Fu Shinan immediately signaled Xiao Chang ‘an to keep quiet. This was because it was definitely not Ji Zan’s footsteps. His footsteps were not so light!
The footsteps soon reached the door. Fu Shinan couldn’t help but feel nervous. This voice didn’t sound like a zombie. It was obviously human. But sometimes, she would rather meet a zombie.
When Fu Shinan was in the alert state, the other party had already walked in. It was a little girl with two braids. Compared to Xiao Chang ‘an, the little girl was dull and lifeless except for her bright eyes. Her hair was messy and her clothes were tattered.
Seeing that there was someone inside, the little girl was shocked and turned to run.
Fu Shinan quickly got up and shouted, “Little girl, wait a minute. Are you alone?”
The little girl hid by the wall at the door and looked at her nervously.
Fu Shinan leaned over and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. We’re not bad people.” The little girl still did not move. After a long while, she carefully said, “Then…
Can you give me something to eat? If you give me food, I’ll believe that you’re not a bad person.”
Fu Shinan smiled bitterly.” I’m sorry. I can’t do anything about it because we didn’t find anything to eat.””
The little girl stared at Fu Shinan and said after a moment of silence, “I know where there is food. There is a lot there, but I can’t get it…”
Fu Shinan immediately asked, “Where is it?” She knew there had to be people here. From yesterday until now, she and Ji Zan had shared a single bottle of water, and they were running low on the dry instant noodles they had.
The little girl pointed towards the north and said, “There’s a bomb shelter over there. Many people are inside, and there’s plenty of food. My mom went to ask them for help, but they refused and even hurt my mom. My little brother is starving. Please, sister, help us get some food, and just a little bit for me as a reward for showing you the way!” Her voice choked up as she thought about her mother and brother.
Fu Shinan asked, “Where are your mom and brother?”
“They’re in that pit over there,” the little girl pointed to a mound behind the storage shed.
Fu Shinan checked but couldn’t see anyone. In the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ji Zan returned empty-handed, indicating that he hadn’t found anything.
The little girl, seeing Ji Zan’s tall figure, took a few steps back in fear.
Fu Shinan reassured her, “Don’t be afraid, he’s with me.”
Ji Zan’s puzzled voice interjected, “What’s going on…?”
Fu Shinan explained, “She’s a survivor.” She briefly recounted what had just happened.
Ji Zan glanced in that direction and said, “Let’s go take a look.”
The little girl, sensing that these people meant no harm, suddenly felt hopeful. “Thank you, I’ll guide you there.”
At that moment, Xiao Changan, who had been hiding behind Fu Shinan, suddenly rushed forward. He took out a piece of chocolate from the small pocket on his overalls and handed it to the little girl. “This is all I have, you can have it first.”
The little girl looked at the palm-sized piece of chocolate and licked her parched lips. “Thank you, but I’m not hungry… I’ll give it to my little brother,” she said as she ran toward the pit.
Ji Zan and Fu Shinan quickly followed with Xiao Changan and Fu Gui. In no time, they reached a large mound with a pit beneath it. Trash surrounded the area, and the smell of garbage masked the presence of the people inside, allowing them to survive. Inside the pit was a woman with a vacant expression, holding a small child in her arms. Her hands were covered in wounds, as if she had bitten herself, a horrifying sight.
Upon hearing her daughter’s cries, the woman lifted her head in a daze. Her hands were almost entirely covered in wounds, as if she had bitten herself, a gruesome sight.
The little girl placed the chocolate in front of her mother, saying, “Mom, have some chocolate. It’ll give you strength. When you’re full, you’ll have energy.” The woman managed a faint smile and said, ‘Mommy won’t eat, you have it..”
