Chapter 0285 - Hope (The Sixth Break the Million Words)
Snowflakes in the sky, dancing in the cold wind.
The white bones everywhere make this place like hell!
And such a place is the so-called Land of Doom!
For example, the smoke city is very large, this big city that has just been established less than a year ago, the ten-meter-high walls, full of scars, as if it has been printed with the rings of history, it seems to have existed for a long, long time!
On the city wall, a young girl leaned against the wall alone, sitting in the battlement, looking at the sky in the west.
Her face is very pure, but her body is very hot.
The girl was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a short-sleeved black t-shirt, although the clothes were not tight, but they still could not hide her beautiful curves.
How long have you been separated from him?
Four months? I think it's almost there!
The girl was calculating in her heart, and the expression on her face became a little sad.
Why was she so useless that she was forcibly brought back here by her father?
What made her even more angry was that the damn bad guy didn't have any affection for her at all, and just watched her being taken away?
Thinking of this, the girl's sad expression turned into a grievance! She looked like a little woman who had been abandoned by her husband.
Then this complaining little woman is Liu Xia.
At this moment, a real woman and a young man came up from the stairs.
When the woman saw Liu Xia's figure, she sighed and said, "Xia Xia, why did you run to the city wall again, and you are wearing so little, beware of catching a cold!" ”
Liu Xia turned his head and immediately frowned when he saw the woman and the young man.
She turned her head back out of the city, looked to the west, and said, "Mom! Who in these last days has ever caught a cold? Grandpa Tai is right, our human physique has changed because of the existence of the T virus! We are the lucky ones in the last days, not only have we not become zombies, but we have all become healthy babies, so don't worry about it! ”
The woman and the young man had already walked to Liu Xia's side, and when she said this, the young man smiled and said, "Haha! Liu Xia, what you said is so right, I really don't see anyone getting sick now! But if you wear so little, it's always going to get cold, right? ”
Liu Xia didn't look at him, but said coldly: "First, people don't get sick, I didn't say it, my grandfather said it!" Second, what does it have to do with you whether I'm cold or not! Third, you are the son of the deputy city lord and the commander of the army in the city, why do you bother me every day if you don't use your experience against the City of Nations? ”
The young man smiled awkwardly, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The woman hurriedly said, "Xia Xia! Why are you talking to Yun Feng like that? It's so rude! ”
Liu Xia pursed his mouth and sneered: "Mom! If you want me to marry Deng Yunfeng, it's what you and your father mean! I've already said it, I don't agree! If you really do it for my good and for his good, don't waste each other's time trying to match us! Although his father is the deputy city lord, he can't force me! ”
After speaking, Liu Xia raised his right hand, and then on the white palm, the flames rose all at once.
It was not the first time that the woman and the young man named Deng Yunfeng had seen Liu Xia perform his abilities, but every time they saw it, they were still shocked!
This ability to raise your hand to make the palm of your hand give birth to flames is too sci-fi, and they are deeply shocked, again and again!
In the face of Liu Xia's indifference, Deng Yunfeng was very annoyed in his heart, but his face did not show any expression.
When the shocked mood slowly calmed down, Deng Yunfeng smiled slightly and said to the woman: "Aunt Chen Lin! You and Liu Xia are chatting here! I won't bother, I originally brought you here just to help you find Liu Xia! Liu Xia is right, there are still many things in the city that I need to deal with, so I will leave! ”
Chen Lin, that is, Liu Xia's mother, hurriedly nodded politely at Deng Yunfeng, and then watched him leave.
Seeing Deng Yunfeng's figure disappear into the city, Chen Lin sighed slightly, and then said, "Xia Xia, why are you so stubborn?" Yun Feng, this kid is really good, he looks very good, and he has a lot of rights in the city, if people want to live better in the last days, don't they need to rely on something? Mom and Dad are all thinking about you! ”
Liu Xia put away the flame in his hand and said lightly: "Mom! When the catastrophe just broke out, the whole family was ready to flee, why did you leave your grandfather behind? Is it just because he's dying? ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, his mouth moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Liu Xia had a bitter smile on his face and said, "I know, at that time, Grandpa Tai forced you to let you go with death!" You can't help it! But is there no way to watch him stay home alone? He couldn't take care of himself at the time, which meant that after we left, he would starve to death! ”
Tears welled up in Chen Lin's eyes, and he whispered, "Liu Xia! Don't say any more! At that time, we just wanted the whole family to survive! That's what your grandfather thinks, too! ”
Liu Xia sighed, nodded and said:
"Mom! I know! I don't mean to blame anyone for saying this! Because no one is wrong!
I just think that people are really selfish, and people can always find reasons for being selfish.
Just like now, when you say that you want me to marry someone I don't love for my own good.
Mom, I think you and Dad are very selfish, you are arranging my life in the way you want, this is a kind of selfishness.
I was going to leave when I just returned to Ruyan City, but you cried and told me not to leave, because of your sadness, I didn't leave you in the end, but now I regret it, because of your selfish love for me, Mom, I am likely to lose a man who may fall in love for a lifetime!
Mom, do you know how much pain I was in at this point? ”
Chen Lin was stunned when she heard Liu Xia's words, she didn't expect her daughter's resentment towards her to be so deep.
Liu Xia got down from the battlement, then stood in front of Chen Lin, looked at her stunned mother, smiled, and said:
"Mom, don't be sad! I don't say this to blame you for anything.
Because it was the combination of you and my dad that brought me into this world, I can only be grateful!
This is just like having our family because of our grandfather, we should all be grateful!
Okay, I'm going to find a place where no one is around! I should be on the verge of breaking through to the second-level sword god body by now!
When I break through, I must go to him, and if you still stop me, Mom, I may not be listening to you! I'm sorry! ”
After speaking, Liu Xia turned around and walked towards the staircase of the city wall.
Chen Lin took two steps and said, "Liu Xia, do you really like that man?" I heard your father say that he seems to be ugly! And you don't seem to have known each other for long, right? ”
Liu Xia's body paused, did not look back, and said, "I'm not sure either!" I just knew at this point that I was going to go back to him and stay with him forever! Whether this counts as love or not, who can tell? In the past few months of living in Ruyan City, I have no love in my heart, and in the last days, love seems to be only a luxury! ”
After saying this, Liu Xia raised his head and stood on the city wall overlooking the entire city like smoke!
This great city is divided into two parts. The rich area in the east of the city and the slum area in the west of the city!
The two regions are the same size, but the population ratio is four to one! 10,000 people live in the wealthy area in the east of the city, and the remaining 40,000 people live in the civilian area in the west of the city.
The ratio of two-faced people to materials is nine to one! For example, if there are 100 catties of rice, those in the east of the city can get 90 catties, while those in the west of the city can only get 10 catties!
Liu Xia sighed!
The land of doom, the three major cities, this smoke-like city in front of you is already the most well-intentioned place, although the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, at least everyone can still live in order to survive!
So what does Sanssouci City and the City of Nations look like? It's hard to imagine!
This section of the city wall where Liu Xia stood is the junction between the east and west of the city.
On the west side of the city, not far from where Liu Xia was standing, a thin man in his forties with an ugly appearance was holding a rough cornmeal in his hand, stunned.
This is all he has left after working for a month!
Nowadays, it is a very lucky thing to be able to find a job in the rich area!
He is a lonely man, his wife and children have long been separated in the last days, and his parents and family members don't know where they are, he is a person who lives to survive.
Looking at this hard cake, he was reluctant to eat it, because if he ate it, he would have nothing!
At this moment, an even more thin little girl came out of the nearby shantytown, came to the man's side, looked at the bread in the man's hand, and swallowed her saliva.
The man spotted the little girl's cunzài, cautiously took the cake into his arms, and then looked at her vigilantly.
The little girl hadn't gotten anything to eat for a day, and now that it was winter, it was even more difficult to get food.
It snowed all night last night, and the little girl got some snow to eat in the morning in the midst of a group of children's scrambling, but this thing could not fill her stomach at all.
She is just twelve years old, her father has turned into a zombie, and only her mother is with her.
My mother didn't have a job, so she went to sleep with the men every day in exchange for meager food so that they could survive!
But business is not good these days! The men in the slums seem to be hungry and have no strength to find a woman to sleep with!
The little girl swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and then finally couldn't hold back her hunger, and said to the man timidly: "Uncle, do you think I look good?" I'll sleep with you, will you give me a bite of bread to eat? If you can give me an extra bite so that my mother can eat too, I can sleep with you tomorrow too! ”
Liu Xia, who was only more than fifty meters away from them, burst into tears in an instant!
She has seen such a scene many times in the past few months! But there was nothing she could do to stop it! Because it's so hard to get food these days! Then this kind of practice of women exchanging skin for food has become very common.
This is the real edge of doom!
People's lives have been miserrated to such an extent, who can afford to have such an unrealistic thing as love? Liu Xia only felt that his heart was about to be broken.
The man was stunned for a moment, and he reached out and touched the thin little girl's face.
When Liu Xia saw this scene, she really wanted to rush over immediately and kill that man, but she didn't dare to do it! Because if this man is guilty and should be killed, then most people in this smoke city should die!
The man touched the little girl's face, his hands slowly trembled, and then he said, "What a sensible girl! Still thinking about my mother! If my daughter were still alive, she would be that old! ”
After speaking, he took out the piece of corn cake in his arms, reluctantly stuffed it into the pocket of the little girl's clothes, and said, "Go back quickly!" Don't let people see, although the guards in the city are now very strict about robbery and theft, but the food is getting scarcer, and people will always take risks in the face of hunger! Go back and eat it with your mother! Don't think about staying, or it won't necessarily go into someone's belly tomorrow! ”
The little girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said thank you to the man.
And the man urged her to leave quickly!
At this moment, Liu Xia was stunned! She didn't expect things to turn out like this!
Looking at the ugly-looking and skinny man, Liu Xia suddenly felt that his tears seemed to flow even more violently!
