Ahead is an extremely dilapidated neighborhood, with countless cramped and simple houses piled up, and it feels like it will fall down when the cold wind blows.

The area is full of dead silence, and no one is going to sit idle and talk boringly.

Chen Kaiyu came to his slightly warm home familiarly.

The room is not big, only about fifteen square meters in size.

In this era of every inch of land, a humble house like this means hope.

Yes, hopefully.

This may be a rare item that makes people want to live in childbirth.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many numb outcasts outside the city.

The interior of the room was extremely simple, a simple wooden bed split in half, a stove for cooking, some firewood, and nothing else.

No, there is also a polished shiny Buddha shrine with a yellowed statue of the Bodhisattva abruptly inside.

Half of the wooden bed sat a slightly bloated figure wrapped in a huge black robe.

"Coming back?" The voice came from the black clothes.

"Hmm."

Chen Kaiyu replied lightly, sat on the other half of the wooden bed, and a creaking and squeaky sound sounded.

"Don't hide it like this at home......" he said with a little helplessness.

"Okay."

The black clothes faded......

What is revealed is a flowing green silk, white skin, and faint eyebrows like distant mountains in the snow.

It is unimaginable that under this huge black robe is a woman with an extraordinarily moving waist.

In this slum, there is such a beautiful scenery hidden.

In a world where dignity doesn't even know what it is, beauty represents a kind of original sin.

Chen Kaiyu quietly examined the touching beyond this boring world.

"Hello, Chen Xiaoyue."

"Have you seen enough?"

"Can't get enough of it."

"Let's eat." The woman seemed well acquainted with his temperament and no longer argued.

It's better to eat some cold gruel than to eat.

The porridge, frozen by the cold, was crudely cut into pieces and placed on two stone bowls full of cracks.

The two of them picked up the bowl, grabbed the frozen cold porridge in their hands and gnawed it indifferently.

A gurgling sound sounded from his mouth, but no one spoke.

The man and the woman quickly settled the meal.

"How's it going to be today?" Chen Kaiyu, who put down the stone bowl, said in a deep voice.

"You've just eaten it." The tender white hand pointed to the empty stove.

"Whew...... I would like to go to the wilderness one more time. ”

"I don't agree." There was no doubt in the woman's voice.

"Then I'll drop out." Chen Kaiyu said firmly.

"I'll figure out the food thing, you don't have to worry about it."

"That'...... All right. He answered.

"How's the source power you're feeling?"

"It's still the same, and it's very slow to absorb...... Extremely slow. ”

Chen Kaiyu lay on the wooden bed, calmly watching the twilight in the distance.

"Hey......," sighed faintly.

"I heard that the people from the baron's side recently went to explore the 100,000-level Diamond Age Old City, how did you get it?" Chen Kaiyu changed the subject.

"It's said to be untouched virgin land, but what is left after the carpet looting and excavation of the last century?" Chen Xiaoyue said casually.

"At least there are some resources that can be reused, especially metals. It would be a windfall to transfer these scarce things to the oligarchs of the cities, who are in desperate need of more parts for their wheels of war! ”

"Alright, don't think about it." Chen Xiaoyue interrupted the man's rambling.

"Hey, I wish I could become a Source sooner so I could explore the Old City or hunt down dark creatures."

Chen Kaiyu sighed.

That would feed both of us...... We can survive in this cruel world......

He swallowed this sentence in his stomach and didn't say it.

"Sister, I heard about those million-level, or even ten-million-level abandoned old cities on the eastern coast, can you imagine their scale?" He continued.

"It is common sense that the bigger the ruins, the more deadly the danger. I said, Chen Kaiyu, you are talking a little bit nonsense today. ”

"Okay, let's stop talking."

A keen way of thinking, and a strong body are the biggest assets of the two sisters and brothers.

"By the way, do you have food tomorrow?"

"We'll talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, if it doesn't work, sell the Buddha statue and sleep!" The woman's voice seemed impatient.

"Okay."

Darkness has come.

A pair of bright eyes suddenly opened and looked at the yellowed Bodhisattva statue in the Buddha shrine.

"Bodhisattva bless."

At midnight, Chen Kaiyu opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping Chen Xiaoyue.

He cautiously flashed out of the room, through the broken streets, running deeply he felt the acid water in his stomach fermenting, but the only solution was to endure this feeling of powerlessness.

Growing clearer and clearer ahead is a mottled city wall tens of meters high.

The walls of all base cities are known as the Great Wall of Sylvia, in honor of a great Empress of the Source.

It was under her leadership that humanity built many giant cities of steel, banishing the dark creatures that inhabited the vast and fertile land.

She is a rare pro-people emperor.

It's a pity that there are too few such people......

Chen Kaiyu came to a low-lying area familiarly, and after finding a cross-shaped mark under the base of the city wall, his hands began to shake rapidly, brushing away the soft and wet loose soil after the rain.

Buried beneath the fertile soil is a dull stone knife.

In the darkness, the boy silently stared at the hilt of the knife, which had been smoothed by countless rubbings.

At the beginning, he and Chen Xiaoyue were outcasts, and the two of them used this stone knife to cut a bloody way out.

No one knew how these two teenage children came out of the endless wilderness and how they earned the sky-high source coins that entered the city.

The two are undoubtedly the best of the outcasts, but the pain and tearing in them are cold and warm.

Now, after only one year in Tianfeng City, he had to pick up the stone knife that he had hidden again.

Due to age and gender restrictions, neither of them can do the kind of work that requires cheap labor and do not have a stable income.

Chen Xiaoyue would go out every day, following the vast "pick-up army" to one after another to the garbage graves that had been cleaned up twice by people from the S-level base city.

To put it bluntly, she's a garbage picker...... All sources of income depend solely on whether the lucky male god will favor the girl.

But there hasn't been a ...... lately The two of them now have barely even the most basic food sources.

Most of those mountain-like garbage heaps contain extremely strong radiation.

With the body of an ordinary person, if you stay there for a long time, you will inevitably suffer from internal mutations and various diseases.

Looking at the girl's pale skin, his angina pectoris, uneasy.

At first, it was he who insisted on bringing her to the city.

The two had counted the stars in their tents in the wilderness countless times late at night, talking about the beautiful fantasy of coming to the city.

But...... In this era when even the heavens are against people, all the pleading and tears are in vain.

What does that get you in exchange? Food? No, no, that drains the energy in your body.

Some people can't even cry when they are grief-stricken, because their bodies don't allow it......

"This life! It's better to nest in the wilderness! At least fill your stomach there! His eyes were bloodshot.

I thought that he had the qualification of source energy and came to the city, and after entering the school, he would definitely be able to awaken as a source person.

So, without hesitation, the two squandered all their savings to pay for the high entrance fee.

Today, there are two problems, one is the lack of food, and the other is the secondary tuition fees to be paid after the nuclear winter.

Food is now a top priority.

He had brought her fantasies, and he would definitely come true......

Therefore, the only way to survive is to enter the wilderness again.

Chen Kaiyu stared at an inconspicuous gap in the wall in the darkness, large enough for his body to drill through.

His eyes were disturbed by darkness, and as far as the eye could see, there was a blue-yellow field, exuding a damp smell.

It was desolate and bleak, like a desert of execution.

Chen Kaiyu felt its majestic aura, and he came back to this familiar place.

On the other side of the city wall were very rudimentary tents that had been erected, and the outside and inside seemed to be filled with people in tattered clothes.

Although this year is a warm winter, it is still cold to death, especially after a disaster, these poor people in single clothes are bathed in the cold wind.

There was no pain, only numbness.

Because, moving facial expressions also consumes calories.

For these people, lying still is the greatest forgiveness.

There are dead and some alive......

There seems to be no difference between the living and the dead here......

A single dark creature can snatch a lot of flesh from the wilderness.

No, those picky eaters probably don't look down on flesh and blood that exudes a rotten smell all over their bodies.

A few lucky alien beasts who dare to stay in the marginal wilderness may be able to feast on their meals.

These people, useless, and even a waste of energy.

This is the status quo of the forsaken people living in the Fourth World.

No, it's still somewhat useful.

If the third round of the Dark Havoc of the Nuclear Winter breaks out, those who are densely packed like dead corpses may be able to stop the charge of the dark creatures from the wilderness.

The noble class that inhabited Skywind Castle jokingly called it the Achinot Line.

In the dictionary of the Dawn Age, Achino represents the pile of dead people.

Therefore, in layman's terms, the defense line of the dead pile is unbreakable.

Chen Kaiyu looked at this scene expressionlessly, he would not be pitied.

Because he can't even take care of himself, how can he sympathize with others.

In the words of the previous New Era historian Jiang Ting: If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

Listening to her, it seems to come from an old time......

Chen Kaiyu is very fascinated by the life of the old times.

No, it should be that everyone yearns for that era of food, clothing and peace.

How many people want to exchange ten years of life for the opportunity to live in that era for a day.

No, even for half a day!

But...... It's impossible.

The blood-drenched reality tells everyone: this is the dawn of the dark age, a civilization that has not yet ended after three centuries.

The devil knows when civilization will go extinct, and no one cares about such a boring thing.

Go to your instincts, live with them, and take them to the extreme.

This is the first supreme law of the world that weighs on people's heads.

Because to live is to hope.

Chen Kaiyu had already entered the wilderness shrouded in darkness, he held the stone knife and looked around vigilantly.

This is a dead place in the eastern part of the continent, and at the end of the wilderness is the vast sea.

The wilderness is surrounded by many ruins of the old city.

That's the real blessed land where you can make a windfall.

But ruins often mean deadly danger.

Take a few 100,000-level ruins near Tianfeng City, although they have been carpet-swept by major military organizations and barons, and have been explored by several monopoly companies in the second round.

But every year, countless scavengers still come to the melting ice ridge and die happily.

A cold wind blew, with a dignified tide.

Chen Kaiyu couldn't help but wrap his clothes.
