Watching the small hand clasped with hers, Ming Li nodded and waved, and in the next second, a chaise longue appeared in the room. After placing Xiao Zhu on the chaise longue and seeing the little one’s eyes still wide open, Ming Li paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yue Zhu, "Mom... Dad didn't abandon me on purpose back then... right?"
Hearing this, Ming Li frowned and pulled the System out of her spatial dimension. "What does he mean by that?"
The System instinctively swallowed and brought up the System display screen visible only to Ming Li. "Host, when the original host divorced her husband, the child was awarded to her husband. Later, when the apocalypse broke out, the man abandoned the child and ran away by himself..."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li frowned and said coldly, "Is he still alive?"
The System understood Ming Li's meaning almost instantly. It glanced at the System display screen and said, "He is alive, and has awakened fire-element abilities. He seems to have joined the Vermilion Bird Base, one of the Four Great Bases."
Yue Zhu looked at the little red pig that suddenly appeared in the air, stunned. He asked in his tender little voice, "Mom, what is this?"
Hearing the tender voice, the System instinctively sensed something was wrong.
As expected, in the next second, it was thrown into the little brat's arms by Ming Li. Before the System could complain, it heard Ming Li's voice calmly say, "This is Mom's companion. I'll let it keep you company now."
The System felt instantly comforted, staying obediently in Yue Zhu's arms, not crying or making a fuss.
Host's companion! The Host considers me a companion!
So happy!

Yue Zhu stroked the little red pig in his arms, a long-lost smile appearing on his face, "Mom's companion, I will protect it well!"
Ming Li nodded, "Alright, get some good rest."
"Mhm."
After Xiao Zhu closed his eyes, Ming Li raised her hand and set up a barrier around him. Then, her gaze fell upon Ning Chu and Zhou Xia.
Zhou Xia met Ming Li's gaze and asked, "Sister, is he really your son?"
Ming Li nodded. "How did you two meet him?"
"That's a long story, so I'll make it short," Zhou Xia cleared her throat and said, "At that time, for some reason, Xiao Chu Zi and I were being chased by a group of zombies. As we ran, we saw a house in front of us, so we hid inside, and then we met him."
Hearing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow. "Thanks." By chance, she had helped her find her mission target.
"Sister, how did you suddenly appear and save us from this dire situation?"
Ming Li, "The spatial rings you wear transmit information to me when you are in danger."
"Wow!" Zhou Xia stared at the redwood ring on her finger with shining eyes, "Is it that high-tech?"
Ning Chu glanced at the ring on his hand, hesitated for a moment, then looked up, his gaze fixed directly on Ming Li, "Sister, why are you being so good to us?"
Ming Li, "Why so many questions?" Do I have to tell you that you are my mission targets?
Thinking of something, Ming Li took out a pen from her spatial dimension, glanced at the strange patterns on the pen shaft, and said in a faint voice, "Stick your head out."
Ning Chu looked at the strange-looking pen in Ming Li's hand and, without understanding why, extended his head...
