doom monster

Yu Qiu looked at the child for a long time, then suddenly hugged her.

As if, the warmth of two lonely and helpless people embracing each other can make people feel better.

The child was limp all over, and it took Yu Qiu to hold him for a while before he felt alive.

"Plop...Puff..." He covered his chest and let out a sigh.

"What's your name?" He tried to distract himself and the child, and asked the child's name instead.

The child raised his little head that was buried in his chest, his big eyes were filled with watery tears, he blinked when he heard this, big and big tears rolled down his cheeks like pearls and fell to the ground.

"Panpan" She seemed a little confused, and after saying the name, she repeated it again, "Tan Panpan"

Yu Qiu wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Hey! Panpan, my brother's name is Yu Qiu, how about we live together in the future?"

Tan Panpan stretched out her small hand to hold Yu Qiu's face, looked at herself enlarged in Yu Qiu's amber pupils, nodded and then shook her head hesitantly: "Brother, I miss Mom and Dad."

"Can you help me find them?"

Tan Panpan's eyes sparkled with longing. Yu Qiu didn't know how to answer, but after a long time, he agreed: "...OK."

Tan Panpan got his response, wiped away tears, pouted and was about to speak, but there was a rumble in his stomach.

The child lowered his head, looked at his little belly, frowned, and poked softly: "Brother...it's hungry...."

The heavy atmosphere was interrupted by Tan Panpan and completely disappeared.

Yu Qiu rubbed Panpan's stomach, and suddenly felt relieved. Those people... no, they can no longer be called human beings; Like those zombies, they had lost their lives, yet they became puppets devouring blood.

And this is not what Yu Qiu wants to see, he...just wants to live, to live hard, to see his only support in this life.

There seems to be a problem with the electrical wiring in the house, and the incandescent lamp placed on the ceiling for lighting has become a decoration.

The good thing is that Qiu has good eyesight. He pulled out a candle from the corner, and he could see the light clearly even with this bean lamp.

He checked the small shop and found that there was actually a hidden door close to the inside. Inside was a storage room with several boxes stacked on top of each other. Unfortunately, they were all looted.

Yu Qiu rummaged around and picked up the ones that fell on the ground. There were only 2 bottles of mineral water, a bag of small bread, and 5 bags of crispy noodles.

Yu Qiu didn't dare to eat more, after feeding the child, he barely ate half full, endured the hunger and began to pack up.

Both he and Tan Panpan rolled around in the rubbish dump, their clothes were covered with rubbish and smelly water, they couldn't take care of it just now, but now they can't take it anymore.

He found two disposable towels, opened a bottle of Wahaha, poured them on them to get slightly wet, and planned to help Tan Panpan clean up first, after all, Tan Panpan was so small that he couldn't reach it by himself.

The child was overdressed, round like a ball, Yu Qiu peeled off one piece after another until the last piece, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

He stared at Tan Panpan for a while, swallowed, and looked like he had seen a ghost: "That...Panpan...you are a boy."

Tan Panpan's round eyes flickered, tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes, her delicate nose was slightly wrinkled, her pink diamond-shaped mouth was slightly opened, and with the little hair on top of her head, she looked like a girl no matter how she looked. cute girl dolls.

Tan Panpan glanced at Yu Qiu, as if remembering something, pulled off the hair on his head, the loose hair half drooped like a nest of weeds, perhaps because of the emotion, the mood that had just stabilized just now fell down again, he She sniffled and said in a low voice, "Mom pierced it."

"She likes to braid my hair, and I...I miss her so much, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...and daddy."

I wanted to cry again while talking. "Can I still find them?"

"They disappeared suddenly, don't they want me?"

“Panpan...Panpan wants to go home”

Yu Qiu felt sore, and Panpan said that he wanted to go home. He never wanted to go back to the harbor where he could rely on.

Yu Qiu comforted, "Yes."

"Brother will accompany you to find it."

***

After simple cleaning, Yu Qiu encountered difficulties.

The clothes on the child must not be worn anymore. He brought a set in his bag when he set off, but the size for the child is obviously inappropriate.

Yu Qiu had just inspected the room, and he already knew what was inside; he found the last two disposable towels that were still dry, clipped a few dovetail clips, and forced it into a simple little robe.

After all this tossing, Tan Panpan was a little sleepy. He nodded his head tiredly and fell asleep. Yu Qiu stuffed those empty boxes with some stones for support, and used them as a small bed. It was simple, but it was the only one in the damp room. It's a dry place.

On this day, Yu Qiu was no less tired than a child.After settling Tan Panpan, he hastily washed it, blew out the candles, and then fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, an abrupt sound broke the tranquility of the house; buzzing, buzzing, like fingernails scratching a rolling shutter door.

Yu Qiu was still half asleep and half awake, as if the ear-piercing voice frightened him violently.

He looked at the little lump of warmth in his arms, and his hazy eyes slowly regained clarity.

The rolling door is not soundproof, and there seems to be a woman calling for help across the door.

Yu Qiu squatted by the rolling shutter door and listened.

The woman's breathing was very rapid, and there was a sinking sound as if she had lost her breath.

She seemed to have been running for a long time, her footsteps were as heavy as lead, she leaned against the shutter door where Yu Qiu was, in vain not knowing who to ask for help, her fingernails unconsciously scratched the door, longing to live.

The rolling shutter door of the shop is as shabby as the decoration inside. The owner seems to be trying to save costs. No sound-absorbing tops are installed in the slideway. When you pull it, the sound can be exaggerated and resound through the sky.

Yu Qiu struggled with this door yesterday for half an hour before moving it up little by little. If he opened it rashly now, not only the woman might not be able to save him, but both he and Tan Panpan would get cold.

During Yu Qiu's hesitation, the woman stood up vigilantly as if seeing something, and collapsed in vain as she walked from far to near.

Her fleeing did not change her fate, and the hysterical screams were intertwined with low growls, completely tearing away the illusion of tranquility in the morning.

The woman leaned against the rolling shutter door and twitched all over. After a short struggle, she swallowed her last breath.Blood froth sprang up in her mouth, and her unwillingness was vented in her frightened and wide-open eyes, and hideous and greedy faces were reflected in her colorless pupils, as if declaring the cruelty of this world.

It's a pity that no one cared about her silent accusation, and the diners who came one after another cut her up in just a moment.

Hang Chi Hang Chi, like a sumptuous food feast.

And what this rich breakfast erases is the last trace of a person in the world.

***

Although Yu Qiu had persuaded himself to get used to this world, at this moment, he found that he couldn't pass the barrier in his heart after all.

He wanted to save her, but there was nothing he could do.

For the first time, Yu Qiu felt that he was so useless, the incompetent had no choice but to run away.

Living is not a crime.
