In the darkness, some messy footsteps sounded. Bumped into a chair and knocked off some books on the table.

At the moment when the weak voice sounded, the slightly thin figure squeezed past the voice.

It's like squeezing, though nothing is in front of him. But he really wanted to rush to the owner of the voice quickly.

But he can't run forward too recklessly, it's too messy here, he needs to slow down, avoid the messy pots and pans, make too loud noise, and cause the neighbors to knock on the door angrily, which is not good.

So he walked forward eagerly, while pressing his speed hard, and a short distance forced him out of a crowded feeling.

In the dark, a figure sat in the game room, she didn't know how long she had been sitting like that, there was no wheelchair next to her, so she could only sit like that.

The other people's eyes adjusted to the darkness, and within the pitch darkness, Lu Yuan's outline became clear, he crossed the last obstacle, and slammed into the game room, his knees on the ground, and through the cold half-height steel, he fused tightly with the smaller figure, the same quiet, only a slight friction between some clothes.

"Hungry?"

After a long time, such a voice appeared, Lu Yuan asked.

"I'm hungry."

The girl's voice was still weak, but it somehow became extremely reassuring, as if the hug just now had bred boundless courage.

No one bothered the brother and sister, they embraced each other, Wang Wu stopped complaining, he walked into the darkness on the other side, and when he came out again, he had some food and water in his hand.

How this emaciated girl managed to hold on without a drop of water for a week, no one knows, and no one asks. She was in a wheelchair, and the banging sound showed that she was really hungry and hungry.

There was a white line in the sky......

"It's almost time, we still have some way to go." The demon fox said lightly.

Lu Yuan's eyes looked through the window and looked at the sky: "Wait a little longer, Ah Li is really hungry." ”

......

......

The night is in the final battle with the sun, although they know that no matter how hard they try, they will eventually be replaced by the sun, they have been like this for thousands of years, but they still do not want to fade away, just like the sun before the night comes.

Black, black, white and white, nothing will last long.

The city has no name, or the Creator once mentioned the name of the city, but it forgot.

The headquarters of the Ark Group is located in the center of the city, so it can be regarded as one of the most [ark-like] places in the world, with light rails running through the sky like cobwebs, towering buildings, and neon lights that are so psychedelic that they are headaches, showing colorful colors everywhere.

But there won't be too many people on the streets, especially in the early morning, as if the hustle and bustle of last night was an illusion of prosperity.

But today, the city is a little different, and at 6:30 in the morning, countless people are dressed up, living in their pajamas, and taking to the streets.

They were going to see a public execution.

The people of this city have never seen the death penalty, and they don't even know that there is such a punishment in the laws of this world.

Maybe it was added temporarily, whatever.

They just wanted to see the excitement, and remembered that more than ten centuries ago, there was a place called Caishikou, where vegetables were not bought, but where executions were carried out, and many people were beheaded there, and at that time, people also liked to see the death penalty.

The citizens did not know the person who had been executed, and they did not care, but they just gathered together, looked at the man on his knees, looked at the notice with this man's crimes, and began to abuse him wantonly, as if he had always been a righteous man who was jealous and hateful.

Then the executioner's hand fell, and the head rolled away, and everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and then turned back to buy vegetables.

Perhaps it is because people often gather here to watch the death penalty that the small vendors who buy vegetables will gather, and gradually a vegetable market will be formed.

In this way, it seems that no matter how far technology has evolved, people are still evolving only technology, not people, as they have done for countless years.

......

On a business car, there are several people sitting, and with the flow of people, they are moving in the same direction.

"These people wake up so early." The Prophet looked out the window at the flow of people.

"This is the earliest day they have had in nearly a decade." Lu Yuan drove the car and said lightly.

"You don't seem to be too obnoxious, you see......" [Falling Hammer] pointed to a row of pedestrians outside the window, dressed in black and wearing wide hats, led by several people holding huge banners with words like "Apostle" and "Savior" written on them.

"Of course, I've been working hard in this world for at least a while, and there will always be some people who resonate." Lu Yuan said, and then smiled helplessly: "Actually, I originally wanted to use more than ten years to slowly change people's views on the world, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would have to meet the world in the simplest and most brutal way." ”

"Of course, in human history, all compromises and changes have been accompanied by wars, and even if it's something like 'who washes the dishes tonight', you have to quarrel to decide the outcome." The Prophet shrugged his shoulders and muttered.

"Hehe, you don't speak like a prophet, it's too straightforward." Lu Yuan said, and then changed lanes.

The car drove up the bridge, the speed increased, he lowered the window, let the wind of the river around the city blow into the car, and looked into the distance, in the early morning fog, the shadow of the Carmen prison loomed, and the huge tower behind it reached into the sky, with no end in sight.

[Falling Hammer] looked at the scene in front of him: "You've always been the enemy of this kind of thing?" ”

"yes." Lu Yuan said.

"It's a miracle you're still alive."

"Thank you."

......

At 7:30, there was still an hour and a half before the death penalty of the [Apostle], Lu Yuan and others drove off the bridge across the river, and the flow of people gradually became crowded.

In the co-pilot, Ah Li faced the wind, her long hair was flying, she took off a head rope from her wrist and tied her long hair into a ponytail.

"Are you afraid?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Sort of." Ah Li replied.

"You look good in a ponytail, too."

"Really?" Ah Li's eyes showed obvious surprise, as if the girl she said was scared just now was not her at all.

"Well, really...... I went to get a wheelchair. Lu Yuan said.

The fog lifted, and the distant scene became clear.
