…… Oh, and this modern and convenient way, I didn't think of it.

"Let's send it while running, it's too late." The younger brother glanced in the direction of the elevator again.

I nodded in agreement and ran with him outside the library.

Soon, we ran out of the library, and after running a little further in the direction of the main road, we made several turns in the side of the road, and only after making sure that the other party could not catch up, did we stop breathlessly.

The first thing the younger brother did after stopping was to look down and take out his phone to start texting. After a while, he gasped and half-turned his head at me: "'Daddy...... Whew...... Mom, in the library...... Whew...... There are bad guys, there may be ...... Whew...... Life-threatening ...... Whew...... Saw this...... Whew...... text message, just hurry up and ...... Whew...... Run'...... Whew...... What do you think? …… Whew......"

I leaned against the wall, because of the fast running just now, my brain was temporarily deprived of oxygen at the moment, and I basically lost the ability to think, and I replied without thinking about it: "Huhuhu...... Yes...... Whew...... Let's send it like that......

So there was a sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" that successfully sent two text messages.

When we finally took a breath, we had the heart to look around.

It is a shopping street-like place, lined with many small and miscellaneous shops. Most of them are clothing stores.

To be honest, if it weren't for this kind of egg pain, I would have really wanted to have a good time here......

"Sister, why don't we eat something first. It's past noon, and there happens to be a bubble tea shop here, and there should be some ingredients in it. If we don't consume what we already have on us, don't consume that, if one day we go out of the city and are in the suburbs, it will be more difficult to find food, and then it will be more cost-effective to consume what we are carrying on our backs. The younger brother pointed to a very girly bubble tea shop at the end of the street.

I nodded, agreeing with him, squinting at the shop. To be honest, the decoration of this store is very eye-catching, and it belongs to the kind of store where a typical girl usually notices when shopping and then takes it for granted that she wants to take a break.

"Isn't it too eye-catching?" I was a little uneasy and said, "Could it be that some strange people have already been recruited inside?" ”

"Let's go and have a look, or let's go to the octopus balls shop opposite. But I can't make octopus balls beforehand, but if you say the barbecue in the bubble tea shop or something, I can still ......" The younger brother pointed across the street again.

I nodded and smiled, "It's okay, I'll make the octopus balls." But it's better to barbecue a little faster, let's go to the bubble tea shop first. ”

So we walked cautiously towards the bubble tea shop together.

The entire street seems to have been blacked out, and every store is dark, even if it's just past noon, it's still a little hard to see inside. When we arrived in front of the bubble tea shop, we didn't push the door directly, but cautiously peeked in through the love gap in the door frame.

There is no one in the place where you can see clearly, and as for the darker part of the store...... I can't tell.

My brother and I looked at each other. Anyway, there must be a place in the octopus balls store that can't be seen clearly, so it's better to spell this directly. So we bravely pushed the door open.

A pleasant "jingle bell" sound came from the pink wind chimes hanging from the door.

I cautiously took every step into the store while curiously scanning the furnishings.

The owner should like HelloKitty very much, because not only on the signboard at the entrance of the store, but also in many details and furnishings in the store, there are a lot of Kitty cats, which is like a HelloKitty theme restaurant.

"Welcome......" Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness, startling my brother and me. Just as I was about to rush out of the door, I saw a very small child coming out of the corner of my eye.

Hey? Is it a child?

I immediately stopped. Even though I know that infected people, even children, are still destructive and irrational. But the child in front of him has clear eyes, he doesn't look like he is infected, and his appearance is so cute, people can't just abandon it.

I quickly grabbed my brother, who had already stepped out of the store with one foot, and then pointed to the child and motioned for him to look.

With just one glance, the younger brother also withdrew the outside foot.

I opened my mouth first: "Honey, this store is yours?" ”

The little girl shuddered for a moment, then nodded slightly, so well-behaved that it was almost distressing.

"You're alone? What about Mom and Dad? The younger brother also spoke, his tone very puzzled.

"They haven't come back yet, so I'm here to look after the store. It's been a long time, I don't know how many days have passed, why haven't they come back? Did something happen to them? Brother and sister, will you take me to them? The little girl seemed to have been poked in the heart, her expression suddenly darkened, and she couldn't help crying as she spoke, and the tears fell down her cheeks like beads with broken threads.

"Okay, good, of course, don't cry." My brother suddenly became scrambled and looked at me as if asking for help.

I gave him a blank look: If you don't open which pot to mention, it's okay now, right? Stretched out his hand to push him aside in disgust, then half-squatted down and looked into the little girl's eyes and patiently said to her: "Something happened outside, your parents should be delayed on the way back, I can take you to find them." But do you know where they go to deliver their goods? We can't find an address without an address. ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly: "If you know, you know, Mom and Dad will write the delivery address in a notebook, and I'll show it to you." ”

As he spoke, he ran deeper into the store.

Listening to the sound of the little leather shoes running away, the expression on my face suddenly became serious, and I hurriedly walked out with my younger brother in tow.

"Huh? What's wrong? Don't wait for that little girl? Didn't you say you wanted to help her? My brother asked with a question mark on his face as he was pulled by me.

"Don't you think it's weird?" I shook my head and said, "If it was true that her parents weren't at home, she would have been watching the store alone for so long." Let's not talk about whether the things stored at home for such a young child for such a long time are enough for her to eat, first of all, why didn't any infected people come into the store to attack her? Or a stranger came over to find her and help take her away? Or tell her about the situation? Do you really think it's reasonable that she just acted like she didn't know anything about it, and that she was still able to stay cut off from the outside world while the store door was open? ”
