The manhole cover was completely lifted, and a cute loli with short black hair and a dirty face poked her little head out of the well:

"Turns out I'm lost! It's very dangerous around here. Do you want to come in and hide for a while? If you want to set off, it's better to wait until the rain stops."

"...."

Cheng Rang finally discovered what was wrong.

The thick manhole cover was easily lifted to the ground by the girl with one hand, making a clanging sound. Even an adult man would have to use at least two hands to open the solid cast iron manhole cover.

And here is almost the same as Rick's place, a world where monsters are rampant. Human beings, who are slaughtered by monsters, can't even avoid the sounds and movements outside. How can they take the initiative to appear in the face of danger? !

But the girl in front of him not only took the initiative to check on the situation, but her first words after seeing her were -

"Huh? It's not a monster..."

[Humanity has found its last hope against monsters with the power of the "Cursed Children", girls who can control the gastrula virus. 】

Recalling the system's brief explanation of the world before, Cheng Rang looked intently at the thin, half-clothed girl in front of him and felt a little shocked.

Could it be...

We need to fight monsters in this world, humanity’s last hope...

It’s this group of people who look like they’re less than ten years old—

—Children?

Chapter 2 If you behave like this, you will be arrested and sent to jail.

The only sound in the dim underground shaft was the faint sound of liquid dripping into the puddles. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was still daytime outside and some light shone through the gaps, it would have been almost invisible here.

"Be careful. Because it's daytime...so in order to save resources, we can't light up the lights here yet."

Cheng Rang felt himself being gently held up by a pair of soft little hands, guiding him forward.

"Thank you, but I can still see the road a little bit clearly... Hey, your name is Lina, right?" Cheng Rang asked the black-haired girl holding his hand.

"Well, this is..."

"Lina, how can you tell a stranger your name so easily! Have you forgotten how Saki and the others disappeared!"

The other girl had a fierce tone and seemed to be very distrustful of strangers. She walked in front, holding Lina's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Cheng Rang would snatch her away.

"But...I don't feel like eldest brother is a bad person..." Lina secretly glanced back at Cheng Rang and murmured weakly.

"Whether someone is a bad person cannot be judged by [feeling]. Really... idiot Lina!"

Cheng Rang listened silently to the exchange between the two children, with only a wry smile on his lips.

I am a great swordsman, a hero who has saved humanity and the world many times, but am I actually regarded as a bad guy by the loli in front of me?

To be honest, it's a little sad.

Lina seemed to be shaken after listening to the other girl's words, so she asked: "Then shall we take him to grandpa?"

The leading girl stopped and turned around and said, "Of course not!"

...

So now, Cheng Rang was sitting cross-legged on the ground alone, opposite a girl with a vigilant look on her face. She was standing in front of Lina, looking at her like she was guarding a prisoner.

"When the rain stops, throw him out!"

The atmosphere seemed to have reached a stalemate at this point, with only the faint sound of the patter of rain above the head hitting the ground.

I was completely regarded as a strange person by this child...

Cheng Rang felt helpless about this.

She seemed to have the consciousness to loudly alert her companions whenever she made any movement, and she dutifully protected Lina behind her like a sister. It was obvious that her figure was slightly smaller than Lina.

Cheng Rang looked at the vigilant girl. She had the same scarlet eyes as Lina, emitting a faint light in the dim environment.

As for the faces...well, they are all cute.

Forgive Cheng Rang's current thoughts, because he really can't do anything now.

Just raising his hand to scratch his itchy neck twice would make the girl in front of him jump up from the ground as if his hair had exploded, even though he had finally managed to sit down.

Cheng Rang sometimes wanted to persuade her to relax. He looked tired like this.

His attempts to talk to her were even more ruthlessly rejected, as if he was like a savage beast in her eyes.

What happened to the two children that made them treat themselves in completely opposite attitudes? Why are there only such young children living together in the dark sewers in this ruins? Aren't they supposed to be the hope to save humanity from being ruled by gastral organisms?

None of these questions could be answered, so Cheng Rang could only wait patiently and look for some opportunities to strike up a conversation.

Time passed by minute by second, and Cheng Rang was not in a hurry. He had enough time to spend time with them before he figured out the situation. After all, in this land full of ruins, in such a short period of time, Meeting someone who can talk during this time is already considered a miracle.

You have to know that in the last world, I walked alone in the wilderness for more than a week, carrying black dust, before meeting a small group of humans.

Whatever you can grasp, no matter whether it is good or bad, is more or less luck!

Gululu...

Someone's stomach was making a noise due to hunger, and it was clearly audible in the quiet environment.

Look, isn’t this opportunity coming?

Cheng Rang stared at the girl in front of him who immediately pursed her lips, and smiled proudly in his heart.

"What was the sound just now?" Cheng Rang asked knowingly.

"..."

Seeing that the girl still remained silent, Cheng Rang simply started to take things out of his backpack while talking to himself.

"Oh, it seems I'm hungry... What can I eat? Let me see~~"

Potato chips, cola, chocolate, self-heating hot pot, steaming steak, take-out hamburger set...

Just kidding, after experiencing Rick's world last time, Cheng Rang was well prepared this time.

As soon as he saw the words "Fear and Despair, Humanity Living in Equality, War of All" in the system introduction, he immediately grabbed a bunch of delicious and fun stuff and stuffed it into his backpack as if it was free of charge.

What I'm afraid of is this kind of situation where I'm unfamiliar with the place and I don't have everything I want.

Although eating is no longer necessary for you, eating delicious food can bring you some happiness in a desperate world, right?

The two lolita opposite, whose clothes were in tatters and whose faces were covered in dust, looked at Cheng Rang as he pulled out a bunch of fragrant and even hot food out of thin air.

Almost staring out.

Fragrant stir-fried vegetables, hot milk, and even two rice cookers with freshly cooked rice.

The ground in front of Cheng Rang was immediately filled with all kinds of food that made people excited. It could be said that it was like a banquet between Manchu and Han Dynasties.

"Well, which one should I eat this time?"

Cheng Rang could see the cute wide-eyed expressions of the two lolita. He suppressed a smile, took out a fragrant fried chicken leg from the paper bag, put it in front of his nose and took a deep breath, letting out a happy sigh.

"Ah, it tastes so delicious! Let's start with you~"

Completely ignoring the eager looking girls, Cheng Rang took a bite. The golden and crispy fried chicken skin and the coating made a heart-warming crunch that echoed around the surroundings. The tempting juices and fat were torn open along the chicken legs. The place is overflowing.

Gulu-glu-lu-lu-lu-

Someone's belly growled louder. The originally vigilant girl's expression completely collapsed. She gritted her teeth stubbornly and turned her head away. She raised her little hand to rub her deflated belly, but her eyes were closed. From time to time, he glanced at the fried chicken leg in Cheng Rang's hand uncontrollably.

Not long after, the whole chicken leg was eaten clean by Cheng Rang. Just when the girl seemed to be relieved that she had resisted the temptation, Cheng Rang took out the second fried chicken leg from the paper bag.

At that moment, the girl's eyes widened as she stared at the second chicken leg, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"The one I just ate was not enough, let me try another one to satisfy my craving~"

Crunch...crunch...suck~

On the girl's stiff body, her turned head was suddenly turned back by an invisible force. She could no longer maintain her stubborn expression, her mouth was slightly opened and she kept swallowing, staring closely at the chicken drumstick in Cheng Rang's hand. The way she hesitates to speak makes anyone want to love her.

Of course Cheng Rang noticed her change. He smiled and took out the third drumstick, stretched out his hand to pinch it, and slowly swayed it in front of the two children, and their eyes followed the drumstick swaying in front of them. , the petite nose is also twitching greedily.

At this moment, a whisper that seemed to come from delicious food began to echo in her ears——

"Want to eat? Just tell me your name, and this fragrant fried chicken leg will be yours~~"

"Uh...wu..."

The little girl's biting lower lip began to tremble, and she was obviously in a complete struggle inside. Her big red eyes were filled with water, and it seemed that she would shed tears of grievance in the next second.

...

Cheng Rang, I have to say, you are really good at being a devil sometimes.

Chapter 3 The Insurmountable Barrier

Looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, Cheng Rang knew that he was almost successful. As long as he could learn the other person's name and take the first step, the topics he could talk about would suddenly be expanded.

But what the girl did next was completely beyond Cheng Rang's expectation.

She backed away suddenly as if she was frightened by the chicken drumsticks that were so close in front of her and exuded the alluring fragrance. She once again widened the distance between the two people as far as possible, and by the way, she also pulled Lina beside her.

The scarlet eyes became brighter in the dim environment, and even changed from vigilance at the beginning to hostility.

"I changed my mind..." The girl's eyes completely moved away from the drumstick Cheng Rang was holding, and she said coldly: "Get out, now."

.....Huh?

Cheng Rang, who even suspected that he had made a mistake, suddenly looked confused.

I just used food to seduce him, wanting to ask the other person's name so that we could communicate further, and at the same time let the miserable-looking children have a good meal. Why did it make them seem to hate me even more?

Ignoring the warning, Cheng Rang, who was in a daze, seemed to make the girl unbearable. She shouted again: "Get out! I will only say it for the last time!"

Lina's hands tightened on the girl's skirt and her lips moved, but in the end Lina couldn't say anything.

Cheng Rang noticed that the girl standing in front of Lina was shaking slightly. Was she afraid? Or is it anger? Maybe a little bit of both...

What have they experienced in this world?

Thousands of questions were swirling in his mind, but the feeling of being unable to be answered made Cheng Rang very unhappy.

The nerves of the girls in front of him have obviously been stretched to the limit. If he does anything that is not acceptable to them, it may lead to an irreversible result.

It was too late to summon a weapon and use the judgment of Secret Slash to obtain the opponent's name. He regretted not detecting the opponent's name from the beginning.

【Cursed Child】....

What kind of irreconcilable contradiction does it have with human beings?

"Get out!!"

Amid the girl's last scream of warning, Cheng Rang slowly put down the food in his hands, opened his hands to her to show that he was not hostile, and then slowly retreated towards the passage from which he came.

"Take away all your poisoned food and don't let me see you again!"

Um? Poison?

Cheng Rang captured the gist of the girl's words. He continued to show his palms in the girl's field of vision to let her know that he would not mess around. Then he said: "Poison? I don't understand what you are talking about... ..I have eaten a lot of these foods myself, how could it be poisoned..."

snap...

Before Cheng Rang finished speaking, the girl kicked the third fried chicken leg in front of Cheng Rang.

The originally golden and crispy fried chicken legs, after rolling a few times in the dark green mud remaining in the sewer, were stained with a layer of who-knows-what bezoar and dog treasure, and it was completely unappetizing.

"If it's not poisoned, then eat this too."

"..."

Cheng Rang stared at the chicken legs in front of him that had become "Iraq battle damaged", and the corners of his eyes began to beat uncontrollably.

——Are you kidding me, sister?

This thing that was not poisonous in the first place must have been enchanted with poison after rolling around in the obviously wrong-colored mud! How can I keep eating? Hey!

"this...."

"If you don't want to eat, get out."

Cheng Rang was about to explain something when he was interrupted by the girl. Her intention was already obvious.

Staring at her hostile face, Cheng Rang classified them into a category where they were unable to communicate.
