"Zhang He"

The name, according to his adoptive mother, was engraved on a metal nameplate in his swaddling clothes.

Of course, apart from the nameplate, there are no other clues about his identity, and according to his adoptive mother, Zhang Qiulian, he was sent to the door of his house on a late autumn evening.

You know, today, in 2135, is not a time of peace, but a time when there is no hope for the future, and the crisis of population decline has caused mankind to suffer a serious shortage of labor, so population has become an extremely scarce resource.

According to the laws formulated by the Tario Council, the unified power on the earth, abandoning his children is a very serious crime, after all, if he can't afford to raise it, he can also hand it over to the relevant departments, but he obviously has a choice, there is a place to accept Zhang He, but his biological parents still chose to abandon it, which is something that Zhang He can't figure out.

Fortunately, Zhang He's life is still quite good, at least he met an extremely kind woman who raised herself as her own.

As for this terrible world, I am afraid that we have to simply trace the history of more than 100 years ago.

If it is said that human beings have evolved from apes to advanced intelligent life because of their curiosity, then in the same way, human beings have also used their curiosity to actively open up the space below 2w meters on the surface and release the evil creatures that biologists call abyssal beasts.

After only 5 years of appearance, they have taken a heavy toll on humans, not only losing their status at the top of the food chain, but also becoming preyed on, just like the cattle and sheep that humans once treated.

In the face of the endangered situation, the former world pattern has undergone earth-shattering changes, the concept of the so-called state has disappeared, a large number of people have been reduced to the rations of the abyssal beast, and the original living space has also been greatly reduced.

After decades of struggle, with the solidarity of human beings all over the world, a total of ten fortresses named after the underworld have been erected around the world, and the meaning of the name is the meaning of salvation, which means that this is the last territory of the human body and soul.

……

Sitting silently on the rooftop of the house, Zhang He, who is now eighteen years old, looks up at the night sky in early autumn.

Today seems to be an exceptionally refreshing night, with a bright moon and a clear breeze.

It stands to reason that it should be quite good to be able to enjoy the night view, but with the help of the moonlight shining on Zhang He's body, he can only see a kind of melancholy, with his arms on his bent knees, the whole person seems to be integrated into the night, and his whole body exudes depression.

Suddenly, a pair of calloused hands gently patted the back of Zhang He's head, and a thin body with a faint fragrance of tea sat beside him.

For a moment, the two figures fell silent on the rooftop.

As if the language had been organized, the adoptive mother Zhang Qiulian patted Zhang He's shoulder again and comforted: "The child ...... I don't know how to say it, you know that I am an ordinary person with no culture, and I can only contribute my meager strength as an ordinary person. ”

"But you see, I'm not alive and well, am I? And you and your sister were also admitted to the Azure Academy, isn't it a 1% genetic defect rate? It doesn't mean anything, not to mention the high-achieving students who graduated from the Azure Academy, in addition to the Devourer troops of the Woz Legion, you can also choose to go to the Halle Institute or the branch of the Dragon Source Consortium, right? These places are also very enviable job opportunities for others! ”

It's just that after hearing his adoptive mother's words, Zhang He didn't look up, but sighed, and a depressed voice came out of his head that was low in his chest and abdomen: "Mom, you really can't comfort people...... Yes, just a 1% genetic defect rate ruined my dream of growing up."

Looking at Zhang He's depressed appearance, Zhang Qiulian knew that the results of this genetic test really hit him hard.

Zhang He has been a very strong child since he was a child, which is why Zhang Qiulian chose to tell him the truth about his life when he was 10 years old, she knows very well that in the future, this child will never be bound by an ordinary family.

And this child is indeed very precocious, with filial piety and hard work to repay his three jobs, and even his grades in the Azure Academy are among the best every year, and he is determined to enter the Devourer Army under the command of the Woz Legion, and repay his nurturing grace with high honor and material.

Zhang Qiulian understands these very well, and she is also gratified from the bottom of her heart, and even feels honored for her decision to adopt this child at the expense of suffering when she was still pregnant.

However, all of this was photographed in the genetic test results of Zhang He's 18-year-old graduation and about to graduate.

"I've heard from colleagues that something similar happened in Fortress 5 of the Underworld in Asia, where someone paid off the inspectors, after all, it's only 1%, isn't it? It just so happens that we still have more than 100,000 contribution points, if it is not enough, I can find the leader to overdraft in advance. After Zhang Qiulian said this, she held Zhang He's arm with a slightly nervous expression.

It's just that Zhang He was silent for about ten seconds, and then looked sideways at the middle-aged woman beside him with an expressionless face, looking at the thin and haggard face in front of him, Zhang He's heart shook fiercely.

He knew very well that the woman in front of him, who had no half-dime blood relationship with him, could give everything for herself, and Zhang Heda felt happy in his heart for growing up in such a loving family.

As if he had made a decision in his heart, Zhang He's throat swallowed hard, and then gently patted the back of Zhang Qiulian's hand: "Mom, forget it, this may be my life, not to mention that although the 1% gene defect rate is not high, if you forcibly inject the alienation source liquid, there is still a probability of mutation, what can I do when the time comes?" I haven't had time to repay you for raising you! ”

After Zhang He said this, he seemed to have shaken off the shackles in his heart, got up and stood up straight, grabbed Zhang Qiulian's arm, and helped her up from the ground.

"Mom, it's autumn, it's cold on the ground, you're not in good health, let's go back to the house and rest! I've decided to join the branch of the Halle Institute, and in addition to the subjects related to devourers, my biotechnology credits are also very high, and the treatment there is relatively better! ”

Zhang He, who is 1.8 meters tall, lowered his head and smiled, looking at the woman who was only 1.6 meters tall, but this woman who was not tall or even skinny was a giant in his mind.

Her adoptive mother is greater than anyone else, and it is such a woman who provides herself with a sheltered home and a happy environment where she can grow up with peace of mind.

Zhang Qiulian stroked Zhang He's face with a face full of relief: "Good boy! Mom is really proud of you, you can't go if you can't go to the Devourer Army, although in recent years the Abyssal Beasts have stopped attacking humans on a large scale, but to put it selfishly, my son's life is much more important than the mission of human revival! ”

Gently stepped forward, Zhang He hugged Zhang Qiulian into his arms, hugged this thin body, and said softly: "Mom, don't worry, I will be filial to you, and I will take care of my sister for you, and the pillar of our family will be replaced by me in the future!" ”

Hearing Zhang He's soft words, Zhang Qiulian's heart trembled slightly, this scene she had dreamed of countless nights, the boy who used to snuggle up to her is now about to grow into a man who can support a family, maybe it's time for him to contact the nearby school-age girl?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiulian unnaturally showed a smile, and subconsciously hugged her son's solid back, but at this moment, Zhang Qiulian suddenly felt a tingling pain in her back, and then she began to feel weak, and even blackened in front of her eyes.

And Zhang He, who hugged her, felt that her mother's body suddenly became soft, and she couldn't even stand up straight without her own support......

Suddenly, there was a sharp but sarcastic voice from the rooftop where there was originally only Zhang He's mother and son.

"It's a scene of deep love between mother and son, I was moved to see it, if I had known that this task was like this, I should have asked for more commissions, hehe!"

An unusually burly figure walked out from the shadow of the ventilation fan on the platform, Zhang He found that this was an extremely rough-looking man, but his face was covered with heavy makeup, and more importantly, he was also about 1.8 meters tall, and he was wearing a short skirt, even when he spoke, this man's palm also had a feeling of scratching his head.

"What did you do to her?" Zhang He wrinkled his eyebrows and shouted.

"Don't get excited, young man, it's just a sedative, and you'll be treated the same soon!"

Accompanied by the transvestite man's words, Zhang He suddenly felt a short tingling pain in his back, and then the vision in front of him began to blur, and the dizziness of the strong column was born in the brain, and with the last strength, Zhang He knelt on the ground, hugged his mother and passed out.

"Good little Tony, it's not in vain that my mother loves you so much, and I am reliable in doing things!"

At this moment, not far from Zhang He's back, a short and bloated and fat young man smirked at the transformer man, and in his hand was a firearm like a syringe launcher.

It can be seen that this weapon should be specially designed to stun people, and the effect of sneak attacks is far greater than that of frontal shots.

"All that's left is to take it home and enjoy it! Employers have said that they can be happy with their goals! The transvestite man looked at Zhang He, his face was full of smirks, especially the last few notes of the words, which actually switched from a female voice to a man's rough voice, but such a change made the little Tony in his mouth come with a stupid smirk.

However, what the bandits who kidnapped Zhang He didn't know was that in the stairwell leading to the rooftop, a young girl was trembling and covering her mouth with her palm, afraid to make a little noise, while her originally blazing eyes were full of horror......
