"Kiki, see what's in my hand?"

In a relatively remote corner of the playground of the welfare home. Dressed in a white pleated dress, Meiling happily ran to Maggie's side and spread her hands.

Maggie didn't speak, but sat alone on a rusty swing with her head down, her white dress was dirty in many places, the originally neat ponytail was scattered on her shoulders at this time, and the leather bands that bound her hair had long since disappeared.

Seeing Meiling running over, Meiqi just glanced up slightly, and then lowered her head again, afraid that her sister would be angry if she found out.

"Kiki, who bullied you, tell me, I'll go find them!"

Although Meiling is young, she grew up in a welfare home since she was a child, has a tough personality, and is much more mature than children of the same age, and she has a younger sister who needs to be taken care of by her sister. Mei Ling had already noticed that something was wrong with her sister, put the lollipop in her hand on another swing, came to Mei Qi's side, and held Mei Qi's face with both hands.

The moment Meiling saw Meiqi's face, she was first surprised, then angry, and finally pity. Because at this time, Maggie's face was blue and purple, some blood oozed from the wounds on her white arms, her clothes were tattered, and her two small hands were dirty. Meiling didn't dislike her sister at all, but hugged Maggie and let Maggie cry in her arms.

Meiqi seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions, snuggled in Meiling's arms and cried loudly, she was so aggrieved, this white dress was lent to her by her sister to wear, and it became like this in less than half a day. And it's not once or twice already. There is a group of older children in the welfare home, who have lacked discipline since childhood, and over time they have ganged up to bully weak girls like Maggie.

Maggie didn't dare to tell her sister, for fear that her sister would be angry, so she endured it silently all the time. Today, I happened to be seen by Meiling, so I had this scene just now.

"Kiki, don't cry, my sister gave you this."

Meiling didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to put the strawberry-flavored lollipop on the swing next to her in Meiqi's hand so that she wouldn't cry anymore.

Maggie looked at the lollipop with her big watery eyes, and after taking it with her hand, she slowly stopped crying.

"Now tell my sister, are you the ones who often bully people?"

Meiling saw that Meiqi's mood was a little stable, so she asked as she got off the donkey.

Maggie no longer hidden, and nodded heavily.

"Kiki is not afraid, you eat the lollipops first, and I'll take you to clean them up after eating."

Meiling was not afraid to boast to Meiqi.

It's too late to hide from them, and when she hears that she has to take the initiative to find them, Maggie's big eyes are full of horror. I was bullied by those boys just now, how can I dare to go to them again?

"Kiki, don't be afraid, they are bullying honest children, see if I don't beat them all!"

Meiling said indignantly.

After eating the lollipop, Meiling took Maggie's little hand and looked around the welfare home for the bully children. Finally, they were found under a large poplar tree to the left of the playground dormitory building.

"Hey, you guys, did you bully my sister just now?"

Meiling doesn't talk nonsense and goes straight to the point.

Several children were stunned, but they didn't expect that someone in the welfare home would be found after being bullied by them.

"Yes, it's bullying her, what's wrong?"

One of them, a chubby-looking boy who was originally squatting on the ground and playing with mud, asked arrogantly towards Meiling.

"What? Beat you up, of course! ”

Meiling didn't say a word and started fighting directly. Don't look at Meiling, she looks skinny, but it's really scary to start being ruthless. With just one ruthlessness, three punches and two kicks knocked the child king down. Before the other children could react, the fat boy had been beaten to a bare ass.

Lying on the ground, he begged for mercy again and again.

The children next to him were all scared silly. The "big brother" was beaten down, where have they seen this battle? They all stood beside each other, their legs shaking like chaff.

Maggie has been hiding behind Meiling during this time, covering her eyes with her hands while secretly peeking through her fingers at everything that is happening in front of her.

The child Wang lay on the ground and cried, and even his pants were ripped off by Meiling. His hair was messy and his clothes were out of style.

"You didn't bully her just now!"

Seeing that the "big brother" on the ground had no ability to resist, Meiling turned around and asked viciously to the frightened children.

"No, no, he did it..."

"Yes, yes, it's all him, it's all him..."

The children hurriedly cleared up the relationship, and said that they had never bullied Maggie, and it was all done by the "big brother".

"The next time you dare to bully someone, I'll break your legs!"

Meiling threatened again.

Several children nodded as if chickens were pecking rice, and then left Meiling's line of sight.

"Okay, you see, I've cleaned it up, right?"

Meiling returned to Maggie and said to her sister with a smile. Then she took Maggie's hand and strode away.

Since then, no one dares to provoke Maggie, and the two sisters have spent a few years of happiness.

-------------

"At that time, I was really happy, and my sister would secretly leave me with anything delicious and good to wear. I didn't feel lonely at all. But.. But when we reunited at Paula, everything changed. She seemed to have become a different person, very cold, indifferent to everything, and even cold to me. At that time, I felt that the whole world was far away from me, and every night I secretly hid under the covers and cried, hoping that my sister would change back to what she used to be. But until now, my sister is still the same..."

With that, Meiqi's tears quietly slipped from the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe your sister has some trouble? After all, she joined the company a few years before you. Besides, isn't that still me? And the general and the cerebellar axe! Checkmate! What are you doing in a daze? Come here and coax..."

I quickly rummaged through my backpack for tissues and handed them to Maggie, and "threatened" the general to come and comfort Maggie with me.

The general gave me a blank look, then slowly walked up to Maggie, stretched out his front paws and put them on Maggie's legs, which meant to comfort Maggie. The cerebellar axe no longer slept, reaching out its furry little paws, constantly rubbing against Maggie's knees.

"Huh.. What are you guys? Combo? ”

When Maggie saw the appearance of the general and the cerebellar axe, she finally burst into tears and laughed.

"Uh... Combination? A legend of the end of the world? ”

I grinned.

"Woohoo!"

"Meow meow meow!"

As soon as I had finished these four words, the General and the Civet Axe each let out four cries belonging to their species.

"They seem to like this combination! A doomsday saga? ”

"Woohoo!"

"Meow meow meow!"

Maggie tentatively said again, but the two guys also repeated the cry just now.

"It's amazing! It can't be that mutant cells have evolved IQ in your head, right? ”

I was very surprised and slapped the general on the ass.

"Meow!"

The cerebellar axe was once again in front of the general.

"Uhhhhhh

The general also put on pity at the right time!

"You kid..."

I wanted to pat the general's ass again, but the cerebellar was staring at me with his teeth bared, so I had to give up. It seems that I really can't just bully the general anymore in the future!

"It looks like Paula

It's so much more powerful than it looks on the surface. What the hell are these madmen going to do, are they really going to exterminate humanity? But why is that? What is the purpose of this? ”

When the topic came back, Maggie and I fell silent.

Paula's plan is a mystery. We seem to be walking behind their plans every time, and we can't figure out the thinking of the company's head "Boss Zuo". This makes me feel very depressed. Also, judging from the brief conversation on the intercom, it seems that the capital is still a safe place...

"Let's rest, I don't think about it so much, I can't figure out what they're going to do when I think about it."

I collapsed on the simple "bed" and closed my eyes, trying not to think about the troublesome things, but these questions were like a virus, deeply implanted in my brain...

Zhao Shengtian's room next door.

"Hanhan, aren't you an employee of Paula's company? Can you tell me about what you know? ”

Zhao Shengtian was also lying on the bed, chatting with Ruohan.

"Actually, I don't know a lot, I've only been in the company for more than a year, and I've been working as an assistant by the doctor's side, sorting out some scientific research data and taking care of the doctor every day."

Ruohan said he didn't know anything deeper.

"In this way, did you notice that something was wrong with Paula's company when you were working, or any unusual behavior?"

Zhao Shengtian asked again.

"I really don't know about this, I feel that Paula is very mysterious, everything is divided into details, and there is basically no communication between employees, maybe this is what I feel strange."

Ruohan said after thinking for a while.

"Hmph, Paula's company, I knew that Lao Tzu would take his brothers over to give them a nest, and they would be saved from making such a thing."

Zhao Shengtian regretted it a little.

But even if he did it all over again, he was not qualified to go directly to Paula's company to do things.

"Ah Tian, you should rest early, there is still a wound on your back."

Ruohan said softly, and then blew out the candle.

Dabin's room

"Wife, do you think I'm in a den of thieves?"

Dabin was a little discouraged.

"What den of thieves?"

Fei Fei didn't understand what Dabin meant.

"I work at Paula."

Dabin explained.

"What do you say? You're an upright person, you haven't been in the same league as Paula, and you haven't done anything bad, so don't think about it. ”

In this kind of major matter, Fei Fei's attitude is surprisingly good.

"Eh, daughter-in-law, discuss something with you, can you open a small stove for me next time you cook, I want to eat something delicious."

Dabin suddenly said cheaply, no longer the depressed appearance just now.

"What do you think? I'm not that kind of person. Besides, the food is good enough, what else do you want to eat, Manhan Xi? ”

Fei Fei glanced at Dabin, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.

"Hehe, daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I'm not joking."

Dabin grinned and pressed his body against Fei Fei's back.

"Be honest with your hands, hurry up and go to sleep!"

The candles went out in Dabin's house.

Lao Liu and Zhou Ping's room

"Xiao Zhou, how long do you think we can live?"

Lao Liu had an injury to his back and could only lie on the bed. The dull pain in his back made him a little sleepless.

"I don't know, let's take one step at a time, I feel like we're lucky enough, how many people don't even have a place to lie down now, and they have to starve, look at us again, there is food and shelter, and two chefs, don't be too happy, okay?"

After that, Zhou Ping directly extinguished the candle and fell asleep.

Xiao Wang's room

Xiao Wang's room was dark, and he seemed to have fallen asleep...
