Chapter 375: Hiding Survivors
Xiang Yu took out a pen and paper and wrote down, "Can you smell the fragrance of that white flower?"
The little boy shook his head. "I can't smell it."
He can still remember that when Mother Xie and he first encountered this white flower, Mother Xie seemed like she went crazy.
He kept shouting "Kill the pig, kill the pig" and hacking around with the machete in his hand. He didn't dare to get close at that time.
Until the end, Xie's mother kept shouting "eat the pig-killing meal" and started eating the mud on the ground. Only then did he panic. After a lot of effort, he finally pulled his mother away from that area.
"Were you infected by the bacteria that broke out before?"
The little boy shook his head again.
After recording for a while, Xiang Yu took out a new oxygen cylinder from his backpack and handed it to the little boy.
"Can you breathe with a normal oxygen tank?"
The little boy nodded. "I can breathe with an oxygen tank, but I can also breathe without one."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and observed Xie Chunyan's reaction.
Because Xie Chunyan had told him before that he could not tell anyone any information about him, not even to his old friends.
Xiang Yu looked at the secrets written in densely packed small characters on the notebook and couldn't help but sigh, "It's against the will of heaven..."
No wonder the people in City A and City B have never given up looking for him even after several years.
"These are the rewards for providing me with the information. Take them."
Xiang Yu handed the remaining half bag of food to Xie Chunyan, "Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows this information, I won't tell anyone else."
Seeing that Xie Chunyan still seemed a little worried, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so vigilant. I am actually wanted by the people in City A. Now I am just a wandering survivor like you."
Hearing that he was also a homeless survivor, Xie Chunyan felt a sense of empathy.
In the past few years that she has been taking care of the little boy, she has only met Xiang Yu, someone she is only half familiar with.
"In the past few years, have you met anyone in the same situation as you?" Xiang Yu thought about the situation in F City at that time.
It seems that there are quite a few people with genetic mutations. Before they arrived, some survivors whose bodies had changed had already left City F.
"Yes, we did encounter them, and there were quite a lot of them," this time it was Xie Chunyan who answered Xiang Yu.
Her face was unusually solemn. "When Xie Li and I went to City M before, I didn't know what it was called, but it seemed to be a small village. The people living in that small village were all like Xie Li."
After the little boy followed her, she gave him a name, Xie Li, after her last name.
When Xiang Yu heard what Xie Chunyan said, his brows instantly frowned.
If an entire village is filled with people like Xie Li, how many people would that be? After the outbreak of the fungus, people from City M, City N, and City L seemed to have all relocated.
There shouldn't be many survivors in the cities today.
"Xie Li and I also accidentally broke into that village. Those people were very happy about Xie Li's arrival. They wanted Xie Li to stay in the village, but I took Xie Li and ran away secretly."
Xiang Yu listened quietly. Everyone in the village was in the same situation as Xie Li. Logically, they should help each other. What kind of situation would cause Xie Chunyan to leave with the little boy?
This secret seemed to have been weighing on Xie Chunyan's mind for a long time. She looked into Xiang Yu's eyes and told him a piece of news that shocked him.
"Those people imprisoned many women in the village and forced them to have children with people whose genes had changed. The children born were born to be just like Xie Li."
When she arrived at the village, more than twenty children had already been born in the village.
After she escaped with Xie Li, she anonymously reported the situation in the village to the nearby official shelter.
But the people over there did not deal with the matter immediately. Instead, they followed the clues and found the location of her and Xie Li. At that time, City A and City B were already offering a high reward for Xie Li, so how could they let her go?
Later, she took Xie Li and fled again, then crossed mountains and rivers to come here. During the journey, they met two groups of people in the same situation as Xie Li.
But she is no longer as nosy as before. If she reports it again, she will probably be the first target.
Xie Chunyan said this with a painful look on her face. She was a kind-hearted person and naturally understood that those people must have a conspiracy, but her power was too weak. Apart from protecting Xie Li, she could do nothing else.
As the natural disasters continue to change, her and Xie Li's identities have changed. Many times she has to rely on Xie Li's help to overcome difficulties.
Xiang Yu was also extremely shocked. According to Xie Chunyan's description, those people were hiding secretly and developing slowly, and they probably had bigger intentions.
