"Eh? Uh...can Santiago come in?"
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "Of course, I took your bread, can I still kick you out? Come on, there's something delicious."
"Who knows..." Little Santiago muttered to himself, and followed him. "Why would you go out to look for something delicious when there's already something to eat?"
“Because I can’t eat this.”
"Hmm? Is it also hard? Can't I just boil it?"
Su Xin first started a fire with a lighter she found in the convenience store, then waved for little Santiago to come over to warm himself, and then took out a can of gasoline from her pocket.
"This is for you. Look, it should be... delicious, right?"
Little Santiago took it with his eyes wide open, turned it over and over for a long time, and shook it up and down a few times, "It seems... to be real, how come there are so many?"
"Well... it should be enough for you to eat for three meals, right? Same as bread, so let's exchange." Su Xin broke off one-third of the baguette and threw it into the pot to cook.
Little Santiago didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and handed the jar to Wen Yue, indicating that he would not accept it and that so many should be left for his little sister.
Su Xin was curious, "You gave me the bread, and you don't plan to take the oil. Do you have enough food?"
"Huh? No." Little Santiago laughed confidently, "I don't have any food on me!"
"...Then why are you so polite?"
"I don't have any left, but my good friends still have a little bit left. I'll go eat theirs later!"
The flaw was so obvious that Su Xin didn't have time to think about it. "...I'm so lucky to have a friend like you."
"Hehe... Santiago thinks so too!"
Looking at the smiling child, Su Xin suddenly felt a little ashamed. She reached out and rubbed the child's head, then repeated it sincerely.
"I'm so lucky to have a friend like you..."
Little Santiago's head swayed left and right, his big eyes filled with pure kindness, "Hehe, big sister, you've already said that~"
Su Xin laughed along and asked her, "Who is your good friend? Is he nearby?"
"Yes, yes. We came from far away and walked for a long time to get here. They said they wanted to split up and look for food... Well, I'll go to the gathering soon."
It sounds like little Santiago has more than one friend. Su Xin is a little curious, but she urgently needs food reserves, so she thinks about exchanging them for oil. After much consideration, she decides to go with him.
"What time do you guys plan to meet? Where is the meeting place? Can I go see your friends?"
"Hmm? It's ok, right? We're scheduled for... 8:30... Ah! I'm... I'm going to be late!"
Su Xin was stunned, and followed Santiago's gaze to look at the digital watch on his wrist, [08:24].
"Is it far from here?"
Little Santiago shook his head, his braids jumping up and down. "At... uh, the intersection!"
Su Xin had no impression of this, so she simply turned off the fire, stood up, took out the half-dry bread, took a bite, swallowed it whole, and fed Wen Yue some.
Little Santiago didn't want to eat and was just eager to go out. Su Xin didn't force him and planned to give away the oil resources after meeting his friends.
The three of them walked out of the courtyard and turned to the street on the right. This was the direction that Su Xin had failed to explore in the morning. Thinking about it this way, it made sense that she had no impression of the [crossroads].
When little Santiago said it was not far, it seemed that he was describing it from the perspective of the ship girl. After there was one more human in the team, the speed slowed down a lot, and they were ten minutes late.
The two people standing in the middle of the intersection looked up when they heard the voice. One was tall and the other was short. Both had twin ponytails, but the colors were different, one was transparent blue and the other was light brown.
"Santiago! You're late!" The blue-haired kid complained angrily, holding Santiago's hand and quickly hiding behind the tall brown-haired woman, "Who...who are they?"
Little Santiago smiled innocently, "It's the beautiful big sister and the crying little sister!
Wen Yue retorted weakly, "I...I don't like to cry..."
Su Xin touched her head and exchanged glances with the timid blue-haired girl. "Helena? Who is this...?"
Little Helena was very surprised but didn't dare to talk to the stranger. She held little Santiago's hand to prevent her from running away and pulled the brown-haired woman's clothes.
The mature woman with half her breasts exposed tilted her head and answered in a childish voice that was totally inconsistent with her image.
"Is it... Anke... Reiqi... yo?"

Chapter 636 Small Life
"So you two have known each other for a long time?"
Su Xin held Wen Yue in her arms, looked at the two little ones sitting on the chair, and then looked at the mature woman whose breasts were bigger than hers, "Anchorage, too?"
Little Santiago took a sip of hot water and sighed like he was drinking a Coke. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Um... No, I'm teaming up with Helena first!"
"...It was clearly just a coincidence." Little Helena blew on the rim of the bowl and exposed it mercilessly.
Little Santiago was not convinced. He jumped off the chair and approached Little Helena to ask for an explanation. "It was Santiago who was smart. He dug you out when you were almost starving to death!"
"This is God-um, how do you say it? Oh, it's God's will~ Because of God's will, Santiago can find you and become good friends with you!"
Little Helena sighed in a proper manner, with a tolerant attitude as if she didn't want to argue too much with the fool, but her hands were determined. She put down the bowl, pulled the person over, and re-braided her hair.
"I know, I know... Why do you always mess up your braids? Why do you always ask me to fix them for you..."
"Hehe... We are good friends~" Little Santiago shook his head restlessly, and was patted by the other party, "Ah, stop patting me!"
"Well, you're not that smart, are you?" After tidying yourself up, little Helena pushed the man away and continued to hold the bowl to warm her hands.
Su Xin found their interaction quite interesting. She then glanced at Anchorage, who was sitting quietly at the side and had not spoken a word since the moment he entered the door.
"What about... Miss Anchorage?"
When Anchorage heard someone calling her, she tilted her head and looked at Su Xin for a while, then gave a kind and gentle smile.
Su Xin also smiled back, but secretly felt strange. She had just heard the other party's self-introduction, which showed that Anchorage must be able to speak.
"Could it be... a ship girl who is the type to lift her up high?"
Before she could use her imagination, the talkative little Santiago acted as the narrator, "Anchorage? I don't know where she's from."
"I fainted from hunger before, and Helena carried me for a long distance. Later we met Anchorage, and she gave us a lot of oil."
"She was so kind, beautiful, reliable, and gave us food... so the three of us became good friends!"
"She said she didn't know where to go, so I told her to follow the magical Santiago." The little girl stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, very proud, "Hehe...it was indeed a wise choice!"
Little Helena sighed again and continued to spoil the show, "Thanks to the oil in Anchorage, otherwise this fool and I might have starved to death on the road..."
"Hey, it's God's will that we can get this far! Anchorage must be an angel. Look at her, the circle on her head is still spinning!"
Following Little Santiago's words, Su Xin turned her attention to the ship equipment floating above Anchorage's head. Several feather-like metal rings formed a large circle and rotated at a very slow speed.
Perhaps he didn't understand why he was being watched, Anchorage looked left and right, smiled, but clenched his hands on his legs.
Su Xin noticed the other party's nervousness, so she looked away first, thought for a moment, and began to ask, "Well... after Santiago's explanation, I found out."
"Santiago is a positive and optimistic child. He is very kind to his friends and is like a little sun. He is willing to share his food with me. Thank you so much."
"Hey, hey, these are what Santiago should do~" The little guy scratched his head and smiled.
Su Xin added: "Helena is a very pretty and lovely child. She can help Santiago tie his hair, which means she is very skillful. Can you teach me next time? I am not very good at tying hair..."
Little Helena was suddenly praised, her face flushed and she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed softly.
"Well...what about Anchorage? I know she's gentle and kind, and has a nice voice, but the rest...I don't know much about her..."
Little Santiago raised his hand and answered: "I know, I know! Anchorage is also very cute. She likes to play hide-and-seek, but I can easily catch her every time!"
"...That's probably because of that circle." Little Helena seemed to be more mature than her age.
Anchorage raised her hand and touched the ring, smiling good-naturedly. Su Xin thought that she still couldn't hear her this time, but she didn't expect that the other party's exposed belly made a sound before her mouth.
"Gugu~~~"
... "
"..."
Anchorage reached out and poked his soft belly button, "...I'm...hungry..."
“Hahahahahahahaha—ouch!”
Little Helena withdrew her hand from patting little Santiago's head, took out a small can of oil from the space, looked at Su Xin with a slight vigilance, and then handed the can over.
Anchorage took it, opened the can with a click, and drank it in two or three gulps. When little Helena wiped the corners of her mouth, she smiled softly at him.
Su Xin watched for a while and felt that this strange heavy cruiser with a great figure... didn't seem to be very intelligent...
"...Speaking of which, there is something I don't quite understand."
She turned to the innocent little Santiago and asked, "Anchorage is about the same height as me, and looks about the same age, so shouldn't you call her sister?"
Little Santiago retracted his torn mouth and thought for a long time before he figured out a reason.
"Um...because we're friends?"
Seeing that Su Xin didn't quite understand, little Santiago racked his brains to explain, "Um... it's just that... it feels like he's about the same age as us? When we're together, he's also... very cute?"
Little Helena quietly kicked her talkative friend, fearing that he would reveal all his family assets. But the guy just kept whining and didn't know what was going on.
Su Xin sighed secretly, and didn't plan to beat around the bush any more, so she just asked directly: "Where are you going next?"
"I don't know." Little Santiago replied, "We are almost finished with our food, so we are looking for a place to eat!"
Little Helena was so annoyed by her stupid teammates that she thought it would be better for her to tell the story herself instead of letting the idiot reveal it, so she sat down and explained in a low voice.
"It's like this. We... didn't know where to go from the beginning. After we met Anchorage, she gave us the oil."
"Every time Santiago said she was hungry, Anchorage would give her a lot. Later, I felt that this was not working, so I collected the oil and distributed it according to the quantity."
"...Actually, we are out of stock, so don't even think about taking advantage of us. We have nothing to give you!"
When he heard that there was no food, little Santiago, who had never been hungry since he met Anchorage, opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Anchorage understood what he heard, and lowered his eyes to blame himself, "It's all my fault... I'm always hungry..."
Little Helena shook her head and tried to explain, but little Santiago beat her to the punch and said, "You gave me the oil. You should blame me... I was too greedy..."
Su Xin looked at the leafless tree in the yard, then rubbed Wen Yue's head in her arms and asked her to take out the "murder weapon" that still had the tooth marks on it.
"Well... Actually, I received help from Santiago." She waved the baguette, creating gusts of wind. "Since you have nowhere to go... Why don't you stay here?"
Wen Yue, who had no playmate, had her eyes brightened. The two small light cruisers had mixed feelings. Only Anchorage, as always, tilted its head and looked at her with a very focused gaze.
Su Xin got up and went to the firewood room next door, took out a large pile of oil, and filled twenty or so cans with the looted cardboard boxes, then staggered back carrying them.
"Actually...I can still afford to support you."

Chapter 637 Busy Courtyard Life (2 in 1
As for the origin of this batch of oil, the three children and one adult did not ask in detail.
The innocent little Santiago jumped directly onto the box. Wen Yue was relatively well-behaved. Anchorage silently pinched her belly.
Only little Helena was a little reserved, but the joy on her face was still obvious.
Su Xin could understand. She was almost starving here, and as a mentally immature ship girl, if she was of no use in a short period of time, her fate would naturally not be good.
All resources were concentrated on the ship girls who could quickly become stronger in order to resist [Black Shadow], and it was common for others to starve and freeze.
If it were her, after eating a fixed amount of food and being half-starved for a long time, she would know that she had no more food. When she suddenly got a big box of fruits and vegetables, she would be overjoyed, right?
Little Helena is really smart. After a while of being happy, she started to feel strange, but was fooled by Su Xin with the excuse that she had saved up the money for more than ten years.
Anyway, they don't have anything worth being deceived by others. Besides, if someone is willing to accept them, then this aimless journey will come to an end.
"But...what should I call you?" Little Helena reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the jar, and her question sounded more sincere.
Su Xin didn't hesitate. "Just like Wen Yue, call me sister, right?"
"Wow...thank you, sister! These are enough for us to eat for a long, long time!" Little Santiago smiled innocently, showing his white teeth.
Little Helena was more stable, her face slightly red as she whispered, "Sister...sister...um, thank you..."
Su Xin sighed and smiled, she was looking forward to her life in another world, but also felt sad for the easy-to-coax children. But in the end... she was happy.
