Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Because they took a long detour and stopped frequently, it took them almost ten days to get out of the mountains.

When we reached the town, the view became much wider.

But when we arrived at the town, what caught our eyes was not the peaceful and comfortable town that other villagers had described.

There were traces of fire everywhere, the wreckage of houses was scattered everywhere, the ground was charred and there were many holes made by large and small meteorites.

Not only that, there were some charred limbs scattered on the roadside. Although they could no longer be seen in human form, Shi Anan could still tell what they were at a glance.

Not only did she see it, Xiao Yi saw it as well. Both of them felt a little heavy. They guessed that the situation in the town was probably not very good, but when they actually saw this tragic situation with their own eyes, it was still a little hard to accept.

Suddenly, a dark shadow quickly rushed past them. Shi Anan was startled. She looked up and exchanged glances with Xiao Yi, saying, "It looks like a person!"

"Let's go and take a look." Xiao Yi did not hesitate.

The two followed the direction the black shadow left, and soon they discovered that the black shadow turned out to be a surviving child.

The child looked young, but he was dirty, his clothes were tattered, and there was dirt on his hair and naked body, just like a little beggar.

At this moment, he was shivering and huddled among a pile of charred house wreckage, looking at Shi Anan and Xiao Yi vigilantly.

Although he was a child, he was a rare survivor in the town. He should have been hiding on the side of the road just now. He suddenly ran away because he was frightened by the two of them.

Shi Anan was afraid that if she got too close, he would have a stress reaction, so she stopped five steps away, squatted down, looked him in the eye, and asked softly, "Don't be afraid, we are just passing by and we won't hurt you."

The child still didn't relax and stared at Shi Anan, as if he would jump up again if Shi Anan made any move.

Shi Anan continued: "Are you hungry? I have some meat buns here. Do you want some?"

Seeing that the child seemed to have been hungry for quite some time, she took out a meat bun with a physical strength buff.

The child's eyes moved to the meat buns and he swallowed secretly. Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation of hunger and slowly took a step forward.

When Shi Anan saw that he was still able to listen to what was said, she smiled slightly, moved forward like him, and then handed the bun to him.

The child grabbed the bun and wolfed it down. Shi Anan was afraid that he would choke, so she brought him a pot of water and said, "Eat slowly. No one is trying to snatch it from you. Don't choke."

The hungry child would not listen to any advice and ate the bun in just a few bites with his neck stretched out.

After eating the buns, I don’t know if it was because his strength was restored a little, or because he felt that An An, who gave him the buns, was not a bad person, but he relaxed a little when facing her.

But he still huddled there, just looking at Shi Anan, without saying anything.

Shi Anan had no choice but to ask again: "Are you from this town? Are your family still here? Why are you here alone?"

The child nodded first, then shook his head.

"Your family is all gone? Then how did you survive all this time?" Shi Anan asked in surprise. Although she already had some bad guesses in her mind after seeing the child's condition, she still felt sad after confirming it.

In such a harsh world, how did a child survive alone?

When the child heard Shi Anan's question, he stood up and ran in one direction. Shi Anan thought he was going to run away again and didn't react for a moment. It was not until the child stopped and turned to look at them that she realized that he probably wanted to take them somewhere.

"go!"

Shi Anan walked towards the child, and Xiao Yi followed closely behind them.

The child took them on a winding road, and after the view widened, they discovered that this was actually a survivor camp!

This area was also lucky, as it was a rare piece of land that survived the meteorite shower. Moreover, thanks to the water source, the surrounding plants were still green, unlike the ones they encountered on the road before, which were all scorched by wildfires.

Although the number of people in this temporary survivor camp is much smaller than that in the previous town, it is actually more than that in Guangming Village, with about 300 people.

Some simple daily necessities were scattered on the ground. Some people sat on the ground with blank eyes, as if they had lost interest in life; some people struggled to sit up, walked into the woods, and tried to dig some wild vegetables on the ground to satisfy their hunger.

When Shi Anan and Xiao Yi walked over, they were very eye-catching, not only because of their outstanding looks and temperament, but also because there was no numb look in their eyes that showed the pain of being tempered by the sufferings of the end of the world and struggling to survive.

The eyes of some people who were too hungry to get up moved slightly as Shi Anan and Xiao Yi approached, but no one said a word. They were really too tired of living and had completely lost hope in living.

When Shi Anan saw this scene, her heart ached. In this era, productivity was backward, and they were completely unable to prevent or resist such natural disasters.

Although she had experienced many hardships here, whether she was fleeing in the capital or building in Guangming Village, the people she met, even if some were injured, still had a desire to survive in their eyes.

This was the first time she had seen such a dead look in the eyes.

The child brought them to the temporary camp and entered a tent made of rags. A woman's voice came softly asking, "Shuanzi, did you find anything to eat?"

Shi Anan didn't hear the child's voice outside, and didn't know whether he nodded to the woman or something. After a while, a skinny woman came out and looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Who are you...?" the woman asked hesitantly. It was obvious at first glance that these two people were different from them. They must be a rich young lady and a rich man who were living a good life.

"Auntie, we came out from the mountains and would like to ask about the situation in the county." Shi Anan did not say that she came from Guangming Village for the time being.

"In the mountains? Is there food in the mountains? Why do you seem to have no signs of hunger at all?"

"Isn't there any extreme cold there, or any punishment from the heavenly fire?"

The woman looked very excited. She really couldn't live happily here anymore. Could she live as well as they did in the mountains that these two people were talking about?

The word "food" was very sensitive to them now. The woman's voice was loud, and except for those who didn't want to move and lay waiting to die, some other people who were digging wild vegetables and tree roots also came over one after another after hearing it.

"Don't get excited. We came here to find out the current situation. I will tell you about what happened in the mountains later." Shi Anan hurriedly comforted the woman. The woman also found that she was a little excited and restrained herself slightly.

However, those who discovered that Shi An An and Xiao Yi were different still did not leave, but stayed beside them to listen to what they said.

Since these people refused to leave, Shi Anan did not plan to chase them away. She was still thinking about whether she could take them to Guangming Village.
