The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"Dad, are you full?"

Yuanyuan touched his belly with her little hand and felt that it was no different from before, still flat and her ribs could be seen on her chest.

"full!"

Vitalia moved her body with great effort, revealing the corpse with only half of its body left, and lifted her up and placed her aside.

"Eat quickly, this is the food I prepared for you!"

A light ignited in his eyes. It had been a long time since he had captured food so smoothly. He hoped that the child would like it.

"..."

Yuanyuan looked at the half-body that was left, her face turned pale and green, and she covered her mouth and almost vomited.

The strange fragrance emanating from the corpse tempted her, but she couldn't rush over no matter what. She was frightened by such a tragic death.

"Dad, I don't want to eat it. This looks scary."

Looking at the pieces of clothing remaining on the corpse, Yuanyuan could even vaguely piece together who she was in her mind.

"But there is no other food here, we can only eat the invaders."

The food of mermaids is not humans, but fish, shrimp and algae on the seabed. It is the invasion of humans that destroyed the mermaids' homes and killed the entire mermaid clan.

Seeing that she was unwilling to eat, Vitalia frowned slightly, and blamed herself in her heart for eating the invader first.

If she were whole she would look prettier, and maybe the kid would be willing to eat her.

"Dad, I'm not hungry now. I just had some cookies and candy across the street."

Yuanyuan was not very hungry now, so she carried the corpse on her back and sat on the reef.

Her mentality has not completely changed, and she cannot feel at ease eating other people.

"Child, don't trust humans easily. Humans are unreliable. Don't believe anything they say."

Vitalia taught her earnestly that humans would conduct cruel experiments on them and squeeze out all their usable value.

"Dad, I know."

Yuanyuan slapped the sea water with her little feet twice. There was a very vicious and bad uncle in the White Pagoda who always held a knife to kill her.

She would never believe such a bad person.

The sea calmed down and light snow started to fall from the sky again. The snow gradually got heavier and the vast expanse of white was enough to blur people's vision.

Yuanyuan moved closer to his father's arms. His tall body could block some of the wind and snow.

"You...really don't want to eat a little?"

Vitalia hadn't eaten for a long time, and the few bites he had taken earlier were not enough to fill his stomach, and he was still very hungry.

"Dad, I don't want to eat this."

Yuanyuan shook her head, nestled in his arms and closed her eyes.

"..."

Vitalia held her in her arms, hummed a ballad softly, and gently patted her back to lull her to sleep.

The singing drifted in the wind, and the players sitting around the fire covered their ears vigilantly.

"How long has it been? Why is the mermaid singing again?"

Chi Xia felt that all the work he had done before coming in had gone to waste. A small BOSS suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the rules for the mermaid to activate her skills were also broken and became chaotic.

"It's because some people are too chaste..."

The player to his left complained and looked at Bai Qi meaningfully.

Fortunately, the mermaid's song did not last long, so I was prepared and was not bewitched as quickly as the first time.

Vitalia looked at the soundly sleeping child, and placed her big, broad palm gently on her belly.

There was no flat place for the child to rest, so he could only let it lie on his relatively soft tail.

He picked up the half-eaten food on the ground, put it to his mouth and ate it quietly, afraid to disturb the sleeping child.

Vitalia keenly realized that the child might not want to see herself eating people.

He ate only half full, which was a rare occasion. He washed the bloodstains on the reef with sea water and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The heavy snow covered his body in an instant, leaving only the area where the child was lying covered. From a distance, it looked like a sculpture standing in the center of the sea.

It was getting colder in the White Tower, and the wooden planks were limited so they had to be used sparingly.

Everyone gathered closer together with a pile of charcoal burning in the middle, and there was another knock on the door.

The few foods they brought with them before entering the dungeon have been distributed, and hunger and cold have made the situation even more difficult.

There is no distinct day and night here. According to the time on the pocket watch, almost two days have passed.

"I'm so hungry! Is there anything else to eat?"

The thin man held his stomach and couldn't help making gurgling sounds.

"Didn't they say that tentacle is edible?"

A player looked at Chi Xia and Li Cheng, thinking that they would have to complete the difficult task of killing the tentacles.

No one here is willing to take risks, so naturally everyone wants to place their hopes on people with greater abilities.

Chi Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, scratched his hair with one hand, and stared at his shoes in a daze.

"Let's go to the first floor?"

Bai Qi's eyes fell on him. These people were all pointing at them. Although he was not very happy about it, if no one went, they would all go hungry.

"Um…"

Chi Xia responded uninterestedly, dusted off his clothes and followed her downstairs.

The sea water had flooded in earlier, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.

"Be careful Scar, don't use your skills recklessly."

Chi Xia walked beside her and reminded her in a low voice that in a place without law constraints, people's greed and sin would be infinitely magnified.

"Um…"

Bai Qi nodded in response. The situation was urgent and if he didn't use any special skills, he might not be able to save the little monster in time.

"The strength of the small boss should be above Vitalia. It will be difficult to successfully kill the big one without killing her. What are your plans?"

Chi Xia leaned against the wooden door, listening to the knocking outside, and kicked the wall in annoyance.

After going through so many copies, although he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he is not someone who will be merciful to monsters.

"I don't know, are you going to kill Yuanyuan?"

Bai Qi lowered her eyes with a serious expression; she was also thinking about this problem.

That child is obviously a monster, but I always feel that she is a living person.

"I…I don't know, fucking stupid."

As a good boy of the new era, Chi Xia couldn't help but swear.

It looks like the weather will get colder and colder. It's doubtful whether they can survive seven days without killing Vitalia.

The child was not the standard villain in other copies, she was more like a human child.

If I kill her, I will feel deeply guilty.

"Don't think about it for now, just solve the current difficulties first."

Bai Qi looked at the wooden door and didn't want to waste too much energy on this issue for the time being. He could only take one step at a time and make a choice only when he could ensure his own safety.

The two of them huddled together to discuss how to cooperate, and footsteps were heard on the stairs behind them.

"I'm here to help."

Li Cheng walked towards the two people's wary gazes and showed a gentle and kind smile.
