Chapter 78 That Cannon Fodder in an Apocalyptic Novel 10
Today, Song Xianyin and the people in the base went out to look for food, but instead of finding food, they discovered a group of refugees.
They were emaciated and dressed in tattered clothes. Most of them were elderly people and women, and there were also a few injured superhumans.
The child in the woman's arms cried incessantly from hunger, creating a very heavy atmosphere.
The apocalypse came very suddenly, and many people did not have their loved ones by their side. Seeing them like this, the people in the base also felt a little sorry for them.
When Xinlong saw these pitiful people, her eyes reddened, and she took out her own food to share with them.
The others looked at Xinlong's actions with puzzled expressions. It was one thing for them to pity these people, but it was quite another for them to take out their own food to share with them.
There were quite a few refugees, so Xinlong could only share her food with the children first.
Song Xianyin quietly tugged at her: "Xinlong, what will you do if you feed them?"
Xinlong smiled at her: "It's okay, I still have some in my room."
After saying that, she took the food and distributed it to the children.
There was hardly any food left in Xinlong's room. She would lend food to whoever ran out, but those people never returned it.
These superhumans are even more vicious than she is.
Song Xianyin frowned as she watched Xin Long's retreating figure. Why did Xin Long insist on giving something to everyone else who didn't?
In the corner, a little girl stared blankly at her, holding a piece of bread, a trace of bread crumbs still at the corner of her mouth.
Her gaze met Song Xianyin's, and seeing Song Xianyin looking at her, she ran towards her with a smile, holding the bread.
Song Xianyin quickly covered her bag. She wouldn't share the food with her; she wasn't Xin Long, and she didn't even have enough to eat herself.
The next second, the little girl held the bread to Song Xianyin's mouth, her eyes crinkling, and she said in a clear, cheerful voice, "Give it to your older sister."
Song Xianyin was stunned for a moment, and she looked at the little girl in front of her in silence.
She's really not human...
She cleared her throat awkwardly: "You eat it yourself, I'm not hungry."
The little girl persistently handed her the bread, her eyes already glistening with tears: "Sister is hungry!"
She just saw this woman staring at another woman as she handed out something.
Song Xianyin looked at her helplessly. Children are indeed troublesome. She hadn't even said anything before she started crying.
She sighed and took out a few candies from her pocket and gave them to her: "I have some, you can keep them for yourself."
The little girl's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the candy in her hand. She looked longingly at the old woman behind her, unsure whether she should take it or not.
The old man shook his head at the little girl.
Sugar is a very precious thing in the end times, and people are already very grateful that kind people can give them food.
The little girl lowered her head in disappointment. Song Xianyin didn't like to coax children, so she stuffed the candy into the little girl's arms and sat far away.
Xinlong saw her action and a smile flashed in her eyes.
She squatted down and coaxed, "Go eat, all of this is yours."
The little girl then happily ran away.
Seeing Xinlong's reaction, several people started dividing the food.
Looking at the people in the corner, Song Xianyin asked curiously, "Captain, are they superhumans?"
These people were different from the others; their eyes were filled with vigilance, and their injuries were the most severe.
Ruan Jingsheng nodded gently.
“They all gave the food to these people,” Song Xianyin said softly.
Ruan Jingsheng looked at them, his eyes crinkling into a smile: "Isn't this a waste? Those superhumans are beyond saving."
Song Xianyin frowned: "These superhumans were probably injured because of these people."
That's why the others gave them all the food.
Ruan Jingsheng laughed out loud. Song Xianyin looked at him in confusion, but his gaze remained fixed on the few superhumans.
A short while later, Ruan Jingsheng got up and walked over to the group of superhumans.
Song Xianyin stared blankly at his retreating figure.
Several superhumans watched them warily. The entrance to the cave was extremely well hidden; it would be impossible for an ordinary person to find it.
But they are too badly injured now, and there is nothing they can do but acquiesce to their entry.
Song Xianyin didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing the expressions of those superhumans change from wary to trusting, she roughly knew what had happened.
A short while later, Nguyen Canh Tenh distributed the food in the space to the refugees. There was a lot of food, and the refugees were so moved that they cried tears of joy.
Ruan Jingsheng decided to bring these superhumans back to the base. Although the other superhumans did not object, their expressions showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
It would be fine to bring back a few healthy superhumans, but what's the use of bringing back these half-dead, crippled people? They'd need to be cared for for a while.
Normally, it would be He Qiuyu who would speak up at this time, but now that he's dead, no one dares to speak up.
These superhumans no longer have the ability to protect these refugees, and these refugees can't save these superhumans either; this is already the best arrangement.
Soon the group left the cave to find food elsewhere.
The truck was much quieter than usual. People were giving the extra few people a hostile look, since there would be a few more people to share the food.
Fortunately, they found a decent amount of food today, so the newcomer with superpowers wasn't ridiculed by those people.
Upon returning to the base, Xi Yu immediately began treating them.
Their wounds had begun to fester and emitted a strong stench.
Xi Yu and Xin Long silently treated the wounds on the group of people.
When the night was deep and quiet, Song Xianyin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She hadn't absorbed other people's abilities in so long, and she always felt like something was scratching at her heart, making her itch.
It seems Ruan Jingsheng is on night watch today, but wouldn't it be too obvious for her to go over like this?
Hearing the commotion outside, Song Xianyin immediately got out of bed. Ruan Jingsheng would surely understand her!
She quietly opened the door and found Ruan Jingsheng standing at the door of the room of the new superhumans.
He stood there quietly, neither knocking nor making a sound, which looked extremely strange.
Suddenly, he turned his head and met her gaze.
She huddled behind the wall, only peeking out her head. When he looked at her, she gave him a dry smile.
Ruan Jingsheng was not surprised by her appearance. He smiled and waited for her to come over.
Song Xianyin walked to his side with a mournful face, wiping away imaginary tears from her eyes: "Captain, what should I do? I feel so bad right now."
"I feel so bad I can't sleep, sob sob sob..." She peeked at him through a crack in her eye.
Ruan Jingsheng's eyes were full of smiles. He nodded and reached out his hand to her.
Song Xianyin was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively took his hand.
