On the outskirts of Zhongzhou City, Huaxia, noon.

It's an ordinary street in a civilian neighborhood that scorches the earth and the few pedestrians on a hot summer day, making passers-by occasionally complain or curse a few words about the weather that makes them uncomfortable. It's not calm, but it's not as lively and bustling as the city center.

At the edge of the street, a motionless figure lay there. The sun is like fire, but he is wrapped in black, the pitch-black fabric under the scorching sun is already extremely hot without thinking, and the ground has already been baked to the extent that people don't even dare to touch it. And this man has been lying here for a whole day and a night.

"Why is this guy still here?"

"Probably dead."

Passers-by's gaze lingers on him for a short time, and then they leave in a hurry. Most of the people who live here live at the bottom of society, rushing around every day to make a living, and in this indifferent society, kindness is the cheapest thing for them. At the same time, in this era, the people who fall on the side of the road must not be saved, which has unconsciously become a cold consensus.

"Mom, look, there's a guy over there? Is he sick? A little boy who was being held by his mother pointed to the man on the ground.

"Don't go near him, don't forget what my mother said, many of the people who fell on the side of the road were discarded because they had 'Isloka', you must not come close, otherwise you will be infected, come, let's go farther."

"Ahh The little boy exclaimed, with a frightened look on his face, and took the initiative to take his mother's hand and ran away, not even daring to look at him again.

Even a young man who is only six or seven years old knows the horror of "Isloka".

Islorka is a terrible disease that can cause the body's immunity and vitality to gradually disappear until it is exhausted. The only source of the disease is infection with the "Islora virus". Its nature is similar to the "AIDS" epidemic in the 20th century and the 21st century, but it is much more terrible than "AIDS". After suffering from Isloca, the longest in the world has only lived five years.

In the thirtieth century, humanity suffered from nature's retribution. In order to compete for more and more limited resources, terrible wars have occurred frequently, and the smoke of gunpowder has broken out all over the world, and under the nuclear and magnetic contamination left behind by the war, the "Isloca" virus has been produced. People with weak natural immunity will be prone to the "Isloka" virus in their bodies if they are exposed to heavy nuclear and magnetic pollution for a long time, and the appearance of the "Isloca" virus also means that this life is nearing the end.

What is even more terrifying is the contagiousness of the "Isloca" virus. It can be transmitted through any form of bodily fluids...... This includes blood, saliva, and even sweat...... Therefore, when a person is infected with the "Islorka" virus, most of his family members can only choose to abandon him ruthlessly. Because no amount of money or effort can save his life, leaving him alone may infect more people......

"Isloca" is like a terrible devil that people avoid it. And it is also known as God's punishment for the cruel war of mankind. Because without the nuclear and magnetic contamination left by the war, the "Isloca" virus would not have been produced. As a result, under the condemnation and appeal of people all over the world, the "Centennial Armistice Convention", which is known to the world, was signed by various countries. Under the provisions of the Convention, the battlefield for settling international disputes has also shifted to the second world, the virtual game world, on which mankind has long depended.

The method of settling disputes by winning or losing a war in the game world is accepted by the vast majority of humanity around the world. After the signing of the Hundred Years Armistice, the development of the virtual game world has reached an unprecedented peak. Countries will also invest a lot of money and effort in cultivating the world's top gamers.

After the Hundred Years Armistice Pact, with the gradual fading of nuclear and magnetic pollution, fewer and fewer people suffer from "Isloka", but the shadow of fear it leaves on mankind is destined to be impossible to dissipate.

As a result, the man in black who was lying on the side of the road was naturally regarded as a poor man abandoned with the "Isloca" virus, and no one dared to approach him at all.

Until......

"Big brother! Big brother, wake up, you're going to burn if you lie on the ground like this. Big brother ......"

In front of the man, there was a girl in a pale yellow dress, she was only about ten years old, with star-like beautiful eyes and a delicate porcelain doll-like face, anyone who saw her would subconsciously stop, wondering if she had seen an elf who had fallen into the mortal world by mistake.

The girl held a cup of cold drink in one hand and drank a small half, and with the other small hand threw away the parasol, gently shaking the motionless man, her starry eyes full of anxiety and worry, and her mouth let out a tender and tender cry.

Maybe the man was not in a deep coma, or he had never been really unconscious, in the girl's not too loud call, the man's body moved slightly, and then slowly, with great difficulty, raised his head, revealing a pale man's face. It was a young man who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with messy hair, completely chapped lips, and a frighteningly pale face. He opened his eyes slightly, and his cloudy gaze touched a pair of incomparably crystal pure eyes.

What a beautiful ...... Eye......

"Great, great, you're finally awake!" The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed happily. The young man looked at the girl's pure and immaculate smile through his misty gaze, and was stunned for a while. Before today, he had experienced too much coldness and indifference, and he had long been accustomed to it, and he couldn't believe that there were still such a pair of pure and clear eyes in this world.

"Big brother, are you sick? Can you stand up? It's going to be hot when you lie on the ground like this...... Ah, it's okay, my dad and mom will be over right away. They're going to help the big brother, and by the way, my dad is a doctor, so he'll definitely make the big brother better. The girl held up a parasol and covered his upper body, inquiring and comforting him in a pleasant and soft voice.

The man's chapped lips moved, his throat burned like fire, and he tried for a long time, but only one word could be spat out......

“…… Water ......"

"Water ......" the girl fanned her eyes, and then put a small half cup of cold drink to his lips: "I don't have water...... Is this okay? It's cool and sweet. ”

The girl carefully put the straw into his mouth, and the boy took a long sip with all his might, and suddenly, a cold liquid flowed like a clear spring. Full mouthful. Then it flows down the throat and into the body that seems to have died. At that moment, he finally felt the presence of his body, and his vision was much clearer, and he bit the habit of pulling him back from the line of death in his mouth, and his eyes were always staring at the girl who was watching him at the same time, unwilling to leave.

"Is it delicious? If it's delicious, I'll drink it all, and if I still want to drink it, I'll ask my parents to buy it again. Seeing that he was sucking so hard, the girl's eyebrows curved into two crescent moons, revealing a lovely smile. This smile was also deeply imprinted in his heart...... He knew that it would be impossible for him to forget this moment in his life, let alone this girl.

Even footsteps came from behind her, and the girl immediately turned around, and then beckoned and shouted: "Mom and Dad, I'm here, this big brother he fainted." ”

It was a middle-aged couple who came, and their ordinary clothes showed that their family was not wealthy. When they saw the girl and the man next to her who had fallen to the ground, they were shocked at the same time.

"Ruoruo, get out of him quickly!" The girl's mother ran over in a panic, and hurriedly hugged the girl to the side, and with a coquettish cry, the cold drink cup in the girl's hand slipped from her hand, and the cool liquid spilled all over the ground.

"Uh......h Mom, why do you want to hold me away, big brother he is thirsty and wants to drink water...... Mom, Dad, can you save him? Dad, you're a great doctor, you're going to save him, aren't you? The girl struggled slightly in her mother's arms, and the look at the young man still revealed worry.

"Rest assured, he didn't get Isloka."

The girl's father, a doctor who was in contact with many Islorka patients, knew after a few glances at the boy that he did not have Islorka. Hearing his words, the girl's mother was relieved. She squatted down and smiled apologetically at the young man: "Kid, I'm sorry, I was too worried about Ruo Ruo just now...... What is your name? Why is it here? ”

The young man's lips moved, and it took a long time before he made a difficult sound: "I...... Called......"

What's my name now...... I do not know.

Because, I have decided to forget my previous name...... Good hope can be forgotten forever.
