Chapter 134 The Abnormal Mother 6
"Dad?! I don't know, I don't have a dad. Mom is asleep."
Xiao Xiao looked at her, thought for a moment, and then said with an innocent expression.
"ah--?!"
Yuan Xiaoling was completely bewildered, and then she couldn't help but start imagining things.
The father abandoned the mother and daughter, and now the mother has passed away?
"Then why are you here alone? Who brought you here?"
"My aunt brought me here."
"Auntie?!"
"Correct!"
Xiao Xiao wasn't lying; it really was the system auntie who brought her here.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiaoling hugged Xiaoxiao tightly and cursed inwardly.
What kind of aunt is this? How could she be so heartless?
If you don't want to raise it, you can send it to an orphanage!
How could you leave a child in a restricted area? Isn't that sending the child to their death?
Upon hearing this, the system administrator couldn't help but cover her forehead; she simply couldn't bear to look.
"Sister, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"
The little girl looked up with her round face looking pitiful, with lipstick blush on her cheeks, making her look both cute and funny.
"Yes, we have rice crackers and instant noodles."
Yuan Xiaoling hurriedly took out some biscuits and handed them to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. Finally, she could eat the food that normal people can eat.
Seeing Xiao Xiao wolfing down her food, Yuan Xiaoling felt a pang of sadness.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Just then, an alarm sounded around them.
"Oh no, this area needs to be sealed off and cleared!"
Yuan Xiaoling's expression changed, and she picked up Xiaoxiao and was about to leave.
Xiao Xiao struggled to her feet, swallowed the biscuit in her mouth, and pushed against Yuan Xiaoling's shoulder, calling out:
"Sister, I can't leave here."
"Huh? Why? Something strange is about to happen. It's dangerous here!"
"I'm not afraid, Mom will protect me."
Xiao Xiao climbed down from the older girl's back, patted her little chest, and said with a proud expression.
After saying that, with a rice cracker in his mouth, he ran to the scooter, plopped down on it, and glided into the lobby.
Yuan Xiaoling was startled and hurriedly chased after him, calling out anxiously in a low voice:
"No—no, drive back! It's dangerous inside!"
But Xiao Xiao ignored her and instead giggled as she slid into the hall.
Night had fallen, and the last rays of sunlight in the restricted area disappeared below the horizon.
"Waaah------"
The loudspeakers in the restricted area began to blare a long wailing, warning that something strange was about to happen.
Those who remain in the restricted area are advised to leave or seek shelter as soon as possible.
Yuan Xiaoling stood at the entrance of the hall, looking surprised and hesitant, too afraid to go in.
"There's no danger, sister. Look, there's nothing here, it's safe!"
He smugly spun around the lobby, then pulled up in front of Yuan Xiaoling with a cool drift.
Yuan Xiaoling nervously swallowed and drew the standard-issue machete used by the Demon Hunter Squad.
With sharp eyes, he scanned the hall, wary of any strange occurrences that might arise at any moment.
It's strange, though, as this isn't the first time Yuan Xiaoling has entered a restricted area.
I do know something about the situation in the talent apartment, which is an SSS-level dangerous area.
At night, the place is brightly lit and bustling with people.
It's just like a real residential building, full of everyday life.
But today it's so quiet, there's not a sound at all.
This did not reassure Yuan Xiaoling; on the contrary, it heightened her vigilance to the extreme.
Something unusual must be going on!
But right now, things are extremely abnormal.
"Kid! Listen to your sister, let's leave quickly!"
"You want to play? Let's go outside! There are plenty of fun places out there."
"No, I want to wait for Mom here. Mom will worry if she can't find me."
Knowing the story's plot, how could Xiaoxiao possibly leave?
Once they leave this place, they will become targets of the Celestial Masters sect.
"But it's really dangerous here!"
"No, it's not dangerous at all."
Sister, didn't you bring instant noodles?
I want to eat instant noodles, let's cook some!
As Xiao Xiao was talking, his mouth started watering.
She pushed off with both feet, and the scooter slid forward until it stopped at the elevator door.
"Hey---No, no---Come back quickly, it's dangerous!"
Yuan Xiaoling was both anxious and angry. How could this little brat be so bold? He was too unruly.
I really want to spank her.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't bear the pangs of conscience.
After hesitating for a while, he still walked into the hall with trepidation, stopping every step he took, being extremely careful.
But until they entered the lobby and were about to enter the elevator, they did not see anything strange or hear any unusual noises.
That's really strange.
Is today some kind of weird day off?
She turned her head and glanced back; various strange creatures were already appearing in the shadows on the street.
Here, it was quiet, with only the sound of children talking and the friction of scooters sliding on the ground.
Just then, the elevator doors opened with a ding.
Yuan Xiaoling nervously held up a standard-issue machete, but the elevator was empty.
Only a few pairs of shoes remained on the floor, belonging to both adults and children.
How strange!
Moreover, these shoes were all neatly arranged against the walls on both sides.
With a tiny whoosh, she slid inside, waving to Yuan Xiaoling to come in quickly.
She couldn't wait to try instant noodles.
"Kid, let's... hurry up and go!"
Yuan Xiaoling nervously waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly, refusing to enter.
"But I want to eat instant noodles. I'm so hungry, sister. I haven't eaten for days."
The little thing looked pitiful, its face tilted upwards as it pleaded for answers.
Reason told Yuan Xiaoling to ignore the little brat in front of her and leave quickly.
It's absolutely abnormal for a little kid to appear unharmed in such an extremely dangerous area.
But emotionally, she couldn't control herself. The child in front of her was fair-skinned, chubby, and just a normal child.
Not weird.
Because there have never been any reports of strange occurrences involving normal humans.
Every single one of the bizarre humanoid figures that appeared in the restricted areas was strangely shaped.
She unconsciously took a step and entered the elevator.
Then we went up to the third floor. When Xiaoxiao was looking around the apartment yesterday, she found that the apartment on the third floor was the cleanest.
She stopped at the doorway, stood up from the scooter, and then kicked the door.
With a loud bang, Yuan Xiaoling, who was behind, was almost scared to death.
"Don't---"
She held a standard-issue weapon in one hand and clutched her chest with the other, her heart pounding in her chest.
Xiao Xiao ignored him, kicked the door, and twisted it open.
"Sister, come quick, cook some instant noodles, there's a pot here."
Xiao Xiao said this as she went inside, waving for Yuan Xiaoling to follow.
The level of familiarity and ease with which they performed was as if they were in their own home.
Yuan Xiaoling opened her mouth wide, swallowed hard, looked around for a while, and then cautiously followed them inside.
This is a very ordinary apartment room, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The room is very clean and cozy.
Shoes were on the shoe cabinet in the entryway, but the house was empty.
Xiao Xiao pulled her trembling daughter into the kitchen, gesturing for her to hurry up, as there was a pot and gas stove available.
Yuan Xiaoling turned on the valve and the gas stove; it really worked.
After the water boiled, she took out two buckets of braised beef noodles from her backpack.
She also brought ham, braised eggs, and pickled vegetables, taking them out one by one.
I shaved the ham and braised eggs into the pot.
Xiao Xiao's mouth was watering just looking at it.
Soon the aroma of instant noodles filled the air. Yuan Xiaoling poured the cooked noodles and broth into the two instant noodle containers.
"Quick, quick, I can't resist anymore. It smells so good."
Right there in the restaurant, Xiaoxiao sat on a chair, each with a bucket of instant noodles and a packet of pickled vegetables.
Slurping up a mouthful of instant noodles and eating a bite of pickled vegetables—the taste is simply divine.
The little one was making cooing noises, its two tiny feet swinging back and forth under the table.
Yuan Xiaoling had a large cleaver on the table in front of her, holding the hilt in one hand and eating noodles with a small fork in the other, while also keeping a watchful eye on the movements inside the room.
They ate and drank their fill, even finishing the last drop of soup, and yet nothing strange happened.
Yuan Xiaoling, like Xiaoxiao, leaned back in her chair and touched her belly.
I feel like I'm dreaming!
It's too demonic.
He was eating instant noodles in what was supposedly an extremely dangerous talent apartment building.
If word gets out, I could brag about it for the rest of my life.
Meanwhile, on the street below, her teammates were wearily clearing away the strange creatures that were hunting everywhere.
"Captain, it feels like there are more and more strange things happening on this street."
Du Zhanlong wiped the sweat from his face, took a breath, and complained.
In this godforsaken place, guns can only kill the first form of physical monsters, but have no effect on the second form of soul-like monsters.
Their current standard weapon is a large cleaver produced in cooperation with the Taoist sect, but this thing is quite heavy, and it gets tiring to use for a long time.
"Stop complaining. Keep an eye out for Xiao Yuan. I wonder if she's safe now?"
On the third floor, Xiao Xiao took a red fruit out of her pocket and handed it to Yuan Xiaoling.
"Sister, give it!"
When Yuan Xiaoling saw the red fruit, her eyes widened. She took it in her hand, examined it closely, and her hands trembled with excitement.
That's right, that's right! It's truly a treasure of the restricted area, blatantly so.
Mom is saved.
She turned her head, about to ask the little girl a question.
Then the little girl took a big bite and ate the red fruit in her hand.
"Huh?! This..."
She opened her mouth wide, staring at Xiaoxiao in shock.
