Chapter 214 Farewell

The base that had been away for several months was finally in sight, and Lu Jiayi's attention returned to it. Only more than half of the outermost city wall was built, and no new sentries had been set up yet. The vehicle drove directly to the next city wall without stopping.

The distance was relatively far just now, and the people in the car didn't feel it very clearly. Now that they are under the city wall, their most intuitive feeling is one word.

big!

Whether it is the city walls, fields, gates, moats, etc., they are all bigger.

The convoy slowly arrived at the base gate and immediately attracted the attention of the sentry.

Sean jumped out of the car first and walked to the outer door. The doorkeepers today were actually Dell and Amy, an old man and a young man. They saw Lu Jiayi through the car window before he got out of the car.

Amy said hello with an excited expression. Lu Jiayi smiled and got out of the car.

"Captain! Welcome back."

Dale also hugged him with a smile on his face, and then looked at the huge motorcade behind them.

"Are these people?"

"Most of them came back from Washington with me, and I had to work hard to arrange them."

Amy cast an admiring look and said loudly in surprise.

"It's amazing. You brought so many people back at once. You really make a difference wherever you go."

As she spoke, Amy reached out and patted his shoulder in a pretentious manner, which made him a little funny, but he immediately thought that now was not the time for small talk, and when he was about to speak, he heard Dale suddenly say.

"Lu, because security has been upgraded now, everyone entering and exiting the base must be inspected, and strangers must hand in their weapons."

Before Lu Jiayi could speak, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then several voices said in unison.

"no problem."

It was Ezekiel and the others. They turned to look at the people around them. They all smiled heartily. Ezekiel was the first to speak.

"Lu, we all believe in you, so we will cooperate with any inspection."

Nodding to express his gratitude to the others for their understanding, Lu Jiayi continued to turn his head to look at the two of them and said slightly sadly.

"Lori was bitten, but she needs to see Karl for the last time. We will accompany him the whole time, so let them go in first."

"What!?"

"Oh, God!"

At this time, they saw several people getting out of the RV behind them. Daryl and T-boy were carrying a stretcher on one side. Next to them, Glenn and Maggie were supporting Rick on the left and right. later.

Rick's face was very bad, but he still followed closely beside the stretcher. His sad expression made everyone who saw it a little worried. Michonne and others followed him out of the car, and they all also He looked here with a complicated expression.

Dale and Amy both ran up and first checked on Loli on the stretcher. She had developed a high fever and her face was as pale as paper. However, she was still conscious, but her expression was a little anxious. She must have wanted to see her child as soon as possible. them.

The two didn't stop the group, and Dale just patted Rick's hand as he passed by.

They arrived at the square in the backyard without any obstruction, and did not bring Loli into the accommodation area. Even if they were all leaders, they could not ignore everyone's danger.

Several people went directly into the dormitory to observe the newcomers, and Karl and Judith would be brought over soon.

Lu Jiayi stepped forward and put his arms around Rick's shoulders. Seeing his lost look, he felt very uncomfortable, but he still spoke in a more serious tone.

"You need to cheer up. Carl and Judith are still counting on you. They have lost their mother. You can't fall down again. Do you understand?"

Sean held his face more directly and said softly.

"Listen, Carl and Judith will be here soon. Do you need me to go talk to him first?"

As if thinking of the child, Rick's expression finally changed. He glanced at his wife on the bed and slowly shook his head.

"Lori's time is running out, let her stay with the children for a while."

"Mom! Dad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Karl's shouts came from outside.

Soon I saw a fair little boy running in, accompanied by Beth. In her arms was Judith, who was less than six months old.

The first thing Karl saw when he ran in was his father, and then he spotted Lu Jiayi standing next to his father.

"Uncle Lu, when did you come back?"

Smiling and squatting down, Lu Jiayi did not answer his question, but held his shoulders with both hands, and his expression became much more serious.

"Karl, you are a man, do you know that?"

"Yes, I have been helping to take care of my sister, and I also help people in the base!"

"Listen, your mother had an accident. She is very uncomfortable now, but she misses you very much. You have to be strong for a while and remember to comfort your mother. Can you do it?"

When he heard the news that his mother was injured, Karl's little face immediately wrinkled up, as if he was about to cry, but when he saw the looks of several adults around him, he still frowned and held back, and nodded seriously.

"I am an adult now. I will comfort my mother and let her recover in peace."

Looking at his son's appearance, Rick finally reacted. He knelt down and hugged his son.

"I'm sorry! Carl!"

Lu Jiayi stood up and looked at Beth, who was holding the child beside her, and nodded slightly to her.

Beth also nodded slightly, her eyes swept over the people on the side, and finally fell on Daryl.

"You're back."

"uh-huh."

"Where's your brother?"

"He had a mission and didn't come back."

…

Rick finally stood up and led Carl to his wife's bedside. At this time, Lori seemed to notice the movement and turned her head slightly to look here.

After breaking free from his father's hand, Karl rushed to his mother's side and jumped directly on her.

Although it felt like all the bones in her body were falling apart now, Lori struggled to sit up. While she put her hands on Carl's head, she also looked at Judith in Beth's arms.

Reaching out to take the child, Judith was still sleeping with her eyes closed. She seemed to feel her mother's breath, and her two big blinking eyes opened, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Loli's defense was broken in an instant, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She only had endless regret in her heart now, but it was too late.

Just when the family of four was mourning, another group of people suddenly broke in from outside. The leader was a few people led by Evan and his wife, followed by some of the leaders in the base and Loli's family. People who walk very close.

A large number of people poured into the observation room instantly. The originally spacious space was packed to the brim, and everyone had a look of worry on their faces.

It's not that Loli has accumulated such a high popularity. Most of these people gathered here because of Rick. Only a few women came specifically to visit Loli.

However, the family was obviously not in the mood. They could only wait and watch in front of the door for a while and then left temporarily.

After all, Karl couldn't hold it back. The almost nine-year-old boy already understood some things between life and death. After all, being in this environment would still be affected to some extent.

But what surprised Lu Jiayi was that this boy was much stronger than he imagined. He had been neglecting this child because of various things before, but he didn't expect that he was also slowly growing up.

"It seems that the children in the base also need some training."
