Chapter 1: The Eyes in a Dream

Next Chapter

It's this dream again—

He didn't know what it tasted like, but the smell made him unable to suppress it, and he stretched out his hand to try to swallow it all, as if he knew that this was the only way to live.

"Eat, eat them, you can grow up well, and you can have great power!"

Gentle voices echoed in his world.

"Who is it? Who's out there? ”

He was curious, and the voice he relied on made him want to open his eyes and leave this small place.

"Giggles, this must be a sturdy little fellow, my future king!"

A crisp laugh, a gentle palm gently caressing his body through a layer of soft skin.

"Is it Mom?"

His whole body trembled, he had never seen his mother before, but he was so weak, so weak that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Eat—Eat—Eat—

He needed strength, and he desperately wanted to go out and take a look.

The black world faded away, but to his horror it was a world of red and black.

The red faded like a veil, like a delicate veil, and he seemed to see everything outside—

It was a row of people trembling and full of horror and despair—

His gaze changed suddenly, and in a trance, he seemed to see a beautiful woman gently nibbling on a severed arm—and a blood-colored pupil in the woman's abdomen that shone with a strange red light.

Ahh

The dream was shattered, everything seemed to have never appeared, but it had been with him for more than ten years, it was a terrible nightmare.

"I hope that day never comes—"

Silently chanting his heart, he had a strong fear in his heart, he was not afraid of death, but he still had to do something, he didn't dare to imagine how long he would be able to live once he really became that kind of cannibalistic monster.

He stood in the darkness of the night and looked at the hazy light in the distance, his thin body running like a death prisoner who had been pardoned, and where his star of hope was located.

……

In the middle of the night, a coiled and distorted band of light circled around the dark earth, and from time to time searchlights swept left and right, and its density almost covered the distance of the light band for miles.

People living in District 11 are no strangers to this place, this light belt in the middle of the night is a separation zone, a circle is more than ten meters high, almost occupying most of the power grid in District 11, as far as the searchlight can reach, the vast land outside has long been shrouded in terrifying radiation.

The slums, where sixty percent of the population of the 11th district are gathered, these people are scattered between the high walls of the noble district and the isolated power grid, and when the danger is attacked, these people are the time weight for the noble district lords to retreat.

The young figure slowly appeared outside the isolation zone, he hid behind an abandoned earthen wall, a pair of bright eyes staring at the pillar of light that swept by from time to time, and in his arms, carefully holding a strange orchid.

This kind of orchid is very rare, and it can only be seen occasionally in the radiation zone, which is his luck, because he is not the only one who comes out to try his luck, in fact, only a young body like him can pass through the isolation grid, so to speak, they are an organization, an organization that hovers between life and death by luck.

Getting such an orchid, he could sell it to the eldest lord from the aristocratic district at the free market, it was enough for him and his sister to live a good life, and the young man thought in his heart that he wanted to keep this orchid privately.

Of course, if you do this, you will inevitably be punished to a certain extent, and every day there will be friends who die in front of him under the punishment, but when he thinks of his sister's innocent and lovely smile, he doesn't feel afraid at all, but he must now pass through the isolation zone, once he is discovered, he will be greeted by a rain of bullets.

"One-two-three-"

He silently counted the numbers in his heart, and after counting to three, he gritted his teeth violently, strung out from behind the earthen wall, and rushed towards the isolation net as fast as he could.

Da Da Da - Da -

Dense gunfire could be heard in the distance, and watchtowers spewed out relentless tongues of fire and shouts.

His heart was beating fast, his breathing was also violent, and every step used up all his strength, he didn't have much time, only ten minutes, but he had to cross a distance of three thousand meters, although he was fourteen years old, but the long-term malnutrition made him look like he was no more than seven or eight years old, he was very smart and skilled, otherwise he would not have done so many years and still lived.

But it seemed that his luck had run out today, and a beam of light fell straight on his young body, pulling his short body very long.

Da Da Da –

A string of tongues of fire rose in response, and the young figure kept changing directions, trying in vain to find a gap in the rain of bullets.

A stray bullet slid down his cheek, sending a splash of blood, but it didn't affect his speed until a stray bullet passed through his weak shoulder and lifted him off the ground.

Puff –

He fell heavily on the ground, carefully protecting the orchid with his hands on his chest, his lips were bitten out of blood, his big eyes were filled with tears, and his body even spasmed because of pain, but he was lying there like a dead man.

Finally, the searchlight slipped over his body, and he still didn't move, and sure enough, the beam swept over again, and he was even more nervous, and his whole body was soaked in sweat.

The fiery light of the searchlight finally moved away from him, and without the slightest hesitation, he stood up suddenly, staring at the grid of the barrier with all his strength.

Hunger triumphed over exhaustion and pain, he was a little stunned by his speed, looking at the power grid in front of him, a little dazed but skilful through the narrow gap, not even noticing that the wounds on his shoulder and face were slowly healing before disappearing into the dense tents.

The night soon fell silent again, and even the neat footsteps of the patrol could be heard.

Taking off his blood-stained shirt, he was surprised to find that the wound on his shoulder was almost healed, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in the depths of his big eyes, and he soon became firm, wiped the blood on his body and circled twice in the gaps of the dense tents, and then lifted one of the dilapidated tents and dodged in.

"Brother, you're back—"

The childish voice was a little choked, and the small body even fell to the ground in the process of running, such a night is too normal for the brother and sister.

Hao Jianqiang hurriedly ran over to help his sister up, and carefully patted off the dust on her body with the light transmitted from outside, the tent they lived in was very close to the isolation zone, and it was also the most statusless.

"Yueyue, put this away!"

Hao Jianqiang carefully handed over the orchid that had been protecting his chest to Hao Yue, and the beauty of the orchid captured the little girl's big eyes in an instant, but he quickly came to his senses and quickly put the orchid into the dark compartment in a pile of miscellaneous items.

"Yueyue has grown up!"

Hao Jianqiang couldn't help but show a smile on his face, in the past, the little girl was afraid that she would be arguing to put it on her head, and a feeling of dizziness came, Hao Jianqiang only felt that his whole body was as hot as boiling water, and his black body was soft on the ground in front of him.

In the faint light, a panicked little girl with helpless tears on her face laboriously dragged Hao's strong body to the shabby bed, and the young figure curled up beside her, sobbing in a low voice.

In a long dream, in which Hao Jianqiang looked at the beautiful big house like an outsider, a beautiful figure held the hands of two children, one of whom was him and the other was his sister.

"Don't go out, don't go out—"

Hao Jianqiang saw that the beautiful figure seemed to be about to leave the house, but at this moment he was full of horror and shouted desperately, but unfortunately the beautiful woman just smiled at the two children and opened the door and left.

It was a day he would never forget, and they had endured unimaginable upheaval within the walls of the nobility.

"I'm sorry, two cute little ones, your mother - no, the adoptive mother is a dangerous species, has been killed by the Allies, and you will no longer have the right to live here!"

The face he could never forget, the sentence he would never believe, the boundless resentment sprouted from his heart, and a hunger that he had never felt before surged through his body, and he could no longer bear to pounce on it like a hungry wolf......

The blood-stained dream mirror suddenly woke him up from his sleep, and what terrified him even more was the unbearable feeling of hunger.

"Brother, you're awake—"

Hao Yue's big red eyes kept staring at Hao Jianqiang, and when she saw Hao Jianqiang wake up, the little girl couldn't help but throw herself into his arms anymore, and murmured, "Yueyue is so scared-"

"Meat-meat-meat-"

The devil-like voice continued to eat away at Hao's strong will, and at this moment, it seemed that the sister in his arms had suddenly become delicious.

"I-it's okay-"

Hao Jianqiang clenched his fists tightly, the uneasiness in his eyes gradually turned into intense horror, and he endured that hunger, "Yueyue, my brother is a little hungry—"

"Well, Yueyue will fetch you steamed buns-"

Hao Yue obediently got off Hao Jianqiang's body, carefully took out a yellowed steamed bun in the dark compartment in the clutter pile, swallowed saliva involuntarily, and hurriedly ran to Hao Jianqiang's side and handed it over.

"No, no, no-"

Hao Jianqiang roared in his heart, and even forgot that this was their incomparably precious steamed bun, and took a bite of it.

Like chewing wax, an indescribable nausea instantly spread throughout the body, Hao Jianqiang sat there stunned, letting the half steamed bun fall aside, and two lines of tears couldn't help but slide down his face.

"Brother, the buns are delicious—"

Hao Yue couldn't help but laugh happily when she looked at Hao Jianqiang's appearance, and carefully picked up the half of the steamed bun and handed it to Hao Jianqiang again.

"Hmm-"

The tears in Hao Jianqiang's eyes surged again, Hao Yue's words seemed to give him endless courage to swallow the steamed bun that made him so disgusting that he wanted to vomit in one bite, and his stomach was overturned, Hao Jianqiang put half of the steamed bun in his hand into Hao Yue's hand, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Yueyue is going to eat it all!" ”

After saying that, he couldn't bear the nausea in his stomach anymore, and rolled over and rushed out.
