The group rushed into the room, only to see that the woman who was lying on the side of the bed just now had climbed onto the bed at some point, holding her dead daughter in her arms, and a sharp dagger was inserted into her chest.

She didn't die right away, Ye Yu looked at her eyes that had lost their lustre, his heart was sour, he stepped forward and leaned into the woman's ear and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you take revenge." ”

The woman's empty eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and she exhaled the last breath of air.

Ye Hao stood up, the two corpses on the bed seemed to be silently mocking him, the little girl Maomao was quietly leaning on her mother's arm, those big eyes were still staring, Ye Hao felt as if she was looking at herself, he didn't feel horror, just a knife-like heartache.

"Bury them." Scar whispered behind Ye Yu: "Just outside the backing city, according to the rules of the backing city, let's bury them in water." ”

Ye Yu nodded, and Scar stepped forward and picked up the woman's body. Ye Yu took a deep breath and reached out to slowly close Maomao's eyes.

"I'm sorry, please rest in peace."

Maomao's eyes closed, but Ye Hao knew that she would not rest in peace, this was just a lie to herself, in this cruel and dark world, who can rest in peace?

There is a curfew in the backer city, in fact, few people who are blind in the black light are willing to come out, but Scar is promoted to a third-level genetic modification warrior, and his status is naturally different, plus Mr. Yu's special care for Ye Yu has spread all over the backing city quickly, so Li Laosan, who is guarding the door, politely opened the city gate for them, anyway, these people will have a bright future in the future, even if it is a little lenient, it is not impossible.

The big river outside the mountain city was still surging, Ye Hao was holding the little girl in her arms, her soft body was as light as nothing, Ye Hao wrapped her in a thin quilt, covering her tortured body.

At the base of the city wall, Scar found an old man, there are many people who can not settle in the backing city gathered here, shelter under it, although they can not enjoy the protection of the city wall, but the backing city itself is a deterrent, the old man has many well-tied rafts, he depends on selling this for a living, Scar gave him fifty backer coins, bought a large raft.

He lowered the raft into the water and placed the woman's body on it. Ye Yu walked over and carefully placed Maomao's body in the crook of her mother's arm, and the little girl seemed to be lying in her mother's arms.

"There is a huge lake downstream of the mountain town, and the elders say that if they put their corpses in the river, the river will take away their souls, and until the end of the river, they will find eternal sleep in the lake, away from all the noise and distractions of this world." Scar's voice was low and hoarse, like a distant soul-calming song.

Gently pushing the raft and letting it float away from the riverbank, the impact of the river carried the raft into the distance, and Ye Yu finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

In the sky was a huge blood moon, the cold moonlight was sprinkled, the river splashed with silver waves, and in the middle of the waves, the small raft rose and fell, and gradually faded away. There was silence all around, only Ye Hao's cry echoed in the night sky. What is the loss of a small life to the world?

The raft finally disappeared from view, perhaps it had been swallowed by the river, right? Maybe their bodies will never reach that end, that place where their souls rest, but so what? After all, it's just rotting under the cold water.

"Let's go, Ye Yu."

"You guys go first, I want to sit here."

Scar nodded silently and left with the rod and pillar.

Ye Yu sat by the river, letting the river water wet his clothes, he just stared blankly at the direction where the raft disappeared, feeling that something in his heart was slowly dying.

Someone came from behind, Ye Yu turned his head and found that the person who came turned out to be Xiao Yunfei. He didn't speak, just walked up to Ye Yu and sat down side by side with him, Ye Yu didn't speak, didn't ask why he was still here, the two just sat quietly, watching the river continue to flow.

After a long time, Ye Hao smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you know, when I killed that scumbag, I didn't vomit, and I didn't feel scared, you are right, I am actually a hypocritical person, I do not adhere to any morality, and I am not the embodiment of justice." But I don't regret it, if I had been given another chance, I would still have killed that scumbag. ”

He picked up a stone, threw it into the river, looked at the splash of the stone and said: "I won't be afraid of killing anymore, like you said, I have always lived in my own world, today I finally understand, if this world is like this, then so be it, I will choose to accept it." ”

Xiao Yunfei looked at Ye Yu and said in a low voice: "Actually, that day, the reason why I chose you was not because you gave that woman money. ”

Ye Yu glanced at him, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this.

"The real reason is because you crouched down and put that coin in the woman's hand." Xiao Yunfei raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. "A lot of people have given money to beggars, maybe they're just bored, they just want to show off their wealth, maybe it's out of boredom. I've seen a lot of people who throw their money on the ground and watch with relish as the beggars crawl over, pick it up, and kowtow to them with a grateful face, which gives them a psychological pleasure. ”

Xiao Yunfei turned his head and looked at Ye Hao's face: "But you are different, when you squatted down and put the coin in that woman's hand, I knew that you were really pitying that person, and you put her on the same status as you." ”

Xiao Yunfei said, and suddenly laughed softly: "People like you...... There are very few fools like you in this world, maybe not many, but ah...... People like you...... It's really rare. ”

Ye Yu was silent, the education he received since he was a child was that everyone was equal. In modern society, although there is inevitably some discrimination, such as urban people discriminating against rural people, and white-collar workers discriminating against street sweepers, but even if it is discrimination, it is only because of social status and the like, in terms of personality, few people really think that they are naturally superior.

However, for Ye Hao, such an "ordinary" thinking has become a rare thing in this last days, and people have become selfish and indifferent. The world has become a vast jungle, and only strength is the only measure.

Ye Yu...... Don't be swallowed up by this world, in this darkness, as long as there is a little light......" Xiao Yunfei's eyes were no longer cold, and Ye Yu could see the sadness hidden in the depths of his eyes that could not be dissolved.

Xiao Yunfei...... What is hidden in this person's heart? His cold appearance, his indifference to others, and his deep sadness, his past probably has some story.

Standing up and patting the dirt on the mountain, Xiao Yunfei regained that indifferent expression.

"I'm leaving, I'll go to the upper reaches of the river, I guess you've already met Mr. Devour, he should let you go to the liaison station tomorrow, and then he'll ask about me, you don't have to hide it, you don't have to lie a word, including my words tonight. Tell him all, with his intellect, there is no point in lying. ”

"Mr. Eater, who is it?"

Xiao Yunfei was silent for a while and did not answer his question. Turning and walking towards the upper reaches of the river, in the distance, his words came from the air: "Get stronger, Ye Yu." In this world, weakness is sin. If you want to change the world, you must first have the power to change the world, no matter what truth you have in your heart, people who don't have power don't have the right to speak. Pain and tears are meaningless, only by becoming strong can you protect what is in your heart. I'm going to keep going, and if you don't want to see today's tragedy again, try to catch up. ”

Xiao Yunfei's figure melted into the dark night, leaving only Ye Yu sitting there, like a statue.

Slowly, he clenched his fists, heard the crunch of bones, and understood that he had finally become a member of this world. He is no longer the college student of a hundred years ago, and this is not the world of a hundred years ago, this is a wasteland, a place where morality and humanity are rotten. So, he laughed.

"Ye Yu, welcome to the end times."
