Eighth floor, temporary base.

Lu Nange looked at everyone: "Someone went upstairs, one person..."

"Knock, knock, knock" - there was a slow knock on the door.

A childish voice came from outside the door, cautiously probing: "Excuse me...is there anyone here?"

Several people in the room exchanged glances, and the light from the candles and flashlights cast swaying shadows on everyone's faces.

Gu Qi, who was closest to the door, asked in a deep voice, "What?"

"I... I got separated from my mother." The girl's voice trembled, as if she was trying hard to hold back tears: "There are monsters outside, and I saw light here..."

Gu Wan: "Nannan, is it just one child?"

Lu Nange nodded slightly: "Well, there are many people around, but there is only this child at our door..."

Luo Xingyou: "How about...let her in first? We can't leave a child outside..."

He Zhuo: "Meibao said there is only one child, how about we open the door and see what's going on?"

Lu Xici: "In this world, we can't take it lightly even if it's a child."

Lu Nange: "My brother is right. If someone can survive to this day, either there is a wolf behind him, or he is the leader of the pack. He is definitely not a good person, so be careful... Brother Gu Qi, open the door!"

Gu Qi turned around and looked at Chi Yanzhou.

The queen nodded...

"Click——" the door lock popped open with a sound.

Under the dim light, a skinny little girl stood outside the door.

She was wearing a dirty, ragged short-sleeved shirt and her shorts were patched. Her face was covered in mud, and when she looked up, she revealed a pair of overly clear eyes.

"Big brother..." She huddled and hugged herself tightly: "Can I go in and wait for mom?"

Gu Qi stepped aside to make way, shadows covering his eyes as he examined them: "Come in."

Lu Nange looked at the thin and frail little girl, walked to the kitchen, and actually brought out a bowl of porridge from the space: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

The little girl's fingers hidden in her pocket loosened the grip on the glass bottle, but she hesitated when she smelled the porridge.

[This sister looks so pretty when she smiles... No! She shook her head fiercely, Mom is still waiting... But this porridge smells so good, just eat a bowl, and then...]

"Come, sit here." Gu Wan gently supported the little girl's shoulders and led her to the dining table.

"Thank you brothers and sisters..." The little girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

The bowl that Lu Nange took out was just a mouthful of warm porridge. The little girl didn't use a spoon, but directly picked up the bowl and poured it into her mouth.

Luo Xingyou: "Drink slowly! Be careful, it's hot——"

Lu Nange watched the girl wolfing down her food: "Don't worry, after you finish eating, there's still some in the pot..."

The little girl put down the empty bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.

She lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, sister... Food is precious, and these are enough for me."

Gu Wan squatted down, his eyes were level with the little girl, and said softly: "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Tiantian."

Gu Wan smiled and said, "Tiantian, that sounds really nice. How did you get separated from your mother? Do you remember where you live?"

Tiantian shook her head and pinched the medicine bottle in her trouser pocket with her fingers.

Lu Nange's eyes fell on the bruises on Tiantian's arms and legs: "Tiantian, how old are you?"

"Eight years old." Her voice was small but clear.

Luo Xingyou looked towards the balcony in surprise: "Eight years old? Isn't it said that Aye is shorter than his peers? Why does Tiantian look so much younger than Aye..."

She paused and lowered her voice: "As thin as a five or six-year-old child."

Lu Beiye...: "Sister Xingyou, I just grew up relatively late!!!"

Only then did Tiantian notice that there was Shika Kitano standing in the shadow of the balcony - a boy taller than her, staring at her coldly.

[Mom didn’t tell me…there are other kids here!]

Lu Nange reached out and gently rubbed Tiantian's messy hair: "Tiantian, do you want to take a shower first? Sister will get you some clothes to change into, okay?"

She paused, her fingertips brushing across the bruises on Tiantian's wrist, "I'll apply some medicine to your injured area later?"

Gu Wan: "Tiantian, are you scared? Do you want your sister to help you wash?"

He Zhuo took two steps back and looked at Lu Xici and the others: "Don't you think their voices are a little too sticky?"
