The search and rescue team drove into the settlement in a leisurely car, and the bodies of Zhang Dachuan and Zhang Xiaochuan were randomly discarded in the wilderness. Dispose of corpses? What a troublesome thing it is!

The back of the broken truck is stuffed with old-world garbage, old metal, scrap glass, and even a reimbursed washing machine. These aren't too precious, but in the case of scavengers, they can be paid quite well at specialized acquisition stations.

Scavengers weren't a glamorous profession in the Old World, but in the New World, men at the bottom were basically playing this role. The outbreak of the disaster has had a huge impact on productivity, and although mankind retains the flame of civilization, it is extremely difficult to start everything over. Almost every vein is controlled by giant beasts, and it is tantamount to a tiger's mouth to snatch resources from them. Therefore, waste utilization is naturally an important measure to restore productivity.

From having their own cars, it can be seen that the two brothers Okawa and Ogawa mix quite well in the scavengers, but it's a pity that people are unlucky and have no inevitable relationship with whether you mix well or not.

The pile of garbage on the car is the relics of two brothers, Okawa and Ogawa, according to the rules of the settlement, in the event of an accident between the two, these things should belong to their relatives, but all the members of the search and rescue team tacitly chose to avoid it. Do the two brothers Okawa and Ogawa have relatives? Even if there is, so what.

The car drove straight to the scrap yard, and from the laughter of the group of people in the search and rescue team, it could probably be heard that this was a considerable extra money.

At the door of the scrapyard stood a dirty, barefoot little girl, who silently watched all this. After a few minutes, she turned indifferently, and all this had nothing to do with her.

Because of the rain, the settlement was muddy, and there was a lot of water on the potholed road, but the little girl didn't care about it, and walked on it without dodging or dodging.

The girl is the younger sister of Okawa and Ogawa, but there is not much blood relationship. The situation of girls in the family is very bad. In her father's eyes, this is a money-loser, when she is a burden who only eats dry rice. The most common thing to talk about every day is to find an old man to kick out, but before he can find a home, his father accidentally takes it. The two elder brothers were also not friendly to their mother and daughter, and the day after their father's death, the brothers found a buyer and couldn't wait to sell the girl's mother for cash, as for the little girl, the brothers seemed to have some different ideas, of course, no matter what the idea, they had no chance to realize it.

Although the rain had passed, the sky was not clear, and since the arrival of the Kuroshio, the sky had been covered with a faint gray shade, and the climate was indeed much colder than before. In such a climate, food is particularly precious.

The little girl was thin and skinny, and when the two bastard brothers went out to scavenge for waste, they took all the food from the house. So the little girl hadn't eaten for a long time, and the only thing she could do was rummage through the garbage heap for food. There are no wild cats and wild dogs in the garbage heaps, and that kind of thing is either a spirit or a, how can they be allowed to appear on the street. The little girl has an instinctive distrust of strangers in the settlement. And there weren't many people in the settlement who came to her aid, and food was much more precious than this dispensable kindness. In such an era, there are many poor people, but there is very little food, and as for meat for ordinary people, it is a rare luxury.

Suddenly, a snow rabbit leg bone with shredded meat was thrown from a tavern not far away, and the little girl keenly spotted it, which was a rare delicacy for the little girl. If you put it to good use, this leg bone can even make a pot of bone broth with a little flesh, and the remaining bone marrow residue in the bone is also a rare nutrient. But it wasn't just the little girl who found it, several wild children rushed out almost at the same time. The little girl was lucky that she was the closest, so it wasn't a hard time to get it. But on the other hand, she is also unlucky.

"Hand it over."

Several bear children cornered the little girl and tried to get her to hand over the leg bones in her hands.

There are a lot of good people sitting in the tavern, they are frequent visitors to the tavern, and they are also powerful people in the settlement, in today's food shortage and precious, they can still drink wine and eat meat, this kind of treatment ordinary people can not envy for several lifetimes.

For these small disputes that happen every day outside, these people don't mind stopping their glasses for three or five minutes to watch this clumsy trick. Sometimes these people also make a small bet on this.

The little thing's will was unusually resolute, she fiercely protected the bones in her arms, and her small claws left many distinct marks on the faces of several bear children who stepped forward. Of course, this does not mean that the little girl will be able to harvest today's treasure safely. The hungry little girl couldn't be the match for these bear children, not even the little girl who was full of food and panicked.

The little girl who was kicked to the ground hard, holding the bones and curling up her body in pain, because she was too thin, the force of the fists and kicks was easy to act on the bones, and the signals of severe pain were frequently transmitted to the brain along the nerves. One-legged, two-legged, three-legged......

——

"It hurts, it hurts, I can't hear clearly, I can't see anything, my head, my head is so hot, will I die?"

I don't know when, the little girl's hands holding the bones became weak, and as for the cherished bone in her hand, it was also snatched early, but several bear children still had no intention of stopping.

"Die, stinking bitch!"

One of the most flowery boys whose face was caught was not too happy to do so, his eyes were red and his eyes were excited, and he picked up a rock by the side of the road and was about to throw it at the little girl's head. If this smash is real, the little girl's fragile head is not just as simple as rubbing some skin and leaving some blood, and if you don't do it, she will really die.

"Stop it, little ghost, the things have been snatched, it's almost time to get out."

The stone that the bear child lifted above his head was violently clasped by a pair of rough, calloused hands, but the owner of the hand was unexpectedly a teenager. With a heavy sword on his back and two large-caliber revolvers hanging from his waist, this is the appearance of a teenager. With a flick of his hands, he knocked several bear children to the ground.

"Run......

Knowing that he is not an opponent, a few bear children also ran simply, anyway, the thing is already in hand, isn't it?

Feeling the power attached to her gradually subsided, the little girl opened her eyes with difficulty, looking at the shadow in front of her, her dim eyes seemed to glow with a little hope color, the little girl stretched out her hand, trying to grasp the shadow, but as the shadow became longer and longer, more and more blurred, the color in the little girl's eyes gradually dimmed, silent, and finally returned to darkness.
