Doomsday Club

The attack from the darkness was easily blocked by Xu Nuo, with far less force than expected.

Reflexively turning around to retaliate, Xu Nuo subconsciously controlled some of his strength.

The knife in their hands stopped in front of the attackers; they finally saw who had attacked them.

A little girl?

He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and small, and his whole body was dirty.

Her large, watery eyes stared in terror at the dagger in front of her, and her whole body trembled with fear.

The little girl bit her lower lip hard, subconsciously looking at the wooden stick that had just been knocked away.

She didn't know what these three strangers wanted to do by barging into her house, but her mother had told her that if anyone came in, she should hit them hard on the head with a wooden stick.

Unfortunately, she messed it up.

Standing there helplessly, she had no idea what awaited her next.

"It's just a little kid."

Xu Nuo looked at the other person clearly and said something as if talking to himself.

However, they did not put away their weapons; the three of them remained fully alert and vigilant against any potential dangers around them.

This is a common tactic used by post-apocalyptic rats.

Send out children to gain the sympathy of others, and then launch a sneak attack when the other party lowers their guard.

He was tricked to death by this tactic when he first traveled through time.

There's no one else.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Lao Wang naturally knew the ins and outs of the matter. After carefully investigating the surrounding environment, they returned and spoke to Xu Nuo.

"Nobody here?"

Xu Nuo put away his weapon and looked at the little girl in front of him with a surprised expression.

How could a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl survive in this godforsaken place without anyone protecting her?

"Little sister, are you all alone here?"

Where are your family members?

Xu Nuo bent down and spoke in as kind a tone as possible, "Don't be afraid, we're not bad people."

He did not answer him.

After seeing Xu Nuo put away the dagger, the little girl ran to pick up the wooden stick.

Gripping the wooden stick tightly, she stared warily at Xu Nuo with a tense little face, looking like a stray cat with its fur standing on end.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Just as Xu Nuo was wondering what to do, Lin Xiaoxiao took out a bag of small bread from her pocket and threw it at the little girl.

"Eat."

The little girl was clearly hungry. After hearing this, she cautiously shuffled forward two steps, picked up the small bread, and took a big bite.

After failing, he looked up blankly at Lin Xiaoxiao not far away.

"You have to tear open the packaging before you can eat it."

Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and made a gesture as if she were tearing open a package with her teeth.

The little girl followed suit, tearing open the packaging and being greeted by the aroma of the bread.

Although this stuff has long expired, in a post-apocalyptic environment, food with preservatives and vacuum packaging is a rare and precious resource.

Not to mention, this stuff smells sweet and delicious.

Eating one immediately restores 5 points of sanity and 5 points of satiety.

After wolfing down the small bread that Lin Xiaoxiao threw to her, the little girl looked up at them and her eyes were no longer as hostile as before.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"Where are your family members?"

Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, her tone unusually gentle.

Her gentle demeanor made even the honest Old Wang take notice.

He had never met Lin Xiaoxiao from twenty years ago, so his impression of Lin Xiaoxiao was always that of a foul-mouthed, irritable female warrior.

"My name is Alin."

After hesitating for a moment, Ah Lin finally spoke up for the sake of Little Bread: "Mom is sleeping."

Hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's easier if there are adults around.

He's really not good at dealing with children.

"Where is your mother? Can you take us to see her?"

Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Xu Nuo's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.

The little girl nodded.

He turned around and jogged off into the depths of the room.

"Mom, someone's here!"

She was very familiar with the abandoned building and could walk briskly without even needing lighting.

They were promised to follow her until they arrived at a room.

It's about 70 square meters, and there's a photo of a young couple hanging on the wall.

The two of them looked at the camera, smiling happily.

Following Ah Lin into the room and into the bedroom, the sight inside made his pupils shrink sharply.

Inside the room, a corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time lay on the bed.

Ah Lin was shaking the corpse and calling out to her mother, trying to wake her up.

She was too young to know what death meant.

I just thought Mom was asleep, but this time she slept for a very, very long time.

"Mom, someone's here."

Ah Lin sounded happy: "They're good people; they gave Ah Lin some really delicious stuff."

But her mother never responds...

"Let's not disturb Mom's sleep."

Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Alin out of the room, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber as she looked at the somewhat disappointed little girl.

"I'll go and invite Mingyue in."

Old Wang couldn't stand it, so he made an excuse and turned to leave the room.

Only the three of them remained in the room.

Ah Lin's mother had been dead for who knows how long, no wonder this little girl made herself look so pitiful, no wonder she was the only one who came out with a broken wooden stick when danger struck.

"How brave! You're protecting your mom!"

Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Alin to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Xiaoxiao praise her.

It raised its little head with a smug look, making a satisfied humming sound.

Xu Nuo leaned against the door frame, looking at A Lin in front of her with a complicated expression.

To be fair, this is just another cycle.

He was going to Harbin to investigate the other side of the river, and he shouldn't have meddled in other people's business at all.

But if we just leave this little girl here alone, she will almost certainly die.

They might be killed by other survivors next time they encounter them, or they might starve to death.

"This is fucking ridiculous..."

Xu Nuo clicked his tongue, glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and A Lin on the sofa, and turned to leave the room.

the next day.

As the sun was just setting, the vehicle was restarted and set off again.

This time, however, there was an annoying little girl in the car.

Now that I've already encountered this situation, I can't just stand by and watch someone die.

This is just a cycle, and next time everything will be back to normal.

But if he just stood by and watched her stay here to die, how would he be any different from those beasts on the other side who disregard human life?

He's just a child.

An innocent and kind child.

"Mommy is going to sleep for a very, very long time."

"I've talked to my mom, and she said to let Ah Lin come with us for now."

Lin Xiaoxiao magically produced a small loaf of bread and, through a combination of coaxing and deception, got Alin into the car.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo suddenly felt more relaxed than ever before.
