This is a somewhat dilapidated courtyard. As soon as I approached it, I was greeted by a heavy atmosphere. It seemed to have been there for quite some time...

The tiles on the roof seemed to have collapsed, and a few scattered broken tiles fell to the ground, making it look a bit messy.

As Duan Yi walked forward and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door, some dust fell from under the door.

There was no sound from behind the door. After a while, Duan Yi knocked on the wooden door again, with a regular pattern of two short and three long knocks.

In this apocalypse, it's always a good idea to be cautious. However, Duan Yi's team members were still a little worried about bringing Xiaobai and the others back to the base.

Because the other party is too powerful, if a conflict occurs, they may be completely wiped out by the other party.

However, Duan Yi felt more at ease about this. Firstly, others rescued them as soon as they arrived. Secondly, if they could keep masters like Yang Yu in the team, then their hope of getting out would be greater.

In short, if the other party wanted to kill them, where could they run to in this besieged city?

Squeak! ———

The wooden door made a slight sound and a small head popped out from the crack.

It was a little girl, who seemed to be the same age as Beibei. She had two pigtails on her head and was wearing a sky blue dress. She looked very cute.

The little girl looked at the people outside the house with her bright eyes, and her gaze fell on Duan Yi.

"Brother Yi! What's wrong with you!"

As if frightened by the miserable appearance of Duan Yi and his companions, the little girl quickly opened the wooden door and welcomed them in.

"It's okay, I was just a little hurt..."

Duan Yi comforted the little girl and helped Fan Qin'er walk in.

As several people entered the room one after another, the little girl was startled by the sight of the white spider girl in front of her. She pointed at Xiaobai and stammered in fear, "You...are you a human or..."

Xiaobai remained calm. However, Beibei, who was standing behind him, heard the noise and poked her head out. Seeing the frightened little girl, Beibei jumped off Xiaobai.

"Don't be afraid! Xiaobai is a good spider!"

Beibei patted Xiaobai's spider claws with great confidence, as a gesture to reassure the other party.

"Good spider?..."

Wang Jiaqi was puzzled by Beibei's words. Was the other person really a giant spider? But why did it have the body of a big sister?

"Don't worry, Xiaobai won't eat people."

Seeing that the little girl still looked a little scared, Beibei comforted her. This little brat is really timid. When she first met Xiaobai, she didn't feel scared at all.

"Really……"

Wang Jiaqi looked at the calm look of the little girl in front of him, and remembered that she was sitting on the big spider just now. The fear on her face eased a little, but she still looked at Xiaobai nervously.

In response, Xiaobai simply looked at the nervous little brat in front of him. A sense of evil amusement rose in her heart. The girl leaned over, her delicate face suddenly wrinkled! Baring her teeth at the little girl, she said, "Eat you!"

“Wow!!”

Wang Jiaqi was startled by the White Spider Girl's sudden action. With tears in her big eyes, she ran towards Duan Yi and the others in front of her, crying and shouting.

"Don't eat me! I'm not tasty!"

The little girl hid behind Duan Yi and others, looking at the white spider girl opposite with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the White Spider Girl's expression had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now.

Yang Yu and Xiao Ming, who witnessed the incident, looked at each other in shock, unable to believe what they saw, with strange expressions on their faces.

Why would Mr. Bai suddenly scare a child? My filter is a little broken...

"Hey Xiaobai, what are you doing~"

Beibei shook Xiaobai's spider claws speechlessly. She had just calmed the little brat down, but Xiaobai suddenly scared him again.

"It's okay, Qiqi, they are just teasing you..."

Duan Yi glanced at the White Spider Girl in surprise, then patted Wang Jiaqi's head and soothed her, "They are Brother Yi's saviors. They are all good people... and they won't hurt you..."

Duan Yi's words calmed Wang Jiaqi down a bit, and she leaned over to look at the White Spider Girl opposite her. She exchanged glances with her, then quickly averted her gaze.

The girl had a calm expression at this moment, her purple eyes glanced slightly at the little girl, and the corners of her mouth curled up in an ambiguous arc.

What a cowardly human being, he cries at the slightest scare...

As the situation calmed down, everyone continued to walk back into the courtyard. However, their initial wariness towards the White Spider Girl also inexplicably dissipated a little...

Xiaobai and the other three looked around. It seemed that this was a courtyard formed by several houses connected together, and the area was quite spacious.

However, the yard was now overgrown with weeds, the stone pavement had long been eroded by time and had become uneven, and vines were crawling on the corners of the walls, as if telling of its former glory.

The glass on some windows was broken and covered with dust and cobwebs. The sunlight filtered through the broken windows, illuminating the mess inside the house.

There may have once been a beautiful fountain in the courtyard, but now it has dried up, with only a few stubborn wildflowers swaying in the wind. The entire courtyard is filled with an atmosphere of silence and desolation...

"Brother Yi, you're back."

In front of a house that looked like the main courtyard, a young man holding tools in his hands saw Duan Yi and his companions coming and greeted them.

When the young man saw the mess they were in, he quickly ran up to them and asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you injured?"

Duan Yi supported Fan Qin'er and said weakly to the boy, "Xiao Lin, bring the medicine box over first..."

"Okay, wait for me."

Seeing this, the young man didn't think too much about it. He nodded and turned to leave to find the medicine box.
