Chapter 242: The Mercy of the Strong
The boy cautiously searched the market for the supplies he needed.
Fortunately, the market hasn't been damaged too much, and most of the things are still in their original state, just covered with dust.
Even if there was no dust on it, the boy would not be tempted by these things, because so many years have passed, and even if the shelf life is long, it will have expired long ago.
Even if you eat something like this, you will eat it badly.
In today's world, no one can treat you when you are sick, and the medicine or something has long expired.
Therefore, the teenager should avoid injury and illness as much as possible, and the teenager will not have any interest in expired food like this.
He has only one goal, that is, no matter how many years it is, it is no problem, and now only these cans can be eaten, and nothing else.
In terms of water resources, there is tap water, although it is a bit dangerous to drink it directly, but after so many years of trying, the teenager found that there is no problem, so there is no need to worry about the water problem.
However, the fact that tap water can be used for so many years is already very doubtful for teenagers.
And he doesn't live on tap water alone, when it rains, he will also collect some rainwater to maintain his survival.
Now because of the shortage of food, the boy once again came to the ground to look for food, if it weren't for this, it is estimated that he would never leave the bottom for the rest of his life.
The boy carefully searched the market for the supplies he needed, but there were zombies roaming around.
He tried his best to avoid making noises to attract the attention of the zombies, but some things, no matter how careful he was, some special things would happen.
After a decade of abandonment, the market is in a dilapidated state, with cracks everywhere and walls at risk of collapsing at any moment.
The boy also didn't pay attention, stepped on a floor tile, and made a crisp sound.
After hearing the sound of his feet, the boy's heart was about to stop.
If he was found by a zombie, he would be completely finished.
After the sound sounded, the boy kept looking around, trying to move, but was afraid of making another noise.
Now he could only pray that the zombies hadn't noticed the movement.
Fortunately, the boy was lucky, and the zombies didn't notice this movement, and they still roamed around the market at will.
Maybe for the zombies, this little movement is not enough to attract their attention.
Either way, at least the teenager is safe now.
The boy was not relieved when he saw safety, because he was afraid that the breath he emitted from taking a deep breath would attract the attention of the zombies.
He had seen it before, a person was discovered by a zombie who was impossible to find him because of a deep breath, and he knew everything after that.
So the boy didn't dare to exhale at will, and even breathed carefully, for fear of being discovered by zombies.
But even so, the boy patted his chest lightly, allowing his heart to calm down a little.
After completely relaxing, the boy once again searched for the supplies he needed.
It's about his life, and he won't give up until he has to.
If you give up here, you'll either be eaten by zombies or starved to death.
Anyway, it's all death, and even if it is death, he has to fight.
But he was lucky, he was not found by any zombies along the way, and soon found the supplies he had been looking for in the market.
The young man was very excited to see the cans on the shelves, but he did not forget to observe the situation around him.
There are no zombies around, so it's very safe.
After confirming this, the boy immediately began to collect cans, packing his back to the brim.
Here, the teenager made a mistake.
Food is important, but it's not right to bring too much, which will affect your actions, and it's easy to be discovered by zombies.
But for the teenager, he doesn't care so much anymore, and after eating this meal, who knows that there is no next meal, so he can bring as much as he can.
After filling the back package, the boy showed a happy smile.
But when he put the backpack on his back again, his body dropped significantly, and it seemed that the cans full of the backpack had taken a burden on him.
After all, he was just an ordinary person, and slowly a backpack of canned food was still too difficult for an eighteen-year-old boy like him.
Even if you have been exercising continuously in the past ten years, it is only the level of ordinary people.
But the boy didn't care so much, he wouldn't take out anything that had already been put into his backpack.
Even if it was a burden on him, he had to bring the food back to his base, which was more important to him than his life.
Carrying a backpack full of cans, the boy began to return to his basement.
Now, however, his good fortune is over.
The boy was indeed lucky before, but that doesn't mean he will always be lucky.
The teenager who was just about to leave was buried by the sudden collapse.
This market, which has been ravaged by the apocalypse and natural disasters, has long become extremely fragile, and it is not surprising that it is now collapsing.
For the teenager, being buried like this is a good ending.
But he didn't give up, and kept struggling, and finally crawled out of the ruins.
Maybe it's a good choice to just keep it buried here, so that you don't have to face the tragic reality that follows.
The collapse of the building attracted the attention of the zombies, and basically all the zombies gathered here.
The boy who had just crawled out of the rubble saw the zombies coming up.
But now there was smoke and dust everywhere, and they hadn't noticed the boy yet, but it was only a matter of time.
When the smoke clears, the boy will appear in front of the zombies, and at that time, no matter how much the boy struggles, everything will be over.
The boy was unwilling and kept struggling, trying to crawl out of the rubble as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible.
But no matter how much he struggled, it was useless, a huge piece of concrete pressed against his body, and with his strength alone, he couldn't break free at all.
The surrounding smoke and dust continued to thinn, and the young man was very unwilling, constantly raising dust, wanting to continue to block the sight of the zombies.
But he is just an ordinary person after all, he has no power to change reality, no matter how hard he tries, the dust around him keeps falling, and his end is doomed.
The boy shed tears, and finally persevered until now, and finally lived for so many years, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this.
Unwilling, very unwilling, but there is no way, even if you don't want to accept this reality, you can only accept it now.
Looking at the pistol in his hand, the boy decided.
Instead of being killed by these zombies, it is better to kill yourself yourself, which is the last dignity that belongs to him as a human being.
The boy made up his mind and took the pistol and pointed it at his forehead.
And just as he was about to shoot, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky, and something similar to a mecha fell from the sky, killing all the zombies around him in an instant.
The mecha that fell from the sky was like a savior in the eyes of the young man, saving his desperate life.
Those zombies that were once untouchable in his eyes are now like little chickens in front of these mechas, without the slightest resistance, just like they are in front of zombies.
This gave the boy hope and a future of the end of the apocalypse.
He wants to touch this future, and he wants to reach the future of his dreams with these people.
The young man unconsciously stretched out his hands, wanting to touch the unattainable future, and couldn't help but shout out in his mouth: "Wait a minute, take me!" I...... Please let me go along! ”
The boy is extremely eager for the future, in this already desperate world, the hope that is finally seen, the boy must board this vehicle to the future no matter what!
He hasn't given up yet, he's not done yet. Now everything has just begun, his life has just begun, he doesn't want to end like this, it's not over yet!
At this time, the pilot of a mecha saw the young man who stretched out his hands towards him, and he couldn't help but subconsciously stretch out his hands to hold the helpless and pitiful hands of the young man.
At this moment, the young man smiled, and the smile that flowed from his heart was incomparably dazzling.
This is the first time in the past ten years that a teenager has smiled and felt genuinely happy.
It seems that it is also the reason for the excessive excitement, and the boy faints after grasping the future he longs for.
After the boy fainted, the surrounding mecha pilots began to talk.
"What is this guy going to do? Just dispose of it, or take it back? ”
Hehe, a person often thinks that he has grasped hope and has seen an incomparably glorious future, but he does not realize that he has never escaped this despair.
It's just that he jumped into a bigger cage, and hope is nothing more than his self-righteousness.
Hopes like him can be shattered at any moment.
But this time, it seems that Lady Luck has favored him again.
"Now that we are very short of combat power, sending this guy to our 'father' may be able to be of some use in the future."
Maybe it's out of pity, seeing a young man who finally caught hope, but he wants to destroy this hope with his own hands or something, maybe he feels unbearable, so he made such a result.
Sure enough, in this world, the weak have no right to decide their own destiny at all, and the hope of living depends on the mercy of the strong.
If the other party doesn't have the slightest pity for him here, then he may die here.
But he was lucky, incredibly lucky.
Just because of a moment of mercy, his fate changed completely.
This may be the mercy of the strong.
