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

Chapter 123 Why hasn't my beloved grandson come back yet?

"grandmother…"

Ji Wanwan forced a smile with great difficulty, walked towards Qi Hao's grandmother with heavy steps, and reached out to support her.

Grandma Qi Hao patted Ji Wanwan's hand lovingly and said, "Wanwan, Haohao said that you guys ran into some troubles these days and you have to leave the base to solve them. How is it going? Have you solved the troubles?"

So, Qi Hao didn’t tell the truth to grandma?

Ji Wanwan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, did Haozi tell you what trouble is?"

Grandma shook her head. "He didn't go into detail, but I noticed that he wasn't in a good state these days, so I guessed that things must be very difficult."

Grandma paused, raised her head as if she was about to say something: "Wanwan, tell me the truth, have you guys run into any big trouble?"

Although Grandma Qi Hao is old, it doesn't mean she is stupid.

Normally, her grandson was a carefree person, but in recent days, Haohao had been frowning every day. He practiced his supernatural powers from time to time, sighing while practicing, looking restless and worried.

She also asked Haohao indirectly, but she didn't expect that Haohao, who seemed heartless on weekdays, was actually very tight-lipped and didn't say a word to her.

But this silly child, did he think that grandma wouldn’t guess if he didn’t tell her?
She is the grandmother who watched him grow up!

As a grandmother, how could I not notice that my precious grandson was different from usual?
The look in Qi Hao's grandmother's eyes made Ji Wanwan's nose sore and she almost cried. She shook her head quickly: "There are troubles, but they are not big troubles. There was just a little conflict with other bases. Now it has been resolved."

"Is it solved?" Grandma Qi Hao stopped and looked at Ji Wanwan anxiously: "Wanwan, why hasn't my darling grandson come back yet?"

Thinking of the victims who were carried back to the base today, as well as the wounded supernatural beings, Qi Hao's grandmother's heart suddenly panicked, and even her voice began to tremble: "Wanwan, tell me the truth, did Haohao get into trouble too?"

Ji Wanwan's hands suddenly tightened and she almost couldn't hold it anymore.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed hard, trying to control her sobs. She smiled and patted Grandma Qi Hao's arm, "How could that be? Grandma, you're worrying too much. Haozi is fine. He just went to the next door Jiangcheng with Xia Li for a mission. This mission will take a long time, so it may take some time for him to come back. As soon as he comes back, I'll ask him to report to you that he's safe, okay?"

Qi Hao's grandmother nodded doubtfully but said nothing.

Ji Wanwan supported Qi Hao's grandmother and walked slowly towards the elevator: "Grandma, your legs and feet are not in good condition and it is inconvenient for you to go downstairs. During the time when Haozi is on a mission, let me take care of you, okay?"

Grandma Qi Hao smiled lovingly: "I am an old man who can still move, but you are a child who is busy with many things. I can't always trouble you."

Ji Wanwan leaned towards Qi Hao's grandmother affectionately: "Grandma, what are you talking about? To me, you are like my own grandmother. Tell me, how can it be considered troublesome for a granddaughter to take care of her own grandmother?"

These sincere words made Qi Hao's grandmother burst out laughing: "You are such a sweet-mouthed child."

Ji Wanwan smiled sweetly and said, "It's settled then. I'll take care of you during this time!"

As she spoke, Ji Wanwan had already helped Qi Hao's grandmother back to the suite: "Grandma, your legs are so bad. You should walk less and get more sun. I asked someone to make a recliner and two footstools for me these two days. When the weather is good, you can sit on the balcony and get more sun!"

Grandma Qi Hao knew that Ji Wanwan was always well-behaved and filial, so she patted her hands with satisfaction and said, "Good girl, don't bother yourself. There is a small sofa in the room, which is already very comfortable. There are so many things to do in the base, so go and get busy. Grandma can do it by herself."

Ji Wanwan smiled obediently and chatted with Qi Hao’s grandmother for a while before she stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to go out, Grandma Qi Hao suddenly called her, "Wanwan!" The urgent call made Ji Wanwan slightly startled.

She turned back in surprise: "Grandma?"

Qi Hao's grandmother's eyes were red and her voice was a little hoarse: "Wanwan, if anything happens to Haohao, you must tell grandma. Grandma is not afraid of trouble. I am just afraid that Haohao can't come back to grandma. We are a family. No matter what, it is always better to be together..."

At this moment, Ji Wanwan, who had been enduring for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

At the moment when the tears fell, she forced a smile in embarrassment: "Grandma, don't think too much, the mouse will be back in a few days, you should rest early, I'm going to get busy..."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Hao's grandmother to respond, she hurriedly closed the door and ran away, fearing that she would cry out in the next second.

Yes, Grandma Qi Hao has experienced so many things in her life, how could she not see how poor her acting skills are.

Grandma just didn't want to embarrass herself, so she was just cooperating with her in acting.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Ji Wanwan felt.

She teleported to the operating room and leaned silently beside Xia Li's operating bed, crying silently.

At this moment, it seemed that only tears could ease the pain in her heart.

After crying for a while, Ji Wanwan had vented enough.

When she looked up again, the weakness and sorrow in her eyes had disappeared.

She never hated crying. Crying does not mean weakness, it is just the venting and expression of feelings in one's heart. The real weakness is only knowing how to cry but never facing the problems and root causes that cause crying.

Now that I've cried enough, it's time to solve these problems.

Ji Wanwan stood up and looked at Xia Li lying on the bed.

Beside him, 001, who had not dared to move or disturb Ji Wanwan's crying, finally dared to speak: "Host, although Xia Li is unconscious and his vital signs are very poor, he has a heartbeat, and the heartbeat frequency is gradually stabilizing."

Hearing this, Ji Wanwan looked at the ECG monitor beside the operating bed.

Just as 001 said, Xia Li's heartbeat has become very stable.

As expected of a zombie hunter, his powerful self-healing ability is truly enviable.

Although Xia Li is still unconscious, it is only a matter of time before he recovers. Ji Wanwan feels relieved.

Thinking of the remaining half, Ji Wanwan couldn't help but look up in the direction of the private space.

She just told Qi Hao's grandmother that Qi Hao and Xia Li went to Jiangcheng together for a mission, and it would take time for Xia Li to recover, so she might as well take Xia Li to her own private space to prevent Qi Hao's grandmother from accidentally meeting Xia Li and causing her to worry.

With this thought in mind, Ji Wanwan removed all the monitoring equipment connected to Xia Li, held her and teleported her to her own private space.

Now that the battle is over, Xiaolu and Yinyin have returned to their respective dormitories, leaving only Qi Hao, who is sleeping in a hibernation chamber, in their private space.

Ji Wanwan placed Xia Li in the last remaining bedroom, and then came to Qi Hao...
