After hearing Jiang Baiyu's words, Xie Mingtang quickly stood up and listened to the sounds outside with concentration.
Sure enough, it seemed vaguely like a child was crying.
Based on past experience, this is definitely not a real child.
So Xie Mingtang closed his eyes while listening to the voice, and tested it first.
After discovering that the other party was not a zombie or a second-level mutant, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"I'll go take a look first, be careful." Xie Mingtang raised his legs and was about to go out.
Jiang Baiyu said to him: "Wait a minute and I will go with you."
Xie Mingtang frowned, not wanting Jiang Baiyu to take risks 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 child anymore, don't worry so much." Jiang Baiyu looked at Xie Mingtang with a smile.
The two of them carefully and slowly walked closer to the place where the crying came from and looked at each other.
It was an empty room, and the door wasn't even closed.
The little girl's cry was particularly harsh inside.
Jiang Baiyu clenched the long knife and pistol in his hands.
After entering the room, Jiang Baiyu and the others heard the crying stop suddenly.
Suddenly, both of them were on alert.
Xie Mingtang's eyes darkened, he looked around sharply, and then shouted: "Come out!"
In the darkness, a small shadow shrank, seemingly hesitating.
Jiang Baiyu raised his hand, pointed his gun at the figure, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't come out, I'll shoot right away!"
Since he can understand words, he is not a zombie or a mutant.
Jiang Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that neither Xie Mingtang nor Jiang Baiyu seemed to be easy to mess with, the figure finally walked 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 bit lovable, neither Xie Mingtang nor Jiang Baiyu let down their guard.
Xie Mingtang protected Jiang Baiyu and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
The little girl shook her head, then pointed to a room with a closed door and said, "Mom is sick, and dad is staying with her inside, 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 open the room, and a stench suddenly came from the door.
Two decomposed corpses lay on the bed, hugging each other tightly.
Xie Mingtang stepped forward and confirmed that these two sentences had turned into corpses and would no longer turn into zombies.
When he was about to leave, Xie Mingtang saw the envelope next to the body.
Holding the envelope, Xie Mingtang walked out and handed it to Jiang Baiyu.
Jiang Baiyu opened the letter, which contained the last words of the parents.
"Dear baby, mom and dad can't hold on any longer. Let's meet again in the next life."
Seeing this short line of words, Jiang Baiyu felt a little angry in his heart.
These parents are really too cowardly. They don't have the courage to face the doomsday world, and they don't have the courage to take their children away with them.
Let the child survive the apocalypse alone!
Jiang Baiyu immediately put the letter into his bag.
The little girl blinked and asked Jiang Baiyu: "Sister, was that written by my parents?"
"No, it's just some information." Jiang Baiyu denied the little girl's question.
She squatted in front of the little girl and looked at the little girl.
Although it is now nearly half a year after the apocalypse broke out, this little girl still looks clean, white and tender.
Presumably, her parents took good care of her before they despaired.
Jiang Baiyu sighed and glanced at Xie Mingtang.
Xie Mingtang shrugged and said, "If you want to take her with you, I have no objection."
That's what he said, but Jiang Baiyu still heard the suppressed unhappiness in Xie Mingtang's tone.
After all, if they take this little girl with them, they won't be able to enjoy their world together.
Jiang Baiyu smiled, pinched Xie Mingtang's face gently and said, "She is still young and ignorant, so you can pretend she doesn't exist."
However, although Jiang Baiyu was willing to save the little girl, she still respected the little girl's wishes.
She thought for a while and said to the girl: "Baby, your parents are dead. Now my sister gives you two choices. Leave with me and this brother, or I will leave you some living supplies and you can continue to stay here." Stay."
Probably this little girl reminded Jiang Baiyu of Gu Nian, so Jiang Baiyu couldn't bear it.
The girl blinked her eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.
Jiang Baiyu knew that this little girl definitely didn't understand everything.
At least she understood that her parents should have died long ago.
After a while, the little girl nodded and said to Jiang Baiyu: "Sister, I'm leaving with you and this brother, but can I bury my parents before leaving?"
"Of course." Jiang Baiyu nodded.
She and Xie Mingtang looked at each other and said nothing.
Just when Jiang Baiyu was about to take the little girl back to their resting place, the little girl grabbed Jiang Baiyu's clothes and whispered softly: "Sister, there is a group of people living here."
Jiang Baiyu's expression turned stern, and he squatted in front of the little girl and asked, "Where are they?"
The little girl pulled Jiang Baiyu's sleeve, came to the window, pointed to a window in the building opposite her, and said, "They are right there."
Jiang Baiyu looked at the tattered window. If it were him, he would never choose that place as a shelter.
She asked the little girl strangely: "How did you know there was someone there?"
The little girl said mysteriously: "I didn't know about it at first, but then my parents stopped coming out. I was afraid to sit next to the window. They would throw a bag of garbage down there at four o'clock every morning."
Hearing the girl's words, Jiang Baiyu glanced at the time.
It's about 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 saw a hand reaching out from the dilapidated window and throwing a bag of something 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 hissed, and then turned his head to look at the door of the room.
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door, which startled the little girl.
He threw himself into Jiang Baiyu's arms.
Jiang Baiyu held the little girl in his arms, stared coldly at the loud sound of the door, and glanced at Xie Mingtang.
Xie Mingtang quietly came to the back of the door.
