"It should be fine at this point."

After leaving the crowd with the girl in his arms, Fang Zheng made several turns in a row before finding a no-man's land, and then put the girl down.

"How? Can you walk on your own? ”

"Ah......... Yes ........."

Feeling Fang Zheng's movements, the girl was slightly surprised, she was a little reluctant to leave Fang Zheng's embrace, and then stood on the ground again, bowing her head to Fang Zheng.

"Thank you for saving me........."

"You're welcome, just a little bit of effort."

In the face of the girl's thanks, Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"But what the hell are those bastards doing, bullying a girl? Is this their hobby? What a bunch of neuropathic .........."

"That ........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's muttered exclamation, the girl hesitated for a moment, but still looked at him and asked in a low voice.

"Excuse me......... You, aren't you afraid of me? ”

"Me? Afraid of you? ”

Faced with the girl's inquiry, Fang Zheng was completely confused by the second monk.

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

"Because, because I am the 'Cursed Child,' ........."

As she spoke, the girl reached out and pressed the pair of cat ears above her head as if to cover something.

"Great, everyone says that the 'Cursed Child' is terrible and hates our existence........."

Looking at the girl who lowered her head in front of her, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and touched her little head.

"I don't think there's anything to be afraid of, a cute kid like you, there are people who hate it, and I can only say that those people have a problem with their brains."

"Huh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girl raised her head in surprise, her lilac eyes shining with pure brilliance.

"I......... Isn't it cute? ”

"Of course, how can someone hate a cute child like you? Not to mention, cat ears are cute attributes. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and gently pinched the girl's cat ear......... Well, it's soft to the touch, so it's so comfortable to the touch.

"Woo........."

Feeling Fang Zheng's touch, the girl trembled her body and looked at Fang Zheng with a dissatisfied expression.

"Big brother......... It's itchy........."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Seeing the girl's flushed face, Fang Zheng also hurriedly let go of the cute pair of cat ears.

"By the way, what are you here for?"

"This ............"

In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, the girl showed an uneasy expression.

"I, I just want to see if I can find some food, we haven't eaten for days......"

"Everyone?"

"Hmm......... It's a 'cursed son' like me........."

“……………”

Looking at the girl's expression, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment.

"Do you need food?"

"Yes, and ......... Winter is coming soon, and if you don't get some warm clothes, everyone's life will be very hard. ”

"In that case, let me help you."

"Huh?"

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the girl raised her head in surprise.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course."

Looking at the girl's surprised expression, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"It's fate, I don't know why the people in this city think of you as monsters, but ......... Anyway, bullying a bunch of kids doesn't align with my values. But first........."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng carefully looked at the girl in front of him, and the girl at this moment was only wearing a thin and tattered dress, I don't know what kind of garbage heap or somewhere else she picked up, and she didn't even wear shoes. It was already late autumn in this world at the moment, and the howling cold wind was blowing, making the girl's petite body tremble.

"Let's give you a change of clothes first, you are familiar with this place, are there any clothing stores or anything like that nearby?"

"No, no........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, the girl took a step back in surprise, stretched out her hand again to suppress her cat ears and shook her head.

"I can't enter those shops, or I'll be kicked out........."

Is it because of the cat's ears?

Looking at the girl's reaction, Fang Zheng sighed silently, and then he reached out and rummaged in his own space. I remember there should be ......... here Well, barely, it's okay.

"Put on the hat."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a black hat from the space bag and put it on the girl's head. This is the hat he bought when he accompanied Tilia to buy clothes, and because I don't like this style, I was thrown here by Fangzheng. But now it looks ......... It's a good fit for this girl.

"Huh?"

Sensing the hat on her head, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, while Fang Zheng looked at her and smiled.

"That way, you don't have to worry about being discovered."

“…………… Thank you .........."

Grabbing the brim of her hat, the girl lowered her head and whispered thanks with a blushing face. For the girl, this is the first time in her life that she has been treated so gently, and when those people saw her before, there was always disgust and hatred in their eyes, all of which the girl was used to. Even she herself thinks that maybe she really shouldn't have been born into this world, her mother abandoned her, and everyone else looked at her with hatred.

But......... This is the first time......... Someone......... Treat yourself so gently.

"So, before we do that, let's introduce ourselves."

Fang Zheng crouched down and stared at the girl in front of him.

"My name is Fangzheng, you can call me whatever you want......... So, what about your name? ”

“…………… Buschgreen. ”

Even after a long and long time, Bu Shicui will never forget the figure that appeared by her side on this day and saved her from the infinite darkness of the world.

Shopping street.

The commotion caused by Fang Zheng just now didn't seem to cause much trouble, and everything around him looked the same as usual. Fang Zheng leaned against the wall next to him, watching the crowd walking around the store, while flipping through a magazine called "The Original Intestine War" in his hand. And through this magazine, Founder finally has some understanding of the current situation in this world.

Eight years ago, a viral parasite called the "Protozoan" appeared in the world, possessing mutated bodies and powers, as well as the ability to recover almost indestructible. Humanity fought against these monsters and was ultimately defeated. Humanity has lost 80 percent of its territory and is only able to huddle in a small metropolitan area. On the outskirts of the city, they built huge stone monuments using "chime" metal, which can prevent the proto-arazoa from approaching, and when made into weapons, can effectively kill the proto-arazoa, but also weaken their ability to regenerate.

People who are attacked and bitten by an aragut will be injected into bodily fluids by the aragut, resulting in a genetic mutation that will make them one of them. In Fang Zheng's view, this so-called virus is actually not much different from Resident Evil, except that the virus in Resident Evil will turn into a zombie after biting, and the bite here will turn into a monster.

However, for Founder, the most important thing is ......... "cursed son".

In general, studies have found that enteroviruses do not produce mutations in humans unless they are injected into the bloodstream. However, enterovirus that enters through the mouth has a certain chance of infecting infants. Those babies are born with red eyes, and some babies have a similar appearance due to various mutations.

Unlike those victims who are bitten by protozoan animals and turn into monsters directly, these "cursed children" can inhibit the erosion of protozoviruses to a certain extent. But as they grow up, the erosion rate of these intestinal viruses on the "Cursed Child" will also become higher and higher, and once the erosion rate of the "Cursed Child" exceeds 50%, then they will become the Cursed Child.

Moreover, due to the instability of the Y chromosome, all the "cursed children" who survived after being infected with the original enterovirus were girls.

That's why those people are afraid of them?

"Whoa."

At this moment, the curtain in front of Fang Zheng's eyes opened, and then, Bu Shicui walked out with a slightly red face.

"Me, I've already chosen my clothes, big brother, do you look good?"
