"Mom, I'll take them there myself tomorrow." Xiao He rubbed against his mother's warm arms, his tone very stubborn.
"You listen to your mother." The woman looked at her sensible daughter and felt very distressed.
She had no way of judging what kind of situation these people would encounter tomorrow, and she really couldn't let her daughter take risks. Her husband had already died for the country before the end of the world, and her daughter must not be in any danger, otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive for a day.
"Mom, even if I escape from this place alone, I won't be able to get out of this mountain successfully.
I don't have any antidote, so I can't hold on for long. Besides, if I escape, those supernatural beings in the innermost dungeon won't let me go." Xiao He said in a low voice.
If escaping could solve the problem, they would have left when the official people first came to find them, and they would not have been here for so long. If they wanted to get out alive and stay alive, they could only hope for the official base, so they risked their lives to be the undercover agent.
The woman cried silently when she heard her daughter's words. If it weren't for her ignorance and recklessness in the early days of the apocalypse, how could they have been caught here? Now, all of this was her fault.
As if Xiao He knew that his mother would blame herself, he suddenly changed the subject: "Mom, how did those two uncles and aunts get through the no-man's land?
Besides, they are not afraid of extreme cold weather.”
As ordinary people, Xiaohe and her mother would surely die if they tried to escape from here in such extreme cold weather. Even if they could get the medicine, it would be a matter of life and death for them to get out. Therefore, they risked their lives to help the people at the official security base.
Of course, they also envied the two people outside who were able to walk here together smoothly.
The woman wiped the tears from her face and looked at her daughter tenderly: "They are both people with special abilities. And there must be someone outside to help them."
"Mom, we will definitely be able to leave here alive, just like them." Xiao He said in a firm voice.
The woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, I can."
"It would be great if they could really help us find the potion, or if I could have super powers." Xiao He couldn't help but murmur. With super powers, he could at least go hunting and improve his mother's life.
The woman smiled at her daughter without saying anything. In this place, people without special powers lived a hard life, but they were free. People with special powers seemed to be doing well, but no one knew what they were going through.
On the contrary, she doesn't want her daughter to have special powers. She just wants her daughter to be safe and be an ordinary person.
Si Ye outside heard the conversation between mother and daughter clearly and couldn't help but think deeply. It seemed that the situation in the underground city was more complicated than he had known before.
The next morning, when it was just light and Xiao He had just woken up, Xiao Bai woke up Nan Muran and Si Ye.
"Why so early?" Nan Muran subconsciously glanced at her watch and found that it was only half past five in the morning.
Xiao He looked at Nan Muran who was still a little drowsy sitting on the sofa: "I work at the breakfast shop downstairs, it's time to go to work."
At this time, the woman also came out of the bedroom, holding a brazier in her hand. She looked at Nan Muran and Si Ye and said gently: "Have some porridge in the morning."
Si Ye quickly stood up, took the brazier from the woman's hand, and took out the iron bucket under the cutlery rack and put it on top.
"Thank you." The woman looked at Si Ye with some surprise. She didn't expect that he would do this.
Xiao He was also very surprised and wanted to thank him, but he didn't say anything.
The woman set the pot on the stove, added water, and opened the can next to it. She scooped out a flat spoonful of brown rice, and after thinking for a moment, she added another spoonful.
Her slowness made Nan Muran realize that there shouldn't be much rice in the bucket: "No need to make breakfast, I have a lot of food in my backpack."
As she spoke, Nan Muran opened her backpack and took out four packets of instant noodles, some bread, and the frozen soy milk that He Yifeng's grandmother had prepared for her before she set out.
Xiao He's face changed drastically when he saw her actions, and then he stepped forward and put all her things back into her backpack: "You must not take these things out here again, do you understand?"
Nan Muran frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Ms. Nan, the things you just took from this place can buy two lives." The woman, who had come back to her senses from Nan Muran's things, explained to her helplessly.
"It can also bring about fatal disaster." Xiao He added from the side.
The woman nodded and poured the brown rice into the pot: "Let's have porridge."
Nan Muran silently zipped up her backpack and said, "Is it not okay to eat secretly?"
"Even if you burn a plastic bag, you will be dragged out and punished if you are sued. What's more, the smell of those things is so strong, we can't take the risk." Xiao He swallowed and spoke in a firm tone.
"So this is what you usually eat?" Si Ye couldn't help but frowning as he looked at the coarse grains mixed with some bran in the pot.
The woman smiled at him and said, "Sometimes we have potatoes and sweet potatoes, and occasionally we can try steamed buns. The breakfast shop where Xiaohe works sells steamed buns, steamed buns with exotic meat."
Nan Muran thought about it and took out the bun she had cut earlier from the space: "Then eat this."
Xiao He was a little dumbfounded when she saw the buns appearing out of thin air in her hands, but her saliva started to flow down first. The tempting white buns were so fragrant.
The woman originally wanted to stop him, but the moment she saw Xiao He's reaction, she couldn't say no.
Nan Muran directly put the buns in Xiaohe's hands: "Vegetarian buns, the taste is less, eat it with confidence."
Xiao He subconsciously looked at his mother and handed the bun in his hand to her: "Mom, this is for you."
The woman's tears immediately rolled down her cheeks, and she looked extremely sad.
"Mom, don't cry." Xiao He looked at his mother and was at a loss.
The woman nodded and blamed herself: "I'm sorry, Xiaohe. I'm sorry to you and your father."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xiao He hurriedly went up to help her wipe her tears.
Nan Muran herself didn't expect that a few vegetarian buns could make them cry like this, and she was a little confused for a moment.
Si Ye beside him sighed softly, picked up a bun and put it in the woman's hand: "Eat breakfast first. After breakfast, Xiao He still has to go to work, don't be late."
The two of them came back to their senses instantly and were both very embarrassed. On the one hand, it was because Xiao He had to go to work, and on the other hand, it was because they actually forgot that there were outsiders present.
"Thank you." The woman thanked the two men while pinching the bun.
Nan Muran smiled lightly: "You're welcome, I still have a lot here, don't worry about eating, it's enough."
Even though they were extremely hungry, they were still eager, so the mother and daughter only ate two each. They were not without sense, and they naturally understood how precious food was in the end times.
When others give you something, it’s with good intentions, so you can’t go too far.
Just as they finished their meal, there was a knock on the door, and the other party's voice was obviously angry: "Li family, are you two home?"
