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

Chapter 38 She is my mother

After a long while, Ji Wanwan hid the pain in her eyes and raised her head: "A Li..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Siming spoke before her: "I'll go take a look, you wait for me outside."

He once saw with his own eyes his father being torn to pieces by zombies. The pain was so heartbreaking that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

He has experienced this feeling enough, and there is no need to add another person in this world who has to watch his loved ones suffer but be unable to do anything.

After awakening his special powers, Xu Siming's physical fitness improved several times compared to before. He walked deep into the house, and with the help of the not-so-bright moonlight, he could see the scene inside the house clearly.

A middle-aged woman in a floral dress was bitten beyond recognition and her legs were pinned by a collapsed cabinet, unable to move.

She raised her head, her scarlet eyes fixed on Xu Siming's direction, and she kept roaring like a wild beast.

There was a dead zombie next to the middle-aged woman. There was a sharp triangular notch on the back of the zombie's head, which looked like the edge of a cabinet.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it is not difficult to find that the middle-aged woman had a fierce fight with the zombie before she mutated.

The middle-aged woman's broken face was somewhat similar to Xia Li's. It was not difficult to guess that it was Xia Li's mother.

Xu Siming felt a pain in his heart and his eye sockets felt a little sore and swollen.

"Hey…"

He really couldn't do anything to Mother Xia, so he sighed softly and decided to let Mother Xia fend for herself.

As soon as he turned around, Xu Siming was slightly stunned.

Seeing Xia Li, Ji Wanwan and three others behind him, Xu Siming was dumbfounded.

Damn!

How did Xia Li get in?

At this moment, Xu Siming had only one thought in his mind, which was not to let Xia Li see this scene.

He quickly raised his hands and covered Xia Li's eyes, his voice trembling: "Don't look!"

Ji Wanwan's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.

Qi Hao also turned his head away with some reluctance.

Ji Xing lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly: It turns out that not everyone can be as lucky as their family to be able to gather together the day before the end of the world breaks out.

Hearing the sound, Mother Xia on the ground let out an even more violent roar.

This voice made everyone present feel like they had a lump in their throat.

Feeling the wetness in his palms, Xu Siming was at a loss.

After a long silence, Xia Li raised her hand and pulled Xu Siming's hand away: "She is my mother..."

She took two steps forward, letting the hot tears flow down her cheeks: "No matter what she becomes, she is still my mother..."

Xu Siming's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Xia Li.

At this moment, Mother Xia on the ground seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stopped yelling. She stared at her daughter in front of her with scarlet eyes.

Xia Li smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "Mom, you recognized me? Right?"

Mother Xia on the ground uttered an indistinct sob. A tear fell from the corner of her scarlet eyes. She slowly extended a hand towards Xia Li...

"Mom, I knew it! You wouldn't fail to recognize me!"

Xia Li sniffed, burst into laughter, and tremblingly stretched out his right hand as he walked towards Xia's mother.

When Xia Li was about to hold hands with Xia's mother, Ji Wanwan frowned: "A Li!"

"Roar!"

A gust of cool wind was accompanied by a roar. Mother Xia, who suddenly broke free from the cabinet and jumped up, was frozen. Xia Li staggered back two steps and suddenly fell to the ground.

She looked at her frozen mother in horror and confusion, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Mom...I'm Little Chestnut..."

Ji Wanwan, who attacked at the same time as Xu Siming, glanced at Xia's mother in the space barrier, and stepped forward to support Xia Li with heartache and helplessness.

The moment she approached Xia Li, Ji Wanwan's whole body stiffened and her eyes widened in fear.

Two claw marks suddenly appeared on the back of Xia Li's right hand!

The blood drained from Ji Wanwan's face in an instant, and she looked at Mother Xia in the space barrier with panic.

Even through the ice, she could clearly see that Mother Xia's fingertips were glowing the bright red color of fresh flesh and blood.

That is Ali's flesh and blood!
Ali is injured!
All the men present noticed that something was wrong with Ji Wanwan.

Xu Siming was the first to notice that Xia Li was injured. He quickly recalled what had just happened.

He thought that he and Ji Wanwan had acted very quickly and that Mother Xia should not be able to hurt Xia Li.

But it is a fact that Xia Li was injured.

Regardless of whether the wound was caused by Xia's mother or not, he couldn't let Ji Wanwan and Xia Li stay so close!

Xu Siming immediately reached out and pulled Ji Wanwan to his side, and forcefully led her back, keeping a distance from Xia Li.

At this time, Ji Xing and Qi Hao had also noticed the abnormality, and they both took a step back at the same time.

Xia Li was still sitting on the ground. Seeing everyone backing away, she looked up blankly: "What happened to you...?"

As she moved, everyone was horrified to find that the wound on Xia Li's right hand had begun to turn gray, and her right eye had also turned an abnormally light scarlet.

Ji Wanwan shook her head in disbelief: "No... No way..."

She suddenly broke free from Xu Siming's hand, ran to Xia Li, took her hand and started treating her.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."

"sister!"

"Late night!"

"School girl!"

【…】

The system's voice sounded like the death knell of the underworld, ringing in my ears over and over again.

Ji Wanwan's eyes were blurred by tears, but she was stubborn and refused to stop.

"what!!!"

A cool breeze swept by, and Ji Wanwan's hands and feet were trapped by the water ropes. She watched helplessly as her brother controlled the metal to push Xia Li away from her.

She screamed in anger, tears streaming down her face.

why?
Why can’t I protect Ali even after living again?
If she can't even protect the people she wants to protect, then what's the point of having this shelter system?

"Wow!"

A huge energy wave burst out from Ji Wanwan's body, breaking Xu Siming's water rope.

"Senior sister..."

Xu Siming subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to protect Ji Wanwan behind him.

As soon as he moved, the latter glanced sideways, gave him a gloomy look, and said in a cold and hard voice: "Don't come over."

Her expression was so cold that it was chilling.

Xu Siming subconsciously stopped and felt as if he had never met Ji Wanwan.

Without any obstruction, Ji Wanwan successfully came to Xia Li.

At this time, Xia Li was pushed into the corner by Ji Xing with metal, and was curled up on the ground twitching.

Convulsions are a precursor to mutation.

How could Xia Li, who still had a trace of consciousness, not know what had happened to him.

She restrained her bloodthirsty instinct, raised her head to look at her mother, then looked at Ji Wanwan, and smiled sadly: "Wanwan, don't come near me, go back, just let me be with my mother, it's fine..."

Ji Wanwan hid the sadness in her eyes and smiled as if chatting casually: "No, I have to watch whether you live or die. If you really mutate, I will help you end your suffering immediately!
How about it, is my best friend nice enough? "

"Hahahaha..." Xia Li couldn't help laughing: "It's already this time, and you're still saying this to make fun of me!"

The pain in her body was getting worse and worse. This tearing pain made her clearly feel that she was about to reach the limit of her mutation.

Xia Li clenched his fists tightly and buried his head in his knees: "Wanwan, if I mutate, you can kill me. I don't want to become a zombie."

Ji Wanwan felt a pain in her heart and gritted her teeth unwillingly: "What bullshit are you talking about! Get well soon!"

“Ah…Ah…Ah…!!!”

As Xia Li screamed in increasing pain, she whimpered and did not stand up like the other zombies. Instead, she simply fell silent...
