The little boy didn't say anything, but just gripped the food in his hand tightly, stood up warily, and took several steps back against the container.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to steal your food."
Xiao Longzhan also took two steps back, maintaining a safe distance from the little boy.
After thinking for a moment, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of milk candies, and handed them over, saying, "Here, have some."
Fearing the boy wouldn't want it, Xiao Longzhan deliberately placed it where the boy had been sitting, and then pulled Yun En away.
However, as she turned a corner, she stopped again and secretly peeked out from behind the container to look at the boy.
After Xiaolongzhan and Yunen left, the boy carefully walked to the pile of pebbles where the candy was placed.
He looked around warily, and after confirming that no one was around, he grabbed the candy and ran away.
Before long, a burst of children's cheers rang out from behind a container in the distance.
But it quickly disappeared, replaced by the muffled sounds of sticks striking flesh and the suppressed cries of children.
"Big brother, let's go take a look!" Xiao Longzhan walked towards the source of the sound with a cold face.
Yun En was numb and followed behind him without saying a word.
The two quickly arrived at the place where the crying was coming from, where seven or eight teenagers were squatting next to the boy and his friends.
While watching them cry, she chewed on the milk candy she had snatched from the boys, with a few thick wooden sticks, stained with dried blood, lying carelessly at her feet.
"Oh, where did this young master come from?"
A boy with a buzz cut saw Xiao Longzhan, winked at the others, and then stood up, carrying a wooden stick.
Even children from wealthy families come here, and the dogs bark twice as they pass by in this container area to express their disgust...
A malice flashed in the buzz-cut boy's eyes; he hated rich kids like this little brat the most.
Why is it that they risk their lives and end up with nothing more than a bite or two of leftovers, while these rich kids can live better than they did before the apocalypse without doing anything?
The short-haired boy gripped the wooden stick tightly and, along with several others, approached Xiao Longzhan and Yun En step by step.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Yun En stepped forward and blocked Xiao Longzhan's path, then reached for his waist and took the gun from his waistband.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at the boy's forehead.
Many survivors had already gathered around after hearing the commotion, and their expressions changed drastically when they saw what was happening.
Most of the people living in the container area are ordinary people without superpowers.
In their eyes, guns, zombies, and mutated plants and animals that could easily take their lives are all equally dangerous.
The buzz-cut boy was also scared, but he still stubbornly said, "It's just a fake gun, you think you can scare me?"
His eyes, fixed on the muzzle of the gun, and his deathly pale face clearly showed the panic that gripped him.
As for the other boys and girls, they had already sneaked into the crowd and run away when Yun En took out his gun.
"A fake gun?"
Yun En smirked and pulled the trigger, firing a shot at the feet of the buzz-cut boy.
With a loud bang, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, and someone nearby yelled "Ah!" before scattering like birds and beasts, running away in panic.
The children who had been frightened to tears by the teenagers were also taken away by the adults from their respective families in the chaos.
In a short moment, only Xiao Longzhan and Yun En remained on the spot, along with the stiff-looking buzz-cut boy standing opposite them.
"Big brother!"
Yun En took a few more steps forward with the gun until the gun barrel was pressed against the boy's head. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Longzhan suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong, young master?" Yun En turned to look at Xiao Longzhan.
"Let's go back. I have something very important to tell my sister and brother-in-law."
Xiao Longzhan lowered his head, his face tense, as if he was thinking about something.
Yun En had only intended to scare the boy, so upon hearing this, he put away his gun and returned to Xiao Longzhan's side.
After thinking for a moment, he bent down and hugged Xiao Longzhan in his arms. "I have long legs, so I can walk fast."
Xiao Longzhan didn't say anything, just nodded, letting Yun En carry him outside.
The short-haired boy stared blankly as they left.
A moment later, he took out the remaining three candies from his pocket, looked down at them for a while, and then suddenly turned and walked towards the innermost container.
"Go, take care of him."
After the short-haired boy left, a hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out.
As the sound faded, a dark figure chased after the short-haired boy.
——————
'Boom!'
A sudden rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, dark clouds covered the heavens, and a biting wind blew so fiercely that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
"Big brother, turn ahead."
As they approached the Yun family's residence, Xiao Longzhan pointed to a corner ahead and said, "My sister and brother-in-law are here."
"How did you know?" Yun En asked, startled and puzzled.
"I knew it!" Xiao Longzhan looked up at the sky and urged, "Hurry up, or we'll be soaked to the bone!"
Seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall, Yun En suppressed her curiosity and strode towards the corner.
"Little Zhanzhan!"
Just as I reached the corner, a gentle female voice rang out.
Little Longzhan's face instantly lit up with a smile. He jumped off Yun En and rushed into Jiang Nian'an's arms, "Sister~"
"I only see my sister, not my brother-in-law, huh?"
A pair of large hands reached out from Jiang Nian'an's side and took Xiao Longzhan directly from Jiang Nian'an's arms, subtly pinching the flesh on his lower belly.
The little guy has gotten quite a bit heavier in just one day.
Xiao Longzhan whimpered and nestled limply against his shoulder, whispering a few words.
After hearing Xiao Longzhan's words, Shen Nanxing's expression turned serious. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Xiao Longzhan nodded emphatically.
"Good lad, if that's really the case, then you've done a great service!"
Shen Nanxing pinched his chubby little face and smiled.
"Really, is that pattern important?"
While asking this question, Xiao Longzhan was thinking about how much gold this achievement could be exchanged for if it were true.
"Oh my, you have little secrets now, should I stand a little further away?"
Jiang Nian'an crossed her arms, glanced at the two of them from the side, and deliberately spoke with a hint of jealousy.
Actually, she was happier than anyone else to see the two of them getting along better and better.
The two men, however, thought she was genuinely unhappy, so they immediately composed themselves and tried to explain.
"An'an..."
"elder sister..."
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."
Seeing the two of them looking anxious, Jiang Nian'an chuckled and turned to Yun En, who seemed a little lost after seeing Shen Nanxing, and said, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Zhanzhan for us. Let's get in the car first."
Large raindrops have already begun to fall.
