Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

Bang! Tap!

Fan Mu dragged the man's body to a hidden corner, then simply surrounded it with soil, stones, and wooden boards, and watched from a distance to make sure there was nothing unusual here.

After doing all this, he ran back quickly. Things here were not peaceful now.

"What about people?"

When I ran to the stairs, the child had disappeared.

"?"

Fan Mu began to search around. It only took him about half an hour to search, and the kid was injured and he shouldn't be able to run far.

"Tsk! That little brat is just a little brat, he's not a worry at all!"

Since that little brat could survive here until now, it means he has some skills. He should know that there are monsters under the stairs, so he probably went up the stairs.

Fan Mu trotted towards the stairs, being very cautious all the way and making almost no sound. He didn't know if there were any strange creatures upstairs and was afraid that too much noise would attract the other party's attention.

When I reached the top of the stairs, I didn't see any living creatures, only a relatively large house with three floors and children's facilities such as slides around it.

"Inside?"

Fan Mu looked into the house from the window and saw a few tables and chairs. They were a bit messy and it seemed that people had left in a hurry.

“Is it a kindergarten-like building?”

He noticed that the tables and chairs inside were very small, and there was an old blackboard hanging on the wall that looked quite old.

“This is a great place to rest!”

Fan Mu carefully climbed in through the window and began to explore cautiously. If the child was here, that would be great. If not, and he had confirmed that the house was safe, he could rest here temporarily.

Soon, he explored the first floor and found nothing unusual. He also paid special attention and found that there was no food or water. Many things in the house were broken, and he had never seen anything new.

"Has it been abandoned for a long time? It doesn't look like..." He reached out and touched the door frame of the table next to him. There was only a very thin layer of dust.

After exploring the first floor, he carefully moved towards the second floor.

As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, a harsh sound of "creaking" was heard. The sound was not loud, but it was unusually clear in this quiet room.

The stairs are made of wood and have some problems bearing weight.

After this, Fan Mu became more careful in his actions.

The second floor was very dark, and the only light came from outside the window.

The second floor was much smaller than the first floor, and the doors of each household were close together. He tried to open a door, but found that it was locked, and the same was true for all the doors afterwards.

"child..."

"Who?"

Fan Mu looked around, he seemed to have heard a voice just now.

"Did you hear that wrongly?"

He frowned. The floor on the second floor was not solid and he made noises as he walked. It was normal for him to mishear given his tense expression.

"This way, kid."

A tiny voice sounded again.

This time Fan Mu was sure that he had not heard wrong, because he did not move from beginning to end, and he was vigilantly looking for the person who made the sound.

"You little kid, come with me quickly."

While he was still looking around, an old woman slowly walked out of the darkness, her face full of reproach, but it was easy to hear the concern in her words.

Fan Mu hesitated whether to go with her. After what happened just now, he was now wary of the people in this world.

The old man looked to be in his 50s or 60s, with a small build and a hunched back. He shouldn't be a threat to him, and he just needed to know some information here.

"Where did you come from, little kid?"

The old woman in front asked a question.

"I came from outside."

Following behind, Fan Mu took a long time to utter a word, cowering timidly, acting like a child.

He doesn't even know where this place is or what it's called, so how can you ask him to answer this?

The old woman climbed the stairs to the third floor, which, if he guessed correctly, was the attic.

"From outside? What are you doing here, little kid? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

The old woman was obviously puzzled by his answer.

Before he could think of how to answer, he heard the old man continue: "Come in and talk."

The old woman opened the attic, waved to him, and walked up first.

Fan Mu carefully stuck his head out to check, and saw a scene that shocked him.

Pairs of curious and fearful eyes looked at him, and the dim candlelight illuminated the childish faces.

The attic was full of children.

"Child, you should hide here for the next few days. You can talk, but don't be too loud!" The old woman warned him as soon as she went upstairs.

"Someone will come to rescue you in a few days, don't worry too much!" the old man comforted him.

"Old lady, where is this?" Fan Mu asked doubtfully, his eyes constantly wandering over the faces of these children.

"This is an orphanage!" The old woman showed a loving smile on her face, "You are all my children, and I am the director of this place!"

"What about you? How did you find this place? You know, this place is not close to Panyan Town!"

"Old lady, have you seen a child with blue hair? I followed him here and I saw that he seemed injured!" He did not see any familiar figures among these children, not even one with blue hair.

"Blue-haired Xier! Is she injured?" The old woman's face showed a worried look, thinking anxiously, "What should I do?"

Fan Mu took in her expression and she looked like a good person. "Don't worry too much. She has already solved the problem. It's just that I wanted to help her, but she was very resistant. When I went out to find some medicine, she disappeared!"

"Is that so?" The old woman felt relieved a little, but the worry between her brows did not diminish at all.

"Xi'er should have gone back. I don't know how badly she was injured. Isn't she always very careful? How did she get hurt this time?"

The old woman wanted to go and check, but when she saw her children staring at her in the attic, she couldn't let her mind go. It didn't matter if she died outside, but if she didn't survive, what would happen to the children?

In this way, she fell into a very tangled situation, but the final choice had already been determined.

"I'll go, old lady, just tell me where she is!"

Fan Mu offered, “I hid the medicine outside, and only I know where it is!”

He wanted to go out, not only because of the little brat named Xier, but also because there was a corpse outside that was not yet completely cold!

"You? No! You are fooling around!" The old woman said with a stern face, "Do you know how dangerous it is outside now?"

"I know!" Fan Mu looked at her, "But I've been fine all the way here, I'm sure!"

"After all, you, old lady, don't want to see Xier get into trouble, right?"
