Ark: I adopted Seria at the beginning

Go check it out.

He didn't sleep tonight. He looked at the moon outside in the aircraft and couldn't help but wonder, what are the people in this land who are not under my jurisdiction doing now?

He wanted to see the current condition of the land so he could make plans accordingly in the future.

It was still dark, Huang Cheng was walking on the rubble in the cold wind. This time he opened his third eye to sense danger, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to be blown up while walking.

Huang Cheng was walking in the boundless darkness, and the cold wind howled by, picking up gravel and dust and hitting his carapace, making loud noises.

Huang Cheng is searching, he is looking for fire, or people.

In a howling cold wind.

He saw a glimmer of light.

Will there be anyone there?

Huang Cheng could go ahead with this idea.

someone.

When I walked over there, I discovered that the faint light was a small Source Stone lamp.

That's right. It's not possible to light a fire with such a strong wind. Besides, the surrounding area is bare, so where can I find wood?

Next to the lamp is an old man Sakaz, who has lost one hand and one foot. The old man is dozing off, with a petite little girl in his arms.

They cuddled together, relying on this little light.

Seeing someone coming, the old man picked up a knife and pointed it at Huang Cheng, warning him not to come closer.

Huang Cheng picked up a piece of bread from the space and handed it to him, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

Maybe he was really too tired, or maybe he knew he had no ability to stop the man in front of him with the strange power.

The old man took the piece of bread and stopped warning.

He put the dagger back into his chest, but still stared at Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng ignored the old man's gaze and sat down beside him.

Also staring at this tiny light.

Perhaps he was too vigilant, and the child in the old man's arms also woke up.

She looked at the golden scorpion in front of her and understood something almost instantly.

The little girl asked in her childish voice: "Sir, are you homeless too?"

When faced with children's questions, Huang Cheng always answers them.

"Yes, little sister, my home is not in this world."

Yes, Huang Cheng's home is indeed not in this world, because he is a time traveler.

"Sir, are you feeling well?"

"I feel like my body is fine, why do you ask?"

The little girl seemed to wave her hands under her cloak, as if she was afraid that she would be misunderstood, and quickly explained:

"Sir, I don't mean any harm. If you are still healthy, you can go work on the land under construction in the north, and you will be given a home there."

"I've thought about it, but I want to ask you why don't you go? I remember taking in homeless kids there."

The little girl just smiled when she heard this.

At this time, Huang Cheng discovered that there was an obvious hole in the thin blanket wrapping her.

Then the wind blew, revealing the situation inside.

Everything is clear.

The little girl has no hands, right down to her shoulders.

Just now I just shook it with my shoulder, which made people mistakenly think that there was a hand waving inside.

"Sir, a useless person like me won't cause trouble to that adult. That adult has done so much, he must be very hard."

"I have no hands and can't do anything. If I go there, I will snatch other people's food and cause trouble for that adult. If that adult is unhappy and doesn't open a factory there, then so many compatriots will be displaced. I don't want to see this. son."

"Little sister, why do you think so?"

"That's what the aunt at the registration desk over there said. She said that useless people like me shouldn't cause trouble to others and should give up my things to others. I think that aunt is right. I do Very useless..."

The strong wind blew faster and colder, and the little bright light flickered as if it was about to go out.

The wind was blowing fiercely, as if it was blocking the little girl's words, but Huang Cheng still recorded them word for word in his mind.

After a while, the wind finally died down a little.

"Can you show me what you are eating now?" Huang Cheng asked.

"Sir, are you hungry? Take this piece of black bread!"

The little girl opened a black box with her knees, and there was a piece of bread inside. The old man next to her just watched quietly without stopping.

Huang Cheng carefully broke off a small piece with pliers and gave the rest to the little girl, saying that he was just tasting it.

It was bitter, had no texture like bread at all, and was very hard, but not so hard that it couldn't be chewed. It smelled like rotten wood, but luckily it was still swallowable.

"Little sister, have you ever gone to school?"

"What is going to school? Do you mean the beautiful house in the north? I saw many children going there. Are they going to school? I heard the children inside calling the leaders of the house sir and teacher... ."

The little girl's eyes were shining with desire, but Huang Cheng did not dare to look directly at her.

It's not because of guilt. Huang Cheng doesn't need to feel guilty. He has done enough. Without him, more people would be worse off.

But he just didn't dare to look directly.

This desire is so strong that it is difficult to imagine why people of this character would exist in such harsh conditions.

This is not something that can be summed up simply by a child.

The wind blew again, blowing up the thin quilt on the little girl's body. At the same time, due to the angle, the light of the Source Stone lamp also shone in.

Although it was weak, Huang Cheng could still clearly see what was going on inside with his superb eyesight.

The wound on the severed hand was not caused by a bomb, but man-made. He had seen similar wounds in gangs before.

Moreover, the wound seemed to have been there for a long time and should have existed before Huang Cheng traveled through time.

Why did they chop off a little girl's hands? The answer is already obvious.

That means being hungry.

How on earth did this little girl survive? Maybe it has something to do with the old man, but none of that matters.

Through the light, Huang Cheng also discovered that the little girl's thin skin was covered with dense black particles.

The little girl is also an infected person.

"Sir, why don't you say anything? Do you feel cold? How about I give you my quilt. I'm not cold. I'm wearing a piece of clothing underneath."

"Thank you, my shell is very thick, I'm not too afraid of the cold, I just don't know what to say..."

The little girl is still smiling.

In fact, the little girl didn't know why she was smiling. She just remembered an aunt who told her to be happy in life and smile more at people, so that others would feel happy.

So, when someone tried to chop off his hands as a child, even though it hurt, the little girl still smiled.

Because the little girl saw them cooking something with their own hands, and they were all smiling while cooking.

They are happy because of me.

Just smile in the future, it will bring happiness to others.

The little girl has been smiling ever since.

And it is a smile that comes from the heart, a smile that wants others to be happy, without any trace of falsehood.

......

The night is still so long.

But finally.

Dawn is near.

Huang Cheng stayed with them all night.

When the first ray of sunlight shone down in the darkness, Huang Cheng did not leave.
