Chapter 97: Infernal Earthquake
The 423rd day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao walked along the migration team with his head down, feeling the pain at the broken skin at the corner of his mouth, not wanting to recall the embarrassing scene in the car just now.
Although Xiao Qiao has become smaller in size, she still exercises a lot and runs for at least two hours every day. She escaped from the car under the pretext of companionship.
Without realizing how lame the excuse was, Xiao Qiao was no longer an ordinary cat, but a powerful mature mutant animal. He had long been accustomed to going out with Qiao Man and did not need anyone to accompany him.
Jojo did not forget to wear a hat to cover her blonde hair, and a mask to hide her cold face. Not being afraid of trouble is one thing, but causing trouble is another. During the migration period, it is better to keep a low profile.
Now that I'm out, I'll take advantage of the team's break to walk around.
After awakening her elven bloodline, Qiao Qiao felt as light as a swallow. In order to test her current physical condition, she ran as fast as she could and reached the civilian team in less than half an hour. She only felt a little tired.
The situation of the civilian team is even more miserable than in the shelter during the extreme cold period. At that time, at least there was a shack, but now most people can only sleep on the ground, and those with better conditions are lucky to have a small tent.
Fortunately, the temperature is good now, over 20 degrees, otherwise I don’t know what would happen.
Qiao Qiao stopped and her eyes fell on a few people who were sneaking out of the team. She followed them curiously, always keeping a distance from them.
Another benefit of elven blood is that the five senses are well developed, and one can still hear the other person's voice even if they are a hundred meters apart.
One of them was a formally dressed man with a buzz cut: "Brother Chen, is this the person you asked me to take away?"
Another middle-aged but still handsome man nodded proudly, "Yes, I have three wives outside."
After saying this, he looked bitter: "You also know the situation of my family. If your sister-in-law knew and told her father, it would be troublesome. Besides, the higher-ups ordered that you can only bring your immediate family members, partners and children. My family's quota is full. You are alone, and the quota is vacant anyway, so you might as well use it. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
"this……"
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiao Sun, do you still remember how you entered the Federation?"
The man with a crew cut lowered his head and hesitated: "Brother Chen, I will always remember your help, but three wives..."
Hearing this, the handsome man was relieved. "Don't worry, the higher-ups are very busy with the migration and don't have time to check carefully. When the time comes, just say that one is your mother and the other is your daughter."
He suddenly smiled, his handsome face full of vulgarity: "On the way, if you can't bear it, you can..."
Qiao Qiao frowned and left, feeling bored. She thought it was some interesting gossip.
Then when I went back, I saw a girl being surrounded by her relatives.
The thin woman held two bottles of water and three pieces of bread in her hands. "Why is there so little food? Did you hide it? Hand it over!"
The girl said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I really don't have anything left. This is all I have."
A middle-aged man who looked honest next to him was now furious: "How is it possible? Didn't you join the family members' team? Isn't he the leader? You are such a loser!"
The girl burst into tears. "He is just a small leader. The supplies he distributes every day are barely enough for the two of us to live on. How can there be any extra?"
The woman ignored him and continued to make a scene, "I don't care, you figure it out yourself. Your father and I gave birth to you and raised you, do you want to watch us starve to death?"
The girl bowed her head and cried.
Qiao Qiao overheard it and left quickly.
"Thief! Catch the thief!"
A sharp voice cut through the silence of the team.
"Get out of here!" A man dressed in black and carrying a baseball bat kicked away the little girl who was trying to stop him.
The little girl was only 8 or 9 years old. She rolled on the ground twice and her knees were skinned. She crawled back in pain and hugged the man's thigh. "Hurry up and help me!"
"Get away!" The man kicked her twice more, but the girl still held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Stop what you are doing!"
When the people around heard the child crying, they rushed over to stop him.
"Damn it." The man cursed, put the package in his arms into the system backpack under the cover of night, and then spread his hands.
"You said I was a thief. What evidence do you have?"
The girl was helped up by a kind pregnant woman. She wiped away her tears and said word by word: "I saw you take my package away with my own eyes. It was in your arms just now."
The man opened his clothes to reveal his empty chest, and said in a scoundrelly tone, "Really? I think it's you, little brat, who is slandering me!"
The little girl's face was pale but her tone was firm: "Because you put the package into the system grid."
The man's expression froze, and he immediately raised his voice to hide his guilt: "Don't talk nonsense! Besides, who told you not to let go? What does it have to do with me if the things are lost? Get out of here!"
Qiao Qiao frowned. With the excellent eyesight of an elf, she did see that there was a black package in the man's arms.
What kind of person is he who steals a little girl's things?
"Why are you making so much noise so late at night!" A tall man in uniform walked over with an impatient look on his face.
The man spoke first: "Captain, you are finally here, you have to make the decision for me. This little girl insisted that I stole her things, but she didn't even open her eyes to see if she had anything worth stealing."
No matter how mature the little girl was, she had never seen such a shameless person. She cried and explained, "No, it's not what he said."
The man immediately interrupted: "Captain, she accused me of stealing. You know my character."
The captain of the inspection team rolled his eyes. Your character! It is because I know more that I am more sure that you stole it, but...
He still said to the little girl: "Do you have any evidence?"
The little girl tearfully said, "I saw it with my own eyes. The package was in his arms just now. He put it away when he heard someone coming. I swear."
The supervisory captain was merciless: "Swearing is useless, you have to produce evidence, otherwise it's your slander."
No matter how much the little girl had been through, she was still in despair. "Why is this happening? Can't you just ask him to take out everything in the system grid? I beg you, the things in that bag are not valuable, they are all photos of my parents."
The man's face darkened when he heard this, realizing that he had failed. He originally thought that the child was lucky enough to draw a high-level card. Seeing that she was so cherishing the package, he thought it was something good, but he didn't expect it to be just some shabby photos.
Now that things have come to this, he can't admit that he stole it, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "I said I didn't take it, so I didn't take it. If you keep pestering me, I will sue you for defamation."
"That's enough. No one else saw him stealing. Let's just forget about it. Remember to keep your valuables safe in the future." The captain waved to the people watching the excitement, "Go away."
The man secretly gave the captain half a pack of cigarettes: "Hehe, thank you, captain."
The captain gave a few words of advice for the sake of the cigarettes: "Be careful, kid. If you offend someone who doesn't change his ways, I can't protect you."
The man nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll just hang around the civilian team. There are ordinary people here with no background, so nothing will happen."
The little girl stood where she was, not daring to resist the captain's orders. She casually raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes filled with resentment and resentment.
When Qiao Qiao saw this look, she remembered herself in the dream as a weak and incompetent person, so she said, "Wait."
The man was alert: "Who are you?"
Qiao Qiao stood in front of the girl with a blank expression on her face: "Witness, I saw with my own eyes that you had a package in your arms just now."
The man seemed to have his tail stepped on. "Don't talk nonsense. Which eye did you see it with?"
She snorted, "I saw it with both eyes. If you don't admit it, it just so happens that Captain Wang Fuyun, who has a mind-reading card in the capital district, has just arrived. Why not ask her to identify it?"
"you……"
"Who are you?"
The captain of the inspection team interrupted the man. He was able to get to this position not because of his own ability, but simply because his family had connections in the federal high-level. He did receive news that someone from the capital area was coming, and he also saw a helicopter landing in front of the team he was not qualified to reach. However, all this was not known to the residents of the civilian team. Who was this woman wearing a hat and a mask?
Qiao Qiao was too lazy to play the game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. A strong wind blew up beside him, blowing people all over the place. "Do you know who I am now?"
After the wind stopped, the captain got up from the ground, his expression distorted, and turned back to slap the man, "Hurry up and take out the things."
"you?"
The captain cursed and tried to distance himself from the matter: "I suspected you in the first place. Now that we have a witness, what else can you say?" He leaned in closer and lowered his voice, "If you don't want to die, take it out."
The man's pupils trembled. Even if he was slow to react, he realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended. He bowed his head and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I was bewildered. I won't dare to do it again."
The little girl took the package, opened it and checked, and found that all the dozen or so photos were there.
After the matter was over, Qiao Qiao turned and left. If she didn't know, it would be fine, but if she saw it with her own eyes and didn't do anything, she would always feel guilty.
"elder sister."
She turned around and saw the little girl looking at her eagerly. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, sister. I'll give you an apple. I wish you peace and safety in the future."
Qiao Qiao hesitated for a few seconds, but finally did not reject the little girl's kindness and took the apple. "Thank you. I hope you will become stronger and never encounter such a thing again."
The girl nodded vigorously, the little hair on her head trembling constantly, "Although I don't have the strength now, I will try my best."
"Okay, I've been looking forward to this day. Sister will give you a small gift, so you better do your best." Qiao Qiao took out a blue card.
[R-rank card boxing gloves *1]
[Boxing gloves: gloves used by boxing champions, wearing them will give you the strength of a top boxer]
God helps those who help themselves. Qiao Qiao will always help those who have the courage to change their fate, whether it is Xia Momo or the little girl.
After all, humans are a race that can survive because of cooperation and mutual assistance.
“Sister, this…” The little girl was stunned. This offensive R-level card was of extraordinary value, but she actually gave it directly to herself when they met for the first time.
Qiao Qiao smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, "Take it, use it to become stronger." Then he turned and left.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
The little girl held the card in her hands as if it were her treasure and spoke solemnly to the departing figure.
Qiao Qiao returned to the outside of the RV, walked around the door a few times, and finally took a deep breath and opened the door and went in.
Yueying heard the voice, turned her head and smiled gently: "I'm back."
"Yeah." Qiao Qiao looked away immediately when her eyes met Yueying's, but she couldn't help but sneak a glance at the corner of his mouth.
On Yueying's pale face, the red mark at the corner of her mouth was particularly obvious.
Qiao Qiao closed her eyes in despair, how could it be broken?
Fortunately, he didn't mention the embarrassing situation just now. "You haven't eaten for 24 hours. Are you hungry?"
Qiao Qiao touched her flat stomach and found that she didn't feel hungry after waking up.
Yueying saw her confusion and said, "It's normal. When a special bloodline is just awakened, its energy will overflow."
Qiao Qiao tilted her head: "How do you know?"
Yueying shook her head slightly: "I don't know either. Sometimes the answer will appear in my mind automatically."
Qiao Qiao continued to ask: "Your appearance, my transformation into an elf, and the existence of the system, what on earth is going on?"
Yueying raised the corner of her mouth and smoothed the wrinkles between her brows: "Don't worry, the system will not harm humans."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyes to look at him: "Are you sure?"
He nodded firmly, "I promise."
Qiao Qiao then realized that their actions were too intimate. Looking at Yueying's face so close, she subconsciously pushed him away and turned to go into the house: "It's getting late. I'm going to bed first. Good night."
Yueying was left standing alone in the living room, shaking her head helplessly, "Good night."
