Chapter 44 Strange Neighbors

At this time, the two children who were awakened by hunger staggered out of the shanty and cried loudly outside.

"Woo woo woo~ Mom, Mom, where are you?"

"Milk, milk~"

The adults here were startled by the sudden voice, and also expressed their dissatisfaction with Shen Tangtang’s ignoring them.

"Young girls nowadays, why do you eat so much? You should share the food with everyone. You are so mean, you eat meat secretly instead of helping others."

A white-haired old lady pointed at Shen Tangtang viciously, like a demon in the darkness.

"It's just... slurp~, hiding at home eating meat alone, without thinking about others. Slurp~"

The tall and strong man standing next to her had a greedy look on his face, and his eyes would look into Shen Tangtang's house from time to time.

The others were no less eager to rush in and grab the food.

Shen Tangtang was in a bad mood. Lin Daiyu had finally left and she could eat meat again. Now a group of people appeared, all of them unfamiliar faces, and they started to blackmail her morally.

Damn, Shen Tangtang doesn’t even know how to write the word morality.

"Who are you? What are you doing outside my house?"

Hearing Shen Tangtang's soft and crisp voice, the four burly men inside looked at each other.

Girls like this are the easiest to control. They have finally escaped to Dawn City and now they want to eat something good. This girl was grilling meat just now, so there should be a lot of grilled meat at home.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. We are all refugees from Shengcheng who have fled famine. The district chief has arranged for us to live in this shanty town. My name is Wang Zhi, just call me Uncle Wang. We will be neighbors from now on, and I hope we can live in harmony."

The middle-aged man called Lao Wang walked out of the crowd. His voice was weak after a long journey, and there was a kind smile on his face.

It was obvious that he was the one who could speak among these people. After seeing him come out, those who were eager to try because of the mother and son's instigation just now quieted down, but their eyes were still fixed on Shen Tangtang, and from time to time they looked at the house behind her.

"Um."

Shen Tangtang nodded, glanced at the people around her, turned around and went into the house and closed the door.

Those who were seen by Shen Tangtang felt cold all over. The look in the little girl's eyes just now was like looking at a corpse, so cold that it made people tremble with fear.

A woman with a sack on her body looked at Shen Tangtang's closed door and said unwillingly: "Old Wang, what does this little girl mean? She just went back like this?"

The middle-aged man named Lao Wang raised his hand, looked at his neighbors who had followed him to escape famine, and closed his eyes to hide his jealousy.

After fleeing all the way, they were all so thin that only skin and bones were left. When they smelled the meat today, he knew that one or two of them had other thoughts.

But seeing that the little girl can still be fair and tender in this cannibalistic apocalypse and can even eat meat, I think she is not a simple person.

"Everyone, go home! Get up early today and go scavenging with the people from Dawn City."

Old Wang sighed, grabbed his drooling wife, and walked towards the shanty house at home.

The children who were standing at the door calling for help started crying when they saw their adults coming back.

They thought the adults didn't want them anymore, and this place was so unfamiliar and dark, like a man-eating mutant beast with its mouth wide open.

Hearing that there was no movement outside the house, Shen Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't believe that refugees were assigned to such a remote place.

Thinking of what happened today, Shen Tangtang rubbed her temples. Her place was remote and she had been barbecuing outside before, so she didn’t notice so many people around her for a moment.

It’s all because of the psychic who was following me today. I was so busy being on guard against them that I didn’t notice that there were so many ordinary people in the shantytown.

What's going on? It's indeed a turbulent year.

Shen Tangtang lay on the bed and picked up the quilt beside her. She was very tired today and didn't want to worry about these things. She threw two vine seeds at the door, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a second.

The moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the entire southern part of the shantytown was plunged into darkness. People who lacked night life had fallen asleep. In a house a hundred meters away from Shen Tangtang's shantytown, three men were sitting, seemingly discussing something.

In the early morning, Shen Tangtang was woken up by the noise nearby.

People from Shengcheng were teaming up to scavenge. Everyone was unfamiliar with Dawn City and needed to unite.

Shen Tangtang turned over while hugging the quilt, and sat up after a few seconds.

The noise outside is really getting louder and louder. I'm used to the quietness before, and now it's suddenly so lively that I feel a little dazed.

Even in the concentration camp, everyone was quietly doing their own things. Even the sound of getting up and going out to pick up rubbish was very low. It was nothing like the people today who were afraid that no one would know they were busy.

Shen Tangtang guessed one thing right. Many people who moved into the shantytowns now had loans from the shantytowns. Both the housing fees and the accommodation fees needed to be paid off later, otherwise they would be driven out of Dawn City. So everyone was very anxious, but they were not familiar with the scavenging grounds in Dawn City.

Knock, knock, knock~

There is a knock at the door.

When Shen Tangtang was washing up, she heard footsteps coming here. She thought they were just passing by, but she didn't expect that they were heading towards her home.

"who?"

"Little girl, it's me. I'm Wang Zhi from last night."

A dull voice came over with an accent. It was not as weak as last night. It seemed that he had a good rest last night.

Shen Tangtang took back the wash basin, poured water into the vegetable garden in the space, and asked in confusion: "Oh! Uncle Wang? What's the matter?"

"Nothing much. It's like this. Are you going to scavenge today? Where? We can team up and go together."

"No, I prefer to be alone."

Shen Tangtang refused. This kind of thing would happen once and for all. As a person with special abilities, she couldn't go to places they could go, and she didn't want to bring a burden with her.

"Well, all right then! Be careful, little girl, if you have any trouble, go to shanty 177. Your aunt is home."

Wang Zhi swallowed his saliva. They had originally planned to follow the little girl and the locals to scavenge, which would be easier. And thinking of the smell of barbecue last night...

"Uncle, doesn't she agree?"

A young man standing behind Wang Zhi rushed forward a little impatiently, intending to knock on the door, but was pulled back by Wang Zhi's quick eyes and hands.

"You kid, we just got here, don't make trouble first."

"Hmph, she's just a little girl, what skills can she have? The meat she gets to eat might be given to her by her lover."

"Stop talking! Let's go, if you're any later we'll be left behind by the scavenging team."

When Shen Tangtang packed up and went out, it was already quiet outside.

As they walked towards the city gate, they saw more and more people scavenging on the road. The people who had originally gone out to scavenger in Dawn City were wary of these outsiders. When they heard that they were asking about where to find wild vegetables with lower radiation levels, they all shook their heads.
