I have a city in another world

Chapter 6937 The Worrying Little Girl
Tang Zhen led the girl out of the house, which reeked of corpses.

When he arrived in the hall, he found the residents gathered together, discussing whether to go to the temple for protection.

They couldn't see Tang Zhen, only a dirty little girl who looked at everyone with timid eyes.

"Does anyone know this child? Whose child is this?"

One person asked a question in confusion, which drew the attention of everyone present.

"I know."

A haggard-looking woman responded, saying to the crowd, "She is my neighbor. Her parents should be dead, because I smelled the stench of corpses."

To my surprise, the child is still alive.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood, and their initial worries lessened somewhat.

Knowing their origins is enough; what I fear most is that their identities are unknown, endangering the lives of many.

This also proves that no one entered the house to check after the girl's parents died.

Given the current dangerous environment, it's understandable that people are being cautious, since this infection is irreversible and there's no cure once it's discovered.

The only option is to eliminate them in advance to avoid causing greater risks.

The girl followed her parents' instructions and remained silent, which led to a misunderstanding among the neighbors.

They mistakenly believed that the entire family of three had perished in the disaster.

Upon learning the girl's identity and background, some people sighed softly, some cursed, and most remained silent.

The perilous environment caused them immense suffering, and they had no idea what tomorrow would bring.

What I desire most now is to find a safe place where I can ensure the safety of myself and my family.

However, the monsters on the street prevented everyone from leaving, leaving them trapped inside the buildings and suffering greatly.

For some time now, residents have been unable to sleep at night, taking turns guarding the entrance to the building.

They feared that the monster would break through the gate, rush into the building, and slaughter all the survivors.

Even if someone is lucky enough to escape this calamity, their future will surely be filled with hardship.

Until the problem is solved, all we can do is wait and endure the torment, second by second.

“If any of you have children, take her home and care for her. The food she consumes can be taken from public resources.”

The man who gave the order was probably the leader chosen by the crowd, and his words carried a certain degree of authority.

The group exchanged glances, and soon a woman stepped forward, offering to help look after the child.

The woman walked towards the girl, intending to take her home, but the girl unexpectedly dodged to the side.

"Don't be afraid, baby. Auntie has older sisters and younger brothers at home too. You can play together."

The woman smiled and reached out her hand, offering gentle words of comfort, her expression tinged with pity and heartache.

She felt sorry for the little girl, but also worried about her own children. What would happen to her young children if she died?
The girl made a gesture of avoiding being cuddled, while peeking out to look around, her expression clearly showing wariness.

This was an unconscious action, but to others, it seemed very strange.

It was as if there was an invisible adult in front of the girl, and the girl was hugging the other person's legs.

The already tense crowd suddenly stiffened, and the way they looked at the girl changed.

The little girl, who was originally harmless and evoked pity, now filled everyone with fear.

Residents who were near the girl even instinctively stepped back, fearing she might pose a threat.

In today's chaotic environment, anything can happen, and you have to be extra careful if you want to live longer.

No one would naively believe that a young child would not cause them harm; once a child acquires extraordinary power, they could even kill a strong man instantly.

The seemingly strong man actually has many fatal weaknesses. He can be easily killed by hitting these weaknesses or by using poison or other methods.

The girl in front of us lives in the same room as her parents who died from mutations. It's hard to guarantee that some unknown mutations won't occur to her.

At that moment, someone else quietly gripped a gun in their hand and aimed it at the girl's body.

In the event of any abnormal situation, they will immediately open fire and kill the target. This is a necessary choice to ensure the safety of more people, even if the target is just a child.

After all, once it mutates, it can no longer be considered human.

The little girl was quite perceptive and immediately noticed the change in everyone's emotions, so she hid even more carefully.

The group was finally able to confirm that the girl seemed to be relying on someone, someone they couldn't see at all.

The leader's expression was grave as he asked cautiously, "My darling, who are you with?"

Out of caution, the leader did not order an attack, but instead decided to test the waters first.

They were afraid of making the wrong decision and harming other residents.

Everyone held their breath and watched the little girl silently, as if awaiting a verdict.

The girl looked up and glanced upwards, seemingly seeking advice.

His posture and movements once again confirmed everyone's suspicions that there was indeed an unseen entity.

After a few seconds, the girl lowered her head, seemingly having received a clear response.

"It's Uncle, I want to leave with Uncle."

The girl spoke cheerfully, unaware that the "uncle" she mentioned filled everyone with dread.

They stared intently, trying to find any suspicious clues, but to no avail.

"Let her go."

Suddenly, someone spoke up, offering advice in an anxious tone, wanting to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

They didn't care at all what the girl had gone through or whether she would face danger after going out.

They were filled with anxiety because they knew that the girl's presence here would pose a threat to them.

In such a critical moment, the first priority is to ensure one's own safety and stay away from danger as much as possible.

Most of the residents clearly supported this action and were eager to send the girl away immediately.

Some residents felt pity for the girl but dared not offend the public by trying to keep her, fearing there might be real risks involved.

The leader clenched his teeth and waved his hand forcefully.

"Open the door."

The burly men guarding the gate immediately removed the obstructions and opened the reinforced, heavy iron gate.

In the past, they certainly wouldn't have dared to open the door easily, because monsters were constantly circling and spying.

Tang Zhen killed the monster, and the entrance became quiet, which relieved everyone.

Although monsters will definitely reappear soon, at least for now we don't have to be on edge.

But when people see that small figure walking alone towards the gate to face the rampaging monster, they always feel it's absurd and unbearable.

They couldn't help but wonder if the child had suffered a severe shock, which was why he was behaving so strangely.

If that's the case, wouldn't the girl be courting death by going out alone on the street?

Although everyone has experienced a series of changes during this period, they have long been accustomed to life and death and separation.

But the little girl's appearance still evoked pity and sorrow, stirring up too much reluctance in one's heart.

The woman who was about to take the girl home finally couldn't help but speak up, shouting at the girl, "Child, don't go. It's so chaotic outside, where can you go?"

"Be good, go to your aunt's house. As long as there's food to eat, you won't go hungry."

Someone widened their eyes and immediately spoke up to refute.

"That won't do. Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

The frightened residents dared not take any risks, even if the other party was a young child.

The girl turned around and smiled at everyone, saying, "Don't worry, I'm going to the safe zone of the temple. My uncle said anyone who wants to go can come with me."
