Volume 2 The World After the Cataclysm Chapter 107 The so-called heaven

The sound of stone hammering echoed throughout the Black Cave Ridge, once, twice, three, four...... At first there were men's cries, but gradually all that remained was the dull thumping of stones. One, two, three, four...... The boss didn't seem to know that he was tired, and he kept smashing for more than an hour. The boss came back laughing, and dragged the woman into the cavern. Since then, the five people have not gone out to work, and the old five family has never appeared again......

Since then, there have been five less hard-working and kind-hearted men and five more cold-blooded and ruthless demons in the Black Cave Ridge. It was also from that time that the ninth district lost children and sometimes women every once in a while. Until Duan Junjie came, he went into the Black Cave Ridge to help a woman find her missing son.

Duan Junjie finished telling the second little story, everyone was not silent at this time, some people began to shout and curse angrily, and Guan Yulin also planned a cabinet next to him. The soldier knocked on the door to inquire about the situation, but was also scolded by Xuanyuan Yi angrily. Duan Junya covered her mouth, she wanted to cry but couldn't, she was obviously very sad, but she couldn't shed tears. Is it numb? Xuanyuan Yi's mood is very complicated now, the gap between the life in the ninth district and the environment he is in is really too big. Is this what is called heaven? No, it's definitely not heaven. It's a brutal hell. Xuanyuan Yi turned his head to look at Duan Junya, whose eyes were already red with tears, and suddenly felt a little distressed in his heart, the truth here was so cruel, he really didn't want her to face such a cruel truth.

Duan Junjie exhaled heavily, and without giving everyone a chance to buffer, he began his third short story. When the 9th District was first established, the people who lived here were very good, and everyone didn't have much difficulty except for the fear of the end times. Everyone in the neighborhood helps each other, works together, suffers together, and perseveres together. However, one day is acceptable, two days can be endured, and three days can be persevered. But after day after day, everyone began to change.

Especially a group of parents who came with their children, they felt that it was difficult to support themselves, and it was really difficult to carry one or two oil bottles. It's okay for your own children to say that they can squeeze out some food for their children after a few hungry meals, but those adults who raise the children of relatives can't. When the cataclysm occurred, many people died during the mutation period and the initial slaughter period. Many siblings have died, but some of their children are still alive, and many more parents are dying to save their children.

These surviving children, those who have relatives take refuge in relatives, and those who have no relatives are called orphans. Most of the orphans are left to fend for themselves, and those who have relatives can at least be taken care of. But after a long time and less food, the contradiction will come out. Li Qiang is an orphan who took refuge in his uncle, and his father was bitten to death by mutants in order to save him and his mother in the last days. His mother took him to his uncle, but fortunately no one in his family died, so his uncle took them and hid in the dungeon together. At first, the two families got along very well, but later because the food became scarcer and smaller, the aunt became more and more critical of their mother and son. My mother is not in good health and can't go out to work, so the whole family can only rely on my uncle to support her.

When my uncle went out, my aunt found all kinds of reasons to let my mother work, and if I didn't do it, I was scolded badly, and once Li Qiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over and pushed my aunt, and my aunt fell and broke her head. When the uncle returned, he was furious, and the sticks that had struck him were broken. Mom kept pleading, and even knelt down and kowtowed to his uncle, but his uncle's anger just couldn't be extinguished, and he kept scolding his mother and him for being useless oil bottles. On that day, Li Qiang was really desperate, and that day was Li Qiang's 15th birthday. My mother hugged Li Qiang and cried all night, and the next day my aunt didn't let them eat a bite of food.

In order to support Li Qiang, my mother had to go out to do the business that women were most unwilling to do, and every time she came back, she could bring some food. But that's it, my aunt will also find excuses to deduct some things, and keep scolding his mother after taking things. At first, Li Qiang didn't know what his mother was going out to do, but then once his aunt exposed the incident in front of his mother, and Li Qiang, who was full of shame and indignation, became angry with his mother for the first time, beating and scolding him. Mom just sat on the floor and cried, crying for a long, long time. The next day, the mother wiped away her tears and went out, she carried all the humiliation just to earn a bite to eat for the child. Li Qiang also went to the construction site with his uncle from that day.

There are two laborers who work, and the family's life is slightly better. However, one day my mother went out and never came back. Li Qiang knelt and begged his uncle for a long time before his uncle agreed to go out and find it. My uncle had been out for a long time, and when he came back, he was just carrying a bag of cornmeal. Li Qiang asked his mother, but his uncle didn't reply, Li Qiang kept asking, until he was in a hurry to ask his uncle before answering him: "Your mother is dead!" Li Qiang was stupid and rushed out like crazy. I cried all the way, searched all the way, and finally learned from the mouth of a soldier on patrol that no one knew how a female corpse was carried out in the barracks today.

Li Qiang went crazy and rushed to a pile of rocks outside the city, where there were many potholes, which were very suitable for throwing dead bodies, so the dead who were usually unclaimed would be thrown there and buried. When Li Qiang arrived, he happened to see two soldiers burying a pit. He cried and shouted over, picked up the soil that was not buried deeply, and saw the familiar clothes, the familiar body, and the familiar mother. There was still blood at the corner of my mother's mouth that had not been wiped clean, and her hands were still tied up with a steel wire. "Mom!!" This was the last time Li Qiang called Mom. Li Qiang kowtowed to the two soldiers, and one of the soldiers told him that this person died in the camp, and that someone from her family had come to theorize just now, and as a result, he was compensated three catties of cornmeal.

Three catties of cornmeal are the last traces left by Li Qiang's mother in this world! It turns out that the bag that my uncle brought back was exchanged for my mother's life. Since then, Li Qiang has never returned to his uncle's house, and he went to a coal yard in District 9. Li Qiang met a teenager named Zhuzi here, he is 17 years old today, and he is the head of this area.

The pillar told him that his father had died on the run to save his uncle, and that he and his sister had been entrusted to his uncle before he died. They followed their uncle to the dungeon and went to work together on the construction site to feed their sister. But I never expected that once this beast uncle was a beast, and this beast later asked his sister to go out and do bad things, saying that it would be faster to earn food in this way.

Sister Zhuzi couldn't stand such an insult and chose to hang herself. Before she died, she gave him a letter to tell him what had happened, and Zhuzi cried for a day and a night holding the letter while holding his sister's new letter. Later, while his uncle was asleep, he beat him to death with a hammer and fled. gathered a group of teenagers who were angry like Li Qiang. Later, they worked together when they went to work, and they worked together when they got off work, and once they met a little girl in the coal yard. It was only that day that he realized that it was like to be a bad guy.

Later, they singled out lonely children to bully until they met a man, a fierce man, a man like a wolf. This group of fifteen or sixteen delinquent teenagers has stayed forever in this flowering season and rainy season all their lives. That man was Duan Junjie, he didn't show mercy to the other party because it was a group of children who hadn't grown up, he felt that he was too sorry for the victim. It may be that justice, while it may be late, is never absent.

Duan Junjie calmly finished telling the three stories, and when he told these three stories, he was so calm from beginning to end. Calmly made Xuanyuan Yi feel scared, what kind of mental training did he go through to have such tenacious nerves as him? At least he couldn't do it now, he just sat here and listened to it and already felt very depressed. At this time, Guan Yulin looked at Duan Junjie and didn't know what to say, one moment felt that he was doing the right thing, and the other felt that he was too cruel. Zhang Fenghao just calmly poured a glass of wine for Duan Junjie, and Duan Junjie drank it with a smile. Yu Xizhe was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Duan Junya's brows twisted into twists, and she looked at Duan Junjie distressedly thinking about how to comfort him.

Xuanyuan Yi didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little itchy in his eyes. But when he wiped it with his hand, he felt something wet, so he stared at the ceiling above with red eyes, and after a long while, he lowered his head and said slowly: "Here people have become ghosts, and ghosts have become demons." Demons, attracting some people to become the same kind. Saying that, Xuanyuan Yi looked at Duan Junjie calmly, he knew in his heart that if Duan Junjie continued to live in the ninth district for another period of time, he might not become a bloodthirsty demon.

Duan Junjie licked his dry lips and said: "The heaven of the upper class is built on the blood and bones of the lower class, is this the heaven you yearn for? Is it this kind of heaven made of corpses? Can you eat the blood-soaked food with peace of mind every day? Can you sleep peacefully on those bedding woven with life? Is this the paradise you want!"

Everyone was very ugly when Duan Junjie said it, and their faces were gloomy, these words were too direct to the heart, naked and bloody revealed the secrets and disguises in everyone's hearts. They live every day as if they are in heaven, they have to eat and drink, they have to go out and have a car, and they have someone to serve when they come back. Mixed into the upper class of life, they will not worry about food, will not worry about clothing, and give people the illusion that everything is back before the end of the world. Such a comfortable life was like a gray cloth that tightly covered their eyes.

But what about those low-level people? What about those ordinary people? They are also human beings! They are their compatriots, and they are the people they swore to protect with their lives when they joined the army! Have you forgotten them? Guan Yulin stood up and said to Duan Junjie: "Instructor Duan, don't say it. I listen to you all, what do you say we should do now? No matter what you do, I Guan Yulin will definitely be the first to rush!" Yu Xizhe got up and said, "I have a lot of weapons in my research institute, and some explosives, I'll bring them when I go back!" Instructor, no, let's destroy this dungeon!"
