Chapter 2: Children

Cheng Ming took his daughter to walk cautiously on the dilapidated street, although it was a small county town, but the infrastructure is still very perfect, in this month, Cheng Ming has probably figured out the existing layout of the county through previous memories, but it has been a month, but Cheng Ming has never seen a living person.

Today, Cheng Ming's target is an underground supermarket in the center of the county, where they have been here several times, although the supermarket is big enough, but there are few supplies left, and it may have been robbed by local residents at the beginning of the catastrophe.

Going here today, Cheng Ming also wants to touch his courage again to see if he can find some food, and today is Kerr's birthday, Cheng Ming also wants to find out if there are any intact toys to give Kerr's birthday gifts.

Born in this period, it is really a child's misfortune, Cheng Ming sighed in his heart.

After walking for a while, Cheng Ming saw the destination this time, the central supermarket, he turned around and carried the backpack to his chest, and then carefully picked up Ke'er, the process was very smooth and quiet, without making a little noise.

After Cheng Ming did this, he carefully walked into the shopping mall above the supermarket, avoided all kinds of debris and falling objects that might make noise, and quietly came to the escalator entrance of the supermarket.

Cheng Ming did not go down directly from the escalator, but sat on the handrail of the escalator up and down and slid down slowly, because there were a lot of fallen bricks and debris on the escalator, and he was afraid that a person who accidentally touched the debris on the escalator would make a noise and attract alien creatures who didn't know where to hide.

It took about 2 minutes, Cheng Ming came to the underground supermarket without making any noise, he carefully put down Ke'er, whispered a few words to Ke'er, and led Ke'er into the supermarket.

The supermarket is full of messy packaging boxes, collapsed shelves, and all kinds of damaged or complete electrical appliances, and the world has suffered from this catastrophe, and electrical appliances have long been useless and discarded by people, and it is natural that they should be.

Cheng Ming came to the food section of the supermarket, looking at the empty shelves, a little annoyed, food is a necessity for people's livelihood, of course, there are not many things that can be left, when they came the first few times, they had already looted everything, and this time there was naturally nothing.

Just when Cheng Ming was disheartened, he suddenly found that Ke'er behind him didn't know when he was gone, Cheng Ming was instantly shocked into a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly ran to the road he came, looking around all corners as he ran, wanting to see if Ke'er was in which passage or corner.

But until Cheng Ming ran to the entrance of the supermarket, he didn't see Ke'er's figure, Cheng Ming was very anxious at this time, he was only left with Ke'er's relatives, if Ke'er was gone, Cheng Ming didn't know what the point of his life was.

At this moment, there was a very slight sound from the appliance area of the supermarket, like something falling, and like the sound of the door closing.

Cheng Ming hurriedly ran over to the sound, and saw that Ke'er was standing in front of a refrigerator in a daze, Cheng Ming ran over and hugged Ke'er, and pulled it tightly into his arms, for fear that as soon as he let go, Ke'er would disappear.

After hugging for a long time, Cheng Ming let go of his embrace, grabbed Ke'er's arm with both hands, and whispered.

"Don't run around next time, do you know how worried Dad is about you?"

As if she hadn't heard Cheng Ming's words, Ke'er broke free of Cheng Ming's hand, pointed to the refrigerator in front of her, and whispered.

"Dad, there's a kid here."

Children? Cheng Ming was a little blindsided for a while, what kind of child?

Seeing that Cheng Ming didn't react, Ke'er hurriedly pulled the door of the refrigerator, Cheng Ming hurriedly grabbed Ke'er when he saw this, and asked Ke'er seriously.

"You mean there's a kid in there?"

Ke'er nodded hurriedly, Cheng Ming was a little inexplicable, they had all been here for a month, and they hadn't seen a living person, how could there be a child here? But seeing that Kerr was very anxious, he had to protect Kerr behind him, and he cautiously approached the refrigerator and slowly opened the door of the refrigerator.

When Cheng Ming saw the inside of the refrigerator, he was also stunned, the drawer in the original freezer was long gone, at this time, a child was curled up in the freezer, a messy hair could not tell whether it was a boy or a woman, a pair of big eyes were looking at Cheng Ming in fear, and the two bare little feet were still shrinking inward.

Cheng Ming couldn't react for a while, but Ke'er had already run out from behind Cheng Ming at this time, ran to the door of the refrigerator and stretched out his hand to the child in the refrigerator.

Cheng Ming wanted to stop it, but at this moment, the child slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ke'er's little hand, and Cheng Ming's big hand stretched out to stop it, and it stopped in mid-air.

Cheng Ming sighed, looked at the child in the refrigerator and asked.

"What's your name, your mom and dad?"

Although the child held Ke'er's hand, he didn't mean to come out, as if he was afraid of Cheng Ming. Seeing this, Ke'er smiled and whispered to the child.

"Don't be afraid, this is my father, the best father in the world."

Cheng Ming's heart warmed by what his daughter said, and at the same time, the tension on his face eased a lot, and he also squeezed out a smile and looked at the child in the refrigerator.

The child in the refrigerator seemed to hesitate and waited for a long time before whispering.

"I~ My name is Lin Fan, my parents were captured by a big spider, and I hid in the refrigerator to escape."

Cheng Ming knew this in his heart, the big spider in the child's mouth is estimated to be one of the alien creatures, they have 6 sharp knife-like legs, covered with barbs, and their body shape is like a jujube pit, the size is only the size of an ordinary dining table, and the overall height is 3 meters away, the shape is very similar to a long-legged spider.

At the same time, these alien creatures are also the most numerous, they are like ordinary soldiers in the army, responsible for killing and capturing humans everywhere.

Cheng Ming asked again, "How long have you been hiding here?" ”

Maybe it was holding Ke'er's hand that made him feel a lot more at ease, or maybe it was seeing that Cheng Ming really had no malicious intent, the child heard Cheng Ming's question and immediately answered.

"It's been a long, long time, you've been here a few times, and I've seen them all, and when I saw you coming, I hid, and I was accidentally discovered by you today."

Cheng Ming was shocked, they had been to this supermarket on the first day they came here, which means that this child has been living alone in this supermarket for at least more than a month. So what did he survive on his own?

The child was very smart, looked at Cheng Ming's puzzled eyes, and hurriedly said.

"Mom and Dad have stocked up on food for us, and I'll take you there."

As he spoke, he quickly got out of the refrigerator and pulled Ke'er to run to the depths of the supermarket, and Cheng Ming hurriedly followed when he saw this.
