The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 122 You look so handsome when you smile
"The dead cannot be resurrected." Zhou Kai pursed his lips and lowered his eyes in pity: "This is a fact that cannot be changed. Please accept my condolences."

The old woman was shaking with grief and anger.

Zhou Kai raised his eyes and looked at the other victims' families behind the old woman: "I know that the death of a loved one is like a sharp knife piercing the heart for everyone. The unspeakable longing and sadness linger in the heart, making everyone miserable.

But have you ever thought about why they fight so hard? "

Zhou Kai paused for a moment, and his sorrowful eyes swept over the families of each victim, and finally fixed his gaze on the old woman in front of him: "Because... they need to protect you in this base!"

The old woman's eyes turned red and tears couldn't stop falling.

Zhou Kai took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to the old woman, his voice softening: "You are right, your son sacrificed his life to protect the base, but wasn't he also protecting you?"

The old woman lowered her eyes and looked at the tissue in her hand. Her aged figure looked even more hunched.

Zhou Kai once again raised his head and looked at everyone: "The dead are gone, the living are like this, everyone, live well, don't let the sacrifices of your loved ones go to waste."

He turned to look at Ji Wanwan: "Don't worry, your loved ones sacrificed their lives to ensure the safety of the base. The base will never forget their contribution!

On behalf of the lord, I promise everyone that the base will build a monument for all the victims for all the survivors of the base to pay their respects. Not only that, the base will be fully responsible for everyone's living supplies in the future, and there is no need to earn additional points.

This is the base's expression of respect to the victims and its sincerity to the victims' families.

Although saying this cannot make up for the grief in everyone's heart, I still want to say it again -

Please accept my condolences, everyone! "

After hearing this, the family members who were originally furious lowered their heads.

Although I don't know what they are thinking, I can clearly sense that the atmosphere has eased.

The old woman stared at the tissue for a while, then suddenly clenched it tightly and burst into tears.

Zhou Kai took a step forward and hugged the old woman: "Aunt, don't cry, I will be your son from now on!"

This time, the old woman cried even harder and patted Zhou Kai's back again and again, just like she was patting her own son.

The families of other victims also burst into tears.

But this time, there was obviously a hint of relief in the crying.

It seems that Zhou Kai's words have largely resolved the anger of these people.

Ji Wanwan looked at Zhou Kai with a little more interest and admiration in her eyes.

After all, he is a president who has seen big scenes and is better at manipulating people's hearts than her. If she said the same words, the situation might be different.

The old woman was crying sadly. Feeling Ji Wanwan's gaze, Zhou Kai raised his eyelids and looked at her.

When their eyes met, Zhou Kai saw the appreciation and gratitude in Ji Wanwan's eyes, and he curled his lips slightly...

……

After comforting the victims’ families, Ji Wanwan had a conversation with her parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Ji felt sorry for the families and decided to stay here to help them bury the victims and also to take care of them.

After all, in this situation, if no one in the base is looking after them, then no one will really be looking after them.

Ji Wanwan knew that her parents were soft-hearted, so she simply left the task of comforting the family to them so that she could free herself to do other things.

After leaving the villa, Ji Wanwan and Zhou Kai walked back to the inner city together.

Zhou Kai raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and obscure, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Wanwan beside him: "The people brought back from Bai Ze Union are much better than those brought back from the laboratory last time. At least they can understand human language. In order to prevent the infected from being mixed among them, I placed them all in an unused villa.

After three days of observation and no abnormalities are found, they can be allowed to officially join the base."

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly: "I always trust you to do things."

This was the first time that Ji Wanwan praised Zhou Kai so directly, and he couldn't help but smile.

Ji Wanwan was a little surprised: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Kai smiled and said in a lazy tone, "I used to praise my subordinates in this tone of a superior. I never thought that I would be praised like this one day."

Ji Wanwan was amused by his blunt words and couldn't help but tease him, "Then I'll be careful when I talk to you next time and try not to use that tone."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Kai laughed out loud this time.

This was the first time Ji Wanwan saw Zhou Kai laugh so wildly.

Compared to his usual meticulous and serious appearance, Zhou Kai's smile has a bit more of the unrestrained and unrestrainedness of a nobleman.

Of course, it would be better if we could ignore the swollen half of his cheek.

Zhou Kai was truly happy. This was the first time he felt so happy since the apocalypse.

The relief after winning the battle, the pleasure of awakening dual superpowers, the recognition from Boss Ji, it seemed that everything was worth making him happy. Since he was so happy, what was wrong with laughing a little?

This kind of smile from the heart can infect others. For example, Ji Wanwan beside him couldn't help but soften the curve of her eyes and eyebrows: "Brother Kai, you look very handsome when you smile."

Zhou Kai's eyes sparkled and he smiled brightly: "Really?"

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly: "It's just that I have something to ask you."

Zhou Kai nodded slightly: "You go ahead."

Ji Wanwan blinked, looking very innocent: "Brother Kai, why did you make the decision for me and let the base be fully responsible for the living supplies of the families of the victims?"

Zhou Kai's smile froze: "Ah, this... emmm..."

The man's smile disappeared.

A moment of cheerfulness was exchanged for a long silence.

Of course, the smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.

Just like at this moment, Ji Wanwan laughed happily: "Brother Kai, I was just teasing you, you handled it very well, really!"

It’s just some supplies, Ji Wanwan is rich and can afford it!

As long as he could help her appease the families of the victims, she would agree, not to mention supplies, even if it meant asking Zhou Kai to take off all his clothes and run and dance around the base!

Just smiling, the two returned to the inner city.

Zhou Kai, who had not rested since the battle, returned to the suite, while Ji Wanwan prepared to go to the operating room to see Xia Li.

As soon as Ji Wanwan turned from the hall and walked towards the corridor, she saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair at the entrance of the restaurant.

The man had gray hair and a hunched body, and his usually kind face was now filled with worry.

The moment he saw Ji Wanwan, the man stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with anxiety and concern that made Ji Wanwan's heart ache: "Wanwan, you're back..."

At this moment, Ji Wanwan's legs seemed to be filled with thousands of pounds of lead, and she couldn't even take another step forward...
