The strange young man who handed the biscuits to the young woman was none other than Ling Yu, who had mingled among the refugees. And he had brought a few of these compressed biscuits with him from the small town of Black Dragon.
When Ling Yu heard what the other party said, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No need to return it, it's just a few biscuits! I just don't have water here, so you have to be careful not to let your child choke when eating it.
.”
As soon as Ling Yu finished speaking, the little girl really choked on a big mouthful because she ate so fast that it could be described as "gobbled".
Her mother hurriedly took out an old kettle from her backpack, opened the lid, and let the little girl take a few sips.
"Mom, eat!" The little girl was very obedient. After eating half of the biscuit, she stopped eating and handed the remaining half to her mother with her little hands.
"Mom is not hungry, Xi'er can eat by herself!" the woman said happily, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a few more pieces?" Ling Yu could tell that the young woman was actually very hungry. At least he had seen her accidentally pinch her belly with her hands many times from just now until now.
"No...no, thank you!" the young woman whispered.
Some atrocities always happen after giving alms! She knows it very well, so until now, she dare not look directly at Ling Yu because she is afraid!
Especially after her husband had just died, she, a weak woman, was even more frightened in this apocalyptic world where insects were rampant and thugs were everywhere.
She kept warning in her heart: "Liu Xiaorou, the doomsday is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. For Xi'er, you have to be careful, be careful, and be careful again!"
Ling Yu saw that the other party did not want it and did not want to force others to make things difficult. Seeing that he was gradually lagging behind the fleeing team just now, Ling Yu hurriedly quickened his pace and followed that group of people again.
Liu Xiaorou also seemed to realize that she was a little behind the big team. If there were insects from behind, it would be a big deal. So, she picked up the little girl beside her and trotted quickly to follow Ling Yu.
pace.
During the march, from beginning to end, Liu Xiaorou found that the strange young man in front of her had never set his sights on herself and her daughter, but had been staring at the front of the fleeing group, which was a section of the army that was under special protection.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she might be too sensitive, so she also lowered her guard against the strange man in front of her.
"Are you also a refugee who escaped from Tianwu City?" Zhao Xiaorou held the little girl and ran all the way, slightly keeping up with Ling Yu's pace. Perhaps out of politeness or gratitude, she decided to talk to the other party.
"Yeah!" Ling Yu nodded casually. He had been observing the section of the fleeing team that was intensively protected by the army, trying to accurately locate the "Core of Truth" through his "intellectual perception".
"Are you also from the slums?" Liu Xiaorou asked.
But as soon as she finished asking, she felt that she had asked such a silly question. How could the other party, who ate the best military compressed biscuits, be a pariah in the slums like herself? It's just that his clothes were a bit like those in the refugee slums.
But that doesn't mean anything
"Yeah!" How do you know? Ling Yu looked ahead and nodded unconsciously.
Liu Xiaorou was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the young man in front of him had someone in the palace or the army, so he could get such incredible and precious food?
"Then...which area of the slum are you in?" Liu Xiaorou asked.
"Which district is it from?" Ling Yu was really pulled back by the woman's question this time, and he thought to himself: "Lao Kun did say that the slums in Tianwu City are divided into zones!"
"From District 6!" Ling Yu replied casually. He didn't care about this problem at all. He only got into the refugee team for the core of truth. For him, the first task was to find this thing, and he would do the rest.
I no longer care.
"From District 6!? I'm from District 6 too!" Liu Xiaorou suddenly became excited and said, "But, I don't think I've ever seen you in District 6."
At this time, Ling Yu and the others were jogging all the way, gradually catching up with the large army, and then they started to slow down again. He just heard him say: "Well, I usually follow the team out of the city to look for food, so I rarely stay in the slums.
Stay!"
When Liu Xiaorou heard this, she thought it made sense. It would be obvious why the other party could get such precious food.
"Our team is actually from District 6 of the Refugee Refugee. That's Uncle He over there, Aunt Lin over there, and that's Xiaozhe...! By the way, where are your relatives?" Liu Xiaorou didn't know where.
In the excitement of coming, he suddenly introduced the members of their escape team to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu suddenly felt that the woman in front of him seemed a bit verbose! If he didn't block her mouth, I'm afraid she would keep asking endless questions.
"They're all dead!" Ling Yu said coldly.
Frankly speaking, he had been growing up in an orphanage in peacetime. Apart from the colorful pebble passed down from his ancestors, how could he know of any other relatives? He had always wanted to know about his life experience, but he seemed to have no clue.
and answers.
With these three short words, Ling Yu originally wanted to seal the topic of the other party. But in Liu Xiaorou's heart, it really made him feel something else.
For the first time, she raised her head and looked directly at Ling Yu, who was in a hurry, as if she sympathized with him from the bottom of her heart, her eyes full of sadness.
In this cruel apocalypse, how many people have lost their loved ones!
Three hours ago, I lost my beloved and dependent husband, but I never thought that the young man in front of me would lose all his relatives.
How did he survive alone!
"It's all those bugs! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have lost so many relatives!" Liu Xiaorou said sadly in her heart.
At this time, perhaps because of the sense of shared fate as "we are both fallen people at the end of the world", Liu Xiaorou suddenly had a better impression of the young man in front of her.
But if she knew that the young man in front of her was actually a Zerg commander who killed humans under the city of Zerg, I don’t know how she would feel!
Unknowingly, the entire Tianwu City's million-strong escape team marched in the dark for nearly five or six hours.
Fortunately, the scary bugs never pursued me.
After five or six hours of frantic running and escaping, the big stone in everyone's heart has finally fallen to less than half!
The distance from Tianwu City to the imperial capital Yanjing was extremely long, and the road to escape was long and full of famine and hardship. It was really not much different from the fierce battle with the insects in Tianwu City.
It's just that there, people suffered immediate death; but here, what they are about to endure is the unpredictable and long threat of death.
