Luo Yan is packing up the off-road vehicle. The two thieves left behind a complete set of tools. Otherwise, even if Luo Yan knew how to deal with them, he could only stare.
"Give me the wrench." Luo Yan shouted from under the car. The little girl obediently handed over a wrench.
Her name is An An, Xia An An. They are residents of a survivor camp not far from here. Little An'an is very smart and speaks in an organized manner.
Luo Yan chatted with her while repairing the off-road vehicle and roughly learned that they were captured this morning.
The other two boys called her sister. But they are not biological siblings, they are just about the same age and often play together in the camp.
Xia Anan is very strong and asks the two little guys to call her sister, and often orders the two little guys to do this and that.
At the same time, Xia Anan also fulfilled her responsibilities as a sister. Just like just now, she was still a child, but she was waving branches, trying to drive Luo Yan away.
Luo Yan admired her courage. For a little girl. This is rare.
"Okay." Luo Yan got out from under the car, wiped the oil stains on his face, fixed the motorcycle on the supercar, and got into the driver's seat.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." On the way.
"Sister An An, didn't you say there are a lot of delicious food outside?"
"You can't eat them in the camp."
"But it's not much better outside than our camp."
"You won't lie to us, will you?" A child with a round belly but small hands and feet said weakly. Xia An'an gently pinched the child's face and said, "Little Fatty Sun, how far have we come?"
"This world is huge. If you don't believe me, just ask this brother."
"Brother, brother, do you think so?"
"There's a lot of delicious food out there, right?"
"I remember before the natural disasters came, my father would take me to eat delicious food every Sunday."
"Ice cream, cake, fried chicken, chocolate."
"At that time, I looked forward to Sunday coming soon every day."
"At that time, I would always think that it would be better if I didn't have to study." As she spoke, the little girl's eyes dimmed.
"Now I don't have to go to kindergarten anymore."
"But we can no longer eat those delicious things." The two little boys behind you looked at me and I looked at you.
"Sister An'an, is ice cream that cold, sweet and delicious thing in the legend?" Xia Anan gave the two boys a sad look.
Then try to squeeze out a smile.
"Yes, when I grow up and can leave the camp."
"I'll go find some delicious food for you and bring them all back."
"What about ice cream and cake? You can eat whatever you want."
"Wow." Both boys drooled.
"Sister An An, is it true?"
"You won't lie to us, will you?" Another little boy with darker skin and a tiger-like head looked at Xia Anan with questioning eyes.
Boom. Xia Anan hit him on the head: "Wang Xiaohu, how dare you doubt me."
"I'm your sister!"
"I keep my word." Wang Xiaohu covered his head: "It hurts, Sister An An, we believe you are not good enough."
"Stop hitting me on the head. Mom said you can't hit me on the head. If you hit me too much, I will become stupid." Several little guys were chatting, and the topic began to turn into things like Sun Xiaopang's bed wetting last night.
Luo Yan smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared. There are countless children like Xia Anan and the others on the surface.
An older child like Xia Anan at least knows what the world was like before the natural disaster. In her heart, at least there is still a beautiful seed buried.
This seed will inspire her and become her motivation to explore the outside world. But for children like Sun Xiaopang and Wang Xiaohu, the world has been like this since they were sensible.
How sad. The hand holding the steering wheel tightened unconsciously. In the red eyes, I don't know whether it is sunlight or flames dancing.
The feeling of wanting to expel the giant beast from the surface became intense again in Luo Yan's heart.
At noon, Luo Yan saw a camp. The original site of the camp was a certain village before the natural disaster.
Although it is rural, it has been planned. The roads are wide and flat, and the houses are all three-story courtyards. There are shops and supermarkets in the village, and it looks very prosperous.
But now, nine out of ten rooms in the house are empty, and weeds and wildflowers have invaded the main road. In many abandoned courtyards, weeds grow as tall as a human being.
It was obviously daytime, but it was lifeless. Xia Anan stood up and pointed the way: "Now everyone lives in the village activity center area. There used to be a basement there for storing sundries."
"Dad and his friends have expanded the house in the past few years. Now every night, we spend the night underground."
"This year, every household of ours has its own house. Although it is underground, it is much better than before."
"I remember that in the beginning, all the uncles and uncles were crowded in the basement. When there were the most people, there was no place to stand." Luo Yan listened to Xia Anan's story while driving an off-road vehicle towards the activity center. .
Suddenly my heart moved. He hit the brakes. At this moment, figures rushed out of the small courtyards on both sides.
They were all men in their early forties, some holding iron bars and some holding hoes. Only two of them had guns in their hands, but they were both 54mm pistols. Even before the natural disaster, this type of pistol was almost eliminated.
But in this camp, they are the authority! It's the truth!
"Don't move!" The two men with guns pointed their guns at Luo Yan in a standard posture. If Luo Yan thought about it, both men would be dead in less than a second.
But Luo Yan did not move, and even raised his hands to show weakness, because he knew that these people should be residents of the camp.
In addition, the two men's guns were not pointing at his fatal parts, but at his arms. This is a subconscious action.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that before natural disasters, they should be law enforcers.
"Dad!" Xia Anan shouted to one of the men with a gun.
"Brother Luo is not a bad person, he saved me, Xiaopang and Xiaohu!"
"Little Tiger?"
"Where is my little tiger?" A woman pushed her way through the crowd with tears in her eyes.
"Mom!" Wang Xiaohu immediately jumped out of the car, threw himself at the woman, and hugged her together. The two gun-wielding men exchanged glances before putting down their guns.
Xia Anan's father stretched out his hand and forced a smile: "Sorry, I thought you were a human being."
"Since the New Year, our camp has lost several children one after another."
"An'an and the others are also missing today."
"Everyone is very anxious and are discussing looking for him outside the camp."
"I didn't expect you to send them back."
"Sir, please be sure to stay for a casual meal." Xia An'an also said, "Yes, Brother Luo."
"Just stay one night." Luo Yan nodded, not because of the meal. Rather, he was worried that the traffickers would come to retaliate against the camp at night.
So I decided to stay.
