Ye Zhen didn't expect to meet someone in such a place.
A thin, almost sickly girl, if it weren't for the fact that it is the end of the world and science is too advanced, she would have thought she had encountered a ghost.
But that's also really not normal.
As I said before, any woman who wanders alone in the last days is an existence that cannot be ignored.
Ye Zhen's figure gradually approached, and under the light of the bonfire, she dragged a slender oblique shadow.
The girl sitting by the bonfire rubbed her belly hungry at first, but now she saw her walking over, she just hugged her knees, as if she was not interested in her at all, hugged her knees and continued He stared blankly at the fire in front of him.
The two behaved like two taciturn people just happened to meet in the wild, without even a nod of greeting, and then passed each other just like that.
Ye Zhen was not a talkative person, let alone a person who enthusiastically approached others. As the second generation of high-level executives in L City, she has never seen any kind of people, because her background flatters her, disdains her strength... There are all kinds of people, but no one can understand her mind.
She never took the initiative to make friends with anyone.
But today seems to be different.
The little girl in front of her was really too thin, she seemed to be living in an environment where she had been abused for a long time. Although Ye Zhen is not a helpful person, the girl in front of her really aroused the shallow sympathy in her heart, and she couldn't help asking:
"are you alone?"
The girl with long black hair looked away from the bonfire, stared blankly at Ye Zhen, tilted her head, there was no emotion in her big eyes, it was actually a bit intrusive to be stared at by her like that.
After looking at it for a while, she finally said yes.
It can be regarded as answering Ye Zhen's question - she is here alone.
Ye Zhen was worried that she was being threatened by others to say this conclusion, and wanted to continue to question, but she had never encountered such a situation before, so she could only stand stupidly by the campfire for fear of scaring her.
The pile of wood burned in the fire and made crackling noises. The two women, standing and sitting, watched the burning fire and fell silent.
After a while, the girl looked at the fire in front of her again, and said a word slowly:
"Hungry." Only then did Ye Zhen realize that her voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't know whether it was due to innate or acquired reasons.
The girl looked up at her for a while, and then put her chin back on her knees, like a puppy that failed to beg for food and fell back to its place in frustration.
Ye Zhen subconsciously took out her pockets, and only took out a small piece of chocolate from her trousers pocket. Before she handed it over, the girl raised her head as alertly as if she had a food detector, and stared at the chocolate in her hand with burning eyes.
The firelight fell into her pitch-black eyes, as if they were dyed with two pinches of dazzling small flames.
Of course Ye Zhen knew that such a small piece of chocolate would not be enough to eat, so it was better than nothing, so she handed it over and asked in a low voice:
"Why are you here alone?"
A look of vigilance flashed in the eyes of the girl who had stretched out her hand to pick up her food. She retracted her hand that was halfway up, hugged her leg tightly and didn't speak, just staring at the campfire in a daze.
Ye Zhen: ...
Usually, the people she meets are those who come to talk to her on her own initiative, and basically all the people she meets are normal people. It was the first time she saw a girl like this who talked less than her.
I don't know what to do right now.
After thinking about it, he handed the chocolate in front of the girl's eyes and said slowly, "Eat it, I won't ask you any questions."
The little girl stared at her for a long time, as if to confirm whether her words were reliable, and then took the chocolate she gave.
Tear open the packaging bag, first licked it, his eyes lit up after tasting the sweetness, and then he took small bites of the small piece of chocolate and finished it.
Even because the temperature was too high while sitting by the campfire, the chocolate melted in the packaging bag, and finally I stuck out my tongue and licked it clean.
System 00 commented sincerely: [Your acting skills are really good. ] Pretending to be a mentally handicapped child wandering away, even being so stingy about eating, there is no such dedicated ghost cultivator in the whole hell.
Bo Han finished the chocolate in his hand, looked at the packaging bag reluctantly and said:
[What do you know? This is a luxury brand of chocolate... My wife must live like a rich second generation in this life, no matter how poor she is, she can still take out this kind of chocolate at will in such a poor world, no matter, I Follow her first to eat and drink spicy food.]
Poor Ye Zhen didn't know that she would be trapped by a small oil bottle.
She was still thinking about whether to stay here for a while to see what kind of person she was following. But she sat and waited by the campfire for an hour, but no one else came, and there was only half an hour before her deadline to return to the base tonight.
Otherwise, Zhou Kai and Ji Xiaoya would definitely be invited by her father to drink tea at the training camp.
After another ten minutes, Ye Zhen glanced at the girl who had been staring at the campfire in a daze, got up and patted her pants, and said to her: "I have to go, you...stay here alone, be careful."
The girl also stood up from the spot, followed her example, and patted the white gauze skirt on her body... In fact, the hem was covered with a lot of mud, but I don't know why she was still wearing it.
Of course, Bo Han's explanation is: I have to pretend to be weak and pitiful, preferably like a pure natural white lotus, so as to awaken the sympathy in my dear heart.
System 00: ...
It decided not to comment, after all, anything it said at this time would hurt the fragile friendship it had rebuilt with Bo Han.
Ye Zhen gave her a puzzled look, then looked around - until now she still insists that this girl is not alone in the wilderness.
Unfortunately, she made a mistake. There was no sign of anyone around.
Speaking of this, she also remembered today's task. Originally, I was going to come out today to see if there were any mutant zombies... In the end, except for a few sporadic ones—all of which had been dealt with by her, she did not find any traces or reasons for the disappearance of the previous D group.
Of course, she didn't know that the little girl she thought looked pitiful in front of her was the reason for the downfall of the members of that group.
So Ye Zhen's eyes fell back to the girl, looking at the girl who was standing there staring at her, and she was motionless, after thinking about it, she asked:
"You, is there anything else?"
To be honest, this person in front of me has broken Ye Zhen's principles since she was a child. Judging from the conversations these few times - at least our boss Ye has never taken the initiative to ask others. It is true.
So it is understandable that she is not so proficient in using this interrogative sentence.
The girl clenched the chocolate packaging bag in her right hand, and walked to her from the campfire without saying a word, carefully and slowly grabbed the pocket of her military trousers, only holding a small corner, like Yes... want more food.
You Qi contacted the chocolate wrapping paper that she hadn't let go yet, Ye Zhen felt that it was a sign that she was not full.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't have any more, you see—" He turned out his empty trouser belt to show her.
The girl blinked her eyes and looked up at her, but the height of 1.5 meters and her really... formed a mother-daughter altitude difference.
After a while, the girl shook her head, seeing that she was frowning slightly to express her bewilderment, she was silent for a while and said, "No, eat."
She seems to dislike her own voice, so she can always keep her mouth shut, which is different from Ye Zhen who usually doesn't bother to talk to others.
And she seemed to be having a hard time speaking...
Do not eat
What is that for
Ye Zhen looked at her puzzled, while the person who was much shorter than her just kept silent, tugging at her pants, without saying a word.
Ye Zhen asked belatedly: "You want to follow me?"
The girl nodded—now she is not as ignorant of her as before, it seems that it is not slow to respond, but pure laziness.
Judging from her current situation, there is really no one by her side... But with her suspicious appearance written all over her body, Ye Zhen hesitated for a while, should she be taken back to the base in L City
As if aware of her emotions, the girl saw that she hadn't left for a long time, and looked up at her expression—seeing the vacillation on her face, she remained silent, and let go of the pants of the person in front of her little by little.
Squeezing the chocolate wrapper tightly, she turned and wanted to go back to sit by the campfire.
It's like an unclaimed stray pet. After getting used to the human breath, it has almost no ability to survive in the wild. But he is especially good at looking at people's faces, knowing who is really kind and who really doesn't want to take him away.
So I nestled back to the original place, waiting for the next person to take me away.
What if not
System 00 asked her a question.
Bo Han laughed in his heart, and replied slowly: [If not, then our life will come to an end here.]
Ye Zhen watched her finally let go of herself despite her reluctance, and returned to the campfire holding the piece of paper that only smelled of chocolate in her hand.
The back looks lonely and stubborn.
It is not a problem for her to take on one more person's meal. Even in the last days, her living standard in L City is no different from before.
But she knew the point wasn't that.
The point is, the background of this girl.
Watching her walk back to the original place, Ye Zhen asked suddenly: "What's your name?"
The girl's eyes lit up, she turned to look at her, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a word from her throat: "Han..." Of course, she couldn't say her full name, otherwise, if she went back to L City to check, she would be exposed .
Is it the cold Han or the last name Han
Ye Zhen didn't hear clearly, but she probably didn't want to repeat it when she saw her struggling to speak. Immediately gave people a nickname:
"Okay, Xiaohan, do you want to come with me?"
Bo Han nodded, walked up to her again, gently stretched out her hand to pull her pants, and when she wanted to walk into L City with her—Ye Zhen took her hands away from her pants and put them on Hold it in the palm of your hand.
Even she herself couldn't figure out why she couldn't help but want to take her away just seeing this person for the first time.
L city base.
In a small villa.
Ji Xiaoya and Zhou Chang looked at each other for a while, and stood in the living room looking at the girl who was sitting on the sofa with her head lowered and seriously eating cantaloupe. She looked extremely malnourished and hadn't eaten a good meal for several months, and couldn't help but speak. Go ask Ye Zhen who is sitting on the other side reading a book:
"Sister Ye, where did you pick up this... um?"
Ji Xiaoya couldn't find an adjective for the time being.
Why didn't he realize that Sister Ye was such a... uh, a woman full of maternal love? You know, in the eyes of many other supernatural beings in L City, oh, it is the same in the eyes of ordinary people. Even those of them who grew up with her feel that she is a person with very little emotion.
Most of the time, she is cold and indifferent, as if nothing can move her.
As for compassion
Hehe, any viewer who has seen her kill people or kill zombies without blinking will feel that Ye Zhen is cold-blooded and hard-hearted.
The point is! This person has no child at all!
Occasionally, a child bumped into her while walking on the road, and she could scare other children to tears just by looking down!
"Why do you ask so many questions? Ji Xiaoya, do you want to be transferred to the bureau to be in charge of household registration?" Ye Zhen snapped the book in her hand, and Bo Han, who was eating melons next to her, immediately looked up at her. It seemed to be seeing what she had to do.
When he realized that she wasn't talking to him, and didn't plan to go out, Bo Han ignored Zhou Ke who was asking him a lot of questions, and continued to concentrate on eating melons with his head down.
[I suddenly feel that being a guy who doesn't like to talk to people is really a blessing. I can ignore any guy and then focus on living in my own world.]She doesn't care if she feels comfortable, but she still needs to share her acting experience with System 00.
System 00: ...
It doesn't really want to talk.
But it felt that it was wrong for him to have such small emotions, so he thought about it, and seriously replied to the girl: [You, just be happy.]
That gentle, lingering and magnetic voice can really make people's ears pregnant in a second.
But when it uttered this sentence with complicated emotions and with this tone, for some reason, Bo Han felt that this sentence was very ironic.
Ji Xiaoya was choked by Ye Zhen's words, and raised his hand innocently, blinking his eyes: "Sister Ye, you are thinking too much, I absolutely have no intention of interfering with your affairs - you can keep this little baby as long as you like."
Over there, Zhou Cheng couldn't ask a word, so he simply reached out to grab Bo Han's wrist. Bo Han didn't want to be touched by her at first, but he wasn't sure what this man meant to Ye Zhen, so he didn't hide, and let her hold it—
In the next second, Zhou Kai said strangely:
"Sister Ye... It seems that the one you picked up is not a minor..."
The author has something to say: Ye Zhen, who thought she brought home a child's paper: ...
Hahahahaha!
And, happy Chinese Valentine's Day, my dears!
Although I'm single...
