Mr. Si and his companions, who were fishing by the lake, had no idea what was happening on the third floor of the large villa behind them. They ate snacks and chatted quietly, "Your grandson looked quiet, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to get along with."
Mr. Si was instantly delighted when his grandson was praised. "My grandson is very filial. Knowing that I like fishing, he built a villa next to the lake and planted a large sea of roses."
"Well, he's a filial child."
Another old man, who was eating snacks and holding a fishing rod, agreed.
"Your grandson's husband looks a little scary, but when he was talking to your grandson just now, his voice was very soft and he seemed like a very gentle person."
"Of course, that child has a very good temper."
Mr. Si is extremely satisfied with Pei Yan.
Those in power are not arrogant, nor do they look down on others for no reason.
He is also very patient with this old man.
Every day when he wakes up, he can eat breakfast cooked by Pei Yan.
When he was having breakfast in the morning, he almost always watched Pei Yan holding his grandson, sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony in the front yard on the first floor, looking at the sea of roses blowing in the breeze.
He now feels that not only he is taking care of his retirement, but Pei Yan and his grandson are also taking care of their retirement.
Suddenly there was a crisp click.
In the quiet woods more than a hundred meters away from the lake, the sound of branches being stepped on was heard.
Mr. Si and his friends, who were sitting there eating snacks and fishing, looked curiously at the woods with street lights on, near the sea of flowers.
"Is anyone there?"
An old man has already touched the weapon on his waist.
Although there are no zombies now, there are still survivors from other small bases living in H City, so it doesn't hurt to be careful.
"He shouldn't be a bad guy."
Mr. Si looked up at the small spherical robot and replied.
Because the small spherical robot floating beside him has already scanned that side. If there are survivors carrying weapons or trying to attack them, the small spherical robot has already flown over to deal with them.
Besides, there are more than ten flying mutant zombies patrolling above them. The survivors from other bases would not be so stupid as to dare to attack them.
"Master Si, there are flying mutant zombies here. Which survivor would dare to come here and cause trouble?"
Said an old man who reacted the fastest.
"Too."
The old man who was touching the weapon on his waist let go.
"Xiaoyuan, who is that person over there?"
Mr. Si asked the little spherical robot.
After completing the scan, the small spherical robot replied in an accented electronic voice, "Human cubs, eight."
"Ahem, those are eight human children."
Mr. Si corrected himself with his hand to his mouth.
The little spherical robot blinked its big eyes innocently.
This is what it teaches in the program!
Mr. Si didn't bother with the little ball robot and explained to the other obviously confused old men, "It must be a child who came here to pick flowers. He's been hanging around outside the fence for the past two weeks."
"A child picking flowers?"
"Could it be those kids selling roses at the entrance of our base?"
Mr. Si was a little surprised, "They went to sell flowers at the gate of our base?"
"Yes, it was also half a month ago. There were some eleven or twelve-year-old kids selling roses at the entrance of our base. My granddaughter bought some roses from them. They are still at home and haven't withered yet. They are still bright red."
"I originally thought the flowers they sold were roses that they had grown using their supernatural powers, which is why they could last so long without withering. I didn't expect they were flowers from your place."
Mr. Si said, "We didn't know anything about this. We only knew that they were picking flowers to sell, but we didn't expect them to go to our base."
"Didn't your grandson tell them? These roses won't look good if they're picked! And they've been picking them for half a month, so they must have picked a lot of them, right?"
"No, these roses can grow back on their own. My grandson didn't care about them."
"Usually, after they pick flowers, they'll also place some crystal cores on the other side of the fence."
"You even know how to put crystal cores in there! That means they're desperate and have no choice but to pick your flowers and sell them."
"My son saw them while patrolling the base wall. He wanted to let them live inside the base, but the kids ran away when they saw my son and couldn't be caught."
"Maybe they've encountered something terrible before, and they don't dare to trust others, especially adults."
"It could be, my son said. They all have old injuries and may have been abused."
…
Mr. Si listened quietly and looked towards the woods in the distance.
He thought those children were afraid of people and were simply shy, but he didn't expect that they had a bad experience.
He looked up and instructed the little spherical robot, "Give them something to eat."
The little ball robot nodded and flew towards the woods.
The eight children next to the rose fence woods covered their mouths tightly and dared not move.
After a long while, they didn't hear anyone coming to check on the lake, so they breathed a sigh of relief and took their hands away from their mouths.
The boy who stepped on the branch was hit and someone said to him in a low voice, "I told you to be careful where you step, but you never listen."
"sorry."
The boy's eyes were red and he felt very guilty.
For the past half month, they have been living in this area cautiously and secretly. If they are driven away, they don’t know where to live.
Because apart from here, they don't know where else is safe.
"Be careful, got it?"
"Um……"
The boy wiped his tears.
"Okay, spread the mat quickly and go to sleep after eating." said the older boy.
