Chapter 1: Goods
"Today, there was a Warcraft invasion on Black Mamba Street, and the Warcraft was finally repelled with the unremitting efforts of the staff of the inner wall, but the Xuanwu Outer Wall is slow to heal itself, please stay away from Black Mamba Street before recovery, and the residents of Area F should evacuate first and take refuge in other areas..."
"Repeat..."
Lee turned off the radio.
"Brother?"
Xiao Xiao, who was sitting at the dining table on the side, looked at Li Mingyao in puzzlement.
"Oh, it's fine."
Li Mingyao smiled and shook his head, but his thoughts drifted somewhere.
"I don't know what happened to my brother and mother."
Li Mingyao sighed, five years ago, he was originally living in District D with his family, but under the attack of a demonic beast, he accidentally separated from his family, thanks to the kind Uncle Xiao who took him in, he was lucky to survive at the age of ten.
For some reason, this time after hearing that the Warcraft had invaded Area F again, he always had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
"It should be fine."
This time the Demonic Beast invasion was much smaller than the previous one, and it only attacked one block, presumably still afraid of the power of the Alpha Emperor.
I shouldn't be so unlucky.
Li Mingyao could only comfort himself like this.
Now the place where he is the closest area A to the inner wall, and Uncle Xiao's daughter Xiao Xiao has successfully awakened the magic of the ice and water system not long ago and obtained the qualification to go to the inner wall to study.
However, tuition is always a big problem, first of all, there is no one at home who has a relationship with the people on the inner wall, and secondly, Xiao Xiao's awakening is not optimistic about the ice water system, so the tuition fee, the inner wall should not be relaxed at all.
Thinking of this, Li Mingyao couldn't help but sigh again.
He looked at the time, and it was time to make an appointment with his best friend.
"It's time for me to go, wash the dishes after eating, go to bed early, and remember, don't open the door no matter who knocks."
Li Mingyao asked while putting on a shabby coat.
"Do you still have to be on duty tonight?"
Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice.
“... Yes."
Li Mingyao smiled and rubbed Xiao Xiao's head, then turned around and bowed to the portrait of Uncle Xiao on the cabinet beside him.
Uncle Shaw, as a magistrate on the outer wall, was tragically killed in a recent attempt to suppress the riot.
But Uncle Xiao has always been a lifesaver for himself, so no matter what, he has to send Xiao Xiao to the inner wall to get rid of the outer wall, which is a human purgatory.
"Brother is gone, remember, no matter who knocks on the door, don't open it."
"Hmm!"
Li Mingyao gently closed the door, and after that, Xiao Xiao immediately closed all the curtains in the house, and pushed the wooden cabinet to block the door with all his strength.
Li Mingyao pushed the door of the house, and only after making sure that it was safe nodded reassuringly, turned and walked into the gloomy staircase.
Since Uncle Xiao left, almost everyone around him coveted Xiao Xiao's appearance and identity, as long as they could have a little relationship with Xiao Xiao, they could enter the inner wall through the identity of the magician's family.
And the next uncle Li Mingyao met in the corridor was the kind of person who behaved very obviously.
"Yo, brother-in-law is going to work."
An uncle who is nearly 40 years old asks a fifteen-year-old boy to call his brother-in-law, and Li Mingyao doesn't know how he opened his mouth.
However, after learning from Uncle Xiao for so long, Li Mingyao is not afraid of this gangster-like existence.
One hand covered the uncle's mouth, and the other hand slammed the uncle's stomach a few times, and then Li Mingyao slammed the uncle against the wall.
"I wanted to go to you, but you sent it yourself. You remember it for me, if you let me know from Xiao Xiao that you are harassing her, don't blame me for being polite. ”
A dagger was attached to the middle-aged man's abdomen, and Li Mingyao showed a ruthlessness that was completely inappropriate for his age.
"Look at what you said, it looks like you didn't plan to enter the inner wall through the identity of that Niko, cough, but do you think you really have a chance? You are just a wild species adopted by Uncle Xiao, and you are not even related by blood, so you may not recognize it in the inner wall.
"I wonder you just want to eat alone, do you?"
"I'll let you fart!"
Li Mingyao stabbed him in the thigh: "Don't think that everyone is as rubbish as you, in short, you remember, and then find Xiao Xiao and I, and I will kill you!" ”
Lee Mingyao withdrew the knife and let the man sit on the ground.
Seeing Li Mingyao's figure gradually disappear in front of him, the man couldn't help but spit out: "Damn, what are you pretending to be clean?" ”
... ...
Downstairs, Li Mingyao noticed a van parked at the intersection, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one around, Li Mingyao trotted all the way into the car.
"Brother Yao, can you give up when you have enough Wen Cun?"
A man with dyed yellow hair in the driver's seat quipped.
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Tao, that's my sister."
Li Mingyao hurriedly waved his hand, closed the car door, and defended himself.
"Also, don't call me Brother Yao every day, I'm not as old as you."
"Hey, hey."
Taozi smiled, and the van drove slowly.
"By the way, what's the goods tonight?"
Li Mingyao looked inside the car curiously, and there was nothing else except a suitcase.
"That's it, the employer asked me to send it to Zone E, but the requirement was that I had to get out of the wall."
"Out of the wall?!"
Li Mingyao was taken aback, Area E is not too far from F, Area F was attacked by Warcraft not long ago, and when he went out of the wall at this time, wasn't he going to die?
Besides, you have to get out of the wall...
Li Mingyao looked at the box in a daze.
"Brother Yao, how much have you liked Xiaomei's tuition? Halfway through it didn't. ”
Li Mingyao was silent and shook his head.
"Xiaomei is twelve years old this year, and she is still awakened by the ice water department, if she can't enroll this year, I'm afraid that no one will want it next year."
Li Mingyao bit his lip and nodded helplessly.
Taozi picked up a bag from the co-pilot and threw it to Li Mingyao, from which a pistol and two cards fell out.
"This is just a deposit, it's enough for your sister to pay tuition, and when you finish this trip, the rest of the money is in hand, and it's not a problem to buy a house on the inner wall, don't touch it in the future?"
Li Mingyao swallowed, he picked up a crystal card, and the balance displayed on it made his heart flutter.
The car came to a sudden stop.
"How, do you want to do it? It's still too late to get out of the car. ”
Li Mingyao raised his head and looked at Taozi and found that his side face was already covered with sweat.
“... Well. ”
Li Mingyao nodded helplessly, with his current salary, he couldn't make up the tuition fees for entering the inner wall even if he sold the house.
"It's the first time and the last time."
Lee said, as if it would ease the guilt and tension in his heart.
He picked up the pistol and checked it, it was a pistol developed after the appearance of the demonic beast, it still had some effect on the low-level demonic beast, the pill was sufficient, if it was just along the outer wall, there should be no accidents.
Thinking of this, Li Mingyao's hand holding the gun couldn't help but tighten a little more, and his heart, which was still nervous, gradually calmed down.
