The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

The night was calm.

When it was daybreak, the three of them simply washed up with the help of Yiqing's special abilities, took a few bites of food, and then continued on their journey.

They originally wanted to drive directly to the southern base in one go.

But the further we went, the more damaged the road became.

They had to take a detour.

This detour will waste a lot of time on the road.

Considering that there was not enough food in the trunk, Chen Hang still felt that he had to find some supplies first.

Fortunately, half an hour ago, they came across a shabby gas station, where they not only filled up the car with gas, but also stocked up on oil.

So for now, you don’t have to worry about whether the car will stall halfway.

"Let's go to town first."

Yiqing frowned, "It's been so long since the end of the world began, I'm afraid the things inside have been taken away by someone else."

Just like the supermarket before, except for those cumbersome clothes and quilts, everything else that was easy to carry had been looted.

"It's not that easy to catch birds and animals in the wild, so let's try our luck in the city first."

Since he said so, Yiqing couldn't continue to object.

The car entered the nearest town, and there were several zombies wandering around the entrance.

Chen Hang is now very skilled. He did not get out of the car. He just rolled down the window slightly, stretched out one hand and released his supernatural power to deal with them.

The car continued to drive inside. I thought there were still zombies outside and no living people inside, but I didn't expect that there were still people walking on the street.

As soon as they heard the unusual noise, they turned around quickly, hid in the nearest house, and then closed the door heavily, and probably locked it.

"No, they shouldn't be afraid of zombies, why are they afraid of humans?" Chen Hang was puzzled, "Or is it that I look scary, so people who see me for the first time are afraid of me? But there is glass between them, so they can't see what I look like unless they get close."

Yiqing's eyes darkened slightly, "Zombies are scary, but human nature is even scarier."

"Ok?"

Facing Chen Hang's puzzled gaze, Yiqing slowly uttered four words, "Bullying the weak."

Chen Hang thought about it carefully and had a guess in his mind, "There are zombies outside the town, but they didn't clear them out. They probably don't have the ability to do so. I guess they are the natives of the town who haven't awakened their superpowers. They don't have the ability to escape outside to deal with various crises, so they can only stay here and wait to die.

But under normal circumstances, they wouldn't hide when they see people. Maybe they've suffered at the hands of people outside, so now they're more cautious when they see strangers."

You know, those who can walk outside now basically have superpowers, so this group of ordinary people naturally have no power to resist them.

"Don't think too much. Let's go and look for things in those houses whose doors are still open. The sooner we finish looking, the sooner we can leave, so they won't have to worry all the time." Yiqing said.

"it is good."

They took Huahua and searched in the empty shops and houses nearby, but they couldn't find anything useful except the mess.

This is also normal.

After all, there is still a group of indigenous people staying there. They dare not leave, and they will have to live off their resources if their supplies are not replenished.

"It's basically a wasted trip."

"Let's go back."

They returned to the car and were about to leave when a nearby door that had been closed opened.

A middle-aged woman holding a child walked out.

Her face was sunken, her lips and teeth were pale, and her eyes were a little unfocused. "Are you here looking for food?"

Yiqing nodded, "Yeah."

"There's no food left here." The woman smiled bitterly.

"I know." They had just searched it once.

But when everyone was avoiding them, this woman showed up inexplicably. It couldn't be that she just wanted to say a few meaningless words. She must have other purposes.

Yiqing guessed, "Do you still have food at home? Do you want to take this opportunity to let us take you away?"

When the woman heard the words "I'll take you away", her originally dim eyes brightened for a moment, but were soon replaced by disappointment, "It's a pity that I don't have any extra food."

The child next to them heard them mumbling about "food" and pursed his lips, and cried, "Mom, I'm so hungry."

The woman held the child's hand tighter and said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "I'm hungry too. I'm almost starving to death..."

They looked miserable.

But Yiqing felt that he was miserable too.

Although the three of them still have some food to eat, there is not much left.

When you can’t even protect yourself, how can you have the energy to sympathize with others?

Therefore, Yiqing looked unmoved and asked directly: "So why did you stop us?"

The woman pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.

Yiqing found her quite baffling and was about to leave when the woman finally spoke, "Maybe... we can exchange food." There was a hint of pain in her hoarse voice.

Yiqing didn't understand what she meant at first, and just thought she was being weird. "Didn't you say you had no food left?"

"It just so happens that I have a child, and you have one too." She turned her gaze to Huahua, then swallowed, "We can..."

Yiqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, "No!"

She didn't want to talk to the woman anymore, so she picked up Huahua and got into the car, then urged Chen Hang to drive quickly.

"Don't be angry. She's just an insignificant person. You don't need to take what she says to heart." Chen Hang saw from the rearview mirror that she was still angry and immediately advised her.

Yiqing clenched her fists immediately, "You don't even know what she just said..."

From the corner of his eye, he saw Huahua tilting her head up, waiting for him to continue speaking with a puzzled and curious look on her face. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said vaguely, "You don't know how much she's gone too far!"

Chen Hang whispered, "I know."

Yiqing was surprised, "Did you hear it?"

She remembered that Chen Hang got into the car first, and the woman spoke to her in a very low voice. Logically, Chen Hang should not be able to hear what she said, right?

"almost."

"You have really good hearing." Yiqing complimented him perfunctorily, then complained even more vigorously, "How can there be such a person in this world? Even if they are very hungry, they can't think of... meow, that kid is really unlucky to have a mother like that."

"The end of the world is a test of human nature, and not all mothers in the world are like what is written in the essay, who will love their children unconditionally and are willing to give up everything for their children, including their lives."

The topic seemed to become a little heavy at this point, and there was no smile on Yiqing and Chen Hang's faces.

Huahua tilted her head and thought about it, but couldn't help but gently tugged at the corner of Yiqing's clothes. She said in a confused and dissatisfied tone: "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Can you say something that I can understand?"

"Sure." Yiqing agreed readily, and then quickly asked a question, "What can Huahua understand?"

The little girl lowered her head in thought and did not ask what they were talking about before.

Yiqing also took the time to quickly adjust his mood.

After waiting for two seconds, seeing that the little girl hadn't answered yet, she deliberately asked again, "Have you figured out what you can understand?"

Huahua counted on her fingers and thought hard.

Suddenly, she clenched her fists, as if she had made a decision, and said firmly: "Huahua can understand everything! Brother and sister continue chatting, Huahua can understand."

Chen Hang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yiqing also curved her eyebrows.

She couldn't help but think, how cruel must one have to be to be willing to hurt such a small and adorable child.

Thinking that people's hearts are unpredictable, Yiqing felt it necessary to give the child a safety education lesson, "There are a lot of bad people outside. If Huahua accidentally gets separated from her sister, remember to find a place to hide first. Don't trust strangers casually, and don't go with them. Stupid children will be kidnapped by human traffickers. Huahua should be a smart child, right?"

I thought the child would agree readily, after all, she had been well behaved before.

But Yiqing didn't expect that when the little girl looked up, her eyes were filled with tears.

She asked tearfully, "Sister, do you want to abandon Huahua?"

Yiqing was confused, "No, why do you have such thoughts for no reason? I don't have them."

The little girl sobbed and felt very aggrieved, "But my sister was just scolding Huahua."
