Chapter 1: The Siege of the City

Next Chapter

Ah Hui sat on a stone, looking at the sun gradually setting in the distance, the golden sunlight shone on Ah Hui's face, Ah Hui slowly closed his eyes, and his eyes were bright red, warm and comfortable.

Ah Hui enjoyed this time very much, and in front of Ah Hui, there was a huge high wall. The shadow of the high wall makes this beautiful time even shorter.

The shadow of the high wall was rapidly extending, and darkness soon enveloped Ah Hui's face. Ah Hui opened his eyes and looked at this huge protective wall, which was extremely tall, and it had imprisoned everyone.

It is said that this ring-shaped wall was built to protect the surviving people. Long ago, people were free to roam, but after a catastrophe, people fled to the walled city.

No one dares to take another step, Ah Hui's guardian said, it is a disaster that can destroy all mankind, what kind of disaster it is, no one mentions.

However, outside the wall, what kind of world is it, no one talks to Ah Hui. Many people warned him not to go near the wall, let alone to go outside the wall.

When Ah Hui was a child, whenever he asked, what was it like outside the wall? Everyone shouted loudly, their expressions were stern, and they were given corresponding punishments, such as not being able to eat for a day, or corporal punishment and beating. But every time, Ah Hui could feel infinite fear in their eyes.

Ah Hui is used to watching the sunset with two friends every day. In Ah Hui's heart, he longs to go out and see. This is, perhaps, the desire of every child who grows up within the walls. This kind of thinking is not allowed to be peeped at by outsiders, even if there is a little sign, it will be accepted, and it is more severe than when I was a child, which can be said to be a cruel punishment.

Zhaoying and Tang Ji are Ah Hui's best friends. Akikage, who is said to have never cried at birth, caused the person who delivered the baby to think she was mute.

Dean, according to the inferior human race, destroy Zhaoying. If that happens, Ah Hui will lose a friend. Just as the dean was about to do it, Zhaoying cried, and the dean was stunned, Zhaoying hadn't cried since that beating.

When she grew up, Zhaoying didn't speak much, and the people who could make her say more were Ah Hui and Tang Ji.

And Tang Ji is the opposite of Zhaoying. Happy all day long, there is nothing that can make him worry, Tang Ji can be said to be the most active person in the nursing home. From the dean and guardians to the nurses in the hospital, the half-grown children all talked and laughed with Tang Ji.

But Tang Ji can only be quiet when he is with Ah Hui and Zhao Ying. Put away that kind of hypocritical face, and really feel at ease with the two of them.

But when the three of them were together, most of the time Tang Ji was talking, and the other two nodded silently. All three like, at this time, to watch the sun set. In my heart, I fantasize about the beautiful world outside. Maybe human beings will have beautiful fantasies about the unknown!

The clouds in the sky changed from white to red, then to dark red, and then to gray, and the sky darkened, and night came soon.

Ah Hui pulled, Zhaoying's clothes, stood up, and said calmly: "We, it's time to go back." Zhaoying stood up and nodded, but his eyes remained fixed on the horizon in the distance. Watch as the faint red fades away.

"Every day, I come to see it, can't I see enough?" Tang Ji stood up, patted the dust on his body and said.

"Tomorrow, that is, the day of sacrifice...... I don't know, it's still ...... Chances? Zhaoying Nono whispered.

"Sacrifice Day...... You'll be fine, go back, don't think about it! Ah Hui comforted Zhaoying and said.

"That's it! It is! Tomorrow, we'll be back! Sacrifice Day! Everybody's fine! Tang Ji also immediately grinned and said. Ah Hui looked back at him in surprise.

Tang Ji looked around, looked around, and said: "I heard that this time the tribute is ......" Then, he lowered his voice and said: "It has been chosen, there should be no us!" ”

"Moreover, it is said that this tribute is very special! It seems to be a very powerful character, but it is ...... I don't know, anyway, it's fine without us!" Tang Ji continued.

"Really?" Ah Hui and Zhao Ying asked in surprise.

"The news should be accurate, it's just a specific thing, I haven't inquired about it, and whether or not you can be selected as a tribute now is the most important thing, isn't it?" Tang Ji said to Ah Hui with a smile, and after saying that, he hit Ah Hui with his body again, jumped off the stone, waved his hand at Ah Hui and Zhaoying, and shouted, "Come down!" If you don't go back, it's time for the rangers to look for you! ”

Ah Hui and Zhao Ying also jumped off the stone and followed Tang Ji to the nursing home in the city. The patrol team is in the city and is responsible for security and guardianship. At night or during the day, anyone who approaches the wall will become suspicious and will be arrested and tortured.

And in the evening, if it is not on time, return to the nursing home. Then, too, will be spurred. The whip tastes. Ah Hui, but he has been taught. So as soon as Ah Hui heard the patrol, his whole body was uncomfortable, and he hurriedly ran to the nursing home with Zhaoying Tangji.

Most of the children in the city grew up in nursing homes. The adults in the city are burdened with heavy labor. They don't have the ability and energy to care for their children, so when they are born, they are taken to nursing homes.

And every parent is no longer allowed to approach, or visit the child, the child is there, and the nursing home will not leave until he reaches adulthood, and at the same time, he also shoulders the corresponding heavy labor.

They may die and do not know who their parents are. In the nursing home, there was no one to talk about.

When Ah Hui and the others immediately entered the nursing home, a team of nurses passed by them. Ah Hui stopped and looked at the care team blankly.

The search group, each group of five people, is leather armor protection, carrying a mouthful, wide-backed knife behind their backs, and a tag is hung on the handle of the knife, swinging rhythmically from side to side, and the name and blood type of the ranger are recorded on this tag.

The five of them walked neatly, and when they saw Ah Hui and the three of them, one of them stopped and said sternly: "Go back quickly!" Tonight, the whole city is under martial law! ”

"Yes! Sir! We'll go back right away! Tang Ji immediately straightened up, turned his head at forty-five degrees, and shouted at a loud voice. Then he pulled Ah Hui and ran into the back of the nursing home.

"Why can't you walk when you see the patrolman's knife? Didn't you hear? Martial law today! Tang Ji said half-jokingly to Ah Hui.

"That knife, it's beautiful! I just want to touch the knife! Ah Hui looked at the patrol team, the back of the departure, and said enviously.

Ah Hui is very hopeful and enters the patrol team. In the nursing home, there is an annual assessment, and according to your performance in the nursing home for many years, you will be assigned to the appropriate position.

Ah Hui's physique and reflexes are the best among this group of adults, and there is great hope that he will be assigned to the patrol team.

"The knife is very beautiful, but it also depends on who uses it, Captain Longyi's jump slash is the best! That year, I saw him slash a big tree, and with such a slight jump, that big tree, such a thick tree, was broken! Tang Ji said as he stretched out his hands and gestured.

Captain Long Yi can be said to be the idol of Ah Hui and the three of them, no matter when, as long as they talk about Captain Long Yi, the three of them will smile.

Captain Long Yi once performed on the festival day, celebrations, and it was really unforgettable! Tang Ji likes to say this paragraph the most, no matter how many times he says it, Ah Hui and Zhao Ying like to listen to it.

"I also hope that I can learn from Captain Longyi!" Ah Hui nodded and said.

"Zhaoying, you should go back early! See you tomorrow! Tang Ji said to Zhaoying.

Zhaoying nodded, waved his hand at Ah Hui, and walked towards the house in front of him. The dormitories of the nursing home are divided into several large areas according to gender and age, and Ah Hui and Tang Ji are in the same dormitory.

After Tang Ji arrived at the room, he fell on the bed with a "poof" and said to Ah Hui: "I'm tired, go to sleep first!" Tomorrow is the day of the sacrifice, so you should go to bed early! ”

Ah Hui sat on the bed and looked out the window and said "um". After a while, Tang Ji's snoring sounded.
