Chapter 72 Mother and Child
Lianhua looked down at Lucy in her arms. The girl's unique body fragrance quietly penetrated into his nose. Her heart suddenly beat for no reason. Lianhua didn't know what to say or do for a moment. Her hands, which were forced to lift, stopped in the air. She did not fall for a long time, and she didn't know where to fall.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
It was not until "Ahhhh~" that an old cough came into the ears of the two of them that Lucy woke up. Seeing that everyone around was looking at her with a smile on her face, her pretty face turned red, she quickly pushed Lianhua away, took a step back, and kept a distance from Lianhua. Lucy didn't dare to look at Lianhua, so she could only look down at her toes, "That...I...just..." and hesitated.
The old woman smiled and walked down from the carriage with a cane. She came to Lucy, patted Lucy on the back gently, turned to look at Lianhua, "Haha~ Mother-in-law, I came uninvited, disturbing you to reminisce about the past, but can we enter the city first."
Lucy was hit by the old woman and also came to rest.
Lianhua quickly glanced at the people around her. In addition to the old woman and Lucy, there were five women in their 40s.
Seeing that Lianhua didn't say anything, Lucy thought he was angry when she saw that she brought so many people, and quickly explained. "That, I can't ride a horse, let alone drive a carriage, so I went to ask my mother-in-law for help. It just so happened..."
Seeing Lucy blushing and anxiously explaining, Lianhua couldn't help but stretch out her hand, pressed it on her hand, and rubbed it gently, "It's okay."
"Um~" Feeling the temperature coming from his head, Lucy felt her blood pressure begin to rise infinitely, her heartbeat suddenly increased violently, and even her breathing became a little difficult, and her face was even red and bleeding.
Fortunately, Lianhua only rubbed her for a while. If she kept rubbing like this, Lucy would probably be in shock on the spot.
"Hahaha~ It's good to be young~hahaha~" The old woman looked at Lucy and Lianhua and smiled happily, and took the others back to the carriage.
Seeing that everyone got on the carriage, Lianhua saw that Lucy had no intention of returning to the carriage, "Let's go, go into the city." She turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Lucy shyly lowered her head and was about to follow Lianhua. Li Ao, who had not spoken, suddenly rushed to her and spread her arms. "Is it my turn?"
"Hmph~" Lucy thought Li Ao was laughing at her, so she blushed and gave him a blank look, raising her foot and stomping on his instep.
"It hurts~~" Li Ao was so painful that he hurriedly raised his foot to avoid it, but the center of gravity was not sure and he sat on the ground. "What are you doing? Lucy~ I haven't seen you for a long time. If you hug Hua and don't hug me, you're even stepping on me," Li Ao cried and rubbed his insteps with his hands.
"Hahaha~" Lucy smiled happily after being disturbed by Li Ao.
...
Everyone's originally happy mood gradually disappeared after entering Caslo City. As the carriage deepened, the mood of the indigenous people on the carriage began to become extremely heavy, as if their chests were blocked by a large stone, making people breathless. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have imagined that the streets and houses they once knew would have become like this.
"Lianhua, how did this place become like this?" Even Lucy, who came for the first time, felt deeply saddened, "This was originally a city!"
"Lucy, this is what we looked like after we cleaned it up. It was all zombies here before." Lianhua walked in front and had no time to speak, Li Ao answered first.
"Zombies! Are there really zombies?"
"Of course, you'll see it when you wait." Li Ao smiled mysteriously.
"What? There are zombies here!" Lucy looked around nervously, and unconsciously accelerated her pace and walked to Lianhua.
"Hahaha~" Seeing Lucy's nervous expression, Li Ao avenged the revenge he had just stepped on.
"Don't worry, you're all controlled." Lianhua stared at Li Ao coldly and comforted Lucy.
The group passed through the trade and residential areas and came outside the church wall. A huge barrier came into view, and the dense zombies inside entered everyone's eyes. Li Ao had already told everyone about the basic situation of Casro City. They knew that their relatives and friends were among these zombies, and their fear of zombies had long been replaced by sad moods. Five women stood outside the barrier for a long time before being persuaded to enter the church by the old woman, and each of them had tears on their faces.
The survivors who were originally working in the church surrounded them and asked about the situation outside and the situation of their relatives. For a moment, the six old women were surrounded and could not be separated.
"Isn't this Aunt Jamie!" Captain Senwen, who squeezed into the front, recognized the old woman in the crowd at a glance.
"Captain Senwen!" The old woman naturally recognized Senwen. She met her again when she went to the city lord's mansion to visit her son. "It's great to see you here."
"Fleck, Gilak, come quickly!" Captain Senwen shouted to the two brothers who were still outside the crowd, "Come and see who is here."
When Fleck and Gilak squeezed through the crowd and saw the old woman, the two tall young men actually cried, crying like two children, "Mom~"
The old woman touched their cheeks with her slightly trembling hands, and her tears couldn't stop falling out, "It's great that you're fine."
"Mom~" Flake and Gilleck said nothing but knelt in front of the old woman, hugging her hard, and the old woman hugged them tightly. The three of them hugged each other and cried like this.
When the people around him watched this scene, they could not think of their family. In a short while, a sea of tears became a sea of tears, and everyone had tears on their faces.
Lianhua, Li Ao and Lucy did not leave, but stood aside. The atmosphere there also infected Lucy. At this time, she was already crying into tears. She looked at Lianhua and asked, "Can the zombies in the barrier turn back to their original appearance, right?"
"Yes," Lianhua also looked at Lucy and nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Lucy, as long as Delay's live test succeeds, they will be able to return to their original appearance." Li Ao said seriously.
"That's great." Lucy burst into tears and smiled. "Who is Delay?"
"Hehe~ He's in the laboratory with Jane now. When he comes, I'll introduce you to you. He's a very interesting person, you will definitely like it." Li Ao was serious last second and became hilarious again.
"Who will like it~" Lucy gave Li Ao a blank look and muttered in a low voice.
"Lucy, what did you say?" Li Ao certainly didn't hear Lucy's words clearly.
"I mean, what have you experienced here? Can you tell me?" Lucy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked curiously.
"Of course, it was a heavy rain and thunder and lightning morning..." Li Ao began to tell the story. The story started when Lianhua and his friends arrived in Casro City, and met an intern priest named Ryder. Under the priest's guidance, they came to the church, learned the cause of the zombie disease, and then went to Lianhua to explore the city lord's mansion at night. The story was normal and did not deviate from the truth. However, after the battle against the giant brothers and the necromancer became Li Ao and took the lead alone, and the rest of them were so-called.
Lianhua was ashamed to hear it. How could a person be so shameless? "I should really let Jane and Delai come over and listen," Lianhua said sarcastically.
"Hmm? Is Li Ao's words wrong?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"Haha~" Li Ao could only smile awkwardly. He just said too much and forgot the lotus next to him.
"You Li Ao, you dare to lie to me!" Lucy raised her eyebrows and glared at Li Ao fiercely.
"Hua, help me quickly, you won't be helping me, right?" Li Ao hurriedly ran to Lianhua.
"Yes." Lianhua threw a word and walked away.
"It's inhumane!" Li Ao's scream came from behind.
