Only near the windows did the dimly lit room have some faint light, and the breeze blew the curtains, causing them to drift gently.

With the help of the faint light, you can clearly see that the room is very messy, there is no one living in it at all, the bed is piled up with messy clothes, even on the ground there is a lot of garbage, and a lot of furniture has fallen to the ground.

At this time, Zheng Zhong leaned and sat in the corner of the room, in front of him was a large number of wine bottles, with a dense layer of stubble on his chin, and he looked decadent, which was completely different from the image of the rich second generation that he had shown in front of outsiders.

"Huh, wretched? Go home and be a rich second generation? Zheng Zhong smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered softly.

Thinking back to the words that Mu Chen transferred to him before, although he didn't show it too obviously at the time, he actually cared about what his father said in his heart.

Zhang He and others usually see Zheng Zhong always breaking his mouth, and even spending money excessively, but that is actually his deliberate side, behind everyone's emotions that are declared to the outside, there will always be a second personality.

The inferiority complex and loneliness shown by Zheng Zhong now are like this, and his external state is also a kind of compensation for the second personality.

This has a very serious relationship with the growth environment that Zheng Zhong has lived in since he was a child, perhaps in the eyes of many people, there is a father of the Longyuan Consortium, not to mention a carefree life, and he has stood in the top circle of the rich and powerful since the moment he was born, which should be a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes.

In reality, however, Zheng Zhong did not think so, his childhood was full of coercion and repression, and everything he thought would bring happiness was stopped.

Your life is like being written, and there is no room for disobedience and violation, as long as there is a slight mistake, then the punishment is enough to be unforgettable.

This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Zhong rebelled against his family after he became an adult and showed an incompetent rich second generation.

At the same time, deep in Zheng Zhong's heart, there is another crucial reason why he often falls into memories after getting drunk......

……

That was when Zheng Zhong was still an underage......

He once hid from his family and bought a female slave girl on the black market, yes, a female slave.

Although this title does not sound very human, in this apocalypse, life in the Underworld is just a kind of paradise that has been rendered.

But this kind of words, in the consciousness of the top rich and powerful, can only know the reason, but cannot be declared, and for ordinary people, they always think that the calamity outside the castle of the underworld, there will only be a fallen calamity, that is, the abyss beast!

It's a pity that they never thought about it, why the ten Underworld Fortresses in the world always control the total population well, is it really just because of the constant attacks of the Abyssal Beasts that consume the excess population?

In fact, there are no beggars or idlers in the Castle of the Underworld, unless you have the skills to contribute to the Castle of the Underworld.

Otherwise, what awaits you will be an inexplicable disappearance, of course, the disappearance here is not to be killed, but to be imprisoned and banished to the Underworld Fortress at a certain point in time.

Become a taboo that the rich and powerful are not too happy to mention, Vault Dweller! And what is the purpose of the Vault Dweller? Naturally, it is the target of the Abyssal Beast's predation.

Although this is very unethical, it has somewhat eased the pace of the Underworld Fortress being attacked by the Abyssal Beasts, and these Vault Dwellers are the food that humans contribute to the Abyssal Beasts.

As for the person Zheng Zhong bought at the beginning, she was a little girl who had long been defined as a banisher, and in fact, her life was very innocent in Zheng Zhong's eyes.

Because she has a mentally handicapped mother who gave birth to her when she was about to be blasted out of the Underworld Castle, no one knows who her father is, which the girl told Zheng Zhong after learning the words.

Because in that place where she was centrally imprisoned, for an ordinary adult woman, and a woman with a little IQ problem, she would definitely become the object of the guards' frequent venting of their bestial desires.

Even after she was born, she was raised by other people, I don't know if it was because of the unknown father's reason, the girl's IQ was not inherited from her mother.

On the contrary, she is normal, and she has been relatively good-looking since she was a child, but even if she is very normal, she has not changed her life, because there are not very few children like her in that concentration camp waiting for exile.

Since they have labor that they can give, they will conflict with the right to live in the Underworld, but they have lived in this place since they were young, and they cannot be revealed.

Therefore, the way they are dealt with will naturally be linked to interests, that is, the way Zheng Zhong bought her later, the slave trade.

As for secrecy, in the eyes of the administrators, the girl was illiterate, and who could she talk to after her tongue was cut out? You must know that the people who bought them are the powerful and rich, and they will only train them to be a squire to contribute a meager labor force.

Fortunately, this girl met Zheng Zhong, and he had a hidden rebellious psychology in his heart back then, so the girl was lucky, at least her fate had some clever deviations.

The girl is very smart, and in the few months she has been with Zheng Zhong, she has learned to write, and even knows how to deliberately hide her identity.

has even become Zheng Zhong's most important friend, and can often give Zheng Zhong a little comfort and relief who is overwhelmed by the burden of family training, which is also the reason why Zheng Zhong can't forget her for a long time.

Because in Zheng Zhong's heart, this girl with the status of a slave girl is his first friend in the true sense!

However, it seems that there really are so-called evil gods in the world, and the purpose of their existence is to destroy the happiness of others.

Under the protection of Zheng Zhong, the girl obtained a happy time for nearly two years, during which the girl not only understood the words, but worked harder to absorb all the knowledge she was interested in.

It seems that when she was well prepared, the girl's original life also came back to the door, and under Zheng Zhong's hysterical roar, his stop not only did not help the girl, but was locked in the room by her father for a month.

As for the fate of this girl? In the eyes of Zheng Zhong's father, she violated the unspoken rules that slaves should abide by, she should not learn knowledge, and naturally her fate will return to the starting point.

This is the only thing Zheng Zhong knows, about the girl's whereabouts, even if he doesn't know, whether this is his own subjective will, or the family's deception of him, maybe the girl has been secretly executed.

But Zheng Zhong preferred to believe that the girl was still alive, and then ......

Everything seemed to have been arranged by fate, Zheng Zhong began a vengeful disobedience, and even finally concealed it at home, secretly injected strong base elements, and signed up to transform into a devourer as a strengthener, and came to this day!

In fact, deep in Zheng Zhong's heart, although he didn't know if the girl had really entered the Land of Calamity and become a Vault Dweller, he always hoped to be able to get out of the Underworld Fortress and see the real outside world.

Of course, if he could, he wanted to find the girl, even though he knew that it might just be a dream that would never come true!

Perhaps the girl had already turned into food in the stomach of the Abyssal Beast on the day she walked out of the Underworld Fortress, but people are often like this, and a kind of attachment will always accompany him on the day when it is not realized.

No matter how long it takes, one day, this attachment will burst out, and as long as it is not realized, then this attachment will never end affecting the heart of the holder......

……

Silently raising the wine bottle in his hand, Zheng Zhong poured all the wine in it into his mouth, and the spicy in his mouth and throat seemed to become a cool to eliminate the boredom in his heart at this moment!

He threw the bottle against the opposite wall, accompanied by a ping-pong sound, which seemed to be a wonderful sound in the dimly lit room.

Then, Zheng Zhong rubbed his face frantically, and after swallowing his saliva, he sighed fiercely.

"Even if it's a waste among the devourers, I don't want to be a waste in the family, one day, without relying on you, I will become a figure for you to admire!"

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zhong picked up the metal box on the ground, and after opening it gently, it was accompanied by a burst of dry ice, and inside was a metal injection.

Gently picking it up, Zheng Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then a somewhat crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the metal injection was slammed into his arm.

With a gasp, Zheng Zhong swallowed his saliva and injected the liquid from the metal injection into his body.

This is the second-generation strong base that Mu Chen handed over to him, the injection that is enough to change whether he may be able to become a devourer.

Feeling the stinging pain and heat on the wound on his arm caused by being injected, Zheng Zhong slowly closed his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, fell into a short silence.

At this moment, Zheng Zhong may never have thought that from the day he decided to become a strong person, or rather, a devourer, he was using the resources that the resentful family and the resentful father could provide.

Until this moment, the second-generation strong base element that Zheng Zhong chose to inject was also something that his father could provide him, but maybe it wasn't that Zheng Zhong couldn't think of this.

It was a choice of desperation, because the communication letter that the girl wrote to herself had completely changed Zheng Zhong's thoughts, and the information on the tip of the pen and the letter paper.

represents a hellish world.

It represents a place that has lost its humanity.

It also represents a reason that impacted Zheng Zhong's top world, which is a heaven and a hell, and Zheng Zhong, under the impact of this contradiction, has become a wanderer walking on the gray dividing line.

But from the day he chose to become the Devourer, he sank completely, because deep down he had a thought in his heart to overthrow the concentration camp that had created the Vault Dweller.

And gaining the power of the Devourer will be the first step in doing this......

However, just a few minutes after Zheng Zhong fell into silence, he suddenly opened his eyes, the back of his head was pressed against the corner of the wall, and a large number of green tendons appeared in his neck.

At this moment, Zheng Zhong felt a feeling that he was almost suffocating, and he could even clearly feel his throbbing heart.

Perhaps in the midst of this indescribable pain, Zheng Zhong saw his first friend again, because there was a smile of satisfaction in his angry eyes......
