"Take your gun."
Shen Nanxing looked at him expressionlessly, pointed to the door, and the door opened by itself without any wind. "Turn around and get out immediately!"
"Fine, I'll leave!"
Yunfan was pleased with himself after getting the weapon and acting smug, completely ignoring Shen Nanxing's cold face.
She also grabbed some dried meat and canned fruit that Jiang Nian'an had specially placed in the small cabinet next to Shen Nanxing's desk before running away in a flash.
Before leaving, he turned back and made a face at Chen Nanxing.
"That brat has no maturity whatsoever. He should be thrown into the special training ground with Xiao Zhanzhan and the others to toughen him up!"
Shen Nanxing muttered a few words to himself in an annoyed tone, then continued to work with his head down.
......
After leaving the Shen family, Jiang Nian'an headed straight for the Beijing base.
She took out one-third of the bright red liquid and white pills that she had obtained from Bi Zechen and the others, which resembled an antidote.
We need to send it to the research institute as soon as possible to analyze its components and see if we can make the same thing.
As we approached the base, a boy of about seven or eight years old suddenly rushed out from a small alley, holding the hand of a little girl who was a little over one year old but not yet two, and who was already staggering as she walked.
Both children were dressed very thinly, their little faces were red from the cold, and their exposed hands and feet were blue and purple from the cold, covered with chilblains.
Jiang Nian'an paused for a moment, and the little boy seized the opportunity, kneeling down in front of her with his sister.
"Kind sister, please give us some food!"
Jiang Nian'an didn't say anything, but glanced into the alley.
A few small heads were peeking out from the entrance of a small courtyard a little to the left.
Seeing Jiang Nian'an looking over, he quickly shrank back.
Jiang Nian'an turned around and walked into the alley.
"Sister, sister, we don't mean any harm. It's okay if you don't want to give it to us, sister!"
Upon seeing this, the little boy immediately panicked, grabbed his sister, and chased after them.
Jiang Nian'an ignored him and went straight into the courtyard.
Seven or eight children, about the same age as the little boy, huddled under the side room, each covering their mouths tightly.
When they saw Jiang Nian'an enter, their eyes widened suddenly, and their expressions turned to terror in an instant.
Two of the more timid children even burst into tears.
"We don't want any more food! Please don't hit us, waaaaah!"
"Sister, hit me if you want, this was all my idea!"
The little boy rushed out from behind Jiang Nian'an. Although he was terrified, he still stood firmly in front of the other children.
Jiang Nian'an ignored him and walked around the courtyard.
The courtyard, which had been uninhabited for so long, looked particularly dilapidated and desolate.
The side rooms were covered with a thick layer of dust, while the main room in the middle was in a slightly better condition, with a few dirty newspapers and a few tattered clothes that were too worn to be used as rags scattered on the floor.
"Where are your family members?"
Jiang Nian'an came out of the house and looked at the children huddled together, shivering.
"They're all dead."
When their families were mentioned, the children's faces showed sadness, but even more so, a numbness born from being accustomed to life and death.
"Then why don't you go to the welfare home at the Beijing base?"
Jiang Nian'an remembered that a welfare home for orphans had been newly built in the Beijing base, where children under the age of fifteen could live.
Although it's not perfect yet, it can guarantee basic food and clothing.
The Shen family also rallied several other families to jointly donate a batch of supplies to the welfare home and planned to relocate the welfare home to a more remote area to better ensure the safety of the children.
"We don't want to go."
Jiang Nian'an noticed that when the little boy mentioned the orphanage, a clear look of disgust flashed in his eyes, along with a hint of... fear?
The other children were shaking even more violently.
This aroused Jiang Nian'an's suspicion.
"Come inside, it's too cold outside."
After she finished speaking, she went into the house first, and took out an electric heater at the same time.
The children looked at each other, then looked up at the little boy in front of them and stared at him as they made their decision.
Jiang Nian'an turned on the electric heater and took out some hot food to keep it warm on the heater.
The smell of food seeped out through the cracked window and into the children's noses.
"Brother, the food smells delicious!"
The little girl sniffled, her almost frozen little hands clutching the little boy's clothes, her bright and longing eyes staring intently into the room.
"Let's go in. Even if we die, we'll die with our fill!"
The little boy licked his chapped lips, stamped his foot to make up his mind, pulled his sister along, pushed open the door, and carefully entered the house.
The other children quickly stood up and followed.
As soon as they entered the room, a wave of heat hit them, and the children instinctively let out a long sigh of relief. For a moment, they stood there, stunned, enjoying the warmth they had finally received.
The frozen body, like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, gradually warmed and revived.
Just then, a clanging sound was heard—
Jiang Nian'an gently tapped the electric heater to attract the children's attention and reminded them, "If you don't close the door soon, all the heat in the room will escape!"
The children immediately snapped out of their daze, quickly closed the door, and then gathered around the electric heater, nervously staring at the food on it, swallowing their saliva repeatedly.
One serving per person, help yourselves!
As Jiang Nian'an handed out chopsticks to them, she said, "After you finish eating, I have something to ask you."
The children went to see the little boy again.
The little boy observed Jiang Nian'an's expression and saw that her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to want to harm them, so he tentatively reached out and picked up a dish of food.
