Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Old lady, you don't want to see Xier get into trouble, do you?"

Fan Mu said so.

"You...this..." The old woman's attitude obviously softened.

Apprentice, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "I will be fine, I was very careful along the way, otherwise I would not have gotten here!"

"Once I find Xier, I will bring her back immediately!"

"This... Oh!" The old woman sighed. She was indeed worried about Xier being alone outside, but she was even more worried about the children here. "Walk down the stairs, about halfway down the stairs, there is a platform. If you walk deeper, there is a well. She is nearby."

"Okay." Fan Mu nodded, glanced at the children around him again, paused for a moment at the face of a little girl with silver-gray hair, and then tiptoed away.

"Platform, platform..."

He walked down the stairs in the direction the old woman pointed, and after a while he indeed arrived at a platform.

"Isn't that the place I just climbed up?"

Fan Mu was speechless. It turned out that the person was not going downstairs or upstairs, but was nearby. Then why couldn't he find him just now?

Stepping onto the platform, he came to the place where the fight had just taken place. Only then did he notice that there was indeed a well-like thing in the corner.

"is it here?"

It's no wonder that he was confused, because he looked down into the well. It was not very deep and he could see the bottom at a glance. There was nothing underneath, not even a drop of water.

"Forget it, let's go bury the body first!"

Shaking his head, it’s useless to look for someone if you can’t find him. Important things are more important.

Fan Mu returned to the place where the body was hidden. There was no sign that it had been searched. He picked up the shovel on the ground, found a relatively secluded corner and started working.

This body has very little strength and can't dig for long, but fortunately, with the blessing of talent, he only needs to rest for a short while to recover.

After about two or three hours, the pit was finally dug. The body was buried and the soil was leveled with a shovel. Fan Mu finally put his mind at ease.

"call!"

"Da da..."

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard some very subtle sounds coming from not far away, which were very regular.

Fan Mu stuck his head out and looked, and saw a little kid leaning on two wooden sticks and moving forward carefully.

"Xie'er?"

When her name was suddenly called, Xier looked at him with vigilance and hostility.

Fan Mu came in front of her, but every time he took a step forward, Xier would take a step back!

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm!"

He didn't know what kind of living environment could make a child so vigilant.

"The director of the orphanage asked me to come here! She's worried about you! Come back to the orphanage with me!"

Fan Mu showed a smile that he thought was very kind, stretched out his hand and walked slowly forward, tentatively.

When Xier heard the words of the orphanage director, the hostility in her eyes subsided a little, but she still refused to let him get close.

"You are injured now. Although I don't know how serious it is, the surface of the wound is full of sand and rust. It will definitely get infected in no time. It will not heal and it will be very painful."

He continued to persuade her, threatening: "If your wound is not disinfected, you will die!"

Having said that, Fan Mu thought that she would finally go back with him this time, but she remained indifferent, her eyes still fixed on him, guarding against his every move, as if death was not a big deal to her, and his approach was extremely dangerous.

"Like this, I won't get close to you." Fan Mu raised his hands and took two steps back. He knew that this was a sign of the other party's extreme lack of security. "I'll walk in front, and you follow behind. We'll go to the orphanage together. This way you don't have to worry about me hurting you."

After a pause, he emphasized again with a serious look on his face, "If your wound is not treated, you will really die, and it will be very painful and uncomfortable!"

Perhaps there is a threat in his words, but it is the fact. Without knowing how deep and how big the wound is, and it is covered with rust and dust, and has not been treated, he will really die in such an environment. It is just a matter of time.

Hearing this, Xier's eyes flickered slightly, and she no longer showed any hostility. She remained silent, not knowing whether it meant consent.

It became.

"Then I'll go ahead and you follow!"

After saying that, Fan Mu rushed towards the stairs. Xier stood there, looking at his back. After a while, she slowly followed him, leaning on her stick.

Fan Mu was walking in front, very slowly, looking back from time to time to make sure she was keeping up.

"It's finally over. I don't know how many more children like this there are!"

Fan Mu felt a little emotional, he used to be a member of an orphanage, and when he grew up he would often go back to the orphanage to help out, so he could naturally understand the thoughts and attitudes of most of the children.

But he had never seen a child with such strong vigilance and hostility. What kind of world was this? And where was this place?

He had let down his guard as he sighed like this, and he didn't even notice when a pair of hands came out from behind him. By the time he reacted, his mouth and nose were already covered.

"Woo!"

Fan Mu subconsciously wanted to resist, but his eyes saw the person pressing on him and covering his mouth and nose. He stopped waving his arms and realized that things were not simple.

He looked into the distance and saw a tall creature standing at the stairs. It was different from the previous butterfly-like and bird-like creatures. Although they were both ice blue, this one was in human form, about 2 meters tall, and wearing heavy armor.

"what is this?"

Fan Mu was shocked, but he quickly reacted and hugged the person on top of him and rolled into the corner.

despair! despair!

After an unknown amount of time, the heavy footsteps gradually faded away. He poked his head out from the corner and confirmed that the strange creature had gone far away. Only then did Xier loosen her hands that were covering his mouth and nose and struggled to get out of his arms.

Fan Mu let go of her hand, carefully helped her up, and hurriedly stepped back two steps to give her a safe distance. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know whether it goes up or down?"

Xier watched him leave her surroundings, the vigilance in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she shook her head.

"That's troublesome. We can't go up now." Fan Muwei frowned, "We have to stay somewhere else temporarily. At least we can't come here for a short time!"

"If it goes up there and we follow it, not only will we be in trouble, but the children in the orphanage might also be in trouble!"

Xier listened to what he said, nodded, and walked away staggeringly.

Fan Mu just noticed that the wooden stick she used as a crutch fell over there.

It seems that she is still kind-hearted. At that time, her first reaction was not to save herself, but to protect me. If she had ignored herself and found a place to hide in advance, she would have been fine.

Was your life saved?

For some reason, a faint smile appeared on Fan Mu's lips.

He licked his lips subconsciously, and there was dirt on them from Xier's hands when she covered her mouth just now. For some reason, even though it was just dirt, it felt a little sweet when he licked it.
