Chapter 77: A Little Child

“…… To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. Qiu Xuan was silent for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief. A person I knew before was also born tomorrow, but he wanted to confine himself to that small space for the so-called 'born destiny'. ”

Qiu Xuan looked at the dusty woman as if she was looking at the nightmare from before, and also at herself. "Maybe I can't empathize with you so I'm not qualified to come and talk to you, I don't expect to get your help, I'm just doing what I think is right. But if one day, you're really fed up with this/ass life and crave freedom, come to me and I'll be sure to help you. ”

As she spoke, she didn't look at the woman's expression after hearing the words. Qiu Xuan whispered that she had borrowed it, and then continued to walk forward in the line of black people.

By about a third of the way to the front, she finally saw the end of the dark aisle. There was nothing special at the end, just an ordinary small door. A long line of black people was forming a line, and after a person walked through that door, it often took tens of seconds for a person to let one go inside.

The sense of unease in her heart became stronger and stronger, and Qiu Xuan lined up behind a black father with a child, and secretly slid the Zimu knife down the cuff and hid it in the position where it was easiest to pull out.

"Sister...... Sister! The four or five-year-old child who was held in his arms turned his head and smiled at her unrecognizably when he saw Qiu Xuan. Then the next second, the man holding the child covered his mouth in a panic, the man turned his head and looked at Qiu Xuan nervously for a second, then turned his head and whispered to the child, "Don't speak!" ”。

Within a few minutes, the line was lined up to the man holding the child. The soldiers stationed at the gate waved their hands as if they were driving livestock, and the child, as if realizing something, suddenly began to cry loudly.

The man was startled and quickly covered his mouth, and while turning back to explain to the soldier, "The child may be hungry", but the child's choked and mournful cries continued to leak out from his fingers.

"It's your turn, hurry up and get in!" The soldier yelled, trying to reach for the child. The man paused, gritted his teeth, dodged the soldier's hand, and stuffed the child into Qiu Xuan's arms, and said as he stepped into the door, "I'm sorry for you, I'll wait for you inside in a while." ”

"Dad, Dad!" The child stretched out his little hand in Qiu Xuan's arms, desperately trying to reach the person in front of him, but the man made a great determination and walked into the door without looking back.

The small door made of special metal closed again in front of them, Qiu Xuan hesitated for a moment but hugged the child tightly, and coaxed in a low voice, "Don't cry for a while, I'll take you to him." The child obediently grabbed the hem of Qiu Xuan's clothes, buried his little face on her shoulder, and suppressed his sobs.

"Hey, what's your name?"

“…… An Zixuan. ”

"Okay, An Zixuan, my next words are very important, if you are careful and obedient, I will take you to find your father." Qiu Xuan quietly measured her face and whispered in the child's ear. "Listen, when I step through that door, you hold me by yourself and don't let go of whatever happens. And close your eyes and open them again when I tell you to open them, understand? ”

“…… Good. The child hugged Qiu Xuan's neck with both hands and replied in a choked voice.

Qiu Xuan tested the position of the mother knife again, and stood in front of the door and took a few deep breaths.

Finally, dozens of seconds later, the door slowly opened to her.

"Hurry up!" The soldier shoved her behind her, and Qiu Xuan, with a child hanging on her body, slowly stepped in.

With the sound of the door closing behind her, the danger sensation sounded wildly in her head. She slammed her short body out of a large net that rushed in front of her, and with a flick of her wrist unsheathed her blade, she struck at the white coat with the machine gun.

The man in white and wearing goggles was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect someone to be able to dodge, and then he immediately reacted and aimed the machine gun in his hand at Qiu Xuan.

Qiu Xuan slid to the white coat with a sliding step, and swung a powerful blow with his right arm as if he was about to succeed, but Yu Guang suddenly stopped his movements when he caught a glimpse of a smile on the corner of the person in front of him.

Someone is behind her!

Following the instructions of the danger sense, Qiu Xuan simply turned around and turned behind the white coat, and at the position where she had attacked, a sparkling electric current slashed straight in. She picked out the knife with her thumb and threw it at the man's head, holding the blade in her right hand and stabbing it into the arm of the white coat holding the machine gun.

The white coat hurt and the gun hit the ground, but the person who had sneaked up behind him before stopped the knife flying towards him with a strange metal instrument. Seeing that the commotion here was getting bigger and bigger, Qiu Xuan had no intention of fighting, Han Feng directly followed the trend and slashed at the back of the white coat, and then lifted a kick and kicked him towards another person.

She didn't have time to retrieve the knife, so she scanned the terrain and turned around and ran quickly behind the rows of towering shelves.

At the moment, the place they were in was a closed place similar to an underground warehouse, and the main colors of the environment were basically ochre and oxidized metallics, which made the entire underground laboratory look like a perennial old and decaying feeling. The outer door of the laboratory is filled with gruesome human specimens and monster corpses. Qiu Xuan fled and hid in the rows of large shelves at this moment, looking for the exit of the inner door.

The child named An Zixuan really obediently hugged her neck and lay on her shoulder, although his small body was already trembling because of fear, he also endured not to cry or make trouble. If it weren't for the two little thin arms that were so tight that Qiu Xuan was about to strangle to death, then everything would be expected at the moment.

And just now, before Qiu Xuan was fighting with those two white coats, she saw with her own eyes the blood stains on the rope net that was originally intended to bind her. It was also very easy to confirm the whereabouts of the black man who had handed over An Zixuan to her, and she could easily see the corpse that had been pierced through the chest and abdomen by glancing forward with the bloodstains.

"Sister......" The child endured it for a long time, and finally sobbed aggrievedly and spoke, "Can I open my eyes, have we found Dad?" ”

"Before that, please put away your strong arms, little friend An Zixuan." After walking for a long time, he finally found a relatively hidden corner, and Qiu Xuan temporarily stopped to take a breath. "I'm dying of suffocation."

"I'm sorry!"

Qiu Xuan sat on the ground with the child in her arms and gasped, a little hesitant to tell him the truth of the matter.

She thought about the reason for a long time, oscillating between "your father is going to explore the mystery of life, and you can see him again when you grow up" and "your father turned into a star to protect you in the sky, and it won't be long before you will see each other again".

Qiu Xuan sighed.

"You're allowed to cry later, but not too loudly, you know?"

"Sister?"

"Listen up." Qiu Xuan looked at the ignorant child in front of him expressionlessly:

"Your dad is dead."
