Reborn Son of the Damned (4)
The red-haired girl, dressed in tatters, sat on the ground on the corner of the broken road with her knees crossed, silently watching the people passing by.
Red-haired and red-eyed, at first glance a hateful and despicable "cursed child", passers-by either turn a blind eye, or stop a little, and spit out a mouthful of disgusted yellow phlegm.
Just in time for the rain, the old path became muddy. There are frightening numbers of people walking on the paths. There are alcoholic people who sit on the ground and shout, cursing this doggy world.
If you look closely, you can find that in this metal barrier, which is known as the last home of mankind, the rationing of materials is still not popular, and the wine and meat of Zhumen stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Disadvantaged groups who have no money, no power and no ability do not even deserve to have enough food for their stomachs.
An old man with a wrinkled face shaped like a knife was laboriously chewing on the roots of a tree that had just been turned out of the ground with his few remaining moving teeth. The old man's eyeballs bulged out and his throat was unusually swollen. Most people who eat only grass and tree bark will get sick after a short time, and often after a rain, countless old and frail people will die quietly.
The pockets of vendors selling sky-high compressed biscuits along the streets are haphazardly stuffed with gold necklaces, gold rings, and even a few huge necklaces encrusted with precious stones. In this world, banknotes are less valuable than waste paper, and precious metals are hard currency, but the most valuable thing is the metal holmium that is rare for ordinary people, and of course those who can afford holmium metal will not come here to buy these non-nutritious compressed biscuits. but
At the makeshift checkpoint in the rear, the procession resembles a black mountain, with everyone holding placards and shouting. Although it is not visible from here. But the sign must have said "Give us a way out".
They were all ordinary people who had fled from all over the country. There are only a few dozen cities like this in the country, and the number of human beings who have survived is less than a fraction of the original, but it is a pity that even these people cannot be fully accommodated in the city. Insufficient distribution was not available.
There was as much unused land as there was on the outskirts of the city, but they still gathered together to pitch their tents. The safest way to shelter yourself from the wind and rain is to enter the building, but it takes a lot of courage to live in a half-damaged building or apartment that can collapse at any time.
I once thought it only existed on TV, and the apocalyptic scene was now presented in front of everyone. In this gloomy world, there is no hope in sight. With no future in sight, people are depressed by despair and uncertainty about their future, and many of those who have rejected their miserable lives have long since committed suicide with dignity.
It is said that it is modern times, and this is the most prosperous capital of the country. Who would believe that?
The little girl seemed to smell the smell of food, and she stood up like a ghost, her two red eyes staring closely at the biscuit in the vendor's hand, and she could not stop salivaing. Swallow a bite. One more swallow, the feeling of hunger is enough to drive people crazy.
When the peddler saw the girl, he frowned and wanted to drive away the obnoxious "cursed child", but suddenly saw the girl's dirty but delicate and lovely face, and couldn't help but show a mouthful of ugly yellow teeth, "Little girl, do you want to eat?" ”
The body nodded before consciousness, "I want to eat." You have to be obedient. The peddler smiled lewdly, his black claw-like hand pinching the girl's slender shoulder. glanced around, grabbed the girl's arm, and dragged her staggered to the small alley on the side.
Tearing ——, girl's already tattered clothes were torn off, she subconsciously hugged her naked chest, and her incomplete body made the vendor's face flush with excitement, and her nose was ugly and eagerly fanned.
The girl, who seemed to have just understood her situation, suddenly screamed, pushed away the hairy vendor and wanted to escape.
How could the hawker let go of the mutton that reached his mouth, stretched out to stop it, the girl screamed and highlighted the barb with her five fingers, and grabbed the hawker's arm fiercely, and the blood gushed like a spring for a while.
"Holy! , you little slut, damned son of the damned, how dare you hurt me! The annoyed peddler pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, which was plated with a layer of metal holmium, "How can a creature like you be born, you should die!" ”
The dagger pierced the air and stabbed at the panicked girl with the sound of the wind, revealing a pair of pointed snow-white cat ears from between the girl's messy hair, and a pair of red eyes full of panic.
"Stop!"
With a loud shout, a clever figure jumped through the air and snatched the dagger from the peddler's hand, "Such a good dagger is really a waste in the hands of you scum!" ”
The person who came was a woman in a strong suit, with long black straight black hair floating smoothly behind her head, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, snow skin and red lips, and she was actually a beautiful young woman.
"Who told you to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?" The peddler was robbed of the dagger, and he was reluctant to do so, so he had to pretend to be tough and vicious.
"In front of whom do you call Lao Tzu?" His neck was cold, and a paw several inches long with a cold light crossed his neck, as if he only needed a little force, and his neck was about to be separated from his head.
"Don't, don't kill me." The peddler's legs trembled, and he regretted why he had been reluctant to give up the dagger just now, if he had been robbed of the dagger and ran, he would not have fallen into the dangerous situation he was in now.
"I heard that you are very familiar with the people of the Wang family." The woman in sunglasses turned her head, and her red lips gently spat out a sentence, "Don't say you don't know, otherwise where did your supplies come from?" ”
The peddler was as cunning as a fox, and he knew from this sentence that these two people should have come for the Wang family. For the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to hide it, he was just an errand boy, taking the things that the old ladies of the Wang family couldn't eat or didn't like to eat in exchange for valuable gold and gems for them, and he just took some benefit money from it, and he couldn't afford to put his life here.
"It was Wang Sanye who gave me the supplies, I was just entrusted by him to help him collect some precious jewelry, and there was really nothing else...... What he didn't dare to say was that Wang Sanye asked him to secretly abduct those lonely "cursed children", whether it was abduction or food temptation, anyway, when the time came, he would hand over the money and the other hand.
"This is the end of the world, Wang Sanye is a man again, what's the use of him asking for jewelry?" Wang Yuqi sneered, and Wang Yulan behind him sneered and handed over the claws, the sharp claws pierced into the flesh of the neck, and the fresh red blood gushed out happily.
"Don't, don't, I said, I said it's not okay?" As soon as the crotch of the peddler's pants was hot, a foul smell came out, "My wife, TMD is Wang Sanye's mistress, he gave me these benefits in order to gag my mouth, but he has a problem, he likes children, especially those 'cursed children', and has already taken nine children from my hands......"
