418: Chapter 422 Infiltrating the Family

They naturally discarded their clothes.

Now, the entire world was hunting them down.

Namibia had many wilderness regions.

They planned to stay in a place where no one could find them.

Thus, they fled to the Kalahari Desert in Namibia.

It was a desert savanna with sparse trees.

They planned to build an underground fortress there.

To live as safely as possible.

If they could wait until Timi reached adulthood,

that would be the best outcome they could hope for.

Although Noah was severely injured,

he could still construct the underground fortress.

For him, this was no problem.

After they finished building their underground home,

they were about to enter when they saw someone approaching.

A chill ran through them all.

A normal person should not be here right now.

Noah had previously scanned the area.

But someone had still come.

Once they saw the person clearly,

they realized it was just a young boy.

He was covered in wounds.

He walked very slowly.

There were bloodstains in many places on his body.

The wounds looked horrific.

The boy walked up to them and then collapsed.

They looked at him.

The boy was not wearing the uniform of the Earth Supernatural Alliance.

He didn't look like a supernatural being either.

He was just a very ordinary person.

"Mom, what should we do with this person?"

Timi asked.

Li Xue did not answer.

For some reason, her maternal instincts were completely triggered.

She felt like she knew this boy,

but she couldn't remember how.

She looked at Shani and said,

"Shani, I want to take care of this child."

Shani hadn't seen such a determined look on his wife's face in a long time.

"But..."

"Don't worry. If he really is an enemy, you can kill him at any time. Check if he has any hidden items or devices on him."

Shani listened to Li Xue.

His tone softened slightly.

The young man looked like an African.

He seemed to have suffered cruel torture.

Subsequently,

the five of them entered their newly built underground rooms.

There were four rooms there.

One of the rooms was assigned to Lu Chen.

Li Xue applied some herbs to his body.

They were the owners of the world's largest pharmaceutical company.

Everyone from farmers to large manufacturing companies were their clients.

But now, they didn't have enough medicine to treat themselves.

Afterward, they left the room and went outside.

Timi looked at him for a while longer,

then left as well.

Outside,

Noah was talking to Shani.

"The masks will be ready in 7 days. At that time, we will leave this jungle and start a new life. This is the last thing he will do for us; after that, the debt of gratitude will be settled."

Shani sighed.

"Alright, Father. Where do you think we should go?"

"China is already under strict surveillance by those people. Let's go to Japan; it's close to China and has many mixed-race people. We can live in seclusion there."

"Okay."

Lu Chen heard what they said.

Now he was thinking of a way to convince them to take him with them.

He could use Mental Energy to control them,

but he wouldn't do that.

"There are still seven days to consider."

At noon,

Li Xue came to Lu Chen's room to check on his condition.

At this time, Lu Chen was sitting on the bed.

His wounds had healed, but his face looked somewhat pale.

Li Xue stood before him and asked,

"Do you speak English?"

Lu Chen glanced at Li Xue.

A hint of fear showed in his eyes.

"Yes, ma'am."

He spoke indistinctly.

His acting was superb.

Li Xue immediately smiled upon hearing this.

"Good. Tell me everything about yourself. Who are you? Where are you from? What happened to you? Why were you so badly injured?"

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment,

then seemed to make a decision.

"Given my previous condition, I thought I wouldn't survive. But I'm still alive, which proves you are all good people."

"So, Ma'am, I won't tell you about my past, so as not to make you experience the darkness I once did."

"Ma'am, please forgive me. You saved me, yet I cannot even answer your questions."

Li Xue's gaze suddenly became even gentler.

What exactly had this child been through?

She really wanted to know.

She didn't know why,

but she felt a maternal pity for this boy.

Then, Lu Chen tried to get out of bed.

"Ma'am, are you letting me leave? I don't want to be a burden to you."

His voice trembled.

Li Xue said,

"Just sit right here."

Her tone was an absolute command.

Just as Lu Chen had intended,

he didn't want to leave either.

However, his eyes looked at Li Xue in terror.

But Li Xue smiled gently.

"Child, tell me everything. It will be alright."

Lu Chen was silent for a while

before he began to speak.

"I grew up in an orphanage. I don't know who my parents are. I heard they abandoned me there when I was very young."

When he said those words,

Li Xue felt as if her heart was being torn apart by a knife.

This boy's experience was very similar to what their son had gone through back then.

But she did not interrupt.

Lu Chen continued,

"At fifteen, I left the orphanage, wanting to earn money to support myself. I went to find a job, but I never expected it would be the start of a lifelong nightmare."
