chapter 41: survival

6am. After taking out his cell phone for a WeChat sweep, Dong Xie crossed the last highway toll station before entering K City. The fact that he was about to reenter K City also made Dong Xie feel a lot more at ease. After all, this city was his hometown, and after entering this city, he would be closer to his apartment. He took a deep breath and stepped on the gas again. "Brother, there's no need to be too nervous, I'm always keeping an eye on the rearview mirror for you. As soon as something goes wrong, I'll notify you right away." Hearing Dong Ning say that, Dong Xie also let out a sigh of relief. By this time, the east had already begun to show the color of a fish's belly. Looking at the rising sun that was gradually rising at the end of the horizon, this warm sunlight gave Dong Xie's heart a strong comfort, and the haze from all the horrible experiences before had dissipated a lot. "I believe we can definitely go back, Ah Ning …… can definitely!" The car drove into K City, and as it continued to advance on the highway, along with the rising sun, the pedestrians and vehicles around them all began to increase a lot. This made Dong Xie and Dong Ning's siblings a lot bolder as well. "It seems unlikely that the evil spirit will make a move." Dong Ning looked at the vehicles shuttling around and said, "If it really wants to kill us, it could have killed us right outside of K City." Dong Evil nodded. However, as long as he didn't enter the apartment, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. However, once there were more vehicles around, he didn't dare to step on the gas. After experiencing the car accident back then, he was well aware of the devastating consequences of traffic accidents. He had never violated the traffic rules since he got his driver's license and hadn't deducted a single point. At this time, at an intersection, Dong Xie stopped at a red light. Luckily, this red light wasn't too long, showing that it would turn green in only 15 seconds. Dong Xie glanced at his phone's navigation, and his current location was about 12 kilometers from the apartment, the closest route. "12 kilometers ……" Dong Xie muttered in his mouth, this distance, not too close, not too far. Along the way, there could be a change of heart at any time. Hopefully, no changes would occur. And just at this time, the cell phone suddenly rang! Dong Xie thought it was Mo Yuan calling, but at a closer look, it was his uncle! This uncle is Dong Xie's biological mother's brother, and Ah Ning has no blood relationship. He wanted to hang up, but thought that if his uncle was calling at this time, he might have an urgent matter, so he picked up. "Hey, A Xie," his uncle's voice came from the phone, "Where are you now? I called your house and you didn't answer!" Dong Xie froze. He hadn't told his other relatives when he moved to the apartment, after all, there was no way he could tell them where he had moved to. His uncle had called his home number, but he no longer lived there. "I …… I'm outside now. Uncle, what's up?" "Grandma, she hasn't been doing too well lately, and the doctor said that maybe it's just for a few days." Dong Qi froze. So much so that he didn't react when the signal light turned green at that moment and the car behind him started honking. "Okay …… I know! Uncle, I'm in a hurry, I'll call you back later!" He hung up the phone and stepped on the gas. The only people who knew about Ah Ning's birth were his aunt, grandparents and Ah Ning's aunt. And Dong Xie's birth mother's maternal family were all completely unaware of this matter. After all, this matter was too humiliating, and his grandfather's character was extremely old-fashioned, saying that it should never be divulged. When Dong Xie's birth mother died, he was still too young. About mother's things, are from the grandmother, uncle mouth mentioned. His mother was his grandmother's youngest child, so she loved Dong Xie extraordinarily. A few years ago, Grandmother had begun to fall into a state of Alzheimer's disease, her physical functions declining, and she had been hospitalized. Last year there was a period of time when she was in a very poor state, and although she was resuscitated, her state was getting worse day by day. Therefore, the grandmother may pass away, Dong Xie has also long been psychologically prepared. "Grandmother she ……" Dong Xie stepped on the gas again, and said to Dong Ning in a rather sorrowful tone, "No, no matter what, I have to go see Grandmother one last time!" When Dong Ning heard this, her face also changed. She didn't have much contact with her brother's own grandmother because of her special status, but she also knew that her brother and grandmother had a very deep relationship. Her own real grandparents had died before she was born, while her grandparents, after the car accident accident back then, had grown increasingly cold towards her. Naturally, she didn't know the real reason, and she had always assumed that the reason her grandparents disliked her was because she had personally chosen the route for that driving trip back then, when in reality, Dong Xie had wished to travel to another place at the time. She was completely unaware that the real reason was because she had been found out not to be of the Dong family's bloodline at all. For the rest of the way, Dong Xie's mood was complicated, on the one hand, she was worried about that evil spirit coming after her, and on the other hand, she was worried about her grandmother's health. Time passed quickly …… "Almost there!" Crossing a road in front of him, the neighborhood where the apartment was located came into view! Dong Xie immediately stepped on the gas and entered the neighborhood. After parking his car, Dong Xie immediately pulled Ah Ning out of the car, and without even bothering to lock it, he dashed in the direction of the apartment! At the last moment before entering the apartment, there can't be the slightest bit of carelessness! At this moment, many residents had gathered in front of the revolving door in front of the apartment. Some of them were even holding breakfast in their hands and eating it, while others couldn't even wash up before coming down early. After all, staying inside the apartment was absolutely safe, and being able to watch the fun and be a crowd of eaters in absolute safety was naturally something that everyone tended to rush towards. "Ah …… is here!" The residents shouted out, and then they saw that the brother and sister duo appeared at the entrance of the alleyway! Running towards the apartment! Mo Yuan nervously watched the scene and shouted, "Quick, run!" The surrounding residents were whispering. "This time, the old tenants died out and it's actually two new tenants who survived?" "It's really a super dark horse, I would have thought that they would all die." "Don't speak too soon, maybe the evil spirits will appear in the moment before entering the apartment? At this time of the year, the apartment will almost completely remove the restrictions on evil spirits, right?" Anyway, in the absolute safety of the apartment, the tenants were not afraid to speak, and instead of saying "those things" and "things that cannot be named", they simply called them "evil spirits". Dong Evil finally rushed to the door, he pulled Dong Ning, pushed the revolving door, finally …… two people entered the apartment! "Coming in!" "Still really survived!" And the moment Dong Ning entered the apartment, the injury on his head was also completely healed, and his entire person also felt completely refreshed. "Congratulations to the two of you!" At this moment, Dong Qi hadn't yet recovered from the ecstasy of finally surviving, when Mo Yuan stepped forward and held out his hand, "Congratulations, Dong Qi, you've now …… completed your first Blood Word Quest!"
