437: Oh no, you’ve become my sister-in-law!

Hearing the sounds, Cheng Xiao, Xiao Jiu, and the others immediately stroked Lao Liu's back, attempting to bring him back to consciousness.

Pan Han also withdrew his gaze and hurried over to Lao Liu's side.

"Lao Liu!"

"Sixth Brother!"

After shouting, Lao Liu slowly opened his eyes; his vision gradually cleared, and he saw Cheng Xiao and Xiao Jiu.

"Holy shit!" In the next second, Lao Liu cursed angrily.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao laughed; she knew that Sixth Brother had come back to life.

"Sixth Brother, I'll help you up." Cheng Xiao turned him over and let him lean against her.

"Seventh Sister! I'm alive!"

"Yes! That's right, Sixth Brother."

"Commander, did a bald man come by just now?"

"Yes, did you see him?"

"Yes, he just entered my mind."

Hearing this, everyone understood that Number 5 Baldy hadn't been lying.

"Sixth Brother, how do you feel?" Xiao Jiu, who had been worried all along, had held back, but now she couldn't help but ask while crying.

Reminded, Lao Liu began to touch his body and move around a few times; the pain was gradually disappearing.

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao began trying to check Lao Liu's internal condition.

After some effort, everyone finally relaxed.

Lao Liu was as good as new!

The internal injuries had perfectly healed, and the internal blood loss had been cleaned up.

"I just feel a bit dizzy in my head. My body is fine." Lao Liu took a deep breath and said to everyone.

In the next second, Pan Han stuffed a cigarette into his mouth: "A smoke will make you feel better."

"Haha! The Commander really understands me!" Lao Liu didn't stand on ceremony either; he slowly stood up and happily started smoking.

Everyone was in high spirits, and several special forces soldiers excitedly fired their guns into the sky.

"Sixth Brother is awesome!"

"Long live the Dawn Army!"

"Long live the special forces squad!"

...

Pan Han stood with his hands on his hips, cigarette in his mouth, looking at everyone happily.

He climbed onto a vehicle and said loudly to everyone: "Brothers! Follow me to take over Shanlan State!"

"Huh?"

"???"

Everyone, including Cheng Xiao, was dumbfounded!

What did he mean by "take over"?

Cheng Xiao had only heard that Number 5 had reached an agreement with Pan Han, but she hadn't expected it to be this fast!

"From now on, the entire Shanlan State belongs to our Dawn Base!" Pan Han announced loudly.

Lao Liu immediately ran to Pan Han's feet: "Commander, are you serious?"

"We'll go take over the remaining four main cities one by one. You'll know if it's true once we get there!"

"Great, at least all those brothers didn't die for nothing." Lao Liu punched the hood of the car, and the stuffiness that had been pressing on his chest was finally released.

"Let's go, brothers, follow the Commander to take over Shanlan State!"

Lao Liu let out a thunderous roar; this felt so good!

The next moment, everyone got into their vehicles and headed straight for the next main city.

There were only five combat vehicles left.

Pan Han, Cheng Xiao, Lao Liu, and Xiao Jiu were in one vehicle.

Lao Liu was the driver, he arranged for Xiao Jiu to sit in the passenger seat, and Pan Han and Cheng Xiao sat in the back.

Lao Liu had a cigarette in his mouth, steering with one hand, singing one moment and looking at Xiao Jiu the next.

The two lightbulbs in the back were damn bright!

"Cheng Xiao, how about we switch cars?" Pan Han looked at the two in front fiercely.

"Sounds good to me! I feel like I'm about to lose Sixth Brother." Cheng Xiao pursed her lips and giggled.

Hearing the two leaders joking about her, Xiao Jiu's face turned red instantly.

But the look she gave Lao Liu was incredibly tender.

In the apocalypse, who can say for sure about relationships?

With death always around the corner, who wouldn't cherish the person in front of them?

"Commander, Seventh Sister, what are you two whispering about me back there? I can hear you clearly!" Lao Liu said with a grin, seeming to enjoy the scene.

"Lao Liu, aren't you two moving a bit too fast? I can already smell it." Pan Han smiled and kicked Lao Liu's seat.

"By the way, Sixth Brother! The person in the photo is your younger sister, but why have you never mentioned her?"

Cheng Xiao suddenly remembered the photo; they had known each other for so many years, and she had never heard of or seen her.

"What's wrong with you?" Pan Han made a hand-chop gesture that almost hit Cheng Xiao's cheek.

But it was gently caught by two of Cheng Xiao's fingers, and she smiled contemptuously: "Commander, you're still not quite there yet."

"Seventh Sister! If it weren't for today's events, I definitely wouldn't have talked about it. But since I've come back to life, there's nothing I can't talk about."

Lao Liu flicked away his cigarette butt, lit another one, and opened up.

"I was ten years old that year, and my sister was seven."

"That day, I went to pick her up from school..."

Ten minutes later, Lao Liu finished telling the story of himself and his sister.

This tough guy of the apocalypse, a man with a face full of stubble, was teary-eyed, his eyes red.

When Cheng Xiao heard the emotional parts, she burst into tears: "Sixth Brother, it's not your fault, you were only ten years old at the time!"

When Xiao Jiu heard about the sister being crushed to death by a prefabricated slab, her whole body trembled, thinking of the explosion just now.

It was also a large piece of wall that flew straight over, almost exactly the same as the situation back then!

"Sixth Brother, you..." Xiao Jiu wiped away her tears and gently stroked Lao Liu's arm.

"Yes. Seeing that wall coming, it reminded me of the prefabricated slab that crushed my sister back then."

"Lao Liu, what were you thinking?"

"Heh! Commander, I just thought, this time I absolutely cannot dodge again!"

"Sixth Brother, but you could have died!" Xiao Jiu said.

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiu, I've practiced this move in my dreams for twenty years, and I definitely won't miss! Even if I die, I won't!" Lao Liu looked at Xiao Jiu with burning eyes.

A sense of warmth and confidence was transmitted to Xiao Jiu through his gaze, directly making her head spin.

"Xiao Jiu, in that moment, Sixth Brother treated you like his own sister!" Cheng Xiao sighed.

"Sixth Brother!" Xiao Jiu was teary-eyed, while Lao Liu looked proud!

Outside the car window, the sun began to set, and a rare sunset shone on Lao Liu's face.

His stubble, his rough, short face, a pair of thick eyebrows, and eyes that were bright and alert.

Xiao Jiu's eyes were full of apology, admiration, and affection, all blurred together; now, she only had eyes for Lao Liu.

Cheng Xiao looked at her Sixth Brother from behind, crying like an idiot.

Pan Han held his cigarette, thinking of the sunset he used to fear the most, but now it had become the most enjoyable time.

He looked at Lao Liu in the front seat; the self-reproach from when he was ten had turned into a bullet, and twenty years later, it hit the center of his brow.

And just a moment ago, he had welcomed his eleventh birthday.

A gentle girl's voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears: "Brother, you did it. It wasn't your fault back then, you should let me go now!"

"Lao Liu!" Pan Han held back his sobs and called out.

"Commander!" Lao Liu's body moved slightly.

"It's so good to know you!"

"Ugh, so cheesy!" Lao Liu felt like he was being electrocuted and couldn't help but shiver.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed along.

"Sixth Brother! I don't want to be your sister!"

Suddenly, Xiao Jiu wiped away her tears and said with burning eyes.

Nine years into the apocalypse, no one cared about saving face anymore; if you liked someone, you had to express it bravely.

"Huh?" Lao Liu, Cheng Xiao, and Pan Han were all shocked.

"Then what do you want?" Cheng Xiao leaned over the headrest and tapped the top of Xiao Jiu's head.

"I want to offer myself to him!" Xiao Jiu said ardently and bravely, her little face turning red.

"Pfft!" Lao Liu jerked the steering wheel, almost driving into a ditch.

"Do you agree?" Xiao Jiu ignored Pan Han and Cheng Xiao's shocked expressions and looked at Lao Liu.

"This... I'm not prepared yet." Lao Liu suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Damn it, Lao Liu, stop putting on airs. The girl has already confessed to you." Pan Han kicked the seat, shaking Lao Liu back and forth.

"Oh no! She's become a sister-in-law!" Cheng Xiao finally snapped back to reality and blurted out.
