Shi Qinghe had just taken a few steps forward when the little boy ran into the room and hid.

This is a storage room with a strong odor. There are all kinds of messy things on the floor, and occasionally you can see some food crumbs on the floor.

The little boy hid in a half-broken cabinet.

Seeing the frightened look on the little boy's face, Shi Qinghe didn't dare to move forward. She coughed twice, went out of the utility room to give Ji Heng the toilet, and went to check on Qin Tian and Xu Bai's injuries.

Fortunately, there was enough gauze in the space.

Shi Qinghe first removed the bandage on Xu Bai's leg. He lowered his head and removed it very carefully, as if he was doing something very important and was very focused.

The wound did not split or bleed, so the dressing was changed and re-bandaged.

Qin Tian's condition was more serious than Xu Bai's. The wound on his calf was deeper. As soon as the first layer of gauze was removed, blood was seen oozing out.

Shi Qinghe's expression was serious, and his movements were much more cautious. After all the gauze was removed, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the gauze in his hand, took the medicine, and sighed: "Our team is pretty good, but we lack a healing system."

"If we had a healer with us, this injury would be healed in minutes."

"Xu Bai, next time, have Xu Qing prioritize checking for any healing personnel. Don't assign them to the medical room. I'll go find some and recruit them into our mercenary group first."

Before Xu Bai could say anything, Qin Tian couldn't help laughing: "The medical room is safe and stable, it's not easy for you to dig."

Shi Qinghe snorted coldly, but he agreed with what he said in his heart. However, he would not give up. Maybe he would meet a guy who was brave enough to venture out and wanted to give it a try.

After finishing, they took a shower one after another and prepared lunch.

During this period, the little boy hid in the utility room and did not come out.

When it was time for dinner, Captain Lin went to call the man out, cleaned him up, and then brought him to the dinner table.

The little boy is called Xu Xiaoxiao, he is seven years old. After the end of the world, his great-grandfather turned into a zombie and locked him in the utility room and did not let him come out. His great-grandfather then locked himself in another room and turned into a zombie. His great-grandfather is now 106 years old.

Hearing this, Shi Qinghe thought of the old zombie and comforted herself: "This is a happy funeral. The old zombie can be reincarnated as a human soon, and not be reincarnated into a place where there are zombies."

On weekdays, the extra food at home is stored in the utility room.

Xu Xiaoxiao has survived until now relying on that food.

Xu Xiaoxiao cried as she scooped herself a big mouthful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth until her mouth could no longer hold any more, then she started to bite it.

"How did they eat all that food?"

Shi Qinghe recalled the miscellaneous items in the storage room, and there was nothing that could start a fire.

After a long while, with tears in her eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao mumbled, "Raw."

For a moment, everyone looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with heartache in their eyes.

According to Xu Xiaoxiao, the food includes potatoes, peanuts, taro, corn, rice, etc.

These are eaten raw.

Shi Qinghe and Mingliang both had tears in their eyes, but they turned their heads away and wiped away the tears.

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished the food in his bowl, he jumped down from his seat and ran into the utility room.

They wanted to stop him but were too embarrassed to speak up, after all, they had seen Shi Qinghe chop off the head of their great-grandfather with their own eyes.

They originally thought that Xu Xiaoxiao had hidden in the storage room again, but unexpectedly, after a few minutes, Xu Xiaoxiao brought out a small red bag and put it on the table.

"My dear brothers and sisters, this is the little food I have left. After giving it to you, can you take me with you?"

"Do you want to go with us?" Captain Lin looked honest and righteous, and the children seemed to trust him more when he spoke.

"Well, is that okay? I eat...very little." Xu Xiaoxiao is a recognized little genius in Xujia Village. Although he is young, he knows that if he continues to stay here, his food will run out one day. He can't go out and kill those man-eating monsters with his small arms and legs. Instead of waiting here to starve to death, it is better for him to follow them.

Who knows what will happen the next time he meets someone?

Even if he meets someone, he may not necessarily find someone willing to treat him to a meal.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the food on the table again and swallowed a few times. He didn't dare to eat too much just now, so he finished a bowl of rice with a bite or two of vegetables. Now he was still very hungry.

"Where we're going next is dangerous."

"This bag of food will last you a few more days. We can come pick you up when we're done with our business."

This was the result of their discussion before dinner. They couldn't bear to leave a child who looked only about five years old in a house when the village outside was full of zombies.

But if he took her along, the place they were going to would be full of dangers, as he had seen in the past two days. It would harm him instead, and he would most likely die outside.

They had already planned to leave some food for him, and let Mingliang use his supernatural powers to block the windows, doors and other places where zombies could come in, and come to pick him up after they were done.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought they were unwilling and were just refusing.

He knelt down and kowtowed to them: "Please take me with you. I am not afraid of danger. I don't want to be here alone. Please, I can help with the work. I will do anything. Just take me with you."

“Okay, we’ll take you with us.”

"Would you please get up, eat something, pack your clothes, and then go to bed?"

After Xu Bai untied the red bag that Xu Xiaoxiao had placed on the table, he immediately changed his words and tied up the red bag.

"Okay, thank you, sister. Thank you, sister."

Xu Xiaoxiao ate a little more and was about to go upstairs when he glanced at his red bag reluctantly.

"This is the reward I just promised to bring you. You are not allowed to go back on your word." Xu Bai noticed his gaze and spoke slowly.

The others were a little surprised, but didn't say anything.

They were not short of this little food, and they believed that Xu Bai had her reasons for doing this.

"Um!"

After seeing Xu Xiaoxiao go upstairs, Shi Qinghe leaned in and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with this little bit of food? I don't think you would be interested in this little bit that's not even enough for me to eat."

Shi Qinghe took the red bag and opened it.

"What the hell?"

Shi Qinghe exclaimed, and quickly tied up the red bag again. She looked at the stairs and saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was not there. She lowered her voice and said, "No, he ate these things, will he be okay?"

"What's in there?" Mingliang was about to reach out and untie it to take a look, but Shi Qinghe slapped his hand away.

"What are you looking at? Inside are some moldy peanuts, a handful of black rice with rice weevils, a dead cockroach, and a black piece of something I don't know what it is."

"Is this edible?"

Shi Qinghe couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling when she thought about seeing a bunch of rice bugs when she opened it.

“…”

Xu Xiaoxiao, who was packing clothes upstairs, seemed to have thought of something funny and let out a low chuckle...
