After about half an hour, the two came to a small town.
Xu Ye raised his head and looked at the sky. Night was about to fall, and there was already a faint clear moon hanging in the sky.
After taking stock of the surrounding environment, Xu Ye said to Dou Xiaomi, "Let's rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
"Yeah." Douxiaomi nodded.
The two continued to find a relatively clean building. After entering the house, Xu Ye blocked the door on the first floor with a cabinet, and then came to a room on the second floor.
This seems to be a place where someone with a small fortune lives. The room is very spacious and the decoration is very good.
But maybe because it was the end of the world, this place looked like it had been visited by countless people, and the floor of the room looked messy.
The two of them worked together and quickly cleaned up the place, and the sky outside the house was completely plunged into darkness.
Xu Ye took out some combustion aids from the storage space, and then raised a fire on the ground.
These woods were collected on the road a long time ago. The two of them were sitting by the fire, and the firelight reflected on Douxiaomi's cheeks, giving them an indescribable soft and cute feeling.
"Let's eat, let's eat, let's eat! I want to eat ribs tonight!" Dou Xiaomi knew that Xu Ye had a special magical ability. He could take out a lot of delicious food at will. This was a magical skill for Dou Xiaomi!
But this was when Xu Ye suddenly knocked on the floor, turned and looked coldly at the door: "If you have anything to do, you can come in and tell me, but if you have nothing to do, just stay away!"
"Is there someone outside?" Dou Xiaomi was startled, and she immediately looked outside the closed door.
Xu Ye coldly took the food out of the storage space and observed the movement outside the door. However, the breath still stayed outside the door, neither leaving nor coming in.
Xu Ye became a little impatient and stood up and slowly approached the door. Dou Xiaomi also stood up from the floor, ready to take action at any time.
The door squeaked, and Xu Ye couldn't help but be startled when he saw the scene outside the door. As he expected, there was really a person outside the door, a little girl to be precise.
The girl, who was about 14.5 years old, must have fainted outside the door because of hunger.
"Is it a child? What happened to her?" Dou Xiaomi walked over. When she saw that it was a little girl, she was relieved and at the same time extremely confused, "Why is this child here? And alone."
Xu Ye said nothing and gently touched the girl's back with his toes. After a while, the girl woke up again.
After seeing Xu Ye and Dou Xiaomi, the girl trembled violently all over and tried to shrink back. Her eyes looking at Xu Ye were full of fear.
Xu Ye was speechless. He had completely restrained his murderous aura, but the little girl was still afraid of him being like this.
Seeing this, Dou Xiaomi walked out and said in a gentle tone: "Little sister, why are you here?"
Perhaps it was Dou Xiaomi's smile that gave her a hint of confidence. The girl asked with some fear: "You...are you eating human flesh?"
Dou Xiaomi looked back at the food on the ground and said helplessly: "Of course not, it's made of pork. Do you want to eat it together?"
As he said that, Dou Xiaomi turned sideways and signaled to the girl that she could go in. When the girl saw this, she immediately swallowed her saliva. Her eyes were full of longing. It could be seen that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
And the little girl just came here because of the movement and the faint scent.
Neither Dou Xiaomi nor Xu Ye seemed to show any hostility at this time. With the temptation of food, the girl finally nodded and followed Dou Xiaomi into the room.
At the same time, Xu Ye grabbed a bucket of mineral water from the side and handed it to the girl: "You should be familiar with this place. I'll give you this water. Wipe your face and come back to eat."
The girl took it in a daze. After seeing the food placed on the floor clearly, her dark eyes suddenly lit up. Her hands seemed to be a little stronger, and she hurriedly ran out with the water.
The two of them sat back by the fire. If they met a girl who didn't look very lethal in this deserted place, they could only help Xu Ye.
Moreover, he could tell at a glance that this girl was a local survivor. He must know some basic information about this place. Xu Ye actually wanted to get some information from her.
Within a few minutes, the girl walked in from the door. Although she was still a little scared, she was not as scared as before, and she sat down gently.
Seeing the girl fidgeting, Dou Xiaomi filled her with a bowl of porridge and handed it to her hand and said: "Looking at your pale face, I guess you haven't eaten for a long time. Drink some porridge first to warm your stomach."
."
"Thank you, sister." The girl nodded gratefully, and then devoured it regardless of how hot it was.
After half an hour, the girl finally put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Dou Xiaomi saw this and asked, "What's your name? Are you a local here?"
At this time, the girl was no longer so afraid of the two of them. If she really wanted to hurt him, there was no need to feed him such precious food.
The girl nodded and said: "My name is Yu Bao, you can call me Bao'er. I am from this town, and this is my home."
Dou Xiaomi asked again: "Where are your parents?"
When the girl heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she said sadly: "They went out to look for food and never came back. I guess they must have been eaten by those people."
"Eat people!" Dou Xiaomi was a little shocked.
Dou Xiaomi had never seen that kind of scene, so he couldn't imagine how cruel it was to do such a thing as cannibalism.
However, Xu Ye was very calm in comparison. After all, he had seen it with his own eyes. Those cannibals could no longer be called humans. They were all beasts!
At this time, Xu Ye suddenly asked: "Have all the towns here been destroyed?"
The girl said with some uncertainty: "That's right. I don't dare to run too far. It's too dangerous here, but I heard from some people passing by that there seems to be a very big stronghold in the province."
"Brother, sister, can you do me a favor?" The girl suddenly put her hands on the ground and knelt down.
Dou Xiaomi was stunned and hurriedly helped the girl up and said, "What are you doing? If you have any requests, just say them directly. There is no need for this!"
"I...can I ask you two to avenge my parents?"
"You mean, those beasts that ate your parents?"
The girl nodded and looked at the two of them with hopeful eyes.
"But we don't know where they are?" Dou Xiaomi was a little confused.
"You can take me with you. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I've seen those people before, and I will point them out to you when the time comes!" the girl said hurriedly.
Dou Xiaomi turned her gaze to Xu Ye and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Ye, look..."
Xu Ye nodded: "Okay, take her with you. If we don't find those people by then, we can also put her in the provincial capital stronghold. At least it should be much safer than here."
"Thank you, thank you, brother and sister, you two are really good people!" The girl began to say thank you again.
