“We’ve come to hang out with Captain Lu, hehe,” Shi Jin replied, feeling a bit shy speaking to a beautiful woman.
“Fanfan, stop lingering here; you got hurt just now, didn’t you? Is it severe?” Guo Yang asked with concern.
Lu Hao glanced at Xue Wanyi, his expression seeming to ask, ‘Why has this guy changed like this?’ Xue Wanyi shrugged, indicating he didn’t know either.
“Who? Who got hurt? Let me take a look quickly,” Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui said, rushing over when she heard someone was injured.
“Ahem, I forgot to introduce her. This is my mom; she awakened a Healing Element Ability recently,” Su Jin explained. Mrs. Su had been eager to find someone to heal these days. If she hadn’t been so concerned about her own family, she would have even considered experimenting on her husband.
“Really, Auntie, that’s amazing,” Guo Yang was also glad, seeing that Fanfan’s injury finally had a remedy.
In fact, Liao Yifan was merely punched by a zombie and wasn’t seriously hurt. But seeing the enthusiastic family, especially the kind-looking Mrs. Su, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Lin Tianhui, seeing the beautiful young girl not rejecting her, liked her even more and pulled her into the house.
Lu Hao urged Guo Yang and Xue Wanyi not to be shy and invited them inside as well.
Listening to the ruckus outside, Liao Yifan found it incredible.
“Don’t mind them; they’re always like this,” Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui explained while treating her wound.
“That’s good; I can see they have a strong bond,” Liao Yifan genuinely felt it was nice. This place was different from anywhere else she had been.
“Sister,”
Feeling someone tugging at her clothes, Liao Yifan looked down and immediately melted, confronted by a tender and adorable little girl.
“Hello, little friend,” Liao Yifan said, bending down to speak to her.
“Hello, sister. My name is Mao Qiqi,” Qiqi greeted politely.
“Hello, you can call me Sister Yifan,”
“Sister, the brother over there said you’re very good. Can you teach me martial arts?” Qiqi looked up expectantly at the beautiful sister before her.
“Sure, but learning martial arts is quite hard. Are you willing?” Liao Yifan was surprised to see such a young child eager to learn martial arts.
“Yes, Qiqi wants to go and kill the big monsters,”
