"Zheng'er..." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Who?" the boy looked around, and in the dark space, two figures stood not far away and beckoned to him.

Obviously he couldn't see the appearance of the two people opposite, but there seemed to be an inexplicable throbbing in the young man's heart, which made him instinctively want to get closer to the figure.

Without warning, the hazy sky was filled with black feathers.

The feather slowly fell, touching the boy's body, and a chill that was better than the ice and snow spread from the place where the feather touched.

The boy was still amazed by the sudden change, and a pair of strange bird and beast eyes suddenly appeared above the two figures.

A chilling shrill laugh sounded from the bottom of the boy's heart at the same time.

Hair stands on end!

The sudden change made the young man's heart tremble.

In the moment when the boy hesitated.

Everything seemed to be swallowed up by darkness in an instant, and disappeared from his sight.

"Don't go. The boy couldn't help but shout.

・・・・・・

"Whew. A boy of twelve or thirteen suddenly sat up from his bed.

The cold sweat on his head made the young man's sallow face even paler.

"That strange dream again. The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, but the inexplicable emotion lingered in his heart for a long time.

The boy shook his head, sobering himself up a bit, and then habitually looked at the position not far away.

The room was small, a few paces away, and on an equally rudimentary wooden bed lay an old man with a full head of white hair.

In his sleep, the old man coughed violently from time to time, and the loose muscles on his face showed a bit of hideous pain.

In the hut, the summer heat had not yet dissipated, but the old man was still shivering with cold.

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up the quilt on the old man's body, and then used a wooden stick to stir it in the carbon basin on the ground a few times. Looking at the fire that was lit again, he gritted his teeth and took out two more pieces of charcoal from the corner and put them in.

As the temperature in the room gradually rose, the painful expression on the old man's face was slightly soothed.

Looking at the expression on the old man's face, the young man sighed silently.

The boy's name is Lin Zheng, and he is an orphan. The 'old man' lying on the bed, he called Uncle Hong. For as long as they can remember, the two have lived together for their lives. In his memory, Uncle Hong was not what he is now, when Lin Zheng was young, he often swung on Uncle Hong's arm. That sturdy body used to be the only reliance of the young man. But for some reason, Uncle Hong suddenly aged rapidly. After just a few years of hard work, the originally strong middle-aged man seems to have become an old man who is about to die like he is now.

Lin Zheng walked to the corner and prepared to cook. If you don't cook, you won't be able to catch up with work for a while. Without a job, I am afraid that in a place like Thunder Prison City, I will not be able to survive even a day.

Open the clay jar used to hold grain on weekdays and look at the wall of the jar. Even if the young man is cheerful, his face still shows a little helpless self-deprecation.

Yes, the last bit of food in the family was exchanged for charcoal for Uncle Hong's heating, where is there anything to eat.

At this time, the sound of passers-by talking outside the house was heard.

"Hurry up, it's too late, the food is all robbed. Do you want to eat rat meat next month? ”

"Hmph, you think it's beautiful, something like rat meat can still be eaten by you. ”

"I don't know it's time to hurry. ”

"What is urging, rushing to reincarnate, it is not bad for a while. ”

In the hurried footsteps, the voices of the two people talking gradually faded away. Standing in the middle of the room, the young man who was worried about the next meal had a light in his eyes.

By the way, today is the monthly 'Puji Day', so try your luck and maybe next month's rations will come out." If you're lucky, even Uncle Hong's medicine money has been settled.

With a decision in his heart, Lin Zheng picked up a pocket sewn with rags from the side of the rice jar.

"Uncle Hong, I'll go out for a while, and we'll have dinner when we come back in a while. The young man said in a loud voice, showing a face full of joy. It seems that his pocket is full of food that he can't eat.

Out of the door, Lin Zheng carefully closed the two dilapidated door panels. He didn't see that the old man lying on the bed was struggling to get up.

The moment the door panel closed, the ease on the young man's face was no longer there, but a little more indescribable solemnity.

If they could, no one would want to go to Puji Day. But the boy knew what was going on at home. As Uncle Hong's condition worsened, the family's original savings had been exhausted. If it weren't for the only place to live, I'm afraid the two would have become two decomposing corpses in the gutter.

The boy can only gamble with his life.

'Lin Zheng, you have to live. The boy said in his heart.

Looking at the increasing number of pedestrians on the road, Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and blended into the flow of people.

This is a slum area in the outer city of Thunder Prison, and the houses are piled up with mud and dried. The air was filled with the smell of open defecation, and the cramped roads were filled with the occasional animal bones that had been eaten. The clear tooth marks on the bones are still vivid, and you can see the eagerness of the 'diners' when eating.

It is unimaginable that tens of thousands of human beings live in such an environment.

Most of the people in the slums can only sell their physical strength to mine in the mines on the edge of the city to make a living. But with a meager income, it is difficult to support even one person.

'Puji Day' came into being, but if you want to gain something in 'Puji Day', it is not as simple as you imagined. In order to get this only chance of survival, fighting and even killing are inevitable.

The survival of the fittest has been integrated into the blood of everyone in Thunder Prison City. Here, only the strongest have the capital to live.

I'm afraid that killing those old and weak is also one of the purposes of the existence of 'Puji Day'. Anyway, 'pariahs' like them, there will never be a shortage of them in Thunder Prison City.

The boy couldn't help but think.

I don't know if it's because the Thunder Prison City is built on a lonely cliff, and the sun is rarely seen in the sky of the city. The gray weather made everyone on the road look extremely gloomy.

"Hurry up, you don't want food, I still want it. Walking on the road, Lin Zheng was pushed from behind.

The young man's body couldn't help but stagger, and although he was angry in his heart, he didn't show the slightest angry expression.

Here, if you want to live, you don't have nothing to do. Besides, he didn't have the strength to make any more moves.

"Click, click..." In a faint sound of teeth chewing, a heavy smell of blood came, and the boy subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

Cold sweat suddenly ran down the top of Lin Zheng's head.

"Eat, eat, eat", terrible thoughts crossed Lin Zheng's mind, and the young man's actions froze.

In the dark alley, two thin figures are lying on a five or six-year-old child's 'feast'. The child has no life, only instinctive convulsions. The blood gushing out from the bite smeared the bodies of the two 'diners', making them look like hungry ghosts crawling out of the Nine Shadows.

One of the 'diners' who was facing the boy suddenly raised his head, and his bloodshot eyes reflected Lin Zheng's pale and frightened face.

Just a glance, Lin Zheng knew that something was wrong. He clearly saw **** and naked desire in the eyes of the other party.

It was as if the boy had become the next meal for the other party.

Lin Zheng didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he turned around and ran. Along the way, he didn't know how many people he bumped into, but even if he attracted countless abuse, he didn't dare to stop for a while.

Along the way, the feeling of being targeted by the beast in my heart never retreated.

Suddenly, the boy's eyes lit up.

In just a moment, two thin figures appeared where Lin Zheng had just footed.

The noses of the two of them twitched, and the always sensitive sense of smell seemed to have lost its original effect at this moment, and the young man's smell suddenly disappeared here.

The two of them had puzzled expressions on their faces, hesitated in place for a moment, and finally let out an unwilling slight roar in their throats, and turned around to leave.

"Poof!poof!"

"Oh yes, bad luck, I met a 'wood ghost' when I went out. Could it be that the year is not good today?" a strong man cursed as he stood beside the corpse.

The strong man shook off the blood from the sharpened wooden stick in his hand, seemed to be still angry, spat at the corpse again, and then walked away.

For the fact that he had just killed two 'people', the strong man didn't care.

As soon as the strong man left, a head suddenly rose in the ditch on the side of the road.

"Whew, whew. Lin Zheng hurriedly took two more breaths, which eased the suffocation in his chest a little.

"If you want to eat master, it's not an easy task. Standing in the ditch, Lin Zheng showed a sly smile unique to a teenager.

Climbing onto the ground, Lin Zheng looked at the two people who fell in a pool of blood, and the palpitations in his heart did not disappear.

To say that you are not afraid is. Just now, if it weren't for his flash of inspiration and the method of holding his breath that he learned from Uncle Hong when he was a child, it is estimated that he would have been caught up by the two 'Chai Ghosts' a long time ago. Of course, this is also thanks to the 'hero' who suddenly appeared just now.

The 'Chai Ghost' was originally a human in Thunder Hell City, but because he couldn't endure the torture of hunger, he was left with the survival instinct of a beast.

Whatever it is, as long as they can eat it, they won't care. Of course, this also includes human beings, and their favorite is still children with fine skin and tender meat.

Although the behavior of the 'wood ghost' is brutal, it is only an ordinary person struggling on the verge of life and death. An adult can easily kill it. It's just that in Thunder Prison City, no one will be idle and bored to hunt them specifically. However, as long as you are human, you don't want to one day become a ration in the eyes of your kind. So as long as the 'Chai Ghost' shows up, he can't escape the fate of being killed.

It's not that Lin Zheng hasn't heard of 'Chai Ghost', it's just that he has always been careful on weekdays. Unexpectedly, today I just wanted to get to the square quickly, and I took a shortcut, and I encountered this kind of existence that everyone hated.

Hope all the best today.

Lin Zheng prayed silently in his heart.
