Become a girl in the horror world

Most of the houses are simple, built with rusty metal pillars, tiles and plastic roofs. A few people choose to build houses with wood, which is extremely difficult to find in the desert.

Of course, those who could afford to use wood in front of their doors were considered wealthy families, and there were always guards standing guard in front of their doors.

This is not only a small settlement, but also a market. Many scavengers from all over the desert gather here and exchange the things they pick up with the townspeople for supplies.

There was a lot of noise and at a glance, most people in the market were bargaining with the stall owners for some supplies. Some of them were so noisy that their ears turned red and their necks became thick, and even attracted the guards.

In today's world, even a little bit of supplies may be the key to keeping them alive in the future.

Sen Lu was carrying a shoulder bag, strolling and looking around, slowly walking towards the depths of the market. Not long after, someone came up behind her and pushed her with something. A young girl's voice sounded:

"Don't move, or I'll kill you."

It sounded like the kid behind her was trying hard to act fierce, but his trembling body and unfamiliar movements betrayed her.

Senlu, who had long combat experience, could of course feel that many people were looking at her as an outsider, some with unkindness. She also felt that someone was approaching her, but she didn't expect that the first person to step forward was a little girl.

She felt even more deeply about this wasteland world.

"Hand over all the food you have! Do you understand? Otherwise I..."

“I really would… Ugh!”

Before the little girl could finish her words, Senlu turned around, grabbed her hand, and lifted her whole body up.

Senlu looked at the other person's struggling and shaking body and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The other party actually made a gesture of his hand like a gun and tried to threaten her just now.

Even though the little guy was still pretending to be fierce at this moment, the fear and anxiety on his little face could hardly be concealed.

This sister is incredibly strong even though she looks quite thin!

Morilu decided to scare the child and warn those who were watching her.

There was a flash of red in the girl's eyes, and a terrifying murderous intent overflowed from them. For a moment, it seemed as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.

The faces of the people hiding in the dark changed slightly, and they all pretended to be calm and left, leaving only the frightened little girl in Mori Lu's hands with tears in her eyes, and hurriedly shouted:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I know a lot of things! You, you are an outsider, right, sister! You are someone who came from the mobile barrier under the jurisdiction of the Federation, sister, don't kill me!"

Sen Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, put the little girl in his arms down, squatted down silently, looked at her with a gentle gaze, and gently stroked the girl's head with his hand.

It was a heartwarming scene that seemed heartwarming to others, but only the little girl felt extremely ashamed.

"You know a lot?"

The little girl was so frightened that she almost lost consciousness and uttered a few words with a crying voice.

I really messed with the wrong person tonight. This big sister is so scary. She doesn’t even doubt that if her words don’t satisfy the other party, the other party will twist her entire neck off! !

"Big sister, there are only five fortresses under the Federation. The Tokyo has lost contact in this area recently. I heard that something happened to it. You must be a fugitive on the Tokyo, right? You want to eat, right!"

Senlu didn't respond, which was considered as his agreement.

She was just a little curious about why the little girl in front of her knew so much.

Her intuition told her that this girl was different from the ordinary people around her and her identity was not simple.

Morilu observed the little girl, as if he wanted to see through her nervous expression.

At this moment, the little girl looked gray and her clothes were tattered, no different from those barbarians.

She stretched out her hand to the little girl's face and wiped the dust off her face. Only then did she realize that her skin was very soft. Her black princess cut hairstyle was like a watermelon upside down on the girl's head. Her little face was pink and tender under the dust, and her big watery eyes blinked, which was very cute.

This is absolutely impossible for the barbarians who have lived in harsh environments for a long time to experience.

Senlu laughed and already had the answer in his mind.

"As for food, I have it, don't kill me! I..." The little girl thought of something, her face turned slightly pale, and she didn't continue speaking.

"Come with me, I can give you food, big sister."

The girl kept repeating her own value, and Senlu withdrew his killing intent, smiled and motioned for her to lead the way.

Only then did the girl heave a sigh of relief, but then she thought of something and her face drooped again, mumbling resentfully:

"Wow, I didn't get any supplies and I lost money on food. What should I do about grandma's illness? She's going to scold me again..."

Looking at the little girl in front of him who kept mumbling something, shaking her head like a black watermelon, Mori Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Little Watermelon, if you don't lead the way quickly, I'll tear your head off."

Little girl: “!!!”

Chapter 454: Predator Barrier

"My name is not Little Watermelon! I have my own name! Why did you give me such a weird nickname!" The little girl grumbled in dissatisfaction, but when she saw the look in the black-haired girl's eyes, she became unsure and dared not complain anymore.

"Little watermelon." For some reason, Senlu wanted to tease the little girl. He found it quite interesting to see her angry look.

"Little watermelon?"

"Little watermelon, little watermelon, little watermelon."

"Well...ah, I get it! You're so annoying, stop repeating it! Just call it a little watermelon!" The little girl muttered angrily.

Follow the girl all the way and turn into an alley.

The alley was dark and damp, and condensed water droplets fell, rusting the metal roofs.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Little Watermelon knocked twice on the metal door.

It is called a door, but in fact it is just a half-hidden metal sheet. I don’t know where it was bought from in some abandoned market, and it is welded to the shed with two metal buckles.

It seems that the owner of this shed is quite good at hands-on work.

Senlu thought so.

"Grandma? Grandma! Grandma, I'm back!"

After several calls without any response, Little Watermelon had a bad feeling in his heart, and a look of panic appeared on his little face. He pushed the door open with a little force, ran into the house in a hurry, and ran towards the corner of the shed.

Senlu also followed him into the house.

The smell in the house was not pleasant, it was the smell of rusted metal mixed with the musty smell of something, but it was definitely not unpleasant. Compared to the stench that could be smelled by other wastelanders before they even got close to their homes, the owner of this house could definitely be described as a clean guy.

What surprised Senlu was that there was a photo posted in the house. In the photo, an old lady was smiling kindly, and a young girl was standing next to her. It was Xiao Xigua.

It seems that the two have been dependent on each other for a long time. There are many handicrafts on the tattered sofa and in a bamboo basket, such as rag dolls and educational toys like Luban locks.

I walked slowly into the bedroom and found an old man with a kind face and eyes slightly closed, leaning on the bed. Little Watermelon was lying on the bed, tears in his eyes, murmuring something:

"Grandma... Grandma, I'm back, did you hear me, Grandma?"

"Grandma, how are you? Are you feeling better? Ningning will get the money to take you to the Great Barrier for treatment!"

The old man seemed to take a long time to catch his breath, opened his eyes, and gently stroked and comforted Little Watermelon:

"Don't cry... Ningning, don't cry. Grandma heard it. Grandma heard it all."

The old man's voice was hoarse and he sounded in poor condition.

"Grandma is fine, just a little tired."

Glancing at the forest deer standing still, the old lady thought carefully, then sighed, and looked at the little girl with the same kind eyes, with a little more doting meaning:

"Ningning, you're in trouble again. Did you get caught stealing someone's things?"

"No, no! I just..." Little Watermelon's tone dropped.

"I'm sorry, grandma. I just want to get the money to take you away from here. The people from the Travel Association will be here in a few days. I'm too anxious..."

"Um......"

After a long silence, the old man did not blame Little Watermelon as he did in the past. He just stroked Little Watermelon's head silently. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a long time, he let out a long sigh:

"Ningning, grandma is a little thirsty, can you heat up a bowl of water for grandma first?"

Hearing this, Little Watermelon stopped choking, and nodded while holding back his tears, then trotted out the door, leaving only Senlu and the old man standing in the room.

The old lady wanted to get up and reach for something on the bedside table, but she really had no strength left. Sen Lu didn't say anything. He walked up to her and gently stroked her to lie back down, then took out the things from the bedside table for her.

It was a small skirt with fine workmanship and delicate material. It could be distinguished from the clothes of the wasteland dwellers at a glance. There was also needle and thread for sewing next to it.

Senlu probably guessed something, was silent for a moment, and handed the needle and thread to the old man.

The old lady put on her glasses, coughed lightly, squinted her eyes, and carefully mended the little skirt. She spoke slowly, as if chatting about family matters:

"You're not from here, are you?"

"Why does everyone say that?" Senlu asked subconsciously.

"You are like Little Watermelon. When you first came here, you were wearing exquisite clothes. Your demeanor was so different from the people here. Of course, you can tell at a glance."

The old man smiled kindly.

"How old are you, child?"

Mori Lu did not directly answer this question.

If according to the laws of Mirror City, people are considered adults at the age of sixteen, then she is already an adult. But according to her sister, it seems that she is still one year short?

The memory of time during the long journey with her sister has long been blurred, and she herself is not very clear...

"Time flies so fast."

There seemed to be light in the old man's eyes.

As if he had regained his vitality, the old man sewed clothes faster and his attention was more focused.

"Ningning has been here for two years without me noticing. In these two years, I have watched her grow up, her tense face, from babbling and not being able to speak the local language to playing well with the other kids on the street. Haha... this child has caused me a lot of trouble because of her mischief."

The old man said this, then was silent for a while and continued.

"Pneumoconiosis is an incurable disease for us poor people. That silly child, alas..."

"This child's background is not simple. The chip on his wrist is only found in a certain legendary great barrier. Even though the barrier has fallen and the chip is damaged, there are still many people who recognize him."

"People from the Travel Journal Chamber of Commerce will be here in a few days. If Ningning really goes to the barrier, it will be very dangerous..."

The old man didn't continue speaking, but the meaning of his words was self-evident.

"If you send her home, the people of that fortress will thank you."

"I understand, old man." Senlu said softly.

"Um...thank you..."

The old man nodded slowly in response, and his tone became slow again, as if what just happened was just a last burst of energy.

Now, the old woman has done the last thing she wanted to do and slowly put down the little skirt she had mended in her hands.

Suddenly, this kind old man had left quietly.

There was a sound of a bowl falling to the ground and breaking behind him. Little Watermelon could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. He ran up quickly, hugged the old man and the skirt in his arms, and said in a trembling voice:

"Grandma? Aren't you thirsty and want to drink some water? Grandma, can you please say something to me? Grandma, please say something, Ningning will definitely be good in the future and won't steal other people's things again. Grandma, please don't leave me..."

Chapter 455 "Predatory Barrier" is a -word chapter. Hao Ren didn't slack off! !

Looking at the sad little watermelon, Senlu fell silent.

She watched the scene calmly, but her mind was filled with thoughts.

to be frank,

She still envied this kind of feeling.

Although there is no blood relationship, one can still see the 'family affection' and the love the old man has for his granddaughter.

But she...

Of course, her sister also had good feelings for her, but she was just a little curious about what family love felt like...

Will it be warm?

Little Watermelon cried and threw himself into Senlu's arms:

"Sister, I feel so bad...Grandma was fine a few days ago. She said she would be well soon. The Travel Association is coming in two days."

"There is no one in this world who loves me more than grandma. Only grandma will make those handmade toys for me when I am sad. Grandma will tell me stories every night. I don't want grandma to leave, big sister... Grandma just fell asleep, right? She fell asleep like she used to, right..."
