……

"What's your name?" An Ning put away the dagger, he didn't have the idea of killing this girl, but my sister said before that in the wasteland, it is not easy for women to survive, and my sister is a woman.

The girl ate the jerky, her brows furrowed, the smell of blood in it made her feel uncomfortable, she barely swallowed, she said, "Xiao Luo." ”

"Xiao Luo?" An Ning nodded and asked, "How did you come to the wasteland?" ”

"Of course they were caught, otherwise the god of the underworld would be angry." Xiao Luo swallowed the last bite of dried meat, and looked at An Ning again, she was not full.

An Ning shook his head and said, "It's impossible for me to give you food anymore." ”

He is not a good person, he is not a relative, and it is already his limit to be able to give a piece of jerky.

Xiao Luo nodded, the sensible one didn't ask, just licked his lips with his tongue.

The cave was silent, and An Ning thought about what the girl had just said.

Pluto?

This was not the first time he had come into contact with a newcomer from outside, nor was it the first time he had heard of this deity.

In the mouths of these outsiders, the wasteland where tranquility dwells is called the Cursed Land, and it is the god of the Cursed who controls it.

But according to An Ning's understanding, no one in the wasteland believed in this god, and even when he asked about his sister before, the expression on her sister's face was so sarcastic, disdainful, and spurned.

"Xiao Ning, there is no god of the underworld in the wasteland, our faith is the god of worry." My sister's words seemed to be still in my ears, but the person was missing, although An Ning later learned that he and his sister seemed to be the only ones in this wasteland who believed in Sanssouci, like a lie made up by his sister, but it didn't matter anymore.

This is my sister's faith, and he will stick to it.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Luo broke the silence.

"Brother?" An Ning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a strange feeling, strange and familiar, "Why do you call me brother?" ”

"Because my brother is older than Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo has just turned ten years old this year. Xiao Luo said as a matter of course, and then looked at An Ning's waist, "Brother, I'm thirsty." ”

An Ning looked at Xiao Luo's eyes with some incomprehension, his empty eyes were shining, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Shouldn't this look be hopeless?

Xiao Luo blinked, "I'm afraid, but my brother gave me food, so Xiao Luo is not afraid." ”

An Ning was silent, and after a moment, handed the kettle over, "Save some drink." ”

If Kuroko was here, she must have been killed, right? An Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, the first reason why she was separated from Kuroko to pick up waste was that the benefits were too small and difficult to distribute, especially when you became an adult, the amount of food became larger, and the hardships you needed to pay were more, and it was easy for two people to starve to death if they picked up waste together.

And the second reason is that he is not as ruthless as Kuroko, because of this, the two of them quarrel a lot, especially when they meet female scavengers, one wants to kill, and the other is willing to release.

"Xiao Luo, can you see me in the dark?" An Ning took the initiative to bring up the topic, which he was more curious about, a skill that only people who have lived in the wasteland for more than ten years will have.

"That's right, Xiao Luo can see his brother's, and he can see it very clearly." Xiao Luo said with a smile, a little show-off, this is the first time An Ning has seen her smile, very simple.

At this time, it was completely dark, and even An Ning could only see Xiao Luo's face vaguely.

Clear? An Ning looked at the dark world outside the mine, his eyes changing.

"Xiao Luo, what do you see I have drawn?" An Ning walked to the other side of the mine, drew a circle with a dagger, and asked calmly.

Xiao Luo nodded, took a sip of water, and said confidently: "Brother, you drew a circle, this is not difficult for Xiao Luo." ”

An Ning smiled, but there was a monstrous wave in his heart, looking at Xiao Luo's gaze, like looking at a monster, with a little envy.

Xiao Luo may really be a hunter, and he shouldn't be an ordinary hunter.

"Roar—roar—"

The roars of beasts came into the mine, and An Ning turned his head to look outside the cave, where there were several vague shadows wandering there, wanting to come in, as if he was afraid of something.

"Brother, there are monsters!" Xiao Luo squatted behind An Ning in fear, his eyes looked at the entrance of the cave, and his fingers trembled and pointed out of the cave.

An Ning looked indifferent and said, "They don't dare to come in, there are gray stones here." ”

Whenever night approaches, an infinite number of monsters appear in the wasteland, and these monsters, collectively referred to as the Scourge Beasts.

No one knows where these plague beasts come from, or why they disappear during the day.

At first, there were hunters who killed the plague beast, but did not leave any corpse, and when the plague beast died, it would turn into ashes and scatter the earth, and the next day it would reappear and be killed again, and over time, the hunter confirmed one thing, it was the same plague beast, because when this plague beast saw him, there was anger in his eyes.

It was at that time that people discovered that these plague beasts were afraid of gray stone, and there were houses and even cities made of gray stone.

Otherwise, humanity would have perished long ago.

An Ning said these slowly, and Xiao Luo listened very seriously, with a bright look in his eyes.

"Brother, the hunter is the hero who protects the village, right?" Xiao Luo asked expectantly.

An Ning was stunned, hero? Protecting the village? Are you sure we live in the same world?

Looking at the look in Xiao Luo's eyes, An Ning thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the hunter is a hero or not, but he must be a strong man." ”

"Strong!" The look in Xiao Luo's eyes was even more dazzling, "Xiao Luo will also become a strong man in the future." ”

An Ning was silent, he couldn't deny this, but who would say anything about the future?

He found a comfortable place to lie down, using his backpack as a pillow, under the dark night sky, I don't know if Kuroko escaped, he will wait here for Kuroko for two days, and in these two days, he will try to become a hunter.

After taking a deep look at Xiao Luo, An Ning closed his eyes, he was very tired.

Xiao Luo next to him thought about it, leaned on An Ning and lay down, looked at An Ning, also closed his eyes, and fell asleep deeply.

Hearing the sound of even breathing, the blade in An Ning's hand disappeared without a trace.

……

When An Ning opened his eyes, he found Xiao Luo squatting alone in the dark, looking at the sunlight outside the cave in fear.

"Brother, Xiao Luo can't get out." Xiao Luo's eyes were red and he sobbed lowly.
