Beneath the bustling surface of the Shining City, in an inconspicuous alley, a pair of extremely cold eyes stared at the street.

From that day on, the day when darkness covered the world, it snowed so hard that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead, and it had been falling for three full days.

The entire city of Radiance was buried by heavy snow, and in the same way, the cold that pierced the soul permeated the world.

Going to die......

The dark figure huddled in the alley hugged his ragged clothes, his only solace in the snow.

His cold eyes flickered as he stared at the people lining up to buy food in the distance.

In the past, he might have survived in this bustling city by stealing and a few small means, but not today.

At least, there was no way he could afford a meal worth more than gold.

Now a steamed bun can be exchanged for a gold coin, and if it was in the past, it would not be a problem to buy thousands of dry steamed buns for one gold coin.

But among the rumors in the streets, from the moment the demons invaded this world, humans were imprisoned in this glorious city, and stepping into the wild was no different from death.

But isn't there a lot of danger in the city?

He stared coldly at a young man his age in the crowd, probably the child of some wealthy merchant, who had exchanged a bag of gold coins for some food to fill his stomach...

As a wealthy person, I am completely unaware of the dangerous situation I am in.

There are no adults around... Sure enough, it was a corpse in the gutter again.

Huddled in the shadow of the alley, he made up his mind, clutching the rusty dagger in his hand, unable to resist the temptation of food. Just as I was about to stand up.

"What are you going to do?" The teenager who seemed to be showing off how rich he was to the civilians was suddenly surrounded by a group of ragged but terrifying men.

Seeing this situation, the people around him chose to ignore it, and no one wanted to be a bird......

Prey... Targeted by others. He looked at the boy who was dragged into the alley by the big men unwillingly.

The strength that was ready to be launched fell to the ground at the last moment.

Hunger, cold, made him nearly collapse...

It was more uncomfortable than ever, the feeling of the soul being frozen was not at all uncomfortable, and the consciousness gradually began to blur.

Until. The smell of food invaded his sense of smell.

Food? His already confused eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up to find a white steamed bun in front of him, wantonly emitting its tempting fragrance.

But as a rat in the sewer, he was vigilant and did not pounce on it immediately, but raised his head to look at the person holding the steamed bun......

It's beautiful... He opened his mouth and stayed there.

For him, who hadn't even read a book for a day, he described people in a few words.

But the man in front of him didn't seem abrupt at all when he used this word.

"Hungry?" With an indescribable feeling, the tone that made people want to sink into it made his brain crash for a while.

He swallowed. nodded, and then stared straight at the steamed bun without shying away, expressing what he wanted without any disguise.

"Give you ......"

The steamed bun was pushed in front of him.

Almsgiving? He has been on the dark side of the world for many years, and he can understand the behavior of the rich, and what is insignificant in their eyes is equivalent to his life for him.

And this steamed bun can be exchanged for one of his lives!

He didn't hesitate, almost snatched. snatched what would keep him alive, and then looked at the man with some timidity.

"Don't worry, let's say it first, I'm not giving alms, I'm not giving anything to anyone." The smile on the corner of the mouth is the only thing that makes people feel warm in this cold winter.

"You... What do you want me to do? Kill whom? He clutched the food in his hand, his cold eyes staring at the scarlet.

It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, for him at a young age, ordinary people don't care about this little beggar at all, and this is the most suitable identity as a killer! I am hired for a very small price. Kill, run...... That's the value of use.

"No, I'm not asking you to kill anyone, but." A white finger stood up and pointed to his forehead: "I want your life!" ”

He almost subconsciously pulled out his dagger and stabbed the man in the heart. Can......

Can't move! He shuddered all over, and found himself unable to move at all under that scarlet gaze.

Who? Could it be a professional? Great fear enveloped him.

But this fear disappeared in a moment, he calmed down, and the steamed bun in his hand was still hot.

"You're hungry, aren't you? Would love to eat, right? ”

He nodded.

"Then give me your life, and I will let you eat as much as you want, never go hungry, and provide you with inexhaustible food."

Temptation, almost a temptation that goes deep into the marrow of the marrow...

Deed of Sale? Want to treat me as a slave... That's all he wants, but so what, freedom? It's better than dead.

He nodded again, in exchange for a pleasant smile from a man.

"Eat, give me your life, and then you will never feel hungry."

As he nibbled on the mouth-watering food, he asked.

"Your name?"

Whether it's a well-wisher or a host, you always have to know each other's names, right?

The smile was still there, and his bloodless lips were slightly hooked in reply.

"You can call me Lu Qiu."

Lu Qiu? After reciting the name in his heart, he ate the steamed bun in his hand without any hesitation.

………………

Lu Qiu looked at the little beggar who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, almost nibbling off a steamed bun in one bite.

It's safe to say that he was definitely hungry for a long time.

The supplies in the Shining City are limited, and the temperature throughout the world has dropped since the arrival of the demons, and in some places it has dropped below freezing, and heavy snow is almost the same as everyday.

So in this case, food is particularly important.

And human life.

It doesn't seem to be worth even a single gold coin.

"Have you eaten enough?" Lu Qiu looked at the little beggar, and he shook his head with bulging cheeks.

Man is never satisfied.

It's just that just as he was excitedly chewing these foods that could sustain his life, a force that did not belong to him suddenly raged wildly from his body and spread all over his body!

The little beggar fell to the ground, his forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched, and he vomited out the contents of his mouth in disgust, at this time his teeth could no longer be called human teeth, the sharp fangs were terrifying, and the thin body became tall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Scarlet musculature spread over his body, and sharp barbs kept growing out of his, nay, or rather, his body in a piercing manner.

"Uhh

With a furious roar, another human being who was attached to the black light virus, the so-called infected body, appeared in front of Lu Qiu.

It didn't attack Lu Qiu, because the mother of the virus, Yuli, was in this world, and Lu Qiu could even feel the emotions transmitted from it.

Hunger......

"Belly... Still hungry, right? Lu Qiu turned to the side slightly, glanced at the people on the street who had become panicked because of the appearance of this monster, Lu Qiu pointed to the fleeing humans: "I promised you to provide you with inexhaustible food, if you are hungry, just eat until you are full!" ”

The infected body seemed to understand Lu Qiu's words, and with another roar, it smashed the ground with its feet like an ancient dragon, and waved its claws at the group of fleeing humans, and then crushed the captured humans one by one and turned them into their own food.

"A gold coin for a steamed bun." Lu Qiu played with the gold coin in his hand: "Human life is the same, in this world." ”

Lu Qiu looked up at the foggy sky, and he could hear the roars of monsters and the panicked sounds of humans all over the city.

"No place in this world is absolutely safe."

Lu Qiu's figure disappeared into the darkness, and the blizzard in the city blew even harder, and the scarlet snow fell in sprinkling......
