Volume 1 Eternal Night Ignorance Chapter 1 The Drowned
Humans are actually quite a fragile race.
At least that's what Uncle Chang thinks.
The black wasteland, which humans always claim to be human territory, has become a travesty since the day humans built a barrier and kept themselves in captivity within high walls.
He was so old that he couldn't remember how many of his companions had died under the minions of the deviants. They sprinkled their own flesh and blood on the heavy canopy, just to protect the weak behind them.
He was also young, and he used to pick up a gun and a long knife. He was always told to go to the inner ramparts and stop staying in the villages on the wasteland.
But Uncle Chang always doesn't care, people, there are always a few things worth remembering and being proud of in your life.
He made countless decisions, but only that time did he truly save the world.
......
The boy was picked up by an old couple from the river.
On that day, the spring flood came early, and the upstream river burst its banks, and many small objects, shrimp and fish, were washed up on the riverbank not far from the village.
The village, like most market towns, has no official name, and is covered with thick bricks with four high walls, including wooden houses and a few brick houses.
Every spring flood, the whole village will rush to the river to collect shells and other aquatic creatures under the escort of hunters, and if you are lucky, you can even pick up a watch last year, like Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village.
These things are washed down from a far, far away.
A gentleman who came up from the shelter told the villagers that at the end of the upper reaches of the river, there was probably a city that had luckily avoided a meteorite impact.
Because of the impact of meteorites, the river was diverted, passing through a certain corner of the city, and then in the spring it washed down a lot of things that were exposed to the surface.
The gentleman picked up a soaked book by the river and looked very happy. After spending a night in the village, he hastily hired a guard to take refuge in the shelter.
And the Chang couple also rushed to the river when Chunhong came.
When they were about to pack up their things and go back to the village in the evening, the Chang couple saw a dark shadow floating on the river.
The beach was one of those gravel and sand paved with reeds on the bank, and a dark shadow floated not far from the reeds.
Curious, Uncle Chang picked up the long bamboo pole beside him, squatted beside the reeds, and stared at it with a frown for a while. The shadow didn't look lifeless, and it didn't look like a big fish in the river. In the end, I decided to get that thing up, maybe something of value.
He thrust the long pole diagonally into the shadow and the other side of the riverbank, and pulled it over.
When he hit the reeds, he raised his trousers and stepped into the mud and grabbed the black shadow.
The light was so faint that the elder couldn't see what it was, so he grabbed the cloth and dragged it ashore.
Aunt Chang took a flashlight on the ground, just as Uncle Chang turned it over, and a human face was revealed.
Uncle Chang also fought in the mercenary team when he was young, and he had seen many terrifying scenes, so he calmly dragged people to the shore for some distance.
In his opinion, this man would definitely not survive after soaking in the water for so long, he just wanted to feel in his pocket to see if there was anything.
"Kid and his father, this dead man's wealth, isn't it good?" Aunt Chang said worriedly, holding a flashlight in her left hand and shining it on the people lying on the river beach.
"It's okay, the people who fought and got rich in the war relied on the money of the dead, and now they don't live well." Uncle Chang didn't care.
Under the light of the flashlight, they found that the person who was fished up was very young and quite strong, and they couldn't help but secretly shake their heads in their hearts and regret it, after all, looking at the clothes and wounds on their bodies, ten out of ten were killed in battle.
Out of habit, Uncle Chang still reached out to probe the young man's snort, but was surprised to find that the man was not dead!
"the kid, quick, call Dr. Rong! Go notify others! He's not dead yet!" Uncle Chang hurriedly shouted.
"Okay, you help him press out the stagnant water first, be careful not to save him!"
Uncle Chang was about to look down to check the man's injury, but in the corner of his eye, he saw another black shadow floating on the river!
It's just that this time the size is much smaller, Uncle Chang picked up the bamboo pole and picked up the things ashore again, this time he was really startled, and he was alone!
He was shocked in his heart, because the person he caught this time turned out to be an extremely beautiful little girl, with a delicate face, a dark and healthy complexion, and her eyes were closed as if she was asleep.
Uncle Chang gritted his teeth and sniffed, and sure enough, even this little girl was still breathing, and her heartbeat was strong, as if she was asleep.
Uncle Chang estimated in his heart, and it seemed that the little girl had no problem for the time being, so he went to help give first aid to the man and press out the accumulated water in his chest and lungs.
"Where are the people? I'm afraid you're not mistaken, even the most familiar people are afraid of drowning when they rush down so far away. ”
The middle-aged man who spoke poked his head over, and an imperceptible disgust flashed in Uncle Chang's eyes.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man and shook his head, "It's pitiful, I died in battle." He reached into the pocket of the young man's jacket.
"Wang Zhaoan, what are you doing? They're not dead yet?"
"We rescued him, and it was only natural for him to give him some money to repay the favor, right?" Wang Zhaoan snorted, quite displeased.
"First, I rescued people, what are you doing? Second, even if people want to repay their kindness, they have to wait for them to wake up!" Uncle Chang slapped Wang Zhaoan's hand away and said disdainfully.
Wang Zhaoan walked away stupidly, muttering, "Damn, didn't he just fight for a few years, Chang Lao Ghost is really arrogant, wait for his son to leave, see if I don't kill him!"
When he passed by the little girl, he glanced at it, and then his eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart, what a beautiful girl!
My son is also fourteen or fifteen years old, so it would be wonderful to raise a little girl for a few years to be a daughter-in-law to my son!
I just don't know that the little girl is still alive?
He crouched down and touched the girl's neck, overjoyed in his heart.
Feel the soft touch on your hands, although the little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, she can be born very beautiful. Wang Zhaoan looked at the little girl who was not covered by her clothes, and the evil fire in her heart jumped up.
Afraid of what? There are a lot of little girls in the village!
He comforted himself.
After thinking about it, my hand unconsciously touched down, and my breathing became heavy!
————————————————————————
Takutaan felt like he was being encased in warm water.
She felt as if she had forgotten something very important.
Like- Who is she?
She looked around and saw a man floating not far away, his face very familiar.
It is as if she has lived with a man for more than ten years since she was born.
Confused and a little flustered, she followed the animal's most primitive instincts and swam to the person closest to her intuition.
She felt painful, she was confused, it was a fear of knowing nothing about the world.
But it didn't leave her much time, and after a few moments, her consciousness was out of this strange world.
She woke up and finally opened her eyes.
————————————————————————
Wang Zhaoan saw the little girl open her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth, after all, in his experience, the most likely reaction of the little girl was to scream.
But the next second he was horrified to find that he had actually flew!
He slammed into a tree, wailed in pain, and fell to his knees vomiting blood.
The little girl looked at her fist in confusion, and it was a reflex that she had hidden deep in her muscles, so that she was now a little confused.
She turned her head to look around, it was a little dark, and she was lying on the rocky beach, and the wind was blowing on her, but she didn't feel cold.
Footsteps were heard in the distance, and a group of villagers with torches arrived, but no one helped Wang Zhaoan up. Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Takutaan, who had already sat up, his long wet hair and tattered clothes made for an impulsive picture, but the man who was coughing up blood kept waking all the men.
"This, this is what I always say, the little girl who is seriously injured and dies frequently?"
"Doesn't Chang be kidding us, is he?"
"I don't think so, I am usually so honest and trustworthy. I think this little girl is ten out of ten mutants, it's good luck!"
Onlookers whispered.
At this time, she saw a man lying on the ground, his pupils shrank, he struggled to get up, and ran quickly.
She thought about it for a while, and found that she didn't know what to call the man in front of her who looked kind, so she had to hesitate and said cautiously, "Brother?"
Strangely, the man in front of her gave her an extremely complicated feeling, very kind, very familiar, very ...... Gnash one's teeth? What is this emotion?
Uncle Chang, who was squatting next to the man, was startled by Takutaan, and said in surprise: "Girl, why did you wake up so quickly?" Are you okay? Would you like to ask Dr. Yung to take a look at it for you?"
Doctor Rong, who came in a hurry, glanced at Takutaan, opened the first aid kit, and said, "Lao Chang, the little girl is very good, but the one who is lying down is dying!"
When she heard the word 'death', Takuta An's head was shocked, and the image of a man in a black dress appeared in her mind, and she felt fear!
It seems that that person is the culprit of all this.
