Chapter 159: Did I harm him?
There was no sunlight coming through the gap, and Xiang Yu squatted and looked for a long time before his eyes adjusted to the darkness.
Under the gap was a room buried in the ruins. She didn't know what Xie Chunyan wanted her to see.
Turning his head to look at Xie Chunyan, Xiang Yu frowned. Xie Chunyan pointed to the left with her right hand, motioning Xiang Yu to look over there.
Xiang Yu was confused. After staring to the left for a long time, a woman's corpse slowly appeared in front of him.
I couldn't see clearly before because it was too dark, but in this room under the ruins, there was not only a woman's corpse, but also a living pale little boy.
The little boy hid behind the woman's corpse, with various food packaging bags scattered at his feet. He seemed to have noticed Xiang Yu as well, and was staring at the gap with a vigilant look in his eyes.
Xiang Yu looked carefully for a while and found that there were no signs of infection on the child. Xie Chunyan behind him reached out and patted Xiang Yu.
"You saw it too," Xie Chunyan said with a puzzled look on her face. She had carried thousands of corpses in the past two days and knew clearly the symptoms of being infected by nuclear radiation.
But she didn't see any of that in this child, which was so strange.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go call the team leader," Xie Chunyan said and quickly turned and left. The child was still alive and had to be rescued immediately.
It would take her and Xiang Yu until dark to move all the ruins. Xiang Yu looked at the little boy under the ruins.
At this time, he seemed to realize that Xiang Yu had no ill intentions, so he crawled out from behind the woman's corpse and stood where the light from the gap could reach.
When the sunlight pierced into his eyes, he subconsciously closed his eyes. His skin was sickly pale, and the blue blood vessels beneath the skin could be faintly seen.
Soon, the team leader came over under the leadership of Xie Chunyan. He quickly squatted down and looked into the gap.
After turning his head to look at Xiang Yu, he did not immediately call someone to come and move the things, but typed a line of words on his mobile phone for Xie Chunyan to see.
Then he moved a stone to block the gap, "You two are not needed here, go move the bodies somewhere else."
Xie Chunyan looked puzzled. She frowned and turned to look at Xiang Yu. The team leader had just typed and asked her not to tell anyone what happened here.
When they discovered that there was still someone alive, and it was a child, instead of immediately finding someone to rescue him, they actually moved stones to block the gap.
Xiang Yu had already turned around and left after the team leader finished speaking, and Xie Chunyan followed Xiang Yu, looking back every few steps.
She was not a fool, and her face was filled with worry as she thought about the abnormal condition of the child.
After the two of them moved nearly thirty bodies, they sat on a step to rest. Xie Chunyan turned her head and looked at Xiang Yu.
He wrote a few words on the ground with a piece of wire and pushed Xiang Yu's shoulder, "Did I harm that kid?"
Xiang Yu nodded expressionlessly. In the eyes of the researchers in the shelter, these [normal humans] who were infected with nuclear radiation and still survived.
It is very valuable for research. She can fully imagine what will be waiting for this child if he is taken back.
Xie Chunyan originally thought that Xiang Yu would comfort her.
It was not until the evening when we were about to go back that it was completely dark and everyone sat down to rest.
The team leader has also finished counting the number of people. At this time every day, everyone has half an hour of rest time.
Looking at Xie Chunyan's back as she gradually moved away from the crowd, even looking a little sneaky, Xiang Yu had a puzzled look in his eyes.
He took off his raincoat stained with corpse fluid and walked towards Xie Chunyan. She followed not far behind.
Xie Chunyan, an ordinary person with no anti-detection awareness, would naturally not notice her tracking.
Xie Chunyan came to the gap she had discovered during the day and carefully moved away the stone that was blocking the gap. "Little friend..., little friend, are you still there?"
Xie Chunyan shouted softly towards the gap, turned her head and looked around, then she took out a flashlight from her backpack.
When the flashlight shone on the little boy, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, grab this, you come up first."
A three-meter-long rope was thrown down. Xie Chunyan acted like a thief, keeping an eye on the surroundings, fearing that someone would suddenly come over at this time.
She was wearing a hood, and the little boy at the bottom of the pit couldn't hear her voice at all, but looking at the hanging rope, he still walked over subconsciously.
"Yes, grab the rope quickly and I'll pull you up," Xie Chunyan said anxiously. It was time for the shift change and the night shift would arrive in half an hour.
The little boy also grabbed the rope at this time. It was four meters high. Normally, she would have been able to pull it up, but after carrying the corpse for a whole day, her arms were sore and weak.
When the rope was halfway pulled, Xie Chunyan suddenly ran out of strength, her feet pressed against the gaps on both sides, and her body leaned back.
But the rope in his hand kept slipping down. Seeing that the little boy was about to fall into the pit again, Xiang Yu stepped forward and grabbed the rope with one hand.
