Chapter 8
Aaah
A loud roar, many of them stood on the merchandise table, and began to destroy things.
Rose trembled slightly, and after a long time, the chaos outside became quiet.
Rose sighed, and at the same time, she felt warmth on her thigh. She looked down and saw a little child hugging her thigh.
"Who are you?" Rose said softly. The child looked up. It was quite dark inside because the light bulbs were not working, so only her eyes could be seen in the dim darkness.
Little child: "..."
The small body trembled, her teeth chattered, "Knock-knock-knock". She was probably scared and shocked to see a stranger like Rose. Then, the small body hugged Rose's thigh even tighter.
Rose: "..."
Okay, little child, if you don't talk, don't talk.
Rose was silent. She closed her eyes and listened intently to the sounds outside.
There were a lot of footsteps. They must still be around. Rose was sure that if she went out now, she would definitely be attacked by zombies, so she waited for an opportunity.
Recalling the content of the original novel, it mentioned ordinary zombies. They are very calm at night if they are not stimulated by something. Of course, these are normal zombies. It won't be long before the zombies 'mutate'. At that time, when night falls, the zombies will be even more crazy and dangerous. Rose felt lucky that the mutation had not happened yet, or she would have died in the fitting room.
Rose took out her phone to check, and found that the screen was completely shattered. She didn't know what hit her. She only saw that it was not even noon yet. It should be several hours before nightfall.
Rose just noticed. This little boy must be someone in the main mission that the system had given her!
Right now, Rose had gotten the boy. All that was left was to escape from the department store and return to her room.
"Ahh!" A curse came from outside the fitting room, startling Rose. The cute little boy trembled and curled up into a ball, throwing the food away immediately. She curled up in the corner of the fitting room, shivering like a wild animal that had been abused.
Rose tightened her hand on the frying pan. In case of an emergency, she would break out of the department store whenever she had the chance, even if it meant being killed by zombies.
The fitting room was bumped from time to time. The cute little child's body shook with a sob. Rose felt sorry for her when she saw it, so she knelt on the floor and picked up the body and hugged it in her arms.
"It's okay, it's safe, don't be afraid." Rose said softly, almost whispering. Only the cute little child could hear it. She held the child with one hand and lightly patted the child's back with the other hand. The gesture that Rose used was something she had learned from a series she had watched in the old world, and it worked very well.
The child was calm, but still sobbed without making a sound. So Rose sat down on the floor, holding the child in her arms. The child's thick face was buried in her chest. Her right hand gripped the hem of Rose's shirt tightly, while her left hand hugged Rose.
"Alright, we'll have to stay like this for a while," Rose said before closing her eyes to rest. But who would have thought that she would fall asleep like that? Rose herself didn't expect that she would dare to sleep.
Croak
The sound of her stomach growling because she was hungry didn't come from Rose, but from her small body.
Rose jolted again. She looked around quietly. Before looking down at her embrace that felt heavy and warm
Crack
The sound of a hungry stomach
"Are you hungry?" Rose looked at the child. She thought of the milk and bread in the dimensional ring, so she took it out and handed it to the child immediately.
The child looked up at Rose: "..."
The child did not speak, just reached out and slowly took the milk and bread from Rose's hand.
Rose lifted the child's body and put it on the floor. The child looked at Rose for a moment and started to eat hungrily.
The straw was inserted into the milk box. The child immediately popped the milk into his mouth. Then, he used his small hands to peel off the plastic that wrapped the bread, opened his small mouth, took a bite and chewed.
Although he could see dimly, Rose's eyes soon got used to it and saw a small figure eating deliciously. This kind of posture was really cute. Rose could not help but want to pick up the child and hug him again.
"My god, how could such a cute child be left in the middle of a forest of wombats?" Rose muttered. As a woman from the present world who had traveled through dimensions and was reborn in a novel world. She must protect this cute little child with her life!
The little child quickly finished his milk and bread, then Lakan backed away from Rose and curled up in the corner of the room.
Rose smiled, then shook her head.
