Did you do this?

On the morning of April 6th, when Tom woke up, he unexpectedly found that he had become smaller. At that time, he was living in a rental building, which was one of the urban villages in Morikawa City.

The earliest Morikawa City was just a small town, which rapidly flourished due to policy reasons. In just a few decades, it expanded and incorporated the surrounding villages into the urban area. Some of these villages have become urban villages due to their dominance or uniqueness, retaining their original boundaries.

Narrowly speaking, urban villages refer to the residential areas that rural villages have evolved into due to the requisition of all or most of their arable land during the process of urbanization, where farmers still reside in their original villages after becoming residents. They are also known as "urban villages".

The small village in the lower reaches of the Lujiang River is called Jiangxia Village, which is the location of Tom's rental building.

After half a year, Tom woke up from the miniature disaster, evaded the attacks of mice and cockroaches, and finally escaped from Jiangxia Village, entering the shelter of Haiwei Mini Industry. Because birds and insects occupied the airspace, the aircraft in the shelter no longer dared to take off easily, so Tom was unable to return here through the long journey on the ground in the hope of evacuating the survivors of the old medical camp.

I just didn't expect a Jinrui Hotel mission, but by chance, he led Shen Jiayi back to Jiangxia Village.

Tom was quite familiar with Jiangxia Village and quickly determined his location. Confirmed Shen Jiayi's judgment, this is indeed Jiangxia Village.

Jiangxia Village is not very large, but it is only relatively small for humans before the disaster. For Tom at present, it would be relatively far to go to the old street without transportation.

He trekked with Shen Jiayi for a day, bypassing two garbage dumps, and finally arrived at a restaurant before dark.

Just here, they were attacked by two wild dogs.

Unlike a pug, these are two real country dogs, tall in stature and with a fierce gaze.

Of course, fortunately, they have not mutated. However, even so, Tom's advantages in physique, speed, and strength have put him in a crisis.

After successfully stabbing a wild dog in the eye and startling it away, Tom, who landed on the ground, was held in his mouth by another wild dog.

Throughout the process, Shen Jiayi could only hide on one side, relying solely on Tom to attract hatred and make the wild dog lose energy to pay attention to her.

Seeing Tom being held in her mouth, Shen Jiayi finally realized her innocence. She ran out in grief and anger, holding the assault rifle Tom gave her and shooting hard, trying to attract the attention of the wild dog and let go of Tom.

Just this wild dog is not foolish, it chewed Tom twice before swallowing him.

"No! Tom, no!" Shen Jiayi felt a whirlwind for the first time. With a detached attitude, she always felt that she wouldn't move her emotions, even if someone loyal to her special investigation department died in front of her, her heart wouldn't stir waves.

At this moment, looking at the wild dog that had swallowed Tom, she shot out the magazine of the assault rifle and sat helplessly on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Remembering his first meeting with Tom, he gave up the treatment of the first batch of evacuees because the aircraft could not evacuate everyone at once; Remembering Tom being framed by Yuan Feixing and wanted throughout the city, but rushing forward recklessly upon hearing that he had been attacked; Remembering how he acted recklessly after they fell into the bar, yet he paid without complaint, she realized for the first time that she regretted it.

If it weren't for her wholehearted desire to go to the Weilang New Area and avoid the survival responsibility of the 100000 people in the shelter, she had chosen to activate the positioning crystal from the beginning, so they wouldn't have encountered such danger. And when Tom faced the wild dog, at least he would have had the support of soldiers and stronger male ant armor, so he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"You once told me not to beg for mercy from anyone." Shen Jiayi took out the golden rabbit ornament hanging on her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks and splashing a little on it. There were no wild dogs in her eyes, and she didn't care when the wild dogs would eat her. All she had was regret.

"But now... I want to beg God for mercy and let me go back to before... At least I won't be impulsive anymore... I no longer hope to find you, fly away with you, and stay away from the responsibility of those 100000 people."

At this moment, the wild dog was very satisfied. It was not in a hurry to attack Shen Jiayi, because it understood that the weak human in front of it had no ability to escape or resist. It looked at it with great interest, even lying down.

"What should I do?" Shen Jiayi activated her abilities, her thinking speed instantly improved, and her emotions entered a state of ruthless indifference, carefully examining the current situation.

"Tom is dead, I only have flesh and blood... no attack ability." Her mind ran around for a round, and she restrained her powers because she understood that at this moment, she could not fight against a half meter tall country dog.

The pastoral dog finally became impatient. It stood up and walked up to Shen Jiayi, but just as it was about to bite, it suddenly let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground. Then it began to struggle uncontrollably, leaving Shen Jiayi confused.

She watched the pastoral dog rolling on the ground with a blank expression, and after a while, the dog fell to the ground, with its belly stopping to rise and fall.

"Tom, is that you, Tom!" Shen Jiayi quickly ran to the dog's belly and shouted desperately, pounding it.

After a while, the dog's stomach twitched, and then a knife pierced out from its abdomen, pulling and cutting open the opening. A large amount of blood flowed out, and then a blood man emerged.

The bloody man was Tom, who stumbled out and looked at Shen Jiayi. In a weak voice, he said, "You're okay... then..." Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed.

Shen Jiayi saw this and quickly went up to help, but Tom, who was covered in iron armor, was too heavy and immediately crushed her to the ground.

The bloody smell surrounded Shen Jiayi, but she didn't feel nauseous. Instead, she felt relaxed and said, "Tom... Tom... you're still alive, that's really great..."

Just Tom didn't move, she checked and found out that he had fainted.

Shen Jiayi put in a lot of effort and finally got out of this iron man. Seeing that she couldn't wake him up, she could only lie helplessly beside him, lying quietly, hoping that he would wake up.

During this time, she thought a lot about how to survive, how to find that person, the boy who once rescued her from human traffickers and quietly left when the rescue at home arrived.

For so many years, she mobilized so many resources just to find him. Finally, her good friend Zhao Manqing received news, but a mini disaster occurred.

She wanted to find him because for so many years, it was he who encouraged her to survive the cold family competition and become the child that her father valued the most.

She doesn't want anything to inherit the family business, she just wants to escape this kind of life.

However, a mini disaster occurred, and overnight, she became a pillar in a shelter for tens of thousands of people. For this responsibility, she put in a lot of effort and even awakened her abilities, improving her thinking ability. Compared to before, she felt even colder and more ruthless as she activated her abilities. She was afraid that if she continued, she would completely turn into a computer and only consider gains and losses, calculating profits as a tool person.

She wants to escape this life and abandon the responsibility of those 100000 people, so she wants to find him and go with him.

However, she didn't know where he was, not even his name, and even his appearance was blurred.

From Zhao Manqing's notes in her room, she obtained a clue. Zhao Manqing investigated that the person may be working at a company in the new corridor area, which is why she wanted to go there and find him.

However, looking back, she realized that she was really naive.

Leaving the armed forces, I couldn't even deal with an ant myself.

Relying solely on Tom will not protect her from reaching the destination, but rather drag Tom down.

Touching Tom's face, she took a deep breath, activated her abilities, increased her thinking speed, and quickly calculated the next path to take.

Time passed little by little, the sky was dim, and night came. However, Tom still did not wake up. She won't consider leaving on her own, and if she wants to drag Tom away, she can only wait like that.

Watching Tom like this for half an hour, she found that Tom had a fever too.

Looking back, Tom has been engaged in high-intensity combat for a week since his mission. After finally receiving support, I dragged him on to continue fighting. Finally calmed down, he was ambushed and taken away by a crow because he insisted on personally investigating Zhao Manqing's room. He followed without saying a word and took care of himself without any regrets along the way.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayi felt a little guilty. She ran to get some paper and wooden strips, found the igniter on Tom's body to light the campfire, found bottled mineral water in the kitchen of the restaurant, and found leftover cold particles in the metal box hanging from Tom's armor. She found a way to get them and feed Tom to drink.

In terms of food, she searched around but couldn't find anything to eat. It was too high and she couldn't get up. Looking at the dead dog next to her, she gave up and could only lie down next to Tom again, looking at the man's face.

This is a man who tirelessly strives for survival. He keeps his promises, values loyalty, and is fearless and not afraid of sacrifice. From the mouths of people like number 5, his evaluations were all positive, as if he were a noble saint. But the practicality oriented style also gives him a secular atmosphere.

Thinking about it, Shen Jiayi washed the bloodstains on his face with clean water, and through the flickering flames, Tom's face suddenly became unfamiliar yet familiar.

"I won't bow down and give up to anyone. If you want to survive, don't give up." Shen Jiayi remembered this sentence and immediately took out the pendant from her chest, a cute rabbit head made entirely of gold. This was what the boy who saved her when she was a child said to her.

This unyielding belief supports her to go further today under the pressure of her father and the covetousness of her brothers and sisters. He is the belief in her heart and also the harbor of her soul. After finally getting the news that he was in this city, she spared no effort to find him.

Now the gold pendant was given to her by Zhao Xitong. She didn't like the man, but it was obviously made of metal, and its reduction was almost the same as that given to her by the boy.

"Why didn't I think of it?" Shen Jiayi was shocked like a bolt from the blue.

Tom is one of the 13 awakeners in the entire shelter who possess metal shaping ability.

Since she first saw Tom at the shelter under the river, she had an inexplicable fondness for him. She twice pushed the person from the special investigation department to save him, thinking it was because she had impressed him with his spirit of prioritizing others, but she did not notice that this face had an inexplicable similarity to the boy who saved her when she was a child.

She quickly recalled various information about Tom, separated from her sister in childhood, and wandered to Morikawa City.

Wandering?

Tom's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly before slowly opening them.

She happily pulled open her suit, held up the golden rabbit head pendant, and excitedly asked, "Did you... make this?"

Her heart was pounding, and she could hear it clearly. She was looking forward to his answer.
