Chapter 0223 [Game of Life and Death]
0223
West Asia, a borderless land in the midst of war.
It's a hell for civilians, a paradise for arms dealers.
After sweeping up the local government forces, the European and American coalition forces were busy collecting mineral oil in the west, and they had already evacuated this area for half a year.
In the desolate desert and Gobi, the only small city is still in ruins, and scattered beggars and hungry people are looking for a glimmer of life in the slowly recovering city.
In the northwest corner of the city, a residential area close to the city's water source is the core area of the city.
Here, a large number of armed and fierce men patrol every day, they are a mercenary army stationed in the local area, temporarily "protecting" the city, of course, from time to time, in the middle, need to collect some "protection money".
At noon, a burly white mercenary, somewhat drunk, with a red nose, holding a black buckwheat loaf in one hand and a plastic bottle of well water in the other, walked to a small bungalow in the shadows and opened an iron door guarded by two men.
The bungalow is about 100 square meters, and it's like a garbage heap, with discarded building materials, rusty steel, and food packaging bags.
In the midst of these garbage heaps, there were more than a dozen boys and girls about ten years old, huddled inside.
These children were white, black, and yellow, and their clothes were in tatters, as if they hadn't been washed for days, and their faces were dirty.
Seeing the white drunk man enter, a dozen children woke up from their stare almost instantaneously, staring at the bread and the bottle of water in the man's hand.
The children were all swallowing their saliva, and in fact, several of them were running out of saliva.
They were so hungry that for three days they had been brought only one man's amount of buckwheat bread and one man's amount of water, and the strongest of them had grabbed the most bread and water, while the other two thinnest girls had only two sips of water, and had been hungry for two days.
Although almost none of them speak the language, everyone has slowly come to know the "rules of the game" given to them by this group of mercenaries.
Fittest.
With limited food and water, whoever survives to the end will be eligible to become the young mercenaries trained by the mercenaries next.
This point, they gradually understood through the only window of the bungalow, looking at the boys and girls who were running hard in the early morning.
In this region, mercenaries are always a hot industry, so it is necessary to constantly select good seedlings and cultivate them in order to remain competitive.
Among them, only the strongest and hardest children are qualified to live in this desert.
The white man looked at the little guy who was ready to go, but didn't dare to rush up first, and laughed cruelly, and then threw the bread and water bottle in his hands into the center of the room!
A dozen or so small figures, all of them sprang up like crazy, and rushed towards the bread and water on all fours.
The black boy who had eaten the most bread and drank the most water before was still the most ferocious, and after opening the arms of the two white boys who were fighting with him one by one, he took the lead in grabbing the bread and biting wildly!
He had to take as many bites as he could, as the other children would hold him and start biting into other parts of the bread.
After a few quick bites, the black child went to look for a water bottle.
The one who got the water bottle was the yellow-skinned kid who didn't chase bread from the beginning, but took the water bottle.
The boy was emaciated, with black hair, and bright eyes, and he would snatch the water each time, and then look for an opportunity to pinch off a little bread.
Although he was hungry for three days, but with the support of water, he was not particularly difficult.
“FUCK-OFF!”
The black child roared, snatched the water bottle, and pushed the boy away.
The boy tore off a small piece of bread from the bread he was holding as the black man approached him.
A group of people soon began to fight for bread and water from the black people, and the little boy silently walked into the corner.
There, a man of the same yellow race, pinned a small red hairpin, looked at a little girl of eight or nine years old, sitting on the ground, feebly watching the other children snatch water and food.
She really didn't have the strength to get up, because of the lack of water and food, she was dizzy and on the verge of collapse.
If there are no accidents, she will be the first child to die.
The little boy walked up to the girl and reached out to break the little girl's mouth.
The girl suddenly smelled the bread, and she tried to open her eyes until she saw that the boy was holding a small piece of bread in his hand!
He gave me something to eat!?
The girl barely gave it a second thought, and took a bite of the bread.
To her surprise, the boy suddenly approached her face and kissed her on the mouth......
In a trance, the little girl felt that the boy's mouth was watery, and she couldn't wait to start sucking.
It turned out that the boy had just learned that the black child was coming to grab it, so he took the last sip and did not swallow it, but left it for the little girl to drink.
He only used his mouth as a container to transition into the girl's mouth.
The girl was so thirsty that she finished sucking the water from the boy's mouth and even began to suck the boy's saliva until she had drained the boy's mouth before she realized what she was doing.
Involuntarily, the girl shrank back, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and looked at the boy a little shyly.
Although they are just children, there are some things that are born to be shy.
The boy had a little heartbeat, but he didn't say anything, and sat silently to the side, watching the other children continue to fight with the girl.
"You...... What's your name?" asked the girl, who had come to her feet with water and a mouthful of bread, in a whisper.
"Lin Fei", the boy replied lightly.
"Oh...... I...... My name is Xiao Tingting", the girl asked curiously, "Lin Fei, why are you giving me food? Aren't you hungry?"
Lin Fei frowned, there was Lao Chen on his face who was not in line with his age, and seemed to think that this question was very strange, "Of course I'm hungry, but if you don't drink something to eat, you're going to die, of course I want to save you, not to mention that there are just two of us Xia Guoren here." ”
Xiao Tingting's eyes flashed with crystalline light, "You're so good...... After Mom and Dad are gone, no one has treated me so well......"
Lin Fei looked at her, "Your parents are gone?"
"Hmm...... My mom and dad are both engineers here, and I don't know where they went when they were taken away......," Xiao Tingting said this, her eyes were red, and she wanted to shed tears.
Lin Fei saw that her tears were about to flow, so he unceremoniously stuck out his tongue and licked the tears on the girl's face, "What are you crying about, tears are also water."
Xiao Tingting looked at the boy blankly, as if she was afraid of being licked by Lin Fei again, so she hurriedly stopped crying.
"Lin Fei".
"Huh?"
"Why are you here? Are you separated from your parents?" asked Xiao Tingting.
Lin Fei frowned, "I don't have parents...... It was an old madman who threw me in the desert and was caught by this group of people and thrown in."
"Old madman?"
Xiao Tingting didn't seem to understand what it was called, but she didn't ask much, because since they were all here, it didn't make much sense to ask how to get in.
The two children got to know each other, and in the next two days, with the help of Lin Fei, Xiao Tingting snatched the water first every time, and then drank two sips and gave it to Lin Fei.
With water, the two of them are more resistant than other children who eat bread and have no water.
On the sixth day, two of the children never woke up and were dragged out by the mercenaries who checked in the morning.
Although the children had expected it, when death did come, they all showed deep fear.
Xiao Tingting buried her head in Lin Fei's chest in fear, in such a short period of two or three days, they established a very close relationship, Xiao Tingting was like a sister relying on her big brother, listening to Lin Fei's words, relying on Lin Fei to soothe her heart.
At noon that day, the bread and water delivered were a small part less than before.
The children thought that they could eat and drink more with less than two competitors, but who knows, the food and water will also decrease as the number of people decreases.
As a result, the competition has become more intense.
A white boy who didn't have much strength was pushed by the sturdy black boy, his head fell to the ground, and he didn't wake up directly.
For the first time, the killing between children was inadvertently generated!
The black boy watched the dead white boy being dragged out, with panic in his eyes, but more than that, a madness in despair......
