Chapter 1: After the Disaster
The epoch represents memory, history, glory, glory, and dignity.......
The beginning of each epoch represents the end of another, from prosperity to destruction, and rebirth in the ruins.
"May the light of the Holy Palace shine on every corner of the Starmark Continent, may Allah have mercy on every mortal with good thoughts, may the light of hope not be swallowed up by hunger and calamity, and may every child be able to eat wheat-scented bread and hot soup after dawn." ”
Pastor Armani's prayers kept echoing in my head.
Struggling to open his eyes, he dragged his tired body to lean against the chaotic ruins, the heavy wheezing sound was like a bellows, and the death that passed by seemed to be still in front of him.
When I came to this cruel world, I have long forgotten how long it has been, and I just want to be able to live strong.
A pair of dirty little hands, carefully holding the water source in dark green broad leaves, handed it to my lips with a look of hope.
"Arya, drink some water! Don't be afraid, it's safe now. ”
The little boy resisted his fear and said to me with a pretense of composure.
Hehe, it's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous that I need children to comfort me, and I'm really a failure as a traverser.
I remember when I first came to this world, I thought that I would be like in the novel, born in a rich family of bureaucrats, with a prominent family background and power.
and then with the golden finger against the sky, with brilliant wisdom and a superb face, he is mixed in another world.
But the reality gave me a resounding slap in the face, and now I am not only a poor household in a small town, but also an orphan and a little beggar. Begging with Alan and them every day, from time to time doing some stealing that he despised in his previous life, and now he almost lost his life.
Three days ago, on that nightmare afternoon, the sunset was bloody, and I swear it was the most devastating scene I've ever seen in my life.
The space shattered like glass, forming a black hole like an abyss, and out of the black hole leaped out of it was a monstrous beast with a height of ten floors. The pitch-black mottled fur, some striking white bony horns, and the thorns clinging to the key parts like ferocious armor, the white and striking fangs shimmering with a cold luster.
In just moments, the beast destroyed a corner of the town.
The streets are carved with ravines formed by the ravages of the beasts, and the once neat houses are now scattered like dead grass in a storm, and the wails, cries, and prayers are united among the ruins.
There has never been a moment when I would have been so desperate to hope that the sleek salted egg Superman would arrive in time before the catastrophe strikes and drive away this monstrous beast.
When the beast of destruction shuttled through the ruins with unruly steps, I, who was too stunned and in a state of stupefaction, swaggered in the middle of the street, trying to escape from the scene but unable to move my legs in fear, so I could only stand in place and shiver.
The beast got closer and closer, its hideous, ugly mouth blurring in its pupils, and heavy wheezing mixed with foul-smelling saliva drenched my whole body.
At this moment, Alan, a young man with red spots in the corners of his eyes, rushed towards me from behind the street corner with the wooden stick in his hand, stopped me with a loud scream, and let out several childish roars at the beast in succession.
Just when I thought I was about to die in the mouth of the beast, directly in front of the beast, a humanoid object with a golden glow appeared out of thin air, the legendary salted egg Superman. Oh no, well, it's an uncle with an explosive head and a cape.
Uncle Explosive Head held a ridiculously large mace, and with a hammer, he knocked the huge beast back dozens of meters and fell to the ground, which completely unreasonable attack power once again refreshed my three views.
While Uncle was fighting with the monster, Alan and I found the opportunity to quietly flee the scene.
The town was torn apart in a battle between Uncle Exploding and the Beast, and the Beast, apparently fearful of Uncle, turned and fled, while Uncle Explosivehead chased after him and shouted loudly.
"Evil beast, dare to cross the line while I am dozing, and see that I do not pick your skin. Don't be afraid, this is an accident, I will protect everyone!"
Maybe it was a delusion, but I was dazzled by the sight of Uncle Explosivehead, who was a little angry when he saw the beast fleeing. When he ran away, he patted his chest in fear, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
I took a shallow sip of water, soothing some irritability.
Looking at the dirty little boy in front of him, maybe he was embarrassed to be a little embarrassed by my staring, but his eyes were still staring at me sincerely and drinking water.
This made me want to play tricks on this little boy who had been with me all along.
"I said Alan, why did you stand in front of me the day before yesterday, aren't you afraid? Or are you already learning that people are secretly crushing on me at a young age, and you like me so much?"
Hearing my question, Alan, the little playmate I have been playing with since the crossing, lowered his head and twisted without speaking, and two red clouds quietly appeared on his ignorant little face.
"No, Arya, I just want to protect you, I don't want to lose you again. You are my most important friend, and since I was a child, you are the only one who does not dislike me and will be friends with me. Don't worry, I'll protect you in the future, no matter what happens. ”
I listened quietly to Alan, admiring his upright, brave and somewhat shy expression.
Maybe children in other worlds are too precocious, but they are also simple and sincere. Children's words can always inadvertently touch the depths of people's hearts, so I can't help but speak.
"You were scared to pee, weren't you? Your pants were wet, you must have been scared to pee. You said it was raining, but it wasn't actually wet before it rained, and I saw it. ”
"......! Arya, I'm ignoring you!
Looking at the little cutie whose cheeks suddenly turned red and hot, the change of expression from shock to embarrassment to pale, to shame, and the sudden movement of turning her eyes red like an angry bird, this series of cute expressions amused my heart.
After Allen's shy departure, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smile of relief.
"Sure enough, it's a little kid, not funny at all. ”
After the farce, seeing the town in ruins, I couldn't help but smile wryly.
How will we survive in the future?
Perhaps after the disaster, it should be normal to lose some free-range livestock and bury some lost fruits and vegetables.
As the saying goes, after a catastrophe, there must be a pandemic, and only those who can help reduce the burden on society are good socialist youths. Well, maybe a teenager can only be considered a good child.
I turned around and just wanted to greet Allen, and go to pick up some chickens and geese that no one wants, or cows and sheep that fell to death for no reason, and stock up on supplies to fill my stomach by the way.
Only then did I remember that a certain tsundere boy with great self-esteem is now afraid that he has been angry with himself and has run away.
Shaking his head, while complaining that the tsundere little boy was unreliable, he searched around for supplies and asked Alan to come back to resist supplies by the way.
Why not do it yourself?
No kidding, we're ladies, have you ever seen a lady who has free labor and doesn't have to do it by herself.
Dirty work should be done by boys, it's not that I'm black, I'm here for energetic male classmates, to find a way to vent useless physical strength. It's a way to exercise and fill your stomach, so why not?
"Alan, Alan, come out, I've picked up a lot of goodies, including chicken thighs and pork knuckles that you like to eat." ”
"And the sweet yellow fruit that you couldn't eat before! Come out quickly, if the boy is careful, be careful that you can't find a wife in the future!
