The Female Supporting Character in Quick Transmigration is Making a Comeback

Chapter 343 The Female Supporting Character in the Apocalypse Clings to the Nation's Thigh (9)

A woman standing nearby, with several black quilts on the table, scoffed, "Pah, old man Lin, in this apocalypse, gold and silver are worthless. I saw you picking them out of the garbage dump. Are they even worth a biscuit?"

After laughing at the old man, she turned to their customers and said, "Miss, I only need a piece of bread for a quilt. The weather is unpredictable right now, and a quilt can at least keep you warm. Those gold and silver jewelry can't be eaten, nor can they keep you warm."

The older sister was telling the truth, and the other shopkeepers around her agreed.

Unable to resist Li Xian'er's genuine fondness, she made an excuse: "Grandpa, I really like these too, but as this lady said, they're neither edible nor good for keeping warm. How about this, you take these and help me deliver them to my lodgings, and I'll give you half a biscuit, okay?"

The old man had been dejected, thinking there was no chance, but now that he heard he could get half a biscuit in return, he had no reason to disagree. He rolled his head to the east and said happily, "Okay, I'll take these to you right now."

The old man looked thin, but he was surprisingly strong. This bag of things weighed at least a hundred pounds, but he carried it like cotton.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Li Xian'er took out the bag of instant noodles mixed with mud: "Grandpa, here you go. There were a lot of people earlier, so I needed to get this out. I really like these things, so you can keep these instant noodles."

Upon hearing about instant noodles, the old man handed the package to He Dongdong next to him, took the bag from Li Xian'er, and opened it. Although the instant noodles were mixed with dirt, there were actually more than a dozen noodle cakes inside. If he saved them, they could last for several days.

The old man was so happy he could hardly open his eyes, his hands gripping the bag tightly, saying, "This is too much."

"Sir, if you have any more of these things in the future, I'll still be at this base for a while. Just send them over when you need them, and I'll replace them."

"Alright, I'll go look again!" Even the old man himself probably didn't expect that what he had picked up just to try his luck would be able to be exchanged for food, which was quite an unexpected surprise.

As the old man carefully carried the bag away, Li Xian'er no longer had any intention of exchanging the items. The market had a wide variety of goods, but 90% of the items on the stalls were already extremely old.

There's also 10% of things that she doesn't need.

Li Xian'er and her group strolled around the streets. Apart from the stalls where there were many people, there weren't many people in other places, and the people walking on the streets were mostly men.

After walking for a while, I got bored and decided to go back to the dormitory. There would be a special abilities group meeting at the base in the afternoon.

As they were walking, a dark, shadowy thing suddenly rushed out from the side, knelt down in front of them with a "thud," and grabbed Li Xian'er's trouser leg.

Shining Armor grabbed the object and lifted it up. Upon closer inspection, it was a small child, about six years old. The child was struggling and weakly calling out, "Let me go, let me go."

Shining Armor carefully put him down, and he ran to Li Xian'er and knelt down with a "thud," pleading, "Sister, please give me some food."

His face was dark, except for his clear black and white eyes; all his other features were dark as well.

Li Xian'er squatted down: "Little child, if you want food, I can give it to you, but you have to tell me where your parents are."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears streamed down the child's face: "Sister, there are no adults in my family. Before, an uncle gave us food when he was on a mission. But recently, my older brother was injured and is currently unconscious. I want to ask for some food for the uncle."

The child was crying so pitifully that Li Xian'er felt a pang of pity. Rationally, she should have remained heartless, but in practice, she went astray.

"Fine," she sighed softly, "then take us to see it!"

If the child was lying, she didn't believe that three superhumans couldn't handle the situation.

Seeing that Li Xian'er had agreed, the child wiped away his tears, got up, and led them forward.

The child had seen the three of them since they arrived at the market. He noticed that they were dressed cleanly and had healthy skin, so he assumed they had plenty of food.

He watched Li Xian'er make a deal with the old man at the stall and thought that this older sister would be more soft-hearted, so he thought he would give it a try. Unexpectedly, she actually agreed.

He'd do anything to save his uncle.

The child led them through one alley after another, finally stopping in front of a thatched house. It was indeed just thatched, with a layer of tattered cloth covering the outside.

Pushing open the door of the thatched hut, a stench assaulted my senses. A person lay on the ground, life or death unknown, with two children sitting beside them, both filthy.

Shining Armor first crouched down, took out gloves and put them on, then carefully examined the body of the person on the ground.

Malnutrition, internal organ injury, suppurating wound on the leg, and currently has a high fever.

If the fever doesn't break soon, I'm afraid I'm going to die.

Having learned of the situation, Li Xian'er took out water and fever reducers from her bag (actually her spatial storage).

He Dongdong readily accepted the task. He greatly admired the man, who was raising a child with no relatives in this apocalyptic world alone, trying to survive. This was something that not everyone could do.

He pried open the man's mouth, threw the medicine into it, and then poured spiritual water down his throat. After doing all this, he glanced at the man's wrist and saw the familiar scar.

He Dongdong couldn't believe it. This mark was only on the hands of their previous team leader. He was injured during a mission, and after he recovered, he was left with a cross-shaped scar.

He Dongdong frantically ripped off the beard on his face, and looking at those familiar features, it really was his captain.

His eyes were red as he looked at Li Xian'er pleadingly: "Xian'er, this is my captain before the apocalypse. I beg you, please save him!"

He thought the person was long dead, but unexpectedly, he appeared in front of him in this way.

He Dongdong could no longer control himself; he knew that Li Xian'er could definitely save the captain's life.

"Dong-ge, don't worry, I've already given him fever-reducing medicine. Let's leave here first and go to the dormitory."

Since he is He Dongdong's captain, he must be a soldier, and no matter what, she will definitely save this person.

He Dongdong picked him up and led the way out of the thatched hut. Li Xian'er bent down and smiled gently: "Little friend, that older brother was your uncle's friend. Now we're taking him away from here to get his injuries treated. You'll come with us too, okay?"

The fear and worry in the child's eyes hadn't faded, but he eventually nodded in agreement.

He Dongdong carried the person in front, Shanyaojia looked after them from the side, and Li Xian'er led the three children at the back.

Back in the dormitory, He Dongdong didn't care that the man was dirty and put him on his bed.

Li Xian'er took out medicine for treating injuries, as well as the "life-saving pill" she had taken from Xiao Ba, and several bottles of porridge, and the medicine for treating injuries shone brightly.

She had planned to take the child to the room to clean up, but the child wouldn't leave no matter how much she tried to persuade him, insisting on waiting for the man to wake up.
