Prologue   If life is just like first seeing ()

War.

War destroyed an era, and war also created a new world.

I don’t know when, the night is no longer completely dark.

Under the night, a deep, dark red luminous light lit up at two o’clock, drifting slowly in the air.

The place covered by the faint light of Yinghuo is full of thick, dark green, and always exuding thick rancid sewage. Even in a corner with almost no light, the sewage will emit a bleak green glow. Illuminated a small area around. Compared with its unbearable filth, lethal radiation is the most dangerous place of these almost ubiquitous sewage.

In the barren water pool where sewage has accumulated, you can’t see the original color of rags, rusty iron cans, and carrion carcasses left behind by unknown animals. All kinds of dirt may float or sink. From time to time, a giant mouse nearly one meter long came out of nowhere, screamed, rushed through the sewage, and disappeared into the darkness. Radiation that is enough to kill a mature horse seems to have no effect on the giant rat. However, occasionally a few pieces of meat will fall off the giant rat’s leather belt. If you look closely, you will find that the meat has long rotted. From this point of view, it seems that giant rats are not completely immune to radiation.

Hong Ying floated up several meters, staying at the top of a slanted steel beam, and scanned the world under the dark night. What is reflected in the two-point red Ying are the buildings with only frames, the houses with half walls collapsed, and the car wrecks scattered everywhere.

The world under the night is full of green fluorescence.

Such a place was called a ruin fifty years ago, but now it is called a city.

The corner of the street not far away suddenly lit up with a dazzling fire, and the crazy and hysterical screams intertwined, and quickly came here.

Ruby was startled, and quickly spread out four transparent wings, vibrating rapidly and flew to a high place. A firelight happened to shine, and a huge beetle more than one meter long could be seen flying away.

The man with the torch was not interested in this beetle, but ran with all his strength in the crowd ahead, roaring like a beast from time to time.

The light of the fire quickly went away, and the giant beetle concealed into the darkness again. Suddenly, a strong wind blew by, and the giant beetle wailed sharply like a needle. The sharp knives did not live on the bricks, the steel bars and sparks. The four wings were also flapping desperately, but they were still being beaten. Slowly dragged into the deep darkness.

The sound of its screams followed by a click of chewing.

In a dark alley, there were sudden rushes of footsteps, and a woman who seemed panicked rushed in. As soon as she entered the alley, she suddenly noticed a figure sitting against the wall.

The man was covered in a black blanket with his head down, and he couldn’t see his face at all. From his thin body, he looked more like an eight or nine-year-old child.

As soon as the woman gritted her teeth, she rushed over in several strides, and squeezed the swaddling she was holding tightly into the man’s arms, and said with a cry: “Please, help her!”

The fluorescent light from the sewage under the wall illuminates the woman’s face. Although the light flickers and dim, it can be seen that it is a very young and beautiful face, only about twenty in appearance, which is rare in this era. The delicate white skin is enough to make most women jealous that they want to slash her face. Her neck was also slender and straight. Starting from the lower jaw, a straight curve drew a nearly perfect arc, extending all the way down, and then suddenly stood upright on the white chest, squeezing out a deep breast-ditch. Women’s shirts are very thin, with only a few hastily fastened buttons on the front of the front button to expose most of the plump breast milk. On the shirt, two attractive bumps can be seen faintly, and there is a small spot of water stains around it. It should be just given to the baby. Breastfeeding.

Just staying for less than a second, and without waiting for the person to answer, the woman suddenly stood up and ran deep into the alley. After running more than ten meters, she suddenly let out a scream that almost pierced her eardrum. In the slightly noisy night, the screams spread far away. The frantic crowd not far away immediately burst into shouts that couldn’t tell whether it was excitement or joy. In less than a minute, the torch illuminated the alley. There were more than a dozen mobs with torn clothes and cruel and excitement on their faces. Rush into the alley, you push me and squeeze, chasing deep into the alley.

A sturdy-looking guy waved a wooden stick with a few big nails in his hands, his arms protruding from the left to the right kept squeezing the person in front of him, chasing and yelling: “Let’s wait I catch that woman, I want to be the first to go to her! Whoever dares to fight with me, I will smash his head!”

Behind him, a thin middle-aged man let out a loud laugh with a volume disproportionate to his size, mockingly said: “Come on, Black Duncan! That woman slept with the devil, who knew she was carrying it? What do you dare to stab her? You are not afraid to do it halfway, and your fellow will rot in her first?”

Black Duncan muttered: “That’s hard to say, I’m more resistant to radiation than you.” It’s just that his voice is obviously hesitating.

He hesitated, and several people immediately burst into laughter, “Black Duncan, you dare to go to the mutant sow, so why are you afraid? Isn’t it because the guy has rotten? But your guy It’s really out of proportion to your body size!”

Black Duncan roared angrily, and roared: “I don’t care! Whoever thinks you are the bigger one will go, anyway, I won’t do it!”

Suddenly someone screamed: “You don’t want me to come! Anyway, my guy is half rotten. It’s worth it if you can make a thin-skinned woman!”

The yelling was a thin old man with only a dirty cloth wrapped around his body, except that he was almost bare. His skinny body was covered with rotting sores, and the top of his head was bare, with only a few strands of pale soft hair. He ran panting all the way, his chest snorted, and he seemed to be pulling a set of old-fashioned bellows. He could barely keep up with the big army, but the black guy at the waist was as short as a stick. The thin iron rod stood abruptly on the belly.

The alley is not long, and a dozen thugs rushed out from the other end in a blink of an eye. After the flickering fire light passed, darkness reigned here. In the eyes of the mob full of violence and eroticism, only the woman’s white skin was shaking, and he didn’t even notice that the shadow on the corner of the wall was a person. In fact, even if the thugs saw him, there would be people waiting to die by lying on the waste water full of radiation like this, and no one would care at all.

Not far from the alley, the yells of the mob suddenly became more and more high-pitched, mixed with a woman’s screams that were not like human voices. After a while, the woman’s screams suddenly sobbed, as if blocked by something, but the mob’s laughter and screams were higher than for a while, finally drowning the woman’s voice completely.

In the dark alley, the figure wrapped in the black felt blanket suddenly moved, and his lowered head slowly lifted up, holding a swaddle from under the blanket, half of his hand was exposed from the edge of the rag, looking at the immature outline Obviously they belonged to underage children, but their skin was icy and radiant, dazzlingly bright, incompatible with the surroundings. In the low-hanging blanket, a dark blue light lit up. It was his eyes, watching the infant in silence.

The baby does not cry or make trouble, and his big blue eyes are looking back at the deep blue light. This is a girl with a small nose straightened and straight, and her skin is as crystal clear as the best cheese. It is not at all like the babies of this age who are affected by radiation and are stained with large black, blue, gray and green skin. The little lips also have a rare knife-like line. All in all, she is very beautiful, especially for a baby who has not been weaned.

He blinked, and the blue light shining on the baby girl’s face also flickered a few times. Finally, he stretched out his hand and opened the tightly wrapped swaddle a little, so that the baby girl could also hear the surrounding sounds, heard the mob’s yelling and breathing, and the occasional violent woman yelling.

The hands are slender, white, and their slender fingers seem to be the night of the night. They bloomed quietly for an instant and then retracted into the blanket.

The baby girl tilted her head slightly, her ears quivered, and gathered all the sounds around her, listening very attentively. Only then did he discover that her ears had two points at the top, which were half longer than ordinary human ears.

The feast of tyranny and fornication in the distance did not last long. With a scream of disappointment, the mob gradually became quiet. Then a fire burst into the sky, and along with the billowing smoke, there was a burst of unpleasant burnt smell. The fire is raging, and occasionally rushes into the air more than ten meters. The light at this time can even disperse the darkness in the alley for a moment.

In the middle of the sewage accumulated in the alley, it is empty, and the child who has always been wrapped in a dark blanket has disappeared.

The sun is rising as usual.

The blazing sun strives to penetrate the thick gray clouds and falls on the black and yellow ground. Occasionally, a strong wind blows away a small gray cloud, allowing the sun to shine through unhindered, and all kinds of strange animals on the ground scatter to find shelter, or simply hide in underground caves to avoid this deadly Strong sunlight. The only thing that is not afraid of the sun is a tall plant with half-meter-long spikes on its pale stems. Whenever the sun shines, it twists the branches, accepts the baptism of strong light as much as possible, and then grows crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dang, bang! The noisy noise broke the tranquility of the morning. An old man in his fifties knocked **** an empty iron pipe stuck in the ground while shouting in a hoarse voice: “Work! Get me up, bastards! Let old Hans see how it is. There are a few lucky guys left!”

There were hundreds of people around immediately jumping from the ground and running towards this side, but at a distance of five meters from the old man, these people stopped automatically, as if there was an invisible boundary there, preventing them from Go one step further. Several people in the crowd were unclear about their situation and were still squeezing forward desperately. Several strong men around immediately cursed: “The new guys are in the back! What are you squeezing?” The few people had not yet reacted, they had already received a few heavy punches in their faces, and they could not help falling to the ground. The people around immediately fisted together, mercilessly. After a while, the brawny men threw a few dying newcomers out of the team, and bitterly spit out some thick sputum.

Old Hans had long been used to seeing these atrocities, but just shrugged indifferently. He wore a completely tarnished leather jacket on his upper body. Inside was a denim shirt with fine dark red plaid. The lower body was a pair of jeans with some engine oil, and a pair of high-waisted military boots were put on his feet. Comparing with the refugees around him who dressed like beggars, Old Hans was a king, and he was indeed as arrogant as a king. On his chest, there is a silver badge pinned to the background of a distant city, with a rumbling tank in the center. In the sunshine, this badge shines and is very eye-catching. Hundreds of eyes fell on the badge from time to time, there was fear, envy, and more of the greed of thin wolves.

Faced with hundreds of wild wolves, Old Hans was not scared at all. He stood behind a table made of welded angle iron, took out a few cans with unclear trademarks from the wooden crate behind him, threw them on the counter, and shouted, “Old rules! One hundred kilograms of ore. For five cents, the price of food is the same as yesterday. It’s cheaper, you bastards. There are even a few cans today, depending on which of you can take! Don’t squeeze, come one by one!”

These people have long known the rules, lined up, and walked to the iron table one by one. Old Hans, like a butcher picking animals, glanced at their physiques, skins and complexions, and casually ordered: “You can, go there and get things to work!” or “You can’t!”

The refugees who got permission immediately jogged to the tool pile next to him, picked up the iron pick, put a basket on the back, and ran to the mine a few hundred meters away, for fear that he would be caught by the old Hans if his movements were a little bit slower. Treat it as an unhelpful person and say that terrible “you can’t do it”. Those who have already had experience walked in a hurry, and looked so familiar as if they were in their own courtyard, knowing that this work takes a whole day, and it would be unwise to waste energy on running.

“Why can’t I!” A muffled growl brought everyone’s gaze back. A strong black man with a height of one meter and a half, who looked like a mountain bear, thumped the iron case hard and roared at the old Hans.

Old Hans took out a clean handkerchief, slowly wiped the saliva sprayed on his face, pointed at the big ulcer on the black man’s chest, and slowly said: “You are sick! If you go down the mine, you will infect all my strong mules. Who will work for me then?”

“I can work! I want to eat, and I have three children to raise!” The black man didn’t listen carefully to what the old Hans was saying, but just kept roaring and thundering the iron case.

Old Hans frowned, straightening out his thick beard, and gesturing behind him. Hearing a bang, the black man’s scream stopped abruptly, and he looked at the big hole in his chest in disbelief, his throat rattled, but he couldn’t speak.

Behind the old Hans, a bald strong man pulled the trigger of the double-barreled shotgun in his hand again, and there was another loud noise. Hundreds of iron sand blasted into the black man’s chest, doubled his wound, and completely Punched through his broad chest. The brawny man wore a badly wrinkled black suit and had several holes. Obviously, he didn’t know how old it was an antique. Behind the old Hans, three such brawny men stood in total.

The old Hans wiped his face and said to the air in front of the iron table: “Also, nigger, your saliva is very stinky!” Seeing his tone of voice, it was as if the black man was still standing at the table.

There are more than one hundred refugees who have not entered the mine. They look at them with less greed and more fear. Several people came over, dragged the black man’s body away, and threw it hundreds of meters away. It won’t be long before the rotten wolves and vultures that smell the blood will eat his corpse cleanly, without leaving a single bone.

The line before the iron case shortened rapidly. Before dawn, most of the refugees had already descended into the mine. Those who were not selected walked towards the town to see if they could get there. Take a chance.

“There are more and more sick mules, this month’s share is a bit awful…” Old Hans muttered, stood up, and stiffened his aching back. He stretched out halfway, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he held the iron case with his hands, leaned forward, looking at the child in front of him who was just a head above the iron case.

The child was wrapped in a blanket that was too dirty to see the original color. The face and hands, as long as the parts were exposed, were wrapped tightly with cloth, only one left eye was exposed. Looking at Hans quietly. The child looked only eight to nine years old, and he didn’t know whether it was a boy or a girl.

Originally, Old Hans would never waste a little effort on such obviously unqualified refugees. He did not run a charity organization. Perhaps he had just seen blood and made his heart a little softer, perhaps because of his lack of labor this month. Perhaps it was the look in the child’s eyes. No matter what, he hesitated and asked: “Do you want to work too?”

The child nodded.

“Okay! But first tell me whether it’s a man or a woman, right?” Old Hans said.

“Man.” The child finally spoke. Compared with children of the same age, his voice is slightly lower, but it has an indescribable magnetic smell.

“Very well, boy, go over there and get the tools. Just like everyone else, you can dig out a hundred kilograms of ore and you can get five cents. This is the best treatment for you. You dress like this, no Could it be something sick? Okay, don’t worry, at least you don’t have a smell on your body. Old Hans has a very good nose. Let’s go to work, finish early and fill up your stomach early, and wait until you can’t do it anymore. , Just go to the **** Peter, and he will tell you how much money you made and how much food you can exchange.”

Amidst the old Hans’s nagging, the boy carried an iron pick that was faster than him, picked up the back basket that was almost rubbing the ground, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the mine.

Until his figure disappeared, Old Hans shook his head. He suddenly turned his head and asked the brawny man in black suit behind him: “Am I particularly wordy today?”

In front of this neurotic old man, the black suit that was as strong as a cow involuntarily took a step back, and shook his head quickly, forcefully, and resolutely.

Old Hans laughed twice and said: “You are very smart, so I let you be the head of the guard. But you must always remember that I am the only official agent of the company in this place, and I can let you Killing those refugees like wild dogs at will can also make you a dog tomorrow. Older people are always a little weird. You just need to do your own thing. Do you understand? “

“Understood, Mr. Hans.”

“You should call me Lord Hans!”

“Understood, Your Excellency Hans!”

Old Hans hummed a tune he learned from nowhere, and walked into a shack made of iron sheets. Even in a town a few kilometers away, this tin shack that is not very windy and leaky can be regarded as a mansion.

Dusk came soon, and the rotten wolves who had slept in hunger for a day let out long howls and began to wander around ghostly, looking for opportunities to fill their stomachs.

In the squeaking sound, Old Hans pushed open the iron door of the shed and walked out, squinting at the sinking sunset. After a nap, he felt much better. The mine not far away was already empty. The workers had already come out, had received their rations, and went back to their habitat. When the sun falls on the horizon, there will be more than one meter of ferocious gophers in the intricate tunnels. Their powerful upper and lower jaws, sharp and sturdy incisors can easily bite off two-centimeter thick iron bars, what a solid rock It is not worth mentioning in front of them. Fortunately, as long as the sun rises, the ferocious gophers will dive deep underground and fall into sleep, so the miners have at least half a day to dig for ore.

Almost at the same time as the sun was completely sinking, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the mine. The boy staggered out, carrying a basket of ore almost as high as himself.

Old Hans’ eyelids twitched a few times, and he remained silent, watching the skinny child drag the ore on his back over the scale, then pour it on the hill-like mine, and then hold the paper written by the foreman. The article walked over slowly. The cloth wrapped around the boy’s body has been dyed with large pieces of red yellow and mixed blue with mineral powder.

Looking at the boy coming over, Old Hans walked around the back of the house. There, a large shed was erected against the tin house, and the lame Peter, who had lost half of his leg, moved his body weighing more than one hundred kilograms with difficulty, and shouted, “Boy, come here!”

The boy went under the shed and handed a note. Cripple Peter glanced at him and couldn’t help but whistle, and said, “You are not bad! He has done more than many adults. Come on, here is the list, see what you want to change. Are you literate? Oh, okay. , It’s amazing! I only recognize half of the words on this list. Hey, don’t look over there, you can’t afford to change the things on it now! Look down from here.”

Peter stroked the middle of the long list with his thick finger, and the boy looked up at the list. His gaze stayed in the “drinking water” column, and he looked up all the way until he was blocked by Peter’s thick fingers.

“That’s it.” The boy pointed at the list with his fingers wrapped in cloth strips.

Peter yelled immediately: “Aha! Grade 3 drinking water! Boy, you must be a nobleman. I heard that the bodies of noblemen are so tender that they can only drink pure water, but there are no such impurities. Water that does not radiate at all!”

“That’s it.” The boy pointed to the list, and his voice was flat without any fluctuations, making people wonder if it was a synthetic voice.

Peter shrugged, digging from a pile of wooden boxes behind him a can of a drink that was also indistinguishable from the age, and threw it to the boy. “Here! Grade 3 drinking water, luxury kid.”

The boy carefully put the drink can in the blanket and turned to leave. The **** Peter scratched his head, took the moldy bread the size of a fist and was as hard as ore, and threw it to the boy: “Boy, mining is hard work. , You can’t eat without food. Take this, remember, you owe five cents to the **** Peter, and you will deduct it from your salary tomorrow!”

The boy took the bread, put it in the blanket with the same care, and then bowed deeply to the **** Peter before he walked into the darkness.

In the dark wilderness, dozens of pairs of wolves stared at the boy, whispering one after another.

“That kid seems to have done a lot today. How about we go over and see what he changed? Maybe it’s half a loaf of bread.”

“I bet there must be a large piece of grilled fierce rat meat in his arms!”

A lazy but cruel voice next to him took the conversation: “Hey! A few newcomers over there, don’t you know the rules of Old Hans? No one can do it on his turf. Grab the things in exchange.”

The previous voice was obviously not convinced: “Old Hans? What can he control? I can beat ten of this kind of old man!”

The lazy man laughed and cursed: “Only you? It’s not worth licking old Hans’s ass!”

The person who was scolded as a rookie was still not convinced, and was about to argue. Who knew that the other party suddenly lost patience, so he whistled and shouted, “Boys, cut up this guy who wants to make trouble and feed the rotten wolf. !”

More than a dozen dark shadows came up and gathered around.

After a short scream, the wilderness returned to tranquility. People have to hurry up and rest, so that an extra basket of ore will come out tomorrow.

In the barn, the **** Peter could no longer see the boy. He grabbed his head with a few hairs left, and muttered: “Where is this kid going? If he is eaten by a rotten wolf, I The five cents of my money are gone. Hey, old Hans, do you think my money will not go to waste?”

The old Hans, who had been leaning on the shed pillar, spread his hands and said, “God knows.”

The **** Peter stood up laboriously and began to pack the food and record list on the console. His remaining thighs are strong and strong enough to support more than one hundred kilograms of body to jump around in the barn without crutches. He picked up the last piece of paper that the boy had handed in, and just threw it away. He suddenly remembered something, looked at it, and said to himself: “Third-level drinking water, I really don’t know what he wants this for. In the mine. The radiation in the city is much stronger than the sewage outside the town. This is not something that can be solved by drinking some clean water.”

Old Hans took the note from Peter’s hand, glanced at the numbers on it, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the fire pit outside the barn.

Old Hans coughed a few times, spit out heavy sputum, and said: “Peter, turn around and tell Mad Dog Med that from tomorrow on each basket will be deducted 10 kilograms of the child. If he can work here for a full month, Just give him enough weight.”

Peter said: “This seems a bit out of compliance.”

“He is raising a child.” Old Hans lit a cigarette that was only half left, his voice a little dull.

Peter raised his head in surprise, and said, “What? How old is he and how can he raise children?”

Old Hans spit out a smoke ring and said, “If children under three years old, if they drink non-radioactive water and eat clean things, yes, they will always eat **** third-grade water and food, then they will grow up. Will not mutate.”

Peter raised his eyebrows and said, “God! I thought everyone was going to mutate. But how do you know this?”

Old Hans calmly said: “Because I also raised children.”

Peter was taken aback, and said, “You never talked about this. How old is he? He should be twenty years old, God bless him, don’t be as ugly as you.”

Old Hans smiled and said: “At that time I was very poor and couldn’t find enough clean water and food. He mutated when he was five years old and did not survive.”

Peter didn’t know what to say for a while, and was silent for a while, before he said, “Old guy, sorry, I shouldn’t have said this. You know…oh, I have never met a child in my life. Of women, there is no chance to raise a child.”

Old Hans took a heavy puff of smoke, looked at the pale green night sky outside the barn, and said: “Man, you never need to tell me this. If it weren’t for you, I would have become rotten. The wolf’s food is gone, and the company agent’s seat is not my turn.”

Peter picked up a nearly fifty kilograms of feeding box, supported on one leg, jumped more than one meter high, gently placed the feeding box on the highest shelf, scratched his head, and said, “I can Not trying to save you. You know that I am a master in the fighting domain. At that time, the ability to strengthen defense was already Tier 2, and the wolf king could not bite me anyway. But you are different, like yours. The soft egg of the magic domain, it can tear off half of your **** in one bite!”

Old Hans handed Pete the small half of the cigarette in his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said: “Man, go to bed early, it’s late, no women will come here.”

Peter took a bit of smoke, held it in his lungs, and vomited it out until he couldn’t help it anymore. Old Hans had already returned to the iron room, and only heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, which meant that he had thrown himself on the bed. Cripple Peter pulled out a green-painted iron box from under the console, and carefully took out the magazine that was rotten at any time, and turned it page by page in the light of the bonfire, his breath gradually becoming heavy. .

The cover of the magazine suddenly fell off and fell to the ground. The glamorous and glamorous woman on the cover has become a bit obscure due to age, but you can still see the eye-catching “playboy” on the cover. Under the cover, a line of small print marks the publication date of the magazine: February 1982.

No matter how many new refugees arrive in the wilderness, or whether the original refugees disappear unexpectedly, the sun always rises as usual.

The boy was the same as yesterday. It happened when people were all down the mine. When the sun was completely sinking, the ore came out, and the ore was as much as yesterday, and the things they changed were the same. The only difference was that the money he owed the **** Peter changed from five cents to ten cents.

One month later, maybe there is enough food to eat, maybe because the boy’s strength is strong, he makes a little more money every day than before, so his debt to the **** Peter is decreasing day by day.

Life in the wilderness is monotonous and repetitive, and one year has passed.

In this era, being able to live monotonously and repeatedly is already a rare happiness. There is no need to **** food from the rotten wolves, and there is also water with less irradiance. What else can you ask for? As for boring, it is too extravagant topic, only crazy people will think about it occasionally.

In the beginning, there were new rookies among the refugees who wanted to hit the boy, but the cloth strips all over his body frightened them. In this era, there are at least dozens of diseases that can be strongly contagious and are incurable. All of these diseases have a common feature, which is decay. Many people are secretly guessing what has become rotten under those cloth strips, and betting on how many more days he will live. However, when the deadline set by the most daring gambler passed, there were four courageous and ignorant rookies who followed the boy away in the dark. Three people have never appeared since, and the one who came back has lost the boy’s whereabouts. Early the next morning, the refugees discovered that the man was hanging high on a wooden pole outside Old Hans’ house. The bodyguard in a black suit used the double-shot shotgun to blast him ten rounds, but he still Not dead. In terms of how to torture people, black suits are obviously quite talented.

From then on, the veterans of the refugees know that they must never hit the boy’s idea.

Three years have passed.

The ore dug up by the boy is four times the original amount, but the food that needs to be changed is also increasing, so he never saves. The wrinkles on Old Hans’s face have become deeper, and the number of pages in the 83rd edition of Playboy collected by the **** Peter has changed from fifteen pages to eleven pages.

In the fifth year, the ore that can be dug out in the mine is getting less and less, and the plain happiness in the wilderness comes to an end.

One evening, when he received food and water from the **** Peter again, Old Hans stopped him. The boy at the time, the boy now followed the old Hans into the iron room. The room was full of clutter, but there was a bed inside, a real bed with quilt and pillows. Such a bed is enough to distinguish Old Hans from everyone. The boy did not look at the bed more, but kept looking at a hand-drawn map hanging on the wall. The map is very rough, there are still large blanks on it, and some places are marked with red markers with prominent danger.

“We are here.” Old Hans pointed to the map, then his fingers all the way west, until he stopped at the circle marked with scarlet danger, and then said, “This place is a nest of fire-breathing ants. These one-meter-long guys are very difficult to deal with. They don’t really breathe fire, but be careful that the acid they spray is worse than fire. The most annoying thing is that these guys never They are all dispatched in groups. But they also have good things on them. Their front paws are harder than steel, but their weight is half lighter, so they can be sold in many places at a good price, because few people dare. Go hunt for fire-breathing ants. In the middle of their hind legs, there is a small piece of meat that has no radiation and no toxins, but the weight is too small.”

The young man looked at the map quietly, as if he wanted to engrave every stroke on it in his heart. The color of the only exposed eye was deep blue, and there were faint gray lines around the pupils, which were crystal clear, like a piece of the finest jade. In so many years, Old Hans found that it was the first time that he saw the boy’s eyes clearly.

Old Hans cleared his throat and pointed to the southern end of the fire-breathing ant nest. There was only a w, and I didn’t know what it meant.

“There is a cave here, and there is a sewage pond in the cave, where there is a large mutated leech. If you feed it with your own blood, it will drain the excess water from the body. This water contains only slight radiation. , Not much, barely enough for a five-year-old child.”

“The fire-breathing ant’s nest is about a hundred kilometers away. You may have to walk for a few days. The mine will be closed tomorrow, so you don’t need to come over.” Old Hans waved his hand, and the young man Quietly left the iron house. Before leaving the house, the boy looked at the old Hans and said thank you softly.

The boy’s voice is as soft as the wind, and it has a mysterious magnetism. If it is placed in the previous era, it may have the potential to become a superstar.

In the second morning, the sun drove the wandering rotten wolves back to the lair, but it also brought gusts of wind and fist-sized gravel. From the mine to the west, there is the endless Gobi desert. The flaming red rocks are blown by wind and sand into piles of stone pillars. Looking around, only a few low, sharp thorns can be seen, and the branches and leaves contain highly poisonous sand wattle. Rock scorpion and giant black bee are both deadly threats, but the biggest danger is that there is no water, even sewage full of radiation.

When the rock scorpions were hiding in the crevices of the rocks to avoid the sun, the teenager appeared on the edge of the Gobi. He wrapped his whole body tightly with a black felt blanket, holding a small child in his bandaged hand, and the child was also covered with a black blanket.

In Yan Xie’s compound eyes, two figures, one large and one small, holding hands, slowly walked toward the depths of the Gobi. Suddenly a gust of wind blows, and the blanket on the child’s head is lifted, and a piece of long gray hair like silk satin spills out, swaying thousands of dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the sun.

The young man stopped, carefully gathered her long hair, covered her with a blanket again, and then took her hand and continued to walk deep into the Gobi.

After walking like this for a whole week, they finally found the cave that Old Hans said, and also found the mutant leech. The boy placed the girl in the cave, and walked to the fire-breathing ant’s nest alone in the dark.

Until the dusk of the third day, the boy struggled to come back. The little girl sat quietly at the entrance of the cave and waited for him to return. She didn’t know how long she had been sitting.

This evening, the little girl frowned, biting the bluish-white fire-breathing ant meat with her white teeth with all her strength. The ant meat was tough and fishy, ​​but she tried to chew every piece of meat and swallow it, licking even the juice on her fingers.

In the depths of the cave, the young man was hidden in the darkness, cleaning up the criss-cross and deep bone wounds on his body little by little.

The blood-sucking mutant leeches lazily crawled out of the porcelain bowl, slipped silently into the shimmering sewage pond, dived into the depths of the pond, and left half a bowl of water in the porcelain bowl. .

It takes three days for the teenager to go to the nest of fire-breathing ants. So the lives of teenagers, girls and leeches are repeated over and over again with three days as a cycle.

Three years later, the leech died.

No matter what happens, the sun will always rise.

The teenager and the girl stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, and the strong wind blew their tattered blankets, tearing off a piece of wool from time to time.

“We have to go to the settlement.” The boy’s voice is always so gentle and calm, and the vague magnetism is deeper and wider.

The girl has grown to the boy’s chest now. She leaned against the boy, wrapped her blanket tightly, and said softly “I’m afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.” The young man’s voice is firm and unwavering determination, but only he himself will know how much confidence he can have.

The boy brought four carefully selected forelimbs of fire-breathing ants. Old Hans said that this thing should be able to sell for a good price in the settlement, a good price means food and clean water. The experience in the mine told him that you can’t bring too many things that can be sold at a good price, otherwise you will be in trouble.

The young man walked in front, while the girl led him by the corner of his clothes, and the two of them walked towards the desperately desolate front.

Yorkston Town is a settlement that has only developed in the last ten years. There are already five or six hundred people of all kinds living here. Bars, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and clinics have been opened one after another. There is even a sheriff in charge of maintaining order. The power of the sheriff comes from the Uzi submachine gun that is always on his back. Compared with the wine bottles, iron rods, machete and even homemade gunpowder guns that are common in the surrounding area, the sheriff’s submachine gun is obviously more convincing. Therefore, the town of Yorkston also has a basic order, at least here can not kill people casually, if you kill people, then there must be a legitimate reason.

The reason approved by the sheriff is a valid reason.

On this day, a real big man came to Yorkston, and some people of status and status went to greet him outside the town. Those who are not qualified to go are talking excitedly about this big man, even though they don’t even know whether the big man is a man or a woman. In this way, no one pays particular attention to the teenagers entering the town.

The butcher in the town runs the only hotel at the same time. After receiving a superior fire-breathing ant blade, he was very happy to open a room for the teenager and the girl, and also said that he could provide a free dinner. Of course, if you want low-radiation high-quality goods, a fire-breathing ant blade may not be enough.

The boy asked the girl to rest in the room, and took the remaining fire-breathing ant blades out of the hotel. I heard that this item can be sold at a better price in the grocery store. Before leaving the house, the boy carefully arranged an inconspicuous mechanism on the door of the room.

From the butcher’s somewhat unnatural smile, the boy had a foreboding that there might be trouble, but he didn’t expect the trouble to come so soon. Just after an intersection, the teenager was stopped by two people, and the square-headed wooden stick in his hands could tell that they had no good intentions.

“Hey, kid! I heard that you sell fire-breathing ant blades, our boss wants to talk to you!”

The young man hesitated for a moment, and followed the three men into a secluded alley, and then walked into a big house that was still fairly complete. In the middle of the room sat a big man, who looked like the boss, and the three people behind him blocked the door intentionally or unintentionally.

The boss is obviously satisfied with the attitude of the boy with his head down. “Boy! You can call me a viper. I heard that you have a fire-breathing ant blade. Very good. No matter how many you have, I will do it. Now. This is your reward!”

The young man looked at the rock-hard brown bread rolling to his feet, slowly bent over and picked it up, and at the same time placed the three fire-breathing ant blades on the ground on the ground. Although this piece of bread is hard enough for a long time, the radiation level is not high. The girl has grown up and can withstand the radiation of this procedure.

When he stood upright, he found that the three people behind him didn’t mean to open the door, and the hands holding the wooden sticks were obviously hard.

Viper also stood up, and pulled out a hand-made single-barreled short gunpowder from his back. He grinned and said, “You are very knowledgeable and aware of current affairs. You originally made this deal, so you should be released. To make a living. It’s a pity that the butcher reported that you also brought a thin-skinned chick, so there’s no way. Actually I’m not the boss, but the second child. The boss is called Black Bear, and I’m probably lying on that chick now. Yeah! No way, the boss is about to catch up with the mutant, but he prefers to be a kid. Okay, kid, it’s time to get you on the road! I hope that little girl hasn’t died when I rush over!”

At this moment, the boy was hiding in his ears under the bandage, and suddenly heard a faint beep. It was the sound of the metal piece he was racking on the door of the room being broken and rubbed. This kind of sound waves of tens of thousands of frequencies were not audible to ordinary people’s ears.

He suddenly raised his head. Although his face was deeply hidden in the shadow of the blanket, his only left eye lit up, like a green flame!

“You…” The Viper screamed, and the call stopped abruptly, and then there was a huge gunshot from the gunpowder gun in the room. The gunshot shook the only intact piece of glass, and the air quickly filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder.

The teenager wrapped in a black blanket appeared like a ghost at the door of the Butcher Inn.

The door of the hotel that was nailed indiscriminately with wooden planks was ajar, and you could smell the blood coming out of it from a long distance. In the hotel, there was extraordinary silence, faintly, as if there was a small voice sobbing.

The boy stopped at the door before entering the hotel, leaving behind him a series of blood stains.

The butcher stayed at the door of the boy’s room, his eyes staring to the limit, and extreme fear solidified on his face. All he has left is a head, and his body is missing.

The door of the room was vacant, and blood gushing from under the door like a spring, it was so much that it was heart palpitating.

The boy stood in the blood, and the feeling on his skin told him that the blood was still hot. He gently pushed open the concealed door, and then was speechless.

The girl sat in the middle of the room with her knees wrapped, her head hidden behind her knees, and she was sobbing softly. The black blanket that was always wrapped around him was thrown in the corner of the room, and the bed made of rough wood collapsed completely. The girl was wearing a rough but very clean skirt. The exposed skin, whether it was her arms or half of her calves, was maddeningly white and tender. Although she is still young, even in the old age, it is possible to turn the men of the entire city into beasts.

The room has become hell.

People’s flesh and limbs are scattered everywhere here, and there is almost no place to stand. Some live organs are even squirming, and the walls are completely stained black and red by the splash of blood. The blood was still pouring out of the fragments of the limbs, and accumulated into blood puddles several centimeters deep on the ground. I don’t know if the butcher’s body is here, I don’t know which piece of meat belongs to the black bear, and I don’t know if there are three or four people lying here. Everything was chopped up and mixed together.

The girl just sat like this, sitting in the center of the **** of flesh and blood.

Her beautiful long gray hair falls like a waterfall, like a piece of silk, the tips of her hair are immersed in blood. Beside the girl, a huge, square-edged bone-cutting knife with a length of one meter was inserted on the ground. The blade was full of gaps, and there were many fine muscles hanging on it. Only when dealing with a raging iron-clad bear whose bones are as hard as the rock, the butcher will use this stainless steel square-edged bone chopper.

The girl raised her head when she heard the sound of the door, and she saw the boy. She immediately showed a rainbow-like smile, and under the sunlight coming through the window, the teardrops still hanging from the corners of her eyes sparkled like two brilliant diamonds.

The boy sighed, carefully found a foothold among the limbs on the floor, and walked towards the girl.

The girl didn’t care so much, she leaped up and plunged into his arms, kicking all the way, blood and blood splashed. The young man gently stroked her long gray hair. The hair was still soft and warm. Although it was soaked in blood, there was no blood drop on it.

“I’m afraid!” the girl said softly. Her little hands clung to the bandage on the boy’s body, and even pulled him very painfully. The boy knew that she was really scared, but she didn’t know how to comfort him.

Settlements always mean trouble, but in the wilderness, it is getting harder and harder to find food. The most lacking is clean water. In this era, the first thing everyone faces every day is survival. In the face of survival, there is no tolerance and no sharing. Anyone, in the eyes of others, may mean clean food and moisture.

Suddenly loud and noisy people sounded outside the hotel, and someone shouted: “The outsider has killed someone! The butcher is dead! I see they are still inside!”

The shouting of the crowd is getting louder and louder, and the sound of metal percussion can be heard from time to time. From the sound, there are dozens of people surrounded this hotel with only four rooms. The teenager patted the girl lightly, and silently took out a carefully collected fire-breathing ant blade from under the black blanket. The blade was cut in half, leaving only the sharpest tip. Every serration on the blade flashed with a faint blue light, and the grip was carefully polished and wrapped tightly around the coarse cloth belt. In terms of power, this thing is comparable to the military daggers of the old age.

The young man squeezed the blade tightly and waited quietly for the moment when the crowd broke in. The girl didn’t cry anymore, her beautiful blue eyes looked around the room for a week, and landed on the square-edged bone-cutting knife again, so she stretched out her little hand and wanted to grab the knife. She uses this thing very smoothly.

The young man stretched out his left hand and pulled the girl back, not allowing her to touch the knife. He blocked the girl behind him and looked at the door and window quietly. Although the windows were nailed down with wooden slats, it is hard to guarantee that no one would rush in from here.

“Quiet!” The sheriff’s majestic voice sounded outside the hotel, and the noise was immediately reduced, showing the sheriff’s authority, although not enough: “Let me see what’s going on first! Damn it, okay. How many people died in the heavy smell of blood?”

With a loud sound, the door of the hotel was kicked open by the sheriff. The crowd immediately exclaimed, and then there was a crash, and the sheriff’s Uzi had already pulled the bolt.

At this moment, a cold and murderous voice suddenly sounded outside: “Go away! Make way for Madam!”

The young man immediately heard several screams and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. It was obvious that the people had no time to escape. However, the turbulent noise outside has completely disappeared. The mob, including the sheriff, are all silent, no one dared to make a noise, let alone any objection.

Then amidst the rumbling noise, smoke and dust rose, and the courtyard walls, walls, gates, and roofs of the hotel were forcibly taken apart. With a sneer, a hand wearing a dark black leather glove plunged into the thin iron sheet that was used as a wall. He tore off the entire sheet of iron sheet by holding it and pulling it, and threw it more than ten meters away. This is a tall, handsome, arrogant and cold young man, with short golden hair standing up like a burning flame. He wore a silver-gray alloy bust armor to protect the front chest, back heart, lower abdomen and other vital parts. Under the armor is a dark black uniform with dark gold stripes, and the long leather boots on his feet are shiny and incompatible with the surrounding mess. It was just this person who demolished it all the way from a street more than ten meters away in a few minutes with bare hands, and opened a five-meter-wide road in the block where houses were built in disorder.

The boy, the girl, and the **** in the house are unfolded in front of everyone.

The girl raised her head and looked at the people around her blankly. This was the first time she saw so many people gathered together. She instinctively felt a hint of danger, and wanted to reach out to grab the square-edged bone-cutting knife, but was held tightly by the young man.

As soon as I saw the girl’s face clearly, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and even the haughty blond warrior’s expression was somewhat stagnant.

The sound of everyone’s breathing echoed clearly in the boy’s ears, obviously getting heavier and heavier. So he sighed, raised his head, and looked behind the blond warrior.

At the other end of the road that had just been opened for a few minutes, there was a carriage parked. This is a four-horse carriage in the style of the 18th century from the old era. The black and gold body is old and elegant, and the bronze car lights are shiny. The driving is four tall horses. What is rare is that all four of them have the same white fur, without any variegated silk.

No one throughout Yorkston will recognize these four thoroughbred horses, but it doesn’t matter, no matter what the horses are, they are far beyond the limits of their imagination.

Before and after the carriage, there were eight fully armed warriors standing each with the same alloy armor as the blond young man. The difference is that the blond youth is empty-handed, and the sixteen samurai are armed with heavy firepower. Compared with the four minimi heavy machine guns, the sheriff’s Uzi is a toy.

The four waiters took a roll of scarlet carpet from the carriage behind, and spread it all the way down the road from under the carriage, extending it in front of the teenager and the girl.

The room is a **** of blood and flesh. The thick scarlet carpet was spread down, and it immediately sank in the semi-coagulated blood. But the waiters did not hesitate to layer the carpets, which were obviously outrageously expensive, one by one, until the bleeding was five centimeters high, ensuring that blood would never flow onto the carpet.

The four waiters, whether they are in black tuxedos, snow-white shirts, or neatly ironed bow ties, should not belong to this era. In Yorkston, even the decent people are no more than beggars of the old days. There is a conspicuous big hole in the sheriff’s jeans, but because it is not torn on the ass, it is already the first-class costume that represents the identity. And because of the preciousness of water, people in the town never take a bath.

Unlike others, the young people look at the feet of these waiters. They gracefully stepped on the pieces of broken limbs with high bleeding water, light as if they were a butterfly, and the obviously soft muscles on the limbs only sag slightly, and they bear the weight of the waiter. Until they laid the carpet and exited the house, only the soles of the eight shiny black leather shoes were stained with blood. Seeing this, the boy’s dark blue pupils shrank slightly.

An elderly housekeeper walked to the carriage, opened the door slowly and gracefully, then spread a snow-white square on his arm and raised it flat.

In the door of the car, a hand stretched out, as elegant, delicate, and slender as an orchid, resting on the butler’s arm. On the ring worn by the middle finger, the dark sapphire the size of a quail egg made almost everyone look straight. The only thing that makes people feel a little abrupt are those slender nails that are five centimeters long. The nail lines are impeccable, but they are decorated with black and red patterns, which makes people shudder.

Coming out of the carriage is a woman dressed in an old medieval court costume. Her hair was curled up high and tied into a bun with a golden silk rose-patterned headband. She looked just twenty or so, her light gray eyes had a typical aristocratic indifference, and her skin was so delicate that she might be blown through by the wind at any time. No matter from which point of view, she meets even the most demanding standard of classical beauty.

When the woman got out of the carriage, the residents of Yorkston suddenly forgot the neighbor who had been shot and still lying at their feet. With a bang, you pushed me and squeezed, trying to get closer to see more clearly. Most people here have never seen a woman with smooth skin in their entire lives, not to mention the dresses on her that were only available in the old age and the jewels that were enough to make the ladies and ladies of the old age jealous and make their eyes red.

Almost everything around this woman is so incompatible with this era. To be precise, it is extravagant beyond the reach of people’s imagination.

The excited and excited crowd pushed and squeezed towards the carriage step by step. As long as in the group, even the most cowardly person will have inexplicable courage, not to mention that in this era, the difference between man and beast is blurred.

Just when people were about to lose control of their emotions, a guard suddenly raised his muzzle, and minimi’s muzzle burst into a fiery stream of fire. Hundreds of bullets were easily blocked by the torrential rain of gunfire. The flesh in front was torn apart, and an abrupt hole was cut out from the crowded wall!

Until the entire bullet chain was lighted up, the guard lowered the hot heavy machine gun. No expression could be seen on the wooden face, as if the shot was not a dozen people, but only a dozen animals. . In the ears of all the townspeople in Yorkston, the click of the guard changing the chain was so clear and cold. The sheriff swallowed hard, and quietly hid his Uzi behind him.

The woman didn’t look at the scene of the massacre at all, and she stared at the girl from the moment she got off the carriage. She raised her hand gracefully, pointed at the girl with her black and red fingertips, and said, “I want this girl.”

Her tone is unquestionable, undefeated, not only to the boy, but also to the housekeeper. The butler bowed slightly and said, “Yes, ma’am.”

The young man understands that this is an order, and there is no room for negotiation at all. From the moment the woman got out of the car, he kept his head down and didn’t look at her at all. However, his body trembled uncontrollably, and every time the woman took a step closer, his trembling became stronger.

The old butler who used his arm as a handrail followed her step by step, but he walked respectfully and cautiously outside the carpet. Although walking in the blood-filled ruins, the old butler’s leather shoes are spotless, and unlike the waiters, his soles are also clean. In fact, he never actually touched the ground in every step he took.

The woman went all the way to the boy, stretched out her hand to pull the girl from behind him to her, leaned slightly, and carefully looked at the girl’s incomparably delicate face, before exhaling for a long time, she praised: “What a beautiful eyes. “

From the time of birth, girls have been too beautiful. As she grows older, her beauty is increasing day by day. Perhaps because of her age, the girl did not know to be afraid, but looked back at the woman with some curiosity.

From beginning to end, the teenager stood with his head down, motionless, letting the woman pull the girl away. Although wrapped in a thick blanket, the trembling of his body could not be concealed.

The woman looked at the young man in surprise, nodded and said: “You are actually afraid of me, not my subordinates. That’s good! It looks like you are a smart boy who knows what choices to make. What do you think , What choice will I give you?”

The boy was silent for a moment before he said: “I am alive, and she is yours. Or if I die, she is still yours.”

The woman was even more surprised, but not because of the boy’s answer, but because of his voice. Her tone softened and asked: “Tell me your name.”

“…Sue.”

The young man was silent for a moment before saying a word. He needs to control the shaking of his body to keep his voice steady.

The woman gave a faint smile: “Okay, Sue. My full name is Angelina Finlanaksis. I took this girl away. You can’t protect her now, only with me, She can display all her talents. Remember my name, if one day you are strong enough, you can come to me. Okay, now, show me your face.”

She leaned forward and used the long nails of her left index finger to lift the boy’s chin. The two faces were less than ten centimeters apart, and the mysterious scent in her breath even completely enveloped his face. Then, she slowly pulled off the bandage on the boy’s face with two nails. These bandages looked very dirty, but they didn’t smell strangely.

The sharp points of the black and red nails slowly glided across his skin.

The old butler standing aside lowered his head, looking only at the toe of his leather shoes. The guards all turned around, their backs to this side, and the weapons in their hands pointed at the crowd of onlookers. Those dark muzzles made Yorkston’s townspeople smarter, knowing that just bowing their heads is not enough, they must turn around to survive.

In the extreme silence, the feeling of time becomes a problem. It seemed that only a moment had passed, and it seemed that a long time had passed.

I don’t know when Angelina has pulled up the boy’s bandage again, and smiled and said: “I look forward to the day when you come to me!”

After speaking, Angelina took the girl to the carriage. Behind her, the crisp, high-pitched, unbridled and ambiguous laughter couldn’t help shaking off the blood-red carpet.

The girl did not cry, nor did she resist at all, she just looked back and forth all the way until the door of the carriage blocked her dark blue eyes.

On the carriage window, Angelina suddenly lifted the driving curtain, revealing half of her face full of classical beauty, and said to the boy: “In this era, the most difficult thing is to live with dignity. I hope you didn’t choose this one. The worst way.”

The boy slowly raised his lowered head until the four-carriage drove completely away from Yorkston.

At this moment, he still doesn’t know the true meaning of the name Lanaxis. I don’t know what the Spider Queen of the Bloody Council means to this era.
