A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

"Can you do it now?"

"I feel a little better, but I still don't have the strength to run."

"OK then."

As Su Mu gradually became more and more unable to hold An Yan, Quelka, seeing this, mocked, "Can't do it anymore! Just surrender already."

"What are you doing over there? Have you caught the target yet?" Just then, a deep voice reached the ears of the Quilka 540.

Quelka was shocked and immediately stopped and stood up straight, saying, "Well, the target is right in front of us now, and we'll be able to catch him soon."

"Still haven't caught it? You're really useless. Now I'm giving you another task. You can abandon this one for now."

Quelka looked at Su Mu running away in the distance, carrying An Yan, and said, "But..."

"No buts, listen to my orders." Hearing the anger in the voice on the communicator, the Quilka immediately said, "Please give your orders, Chieftain."

“Our partner is here. Take your men and go pick him up right away. After that, go and capture the target. Don’t worry, I will send people to support you.”

Chapter 221 Crying in a Hurry

Quelka glanced at Su Mu and his companion, who were still running, and said, "You're lucky to be alive. Let's go and do another mission."

"Aren't we going to chase them?" Deadeye asked.

"We'll stop chasing them for now. We've received orders from above to do other tasks first."

After saying that, he led his two men to a sewer entrance and crawled inside.

After watching the Skal ratmen disappear into a sewer in the distance, An Yan said, "There's no need to run anymore, they've all gone into the sewers."

"Hmm?" After hearing An Yan's words, Su Mu turned around to look around. After confirming that no one was there, he put An Yan down from his arms and said breathlessly, "I'm so tired."

Then, glancing at An Yan, he subconsciously said, "An Yan, you're so heavy."

Upon hearing this, An Yan was instantly enraged. She glared fiercely at Su Mu and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait until I recover, and then I'll see how I deal with you."

Su Mu looked around and spotted an abandoned villa.

Are you sure there won't be any Skaven there?

"That's better than being on the street. There's no cover here. If the Skaven are in the buildings on both sides of the street right now, wouldn't we all become their targets?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah!" Suddenly, Su Mu shouted and asked, "Why did you bite me?"

"Serves you right, who told you to say something harsh just now."

The two walked into the villa complex amidst their bickering.

"Hmm?" An Yan sensed something was wrong and said, "Don't move, I can sense someone nearby."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu realized something was terribly wrong and asked, "Where? Where?"

"They're in the villa right next to us, but I only sense fear, not malice. Be careful not to let them discover that we've already found them."

"Ok."

Su Mu quietly and discreetly entered the villa.

After Su Mu entered the house, he first put An Yan on the sofa, then took out the small knife tied to his other leg and watched the stairwell warily.

An Yan whispered, "Be careful."

"Ah."

Su Mu nodded and said, "I know."

He then carefully walked upstairs, looking at the several rooms on the second floor. Su Mu gently approached a door, pressed his face against it, and listened to everything inside.

"Clang." A heavy thud was heard from inside, followed by, "Keep your voice down, or the people downstairs will hear us, or we'll all be killed."

Su Mu gradually approached the room from which the sound came, then held the small knife in his hand to his chest, kicked open the door, rushed in with the knife in hand, and shouted, "Don't move!"

Seeing the three people crying in front of him, Su Mu put down the knife in his hand, put it back in his leg, and slowly walked over.

Sensing someone approaching, the child in the lead cried out without even looking, "Waaah...don't come any closer!"

Su Mu looked at the three people who were crying and making a fuss, cleared his throat and said, "Hey, stop crying, the monster is gone."

Chapter 222 Killed by a Monster

After recognizing the human voice, the three wiped away their tears, stood up, and the child in the lead looked at the person in front of them and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"

After looking at them, Su Mu knelt down in front of them and tried to wipe away the tears from their eyes, but they instinctively resisted and took a step back.

Su Mu awkwardly raised his hand, then coughed twice, looked at them, and said, "I am an official from Shuris City. May I ask who you are and where your families are?"

Upon hearing Su Mu mention his family, tears welled up in the eyes of the two younger children, 543, as if they were about to cry again. Su Mu felt a headache coming on.

They quickly comforted them, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry." The older children also comforted the two younger children, saying, "Ken, Nana, don't cry, don't cry."

Then, looking at Su Mu, she said, "Hello, sir. My name is Yuli. These are my younger brother and sister, Ken and Nana. Our family... our family has been... has been killed by monsters." After she finished speaking, tears welled up in Yuli's eyes.

After hearing Su Mu's words, You Li wiped away her tears, looked at her younger siblings, and comforted them, "Alright, you two don't need to cry anymore, your sister is here."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there a problem?" At this moment, An Yan came up from downstairs, saw a room open, and Su Mu squatted there as he came in and asked.

When another stranger entered, Kenna and her companion were frightened again and huddled in Yuri's arms.

Su Mu glanced at An Yan with annoyance and said indifferently, "I finally managed to calm them down, and you scared them again as soon as you arrived."

An Yan saw the three children at the very back and heard Su Mu's mockery. She said irritably, "How can you blame me for this?" Then she asked the three children, "What are your names?"

Yuri glanced at the blonde older sister who had just entered, then at Su Mu in front of her, and knowing they were together, she replied, "My name is Yuri, and these are my younger brother and sister, Kenana."

An Yan casually tapped Su Mu on the shoulder and asked, "Did you only see them? Didn't you see anyone else?"

"Sigh." Su Mu sighed and said, "I only found three of them. According to them, their parents should have been killed by the Skaven."

Upon hearing Su Mu mention her parents again, tears welled up in Kenana's eyes. Seeing this, Su Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "Here we go again."

He then went over and placed his hands on their heads, comforting them, "Okay, don't cry, be good."

"Ah."

The two wiped their eyes and murmured an "Mmm".

Su Mu stood up, pulled An Yan out, and then said, "It seems they witnessed their parents being killed by the Skaven."

Go and comfort them right away. I'll go check the neighborhood for any other survivors, and if there are, bring them all here.

"Ah."

After Su Mu finished speaking, he took out his knife again, held it in front of his chest, and went downstairs cautiously.

Chapter 223 is rather dangerous.

"Sigh." An Yan sighed, changed her expression, and went back inside. After looking at the three of them, she half-squatted down and smiled at them, saying, "Alright, you three little friends, don't be afraid with your big sister here."

Yuli looked at An Yan and asked timidly, "Is Sister a friend of the adults?"

"Ah."

An Yan stepped forward and patted You Li's head before saying, "That's right, I'm a friend of the adults. Don't worry, I'll protect you now."

"Ah."

Meanwhile, Su Mu entered another villa with a knife. After seeing two corpses covered in bite marks on the living room floor, he quietly went upstairs. After carefully checking the last room, Su Mu found two sleeping children in a cabinet.

After checking that there were no enemies around, Su Mu went over and shook the two children awake, saying, "Wake up, wake up."

The two children opened their sleepy eyes and screamed immediately before they could even see who had woken them.

"what."

Su Mu covered his ears and said to them, "Alright, calm down, the monster has been driven away by us."

"Ah."

Then, looking at them, he asked, "What are your names? Why are you here?" One of the children asked, "My name is Long, and his name is Henry. May I ask who you are, big brother?" Su Mu looked at them and said, "I am Su Mu, an adult from Shuris City."

"Are you the master?" Long exclaimed in surprise.

After looking at them, Su Mu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place, it's too dangerous here."

After glancing at Su Mu and then looking around, the two of them both came out of the wardrobe.

After Su Mu pulled them both out, he squatted down and looked at them, asking, "Do you know if there are any other survivors nearby?"

The two shook their heads at the same time and said, "We don't know. We don't even know when we fainted in the closet. You were the one who woke us up."

After looking at them, Su Mu stood up and said, "Alright then, it's dangerous here, let's go."

"Ok."

As Su Mu led the two children, Long and Henry, past the two corpses covered in bite marks downstairs, he asked, "Do you know these two people?" The two grabbed Su Mu's legs, glanced at the bodies with fear in their eyes, and quickly shook their heads, saying, "No... we don't know them."

"Sigh." Su Mu sighed, covered their eyes and said, "Come with me, be careful."

"Ah."

The two nodded and followed Su Mu out of the villa.

.....

When Su Mu arrived at the villa they had entered, he heard An Yan's laughter coming from upstairs as he was going up the stairs.

"What are you talking about? You seem so happy."

After Su Mu led Long and Henry into the room, he asked.

"nothing."

An Yan replied with a smile.

"Long, Henry!" Kenana exclaimed in surprise when she saw the child Su Mu had brought.

"Nana!" Ron and Henry exclaimed in surprise when they saw Ken Nana.

The four children then hugged each other and said, "You're all okay."

An Yan stepped forward and looked at Su Mu, saying, "You only found these two children this time?"

"Ah."

Su Mu nodded, then pulled An Yan out of the room and casually closed the door.

Chapter 224 A Yearning Gaze

Before An Yan could ask what was wrong, Su Mu flicked her forehead and whispered, "Are you crazy? You were laughing so loudly just now. What would you do if the Skaven or the Abyss forces were nearby?"

An Yan rubbed the spot where Su Mu had hit her, pouted, and whispered, "I was wrong."

Su Mu glared at her, annoyed, and said calmly, "Alright, stop acting cute. I didn't hit you hard with the '5-4-3' punch."

After glancing around the room, he asked, "What do we do now? There's no way the two of us can take these five children back to our base, and there aren't any defense force patrols here."

If the Abyss forces or Skaven appear here, the two of us alone won't be able to hold them off.

"Sigh." He then sighed again and said, "I wonder if Yu Qiren has gone back and found our troops. If they have, then things will be much easier."

As for Yuri, Kenana, and the other two…

"Let's adopt them."

An Yan suddenly interjected with a sentence.

"Huh?" Su Mu looked at An Yan with some confusion and asked, "What? You want to adopt the three of them?"

"Ah."

An Yan nodded and said, "Yes, their parents were killed by the Skaven, and they are still so young. No one is taking care of them, so we will take care of them. What do you think?"

Su Mu rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Why do you have this kind of logic? Look at this: if you find some more orphans later, will you continue to adopt them? I'm sure that in the end, Long and Henry's parents will also be lost. Will you still adopt them?"

An Yan pondered for a moment, then said definitively, "Yes, but not if it's discovered later."

“I said…” Before Su Mu could finish speaking, he saw An Yan looking at him unfriendly and saying, “What’s wrong? You and Yu Qiren could adopt Ash and Franka before, so why can’t you and I adopt a few children?”

"Wow!" Su Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Putting Franka aside for now, how do you know about Ash? You weren't even there when Ash was adopted, so how did you know the name Ash?"

"Please, I am, after all, the daughter of a Grand Duke, and I've been with you for quite some time. Just ask around among the people who have been with you the longest, and you'll know everything."

An Yan said irritably.

Su Mu rubbed his forehead and said hopelessly, "Fine, fine, I'll adopt him as you say."
