Though Bai iyue allowed this woman to follow the team, she didn't hold any particular respect or concern for Lu Yin. More importantly, Lu Yin also had a weird temperant. She seed to respect and admire Lei Qian but if Jiang Haidai were to say that it was the truth, Jiang Haidai herself would say that it wasn't the case.
If Lu Yin respected Lei Qian, then she wouldn't ignore his orders so blatantly. He told her to not appear in front of him and yet Lu Yin was already acting as if Lei Qian never said anything to her.
"I will go with you." Though Jiang Haidai didn't like Lu Yin's actions and even looked down on her a little bit, she knew that she was an outsider in the team at the mont. She couldn't say anything to Lu Yin nor could she stop her. What she could do was to intervene without provoking anyone.
Lu Yin went to say sothing upon hearing Jiang Haidai say that she was coming with her but before she could say anything, the woman smiled and said, "You can't carry so many bowls on your own. They might look like they have no weight but it will beco quite heavy if you carry ten bowls on your own."
When Lu Yin heard Jiang Haidai's explanation, she pursed her lips and realized that what the woman was saying was indeed correct. She rolled her eyes and said to Jiang Haidai, "Whatever."
Jiang Haidai heaved a sigh of relief. She hurriedly scooped a few bowls of rice and placed them on a wooden plank but when she looked at the rapidly disappearing rice, she wondered if anything would be left for Bai iyue.
She pursed her lips and then scooped a bowl of rice before handing it to her son. She said to him, "Go and bring this to the nice sister who helped you yesterday."
Though ng Guo was a bit slow, he was still sensible and smart like the rest of the children. He nodded and carried the rice bowl towards the room where Bai iyue was sleeping.
Seeing the little boy leave, Lu Yin snorted. She didn't think highly of Jiang Haidai and ng Guo as mbers of the team. At most, they were pieces of burdens that they needed to carry until they returned to the city.
Her contempt for the two of them was so clear that even Jiang Haidai noticed it. She didn't like it but there was nothing she could do.
She was in an awkward situation and couldn't afford to fight at the mont.
On the other side, Bai iyue who was sleeping peacefully, slowly turned to the side. Her brows furrowed up as if she was troubled with sothing and after a few minutes, tears started to flow from her side. She was once again trapped on the sa day when she found her son was killed.
The lab was deserted and everything had been destroyed. There was not a single trace of her son. Even when she called for Xiao Cai, her son never replied. But she was sure that he was here; at least that was what Su Hu told her.
Even when Bai iyue didn't find her son, she continued to look for him. It was as if her obsession had taken over her mind. She knew that Bai Cai was not in the lab but her heart refused to believe it. She continued to look for Bai Cai as if the little boy was playing hide and seek with her.
Bai iyue didn't know how long she had looked for her son but eventually, as she killed the last zombie, she realised that her son was not in the lab. Her eyes turned red and her heart was filled with a kind of desperation.
Was it her fault? She couldn't help but wonder. Maybe if she had ignored the stupid lies that her father had told her and gone to look for Bai Cai's father, maybe her son would still be alive! Compared to those beasts in human clothing, Lei Qian would have treated her and her son well.
Even if he had another woman by his side, he was strong and powerful enough to establish a base by himself. Naturally, he could afford to raise their son.
Though her son would have been snatched away from her, at least he would still be alive. Because of her selfishness, her son —
Bai iyue closed her eyes and squatted down. She wondered if her son was taken away by those unscrupulous researchers or was he already gone.
However, as a mother, she naturally hoped that her son was alive. As long as he was alive, she was willing to do anything.
Bai iyue got to her feet and wiped the tears that were prickling in her eyes. She blinked her eyes and willed away the tears that were sticking to her lashes and turned around on her feet. She didn't give up hope, as she was yet to check the basent.
Maybe Cai Cai was waiting for her there?
Bai iyue climbed down the stairs one by one as the elevator was not working. She headed down the stairs, past the tal corridor and to the small gate that led to the basent.
However, as soon as she opened the door, the nauseating sll of blood overwheld her and her heart suddenly squeezed. She kicked the door open and rushed inside, wondering if her son was bleeding and injured. But as she entered the basent, she realised that there was no living soul.
Instead, there were all kinds of trash piled up inside the basent. Clothes of young and old. Toys and shoes.
In the corners, a few skulls were stacked like a kind of trophy.
Bai iyue covered her mouth as a rush of nausea overwheld her but just as she turned around, her eyes fell on a little teddy bear that had been thrown carelessly to one side.
"Cai Cai!"
