After some communication, Chen Bufan roughly understood Li Hongtao's experience here, and also learned that he entered here half a month earlier than Liu Jia's brother.
So, Chen Bufan decided not to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.
Chen Bufan said to Li Hongtao seriously: "Brother Hongtao, you came here early, I want to ask you about someone..."
Li Hongtao is much older than him, so it doesn't feel awkward to just call him brother.
Li Hongtao nodded readily and said, "No problem. Tell me what this person looks like, how old he is, is he a man or a woman?"
Hearing this, Chen Bufan turned around and saw An Ning and several others staring at them.
Seeing this, Chen Bufan waved gently at Liu Jia, signaling her to come over quickly.
At this moment, Liu Jia inevitably felt a little uneasy, but her pace was not slow at all. She trotted to Chen Bufan's side, tilted her little head, and stared at him with her big watery eyes.
It looked just like a wounded deer, extremely adorable.
Chen Bufan looked down at Liu Jia and asked softly, "Little Jia, do you have a photo of your brother? Take it out and show it to this elder brother. Maybe he has met him before. He got here earlier than your brother."
After saying that, Chen Bufan pointed at Li Hongtao.
Li Hongtao opened his mouth wide and tried hard to force a smile, trying to make himself look friendly and amiable so as not to scare the delicate and lovely girl in front of him.
He was covered in blood, was tall and strong, and looked somewhat scary.
At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that Brother Chen was really charming, and he was surrounded by such beautiful women.
I don’t know where he got so many beautiful girls from, he’s so amazing!
In fact, as the end of the world continues to progress, surprising phenomena gradually emerge: the number of women with beautiful looks is increasing, while the number of women with ordinary or even ugly looks is becoming increasingly rare.
The reason for this is self-evident. If one does not have sufficient strength to support and guarantee it.
These women have probably already become food for others to fill their stomachs. After all, if they have no strength, they are just a burden. They are not good-looking either. They are not even vases, but at most pickle jars.
"Oh! Yes! I have some here!"
Liu Jia shouted excitedly, and his breathing began to become rapid.
I saw her hurriedly taking off the small backpack she had been carrying on her back, and quickly taking out another notebook from it.
Then, she carefully opened the notebook, and inside it was a wrinkled, slightly old photo.
She carefully handed the photo to Li Hongtao, which was very precious.
Li Hongtao stretched out his fingers and gently pinched the edge of the photo, carefully looking at the scene in the picture.
In the photo, Liu Lei affectionately hugged his sister Liu Jia's shoulders. The two stood side by side in a place full of flowers. They happily made the scissors hand gesture with their hands, and their faces were filled with extremely bright and happy smiles.
It has to be said that Liu Jia is indeed very beautiful, and as her elder brother, Liu Lei is naturally also handsome and can be described as an absolutely handsome young man.
Li Hongtao suddenly frowned and murmured to himself in confusion: "Huh? Why does this child look so familiar? But I'm sure I've never seen him in person..."
He couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, trying to search for clues about this person from the depths of his memory.
I haven't seen him in person, but he looks familiar! Then what did you see? Chen Bufan frowned slightly and looked around.
"I...I've seen him before. I think his name is Liu Lei?"
Everyone turned around and saw the only woman among the people who had partnered with Li Hongtao open her mouth and speak.
Hearing this, Liu Jia hurried forward, grabbed the woman's arm, and asked anxiously, "Yes! My brother is called Liu Lei! Have you really seen him?"
The woman nodded with sympathy and said slowly, "Yes, that's right. He was locked up in the same room with me. He was locked up that morning, but he was taken away in the afternoon.
At that time, the child was making a fuss and wanted to go out, constantly shouting that he wanted to find his sister.
Later, when those people came in to arrest other people, the child bit one of the guards recklessly and took the opportunity to escape.
It's a pity that I couldn't escape in the end. I was taken away by them and never came back since then." At the end, the woman's voice was filled with regret.
"elder brother…"
After hearing these words, Liu Jia's heart instantly sank.
She knew very well that if she was taken away by those people, the situation would be very bad. Thinking of this, Liu Jia couldn't help but feel a surge of despair in her heart.
Chen Bufan on the side was silently observing Liu Jia. The little girl's face had become extremely pale at this time, and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she was holding back and not letting them fall.
Chen Bufan raised his head subconsciously, and his eyes suddenly fell on Li Hongtao.
At this moment, the expression on Li Hongtao's face was extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a piece of shit.
Moreover, his eyes would always glance intentionally or unintentionally towards the open space in front of the KTV room.
Seeing this scene, Chen Bufan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and a bad premonition arose.
Because he knew that the open space was where the corpses of zombies transported out of the laboratory were placed.
Chen Bufan had an unsightly look on his face. He felt a little uncomfortable looking at Liu Jia's desperate face. He still remembered that when they first met, Liu Lei always protected his sister behind him no matter whether he was facing the mutated zombies or him. He was protecting his sister with all his heart. He was a very good brother.
What should I do now? Should I not tell Liu Jia and let her have some thoughts, or should I tell her the truth directly?
It's better to have an idea and wait until she grows up a little bit, so that she can have some psychological buffer. Otherwise, looking at her current expression, Chen Bufan is afraid that she will burst out directly.
"Jia Jia, go to Sister Fei'er first. We can't find her now. Maybe your brother isn't here."
Liu Jia still shed tears, nodded silently, turned slowly and walked over there. Her thin and slender back made people feel sad.
"Oh!" Li Hongtao sighed deeply.
"Brother Hongtao, please do me a favor and store her brother's body first. I will find you later."
"Um, Brother Bufan, have you thought of it?"
"Well, I could tell from your expression."
"Ah! The little girl won't see that, too?"
"I don't know. Just pretend that I haven't figured it out yet."
"Hey! I think he looks familiar after looking at the photo. I just remembered that I was the one who brought the child's body up from the laboratory... What a twist of fate... Don't worry, Brother Chen, I'll move him out and hide him in a moment."
Li Hongtao sighed again, his face looking sad.
