Chapter 356: Returning Home

But he refused to sleep, rubbing his eyes vigorously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Dirty hands." Nick slapped the little boy's hand away and told him not to rub his eyes.

Not to mention, the fact that he could not rub his eyes with dirty hands was told to him by Madame Lefebble five days earlier. These things that should have been learned since childhood, he only waited until now, when he was almost an adult, before anyone cared.

Looking back, Nick himself wondered why he didn't become a primitive man, with a leather apron tied around his waist and a stick in his hand, running to the mountains and forests.

The little boy obediently stopped rubbing his eyes, and could only blink constantly and look around vigilantly.

"You don't have to guard me." Nick sensed what the little boy was trying to do, "It's already on the ground, and I can take care of myself." You rest. ”

The little boy looked at Nick with wide eyes, meaning to ask him, was he telling the truth?

"Hmm." Nick nodded, thought for a moment, and smiled.

The little boy looked at Nick for a while, and felt that Nick was not lying, so he lay down on the mattress that Nick had found for him. As soon as his head touched the pillow, the little boy, who had been vigilant, immediately fell into a coma.

Nick sighed, pulled the quilt again, and covered the little boy.

Truth be told, he doesn't feel safer at all.

Sanitation workers and repairmen do the same kind of work. One is arresting him, won't the other be?

But now he'd rather take that risk than knock on the door. In addition to those worries, more importantly, he didn't want to deal with people for the time being.

He really, a little nostalgic for Castle Peak Cemetery.

The days there were no different from the day before. Although there is no expectation for the future, there is nothing strange about it.

So, is he going back to Castle Peak Cemetery?

The likelihood is very low. He can't take a starship like this now.

So...... Go home?

Nick shuddered.

Can he let his mother see him like this?

Nick lifted his hand and looked at his palm.

Twelve hours ago, the answer was no. He would rather die like this than let his mother down in him.

But he's not sure now.

Because there was a life, he gave up himself for him to survive.

It's ridiculous that he was saved by the Zerg, a monster.

Probably because he's a monster too.

But will he give up his life for the little boy, mother and son?

Nick asked himself if he couldn't do it.

Nick took a deep breath. In order not to wake up the little boy, he lowered his voice very softly, even if he was just breathing.

If he continues to give up on himself, will he waste another person's life?

Nick clenched his fists and crawled to his feet.

This is the rest room for sanitation workers. Sure enough, he found a tattered map here.

It seems that it is used to divide the work area among the sanitation workers.

Incidentally, Nick's Star Brain Terminal and Communicator were thrown by him shortly after he was chased by the Cleaners, as he discovered that the other party seemed to be able to locate him through them.

So thanks to this map, Nick can figure out where he is, which direction he should go and how long he should go if he wants to go home.

Memorizing the map as quickly as he could, Nick gently picked up the sleeping boy.

The clear sunlight awakens the entire community. The sanitation workers dragged back with tired steps, always feeling that something was not quite right.

In the desert, Nick was racing.

It was already a residential area for the aristocracy. He followed the memory in his head and walked along the dividing line between the different residences. With today's technology, even if the "home" of the aristocracy is vast enough to be used as a racetrack, and it is often like a no-man's land, as long as someone steps into it, it will be detected by surveillance satellites, and the guards will be there within a few minutes. Moreover, there are hardly any markings at the boundary between different households, and if you are not careful, you will step into private land. But Nick was able to find the dividing line that was at most two feet wide in this completely landmarkless prairie, and stepping on it accurately would trigger the alarms on both sides, and even Nick himself was a little skeptical of how he did it.

Leaving home in such a hurry, the journey home was so smooth. Soon, Nick saw a familiar house in the distance.

At this point, he slowed down.

"Aren't you going back?" The little boy in Nick's arms asked him.

Nick was stunned for a moment and squeezed a smile: "No." Have decided to go back. Just trying to be careful. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

The little boy followed Nick's gaze in the direction of the house. “…… No one. ”

"What?"

"In the house, there is no one." The little boy said.

Nick suddenly realized. Truly! At this time, all the servants in the house began to work. But the yard is still empty.

"What about the inside of the house?" Nick asked eagerly.

"No one." The little boy gritted the words and said them again. What he just said was that there was no one in the house," ...... What happened to you? ”

Nick didn't bother to answer the little boy, and stumbled forward with a cold body.

Those killers have such a clear target, then they must know who he is. It will also be clear where he lives.

What if, when they don't find him, they run to his house to look for him?

What an idiot he is!

Nick ran wildly towards the house, and soon burst into the courtyard door, walked through the courtyard, and kicked open the closed door.

"Mother!"

The call of panic echoed over and over again in the empty house.

Nick left the boy behind and searched the huge mansion like crazy.

There really isn't one.

Nick shuffled his heavy footsteps, panting back to the antechamber.

"No, don't be so pessimistic just yet." He muttered to himself.

There was no one in the house, but there was no trace of blood or fighting. Everything is neatly arranged.

…… Could it be that some Zerg ran to his house and kidnapped everyone in his family?

But his family is full of dozens of people, how many zergs are here?

Suddenly, there was a creak of the doorway behind him, and Nick jerked his head back.

"Less, young master......"

The janitor of his house stood trembling outside the door, frightened by his hideous expression.

Nick jumped to his feet and grabbed the janitor, "What about my mother?" What about the people in the family? Where are they gone?! ”

"Less, young master......"

The janitor's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand why, in the blink of an eye, Nick was in front of him from five meters away. "Where have you been, young master! Madame is dying. Everyone has gone out to look for you, and even the cook has been called to help. ”

"Really?" Nick blinked and asked.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. (To be continued.) )
