Chapter 16 The Weird Child

Baoding used to be a small city with a large permanent population. Li Qing walked along the thick fog, but the scene he saw was nine out of ten rooms.

Not to mention the suburbs, the situation still did not improve when it arrived in the city. Li Qing noticed that on the streets passing by, all the houses were closed. In the past, the doorway was also dilapidated. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and after walking, four or five waves of people were encountered, most of them from other places.

"It seems that many people are going to Beijing." They walked from the south of the city to the north of the city. The outsiders who came to the south of the city were also traveling to the north of the city. They looked like they were tired from the journey. It was obvious that they rushed in from the jungle outside.

"Well, this is closer to Beijing. The big willow tree is coming. There is no place to go besides going to Beijing." After entering the city, the indigenous man relaxed a lot. After he arrived here, he became much safer and no longer had to worry about being thrown in the jungle by Li Qing and speaking a lot.

"How are your injuries?" Li Qing asked.

"It's better. After the Doomsday, those who are not strong enough will die. I'm fine." The man nodded to express his gratitude.

"I haven't asked your name along the way."

"Duan Zidong."

"Li Qing." Li Qing introduced himself, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"I don't know, just find a team to go to Beijing together. If you don't dislike it, I can follow you." The man glanced at Li Qing. The journey was not long, but it was not short. In most of the day, a person's basic personality could be seen. In Duan Zidong's impression, Li Qing was a cold but not so bad person. He said whatever he had. Although he was sometimes domineering, he was not unreasonable.

Of course, these are all second-hand. The most important thing is that these guys wearing strange things and carrying strange weapons have very strong combat power.

At least they are much stronger than ordinary people, and at least they are also combat power that only people at strong evolutionary levels can show. In addition to combat power, there seem to be some strange means. Otherwise, the heavy smell of blood on their bodies along the way would not have been able to pass through the jungle safely.

In this apocalypse, Duan Zidong knew the "priority principle" of ordinary humans traveling through the jungle - giving up their injured companions.

In an ordinary team, if someone has a wound of large-scale bleeding, he will definitely be abandoned by the team. Because the smell of blood is the guide of the hunters in the jungle, which will bring more than ten times the danger to the team. If the ordinary team wants to walk through the jungle, it is not completely impossible for them to go through the jungle, but if someone is injured and insists on taking it, almost anyone can think of what will happen next - the hunters who rushed to the news will be tortured to death one after another.

But these people are different. Many hunters spy on the way, but few people dare to come up to test. After the red fog came, the hunters had a keen feeling. They were either strong or smart, and the weak and stupid were eliminated by the jungle law long ago. Therefore, the failure of ordinary hunters to attack is enough to show the strength of this team. Moreover, Duan Zidong also had his own thoughts in his mind. He was injured now, and the ordinary team could not accept him. If he wanted to go to Beijing, he would either recover from the wounds here and recover from the wounds, or he had to follow Li Qing's team.

"Boss, we have nothing to exchange, what should we do?" Zhang Qinliang, who was on the way, suddenly thought of a question, and then stepped forward and asked two steps.

"Grab, isn't this something you are good at?" Li Qing turned around, "Our equipment must not be used for exchange, and to be honest, even if I have some food and drink, I don't want to exchange it out now, and Zhizhi can't wait for that long, so I can only grab it."

While speaking, Li Qing turned around and asked, the native joke dog, "Do you think if you rob, will the success rate of robbing the store be high?"

"Not high. In this era, those who dare to open shops have military backgrounds." Duan Zidong replied: "You think, he dares to put so many goods on it, so how can he not protect it without armed forces? Unless you can compete with the army or rob the things and run away before the army finds out, I don't recommend you rob the shop."

"Well." Li Qing nodded. Although he still knows little about the social composition of this world at present, as he said, shops are not so easy to rob. Moreover, Li Qing's own idea is to stay here for a day or two, not to leave directly, so robbing the shop is obviously an unwise move.

After all, there is a dangerous jungle ahead to travel, and everyone's injuries are quite serious. Even if the task is urgent, you have to ensure your most basic physical condition first.

"When someone steals something, whoever robs you will die? If you don't have weapons and water, you won't live for two days." While Li Qing was walking, he passed by a team of outsiders. The team was large in number, dozens or hundreds of people, but they were all covered in dust and embarrassed. These people were very poor, without decent weapons, and had no reserves for food and water. They were just a civilian team in ordinary cities. Taking them was like robbing beggars, with less oil and water and heavy psychological burden.

"Boss, what should I do?" Ding Kun obviously saw this situation and came up to ask.

"There's no way, let's take a look." Li Qing speeded up his pace again while speaking, and in order to cater to his pace, the team naturally stepped up their progress.

After a few people walked forward for a few kilometers, they were approaching the center of the city and the number of people gradually increased. Li Qing simply improved his perception and observed the surroundings to see if there were any targets to start.

After his mental power entered his eyes, Li Qing's vision improved. He was about to look around, but found that more than ten meters away, a child was staring at him blankly.

The child was very strange. His eyes were staring straight at the direction where Li Qing was, but his eyes were not focused. Li Qing took a step to the side in confusion and found that the child's head also turned a little.

"Can you see me?" Li Qing looked at the child. The child was only two years old. According to the age of an ordinary child, he could run and jump for a while. Li Qing didn't know if the physical condition of human beings in childhood would change after the arrival of the red fog. However, according to the world he lived in, usually children could walk around 1 years old and start to run and jump around 2 years old. The child in front of him was over two years old, which should be a childish grade, but Li Qing always felt that this child was weird. He did not have a trace of the innocence that children should have. Instead, he exuded a kind of steady temperament like an adult - or more wise and transparent than an adult.

Temperament is very mysterious, but in fact everyone has it. One person is either vulgar or charming, and others can see at a glance that when the child stands there, Li Qing feels uncomfortable all over, and feels as if he is seen through. This is very strange.

Not only that, the child looked at people without focus, just like a blind man looking at you. It was obvious that he could not see anything, but Li Qing could capture every time he moved, as if this person had other ways of perception besides the five senses of his body.

These are the strange things about this child himself, and in addition to this, there are other unreasonable aspects in it.

First of all, this child is very clean, with no dust on his face, and his clothes are not so ragged - this may not be anything else, but in this mission world, this child is the cleanest person Li Qing has ever seen. Other teams, including himself and these trialists, have either dirt or blood, and their lips are dry and dehydrated, and they all have a very obvious embarrassment.

The locals Li Qing met were not as dressed as Yu Jing and had a calm expression. Everyone looked like they were short of food and drink. Everyone had the melancholy and embarrassment that had been in danger all year round - but this child looked like a pampered person in front of Li Qing. The danger outside the forest and inside the city did not exist at all for him.

Not only that, there are no parents around this child. Logically, even the child led by the local army should not appear outside independently. If he is a senior child, he should be well taken care of, and there are military guards and accompanying personnel around him - there is no such thing, and the child seems to be alone.

"So strange." When Li Qing felt strange, the strange child in front of him said something strange first, then stepped forward a few steps towards Li Qing, walked within three meters of him, and his eyes gradually focused, "The breath on you is so strange."

The child looked up and down at Li Qing and the trialist beside Li Qing, his eyes swept over, but he did not stop at the indigenous people.

"The breath on you is really weird, and the materials you are wearing." After the child glanced around, his eyes remained on Li Qing's helmet - the "Andalil's face" made of hell materials, "these things do not look like products from the earth."

"There are so many things on the earth, how do you know that this is not a product of the earth?" Li Qing felt even more strange when he heard the child's words - something abnormal must have a demon. Whether it is curiosity or self-protection consciousness, he responded to the words of this "child" who was blinded.

"There are thousands of kinds of things on the earth, but the basic components are just a few. I don't think your helmet looks like something on the earth, or even something that should exist in this world." The child said in a mature manner, and then looked at Li Qing's eyes with some uncertainty: "Are you aliens?"
