The iron bucket made another crackling sound, and then the kettle let out a long whistle.
Du Rui responded, stood up and looked over here.
Investigator Zhao Yize immediately gave an order: "Hurry, everyone keep pretending to play!" As he said that, he took the little monster and pounced on the Ultraman in Wang Xiaohu's hand.
Wang Xiaohu: “?”
"Wait! You are a monster, how can you beat me, Ultraman?" Wang Xiaohu raised his little neck in disbelief, twisted the Ultraman in his hand, and pressed Zhao Yize's little monster under him.
As if that wasn't enough, she grabbed a pink plastic frying pan from the girls' area across the street and hit the little monster hard on the head.
"Oh! Wang Xiaohu, it's my fault!" shouted Fang Xinyue who was having fun.
Wang Xiaohu deliberately raised the pink frying pan high, with an expression that said, "Why doesn't anyone understand my distress?" He frowned and said, "Just let me use it for a bit, I'll return it to you later!"
"No, I still have to cook for my darling baby!" Fang Xinyue was angry and stood up to grab it.
Yu Jiaojiao, who was still playing the role of a baby, couldn't stand it anymore and pretended to cry: "Waah~ Mommy, I'm hungry."
"Listen, my baby is crying because he is hungry. Give the pot back to me quickly!" Fang Xinyue began to roll up her sleeves.
Wang Xiaohu puffed out his chest and stood up: "Ah, just use it on me! Just once! Just once!"
He was the oldest child in the class, almost five years old, tall and strong, almost half a head taller than Fang Xinyue. When he stood up, Fang Xinyue could not reach him.
Zhao Yize looked at this inexplicable farce and rolled his eyes in disgust: Childish!
Seeing the two cubs' little war intensifying, Qi Mi hurried over and asked, "Why are you arguing again?"
Du Rui tore open the instant noodles bag, put the noodles into the kettle, put down the lid and came over.
Fang Xinyue had rolled up half of her sleeves, grabbed Wang Xiaohu's arm with one hand, and raised the other hand high: "Teacher, she took my small frying pan!"
"I just want to use it!" Wang Xiaohu frowned anxiously.
"Yes, teacher, she bullied my mom!" Yu Jiaojiao sat up and said seriously, "Xinyue's mom was preparing to fry sausages for me when Wang Xiaohu took the pan away."
Her biological mother Zheng Yuanyuan looked at her speechlessly: "..."
Wang Xiaohu saw that the two girls were targeting him, so he put the blame on Zhao Yize: "Well, whoever made him kill my Ultraman with a monster, I will give my Ultraman a frying pan!"
"I didn't mean it!" Zhao Yize widened his eyes.
After hearing this, Du Rui had a blank expression on his face and even felt like laughing. He took the seasoning packet and turned to leave.
Qi Fan thought for a moment, then found a plastic gun for a little plastic man from a pile of toys and handed it to Wang Xiaohu: "How can Ultraman possibly go with a pink frying pan? I think this is better, a machine gun, a hot weapon."
Wang Xiaohu took a look, thought for a moment, and threw the frying pan on the ground: "Give it back to you!"
Just as he was about to grab the gun from Qi Mi's hand, Qi Mi deliberately raised his hand and said, "Wang Xiaohu, throwing toys is not very manly. What should you do?"
Wang Xiaohu sighed loudly, picked up the small frying pan on the ground and handed it back to Fang Xinyue, dragging out his words and saying, "Here—I'll give it back to you—"
Fang Xinyue snatched it back.
Qi Mi continued to smooth things over: "Xinyue, Wang Xiaohu has returned your things to you, so smile?"
Fang Xinyue moved towards Qi Mi and gave him a polite fake smile: Hey.
Qi Mi smiled, and upon smelling the fragrant aroma of fresh shrimp and fish noodles filling the room, he called the little ones to eat. A packet of hot instant noodles was just right for the six little ones.
The three teachers could only hold a paper cup of instant noodle soup and watch them eat.
The remaining bag of bread and instant noodles had to be left for the four sleeping children.
"Don't worry, let me go out for a while, we can always find something to eat." Qi Mi blew the noodle soup in his hand and took a small sip.
Du Rui held the paper cup in both hands and used it to warm his hands: "I'll join you."
Qi Fan: "You come with me and leave Teacher Zheng here alone?"
Du Rui didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Zheng Yuanyuan. Coincidentally, Zheng Yuanyuan also looked up at him, and he immediately lowered his head.
The three of them were silent for a while.
Soon, Du Rui sighed slowly: "I just feel that I am a bit of a burden."
"We're relying on you to protect Teacher Zheng and the children. What's the point of being a burden? And if you didn't bring your lighter, how would we even have a fire? And eating instant noodles is simply a dream..." Qi Mi took a sip of soup and continued, "Let me tell you, surviving in the apocalypse requires more than just fighting and killing. Logistics are also essential. Let's just think of it as a division of labor. I'll be in charge of the charge, and you guys will be in charge of the headquarters."
After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank the last mouthful of soup. After putting the cup away, she took off her down jacket.
"Ah? Teacher Qi, you are going out again?" Wang Xiaohu asked in surprise, still chewing instant noodles in his mouth.
Qi Mi tied her collarbone hair up neatly and said with a smile: "Yes, didn't I tell you that we all have a mission, I have to go out on patrol and be responsible for your safety."
"Wow, teacher, are you also Ultraman?" Wang Xiaohu was surprised, his mouth opened into an 'O' shape.
Qi Mi smiled and was about to answer when Fang Xinyue spoke first: "Teacher Qi is a girl, how could she be Ultraman? The teacher must be the Little Magic Fairies or Sailor Moon!"
Qi Fan felt pretty good when he heard it, raised his thumb to praise her, and said with a smile: "Yes, the teacher is Sailor Moon."
Yu Jiaojiao held a mouthful of noodles in her mouth and raised her little head: "Teacher, can you transform?"
"Of course, but it's a secret and can't be seen by others."
Qi Mi signaled Du Rui and Zheng Yuanyuan with her eyes. Seeing them nod, she walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
The gentle eyes became sharp the moment he turned around. Qi Mi raised the corners of his lips and touched the fruit knife hidden at his waist.
I raised my phone to take a look at the walls around me. The number of fleshworms had obviously increased, and the colorful spiders on the spider web were the size of a hand, not to mention the mice, which were already large in size. After the mutation, they were now as big as cats.
The mouse was eating the fleshy worms, its yellow rodent teeth covered with mucus, and now it had noticed Qi Mi here.
She hooked her finger at the mouse, turned and ran out the door.
Two mice chased out like the wind.
Feeling that the distance was about right, Qi Mi suddenly stopped, pulled out a fruit knife, and stabbed towards the mouse's heart.
squeak!
The shot hit the target, and the rat whose body was pierced let out a scream.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Mi quickly flew towards the head of another mouse.
The mouse screamed and struggled to roll over to escape, but fell down after just a few steps.
The sound of running in the corridor just now and the two squeaking sounds in the yard now attracted the attention of everyone in the Douding class.
Hearing Wang Xiaohu's smoky voice asking, "Is Teacher Qi fighting monsters?", Qi Mi chuckled, shook off the blood on the fruit knife, and put it back into the sheath at his waist.
Apart from these two terrifyingly large mice, she thought she could still handle the remaining white bugs and spiders. But after taking two steps, she still felt uneasy, so she turned back to the door and knocked on the classroom window.
"Who is it? Teacher Qi or the monster?" This time it was Yu Jiaojiao who asked first.
Qi Fan thought these children were so adorable that her tone softened unconsciously: "It's me."
The next second, she heard the sound of running shoes coming from the room, but she was stopped by Zheng Yuanyuan after a few steps. Soon, Du Rui lifted a corner of the curtain by the window: "What's wrong?"
Qi Fan: "Remember to bring a torch when you go out. There are bugs and poisonous spiders at the door."
Du Rui frowned: "A lot?"
Qi Fan: "Not much, but big."
Du Rui was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed even deeper. "...Yeah, I've got that." He had just lowered the curtain when he lifted it up again. "Be careful."
Qi Mi turned around, smiled and raised his thumbs up: "Don't worry, I'm a professional."
Du Rui stood by the window and looked at her until the beam of light gradually became smaller and disappeared around the corner, then he lowered the curtains again.
Zheng Yuanyuan collected the paper cups the children had used to finish their instant noodles and threw them into the trash can. She looked up and mouthed to Du Rui, "What's wrong?"
Du Rui shook his head and mouthed "It's okay." He looked up and saw the six children gathered together, looking mysterious.
He made a gesture to Zheng Yuanyuan to keep quiet, and Zheng Yuanyuan understood what he meant. The two of them slowed down their pace and approached them carefully.
"Look, the teacher doesn't let us get close to the window. There must be something wrong!" Zhao Yize was holding another meeting with them.
Yu Jiaojiao disagreed: "Mom said it's cool by the window and she's afraid I'll catch a cold, so that's why she won't let me go over there. What's the problem?"
"That's right!" Wang Xiaohu also supported Yu Jiaojiao, and he still felt a little resentful about being defeated by the little monster.
Zhao Yize was anxious: "We are not allowed to go out or get close to the windows. How can this be normal?" Seeing that he could not rely on Yu Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaohu, he could only look at other people.
Fang Xinyue blinked, not quite understanding, and pulled Wu Muchen, who had been silent beside her, twice.
Wu Muchen was Du Rui's little nephew, skinny and small, with round eyes like a deer. Qi Mi couldn't find a boy's down jacket, so she made him a pink one.
He hasn't spoken a word since he put on the clothes.
Fang Xinyue pulled him, but he ignored her.
At this moment, Yu Jiaojiao suddenly exclaimed: "I know what the teachers are hiding from us."
Zhao Yizhe was very pleased that someone was on his side and asked hurriedly, "What?"
Yu Jiaojiao frowned seriously and started to act aggressively: "It must be because... there's a ghost outside!"
The five children were silent for a few seconds.
Zhao Yize was so scared that he took a step back and waved his hands: "No, it's impossible! My dad said there are no ghosts in the world!"
"Yes! I've seen it!" Yu Jiaojiao retorted confidently, "Long hair, red skirt, so scary--" She was gesturing, and when she looked up, she saw Zheng Yuanyuan and Du Rui standing not far away looking at them, and she closed her mouth before she finished speaking.
Zheng Yuanyuan tilted her head and smiled.
Yu Jiaojiao: Scared!
