Infinite: From the Resident Evil

Seeing Alice suddenly stand up and call for her mother, Shen Ye forced the still excited Marlene to stay down, but the little girl still mischievously stretched her neck and shouted to Amina over Shen Ye's shoulder: "Aunt Amina, is the delicious food ready?"

"Of course, we're just waiting for you to come and taste it." Amina said and winked at her.

Although Alice's house is not big, it has everything it needs. Even though the dining table looks small, it can just seat four people.

When Shen Ye and Marlene sat down, Amina and Alice brought the food to them.

The food was very rich. It was not just the hot soup, bread and fried eggs that Marlene had mentioned, but also salad, fried steak and of course sweet sauce for spreading on the bread.

Shen Ye knew that Alice's family was not well off, otherwise she wouldn't have worked so hard to sell flowers, so Amina had done her best for this meal.

"Eat quickly." Seeing that Shen Ye hadn't started yet, Amina thought that Shen Ye was not used to the food and asked, "Are you not used to it?"

"No." Shen Ye shook his head, picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the bowl and took a big sip of soup, and then he was amazed by the delicious taste of the soup.

After quickly finishing the bowl of soup, Shen Ye raised the bowl and shouted, "Can I have another bowl?"

"Of course." Amina nodded with a smile, took the bowl and handed it to Alice.

"Go ahead, give him another bowl."

……

After dinner, Shen Ye held Malin, who was already drowsy from eating too much, and sat on the sofa, watching the program on the obviously old TV.

To be honest, the quality of life of civilians in Midgar is really poor, and the few TV programs that can be received in the slums seem unattractive.

Of course, it could also be because of this TV. After Shen Ye changed several channels, he could no longer find any new channels.

Shen Ye watched TV for a while out of boredom. Little Malin in his arms had already fallen asleep. At this time, Amina came over, glanced at Malin, and asked in a low voice: "Is she asleep?"

"Yeah, she slept very deeply this time." Shen Ye remembered that when he first met Marlene, she woke up when he moved a little.

Emina nodded and picked up little Marlene, "I'll take her to sleep in my room. When Alice is done, she'll take you to bed."

"Thank you." Shen Ye nodded to Amina.

After sitting and watching TV for a while, Alice finally came back after finishing her work.

"Did Mom take Marlene to bed?" She asked casually when she didn't see Marlene.

Shen Ye nodded and said, "She asked you to take me to where I sleep."

"Come with me, up there." Alice pointed upwards.

After saying that, she took Shen Ye up the wooden stairs and came to the mezzanine above the house.

The space in the mezzanine is not as big as the space below and is also relatively low, but at least it allows Shen Ye to stand up straight, which is good news.

"Here, you can live in this room." Alice opened a small room and said to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye went in and took a look. It was very simple, with basically no decoration, but it was very clean and must have been cleaned regularly.

"Not bad, I like smaller spaces and this place suits me very well." Shen Ye said.

"That's good, I knew you weren't a picky person." Alice smiled, then took out a quilt from the largest of the few cabinets in the room and skillfully spread it on the wooden bed.

"Okay, done."

After making the bed, Alice tried sitting on it to feel its comfort. Then she wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work, Alice." Shen Ye did not hesitate to give his praise.

"You're welcome, Shen. After all, you brought my mother back. This is what I should do." Alice supported herself on the bed with her hands, looked at Shen Ye, and said while shaking her legs.

Then she stood up and said to Shen Ye, "It's late. I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Shen Ye waved at her.

Alice also waved and walked towards the door. Halfway through, she turned back and blinked at Shen Ye.

"Good night, Shen. Have a good dream."

"Good night, Alice, and sweet dreams to you too."

Then Alice closed the door.

"Hey!"

Looking at the room where he was the only one left, Shen Ye sighed slightly, then laughed.

Although I've only been here for less than half a night, it feels pretty good. I've met Barrett's daughter Marin, as well as Amina and Alice. This is a great start.

"Well, go to sleep. I hope tomorrow's story will be more exciting."

Shen Ye took off his coat, lay on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Shen Ye did not wake up naturally. Instead, Malin's knocking on the door made him grouchy for once.

"Uncle..."

After opening the door, Marlene called him in a long voice, then jumped onto his bed and jumped up and down on it.

"Marin, come down, let me lie down for a while." Shen Ye pinched his brows and said, sighing that the child was still in such good spirits.

"You can't sleep any longer. Sister Alice and Aunt Amina have already gotten up to prepare breakfast." Marlene stopped and looked at Shen Ye with her hands on her hips: "Besides, Sister Alice said that you will have to accompany her to take me back to the seventh block later!"

"Okay, okay, I won't sleep." Shen Ye scratched the back of his neck, started to put on his clothes, and then went downstairs with little Malin.

"Good morning, Shen."

As soon as Shen Ye went downstairs, he met Alice who was serving breakfast to the dining table. She immediately greeted him.

"Good morning, Alice." Shen Ye responded and then went to wash up.

Marlene had already told him that Amina had gone to buy toiletries for them early in the morning.

After he finished washing up, several people sat together to eat breakfast.

"Alice, Shen, you must get little Marlene home safely." Amina instructed the two at the dining table.

"Don't worry, Ms. Amina, nothing will go wrong with me here." Shen Ye took a sip of porridge and said seriously.

"That's good." Amina rubbed Marlene's head and nodded.

(Seventh Street, Seventh Heaven Bar, Go!)

Chapter 139! Heading to the Seventh Block

……

After breakfast, the three of them rested for a while, then said goodbye to Amina and left home.

"There's a station nearby with buses to the Seventh Street District."

On the street, Alice and Shen Ye walked side by side. Of course, there was little Marlene between them, and she was held by one hand each.

"Sister Alice, have you been to the Seventh Block?" Marlene looked up at Alice.

"I've been there a few times to sell flowers." Alice said, then she held her forehead with some regret: "Oh no, I should have brought some flowers, so I could make some money to support my family."

"Don't worry, Sister Alice, my father will definitely give you a thank-you fee after you send me back." Marlene said.

Alice shook her head. "That's not necessary, Marlene. I'm not sending you home for money."

"Okay then." Marlene said somewhat disappointedly, then turned to look at Shen Ye and found that he seemed to be thinking about something, with a serious expression on his face.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Marlene asked him, "You looked so serious just now!"

"Nothing." Shen Ye collected his thoughts, smiled and shook his head, then turned his head to glance behind him and snorted.

He sensed someone was following them.

"Shen, don't worry, he means no harm."

As the only ancient species, Alice is not a weak woman. She also possesses special perception abilities and knows what Shen Ye is worried about.

"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, then ignored the people following them and turned to chat with Alice and little Marlene.

Soon, they arrived at the station.

Before coming, Shen Ye had already exchanged money in the system mall, but he was not familiar with the place at all. While he was still looking at the route, Alice had already bought the ticket.

Looking at the somewhat depressed Shen Ye, Alice said to him with a smile: "I'll let you pay next time."

Then she picked up Marlene and took Shen Ye to the bus to the Seventh Block.

……

The bus was going very fast and soon arrived at the viaduct between the fifth and sixth blocks. There were actually Shinra soldiers guarding the area, but they simply got on the bus and took a look around. Without a thorough check or asking for identities, they let the bus enter the sixth block.

The bus then continued to drive towards the seventh block, but not long after it went far, it was stopped by a group of people.

They were a group of guys who looked like they were not easy to mess with. One of them was very strong. After the car door opened, he came up and shouted to the people in the car: "By order of Boss Gu Liugenwei, we are going to check the people in the car. Please don't be afraid."

Although his words were polite, they were full of the implication that no one could refuse. Then he took a few of his younger brothers and checked the people in the seats one by one.

"It's so unlucky. How could something like this happen?" Alice frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

She knew what kind of person Gu Liugenwei was. He was the leading figure in charge of the dark forces on the streets. Moreover, most importantly, he was very lustful, so his subordinates would often look for beautiful women everywhere to please him.

There was not a single woman in the slums of Midgar who didn't hate him.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Shen Ye pinched Alice's arm and whispered.

Soon, the big man came to the row where Shen Ye and Alice were sitting. When the big man saw Alice's appearance, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"If I offer her up, the boss will definitely reward me handsomely."

But just when he was about to ask his younger brother to arrest the man, he noticed Marlene lying in Alice's arms. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out a photo from his pocket. After taking a look, his face lit up with joy. Isn't this little girl the person his boss is looking for?

"It's really a double happiness!" The big man grinned, then waved his hand and asked his younger brothers to gather around him.

"This beautiful lady and this lovely girl, please let us go through. Our boss wants to see you." The big man ignored Shen Ye who was sitting in the aisle and said to Alice and Marlene.

Alice didn't even look at him, she just hugged Marlene tightly, then looked at Shen Ye beside her.

"Can I reject your boss' invitation on their behalf?" Shen Ye tilted his head and looked at the big man.
