Chapter 105: I’m Not the Holy Mother in the Apocalypse 11
Mi Lu was amused by the boss’s scholarly way of speaking and let out a chuckle, which drew a puzzled glance from the bookish boss. Caught laughing, Mi Lu coughed awkwardly and forced a smile, saying, "Boss, do you have a particular fondness for ancient culture? Your speech carries an ancient charm."
The boss didn’t get angry; instead, he smiled gently at Mi Lu and said, "Indeed, all my friends say I’m someone born in the wrong era!"
After replying to Mi Lu, the boss looked at Lin Shuangshuang and continued, "Young lady, you must have noticed by now that my brother and I are trapped here. The food in this house is nearly gone, although the water supply is still adequate. But humans can’t survive on water alone. The bugs outside might seem weak to you, but they’re quite dangerous to us. Our speed is such that we can’t even hit them."
Saying this, the boss could not help but let out a bitter smile. "Frankly, it’s a bit of self-inflicted trouble. I used to be very proud of the exquisite and rare plants and trees I grew around my shop. Now, because of that, there are countless bugs at the entrance, making it impossible for my brother and me to leave."
"You want me to take you and your brother away from here?" Lin Shuangshuang understood his intention before the boss could finish speaking. It’s human nature to seek the protection of the strong when one feels weak.
The boss smiled awkwardly, clearly unaccustomed to asking others for help. He knew that in such chaotic times, taking along two burdens was not easy, so this scholarly boss added another sentence.
"I know such a request might be a bit too much. I’m hoping you’ll agree, but if you are unwilling, I only ask that you help find some food for my brother and me. I will still give you these knives."
Lin Shuangshuang always remained silent, deep in thought. She was somewhat undecided. Given the chaotic world, forming her own team was necessary. Lin Shuangshuang was determined never to join someone else’s team and be restricted by them in this life.
