Chapter 116: Cowardice
Hearing Jiang Baiyu's words, Xie Mingtang quickly stood up and listened attentively to the sounds outside.
Sure enough, there was a faint cry of a child.
Based on past experience, this is definitely not really a child.
So Xie Mingtang closed his eyes when he heard the voice, and first tested it.
Finding out that the other party was not a zombie or a second-level variant, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"I'll go take a look first, you be careful." Xie Mingtang raised his leg and was about to go out.
Jiang Baiyu said to him: "Wait for me to go with you." ”
Xie Mingtang furrowed his brows, not wanting Jiang Baiyu to go on an adventure with him.
But Jiang Baiyu's eyes were very firm.
So Xie Mingtang could only sigh, and then said to Jiang Baiyu: "Then you must follow me." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a kid anymore, don't worry so much." Jiang Baiyu looked at Xie Mingtang with a smile.
The two of them cautiously and slowly walked closer to the place where the cry came from and looked at each other.
It was an empty room, and it wasn't even closed.
The little girl's cry was particularly piercing inside.
Jiang Baiyu clenched the long knife and pistol in his hand.
After entering the house, Jiang Baiyu and the others stopped abruptly when they heard the crying.
Suddenly, both of them raised their vigilance.
Xie Mingtang's eyes darkened, and he looked to his side violently, and then shouted, "Come out!" ”
In the darkness, a small shadow shrank, as if hesitating.
Jiang Baiyu raised his hand, pointed the gun at the figure, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't come out again, I'll shoot immediately!" ”
Since it can understand words, it is not a zombie or a mutant.
Jiang Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Xie Mingtang and Jiang Baiyu didn't look like they were to be messed with, the figure finally came out of the darkness.
It looked like a little girl about the same age as Gu Nian.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
Although they looked a little cute, Xie Mingtang and Jiang Baiyu did not let down their vigilance.
Xie Mingtang stood in front of Jiang Baiyu and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" Why are you alone here? What about your parents? ”
The little girl shook her head, then pointed to a room with a closed door and said, "Mommy is sick, and Dad is in with her, but they haven't come out for a long time." ”
Jiang Baiyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Mingtang.
Xie Mingtang immediately stepped forward and pushed the room open, and a foul smell suddenly came from inside the door.
Two decomposing corpses, lying on the bed, hugged each other tightly.
Xie Mingtang stepped forward and confirmed that these two sentences had become corpses and would not be zombies again.
Just as he was about to leave, Xie Mingtang saw the envelope next to the corpse.
Holding the envelope, Xie Mingtang walked out and handed it to Jiang Baiyu.
Jiang Baiyu opened the letter, and it was a masterpiece of the parents.
"Dear baby, Mom and Dad can't hold on, let's see you in the next life."
Seeing this short line of words, Jiang Baiyu's heart was a little angry.
This pair of parents is really too cowardly, they don't have the courage to face the apocalyptic world, and they don't have the courage to take their children away with them.
Let the child survive alone in the apocalypse!
Jiang Baiyu immediately put the letter in his bag.
The little girl blinked her eyes and asked Jiang Baiyu, "Sister, did my parents write it?" ”
"No, it's just some information." Jiang Baiyu denied the little girl's questioning.
She crouched in front of the little girl and looked at the little girl.
Although it has been nearly half a year since the outbreak of the apocalypse, this little girl still looks clean and white.
Presumably, before her parents despaired, they also took good care of her.
Jiang Baiyu sighed and glanced at Xie Mingtang.
Xie Mingtang shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to bring her with you, I have no opinion." ”
Saying so, Jiang Baiyu still heard it, and Xie Mingtang's tone suppressed unhappiness.
After all, if they take this little girl with them, they won't be able to enjoy the world of two.
Jiang Baiyu smiled, gently pinched Xie Mingtang's face and said, "She is still young and ignorant, so she can be treated as if she doesn't exist." ”
However, although Jiang Baiyu was willing to save the little girl, she still respected the little girl's intentions.
She thought for a moment and said to the girl: "Baby, your parents are dead, and now my sister gives you two choices, leave with me and this brother, or I will leave you a little living supplies, and you continue to stay here." ”
It was probably this little girl who reminded Jiang Baiyu of Gu Nian, so Jiang Baiyu was a little unbearable.
The girl blinked, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Baiyu knew that this little girl definitely didn't understand anything.
At least she understands that her parents should have died long ago.
After a while, the little girl nodded and said to Jiang Baiyu: "Sister, I will leave with you and this brother, but can I bury my parents before leaving?" ”
"Absolutely." Jiang Baiyu nodded.
She and Xie Mingtang glanced at each other and did not speak.
Just as Jiang Baiyu was about to take the little girl back to their resting place, the little girl grabbed the corner of Jiang Baiyu's clothes and whispered, "Sister, there are still a group of people living here." ”
Jiang Baiyu's expression froze, squatted in front of the little girl, and asked, "Where are they?" ”
The little girl tugged at Jiang Baiyu's sleeve, came to the window, pointed to a window in the building opposite her, and said, "They are there." ”
Jiang Baiyu looked at the window that was a little tattered, if it was him, he would definitely not choose that place as a shelter.
She asked the little girl a little strangely, "How do you know that there is someone there?" ”
The little girl said mysteriously: "I didn't know at first, but then my parents didn't come out, and I was scared and sat by the window, and they would throw a bag of garbage down at four o'clock in the morning every day." ”
Hearing the girl's words, Jiang Baiyu glanced at the time.
It's now past 3:50 in the morning.
It's almost four o'clock in the morning as the girl said.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Baiyu really saw a hand stretched out from the dilapidated window and threw a bag of things down.
The whole process takes no more than three seconds.
Jiang Baiyu narrowed his eyes, and when he was about to speak, Xie Mingtang suddenly sighed, and then turned his head to look at the door.
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door, startling the little girl.
threw himself into Jiang Baiyu's arms.
Jiang Baiyu hugged the little girl, stared coldly at the door that was slapped, and glanced at Xie Mingtang.
Xie Mingtang quietly came to the back of the door.
