The family who came to the H Province base again also found that the base had indeed changed a lot, and the surrounding city walls were divided into two.
The first city wall was the same one they had come from before, and its height and thickness had not changed. However, within ten meters, there was another tall and sturdy new wall. There were people guarding the two walls at regular intervals, probably to defend against zombies.
After handing over the home court to Liang Wei and Wei Junhao, the family refused Guan Shouzhong's farewell and decided to walk back to their residence on their own. After all, everyone was already quite familiar with the place where they had lived for a month.
Along the way, the group also discovered that in addition to the changes in the base walls, many of the quaint tourist courtyards in the past had been transformed into dormitory buildings, including the central lake that had long dried up, which had been filled in to become housing.
"They've reduced the size of the base considerably, but the effective utilization rate has increased."
Su Xiangzhe nodded continuously.
"There are relatively few survivors in the base. Narrowing the area and centralizing management will indeed make it safer."
Lu Hao felt that the choice made by the guards was not wrong. Two city walls were rare, but given the current situation in Province H, where there were many dead cities, more effort was needed in defense.
“Ahhhh~”
Lu Wang in the stroller twisted his body anxiously, frowning as if he was about to cry.
"Wang'er is hungry."
Su Jin had long been able to tell the condition of her children by the way they cried; it was the sound of hunger.
"Look, we'll be there soon."
Lu Guanhai quickly leaned over and coaxed him.
"Ahhh~"
Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him, Lu Wang put his tender little white hand into his mouth and sucked it, and he stopped crying.
"Pfft, he comforts himself"
Lin Xiuyuan was amused. Can hands be used as food?
The baby's voice attracted the attention of many passers-by. It was really rare to see such a young child in this day and age.
"Excuse me...is the child in there really yours?"
A short-haired woman with a bag on her back and a somewhat unkempt appearance came over and asked.
"This little girl, the one next to us is of course our child. Is it possible that in this day and age, there are still people holding other people's children?"
Lu Guanhai muttered that these were his precious grandchildren.
"some"
The woman remained expressionless as she took off the backpack and opened it, revealing a baby inside that was about the same age as Lu Xi and Lu Wang, but much thinner. She continued,
“This is not my child”
“…”
Feeling that Lu Guanhai was slapped in the face, Nie Qing covered his stomach and laughed, although he was more curious about the sleeping child in the backpack.
The woman's name was Tong Nian. She only said that the child in the backpack was picked up by her outside the base two days ago.
"Picked it up?"
Su Jin felt a little strange, but Tong Nian looked frank and didn't seem to be lying. Besides, in the end times, having a child was really not a good thing.
"Well, he cries when I go out to kill zombies, but he stops crying when I come back to the base. I don't know why."
Tong Nian said distressedly.
"The baby is a superpower!"
Mao Qiqi said as the family was around.
"So you're asking us to do this?"
"Could it be that you want to buy some milk powder or something?" Huang Yunxiang asked curiously.
"You misunderstood. I want to give this child to someone who can raise him. I am a person with special abilities, so I can't take him out every day. Besides, he doesn't seem to want to go out."
Tong Nian's words made the family look at each other in confusion. So she wanted to give the child to them?
Is there anyone who can take the children out for a walk?
"We are a bounty hunting team and are currently out on a mission. We are not suitable to take in children. I suggest you look for another one."
Lu Hao objected. How could they take in a child who started crying as soon as he got outside? If it was at the S City base, it could be considered, but now was not the time to be kind.
"I see"
Tong Nian zipped up his backpack and walked forward without looking back.
Su Jin felt a little reluctant, probably because she became a mother. Seeing a child would remind her of her own child. So she took out a can of baby formula from a bag and gave it to Tong Nian.
"He is a superpower. We are just passing by, but this is a token of our appreciation."
Su Jin said.
"Thank you"
Tong Nian was a little surprised, but still took the milk powder, thanked Su Jin and left.
This incident itself was just an episode, but before everyone went to bed that night, the family heard a baby crying.
"That's not right, Wang'er and Xi'er are both asleep."
Lin Cheng looked around in confusion. Where did the crying sound come from?
"Outside"
Mao Qiqi pointed in the direction of the gate.
When Su Jin, Lu Hao and others walked out and saw the scene outside the gate, they were speechless.
Familiar backpack, familiar milk powder, familiar child...
That woman actually left the child at the gate?
To be honest, it should be abandoned.
"What's wrong? Is the child hungry?"
The three guards also ran out in panic. The Xinyu team still lived with them in the courtyard that was connected to them before. When they heard the noise outside, the three thought it was Lu Xi and Lu Wang crying.
The three of them had no idea what had happened to the family during the day. When they saw a child appear at the door for no apparent reason, they were all stunned.
"I think... my can of milk powder was delivered to the wrong place..."
Su Jin used the flashlight to clearly see the crooked handwriting on the note:
