"Well, maybe I read the wrong ......"

Hearing his father say this, Zhang Ning blinked his scarlet peach blossom eyes, and after thinking for a moment to no avail, he turned over and got into the car, simply leaving this matter behind.

The sun was high, the brick-red pickup truck was driving on the unmanned road, and on the road that had just left the Sunshine Community, Zhang Ning and the others did not even see the shadow of a zombie, but after driving into the main road, the number of sporadic zombies on both sides increased.

However, fortunately, there was a giant dog mountain cannon in the car, and those wandering secondary infected people did not dare to easily approach the encirclement after smelling the breath of the mutant beast, which made the pickup truck all the way thrilling and unimpeded.

"Husband, are we really going to Ah Si's house, I'm afraid that if they all become the kind of monsters on the street, then ......"

In the cab, Zhang's mother's hands were twisted together, her face full of worry and fear for the future.

"I still have to take a look, after all, it's your sister, if she's fine, then we'll take her to the Siming Mountain Shelter together."

Zhang's father seemed to have recovered from his previous depression, and he was concentrating on driving the pickup truck, and in the face of Zhang's mother's questioning, he answered quite patiently.

"But when the communication was restored before, I called and the phones were turned off, do you say something happened......?"

Hearing her husband's reply, Zhang's mother's heart seemed to settle down a little, but she soon remembered something, and her face was full of worry again.

"It's possible that the mobile phone is out of battery, you think, from the power outage in the city to the restoration of communications, this period of time is not long, and it is not long, but it is also short, in case Ah Si happens to have a dead phone, then it is very reasonable that we can't get through."

"Ah Si, she lives alone, and now that such a big disaster has happened, we should go and see what we say."

"It's not that I don't want to ......"

Hearing Zhang's father say this, Zhang's mother's hands tightened.

"I know you're afraid, I'm afraid that your sister will also become a zombie wandering the streets, but whether people are alive or dead, you still have to confirm with your own eyes......"

Zhang's father sighed lightly, the steering wheel in his hand slowly turned, and the pickup truck drove off the avenue and headed for the west of the city.

"Hmmm......"

Mother Zhang nodded, turned her face to look at the rear window.

The giant dog and Zhang Ning stayed in the back compartment well, and they could only see their backs from the cab, but Zhang's mother knew that whether it was the mountain cannon or her son, they should maintain a high degree of vigilance at this time.

……

"Pao'er, I'll take you to see my little aunt this time, you'll have to behave better in a while, ah, yes, yes, yes, smile, I didn't let you put your teeth out, take it away! That's right......"

In the back compartment of the pickup truck, Zhang Ning held the big face of the mountain cannon in both hands, and kept rubbing it.

It's also strange to say that when he first came out of the Sunshine Community, Zhang Ning was still looking for nail clippers, thinking about cutting the nails half a foot long on his fingers, so as not to affect his usual movements.

Not long after this thought swirled in Zhang Ning's head, something magical happened.

The nails, which were originally black and shiny like razors, slowly became transparent and shriveled, and before the pickup truck could hit the road, all the nails fell off on their own, and then some blackened normal nails were born from the places where they fell off.

The whole process was painless, as if you had to take off your pants when you went to the bathroom, as if it was meant to be like this.

Seeing the long nails like sharp claws falling off, Zhang Ning was also curious and observed repeatedly for a long time, but after all, he couldn't see anything

Seeing that he didn't feel any pain, he put it aside and ignored it.

As for the abnormality on the back of the neck, because there was no strange feeling coming, and Zhang Ning's attention was attracted by the conversation of his parents in the cab, he left it directly behind, and he didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to investigate.

The fourth in the mouth of Zhang's father and mother is naturally Zhang Ning's little aunt.

Zhang Ning's aunt's full name is Tu Zhiying, and she is Zhang's mother's sister.

Zhang's mother is the eldest in the family, and Zhang Ning's little aunt is the fourth in line, the youngest girl in the Tu family.

Since Zhang Ning can remember, he has not seen other relatives in his mother's family, including his grandparents and Zhang's mother's two younger brothers.

It seems that the only relative on my mother's side is only a little aunt like Tu Zhiying.

When he was a child, Zhang Ning also asked his mother curiously why other children had grandparents, but he didn't.

Whenever this time, Zhang's mother always shook her head with a smile and told Zhang Ning that he was actually the same as others, and he also had grandparents, but his grandparents had some special jobs and couldn't live an ordinary life like them.

When asked further, Zhang's mother kept silent, or simply said that she didn't know.

When Zhang Ning was a child, he could only see his grandparents and two uncles through an old photo.

The grandmother in the photo is very young, although she is in her early forties, she looks only in her thirties, with neat short hair, a pair of heavy glasses on her face, and a baby girl in her arms.

The whole body is the most common white coat, although the clothes are very simple, even simple, but Zhang Ning can see from the eyes of the thick lenses that his grandmother should be an elite educated person.

And the middle-aged man standing next to his grandmother was his grandfather when he was young.

Different from my grandmother's white coat outfit, my grandfather's upper body is wearing an army green tight T-shirt, and the lower body is paired with a pair of sturdy black pants, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger's back and bee waist.

In front of them, three children of different heights stood.

The girl with shoulder-length hair on the far left is Zhang Ning's mother, Tu Yunxiao.

The two boys on the right who look very similar are Zhang Ning's two uncles who have never met, Tu Xunhua and Tu Chengrong.

Since the brothers are twins and stand together with the same height, it is like a copy and paste, and it is impossible to distinguish the specific identities of the two without careful distinction.

And the baby in swaddling clothes is Zhang Ning's little aunt - Tu Zhiying.

Among the four children's appearances, Zhang's mother's appearance is the most average, and the characteristics of her parents account for half of them, which are reflected in her, but her younger siblings are obviously polarized, either like their father, or completely like their mother.

Tu Xunhua and Tu Chengrong are twins, and their appearance is extremely similar to their father, which is simply a copy;

As the youngest child, Tu Zhiying, although she is still in the infant stage, she can't see who she looks more like, but the brilliance in her eyes is the closest to her mother.

According to Zhang's mother, this photo was taken when she was sixteen years old, when Zhang Ning's grandfather and grandmother needed to leave home for work reasons, and also took Tu Xunhua and Tu Chengrong away.

Originally, Zhang's mother and Zhang Ning's little aunt also had to leave together, but because Zhang's mother's grandmother, that is, Zhang Ning's grandmother, was still alive at that time, her weak body could not withstand it

After a long journey and needed to be taken care of, Zhang's mother, the eldest in the family, stayed behind and shouldered the responsibility of the family on her sixteen-year-old shoulders.

has to take care of the elderly with limited mobility, and also raise Tu Zhiying, who was born not long ago, Zhang's mother, who should have been the most beautiful in her life, bears the burden that she should not bear at that age.

Perhaps knowing that Zhang's mother alone could not take care of the whole family, Zhang Ning's grandparents specially contacted the family to help Zhang's mother, and promised to come back to pick up Zhang's mother after three years, and paid a certain amount of compensation.

And this family is Zhang's father's family.

Three years have passed in a flash, and Tu Zhiying, who could only cry in swaddling clothes, was able to run all over the ground, but Zhang Ning's grandparents seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news.

Even when Zhang Ning's grandmother died, they didn't show up.

Zhang's mother, who should have been the most anxious, looked very flat at that time, as if the disappearance of her parents was expected.

Zhang's father's family was kind-hearted, and after not being able to wait for Zhang Ning's grandparents, they did not stop helping Zhang's mother's family, but warmed up more closely.

In Zhang's father's words, it is nothing more than two pairs of chopsticks, and Zhang Ning's grandparents also like girls, so they simply regarded the second daughter as their goddaughter.

Life is so plain and happy, from then on, Zhang Ning's grandparents and two uncles seem to have disappeared into the sea of people, and Zhang's mother no longer mentions it.

It wasn't until Zhang's father and mother got married and had Zhang Ning that they turned out the old photos and recalled them again.

According to Zhang Ning's reasoning, his grandparents had to drag their family out of the ancestral house because of work, and they must have participated in some state secret project.

But even if it is a state secret project, after so much time, it is time to release people back, and there is no reason to ignore their daughters all the time.

Therefore, Zhang Ning believes that his grandparents are likely to have died, and his two uncles, who have never met, should also have encountered an accident and passed away.

Otherwise, why didn't you even come back to see your home after so long?

But the strange thing is that whenever he puts forward this speculation to his mother, Zhang's mother always shakes her head expressionlessly, and the answer is always the three words "I don't know", a vague attitude, not affirming, nor denying.

"If it weren't for the fact that my little aunt was still young at the time, I would have been able to ask something out of her mouth......"

Thinking about the thoughts in his heart, Zhang Ning rubbed the dog's head over and over again, his eyes drifted into the distance, and he began to unconsciously get worried.

At the moment, Zhang Ning didn't really want to ask any news about the mysterious grandparents from Tu Zhiying's mouth, but was worried about the safety of his little aunt.

It is said that the youngest daughter is like a mother, and when Tu Zhiying grows up, she is very similar to her mother in terms of appearance and temperament, and she seems to inherit her mother's advantages in terms of intelligence, and she has made great progress in her studies and has become a doctor of medicine.

But nothing can be perfect.

Although Zhang Ning's little aunt has only learned, she has not made any progress in love, and now she is almost thirty-five years old, but she has never found a sage to spend the rest of her life with.

However, Tu Zhiying was not bothered by this, because her life was filled with all kinds of academic research, and love seemed to be just a dispensable embellishment for her.

"If my little aunt is taken care of, then I guess my father and dad won't be so worried, I hope it's okay, I pick it up smoothly, and then go to the Siming Mountain refuge together......
