The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"Your hands stink..."

Yuanyuan squatted on the ground and spit, then covered her mouth with her two little hands and blew out a breath, making sure there was no bad smell in her mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chi Xia subconsciously raised his hand and put it to the tip of his nose, as if to prove that his hands were clean.

But when he smelled the stench of the rotting corpse, he couldn't help but vomit.

"..."

Several novice female players looked at him with some disdain in their eyes and moved aside a little.

Only the thin man asked him jokingly: "Brother, did you forget to bring toilet paper when you went to the toilet?"

"..."

Chi Xia frowned and ignored him, lowered her eyes to look at the little meat ball standing beside her, and the suspicion that had just been extinguished in her eyes was rekindled.

"Why did you bite me?"

"I'm hungry, big brother, do you have anything to eat?"

Yuanyuan covered her empty belly. She hadn't eaten for a long time and was very hungry.

"Why would you want to bite someone if you're hungry instead of looking for food?"

Bai Qi, who was leaning in the corner, looked at her sharply and felt that there was something wrong with her from the very beginning.

"I don't know, there's nothing to eat here..."

Yuanyuan shook her head, frightened by her cold gaze, and subconsciously hid behind Chi Xia.

"You mean... this little thing is not a human?"

The scarred man cautiously pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots, and upon closer thought, he found her behavior strange.

"According to the records of our predecessors, there are no such monsters in the dungeon. Could it be that you are overthinking it?"

Although Chi Xia had doubts in his heart, he felt a little reluctant when he saw the child's hand carefully pulling his trouser leg.

Although she bit herself, there were no wounds.

If it was a ghost in the dungeon, then what was the point of biting him and then letting go?

"What are mobs?"

Yuanyuan felt a chill down her spine when she saw the players' gazes. She could sense that some of them were not looking at her in a friendly manner.

"She doesn't understand anything, she doesn't look like a monster."

One of the players looked at her for a long time but couldn't find anything strange about her.

"No matter if it is or not, get rid of it first. Keeping it will only hinder us."

The scarred man approached her with a dagger in his hand. She could lose her life at any time in the dungeon, so she couldn't leave a time bomb here.

"What are you doing? Don't do anything until you're sure."

Chi Xia frowned and looked at him. It was already difficult to survive in the copy, so how could he take his companion's life just because of a little suspicion?

"Don't stop me!"

The scarred man shouted at him, reached out to push him away, and the dagger in his hand fell straight at the child.

A cold wind blew, and Bai Qi, who had been in the corner just now, appeared in front of him and kicked the dagger out of the man's hand.

"I just think her behavior is a little weird. Don't kill innocent people before you are sure."

Her idea was the same as Chi Xia's. She would not take action unless there was sufficient evidence to prove that the other party was a monster.

"What if she is? Are you trying to get everyone killed?"

The scarred man cursed at them angrily, but looking at the agile Bai Qi, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Look how scared she is. If she were a monster, she would definitely hide."

The middle-aged man leaning on the stair railing also witnessed the scene just now. If it was a monster, it would not wait for the player to kill it.

Yuanyuan's two little hands were still grabbing Chi Xia's pants. Her eyes were wide open in fear, her lips turned pale with fright, and she had forgotten how to hide.

Others also thought that what he said made sense, so they didn't pay any more attention to it.

"you……"

The scarred man wanted to curse a few more times but was pulled aside.

The thin man whispered something in his ear. He looked at Bai Qi with a playful look and then fell silent.

"Didn't you eat before you came in?"

Bai Qi opened the cross-body bag on his shoulder and took out a piece of nut bread for her.

"Eat it!"

Yuanyuan held the bread in her arms for a moment, then bit open the packaging bag with her sharp teeth, grabbed a piece with her little hands and fed it into her mouth. It was sweet mixed with raisins and crushed cranberries.

"Thank you sister..."

The little guy squatted behind Chi Xia holding the bread and started eating it. He stopped eating halfway and held the packaging bag tightly in his little hands.

"I am full?"

Chi Xia squatted beside her and watched her eat out of boredom. It had been less than an hour since the news came in, and it was not yet time for the dungeon monsters to become active.

"No…"

Yuanyuan was still a little hungry, but much better than before, and she didn’t really want to eat anyone now.

"Then why don't you eat it?"

"Take the rest back for Dad to eat. My dad hasn't eaten yet."

"..."

Hearing her say this, Chi Xia fell silent. It was even a question whether she could leave this game alive.

The others looked at her with more or less pity in their eyes.

"I'm going home now. I'll come play with you guys later."

Yuanyuan patted the bread crumbs from the corner of her mouth, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going? Come back here. You can't see your father now."

Chi Xia grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He couldn't just watch her go out and die.

"I can see you. I can go home after I get out."

Yuanyuan struggled twice, looking at him in confusion with her clear blue eyes.

Why don’t you let the children go home?

"Be good! Stop messing around!"

Chi Xia rubbed her head and pulled her hand with a little force. Although she was small, she was very strong and he couldn't hold her down without holding her down hard.

"I'm not messing around. Dad is waiting for me to come home."

Yuanyuan leaned her small body backwards and tried to drag him outside.

"Be obedient and don't go out now. It's dangerous outside. You can see your daddy when everything is over."

Seeing the two people quarreling, Bai Qi walked forward with a cold face, touched the child's head, and tried to use a gentle tone to comfort her.

"Really? There was no danger when I came."

Yuanyuan looked at her with half belief and half doubt. Except for the lack of food, everything else was fine here and she didn't feel any danger.

"Really, I won't lie to you."

"All right…"

Seeing her serious look, Yuanyuan squatted back down with the bread in her arms.

The White Tower was completely quiet, with the only chandelier on the first floor flickering and making crackling sounds.

The waves outside seemed to be even more violent, and the sound of the waves rolling was right next to my ears.

Bang bang bang——

There was a knock on the broken wooden door of the White Tower, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on the entrance.

"Open the door, it's cold outside, let me in."

The bolt of the wooden door was locked from the inside, and only a dark shadow outside could be seen through the gap in the template.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come in yet?"

A girl stood up and walked towards the door cautiously. The voice of the person outside was old and hoarse, sounding like an old woman.

"Don't go over there, there's a monster outside the door." The man leaning on the stair railing warned.

"..."

The girl stepped back instantly upon hearing this, not daring to take another step forward.
