There is no shortage of orphans in this world at any time, and this is especially true in the last days, where a new group of orphans will be created after each beast attacks the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, those who have cultivation talent among these orphans will be quickly collected by the major forces, and those who do not have cultivation talent also have a way out, that is, to join the security team of Changhu City.

It is an organization of similar nature to the Shanghai City Guards, mainly responsible for the defense of Changhu City, of course, more people call this a cannon fodder team, after all, there is no miracle wall in Changhu City, and the casualty rate of ordinary people facing fierce beasts is outrageously high.

However, even such a "cannon fodder team" is not for everyone, and it will definitely give priority to those who are tall and strong, and Song Qi is such a poor worm who can't even enter the "cannon fodder team".

He is seventeen years old this year, but he is only 1.6 meters tall and weighs less than 100 kilograms, so it is naturally impossible for him to be selected with his physique, after all, his physique is likely to not even be able to pull the bolt.

If you are in another place, there are only two choices for orphans like Song Qi, either to live on the streets hungry and hungry, and I don't know if they may starve to death one day, or to sell their lives to those hunting groups and earn some living rations with a mortality rate several times higher than that of the "cannon fodder team".

However, Song Qi has another choice in Changhu City, that is, to go to the mining area to mine, as long as there are hands and feet in the mining area, most of them can still mix a bite of food, but unfortunately the underworld forces have it there, and of course a place like the mining area is mixed.

With a muffled sound, Song Qi was kicked away by a tall and strong young man, and then the piece of ore he had been holding in his arms also reached Xiao Yong's hand, and it was not until Xiao Young walked away that Song Qi struggled to get up from the ground.

Looking at the blood blisters on his hands and the hunger in his stomach that seemed to be devouring him like a black hole, Song Qi felt a deep despair, and dug out the piece of chrome ore just now that had squeezed out the last bit of his physical strength.

He struggled to dig another piece, endured the pain caused by the blood blisters in his hand rubbing against the rough hoe, and tried to lift the hoe in his hand, which was not too light for him, but only halfway through the hoe fell back to the ground with a clatter.

Song Qi himself was also in front of him, and he almost fainted on the ground, even if he barely insisted on not fainting, his eyes were full of gold stars, and his whole body was in a cold sweat.

Obviously, if he couldn't find anything to eat, he would starve in the streets and die silently, just like the people he had seen before who had fallen and never got up.

Song Qi is now beginning to regret it, regretting that he didn't have the courage to go to those hunting groups to sign up for the death squad, if he had participated at that time, at least he would have been able to die a full ghost, and if he was lucky, maybe he wouldn't have to die.

It's a pity that he realized a little too late, with his current situation, even if he wants to join the death squad, there will be no hunting group to ask for him, there are so many people who want to sell their lives these days, even if the death squad requirements are low, they will not want a person who is dying.

"Hiring! Hiring! Orphans with sound limbs can apply! As long as you sign up, you can get a steamed bun! When Song Qi was still struggling on the verge of death, he suddenly smelled a fragrance of food, originally he thought it was a hallucination he had before he died, but the next sound made him feel shocked.

Song Qi didn't know where he got the strength, so he got up from the ground all of a sudden, almost instinctively found the source of the fragrance, grabbed a white and soft thing, and stuffed it into his mouth and gnawed wildly without looking.

Just one bite, the white thing was gnawed off by Song Qi by a third, he didn't chew it, he swallowed it directly into his stomach, and of course he almost choked to death.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and hurriedly lay down on a small puddle on the ground and sucked a few mouthfuls of water before swallowing it with difficulty, maybe it was a psychological effect, but after having something in his stomach, Song Qi felt that he had suddenly regained the ability to think.

While nibbling on the big white and soft steamed buns, he looked around, only to see that all the people around him were munching on the steamed buns, but although most of them were gobbling up, no one was as embarrassed as him, and he was almost choked to death by the food.

Not far away, there was a middle-aged man with two strong men standing aside, and there were four empty barrels on the ground, and from the debris remaining in the barrels, it was not difficult to see that these four buckets should have been filled with steamed buns, but they had been looted at this time.

The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Song Qi and they had eaten almost the steamed buns, and then said, "Okay, since they have all eaten almost, then come with me." ”

Most of the people, including Song Qi, followed the middle-aged man honestly when they heard the words, although they didn't know where to go or what they were going to do, but since they ate each other's things, they must have no chance to resist.

Especially Song Qi, after the experience of almost starving to death just now, he can do whatever he is asked to do, as long as he doesn't have to starve anymore, the feeling of being so hungry that his eyes are full of gold stars is really unforgettable.

But some people were not happy, and only heard a frivolous voice say, "Hey, you haven't said what you're going to do!" I can't eat one of your steamed buns and have to sell you my life, right? ”

Song Qi, who was standing at the back, looked at the sound, but saw that it was the young man who had snatched his ore before, and when he was still guessing how the middle-aged man would respond, a strong man behind the middle-aged man had already stepped forward and twisted the young man's neck with a click.

Only then did the middle-aged man sneer and said: "My Zhao Bao's steamed buns are not so delicious, and if you eat them, I will treat you as a sign-up, now who still has any questions?" ”

Although killing chickens and monkeys is a trick that has been used badly, it is still the most effective means, after killing the young chicken, all the people who ate steamed buns honestly followed behind the middle-aged man, Song Qi took a look, it is estimated that there must be hundreds of people here.

At this time, he heard the two people in front of him whispering, saying that this middle-aged man named Zhao Bao seemed to be under the command of some big man, and he was a murderous master, and at the same time despised the young man for not being knowledgeable.

Song Qi didn't participate in their discussion, just silently followed behind them, but the energy that a steamed bun could provide was really not much, and after walking for more than half an hour, he became hungry again, and he couldn't move his legs anymore.

Fortunately, they also happened to arrive at their destination at this time, it was a magnificent-looking manor, Song Qi saw Zhao Bao, who was coaxing before, but at this time he was very humble and talking to a young man, and then Zhao Bao handed them over to the young man in front of him.

Song Qi originally thought that it was time to announce their fate, but he didn't expect that the young man just led them all the way inside, and finally came to an empty square, and to his surprise, there were already nearly a thousand people of their age waiting here.

These people all have a common characteristic, that is, they are basically yellow and thin, and it can be seen that they are all people who have not lived very well in some days.

The young man had brought them here, motioned for them to stay where they were, and then he went up to a high platform in the middle of the square, as if to announce something.

At this moment, Song Qi suddenly felt unprecedentedly calm, he felt that it didn't matter what the other party wanted him to do next, whether it was to make him fight with the beast, or to use him as an experimental object for human experiments, he didn't care anymore, he just wanted to have a real full meal before he died, and the feeling of being hungry was too uncomfortable.

It's just that what the young man said next made Song Qi feel the urge to pluck his ears, because he felt that he must have heard it wrong.

Can the owner of this manor help them become cultivators?!

And from now on, you will be able to eat a full meal at every meal?!

All they need to pay is to serve the owner of the manor?!

Song Qi was already stunned, the development of this matter was completely beyond his expectations, and he wanted to rush out now to ask if the young man had taken the wrong line, how could there be such a good thing in the world!

Not long ago, he was a poor worm who was about to starve to death, but now someone told him that not only would he be able to eat enough for every meal in the future, but he could even become a cultivator.

Not only Song Qi, but everyone on the field was stunned by the huge surprise, they didn't even let out any shouts of surprise, they just looked around blankly, as if they wanted to determine if they were just hallucinating.

It turned out that it was not, and while they were still immersed in disbelief, countless people had already carried plates of food to the square.

Two bean-sized tears burst out of Song Qi's eyes in an instant, and at this moment, he felt that the owner of this manor must be a messenger sent by the gods to save them......
