Chen Erdong ignored the dog's barking and stepped back step by step with a gun. When he was about to walk out of the alley, a pair of green eyes flashed from the hole, and they were golden retrievers. He didn't pull the trigger the first time, but to see what it wanted. The dog slowly poked its head out of the hole, and when it saw Chen Erdong holding a gun at him, it was not afraid, nor did it react, but spit out the contents of its mouth and put it on the ground. The Golden Retriever nodded, and screamed "woo", as if motioning for him to come and have a look. Seeing that Chen Erdong was unmoved, the golden retriever had no choice but to retreat back to the entrance of the cave.

Seeing that the green light disappeared, Chen Erdong slowly stepped forward to the edge of the cave. He stared at the entrance of the cave for several minutes, and when he saw that there was really no movement inside, he slowly crouched down and picked up something on the ground. It's a photo frame, covered with saliva, huh~

Although the limbs are robotic arms, Chen Erdong still has some subconscious things in his mind. Holding the frame, he slowly retreated back to the alley. The frame was covered with a layer of gray sand, and he rubbed it briefly on his clothes, finally seeing the contents of the frame. In the photo, a little girl is holding a big golden retriever and smiling happily, looking like a little angel. A head of curly brown hair is scattered on both sides of his cheeks, and a pair of brown gems are set in his beautiful big eyes. Her nose is tall and straight, her nose is petite, and her facial features are very three-dimensional, if it weren't for the wheat-colored skin, she would really be a doll carved in pink. Those big eyes and long eyelashes are really pitiful for me. has been a noble son for more than ten years, and Chen Erdong has never seen a girl with such a face. In the photo, he looks like he is four or five years old, holding the dog in his arms, and his posture looks a little unnatural. If this was a photo taken ten years ago, the little girl would have been fourteen or fifteen by now.

The dog in the photo should be the golden retriever, so the little girl is under the garbage heap? Or is it still a trap?

After the cataclysm, many animals were also infected by nuclear radiation, and most of them died, but those that survived were more or less mutated. In the past ten years, Chen Erdong has seen a lot of strange beasts, large and small, including some animals with superior intelligence. Obviously, the direction of this dog's mutation should have a brain, which had to make him more vigilant.

Just as Chen Erdong was thinking, the golden retriever crawled out of the hole again. This time, it dropped what it was holding in its mouth and went straight back. Tsk, it's really fine! Chen Erdong followed the route just now and took the things back, which turned out to be a walkie-talkie. He wiped the saliva off the walkie-talkie, pressed the button, and there was a tearing sound inside.

"Stranger, are you still there?" A little girl's voice came over the intercom, and she didn't feel very old when she heard it. She spoke Sibian and seemed to be of mixed Sibian descent. It's just that the voice is very weak, revealing a sense of weakness.

After a period of silence, Chen Erdong decided to try to communicate, after all, after the cataclysm, there were not many humans left on the earth. Except for the various strongholds occupied by the thugs, there are really not many ordinary people scattered outside. Except for lone travelers like Chen Erdong, this silent world has long been the kingdom of animals. Humans can only live in a small bunker, surviving for a long time!

"Yes, who are you?"

In order to pick up girls, he studied Sibia for a period of time, and he can still do simple conversations.

"Uncle, help me! Please! As soon as someone responded, there was a cry of collapse on the other end of the intercom.

"Can you tell me if that dog is mutated?" Ignoring the little girl's request, Chen Erdong directly asked a question he wanted to know the most.

Hearing the question from the other side, the crying on the other end of the walkie-talkie gradually became quieter.

"Uncle, please don't kill Aurora, she's a good dog! She doesn't bite, really! The little girl pleaded, her voice full of exhaustion.

Chen Erdong's brain was running rapidly, trying to sort out the most authentic clues from the chaotic information. So far, he hadn't found any mutated animals that could speak. Although the monsters who have become spirits in the ancient mythology of China can speak, he doesn't even have a chance to escape when he encounters that kind of monster.

"How can you help you?" After being silent for a long time, Chen Erdong continued to ask.

"I'm hot all over now, like I've had a cold. Dad has eaten all the things left behind, and I'm the only one here, I'm so scared! ”

"Where's your dad?"

"I don't know, the last time he went out with Aurora, only she ran back, and Dad never came back."

Hearing the little girl's story, Chen Erdong hesitated. How did a little girl survive here for so long?

"Can you get out of it?" He asked tentatively.

"Uncle, my leg is paralyzed and I can't move." There was a little duffle in the girl's voice.

It was this low mood that reminded him of his helplessness and despair when he was seven years old. He understood the pain of not being able to move freely.

"Don't move yet, uncle, come down!"

After Chen Erdong finished speaking, he put away the pistol. He looked at the energy display on the robotic arm, and there were probably more than thirty percent of the energy in reserve. Tut! It looks like plans are about to change. He grabbed the wall and quickly climbed to the top. Looking at the sun just past the midline, I feel that the time has come. He made another round around to make sure that it was safe for the time being within a five-mile radius.

After landing, he took the walkie-talkie and continued, "Don't be afraid, kid! Uncle come in right away! ”

After saying that, he detoured to the front of the building, found the entrance and walked in. It's a restaurant, and the tables are lying crooked. The ground is covered with mud and looks like it has been soaked in rain for a long time. I don't know what material the floor is made of, and Chen Erdong doesn't have the heart to study it. A wall near the west side had collapsed, and construction debris was scattered outward. It has been confirmed inside and out, and it should be there. He continued to look around the house, eventually confirming that the entrance to the basement was blocked by the pile of garbage.

He walked over to the garbage dump and roughly judged the location. Two meters to the right from the garbage heap, he stretched out his hands to make a knife-like shape, and plunged his palms straight down into the brick joints. Then he slid his hands to the sides, cutting a one-meter-long slit in the wall. In the same way, he deducted two gaps on both sides of the gap, and finally formed a frame, like a door word. Fortunately, this wall is not too thick, and if you encounter the kind of place that makes a bank vault, there are also half a meter thick. In the end, Chen Erdong raised his foot and kicked it, and the wall fell down the crack, stirring up a pile of dust.

He covered his mouth and nose with his cloak and waved his arm to make the dust clear faster. Finally, a small house appeared in front of his eyes. It may not be accurate to say that the house is supposed to be a small compartment from the lobby to the basement. Turn on the light on your arm, and the small dust in the pillar of light flutters around like flying insects.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why is it so loud? The little girl's surprised voice came from the walkie-talkie, revealing a slight hint of fear.

"It's okay, Uncle opened the door and I'll see you soon."

After Chen Erdong finished speaking, he took a flashlight to shine on the small room. It is a two-square-meter space, less than a meter wide and more than two meters long. At the end of the right, on the side of the inner wall, there is a door. There was a one-foot-square hole under the door, which had been artificially cut. It should have been made by the people who lived in it later, and the edge of the hole was uneven, and the craftsmanship was really bad.

Chen Erdong took out his pistol and slowly leaned towards the door. So far, he hadn't seen the dog named Aurora appear in the doorway. In the distance, he took his flashlight and shone it into the doorway, which was a downward staircase, with a carpet spread on it, black and yellow, full of filth. This is supposed to be the passage to the basement.

"Are you in there?"

Chen Erdong shouted towards the entrance of the cave, and after a while, the girl's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie.

"Uncle, I'm inside, my voice is too small to get out."

Chen Erdong put on the night vision device, then kicked open the door and walked down the stairs step by step. On the left and right sides of the staircase are stone walls with yellowed wallpaper and a faint musty smell. The further down you go, the heavier the darkness becomes. There seemed to be a monster in front of him that devoured everything, constantly devouring the sun. Even with night vision, his eyes were still gray and white, and there was no living thing. Strange, where have all the rats run here? Although the small size of the mouse has no possibility of evolution, it will not completely disappear from human sight. He stopped, took a deep breath, and a damp breath came over his face. During this period, there is also a smell of red wine, is it a wine cellar underground? Chen Erdong raised the light on his arm and shone it forward, but the place two meters away was still blurry. This basement is so deep that it's no wonder it's been hidden for so long.

As he continued to descend, he felt his voice getting quieter and quieter, and even the slightest sound of footsteps would ripple in his heart. It's not good if it's too quiet, people will go crazy if they stay here for a long time, I hope the little girl's side is different from here. Finally, Chen Erdong walked down the stairs and stepped onto the floor. The ground here was full of water, and it was directly over his feet. If it was an ordinary mechanical limb, he should have been paralyzed on the ground at this moment, Chen Erdong thought for a while. The red wine barrel in front of him confirmed his suspicion, and it was indeed a wine storage room. Keeping it clean and fresh is the basic requirement for storage, and now that there is so much water on the ground, it may be that a water pipe has broken somewhere. Or perhaps, there are gaps in this hidden space, and water on the surface will accumulate here along the cracks.

"Kid, I'm already down, you make Aurora scream!" As soon as the words fell, a dog barked in the direction of the northeast corner ahead.

Following the voice, Chen Erdong stepped forward step by step. The red wine barrels here are quite intact, and he has a general look at the entire space, and there should be no signs of collapse. For a storage room of this size, the barrel cannot be easily damaged. It seems that someone did it on purpose, after all, the nose of the alien beast is extremely sensitive, and this is a dead place, once it is discovered, it will be completely finished. After turning a corner, he finally spotted two green lights hidden in the darkness, and when he looked closely, the outline of the dog appeared in view. In such a dim environment, I don't know how the little girl survived.

"I'm almost there, are you there?" He paused and asked tentatively forward.

"I'm here, uncle!" The little girl's faint voice came from ahead, and it seemed that the direction was correct.

Chen Erdong clenched the gun in his hand, shook his head, and continued to walk forward. There was a foul smell in the air, giving him a bad premonition. He continued to move forward without pausing, and finally found a man and a dog in the corner. Here is a one-meter-high wooden platform with a large bed on it. There was a little girl lying on the bed, and if it weren't for the fact that her big watery eyes were exactly the same as in the photo, he could hardly be sure that they were the same person. It was a little girl of eight or nine years old, with a dirty face and messy hair, and it was a little too much to say that she was a beggar. But if it's a refugee, it's not far off.

The light flashed, and the little girl turned her head to avoid the direct rays of the light. Although it was a faint light, it was still too dazzling for people who had been in the dark for a long time. Seeing this, Chen Erdong quickly turned off the lights. He took a closer look at the surroundings, and everything in the corner of the wall was in full view. At this time, the girl in the bed looked to his side, her big brown eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the dark. The golden retriever curled up beside the bed, and when he saw him approaching, he propped himself up in front of the girl's bed.

"How long have you been here alone?" Chen Erdong did not move forward further.

"It's like ten days, oh no, twenty days...... I don't know how long it has been, my dad won't take me up there, and I don't know how long it has been. ”

Hearing the girl say this, Chen Erdong felt very surprised. This little girl looks like she is eight or nine years old, could she have been born after the cataclysm?

"Are you going to come with me? Your dad may never come back. ”

Knowing that the girl had no ability to take care of herself, Chen Erdong asked. There was garbage scattered everywhere on the wooden platform, the most of which were tinplate canned food boxes and some instant noodle bags, which were scattered all over the place. On the shelves next to the bed, complete food packages can no longer be found. If she stays here any longer, the little girl will definitely not survive for a week. Although he has seen countless tragedies in the past ten years, Chen Erdong still maintains a good heart. If you can take a hand, you can take a hand, and it's a big deal to send her to that nearby human stronghold, which is also a merit.

"Not coming back?" As if she had only understood the news on the first day, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes at once, "I should have guessed it a long time ago, yes, Dad will never come back!" ”

At this point, Chen Erdong's vigilance has been lowered seventy percent. He didn't speak, just quietly watched the little girl in front of him sobbing softly, as if she wanted to vent all the negative emotions of so many days. When the little girl completely stopped crying, he asked again,

"So, will you come with me?"
