Epilogue of Chapter 313
Zhao Shiduan is getting married; the bride is Fang Zhuzhu.
The day before the wedding, Zhao Lexi followed Gao Jue around like a little tail all day, helping him with his tasks, but she didn't say a word.
Gao Jue was busy setting up the wedding venue and didn't ask any questions.
After the venue was basically set up, Gao Jue took the little girl to a quiet place, handed her a glass of juice, and said, "I agree to this wedding."
Zhao Lexi's eyes lit up.
Gao Jue continued, "Fang Zhuzhu's love is indeed not as deep as your second brother's. As for Shi Duan, well, it's true that he can still love so purely now, which is truly enviable. But he has the means to do so. His eldest brother is a member of the Alliance, his third brother is the leader of the largest mercenary group in the Beicang Base, and his little sister is the only level eight evolved human under the New Order. Who could refuse his love!"
Zhao Lexi listened attentively, feeling that what was said was both right and wrong.
"Besides your second brother's own qualities, he's handsome, devoted, and a level seven evolved human. Even without the qualities I mentioned before, he's still a highly sought-after marriage partner in the New Order. So you don't need to worry about who he marries; he's worthy of any girl's love. Moreover, Fang Zhuzhu is a very intelligent girl. Such people are more rational and know how to cherish what they have. One of them marries the woman he loves, and the other marries the man she admires. They'll live happily ever after."
Zhao Lexi understood a little. It wasn't that her second sister-in-law didn't love her, but that she didn't love her enough. However, as the person her second brother loved, her willingness to marry him already made her second brother happy. Nothing else mattered.
"But what if one day, Second Brother stops loving me?"
"This is precisely why your eldest brother and I approve of Fang Zhuzhu. If one day your second brother changes his mind, after all, true feelings can change in an instant, and a marriage maintained solely by love is very risky. She won't let herself be wronged, she will solve problems rationally, fight for her own maximum benefit, and in the end, things won't turn out too ugly."
Zhao Lexi paused for a moment, then suddenly asked worriedly, "What if my older brother and sister-in-law also...?"
"Don't worry, they won't."
Li Hong has no family background or connections; her only asset is her status as a naturally evolved human with a spatial ability. While spatial abilities aren't particularly rare, she might seem unworthy of Zhao Shiyun, a rising political star. However, she has Zhao Lexi's complete dependence on her. As Zhao Lexi's elder sister-in-law, Li Hong genuinely loves and cares for her, which is crucial to her securing her position as Mrs. Zhao.
Zhao Shiyun is completely different from Zhao Shiduan. He has no yearning for love. In his view, love is just a kind of emotion produced by an excess of hormones in the body. This emotion is not enough to influence any of his decisions. His weakness is his younger siblings with whom he spends every day, so choosing Li Hong is the best solution.
Li Hong has a stable personality. What she pursues is a stable life and the health of her family. Her current life is exactly what she desires. She has three outstanding younger siblings, especially Zhao Lexi, who is very attached to her and is like a daughter to her. Whether she has children or not is not important to her. Moreover, she already has feelings for Zhao Shiyun and has no desire to change the status quo. Therefore, their marriage is very stable.
"What about Third Brother? Does he have someone he likes?"
“He was close to his fellow disciples at Jingshan Temple and only cared about how to improve his strength.”
"What have Su Su and Xu Jiao been up to lately? Why haven't they come to see me?"
Because humans have gained an absolute advantage in the war against zombies, missions are no longer as dangerous as before. Jin Susu, Xu Jiao, and others have officially joined the Gemini Mercenary Group.
"The base has new rules. Land cleared out can be bought and sold in an individual's name, and the clearing party has the right of first refusal. They recently wanted to buy a piece of land for construction. Your identity is sensitive; as a family member of an alliance member, you are not allowed to participate in the sale, so they didn't consult you. But I guess once they've chosen the land and completed the formalities, they'll come to you to join them."
"Hmm!" Zhao Lexi was very excited. It sounded like a real-life pre-apocalyptic mini-game, which should be very interesting. "Is Brother Wei's father-in-law working under Big Brother? He hasn't come around since Little Hammer was born."
"If he still can't figure it out, he won't dare to come. Firstly, Aunt Meng has also joined the Twin Mercenaries. His brother has wronged her. He tried to get back together with Aunt Meng many times, but he was either beaten or scolded. His reputation is almost ruined. Secondly, his elder brother has given him a clear answer: he can go back to his daughter if he wants, but if he upsets her, he will be demoted one level. One level once, two times and he'll be downgraded! How can he dare to take the risk?"
"Oh, right, and my second senior brother, I haven't seen him in a long time either."
“Your older brother arranged a job for him in urban planning, which means he won’t have to contact the outside world and aligns with his ideals. You need to further restrict his access to the city every six months, and then you’ll be able to see him again.”
The control of a Level 8 evolved human over a Level 6 evolved human is absolute. After several experiments, Zhao Lexi completely imprisoned the energy in Zhu Jinxian's body. Now, under the new system of human evolution, he is weak and unable to take care of himself. He can't even beat a child. He has chosen to stay at home, saving everyone a lot of trouble.
"Yes. And Brother Gao, should we tell Zhiguang about Zhiguang's mother?"
Yin Ling had seen her son a few times from afar and was relieved to see that he was being well taken care of, but she still refused to let him see her current half-human, half-beast appearance. Yin Zhiguang missed his mother very much. Sometimes when Li Hong went to cover the two little boys with blankets at night, she would see Yin Zhiguang hiding under the covers and secretly crying.
"As one of the few survivors of the experiment who survived, Yin Ling is actually at risk. Her appearance is completely different from that of a normal person, and it is unknown whether her psychology will change. Only Yin Zhiguang can put her at ease, so Zhiguang cannot distance himself from her. He should accept his mother's physical changes as soon as possible in order to keep Yin Ling calm. Your brother and I have discussed this matter and are preparing to apply for a piece of land in Zhiguang's name for Yin Ling to settle down in, as a place for her and her son to meet, so as not to frighten others."
It also facilitates monitoring and control.
The world is full of interesting things. Because of Yin Zhiguang's restraint, Zhao Lexi did not kill him back then, and Zhao Shiyun did not eliminate him completely afterward. Also because of her son, Yin Ling, who was full of hatred, was willing to give up her revenge against humanity and live a peaceful life in seclusion.
"Yes! That's great! Zhiguang will definitely be happy!"
"Lele, come and try on the clothes."
In the distance, Li Hong, dressed in a red dress, waved to Zhao Lexi with a beaming smile.
"okay."
Relieved of her psychological burden, Zhao Lexi ran away happily.
Gao Jue watched her departing figure with a faint, satisfied smile on his face.
You just need to be happy and be yourself.
I will always follow you, and that will never change.
Because in this human world filled with corrupt thoughts, you are my only salvation.
