Chapter 2: Doomsday Survivors
Yang Yi used to be an ordinary but not very ordinary person on the earth, he was a child of a big nouveau riche, and his father was born in **. Yang Yi has lived a comfortable but disliked life since he was a child, and he successfully completed the aristocratic primary school, the aristocratic junior high school, and then successfully started the life of the aristocratic high school. While he was still looking forward to his high school life and his future leisurely and boring life, suddenly a catastrophe struck. Without warning, the entire earth suddenly changed, the sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the mountains shook, like the end of the world. Fortunately, Yang Yi was saved by a fortune teller in the catastrophe, and then even more fortunate to be rescued by a mysterious force. I don't know if it was the god in the sky who was merciful and mobilized the divine power or the life of a certain high-level civilization who launched the rescue proposal for the low-level civilization, in short, the earth-star humans who survived the catastrophe were protected, and since then, Yang Yi and these surviving earth-star people have been living under the dark underground.
"It's time to pick up food." Yang Yi thought to himself as he walked along the narrow tunnel, the only source of light in the tunnel being the sparse moss-like plants clinging to the earthen wall overhead, which glowed faintly in the darkness. At first glance, these lights look like beautiful stars, but in reality, these fire-like lights are not enough to illuminate the tunnel, and it is impossible to see people a few steps away in the dimly lit tunnel.
Yang Yi walked through the tunnel from memory, turning around from time to time into a larger tunnel, and as time went by, the tunnel he was in became wider and wider, and he also met more and more people in the same company. Most of these people are also like Yang Yi, ragged and unkempt, and some of them have dull eyes and numb expressions, like walking dead. The apocalyptic blow and more than two years of dark underground life have taken a huge toll on the physical and mental health of human beings, and many people still don't want to believe that their lives have changed so dramatically.
Similarly, the experience of more than two years has also changed Yang Yi a lot, in the past, he never cared about his family and outsiders, only he was happy, and others could be happy, but now he has learned how to live with compromise.
At this time, the pedestrians in the tunnel had the same destination, it was a large cavern several feet high, and the dome of the large cave was crawling with glowing moss, which made the large cave look much brighter than the other places. There were nearly a hundred people standing in the big cave, these people were divided into several small groups and lined up neatly, as if waiting to receive something, among them, more than a dozen people were wandering outside the team, showing off their strength to maintain order, and one was unhappy and would yell at the people in line, fists and kicks. Everyone here obediently lined up, and they had to be accompanied by smiling faces when they were beaten and scolded one by one. These more than ten people have gray cloth ribbons tied around their arms, they are members of Qin Kun's gang on the Earth Star, and the gray cloth ribbon is the symbol of Qin Kun's gang members.
"Cut, the people who do Qin Kun are really stylish, a group of little minions." Yang Yi despised the arrogance of these people with disdain in his heart.
Disdainful and disdainful, Yang Yi still silently chose to line up.
Yang Yi also inherited his father's "mantle" when he was in middle school before, and engaged in mobs, campus gangsters or something, although he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but he had seen the world since he was a child, so he despised the arrogance of these Qin Kunhui's little minions.
In fact, Yang Yi is now considered a peripheral member of the Qin Kun Society, and he does not have a gray cloth ribbon tied to his arm, because he is not qualified to become a full member and wear a gray cloth ribbon, which means that his status in the Qin Kun Association is even lower than these little minions who are despised by him.
"Hey, isn't this Yang Dashao?"
"Haha, our Yang Da Shao has come to pick up the food in person."
Although Yang Yi chose to line up silently, the idioms of Qin Kunhui here all recognized him, and when they saw him, they jokingly sneered, obviously their attitude towards Yang Yi was not so friendly.
Yang Yi was silent, many of these people had been bullied by him in the past, because he, Yang Dashao, was the only son of the previous Qin Kun Hui leader. Now that Yang Yi is down, they will naturally not let go of this opportunity to humiliate the once high-flying and domineering help of their only son.
"Brother Yang is here, he just went offline, come forward."
Seeing Yang Yi at the back of the line, a young man with a gray cloth ribbon unreasonably pushed aside the crowd in line and came over to greet Yang Yi.
The young man has two long scars on his right cheek, which looks a little scary.
The "offline" that the young people refer to is actually disconnecting from the world of Azeroth and returning to the Earth Star, and the people of the Qin Kun Society who maintain order here are all people who cannot enter the world of Azeroth, and so far only a few people have been able to pass the physical test to obtain the qualification to enter the world of Azeroth.
"I'm here to get the food." Yang Yi said coldly, the other party was always too enthusiastic about him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Let Brother Yang receive the 'elixir' first, and the old rule is 'three donations'." Jack shouted, and then enthusiastically pushed Yang Yi down in the middle of the big cave.
Yang Yi cut in line, but none of the people present dared to say anything, and all of them honestly watched Yang Yi being pushed down in the middle.
In the middle of the big cave, there was a blue circle of light suspended in the middle of the hole, the diameter of the circle was more than a meter long, and Yang Yi was pushed to the bottom of the aperture.
"Three......" Yang Yi spread out his hands, let his palms take on the shape, and silently recited the number "three" in his heart.
Suddenly, a bright blue light curtain was pulled out from the blue light circle, and the light curtain descended to cover Yang Yi.
After a blink of an eye, the light curtain disappeared, and three white balls the size of a baby's fist appeared on Yang Yi's hands, and the white balls were crystal clear and faintly glowing with colorful glow.
These white balls are actually some unknown synthetic food, and an adult can eat one pill a day to provide basic energy for life. Because these balls are extraordinary in appearance and can fill the stomach and save lives, people who rely on these balls to sustain life call it "elixir".
Each person can receive one pill per day, up to a maximum of three pills at a time.
After Yang Yi walked out of the aperture, he handed one of the pills to Jack, which was the protection money that Yang Tao gave them. Everyone here has to take three pills at a time, because these people with gray ribbons are watching from the sidelines, and these people don't take a notebook to keep a record of the people who come to collect them, anyway, they recognize that every time they come to pick up the balls, they have to hand over one pill.
After paying the protection fee, Yang Yi stood in place and put a pill in his mouth, he quickly bit the ball and swallowed it into his stomach. This synthetic food has no taste, but after swallowing it, the body is warm and dry, and it can make people feel full, which makes Yang Yi, who is already hungry, lift his spirits.
Yang Yi held the wooden stick and carefully went back to his dirt room with the remaining pills, now he had just swallowed a pill, even if the pills on his body were snatched away on the way back, he could barely hold on until the next time to receive the balls.
