……

"My name is Anning."

"Safe and quiet."

"I heard from my sister that my mother gave me this name, but I don't have any impression of my mother."

"In the wasteland, no woman can survive after giving birth, and there is no hope of life here."

"It's like the night here, which brings nothing but despair."

"In the same way, I haven't seen my father, this person doesn't seem to exist, no one knows about him."

"Fortunately, I also have my sister with me, she taught me martial arts, taught me to kill, and taught me how to survive."

"My sister rarely talks to me about hunters, she doesn't want me to be a hunter, she says it's a curse."

"I don't care, as long as my sister is here, I can live a safe life, just like my name, I will live well."

"But how can luck always be with you?"

"When I was nine years old, it was dark and the wind stopped."

"I will never forget the day when the endless blackness buried the wasteland and plunged it into eternal silence, a darkness that even the scourge beasts would not touch."

"It was on that day that my sister left."

"She said she was going to find something, I don't know what it was, but it should be very important, but unfortunately I couldn't go with my sister, I was too weak, and my sister was different, she was a very strong hunter."

"Before leaving, my sister gave me a pendant, and she told me that Sanssouci would bless me."

"But I believe it's my sister's blessing."

"After all, the darkness took my sister, and I was waiting for my sister to return, but I still didn't wait for my sister until the food in the house was almost finished."

"I know, my sister won't be coming back."

"I know I'll have to be alone from now on."

"I didn't cry, because my sister said that An Ning is a man who stands up to the sky."

"I'm a man."

"I started scavenging, my physical weakness limited my receipt, but fortunately, due to my sister's residual power, my only receipt was not snatched by others."

"But the good times didn't last long, and when I was ten years old, I encountered the first crisis in my life, and my sister's reputation as a hunter could no longer protect me."

"I remember very well that it was a somewhat old man, and it was ridiculous that he actually tricked me into saying that it was my uncle and said that he would take care of me."

"But I know that he just wants to sell me, sell me to the mausoleum, and become a slave."

"Does he think I'm a fool?"

"Under my innocent smile, he was bewitched, and it wasn't until I slashed him in the neck with a knife that he thought of fighting back, what a fool."

"Scarlet blood spilled on my face, and I felt a clearness that I had never felt before, and even the gray sky seemed to become much clearer."

"Killing, it's so easy."

"Time seems to be reincarnated, and I began a repetitive life of scavenging."

"It wasn't until I was eleven that I met my first friend, Kuroko."

"I remember that day, he was lying on the ground like a reptile, half dead."

"When I saw him, he was really dark, even if it was heart."

"Compared to him, I feel very kind, at least I won't kill the people who saved me for profit."

"In his words, he only makes friends with the strong, and the weak don't deserve to have friends, so it can only be regarded as a group for warmth."

"As for us, maybe both."

"Since then, I have one more person on my scavenging path."

"Originally, our receipt was enough for us to live a better life, but for some reason, we were more and more divided."

"Finally, we became adults, and we were sixteen that year."

"At the same time, we are separated, and we can survive on our own, without having to huddle for warmth."

"But we all identify with each other in our hearts, and that's friends."

"And now, Kuroko is dead, he has not escaped the curse of the wasteland, and is buried in the ground."

"I'd love to avenge him, but I can't."

"Luckily, I died at my own hands."

The corners of An Ning's eyes were a little moist, and her pupils lost their brightness, just like others who had died in the wasteland all these years, like a dilapidated toy that had been abandoned.

……

The night obscured the sun, and the earth, which had been exposed to the sun for a day, finally ushered in a respite.

In the abandoned mines, whispers wander in the darkness.

"Brother, why haven't you come back yet? It's getting dark. ”

"Is my brother lying to Xiao Luo?"

"Brother's things, little Roco takes good care of them."

"Xiao Luo said, if my brother doesn't come back, Xiao Luo will find my brother."

In the corner, Xiao Luo looked at the sky and muttered to herself, around her, there were four shriveled corpses scattered, and from the frozen expressions on their faces, it could be seen how desperate they were before they died.

The plague beast roared, the night fell, and in the dark mine, a small figure walked out of the cave, and the big eyes were completely covered by black.

"Brother, Xiao Luo is coming to you!"

The voice was playful, with a little happiness and excitement, which silenced the countless calamity beasts around her, Xiao Luo opened her arms, embraced the darkness, and let the black beneath her engulf her.

In the trading house, the gray flames flickered, and the sand dove's hand turning the pages stopped, his brow furrowed, and one eye seemed to penetrate the stone house and look beyond the ruined city.

I don't know when it began, the area around the ruined city became unusually quiet, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard, not even the roar of the calamity.

But who knows what kind of murderous intentions are hidden in this quiet night.

The sand dove pondered for a moment, but finally failed to hold back the uneasiness in his heart, and the gray smoke condensed in the air, turning into a vulture.

In the black night sky, the vulture spread its wings, and with the light of humanity in its eyes, it flew towards the outside of the ruined city.

The sand dove's eyes closed, and images appeared in his mind.

The ruined city was as silent as ever, relying on the action of the gray stone, and no plague beast wanted to approach.

But strangely, outside the ruined city, there was also no movement of the plague beast, and the sand dove silently controlled the vulture to keep patrolling, he wanted to know what was going on.

Finally, just as he was getting more and more uneasy, a picture came into his mind through the vulture's eyes.

Just a few miles outside the ruined city, a petite figure sat stiffly on her knees, holding a cold corpse in her arms.

The sand dove's pupils constricted, it was peace!

He naturally knew about An Ning's death, but he didn't stop it, An Ning's sister was no longer there, and he didn't know if he could come back, he wouldn't invest more resources in An Ning's body, and releasing some kindness was enough for him.

What made him uneasy was that the girl who was holding An Ning, he didn't know!

To put it bluntly, in this wasteland, he knows everything about his peaceful life, and he will know who he killed and seen whomever he has seen.

But he didn't know anything about this girl.

Who is she?

At this moment, the kneeling girl seemed to sense something, and raised her head, her loose hair fluttering, revealing a pair of eyes that had no whites and had been dyed in black.

The girl looked at the vulture in the sky, her body trembled slightly, and two lines of black tears were left in the corners of her beautiful eyes.

"Is it you, killed my brother?"
