Chapter 33: Suffering and Hardship

"This gathering place is mixed, what they said before was only eight gene lock powerhouses, I don't believe it, with the strength of the military, the speed of obtaining energy stones is definitely much faster than ordinary people! So they can never only have four genetically locked powerhouses. ”

"Moreover, there are human beings from all walks of life gathered in the gathering place, and it is not excluded that there are some genetic lock powerhouses hidden in it."

"As for why they want to hide, it's a simple question, when the power of the people is greater than the strength of the army, the army will inevitably destroy some forces that are greater than the army, and they will never allow anyone to be disobedient on their territory."

"Ahem, it's all this time, are they still thinking about infighting?"

"Infighting is the inevitable result, and the inferiority of human beings is the source of their infighting." Lu Yi said indifferently.

When Tang Wen and the others heard this, their hearts couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Yes, if you look at history, there is a dynasty that would have allowed its people to rebel against them. Everything that is not good for itself will be removed.

Even if the enemy is present, they will never allow a second voice to appear in their territory.

"That's why I want Elder Li to hide his strength, presumably Elder Li doesn't want to expose his strength."

Li Xuanyi nodded a little silently, he has lived for such a long time, he naturally sees it more clearly than everyone here.

"People are unpredictable, the old man has lived for such a long time, and he can still witness the end times before he dies. Now the old man only hopes that his granddaughter Li Qingxuan can grow up quickly, so that she can protect herself. It doesn't matter if I die, but the old man's granddaughter will live after all. ”

Li Xuanyi sighed silently, looking at Li Qingxuan, who was pale, with kind eyes.

Everyone seemed to be a little moved by Li Xuanyi's gesture.

When the end of the world comes, how many people abandon their wives and children, regardless of the family affection and trust in the past, and flee without hesitation.

In the last days, it is really a crystal clear mirror, and all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods can't escape the exposed side.

With the advent of the end times, the best evils hidden in the past have taken on their original forms, revealing their due hideousness and darkness.

……

"It's getting late, why don't we go out to the gathering place to find out about the situation."

Tang Wen raised his eyebrows and spoke.

Everyone naturally has no opinion, even if Pu Ke and Huang Zhong, who are seriously injured, they are all eager to try at this time.

The only thing that can excite them is the mysterious Tower of Babel.

Tang Wen and the others walked out of the room, because they were led by the military team before, they marched extremely fast, and they didn't have time to watch the situation in the gathering place.

Now the people were walking through the streets, and the yellow sun shone on the earth.

As far as the eye can see, groups of survivors come and go through the streets, with the occasional scattered survivor.

On the side of the street, some elderly and helpless people knelt on the ground, begging the survivors to give them some food for their lives, but their whispered pleas were rewarded with a beating from the strong survivors.

Some young and ignorant children were lying on the ground, skinny, and if it weren't for the occasional movement of him, Tang Wen and the others would have thought that they had been dead for a long time.

The survivors who occasionally passed by, looking at the scene in front of them, couldn't resist the beating of conscience after all, and reluctantly put down half of the biscuits, and turned to leave.

Some of the poorly clothed women knelt on the ground. There was a sign in front of him that read: "Two biscuits, today I am yours." ”

The survivors passing by looked at it from time to time, as if they wanted to see if the women in front of them were worth the price.

And the woman who was favored was overjoyed, showing her physical capital hard, praying that the man in front of her could give her more food.

I saw three men walking side by side, and the man at the head picked the woman's hair and pinched the woman's chin lightly, as if he wanted to see whether the "commodity" in front of him was good or bad.

And when the woman who was pinched in her chin looked up at the three men, she suddenly looked frightened, and her body trembled and crawled backwards.

"Hehe, chick, the price is clearly marked and sold, why did you run away when you saw us? It's not that I won't pay you. ”

A lustful look flashed on the man's face, and he grabbed the woman's hair and dragged it to him.

I saw the woman crying out in horror: "Let go of me, I won't sell it." Please spare me, I don't want to die! ”

The woman resisted violently, crying out hoarsely.

"Let you go, it's impossible, the three brothers finally came back from outside and lay down, it's not fun to have fun, how can it work?"

The man grinned, took two packets of biscuits from his pocket, and stuffed them into the woman's arms.

Who knew that the woman was like crazy, and the precious and abnormal food in the past was thrown to the ground by her at this time.

"I didn't take your food, the deal wasn't done, you can't take me away!"

"Hehe, it's not up to you whether the transaction is completed or not, you also know the rules in the gathering place, and those who take food but don't follow the rules of the transaction will die!"

The man sneered, waved his big hand, and the two behind him used their hands and feet together, stuffing the biscuits into the woman's arms again.

"Please, let me go! I don't want to die!! ”

The woman cried hoarsely and struggled hard, trying to get out of the arms of the two men, but the strength of the two strong men was so great, how could she break free when she was already weak?

"Take it easy, serve the three brothers well, and you may not die."

The man smirked.

"Go away, you devil, every woman you pulled is dead, woo..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, the man at the head of the group gagged her mouth with her clothes.

The survivors who stopped to watch let out a sigh and turned away in silence.

"Everyone else is selling their bodies, but when they come to the fire wolf, they become desperate. Poor woman, the biscuit is dying before she eats it. ”

The survivors on the side muttered to themselves, their eyes showing a hint of sadness.

The woman who knelt on the ground and sold her body looked at the three departing figures in horror at this time, and couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity.

Some women couldn't help crying loudly, they didn't have the courage to fight with the carrion, nor did they have an outstanding appearance, so they couldn't get the favor of the strong.

Worried about food, they can only choose to sell themselves to get food that they steal.

But even if they let go of their dignity as women and exchange their bodies for food, they still can't escape the arrangement of fate......

In contrast to them, the elderly and children, who are weak, have little access to food.

In addition to the meagre food distributed by the army every day, they can only pray for the passing survivors to be kind and give them some food.

And the chances of getting food are so slim that every day, countless people die of hunger.

Tang Wen and the others walked silently on the crowded streets, the hungry moans that came from time to time, and the scrawny body reflected in their eyes, twitching everyone's hearts from time to time.

"Please, give me some food."

A scrawny old man clutched Tang Wen's trouser corner tightly and pleaded in a low voice.

With the old man taking the lead, the hungry survivors around him rushed up one after another, kneeling on the ground, begging Tang Wen and the others for a little charity.

Lu Yi looked at this scene with an indifferent face, without any emotional fluctuations on his face.

Wang Yanyan and the others showed unbearable expressions in their eyes, and they all looked at Tang Wen who was silent.

Looking at those hopeful eyes, Tang Wen sighed in his heart.

"Well, we don't have much food, so let's give some and go."

Tang Wen's face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice.

With Tang Wen's permission, Wang Yanyan and the others took out a small amount of food from their backpacks and put it on the ground.

The hungry people suddenly went crazy, rushing forward and snatching the few foods.

The people who grabbed the food continued to thank Tang Wen and the others with gratitude, and those who didn't grab it looked at Tang Wen and the others with hopeful eyes.

"It's time to go."

Lu Yi said lightly with an indifferent face.

Although Tang Wen and the others couldn't bear it, they still left this land of right and wrong.

"We can't afford to pay for the hunger of others."

Lu Yi said indifferently.

"Everyone has access to food, and the way to get it is simple, and that's to kill the carrion! Exchange Power Stones for food. Everyone pays for food, so why should they get food for nothing? ”

"Even if they don't starve to death today, they will starve to death on the streets in the future!"

Lu Yi said coldly.

"In these last days, there is no mercy! Those who ask for alms are doomed to be eliminated from this world! Those who survive, no matter how despicable they are! It is also a thousand times better than those who dare not face reality! ”

Tang Wen opened his mouth, and stopped talking, how could he not know this truth.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little silent, even the youngest Li Qingxuan was listening carefully.

"Okay, don't say any more, we all know what you said. After all, we are just a group of flesh and blood people with emotions, not a group of emotionless machines. ”

Li Xuanyi waved his hand and interrupted Lu Yi, who was speaking.

"We were able to come together because we had something in common. If it weren't for the people, I'm afraid we would have already parted ways. Don't compromise the relationship between the guys for a little food. ”

Lu Yi nodded silently and stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a little dreary, and this was the first time that there had been discord since the establishment of this team.

Tang Wen looked up at the sky with some silence, and sighed secretly, his mood was a little complicated.

Maybe Lu Yi is right, in the last days, there is no need for pity and sympathy.

Only by standing up, having the courage to face the rotting corpse, and the determination to dare to fight, this is the only way to survive in the last days!

Food that comes from alms is doomed to not live long.
