"These people are really clean." Although he had been mentally prepared, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little angry.

An Cheng didn't care too much, "This is normal, behind these shops is a fairly large community, this little thing is not enough for so many people." ”

"Then let's get out of here and catch some prey." Du Jiujiu said that he planned to go back.

Seeing this, An Cheng grabbed her and pointed to an inconspicuous small plaque not far in front, "Let's not come in vain, you see, there is a hardware store there, it is estimated that there will be a lot of metal, just enough to collect some alloys with high hardness and make you a new weapon." ”

"Well, that's fine!" Hearing about building weapons, Du Jiujiu was a little interested, and walked with An Cheng like that small storefront.

When he got closer, Du Jiujiu found that the store's roller shutter door was still very intact, and it looked a little out of place in a row of smashed doors.

Du Jiujiu just wanted to smash the door open, but was suddenly stopped by An Cheng.

"It's too loud and easy to attract strange beasts, so I'd better do it."

An Cheng seemed to be the nemesis of all kinds of doors, I saw her stretch out a palm and gently press it on the roller shutter door, and the metal roller shutter door extended on both sides according to her heart. In a short time, the small door inside was completely revealed in front of them.

After An Cheng melted the lock on the door, the two of them pushed the door and walked in.

This shop looks the same as it did from the outside, very small and cluttered. Since there were no windows in the walls, sunlight could only come in through the one-person-wide doorway, and the room was dim.

Since awakening the metal ability, An Cheng has had a strange sense with various metals. Just touch it with your fingertips, and you can clearly know its varieties and characteristics.

Although this shop is small, there are many types of metal products in it, and it takes a lot of time for An Cheng to find them one by one.

Du Jiujiu was bored on the sidelines, turned around and walked inside, thinking that he might be able to find something useful inside.

At the corner of the room, there was a dilapidated wooden door, Du Jiujiu gently pushed it, and the door only made a "squeak" sound, but it was not pushed open, as if it was blocked by something inside.

Du Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then increased the strength of his hand and slapped it hard. The wooden door fell in response, and for a moment dust was everywhere.

Under the light of a little dim light, Du Jiujiu found that it seemed to be a utility room, which was full of messy cardboard boxes, and at a glance, he knew that it contained the same goods as the outside.

Du Jiujiu was disappointed, and was about to leave to find An Cheng when he suddenly found a corner of his clothes peeking out from behind the box.

"There's someone here!" Du Jiujiu secretly became nervous in his heart, and immediately clenched the long knife in his hand and slowly walked inside.

When she walked over and saw the person hiding behind the cardboard box, she was shocked.

A dish-faced, emaciated little boy was curled up, staring at her in horror with large, black and white eyes.

The kid looked no more than seven or eight years old. It was hard for Du Jiujiu to imagine how such a young child could survive in such a post-apocalyptic world.

Seeing his frightened expression, Du Jiujiu hurriedly reacted, put down the long knife in his hand, and comforted him softly.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, my sister is not a bad person and will not hurt you."

After hearing Du Jiujiu's words, the child not only did not relax his vigilance, but trembled even more.

"What's wrong with Jiujiu? Who are you talking to? Hearing Du Jiujiu's voice at this time, An Cheng also walked over quickly.

After seeing the little boy, An Cheng's face also showed a look of shock, "This...... How can there be a child here?! ”

"Little brother, where are your mom and dad? Why are you the only one here? Du Jiujiu raised his head and exchanged glances with An Cheng, then slowly leaned over and asked softly.

The little boy did not speak, and the look of horror in his eyes had not faded. He just shook his head, and his body shrank back into the corner.

"Aren't your parents here?" Du Jiujiu saw him shake his head, and then asked.

This time, the little boy stared at her intently for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Why doesn't this kid speak, could it be that he is scared stupid? Jiujiu, I think we should go, if his parents knew that he was here, they would definitely find a way to come back to him. Seeing that he refused to speak, An Cheng couldn't help but be a little impatient, and he didn't care about looking for metal again, so he pulled Du Jiujiu and wanted to go out.

"I don't have mom and dad." At this time, the little boy actually spoke, his voice a little weak, but it was extremely cold. "They're long dead."

Du Jiujiu looked at his cold eyes, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart. What did this child go through, to have such a look at this originally innocent age.

"An Cheng, I'm ...... I want to take him away. An impulse suddenly surged into her heart, and Du Jiujiu felt that she had no way to let go of this child.

"Take him away?!" An Cheng originally wanted to leave quickly, but after hearing Du Jiujiu's words, his face was full of disbelief.

"Jiujiu, you have to think clearly, bringing him is not just an extra mouth to eat. Now we can't even guarantee our own safety, let alone a child! ”

"I know all of this, but ...... He's so young, if you leave him here alone, what's the difference between that and killing him? I...... It just can't be done. Du Jiujiu bit her lip, even if reason told her that it was very unwise to do so, she still couldn't give up.

An Cheng looked at the little boy again, and there was no trace of other emotion in his eyes except for the fear that had just faded.

"Jiujiu, you have to think about it carefully, although I don't want to have anything to do with him, but if you insist on taking him, I ...... will still respect your choice. ”

An Cheng ...... Thank you! Du Jiujiu looked at An Cheng and was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Then he looked down at the boy in the corner.

"Will you go with us?"

The little boy had just heard their conversation, and he looked at them both with a complicated expression. After a long while, he nodded slightly.

"My name is ...... Lin Haochen. ”
