The little girl's name is Yu Xiaolou, a native of Thousand Eyes Lake, after being born, only the basic radiation resistance gene was generated in the body, and she has never left Thousand Eyes Lake for more than ten years, she is both yearning and afraid of the outside world, and she keeps asking interesting things about the outside of Flower Valley along the way, and finally talks about the refuge of Thousand Eyes Lake.

As early as more than ten years ago, Lord Shen Bao, the leader of Thousand Eyes Lake, had organized local residents to build underground temporary shelters everywhere to escape the thunder and lightning.

Because of the perennial rain poisoning, the local residents need to take a small fruit to sustain their lives, this fruit grows at the root of the vine, and the yield is not small, but due to the large number of permanent residents of Thousand Eyes Lake, the fruit near the dungeon has long been hollowed out, and people have to run farther away, so it is easy to suffer from lightning attacks because of the lack of timely evasion, and these underground shelters came into being.

Of course, if you want to enter the refuge, even if you are a resident of Thousand Eyes Lake, you must pay a certain amount of fruit, and a person like Song Yin, who travels on various continents all year round and makes a living by hunting, can also use money instead of fruit, one hundred, pay five hundred to enter the refuge smoothly.

After listening to her narration, Song Yin and the four of them were silent for a long time, and Hua Gu took out five crumpled hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Yu Xiaolou.

The little girl, who had a cunning face just now, didn't confiscate it, shook her head and said, "Sister, five hundred is enough for me, and I have found a lot of fruit this time, enough for me and my mother to eat for several days." As he spoke, he put the bamboo tube in front of the flower valley.

There are only about twenty black fruits in total, and there is a lot of mud sticking to them, but Yu Xiaolou is very proud, "Today is the most harvested, my mother must be very happy." ”

Song Yin asked for the money from Hua Gu's hand, took out a few from his pocket, and stuffed them into Yu Xiaolou.

"Take it all, we don't know the way, we need you to take us to the dungeon."

Yu Xiaolou has always been very afraid of Song Yin, especially when Song Yin has a straight face, the evil aura revealed on her body is just like those mutated creatures, which makes people shudder, she is very cautious and often leans close to Hua Gu, as if she does not dare to get too close to Song Yin.

I don't know why, Song Yin felt a little bored in his heart, as if there was a fire being pressed and there was nowhere to vent, he raised his foot and kicked a piece of dead vines, walked a few steps quickly, and didn't look at Yu Xiaolou's face again.

Yue Hai and Kushan glanced at each other, and asked Hua Gu in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Hua Gu looked at Yu Xiaolou beside him, thought for a while, and said, "I probably remembered some people." ”

The first shelter was three days away from the junction of the mountain zoo, and because Yu Xiaolou's physical fitness was not strengthened, she was out of breath after walking for a long time, and finally Yue Hai and Kushan took turns carrying her and rushed to the shelter in the evening of the next day.

The entrance to the shelter was halfway up a small mound, and a strong man in camouflage squatted at the door, holding a small fruit in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth very comfortably, as if he were eating jelly beans.

As soon as Yu Xiaolou saw him, his body was obviously stiff, and his eyes were a little dodgy, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and his whole body was unnatural.

Song Yin was the first to notice her strangeness, glanced at the camouflage man, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?" ”

Yu Xiaolou didn't answer, just tugged at Song Yin's sleeve, stood and didn't go any further, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare.

"What's wrong?" Hua Gu on the side also saw that Yu Xiaolou was very nervous, and comforted: "If you have anything to say, don't be afraid, we are here." ”

Yu Xiaolou gritted his teeth, found an angle that would not be discovered by the strong man, and hesitated: "Sister, let's change the shelter, I don't want to go there." Probably feeling that she had not fulfilled her due obligations as a guide, she took out the dozen bills just now and handed them to Hua Gu, "I will return this money to you, I only need five hundred to be enough." ”

Song Yin squinted his eyes at the mound, and gave Hua Gu another look, Hua Gu nodded slightly, stuffed the money back into Yu Xiaolou's pocket, and said softly: "Xiao Lou, my sister asked you, did that person bully you before, so you are afraid of him?" Tell your sister and your sister will let her brothers give you an outfit. ”

As soon as Yu Xiaolou heard this, he was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble, and he shook his head desperately and said: "No, don't, sister, don't trouble him, it's okay, he, he didn't bully me, please, don't, don't ......" said as he said a layer of mist in his eyes.

Song Yin couldn't see the girl crying, so he turned his head a little impatiently, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's useless to cry in this world, if someone bullies you, you just fight back, if you can't beat it, just wait, and wait until you become strong enough." ”

Yu Xiaolou looked at Song Yin, as if thinking about his words, and after a while, she raised her head and asked seriously, "What if you can't beat it for the rest of your life?" ”

This question stopped Song Yin at once, he glanced at Yu Xiaolou's dirty cheeks, and cast his gaze on the small mound: "I can't beat it, I'll help you fight." ”

Yu Xiaolou showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and his palm-sized face was a little stubborn, but more helpless.

"Brother Song Yin, I know that you are all good people, you are all very powerful, but I am different, I have no ability to leave the dungeon, and you will leave sooner or later, when you leave, how can I protect my mother and protect myself? If I can be as good as you, why should I be afraid of him? ”

The little girl's clear and bright voice pierced Song Yin's heart like a needle.

Yes, seven years of killing almost made him forget that there is still a group of people in the world who have no powers, and their fate is no longer fair, but they also need to live. Submission is the survival instinct of the weak, and if it is strong enough, who will be the one who bows his head.

Song Yin didn't know how to answer, just silently grabbed Yu Xiaolou's wrist and continued to move in the direction of the dungeon.

A thunderclap that almost burst the entire sky resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Suddenly, dark clouds overheaded, the wind blew fiercely, and a silver-white lightning bolt slashed from the sky, shattering a boulder in the distance, and the rainstorm was about to come.

Song Yin stopped and looked at Yu Xiaolou, the little girl looked up at the sky in disbelief, muttered a few times, and finally could only hang her head as if resigned to her fate.

Now even God has no intention of letting this girl go.

Song Yin knew what she was worried about, and said with a cold face: "Don't worry, before leaving, I will let you have enough ability to protect yourself and your mother." ”

Yu Xiaolou looked at Song Yin, her expression was a little confused, maybe she didn't understand, she didn't understand why Song Yin was obviously terrible, but she was no longer afraid. She nodded vigorously and grabbed Song Yin's hand, turned around and walked towards the shelter.

In the distance, more than a dozen residents of Thousand Eyes Lake who were picking fruits nearby had gathered at the door of the shelter, waiting for the strong man to come and harvest the fruits.

In the corridor, a strong man in camouflage uniform was holding a one-foot-long gun at the door, looked at everyone, and said with a crooked smile: "Come on, come on, one person who wants to go in has ten black fruits." ”

"Ten?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at the strong man with a surprised face, and after a long time, a man who was a little bolder asked cautiously: "Brother Yuantai, didn't it turn out that there were all five?" Why are you ten now? ”

"Original? Cut, it turned out that because Lao Tzu didn't come, Lao Tzu had to get ten when he came, and he couldn't do one less. ”

Yuan Tai raised his leg and stepped towards the wall, blocking the one-meter-wide corridor, he raised his chin and scanned everyone, with an arrogant face that Lao Tzu had the final say.

As soon as everyone saw this posture, they knew that they would not hand over ten fruits, and I am afraid that no one would want to enter this shelter today. As a group of ordinary people who have not evolved the ability, everyone neither dares to be angry nor speak, and can only honestly hand in ten black fruits in order to survive, but everyone's hearts are cold.

It is not easy for them to go out on a trip, to avoid thunderstorms, but also to ensure that there is a harvest, sometimes busy for a few days, even ten black fruits can not be picked, handing in five is already the limit, ten is equal to the results they risked their lives to obtain, in the end does not belong to themselves, which is also indirectly considered to be their vitality.

They won't die immediately without the black fruit, but there is no way to stand and talk like now, and do what they can, without the black fruit, they can only lie in bed and wait for death, maybe lucky, they will starve to death before the toxin erodes their brains and tortures people to half-human and half-ghost.

For the residents of Thousand Eyes Lake, starvation is a relatively good ending, at least a whole corpse can be left.

A middle-aged woman pulled the black fruit in the bamboo tube with her fingers, there were not many fruits, but she counted them for a long time, and finally spit out a number helplessly: "Nine." ”

These nine are still all the harvest she has been busy for nearly five or six days, and it is not enough to hand in the number at one time.

The woman was already desperate, looking at the heavier and heavier rain outside, and wanted to plunge headlong into it and let the torrent of thunder and lightning split herself, but her child was still waiting in the dungeon, if she died, how would he live alone?

The woman glanced at the bamboo tube in the hand of her companion next to her, her face suddenly turned red, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, and said, "Xiaoqin, that ......"

The companion noticed the woman's gaze, and then looked at the black fruit that was obviously not enough in her palm, and hurriedly covered the bamboo tube and blocked her next words.

"Dongyang, it's not that I won't give it to you, you also know that I still have two children waiting to eat at home, the fruit handed in this time has doubled, and I can't help it, don't blame me." After speaking, he quickly pointed out ten black fruits, stuffed them into Yuan Tai, and went into the shelter without looking back.

Dongyang looked at her back, his expression froze on his face, but his heart was like a ball of hemp rope.

Xiaoqin is her best friend, the two have grown up in the same street since childhood, married on the front and back, gave birth to their own children a month apart, and their husbands were also killed by lightning because they didn't have time to hide from the rain because they picked fruits, and finally they didn't even leave a complete corpse.

Dongyang thought that Xiaoqin would help herself for the sake of their friends for many years, but he didn't expect that the friendship of more than 30 years was no match for a fruit.

She doesn't blame Xiaoqin, it's not easy for Xiaoqin to live alone with two children, she only blames herself for being incapable, and only blames God for being unfair.

It wasn't until Xiaoqin disappeared at the corner of the corridor that Dongyang came back to her senses, she looked at Heiguo and then at Yuantai, hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to say: "Brother Yuantai, I picked a few of them without eating or drinking in the past few days, you can let me in, and I will definitely make up for it when the rain stops, do you think?" ”

"Go, go, go, go, who's your brother? If there are less than ten, no one will want to enter. ”
