The ground was scorched black from the recent positioning bombs. Small areas were charred in clusters, faintly tinged with spots of blood red.
While seeing the children at Shi Xujing’s place had been heart-wrenching, this scene was even more heartbreaking, with dozens of children huddled together in a small cage.
Although the gaps in the cage were quite large, allowing them to easily slip out, it seemed as if the area around the cage was surrounded by electric mesh, leaving many openings.
Even when people were pressed together in the center, they were unwilling to squeeze towards the edges of the cage, creating a small vacuum-sealed space.
The corners of the cage were scorched, indicating that someone had been overseeing them.
Xi Yu approached and tentatively touched the cage, realizing it was just a simple wooden cage, nothing special about it.
“Come out! You’re rescued now.”
Little faces and deer-like eyes filled with panic stared back at her. Even though Xi Yu said this, no one dared to step out of the vacuum zone. They were all trembling as if they recalled something terrifying.
— What kind of hell on earth is this?
— Didn’t they say the streamer’s style was every day life?
— I’m crying to death. This supposedly daily style is a bit too heavy.
— This really looks so heavy! My heart feels stuffy that it’s suffocating me. I really want to close the live stream, but I can’t help but think… thinking of all those faces, those eyes filled with despair.
…
“You really have been rescued. You can come out now. Look, the guards watching you have been blown up by the bombs. You can truly come out.”
Xi Yu tried to emphasize this again, but still no one stepped forward.
Xi Yu looked at Little Qiqi beside her. It should easier for people of the same age to communicate, right?
“Little Qiqi, you come.”
Little Qiqi nodded casually and then turned to step into the cage.
Standing in the so-called vacuum zone, everyone’s expressions turned terrified again at that moment, their mouths opened slightly before closing.
They seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
“With such a large space outside, why do you want to cram into such a small place? Is it because it’s more fun here? But why aren’t you playing games?”
Little Qiqi’s innocent words contrasted sharply with the nervousness and speculations of the others.
“Really, you’re not coming out? The world outside is so big! My sister is super powerful!” Little Qiqi patted her own chest in assurance.
“Are you hungry? I still have food here…”
Xi Yu looked at Little Qiqi with burning anticipation.
Xi Qi began to hesitate. Her sister seemed to have said she couldn’t reveal any food outside.
“My sister has a lot of nutrient solutions! I’ll give them to you!”
Xi Yu handed the space ring filled with nutrient solutions to Xi Qi. Xi Qi’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t resist pulling out a high-grade nutrient solution to try.
It had been a long time since she had tasted a high-grade nutrient solution.
Xi Qi couldn’t help but lick it. Her expression was one of having found a treasure, but after taking another bite, her small face instantly wrinkled into a ball.
The disdain on her little face was very obvious.
— Ahhh! Little Qiqi is so cute!
— Ugh, ugh! Seeing that even a foodie show such an expression, I couldn’t help but try it too. Ugh! This experience is just… I probably need a few years to heal from those brief seconds.
