Chapter 157: Shadow
His eyes were closed, he felt that his breath was still there, and he told her, but she still didn't believe it, and he really made it into a half-dead state.
No pain!
He opened his eyes, his head slightly raised, the axe slamming into the armrest, the thick metal pipe breaking in two.
The woman pulled away the axe, put it on her shoulder, and said, "I believe that it is indeed difficult to split the handcuffs at once, but it is not difficult to split the long pipe at all. ”
He nodded dumbly, and the handcuffed hoops slid through the pipe, breaking free from the breach.
The woman's eyes widened, and the axe rested on his shoulder, "What's your name as the guy who salivates more than tea?"
"I ......," he said, bearing the weight of the axe, staring at the woman's black and white eyes, "I have died once, and my name must be changed, if you keep me by my side, I will definitely be with you, and I will never abandon you, as for the name, you will come up with it." ”
"Hmph, you're really good at flattering, I don't care where you go, but don't keep following me, the guy who hates verbose the most. ”
"I know I'm verbose, I'll change, please give me a chance, I'll never leave you. ”
"Again, I hate verbose people the most. ”
"Yes. He smiled and removed the axe from his shoulder and handed it back, "And what's your name?"
"Sheng pear. ”
"Wow, what a nice name!"
"Any more flattery will split you. ”
She got out of the car with her axe, and he quickly followed, "Wait, what is my name?"
"Love is whatever it is. ”
"I promise to be with you, so it's called Shadow. ”
"It's too shivering. ”
"I also think the name is a bit wordy, so it's called Shadow. ”
She turned and glared, the axe resting around his neck, "I mean you're verbose." ”
Under the sun, in an empty city, a man and a woman walk down the street.
Shadow's body shook a few times and sat on the ground, touched his belly and said, "I can't walk." ”
Pear dragged her toes forward, "Stupid, sit in the sun all the time, and it will dry in five minutes." ”
"Pear, I remember three days ago at dusk, we ate a piece of corn, my stomach yo, I have forgotten the taste of food. He looked at his skinny hands, "It's too painful to starve to death, it's better to die in the sun." ”
She didn't look back and said, "Then I won't care about you." ”
The shadow lay down in a big word, and the back of the pear gradually became smaller in the steaming steam on the ground.
At night, Pear stepped on the broken glass door and walked into a supermarket, the shelves were empty, and the food had already been looted.
She sat on the ground next to the empty shelf, rustling, hearing the sound of footsteps breaking glass, she reached out and took a wrench from the shelf, shrunk in the corner, the sound got closer and closer, and waited for a foot in leather shoes to appear, the wrench waved over, "oh" A man fell to the floor with his feet covered.
"Why are you again?" said Pear, dropping the wrench on the ground.
"I said I wanted to be your shadow, and of course I wanted to follow you. Shadow got up, and stroked his trouser legs, bruised, "It's good that you're hungry and don't have the strength, otherwise my foot bones would have been broken by you." ”
He crawled over and sat next to her, and the two of them no longer had the strength to go in any other direction.
Squeak, a secret door of the supermarket opened, and out came an uncle with a beard.
Pear picked up the wrench and looked at the uncle.
"Hey, take it easy, I don't mean anything. ”
Her wrench was pointed straight at the uncle, and Shadow staggered to her feet from the ground, "Who are you?"
"I should ask, what are you doing in my shop?" said the uncle to them from a distance of three meters.
"If you're tired of walking, come in and rest. ”
The uncle smiled, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, you want to come in and grab things, just like the group of homeless people a few days ago, they smashed and looted the store when they saw it." ”
Shadow pointed at him and said, "So what? After the ice plague, there was a shortage of food, and you unscrupulous merchants hoarded it for personal use, and the whole city was littered with corpses. Now I can't even care about the police, if you don't get along, you can come and fight it alone. ”
The uncle pulled out a dagger, lowered his fingers, and sat back on the ground with his head bowed.
"You must be hungry, and if you are more relaxed, I can give you a can of sardines. ”
"Sardine ......" Shadow's eyes blinked.
Uncle put away his dagger, "Come in with me." He walked into the tunnel.
Pear walks in with a wrench, and Shadow follows behind her.
Walking down a flight of stairs, the uncle waited in front of a wooden door.
"Wait outside the door, you come in with me. He pointed to the pear.
Shadow stood in front and said, "I'll go in with you." ”
The uncle shook his head, "If you show you a room full of food, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, I'll be more at ease if you let her in." ”
When Shadow heard that the room was full of food, her Adam's apple squirmed.
Pear pushed him away and followed the uncle into the room.
As soon as the door closed, it was dark inside, until a yellowed electric light came on, and there were several empty iron frames inside, and a female corpse lay on the ground, curled up, hands and feet tied behind her back, and the supermarket logo was printed on the chest of blue and white overalls.
"Oh, I thought you were going to scream. The uncle squinted and leaned over, sniffed at her, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "She is my employee, and after the ice disaster, we were trapped in this dark room and spent a sweet month." It was a paradise with food, drink, and women, but then a group of homeless people rushed into the store and snatched everything, and life became difficult, and the beautiful female clerk did not eat for a whole week, and starved to death. ”
"Food. Her voice came through the mask.
"Sardines, of course I remember, but there is no such thing as a world that does not come for nothing. ”
"I'll give you all the money. ”
"Hehe, in the last days they are waste paper. The uncle walked around behind her and hugged her with open hands, "I want you." ”
Pear stood motionless, "Will you pay for food?"
The uncle grabbed her right arm, which was holding the wrench, and whispered in his ear, "I can't help you now." He lifted the corner of his mask and gasped and kissed the red lips.
The woman in his arms didn't resist, his kiss went to his face, but it was sunken with the mask. He was stunned, untied the woman's mask, "...... you" took a few steps back, stumbled on the female corpse with his heels, and fell to the ground with a snap.
Pear came with a wrench, and he rubbed his feet and moved back, "Don't ...... Come here, ugly. ”
"The food was there. Pear waved her wrench and stared at a pair of dark eyes embedded in her sunken face.
"Just kidding, the sardines are just for me to eat. The uncle touched his waist, the holster was empty, and he looked at the ground, there was nothing but the female corpse.
"Are you looking for it?" Pear pulled out her hand in her pocket, holding a dagger in her hand.
The uncle was stunned, "So you ...... just now"
The sunken face suddenly came to him, "Where's the sardine?" and the wrench slammed down on his head.
Shadow touched his forehead and paced, and there was a ding-dong sound in the room, and as soon as his footsteps stopped, he put his ear to the wooden door and listened, "Pear, are you okay?"
"You stay outside, don't come in. ”
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her voice, but his brow grew furrowed.
Pear's gaze turned back, and the uncle covered his sparsely haired head, and the blood spilling from his fingers was so red that his face was red.
"I said one last time, where is the food hidden?" Pear approached the uncle who was huddled in the corner, and raised the wrench above his head.
The uncle raised his arm to block, "Wait, it's not worth losing your life for food, I'll give it to you, give it all to you." He crawled forward, took apart a wall of bricks, reached into the hole, and found a golden can.
The pear took it and saw that it was a can of sardines that was close to its expiration date, and when I looked down, there was a hole in the hole.
The uncle said to her next to the wall, "This is the last jar of stock in the store, and there is nothing else." ”
The pear was put in his pocket, the wrench was thrown into the far corner, and the hand was replaced with a dagger.
"What do you want to do?" the uncle leaned his back against the wall, his head tilted to his left shoulder, avoiding the sharp edge of the knife.
"I need your liver. ”
"Ahh
Shadow flipped his wrist and looked at his watch with a frown: "It's been twenty minutes, why hasn't it come out yet, can it take so long to get a can of things?" The commotion just now is still so loud, are they ...... inside" His hand reached for the doorknob and retracted again, "She warned me not to go in, what should I do?" He plugged his ears and sat on the ground.
Click, the doorknob turned, Pear came out of the room, he got up and ran over, "Pear, it's okay, did that bastard bully you?" When the door closed automatically, I saw the uncle lying on the ground through the crack in the door, his eyes were open, and his upper body was wrapped in a coat.
"Let's go. Her voice came through her mask.
Pear silently leaves to climb the stairs, and Ei follows her out of the supermarket, across an uninhabited street, and sits down on a pile of miscellaneous items around the corner, lighting a bonfire out of the wood of a broken couch.
Shadow covered his stomach and said, "I heard the sound of stomach acid digesting the stomach, it was so uncomfortable." A golden can was handed over, he grabbed it in his hand, touched the sardine pattern on the sticker, swallowed his saliva, and stuffed the can back into her hand.
She was stunned, "You don't eat?"
"I can't eat what you've worked so hard for. He said with his head down.
"It's hard, it's not hard at all, it's easy to get it. ”
"Easy!" he stupidly took the can, "you and him, too, too casual ......"
"What are you talking about, do you eat it or not? If you don't eat it, you will take it back. ”
His stomach was sore, and he grabbed the can and said, "Eat, eat." "Pick open the pull tab, lift the iron sheet of the seal, and take a deep breath of the overflowing fish fragrance. He picked up a small piece of brown fish and brought her the rest.
The pear pushed back, "I've eaten it." ”
"Did he give two cans? Strange, looking at his lewd appearance, he didn't look like a generous man. He must have taken a fancy to you, the confused eyes just now...... "The shadow was stunned, the food was stuck in his throat, "Could it be that you are in the room, and you have come twice...... Then the time was right. ”
"What are you arguing about. Pear was adding wood to the fire, not listening to what he was nagging.
Shadow ate all the fish pieces, licked the oil droplets in the can, took it with his ten fingers, and then grabbed the pear's hands and said, "In the future, I will repay you well, even if it is in the form of death, I am willing." ”
Pear pushed away his still saliva hands and put a dagger against his throat, "If you talk more, cut off your tongue." ”
He closed his mouth and raised his hands.
