Chapter 529 The Brave Man Appears
The old woman talked too much, which undoubtedly aggravated her pain and hastened her life has come to an end.
Ran Ran looked at her quietly. She hoped that she could be happier in the last moments of her life.
"This is your daughter's room, isn't it?"
The old woman was lying weakly on the bed. When she heard Ranran's words, a small smile appeared on her tearful face.
This smile is beautiful.
It is countless times more beautiful than those dazzling gems.
“…The candles are here.” Anzi walked in with a bunch of candles.
In fact, he had been standing outside the door for a long time, but he didn't dare to come in and disturb them.
Noticing Ranran's gaze, he didn't say much. This was truly a very sad scene.
Ran Ran spoke softly, and asked him to help move a few chairs and place them neatly beside the bed.
She took some of the candles, lit them in silence, and placed them on the chairs one by one.
Anzi took the remaining part and lit them one by one according to Ranran's example.
The warm candlelight made the room much brighter.
The old woman was lying in the candlelight, and she looked very gentle at the moment.
"Will it feel more comfortable?" Ran Ran asked in a low voice.
"Much better, thank you..." The old woman's brows relaxed, and there was only peace on her old face. There was no more pain on her face.
“This room is not good.”
Ran Ran only said this, but the old woman understood what she meant.
The old lady's weathered eyes became unusually gentle as she thought of something. She smiled, "…This house existed before we turned into monsters."
"The houses around were very close together, so the lighting was poor. Anna was still very young at the time, so I asked her to choose her own room. She excitedly wanted this one. She... didn't care whether there was light in the room. She just liked the ivy across the street."
The old woman spoke a long speech in one breath, her tone full of happiness.
Ranran and Anzi seemed to really see a little girl jumping and skipping in the room, standing in front of the window, pointing at the ivy opposite and saying that she wanted this room.
"It's okay without light, as long as she is there... I really miss her so much..." The old woman sighed with contentment, and finally closed her eyes in the dim candlelight.
Anzi couldn't hold back any longer and tears started streaming down his face.
Ran Ran stared at the old woman's happy face in silence and clenched her hands.

"Master, Kuida sent a message saying that the king insect is dead." A servant in black knelt humbly on the ground. He stared at the marble floor in front of him, not daring to raise his head even a little.
He was scared.
Will this cruel master remain indifferent as usual, or will he fly into a rage and vent his emotions on the hapless man?
No matter how many scenarios he played out in his mind, he did not expect the young man to chuckle.
Although it was not obvious, he heard it.
The servant couldn't help but look up in surprise.
The young man closed the book in his hand and slowly took off the glasses on his nose. His pale hands looked extremely weak against the gold-rimmed frames. The sunlight poured in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows and projected onto his profile which seemed to be carefully carved by God.
Although he had sharp features, his long drooping eyelashes made him look frail.
He raised his eyes, and there seemed to be light in his dark pupils.
The light-colored lips opened and closed slowly.
"The Warriors Appear."*
After the death of the King Insect, the whole city fell into deathly silence.
The trial-taker who is still alive at this time is the only voice in this city.
"Brother Li, we have been searching for a long time. All the people in this city are indeed dead, and the bugs have disappeared. How long will it take to confirm it?"
The person who spoke was a thin boy who leaned lazily against the wall, looking like he didn't want to move.
The big man called Brother Li saw his look, frowned and asked another boy.
"Xiaozhe, how is the situation?"
The boy called Xiaozhe looked very gentle and wore a pair of thick glasses. He must have just been running for exercise, and he was panting while speaking. "Lei Zi, Hua Er and Jing Jing are right behind me... We ran around everywhere in this area, but there are no living residents and no insects."
As soon as these words came out, the thin boy immediately said, "Tsk, I told you there is no one alive except us, but you still don't believe it."
He looked at the big man with squinted eyes and his tone was very sarcastic.
The big man looked at him sullenly, and his lazy look calmed down a little.
At this time, two women and one man came around the corner. They should be the Lei Zi, Hua Er and Jing Jing mentioned by Xiaozhe. Now all six of them are here.
The big man was about to speak, but he didn't expect a man and a woman to come out from the corner.
He quickly went on alert and shouted in a low voice: "Didn't you say there were no survivors?!"
The thin boy's face changed and he remained silent.
Xiaozhe finally calmed down and said, "I didn't finish what I was saying just now."
"We didn't find any living residents, but we did find living trial participants."
The big man looked carefully and found that the girl among the man and woman who were walking towards him was the one who had reminded him not long ago. A look of joy immediately appeared on his brows.
That’s right, the man and woman were Anzi and Ranran who took care of the old woman’s funeral, and the group of six were the big man and the karaoke girl that Ranran had met before.
The big man and Ranran made eye contact, neither of them spoke. The big man looked excited, while Ranran smiled faintly.
Everyone looked puzzled, they all felt the great joy emanating from the big man.
A girl with neat short hair looked around at the two people and couldn't help but ask, "Do you... know each other?"
"see once."
"Thank you for saving my life!"
The big man and Ran Ran spoke at the same time.
Everyone was confused.
"It was just a brief encounter with you, but you saved our lives! I didn't have the chance to thank you last time, so I'd like to thank you sincerely this time!" The big man said and bowed without hesitation.
"You're welcome. I just helped you." Ranran still smiled politely, without any extra expression on his face.
"It may be just a small favor for you, but you did save the lives of the six of us. If you need anything in the future, I, Li Jianye, will definitely help you!"
The five people who were traveling with Li Jianye all understood his character. He was definitely not the kind of person who only talked but did not do anything, and who made big promises. Once he said something, it was as good as water spilled on it. He would definitely do what he said.
Therefore, the four words "never refuse" carry a lot of weight.
For a moment, the five people's eyes were fixed on Ranran, with a look of inquiry and surprise in them.
It’s not that Li Jianye had not shown respect for others in front of them before. On the contrary, since he was the oldest in the team, he had experienced the most things and made the most friends.
Li Jianye treated all those people with courtesy and respect.
The reason why they were surprised at this moment, and also what made Ran Ran so special, was...
She looked so small.
