On the street at dusk, two girls walking side by side after school. Each of them held a pictorial in their hands and read it as they walked through the crowd.

The tall girl suddenly held her glasses in her hand and exclaimed: "'Demon Domain City Lord' has won the special prize for comics, and his real name is 'Ling Yu'?!" Her scream caused passers-by to look sideways.

She peeked around and stuck out her tongue.

"yes, you know?" The short girl raised her face and looked at her with a smile, that immersion, she had already forgotten the countless eyes around her, "I knew this person could do it, he was only fifteen years old, and he was quite handsome when he looked at the photos." ”

The tall girl raised her index finger with a wicked smile on her face, tapped her female companion and said, "Ha, the spring heart is moving!" I have an address here, my home is in Wulinwan Village, when will I accompany you to meet you? ”

"you, what nonsense?!" The short girl glared at her shyly, and then said with a yearning look: "But I just like his comics, and in his paintings, girls and boys are very individual." As she spoke, she hugged the new pictorial tightly in her arms.

……

In the classroom, a boy opened a pictorial while packing his school bag.

"Hey, it turns out that the 'Demon City Lord' is the same age as me, and he has published seven works!"

The other boy stretched out his head to take a look, and there was a little jealousy in his voice: "Oh, the boy in the mountain village, it's really not easy to break into this fame, and I'll continue to paint tomorrow." Oh...... What's his name? ”

"Ling Yu, this is his real name, and here is his photo and address."

The boy stretched out his head and looked at it, and said thoughtfully: "Oh, now the TV station's "'Demon City Lord' Big Conjecture" program should also end, it's been three years, and no one knows his true identity." ”

……

In the bright and elegant office, a middle-aged man in a black shirt barely squeezed his fat buttocks into a swivel chair. He lit a cigar and picked up a document on the table, and the warm room was filled with the sweet smell of cigars.

The male secretary hurriedly walked in, holding a pictorial in his hand.

As he walked, he pointed to the photo in the pictorial and said, "Found it, helper, this kid's name is Ling Yu, and he must be Ling Haidong's son!" ”

"Oh?!" The middle-aged man immediately extinguished his cigar and snatched the pictorial with his hand. His two little eyes, squeezed into the fat, stared blankly at the photos in the magazine. Suddenly, his face was slightly distorted, and his eyes suddenly released a clear essence.

His expression was excited, as if he was crazy, and he slapped the pictorial with his fat palm, and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's him, it's him! And Ling Haidong looks like a virtuous person! ”

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he roared hatefully: "Ling Haidong, you are so calculating, you hid your wife and children in the ghost place of Wulin Bay, and let me look hard for fifteen years!" Hum! I want to avenge my sixth child, I want to avenge my master's child!! ”

The secretary stared blankly at the boss, at a loss for a moment.

"Go and find Dai Jin, take a multi-pronged approach tonight, none of them should run, even if they kill a thousand by mistake, they must find these two people!" After the fat man finished speaking, he threw the pictorial into the air at random, and the pictorial crossed an arc and fell into the trash can at the door.

……

The cold wind of late autumn swept across the endless wasteland, mixed with small raindrops. Aconitum Mountain is misty and misty. On the mountain road leading to Wulinwan Village, a mountain bike is speeding in the wind, and two black and stout shock absorbers are constantly swallowing and expanding in the bumps.

The cyclist was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen. He was tall and thin, carrying a large dark blue schoolbag and a lake-blue sweatshirt that wrapped around his thin body. As he walked, he looked at the birthday cake on the handlebar, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Today is his mother's birthday, he deliberately spent more than two hours, ran two cake shops in a row, and came back with a big cake, and he will never forget his mother's birthday.

Ling Yu was born in Wulinwan Village in the Nine Heavens Empire. His mother took him to live a very hard life, and he never saw his father. He began painting at the age of nine. Although it was a little late, he persevered every day and made rapid progress.

Three years ago, he began to publish his own works under the pseudonym of 'Demon City Lord', and since then, he has been able to clean up as soon as he publishes, and soon became one of the few 'great gods' in the comic industry.

In this Imperial Comics Contest, he won four awards alone, including the comprehensive grand prize, the best popularity, and the best modeling, so he became an instant hit and became famous in the nine-day empire comic industry, which is equivalent to paving his future road with flowers, and he is full of expectations for the future.

Today, he is going to have a celebration party with his mother, inviting friends and classmates from the same village to share his joy.

Thinking of his classmates and friends, Ling Yu's smile couldn't help but increase a little. Zuo Xiongfei was his best friend, and after hearing that Ling Yu had won the award, he just pouted and said, "Why do you always let others judge you whether you are good or not?" Why can't you control your own destiny? In this world, everything has to rely on fists to speak! ”

He didn't think so, and even felt a little disgusted by Zuo Xiongfei's statement.

A great plague thousands of years ago took away 99% of humanity on the planet. The remaining less than one percent of the Han nation incorporated the virus gene into the body, and the human gene has undergone major changes since then, establishing a powerful Nine Heavens Empire, and the super strong were born due to years of war. As long as you train properly, your body will become infinitely stronger. Although there are rumors that the cataclysm will strike again in ten years, almost all the media scoffed at the legend.

The most common powerhouses are the three warriors of Bronze, Silver and Venus, each of which is divided into five levels. Zuo Xiongfei is a person who even dreams of becoming a strong man, it is said that he already has the strength of a bronze three-star powerhouse, and he has the strength to fight with the blood wolf.

Although Ling Yu's body can be considered strong, he doesn't like strong people, and his mother doesn't allow him to participate in training. His comics helped a lot of people in the village. In his heart, the elegant cartoonist is a thousand times stronger than the warrior who shouts and kills all day long.

He looked up at the sky, and the clouds were rolling and the sky was getting dark. The autumn thunder is like a tin drum rolling in the sky. The cold wind stirred up waves of grass in the vast wasteland, which lasted for a long time.

Bikes rush along the trail and the small mountain village is right in front of you. There are his playmates for many years, classmates and many kind folks, and it is his home.

Suddenly, the bicycle made a 'squeak' of brakes, and he reflexively stopped, and a sense of foreboding suddenly hit him. In the wind, he smelled the smell of thatched burning smoke, and in Wulinwan Village, there were faint puffs of black smoke coming out and dissipating with the wind.

He rubbed his eyes and looked into the distance again, when several thick tongues of fire suddenly burst into the air, reflecting the gloomy sky in a blood-red color.

"Fire!" Ling Yu exclaimed.

He struggled, his feet pressed hard, and his bike was lightning fast. As the entrance to the village approached, he could see that most of the houses in the village were burning! There was constant cries and unbridled laughter. The firelight reflected the sky red.

In the firelight, he saw several figures shuttling back and forth. Some of them carried long knives, others carried submachine guns, and they shouted lewd jokes, constantly throwing clumps of burning dead grass into the house and onto the roof.

Who are they?! He froze in place, shivering and barely able to move. Those are definitely not from this village, they are the ones who set the fire!

He didn't know what to do!

The next moment, he threw down the car with a "bang" and rushed to the entrance of the village.

Ling Yu rushed to the village desperately, and he shouted loudly as he ran, "Mom——! Mom ——! "Completely reckless of all dangers.

In the firelight, the two black shadows suddenly stopped and looked back.

"Catch that kid! Not a single one can run!! A dark shadow suddenly shouted, and a cyan light flashed around him and rushed towards him.

It was a true Bronze Star warrior, although he was the weakest in the warrior rank, but catching Ling Yu was as easy as catching a chicken.

Ling Yu's eyes were red and his face was hideous.

He roared loudly, "Badass! I've fought with you——! Anger made him completely lose his mind, and he raised his fist and rushed forward.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed in front of him, and a hand pulled him towards the deep grass by the side of the road like lightning.

"That Silver Star powerhouse rescued him! Don't let him run! The two figures behind him flashed with blue light, and the sound of hurried footsteps rang out in a ball. It is impossible to catch up with the Silver Star powerhouse with the strength of the Bronze Star.

Ling Yu only felt like he was flying through the grass like a cloud. The wind whistled in his ears, and the wide blades of grass scratched his face and his hands, and it hurt like a knife. He felt like a rag doll and was weak, allowing the other party to pick it up and run away.

I don't know how far I ran, and finally stopped by the wall of a ruin. He felt a little dizzy and shook his head, and when he saw the scene in front of him, a wave of surprise came to his heart, it was his mother!

"Mom!" Ling Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Mom's beautiful eyes were fixed on him, and she leaned feebly against a low abandoned wall, gasping for breath, a strand of unkempt hair and sweat sticking to her pale face. At the corner of her trembling mouth, there was a bright red bloodstain, which was so dazzling!

"Mom, you're hurt? Those scoundrels, burned down our house! Mother ......" Ling Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and sobbed softly.

"Don't ...... Don't cry, kid. After a while, Ling Yu's mother seemed to have accumulated a little strength, and there was a loving look in her eyes. She sighed and said with a gloomy expression: "A long time ago, someone killed your father and wanted to kill me to eradicate the roots. Now, at last, they have found us, and they have slaughtered the village! She coughed lightly.

"What?! These people are coming for us?! Who are they?! Ling Yu looked at her mother in surprise.

Mom nodded helplessly and said, "Your father has not been heard from and may not be alive." Mom didn't let you learn martial arts because she didn't want you to follow your father's path...... Go away, change your name, and live well. Just stay alive and everything will just begin! ”

"Mom, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Ling Yu asked.

The mother looked at her child lovingly, caressed his face with one hand, and was reluctant to give up, and finally put down her hand and said softly: "What mother is willing to let her child carry such a burden?" Child, you have to be strong, one of my mother's sisters in her early years was named Lin Yingzhen, I don't know where she is, if you touch her, she will take care of you. ”

Lim Young-jin...... I, I don't know her, let's walk together...... Mom, you turned out to be a Silver Star powerhouse, let's go kill them! Mom! Ling Yu looked at the dark night, the wind was gusting around him, he suddenly felt his powerlessness in his heart, he had never been so eager to kill as he was today.

Mom hesitated, but shook her head. She looked at Ling Yu deeply, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "They have a lot of people here, and there are a few silver powerhouses, and my mother can't beat them." If we don't go separately, once they target us, no one will be able to leave....... ”

"Who, get out of here!" A flashlight swept in, and a playful voice sounded: "Haha, damn, Lao Tzu is here to run, Ling Haidong's remnants, they are all there, one big and one small...... Hahaha" The two men in black finally caught up with Ling Yu's mother and son, both of them holding submachine guns in their hands, and walked over cautiously step by step.

Ling Yu's mother stood up like lightning: "Yu'er, go quickly!" ”

"Mom!" Ling Yu shouted, "I'll kill you!" Ling Yu roared loudly and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by his mother.

"It's them, it's them! Ling Haidong's wife and children, the old one is injured, haha, we sent a ......" The two men in black turned on their flashlights, laughed and brushed aside the wild grass, and walked towards Ling Yu's mother and son without any scruples.

"Let's go!" Mother let out a loud shout and pushed Ling Yu into the depths of the barren grass, but she herself met it.

"Mom! Mom!! Ling Yu shouted, but did not return to his mother. He knew that his mother got up to meet the man in black in order to attract him, and she was buying time for herself to escape!

"Mom! Take care, I'm going to kill all the villains in the village, I'm sure to! Ling Yu read in a low voice, and finally glanced at the figure of his mother fighting with the man in black, and with deep unwillingness, he ran deep and shallow towards the depths of the wasteland.
