Chapter 21: The Zombie Emperor Wants to Be Beautiful Alone 21
Following Su Ding into the base, Sheng Anqing was still just a little girl. Although she had experienced the terrible scare before, she now knew that she was in a safe place and was no longer afraid.
Sheng Anqing followed Su Ding all the way, his eyes still wandering around, until he bumped into Su Ding's solid back and stopped.
She rubbed her painful forehead and looked at Su Ding with deep confusion in her eyes.
"Why did you stop suddenly?"
The little girl in front of him seemed to really believe what he said, thinking that he had a good relationship with Yu Pei, and now she became more courageous.
Su Ding curled his lips with a half-smile, and brought Sheng Anqing, who was standing behind him, to his side.
While walking, he asked her casually: "What is your relationship with Yu Pei?"
Sheng Anqing was unprepared.
"He saved me."
Su Ding let out a surprised sound.
"How did I save you?"
The man's tone was rather casual, as if he was just asking casually. Sheng Anqing wrinkled his nose, not wanting to recall what happened before.
But she was afraid that Su Ding would be angry, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and honestly told the story of how she had been avoiding zombies in a small supermarket, bumped into Yu Pei's convoy, and was taken back to the base.
Su Ding burst out laughing after hearing this. He kept looking at Sheng Anqing from the corner of his eye to make sure that she was not lying.
Because of this, he felt that this little thing seemed a bit unlucky.
The apocalypse suddenly broke out. I was afraid of zombies and hid in the supermarket. I was finally taken away. The first time I came out to look for supplies, I was abandoned by others. I was also afraid of zombies and hid in the store.
Now I followed him back to the base without even thinking about it.
Su Ding couldn't help but chuckle as he thought about it. He turned his head slightly and looked at Sheng Anqing, who was following him.
It's so simple to be so happy after entering the wolf's den.
There is not much difference between Su Ding's base and Yu Pei's. Maybe they are the same type of people. In the base, resources are divided according to strength.
Ordinary humans without special powers are the lowest level of existence in the base.
Su Ding deliberately led Sheng Anqing past those poor people with sallow faces and thin muscles, hoping to scare her.
Surprisingly, there was no fear on Sheng Anqing's face. Instead, her eyes revealed deep sympathy and worry.
"Can they...have enough to eat?"
Looking at the men and women with dove-shaped faces, Sheng Anqing unconsciously took a step forward and grabbed the corner of Su Ding's clothes.
Su Ding glanced down, why does this little guy like to pull people's clothes so much?
He followed Sheng Anqing's gaze nonchalantly, shrugged and said, "You must be hungry, look at how thin they are."
Sheng Anqing knew this would be the answer. She quickly raised her head and looked at Su Ding with deep pleading in her eyes.
The two stood there, Su Ding looked at her with a half-smile, as if waiting for her to say something.
After a long time, Sheng Anqing breathed out softly, let go of the hand holding Su Ding's clothes, took two steps back, turned around and walked towards those people sitting on the ground in twos and threes.
Su Ding stopped where he was, staring deeply at her back.
He watched Sheng Anqing pick up a child who looked to be only three or four years old on the ground, and then took out two pieces of bread and a bottle of water from his backpack and handed them over.
When taking out the food, Su Ding clearly saw Sheng Anqing's hesitation.
But in just one second, she took out two pieces of bread and handed them to the child's hands.
Not dissatisfied with the dirt on the child's head and face, she carried him to the shade of a nearby tree and looked at his worried face.
"You eat first, don't be afraid, I'll watch you."
This is a low-class area, with eight or nine sallow-looking people sitting or lying on the ground around.
They stared at the bread in the child's hands with bright eyes, as if they were just waiting for Sheng Anqing to leave before they came forward to snatch it away.
Sheng Anqing turned a blind eye to those hungry wolf-like gazes. Su Ding stood not far away, looking at this side with interest, but did not come forward, as if he did not intend to care about her.
The child was devouring the bread, and squatting next to it was a little girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. This combination made those people who were dizzy from hunger start to move again.
Sheng Anqing was keenly aware of those people's thoughts. She frowned slightly and stretched out her hand without looking back.
The next second, a big hole was made in the sand.
Seeing this, Su Ding raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Sheng Anqing with deep interest in his eyes.
This little girl is really interesting.
He stepped closer to Sheng Anqing and heard her asking the child next to her in a gentle voice.
"Kid, where are your family members?"
In any case, it is impossible for such a young child to survive here alone. He must have a family.
Sure enough, after hearing the gentle elder sister's question, the dirty child wiped his face and responded abruptly: "Dad went to work and won't come back until dark."
Sheng Anqing breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the child holding a piece of bread in his hand and reluctant to eat it, and wrinkled his face in embarrassment.
"Will your father bring you food when he comes back?"
The child nodded obediently.
"Then you eat the bread first. My sister can't keep waiting for your father with you. When my sister leaves later, your bread will probably be snatched away by those people."
The child tilted his head and looked at the adults with green eyes. He thought carefully for a while and felt that what Sheng Anqing said made sense.
They were all afraid of their sister, so they didn't come to rob her.
So he no longer hesitated, took apart the bread he was holding in his hands and put it into his mouth again.
Sheng Anqing stood up with a sad face and looked at Su Ding beside her.
"Will these people get food?"
Su Ding smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, if they are willing to work, they will naturally get food."
As for how much he got...he didn't know.
Su Ding didn't say the next words. He looked at Sheng Anqing with a smile on his face, as if he was expecting her next move.
Sheng Anqing didn't ask any more questions. She watched the child finish eating the bread and drinking water, and then smiled and waved to him.
"Goodbye, little one. My sister will come to play with you next time."
Her voice was a little loud, as if she was speaking deliberately to the people around her who were about to make a move.
Su Ding glanced at the side nonchalantly and focused his gaze on Sheng Anqing's face again.
This little thing I picked up seems interesting.
She was as pitiful and scared as a little quail when she was around him, but she turned into a gentle and considerate big sister when she saw the little kid.
After saying goodbye to the child, Sheng Anqing grabbed the corner of Su Ding's clothes again and looked up as a matter of course.
"Where do I live?"
The two walked away from here, and Su Ding asked casually after hearing this.
"Where did you stay at Yu Pei base?"
After hearing this, Sheng Anqing stopped walking. She lowered her eyes and looked down at the road in front of her. She was silent for a while before speaking softly.
"At first, he asked me to live in a low-class area..."
