This look is so heartbreaking.
Xia Chujian didn't care about his dirty hair and rubbed his head.
The child tilted his head shyly and smiled at her, revealing a small birthmark on his neck that looked like a red star.
A very unique birthmark.
Xia Chujian took another look and simply stuffed the remaining low-grade nutrient solution into his hand. He asked in a low voice, "...Do you have any relatives at home?"
The child's eyes dimmed, he didn't lower his head, but just pursed his lips into a straight line.
It was such cold weather that the temperature dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius as soon as it got dark.
Can this two or three-year-old child survive outside alone?
Xia Chujian then asked the child: "...Where is your home?"
The child didn't say anything, just smiled at her, picked up the two nutrient solutions, and stood up and left.
Despite its small body, it walked unsteadily and looked like it could barely walk steadily, but its steps were very fast.
Not long after, he turned the corner and disappeared from Xia Chujian's sight.
Xia Chujian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this child has relatives and a place to live, but he just comes out to beg during the day.
Ping Qiong could see everything clearly through the glass window.
After Xia Chujian came back, he sighed and said, "This child is so young, how could his family bear to let him go out begging alone?"
She remembered that when she was little, she had nothing to eat and her aunt had to go out begging...
Ping Qiong seemed to remember something and her eyes dimmed.
Seeing her sudden silence, Xia Chujian quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard the Yangchun noodles here are especially delicious. Let's have a bowl each, and then go to the East District to show you a house?"
Ping Qiong collected her thoughts, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's have plain noodles! No, this time I want an egg!"
Xia Chujian said with great wealth: "Add two and I'll pay you for one egg."
Ping Qiong knew that Xia Chujian had always been frugal for her aunt, and was reluctant to even drink high-quality nutrient solution. When she was doing tasks outside, she always drank low-quality nutrient solution.
But now, this frugal little guy is actually willing to add an egg for her...
I couldn't help but feel touched and jokingly said, "Thank you, Lord!"
Xia Chujian waved his hand: "You're welcome!"
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong went to order food together. She specifically asked the chef to add an extra egg to Ping Qiong's meal, and then when paying the bill, she said that she would pay for the extra egg.
When the two bowls of plain noodles were served, there were indeed two poached eggs in Pingqiong's bowl.
She got up in the morning and hadn't had breakfast yet, but she started eating immediately.
Xia Chujian had already had breakfast, but the soup of the Yangchun noodles this time was particularly clear and smelled and tasted pretty good.
She also started eating with big mouthfuls.
The two of them quickly finished their noodles, left a small tip and left.
Coming out of the diner, the freezing cold almost froze them into popsicles.
"Run, it'll be fine once we get on the suspension train. It's so damn cold!" Xia Chujian rubbed his hands and pulled Ping Qiong forward.
The station of the inner city's suspended train is right next to the square garden, about 500 meters away from the small restaurant. However, it is impossible for them to walk there in a straight line. They have to go around various buildings, road signs and guard booths, and the actual distance is probably close to 1,000 meters.
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
Various private aircraft and the Correctional Service's patrol cars were flying in the air.
Self-driving cars were running amok on the road, and pedestrians were trying to avoid them.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong tried their best to stay on the sidewalk to avoid being hit by cars on the road.
Just when the two were about to reach the inner city's suspension train station, there was a sudden huge roar in the sky above their heads, as if the engine was out of control, or as if some ancient giant beast was falling from the sky and was about to fall in front of everyone.
Xia Chujian and Heping Qiong looked up at the same time, and suddenly saw in the sky that the two Correctional Service's patrol cars that had just picked up a group of orphans were emitting thick black smoke and falling rapidly to the ground.
And judging from the place where the crash was about to occur, it didn't seem to be far away from them!
Ping Qiong had always been the spotter for the sniper, Xia Chujian. She suddenly grabbed Xia Chujian's hand and said, "Run! Go to the center of the square!"
Ping Qiong then displayed the power of a C-class peak gene evolver, running so fast that his figure almost left an afterimage on the sidewalk.
Xia Chujian was first dragged by her to run, but Xia Chujian's speed could not keep up with the superhuman speed of the genetic evolutionist. Later, Ping Qiong carried him directly forward.
Xia Chujian realized that this weight was nothing to Ping Qiong, a C-level peak genetic evolver.
In less than a minute, they ran to the center of the square.
boom!
With a loud bang, the ground of the entire square garden seemed to shake.
The two turned around in horror.
The sidewalk in front of the small restaurant had been hit by a patrol car that fell from the sky!
The two patrol cars were smashed to pieces, emitting thick black smoke and huge flames rising into the sky.
People in the small restaurant rushed out, some holding fire extinguishers, some holding buckets, and poured water on the burning patrol car.
"Help! Call the Correctional Fire Department! Come put out the fire!"
"Run! The fire has started! The people inside are beyond saving!"
"How can there be no hope?! Didn't you see there were children inside?!"
