Millennium: I Love Demon King

On the 19th day of the zombie siege, with the efforts of the base, the number of zombies outside the walls had decreased by more than half. Gu Cheng noticed that these recent zombies seemed to have a tendency to retreat. It seemed like these living dead whose minds were filled with rotten beans weren't all idiots, and also had a little sense of danger.

It had already been a few days since Lin Xin had shot a zombie on the wall. At first, Liu Shi and the others were a little confused, but before this, she was always busy killing zombies and her hands were itchy. Afterwards, there was still one time when the scarf around Lin Xin's neck was blown away by the wind and was full of scars left behind by someone.

Lin Xin's skin was thin, and her face immediately flushed red. She pinched Gu Cheng, who had caused this, and bit her ear, "It's so hard for me to have a child, how can I not work hard?"

As she spoke, she glanced at her belly, "Only a tired cow, I've never heard of a plowed field."

The flirting and scolding of the two once again fell into the eyes of Yuan Yingying, who was nearby, as she let out a sigh. He didn't know whether it was in "The White Horse Howls the West Wind" or in "The Crescent Blade" that Gu Long had written, "The girl you love deeply yet you love deeply, what else can you do …" He was young and didn't know how to feel. Now, he finally understood how sad and helpless the person who said those words was.

"Just then, Liu Shi's aide brought a telegram over." Chief, the latest news from Tianjin, Lin Wenhua launched a coup and killed all the people stationed in the central government. He also issued an ultimatum to us, if we don't surrender, tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, we will blast the base's wall with artillery shells and release the zombies into the city. "

"What?!" Liu Shi was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Yuan Huiying and quickly snatched the telegram from the aide-de-camp's hands. He read every line and every word, then raised his head, his eyes filled with rage, and almost tore the telegram apart. Luckily, Yuehui moved quickly and saved the telegram from his hand. He also looked down at it.

"That bastard Lin Wenhua, he ate the heart of a leopard! He's taking advantage of the fire to rob us!"

Yuan Huiying kept silent until Liu Shi was done with his tantrum, "We need to gather and discuss this matter, I think the other families will have received this telegram. Let's go to the central chamber to have a look."

Lin Xin glanced worriedly at Gu Cheng and shook her head. The sky was falling and there was a tall man supporting it. Just let these headquarter leaders worry about it. They only need to worry about themselves. It was no longer safe on the city wall. He told Yan Binghui and led Lin Xin back by the hand.

Afraid that there would be chaos later on, Gu Cheng brought Lin Xin to the base's material exchange office and traded her crystal cores for some rice noodles. Although the Liu and Sun Family still had some things on hand, he would only be at ease if he made more preparations. Just as they finished changing their things and were about to leave, Lin Xin noticed a group of people surrounding them, shouting and yelling. Who knew what they were doing. She had no intention of meddling in his affairs. Suddenly, a pitch-black child popped out of the crowd and nearly head-butted her in the stomach. Fortunately, Gu Cheng's sharp eyes had blocked it.

"Little thing, let's see where you can run to. Tell me, how many things have you stolen from my house? "How come I didn't see you stealing from someone else? Every day, you keep an eye on our steamed bun shop and steal from it. See if I don't beat you to death today!" A man caught up with her from behind, grabbed the child by the collar and hit her with a rolling pin.

The child was only five or six years old, so he didn't care much about being slapped in the air. His dirty black hands were tightly holding the steaming hot mixed bread, and he didn't mind the heat. He continued to gulp it down. Lin Xin couldn't see her face, she could only see a pair of wild beast like eyes beneath the child's messy and tangled long hair.

There were cheers all around, but no one shouted to stop. That was just a child. Lin Xin couldn't bear it any longer and was about to speak, but she didn't expect Gu Cheng to be faster than her by a step and grab the steamed bun shop owner's rolling pin.

"A single crystal core is enough to buy the steamed buns she steals, right?" As he said this, he threw a crystal core into the man's hand. A crystal nucleus of the third level was enough to exchange for ten catties of flour, no matter how many steamed buns it was. That person was not stupid and hurriedly took the crystal core and hid it in his pocket before running away.

Gu Cheng looked around at the child's neck again, feeling rather perplexed. Why was he here at this time? Where was his mother?

Lin Xin felt that it was a bit strange that Gu Cheng, who had never meddled with other people's business, had unexpectedly come to her rescue for the first time today. She couldn't help but glance at him a few times. When she looked at the child again, she had already finished the steamed bun in her hand, her eyeballs rolled, and stared blankly at the steamed bun shop she had stolen earlier, she did not even remember to fight, but just ran over and grabbed another one, and started eating while standing there, angering the family, but unfortunately, the steamed bun had been caught by her black claw and they could not sell after snatching it back. Thinking of the crystal core from earlier, he did not suffer a loss, so he endured and did not beat up that wild child again.

"This little mute is really pitiful. Without Sun Yang to protect him, he would be beaten up like this everyday. A child who's only five or six years old really has a tough life." An old man at the side sighed and shook his head before walking away.

Sun Yang? Lin Xin's memory had always been good. Wasn't she the young man who insisted on returning to the base after being injured by a zombie? So this child was the little mute he picked up.

While she was distracted, Gu Cheng had already carried the child by the waist and carried her back. Strangely, the child that had been like a small beast was being carried by Gu Cheng in such an uncomfortable manner. He was so obedient that he didn't even make a sound, appearing as quiet as he could get. Lin Xin suddenly remembered that her description wasn't quite right. That child was originally a mute. For a moment, she couldn't think of any words to describe the strange scene in front of her. Then, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, reminding her of the scene she saw when she went home from the animal kingdom.

Lin Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter, provoking Gu Cheng to turn back and glance at her. Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, how could she not understand that she was once again silently scheming herself in her heart?

However, this wasn't the place to explain. This dirty brat was simply too stinky. It was unknown how long it had been since he last took a bath. As soon as the two of them returned home, the Liu and Sun families had noticed the person Gu Cheng had brought back. He Meiwei had gone to boil some hot water before Gu Cheng could even open his mouth, fearing that the child might have fleas on him. Gu Cheng had the Liu and Sun families' children brought back upstairs.

The child, who had not resisted all this while, struggled desperately when he saw that Gu Cheng was about to pour hot water. He was fiercely glared at by Gu Cheng, threatening him to tie him up and leave him without food if he moved even a muscle. The child, who had been pressed to a dead end, immediately quietened down. At this moment, Grandma Liu took out a piece of Lil 'Keke's clothes. With her sharp eyes, she saw that this child should be pretty old, and even allowed him to take a look at a larger piece of clothes. She didn't expect him to be able to wear something like this, and when she took a look at the child's body, he was already a little hungry.

Lin Xin held a pair of scissors and helped cut his hair. The entire time, the child stared at her with eyes full of anger, as if he was a little hedgehog standing upright. She rubbed his hairy head in amusement. It was funny to make such an expression on such a young child.

At this time, the grandma of the Sun family also came over. She looked at Lin Xin's face and then at the child. She suspiciously asked, "Why does this child look like Lin Xin?"

Hearing this, everyone looked and saw that it was true. His eyes and nose seemed to have been carved out from the same mold. Only his mouth didn't seem to be the same. Lin Xin's face was a bit rounder and his nose was thinner.

"He is Lin Xin's half-brother. His name is Lou Xiao." Gu Cheng calmly said as he tossed a bomb into the courtyard.
