The Scavengers

After 6pm on June 19

How could the child pass out at this time?

Something to do with the virus?Because of this black rain?or other reasons?

Seeing that he couldn't wake up the child, Xiao Mo immediately ran back to the hotel with the unconscious child in his arms after confirming that the child was still alive.

There is a difference between closeness and closeness. Compared with the strangers who are still waiting for him to be treated with medicine, he is most worried about the comatose child. He is afraid that the child will have a fever in the rain, so he directly carried the child to the third floor.

The family's condition was fine, Xiao Mo didn't touch them, felt the child's body was cold, subconsciously carried the child into the bathroom.

Turn on the gas water heater, quickly strip off the child's clothes, shoes and socks, Xiao Mo also took off the clothes.The backpack that the child never left was casually thrown in the living room by him.

Moderately hot water was poured on his body, making the man who had been tense until now feel suppressed and tired.

This house is relatively old, there is no place to put a bathtub in the bathroom, only a plastic bathtub and plastic low stools are placed.

Xiao Mo put the child in the bathtub, sat on the low stool by himself, looked at the child soaked in hot water, and for a moment didn't know what to do. At this time, the most correct thing to do was to take the child to the hospital. You can go to the hospital to find Doctors are now one of the most desired things.

In a daze, Xiao Mo held the back of the child's neck and began to wash his hair.When his nephew was young, he often helped him take a bath, and it was not difficult for him to take care of the children.

After washing his hair, he put a folded towel on the edge of the bathtub, gently placed the child's neck on it, so that he would keep his head up so that he would not slip into the water, and then he washed his body.He didn't know how to wake the child up, so he could only find something to do for himself.The most important thing is that he wants the children to soak in hot water and get rid of the humidity of the rain.

During the cleaning process, Xiao Mo found two very obvious scars on the child's body, one in front of the other and one in the middle of the chest.

The wound at the waist almost crossed the entire waist, and it looked as if it had been cut in half.

Xiao Mo looked at the child in surprise.How did the kid survive such injuries?

That scar on the chest that looks like a gunshot wound?The round scar is slightly raised, right in the middle of the heart.

gunshot wound?is it possible?Who would shoot a kid that small?Moreover, the two scars looked so old, it was obvious that they happened a long time ago.

Two scars, no matter which one is fatal, what has this child experienced?

Xiao Mo, who grew up in the quiet and peaceful land of Huaxia, could hardly imagine the origin of these two scars on the child.

If the child came from Continent F where there are many turmoil and frequent wars, it would not be surprising to have such injuries. After all, if there is a tribal attack there, none of the elderly, children, or women can escape.

But the child should be Chinese, right?

Xiao Mo subconsciously looked at the child's face, the child was right next to him, but he felt as if he had never looked at the child carefully, nor remembered the child's clear appearance.

With a slightly high nose, slightly sunken eyes, and brown hair, it really looks like a mixed race.

While thinking wildly, Xiao Mo washed himself casually, dried himself, wrapped the child in a big towel, wrapped himself in a small towel, and carried the child into his nephew's room.

Putting down the child, covering the child with a towel, Xiao Mo planned to go to the sister-in-law's room to find a set of clothes for the eldest brother.

The moment Xiao Mo turned around, "Ugh...!" The child groaned in pain.

Xiao Mo turned his head immediately.The child is awake? !

Xue Lihong didn't wake up.But he seemed to be enduring some great pain, his small body curled up, and painful groans came out of his mouth.

The moans gradually turned into roars.

The child's skin gradually turned red, and lines appeared on his body like cracked skin.

Xiao Mo has only seen this kind of whitish cracking pattern on fat people, and it's usually the marks left by the skin being forced to stretch out without enough time to keep up with the swelling of the fat.

How is this going?

There are more and more cracked lines on the skin, and the blue blood vessels are swollen and entangled, as if they will explode anytime and anywhere.

The poor child was like a little beast, writhing wildly on the bed in pain, and let out strange growls from his throat.

Seeing the child like this, Xiao Mo subconsciously ran outside to look at the other three people. Fortunately, the three people did not change, and they were still quietly sitting on the sofa and swivel chair.

Xiao Mo rushed to the bed, not knowing what to do, sweating all over his face in anxiety, he could only pick up the rolling child, rubbing his back and chest, hoping that he would be more comfortable, while muttering: " What's wrong with you? What the hell is going on? How can I help you? Why is this happening all of a sudden? Damn virus!"

The child was drenched with sweat, and the bath just now was in vain.

Xiao Mo didn't ask the system for help, because he knew it was useless to ask.

Xiao Mo held the child tightly, not letting him struggle, because he found that the more the child struggled, the more white marks would explode on the skin.

But Xue Lihong may be in too much pain, and the strength of the struggle is getting stronger and stronger, Xiao Mo feels that he is almost unable to hold the child.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it will be fine soon, good boy, shhh, it's okay, it'll be fine...Damn it! God! Who will help me! Why do you want to torture a child like this?"

Seeing the child in pain, Xiao Mo felt extremely distressed.Even if it's not my own child, after raising it for a few days, even raising a dog has developed feelings for it.What's more, the child is very sensible and took care of him when he was sick.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsrrrrrrrrrrrsrrrrrrrrrrrrsrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Xiao Mo regretted that he didn't eat more just now, he was almost going crazy with hunger, his desire to eat even surpassed his worry about this child.

If it wasn't for the deep-rooted conscience that was still restraining him, he might have left the child and ran to find something to eat.

"Your ability can indeed help him, but ordinary food cannot replenish the energy you consume. Before you can help him, you will collapse due to excessive energy consumption." The system suddenly said at this time.

The system didn't want to help Xiao Mo, but after it calculated, it found that if Xiao Mo died, then its next implanter would have a 99.9% chance of being the child named Xue Lihong.

And this child... Its data analysis gave the word "dangerous". If it is implanted in the other party, the situation may not be too good.

Under the reminder of the system, Xiao Mo almost immediately thought of the first-level energy crystal in his pocket, and immediately said without hesitation: "For the reward content, I choose the method of absorbing and utilizing the energy crystal, hurry up!"

The system did not have the habit of procrastinating, once Xiao Mo selected the reward content, it immediately implemented the reward, very clearly and intuitively mapped out the method of absorbing and utilizing the energy crystal in Xiao Mo's mind.

Xiao Mo jumped out of bed, ran to find his pants, took out the copper-colored first-level energy crystal from his pocket, and immediately ran back to his nephew's room.

According to the system prompt, Xiao Mo stuck the energy crystal on his forehead between the brows, hugged the twitching child with one hand, and began to absorb the energy crystal according to the method the system told him.

The absorption method is not difficult, as long as the energy crystal is attached to the correct position of the energy nest, the user can self-absorb through the energy nest.

The key to the absorption and utilization of energy crystals is to find the correct location of the energy nests. Another key factor is that the absorption methods can be divided into two types: high efficiency and low efficiency.

If the energy crystal is simply pasted on the position of the energy nest, although energy absorption can also be carried out, the utilization rate is not high.What the system taught Xiao Mo was to calculate the absorption method with the highest utilization rate.

This absorption method is not comfortable at first, you have to use your will to restrain the energy nest's instinctive desire for energy crystals, you can't let it absorb too much at once, but absorb it slowly, little by little, and store it in the energy nest.

"This method can effectively use and slowly expand the storage space of the energy nest, avoiding waste." The system explained.

Xiao Mo felt that the position of the pineal gland was very uncomfortable. This strange uncomfortable feeling like being stabbed into the center of the eyebrows by a blunt knife was exactly the same as when it happened that night, even worse.

"After you absorb energy into the energy nest, whenever you use the energy, the energy nest will automatically deploy. Remember, no matter what, you can't let the energy in the energy nest be exhausted. Once the energy nest collapses, not only your ability will disappear, and your life will be in danger."

Xiao Mo felt that the energy that had just been absorbed into the energy nest was losing a lot.

"Letting the energy nest automatically deploy energy according to instinct is the most stupid way to use energy, and it is also the one with the highest loss rate. You must learn to use your own will to control the use of energy. For example, you can now concentrate energy in your own On the right hand, rather than spread over the whole body."

A simple and straightforward route appeared in Xiao Mo's mind, from the position of his pineal gland to the palm of his hand.

"Now control the energy in your energy nest and run according to the line."

Xiao Mo followed his words.

"When the energy is concentrated in your right hand, you have to learn to release the energy effectively, and the best speed and amount of release is 60% of the energy you absorb into the energy nest."

Xiao Mo didn't know what his evolution direction was, nor did he know much about his abilities.He only knows that he seems to be able to heal himself, so can he help children?

But the system says he can help, so he should be able to help, right?

While the system isn't very flattering, it hasn't been lying so far.

In fact, the reward content he originally wanted to choose was the method of using the ability, but...

10 minute later.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The child's head fell back suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and he grabbed the man's neck with his head up.

Xiao Mo just saw the child wake up, and before he could be happy, he was almost strangled to death.

uh uh!Where did this damn kid come from so hard?

Xiao Mo hurriedly went to break the child's hand, but the child's hand was like cast iron, and no matter how he broke it, it would not move.

Xiao Mo didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking the child's hand.

He loves the child, but the child does not love him.He stared at him fiercely like staring at an enemy in a sea of ​​blood, and the strength in his hand did not relax at all.

Xiao Mo couldn't breathe, his face turned red and purple, he had no choice but to use all his strength to break the child's hand.

Sudden!The child's body trembled violently, before Xiao Mo could break him, he let go.

The child howled in pain, grabbed the towel wrapped around his body with both hands, and tore it apart with a "stab".

Xiao Mo was taken aback, and didn't dare to hold the child anymore, jumped under the bed, stood by the bed and stared at him dumbfounded.

"System, what's wrong with Xiaohong? Is his pain caused by a virus?"

"Non-related tasks..."

"Thank you, you can shut up now."

The child's body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.
