In the dim bamboo building, a little golden halo shone slightly in this small room, three thin figures curled up, and in the three pairs of clear eyes, there was only dependence.

A girl with long flaxen hair sat among three children, her good-looking face slightly diminished by the haggard color.

Xu Ruo whispered a story to the children, and from time to time glanced out from the only skylight of the bamboo building, but every time it only made the disappointment in her heart even more.

The blood clouds on the horizon are still there, and this nightmarish catastrophe seems to be endless.

"Sister, sister, when will Mom come back?" asked the little girl, who was a little pale, softly.

Xu Ruo was silent for a while, and looked away as if evading - she didn't dare to look into the gaze of the child in front of her, because then she would feel that she could no longer make up lies.

She had been lying to the three children in front of her, telling them that their parents were just away from home... But in fact...

In this post-disaster city, Xu Ruo doesn't know if there are survivors like herself, but what she knows is that the probability that the parents of these children are still safe and sound is extremely slim.

What's more, even if it is them, it is only [temporary] safety at this time. Who is truly safe in this land where the dead are rampant?

And...

If it weren't for the inexplicable fresh food and water coming at the door every day, they would have been unable to support it.

Xu Ruo was also confused, and at first she didn't even dare to eat the food that was delivered, but her hunger and fear of the outside world forced her to try it.

Luckily, it's safe.

I don't know who kept them here like pets... Whenever he thought of this, Xu Ruo was so scared that he didn't dare to think about the afternoon...

However, under this disaster, such a temporary and stable life is now precious, and Xu Ruo does not expect to be saved... She just hopes to live a few more days and take a good look at the smiling faces of these children in front of her - this is also an important reason why she is an outstanding graduate of Hanzhu Vocational College, but she stays in a remote place in Hanzhu City to become a college teacher.

"It's coming. He said vaguely. Then Xu Ruo immediately opened the topic, "Xiaoluo, do you want to listen to my sister tell the story of [White-haired Old Grandfather]..."

"My sister has already spoken about it three times. The little girl looked sad, as if she would cry at any time, "I miss my mother..."

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

Just as Xu Ruo was about to say something, the calm, unusually clear footsteps made her face instantly turn pale...

She looked at the bamboo gate not far away, and fear slowly crept up her cheeks!

Suddenly, Xu Ruo felt the hands of the two children behind him grasping his clothes harder...

Xu Ruomeng woke up suddenly, she realized that the children were even more scared than her, and she was their only reliance now...

Gritting his teeth, a fiery red halo gradually formed a pattern of magic in the air...

Even if you die, you have to be like Teacher Lu Hai and do what a person should do!

"Don't be afraid. The gentle voice made Xu Ruo almost think that he was having auditory hallucinations.

The handsome young man pushed open the bamboo door, and behind him was a girl with long green hair, who was still holding an unconscious child in her arms...

"Who are you...?" Xu Ruo asked stunned, and the brilliance of the magic condensed around her gradually dissipated.

"I'm Su Qiran, this is Xingnuo. Su Qiran introduced himself, and then looked at Xu Ruo with a slightly complicated gaze.

"You are the Empire's rescue force!?" Suddenly I thought that I might have to be pleasantly surprised.

Looking at the surprise on the girl's face and the look of relief, Su Qiran was slightly embarrassed.

But he spoke it up.

"We are not a rescue force. Su Qiran said softly.

“... Be... Are you, too, a survivor of Cold Bamboo City?" The huge gap made Xu Ruo's heart uncomfortable, but she still quickly sorted out her emotions.

"We're going to the Eternal Forest, I want to entrust this kid to you..."In the end, Su Qiran couldn't help but scold himself... But at present, this is the only option, and in today's Cold Bamboo City, only this is the safest place - because of Xiao Mu's protection, other undead dare not approach, this is a natural class suppression, even unconscious undead will follow this instinctive trend.

Looking at the girl in Xingnuo's arms, Xu Ruo was silent for a long time.

"If we can get back from the Eternal Forest, I'll take you out of here, there's a safe city to the north. ”

“... This is the spirit of the Eternal Forest, right?" Xu Ruo suddenly asked.

"Ahh Yes, yes, I am the elf of the Eternal Forest. Xingnuo replied a little overwhelmed.

"The empire of the elves... Otherwise, if the elven empire still exists, it will definitely be safe there..."Xu Ruo said without giving up.

"It's too dangerous to cross the Eternal Forest. Su Qiran shook his head slightly. Then he looked at Xu Ruo seriously.

"I'll leave some water and food here... There is also a magic guide device that purifies the air... Can you trust us?"

In the past, Xiao Mu had relied on the [Divine Talisman] that had been picked up from the battlefield to support a [Pure Land] that was not infected by the breath of the necromancy.

But those Divine Talismans that had been damaged on the battlefield were obviously not as effective as professional purification magic devices.

Xu Ruo's eyes kept flickering with a struggling look, and she didn't know whether to believe the young man in front of her... Taking care of one more child is a big burden, and just comforting three children every day has already made her a big burden...

"And this is the safest place in Hanzhu City right now. You don't have to worry about your comfort anytime soon..."

"Okay..."Xu Ruo said helplessly, and then looked at Su Qiran's eyes seriously, "I hope your promise is true... You are my only hope and that of these children. ”

"Thank you. ”

Xu Ruo took the unconscious Chengcheng from Xingnuo's arms. Then he looked at the two strangers who suddenly appeared in front of him with complicated eyes.

Su Qiran took out the ordinary food and water sources from the portable space device, and then added four magic devices with a soft halo to the four corners of this small room...

"Big brother..."Xiao Luo pulled the corner of Su Qiran's clothes who had arranged everything and was about to leave.

"Big brother, have you seen Mom... Xiaoluo misses her mother..."

Su Qiran's face changed for a while, and finally he reluctantly smiled softly, and he said in the most relaxed tone possible, "Brother has seen Xiaoluo's mother, Xiaoluo's mother went to the far north..."

"Why did Mom go to the North? Where is the North? Mom, don't you want to be left behind..."
