When Lin Xiaoman saw this group of children, he had a guess. Now that he met them, it was confirmed that this was the team of dad Hao Qiong.
"Auntie Wang, we are the boss. Can you come in?"
"Come in quickly." In Wang Cuiqing's eyes, Wang Yi was a good young man with upright values and a willingness to help others, so she was not on guard at all.
"This?" Hao Qiong asked in a puzzled tone.
"Boss, these are my former neighbors, Aunt Wang and her family." Wang Yi introduced them.
"Auntie, excuse me."
"So polite." Wang Cuiqing smiled. She had a good first impression of Hao Qiong. "Young man, have you eaten? Would you like some porridge?"
"No need, Auntie, I've eaten." As he spoke, Hao Qiong walked in, holding a cage in one hand.
The cage was a dense mesh, about half a cubic meter. Inside was a large cockroach. Lin Xiaoman swiped it with her wristband and saw it was indeed a mutant elite cockroach.
This is a wristband.
"Hey, I'm lucky, another bracelet." Wang Yi smiled happily.
"Yeah." Bending down, he pushed the cage to the wall. Hao Qiong, who was originally fully armed, suddenly lost his black special combat uniform and turned into a dark gray wool sweater and black casual pants.
The face of the man in the bulletproof helmet had obviously not been taken care of for some time, and his stubble made him look a little sloppy, but his delicate features could still be vaguely seen.

Lin Xiaoman was stunned. No way, equipment?
"Huh? Could this be equipment?" Wang Cuiqing asked the question that was in Lin Xiaoman's mind.
"Yes, Auntie. I'm lucky, haha." Hao Qiong smiled heartily, and his smile brought a feeling of sunshine.
"Young man, you are so humble. You have been able to lead so many children until now. It is obvious that you are very capable."
"It's just okay. We are lucky." Hao Qiong continued to be modest, and within a few words, several children had gathered around him.
"Old rules, rock-paper-scissors!" Hao Qiong said after touching several little heads one by one.
Several children immediately started playing finger-guessing games.
After the winner was decided, the winning child ran happily to the corner.
In the corner against the wall, there were many wooden sticks arranged with fruit knives tied to the top, which were simple versions of bayonets.
The child picked up a stick with an excited expression and ran back to the cage. Hao Qiong opened a hole on the top of the cage. The child immediately inserted the stick and poked the cockroach trapped in the cage with all his strength. After dozens of pokes, the cockroach was stabbed to death.
After successfully killing the monster, the child stared intently at his left wrist.
"Don't worry, there will be food tomorrow." Hao Qiong smiled and touched his head, then said to Wang Yi, "Xiaoyi, come with me to distribute food."
"good."
After taking Wang Yi out, Hao Qiong took out ten boxes of compressed biscuits at the stairs.
"Boss, we have a big harvest today!" Wang Yi's face was full of surprise.
"I met a master and exchanged props for them. They are all of the same specifications and in bulk. You can put some in yours too." Hao Qiong opened the box and stacked the bags into his backpack.
The food is not exposed, and it is too conspicuous to carry it out in boxes.
"How much should I leave for them?" Wang Yi also quickly stuffed the things into his backpack. Thinking of the hundreds of people downstairs, his originally happy face dimmed again.
With so many people, these ten boxes of compressed biscuits won't last long.
It’s so annoying. If I don’t help, I’ll feel guilty. If I help, there’s a food shortage again.
"No. I found eight edible rats, one of which was as strong as a bull. We have gas here anyway, so we'll use it to keep them company today. We'll try to get to the base in the west district tomorrow and then we'll have done our best to get them there."
"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded with admiration, "Boss, you single-handedly wiped out that nest of rats?"
"It wasn't me, it was the expert I traded with." As he spoke, Hao Qiong glanced sideways towards the gate. "Xiaoyi, was that Aunt Wang's daughter just now? What's the situation with their family?"
"Yes, that's Sister Liu Ying. She has a son and a daughter. Her husband is a soldier and is away from home all year round."
"I didn't ask you that. I was asking about your strength. How many Chosen Ones are there?"
"Well, I didn't ask. I only know that Aunt Wang is the Chosen One. Since Sister Liu Ying dared to stay outside at night, she must also be the Chosen One, and she must be at least level 15. But Boss, from what I heard from Aunt Wang, they will probably stay here to fight monsters."
"Okay, I understand."
…
In the living room, Lin Xiaoman chatted with Aunt Jiang who was taking care of the children. Aunt Jiang, whose name was Jiang Yi, was about the same age as Wang Cuiqing. With the help of Hao Qiong, she was also the chosen one.
As soon as she started talking, it was obvious that she was talking about something sad, and Aunt Jiang began to speak sadly.
Under the disaster, the orphans who were originally from poor families suffered even more.
There were originally more than fifty children in the welfare home, all of whom were abandoned and in poor health. When it snowed, the water and electricity were cut off, and the conditions became harsh, causing the children to fall ill in various ways. Although they tried various methods, many children still died, and those who were younger, under the age of three, almost all did not survive.
By the time the sun came out in January and the weather warmed up, only 19 children were left.
There were originally only 24 people in their group, including five adults. Except for her, a staff member who stayed in the welfare home, the other four were all out of the welfare home.
As they fought monsters along the way, more and more people came to them for help. Even though they only accepted orphans under the age of 10, several more orphans were added one after another, and now there are 27 children.
As for the issue of strength, Aunt Jiang was obviously unwilling to talk about it and avoided the topic. Since she was unwilling to talk about it, Lin Xiaoman didn't want to continue asking.
