"Speaking of which, why did you save me?"

Chu Mo bit the piece of black bread in his hand and asked casually.

In the past few days alone, he had seen many corpses on Meteor Street, and almost only a few steps away he could see a dying man with a thin body, sunken cheeks, and dull eyes.

Death is a very common phenomenon in Meteor Street, and even the residents who come here are very indifferent to the concept of life and death.

So Chu Mo couldn't figure out why Nifei Pito, who had lived on Meteor Street since he was a child, would want to save himself.

"For no reason." Nephi Peidus flipped through a torn magazine in his hand, paused and said:

"I'm probably going to die, can you see it?"

Chu Mo was silent for a moment and said, "I can see it." ”

He could see the qi, and ordinary people would also faintly exude qi, but Nephi Pito's qi was getting weaker and weaker during this time.

"Even though I have protective gear, my body is too badly corroded by poisonous gas." Nephi Petus said calmly:

"This is Meteor Street, only those who can adapt can live, and I am obviously not in this group."

Her voice was very flat, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her.

"I see."

Chu Mo took a sip of water from the steel kettle, and sighed in his heart: This is the person who grew up in Meteor Street, and even the fact that he is dying can be seen so lightly.

However, it turned out that the predecessor of Catwoman Nifi Petor turned out to be such an ordinary girl.

These days, Nephi Petor often gets tired in the process of collecting waste.

So most of the time, Chu Mo recycled waste products instead of her, in exchange for some food.

For example, the two pieces of black bread they had for breakfast and a pot of clean water were barely exchanged for Chu Mo after tossing around the scrap heap for one night.

Nyphi Petus had been to the doctor on Meteor Street before.

The doctor just lifted his glasses and said flatly: It can't be saved, even if the treatment is just a little more delayed to die, if you really have this money, it is better to give yourself more food.

Even Chu Mo could see that the doctor was still a telepathic person, and even the other party judged that Nephi Pito's physical condition was hopeless.

Now, there is only one way to save Nephi Pito: let Nephi Pido learn to read and master the ability to read.

In the original book, Nephi Pito, who became a chimeric ant, has a total of three telepathic abilities, one of which is called the Toy Repairer.

The Toy Repairer is a giant humanoid doll that can be used to repair damaged tissues and organs, prevent dead bodies from decomposing, and modify organ function and shape.

If Nephi Pido could awaken this telepathic ability to repair her gas-infested organs, then she would have a chance to live.

Just as Chu Mo was thinking, Nephi Pido's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Thank you."

Nephi Petos continued to flip through the magazine.

"What?"

Chu Mo asked puzzled.

He glanced at the magazine that Nephi Peto was flipping through, a magazine about famous tourist attractions, and even the Little World Tree, which only appeared at the end of the Hunter anime.

The magazine was found by Nephi Petos in the garbage heap, and she has been holding on to the book for the past few days, as if she was looking forward to the world outside.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel sympathy for Nephi Pito, and that instinctive disgust and fear gradually faded.

Even Nephi Petor in the Ant-Man chapter is an unforgivable executioner who is very indifferent to life.

But it cannot be denied that the current Nephi Pido is still just an ordinary girl.

If she doesn't turn into a chimeric ant, will she maintain such a personality?

"No, it's boring to die alone." Nephi took a sip of water, flipped the pages of the book, and said, "It's nice to have someone to talk to. ”

Chu Mo was stunned for a while when he heard this, he was silent for a moment, took a bite of the black bread in his hand, and said with emotion:

"Meteor Street, it's really a cruel place."

The world of hunters is not just a shonen manga adventure, there are many cruel things like this, and most of the people who can stand out in such dark corners are out-and-out monsters like the Phantom Brigade.

And ordinary people, let alone just a thin girl.

They were born here, and it seems that they have already been sentenced to death.

Born without a name, dying without a name, not being remembered by anyone, and after death the body is simply dragged into the garbage dump and disposed of together, this is the life of most people on Meteor Street.

In just two weeks, Chu Mo has seen too many similar situations, and all he can do is ignore them, so as not to involve himself.

"I can see that you are different from ordinary people..... "Nephi Petus casually flipped the pages:

"You.... It's possible to get out of Meteor Street alive. ”

Her gaze rested on the page of the magazine, the huge World Tree, at the top of which there was a huge bird's nest, and the clouds were surging in the light of the setting sun.

"Well, I'll live." Chu Mo ate the piece of bread in his hand and said slowly:

"Live at all costs, like everyone here."

"Then when the time comes, go see how the world is going for me." Nephi Petus said calmly:

"Think of it as my reward for saving you."

"Of course I'll take a look."

Chu Mo looked at the girl's thin body, his nose was a little sour, and he said slowly:

"In fact, there are more expansive places in this world, not only those in magazines, but also the Dark Continent, the Island of Greed, and many interesting places."

"You know a lot."

A hint of surprise crossed Nephi's eyes.

"Of course." Chu Mo raised his head slightly, looking at the hazy sky through the breach in the tent:

"I used to yearn for this world more than anyone else, but now I know that there is such a cruel side to this world, everyone on Meteor Street has to do their best just to live, let alone dreams and the like."

The world is alike, and where there is light and there is shadow.

As long as he leaves Meteor Street, maybe he can start a new life in the hunter world.

Nephi Petto closed the magazine and said in a calm voice, "Actually, I want to go out and have a look, but I don't have a chance." ”

"Then let's ......," Chu Mo said suddenly, "let's go together." ”

"As I said, my body is running out."

Chu Mo's eyes were two points firm, and he said slowly: "I have a way for you to live, learn to read with me, if you can't, let me teach you." ”

The reason why Nephi Petto was able to survive until two years later and join the NGL Autonomous Nation was probably because during this time, she learned to read and restore her festering body.

So it's definitely possible for her to learn to read.

"Can I learn?" Nephi Petus asked.

"Of course." Chu Mo confirmed, "You want to live, right? ”

Nephi Petor nodded.

"Then believe in yourself."

Nephi Petor smiled softly, "Thank you." ”

"Before we do that, let's go and recycle the waste and get something to eat." Chu Mo smiled back and stood up.

"Hmm." Nephi Peidor nodded.
