After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

The two thugs walked toward the main road. As they approached the boy, they suddenly attacked. Taking advantage of their height, one of them grabbed the boy's hand holding the knife and tried to take it away, while the other took the opportunity to punch the boy in the face.

The boy quickly bent back to dodge a punch, but lost his balance and fell backward because his other hand was grabbed. Seeing the punch coming again, the boy had no way to dodge.

Just as the boy was preparing to take the blow head-on, he suddenly heard the sound of a knife piercing flesh. Blood gushed from the back of the thug who was throwing punches. Before he died, his eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't even have time to turn around and look at his attacker before he breathed his last and collapsed helplessly.

Seeing his companion suddenly fall, the thug who was trying to take the knife was also startled. He didn't care about the boy anymore, let go and prepared to run away, but suddenly felt a hard kick to the head. He felt a pain in his neck and lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"You..." The boy sat on the ground, staring in disbelief at Leng Ran who had fallen from the sky, speechless with shock.

"My name is Mo Li. Thank you for saving me." Leng Ran gave a hearty laugh and reached out his hand to the boy on the ground.

"Junhan." Junhan instinctively reached out and grabbed it, using the leverage to stand up.

Unexpectedly, the person he wanted to save didn't need his help. Instead, he was saved by them. Looking at the two people lying on the ground, one dead and one unconscious, Jun Han felt a mix of emotions.

"Why are you following me, Junhan?" Leng Ran turned around to pull the fruit knife from the corpse, asking casually as if they were having a casual chat, without looking at Junhan.

Jun Han then saw clearly that a knife was stuck in the heart of the corpse, with the rest of the knife, except for the hilt, completely submerged in the heart!

Just as Jun Han was about to be struck by the fist, Leng Ran, who had already memorized the technique, forcefully swung the fruit knife in his hand, piercing through the unprotected man's clothes and plunging into his heart. At the same time, he gathered his strength in his feet, leaped off the roof, and used the momentum to kick the thug who had taken the knife in the head. Taking advantage of the man's dazed state, he delivered a chop to the back of the man's neck, knocking him unconscious.

“I meant no harm… It’s rare to see someone your age wandering the streets, and I was worried you might encounter a cannibal…” Jun Han watched as Leng Ran skillfully wiped the blood off the knife with the clothes on the corpse, and then added, “But with your skills, it seems you don’t need protection.”

Jun Han recalled everything that had happened and suddenly understood something. His amber eyes darkened as he looked at Leng Ran and said, word by word, "So, you deliberately lured them out. Why? To kill them?"

Leng Ran watched as the wariness in Jun Han's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and she thought to herself that he was indeed a child who had survived to this day in this dog-eat-dog world, and his mentality was far beyond that of his peers.

Leng Ran didn't answer his question directly, but instead asked, "Jun Han, do you think those two deserve to die?"

Jun Han paused, looking at the two bodies lying on the ground. He didn't like killing, but in this place, kindness often meant death.

He had seen too many people robbed and murdered, too many people attacked and eaten by strange beasts; those cruel scenes were already etched into his heart.

The two men in front of them, along with the owner of the black bakery, committed all sorts of evil deeds, bullying ordinary scavengers, and were notorious bullies on Wanyou Street.

“I don’t want to kill, but if necessary, I won’t hesitate.” Jun Han frowned.

"Very good." Leng Ran nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Now it's my turn to answer the question."

“Luring them out is a test I specifically set for you.” Leng Ran shrugged, twirling a beautifully decorated knife in his hand. “I need to understand who you are, why you’re following me, and what you want to do.”

“I didn’t originally intend to kill them, but given how terrible their behavior was and how they wanted to harm my savior, I naturally didn’t need to be polite.”

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have followed you so rashly." Jun Han looked embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I appreciate your kindness. In any case, thank you for your concern for my safety." Leng Ran smiled sincerely at Jun Han. In the apocalypse, people's hearts are cold and indifferent. Jun Han's willingness to worry about a stranger's child shows that he is kind at heart, which naturally won Leng Ran a lot of goodwill.

"Where do you live? Why are you out alone? Let me take you home." Jun Han was blinded by the cold smile and asked unconsciously.

"I have no home anymore." The cold smile gradually disappeared, and he calmly stated this fact.

Jun Han, realizing he had touched a nerve, panicked a little: "Then... what about the family members who raised you?"

“I don’t know. A few months ago, they went out hunting and never came back. Others say that there are high-level beasts in that area that have torn many people to pieces.” Leng Ran’s mood became increasingly depressed, his eyes reddened, his voice grew softer and softer, filled with deep sorrow, and his body even trembled slightly.

Yes, that's exactly the reaction a little girl who has just lost a loved one would have.

Jun Han couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and gently patted Leng Ran's shoulder. The person in front of him was very thin, a head shorter than him. He really didn't know where he got such strong strength and such beautiful skills.

“My parents’ enemies started hunting me down. I fled all the way here, hoping to find a place where no one knows me and start over.”

“I’m sorry, Mo Li…” Jun Han said softly, “If you don’t mind, you can come and stay at my house.”

Thinking about all the things that had happened this week—his parents were missing, he was kidnapped by the Illuminati, forced to fake his death, and compelled by the silver-haired man to come to the nameless planet to survive.

All the grievances and sadness welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel sad for a few seconds, but I quickly adjusted my mindset.

"Don't be sad... How about coming to stay at my house? The uncles and grandfathers are all very nice people, they'll like you." Seeing Leng Ran remain motionless for a long time, Jun Han's face showed a hint of panic.

"Okay, thank you, Junhan." Leng Ran took a deep breath to calm herself down and walked to the thug who was not yet completely dead.

With a snap, he coldly and decisively broke the thug's neck, sending him to hell. Then he pushed over the pile of debris, burying the two bodies inside.

"Junhan, let's go." Leng Ran, having composed herself, spoke with the same calm tone she had when she first met Junhan. If it weren't for her slightly reddened eyes, Junhan would have thought everything that had just happened was a hallucination.

“Okay, I’ll take you to see Uncle Yuan first. He should be buying wine at the tavern right now.” Jun Han nodded, picked up his sword wrapped in tattered strips, and led the way.
