children.

   Before knowing their identities, Lu Li temporarily called them that.

   Only five of the seven children left. Lu Li asked Anna to remove the rubble and search for the other two children buried.

   Removed the charred roof that was pressing down on the top floor, and there was some movement under the ruins, and a kind of "children" was revealed.

   Its legs were crushed by the collapsed beams and were injured. After Ana rescued it, she limped back to the children, like a beast, her head turned towards Lu Li, feeling his presence, close and afraid.

  The burned waste was removed, the ruins became lower and lower, the heat hiding at the bottom fled, and the dark red charcoal flickered, returning to darkness.

"and many more."

   When he moved away the broken and charred floor, Lu Li called Anna, stepped on the creaking charcoal, walked slowly into the ruins, and took an object from the gap in the floor that was floated by Anna's control.

   This is a pair of burnt glasses with only the frame left, and the scorched black on the frame cannot be erased by brushing the palm of your hand.

   took it back to the street, Lu Li looked at the "children", and they were also looking at Lu Li - the largest silhouette suddenly climbed forward a few steps.

   Lu Li squatted down and placed the glasses on his blurred face without facial features.

   "Your name is Vale."

   But when Lu Li let go, the frame, which was scorched by the fire, could no longer support its original shape, shattered into countless pieces, and landed on the same pitch-black ground.

   "Weier" lowered his head in a daze, as if he was about to make a sound, and everything was lost in the depths of his throat.

   Nearly razing the ruins to the ground, they finally found traces of the last child at the bottom, but only the hard skull was not consumed by the flames.

   "It's time to go back."

   Taking back his gaze towards the ruined Elm Street, Lu Li said.

   There is no need for Anna to take it away by force, the "children" who follow instinct spontaneously follow Lu Li.

  Anna wanted to bring them back to the top of the cliff as soon as possible, but once the power was exerted on the "children", they would wave their sturdy claws in panic and struggle in the air.

   So he could only hold Lu Li at a jogging speed while allowing them to keep up.

   Don't worry about losing or leaving, the depressing atmosphere of the elm forest makes them automatically follow Lu Li, who will make them feel safe and comfortable, and Lu Li is also watching them. But until approaching the top of the cliff, Lu Li could only identify the other two children besides Wei Er from their bodies: the second tallest little Jimmy and the youngest girl.

   Lying on the ground, it's not even as high as Lu Li's calf, like a...

   Back at the top of the cliff, Jimmy in front of the wooden house was playing with the hand-cranked radio with the thick sharp claws of the monster's body.

   "Where's Remy?"

  Ana did not see Remi on the top of the cliff.

   "Deal with that...food. Can't eat that much...keep some fresh." Jimmy replied weakly. "These monsters...what's going on?"

   "The new resident of the forest, Anna." Lu Li replied, tilted his head and said, "Go and call Remy over."

  Anna put Lu Li back on the reclining chair and floated towards the cave.

   "You are a good person." Jimmy said coherently, dragging the radio with his paws to Lu Li. "Help me turn... the clockwork."

  Lu Li slowly raised his hand and slowly twisted the clockwork, like two patients communicating their illnesses.

   "Can't I do this kind of thing?"

   A helpless voice rang behind her. Remi took the radio in her brother's hand, wound it up and handed it back. She looked at Lu Li, and then at the dwarfed little monsters not far away.

   "Call me because of them?"

   Lu Li asked, "Can you find a way to communicate with them?"

   "It's a little difficult..." Remy frowned, briefly feeling them in Remy's eyes: "Now they are similar to beasts, I can't feel conscious existence."

"what are they?"

   "It's not a family member, it's simply infected into weirdness. It's like the human pus in the port a few days ago." Remy replied, a little puzzled why Lu Li went to see the children and brought back a group of weirdos. Noticing their short stature, Remy suddenly said, "Are they... children?"

   "Well." Lu Li nodded and continued to ask, "Do they need to eat?"

   "We have to try it first. At noon, my brother and I will go to the edge of the city to try our luck. If we find a weak and strange creature, we will bring the body back to deal with it."

   "You can try it with a can."

   "That's too extravagant - well, I hope the little ones don't have too much appetite." Remy nodded and went back to the cave to get the canned pork stored in the cellar.

   Opening one, Remy approached the "children". They were still terrified of existences other than Lu Li, and the voices in their throats retreated.

  Remi had to put down the can and returned to Lu Li.

   The "children" gathered again, attracted by the fragrance. "Weier" bowed his head and took a few bites, then retreated as if he was full, and let his companions come forward to eat.

   After taking turns to eat, there is still a small half can of soup meat in the can.

   "I eat very little."

   said Jimmy, who was tuning the noisy radio. Tweaked many frequencies to just screeching noise. He was not discouraged, and continued to debug slowly.

   "They are not full, they are just... pushing." Remi's eyes gradually became gentle, and her eyes fell on Lu Li: "The last half of the can is for you."

   "Open a few more cans." Lu Li said.

   Adequate food can make them feel free.

  Remy did as she did and opened four more cans.

   The "children" stopped pushing and gathered to lick the food in front of the can.

   They eat very quickly, and if it weren't for the narrow mouth of the jar restricting their fangs, these few bites could be eaten by them.

  Slightly relieved, the "children" have similar appetites as those of ordinary people, and the youngest can't even finish half a box of canned food.

   Even so, the canned food stored by Lu Li and the 25 boxes of canned food bought from the merchant were not enough to last for a month.

   "Actually I don't recommend them eating human food."

  Remi told Lu Li at this time: "One of the ways that Weird wants to grow is to eat the same kind of body to obtain energy. For example, my brother, pure human food is not enough for him to survive... Except for human beings themselves."

  Humanity is the second growth path.

  Lu Li didn't reject Remy's proposal and said, "Can I leave them to you to take care of them?"

   "Of course, but you want to..." Remi guessed Lu Li's thoughts.

   "I intend to keep them in the forest."

  Remi pondered and said, "Well...you can place them at the entrance to the top of the cliff, and build a log cabin there, which won't be too far from us."

   There is still a lot of open space at the top of the cliff, but it may make it too conspicuous. And Remy wanted the "children" to guard the clifftop entrance, which would make Lu Li safer.

  Lu Li has no opinion: "Pay attention to those trees."

"I know."
