Chapter 35: Rainy Nights and Turnarounds
Far away on the horizon, stand two towering minarets.
It is bounded by an area surrounded by two towers, and to the east of the minaret, the elevation is constantly raised, forming a series of mountains and hills. To the west of the minaret is the vast plain.
It used to be called Meta City because of its abundance of minerals and wheat.
Nowadays, it is divided into two, and the altitude on the mountain side is high, and the city is built on the mountain, so it is called Shangcheng.
The area of the plains, with its low altitude, is called Shimojo.
It rained heavily for the first time in a long time, and the rain poured down with countless dust and impurities.
The air and rain were filled with a strong smell of sulphur or a pungent and sour smell of chemical raw materials.
In a landfill in the lower city.
Two sneaky figures came here in the rain with flashlights.
Strangely, they had neither umbrellas nor raincoats, and the people in front carried two shovels in their hands, and the people in the back carried a sack.
The sack was stained with scarlet blood.
The two of them sneakily looked around, and after making sure that no one had noticed, they found a hidden place and put the sack down.
The rain was noisy, but their rough and hoarse voices were heard very clearly.
"Be quick, bury this guy quickly, dare to go against Master Shangguan, it's like looking for death."
It wasn't hard to guess that the sack contained a corpse.
It looks like it should be the body of the murdered, and the two are destroying evidence.
Soon, the sound of shovels digging into the ground sounded one after another.
The two of them worked hard for a while before burying the sack.
"Now that the matter is done, let's go quickly."
"We're not going to be discovered, I'm afraid."
"It's raining so hard, no one should find out."
The man said and swept the landfill with a flashlight.
Suddenly, the light of his flashlight stopped on a corpse lying on the ground in the distance, the surface of which was already somewhat white.
"Damn, there's a corpse there, it's a woman."
"What's the panic, here is so close to the mining area and workshop in the lower city, there will always be a few who die of exhaustion and will be thrown out."
The man said and swept the landfill with a flashlight.
The light of the flashlight swept over the bloody clothes covering Gu Shun's body, and as long as the light of the flashlight went up a little further, Gu Shun's face would be found.
Fortunately, because of the heavy rain, they didn't take a closer look, and the dark night and rain curtain gave Gu Shun the best disguise.
The bloodstains beside Gu Shun when he was born had already been washed away by the rain.
The two of them briefly confirmed that there was no one around, and then left in a hurry.
The light of the flashlight gradually faded away, and it was not until he could no longer hear the slightest sound of footsteps that Gu Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so dangerous, I almost got discovered.
Fortunately, there is a talent for exploration, otherwise Gu Shun would have used his crying to call for help when he found the flashlight shining.
When the time comes, they will definitely kill people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened my eyes in this life, I first witnessed my mother, who originally wanted to abandon her, turned around and staggered a few steps before falling to the ground, unconscious.
Finally, I waited for two people, but my talent for exploration has been warning that these two people are extremely dangerous.
It is worthy of a high-level world, and it is a dangerous start to the collapse of the sky.
[Family Background -1, Current Family Background 0, Congratulations on Having Nothing Now]
Less than an hour after he was born, his family fortune had already been cleared.
"Ah this, the orphan starts, although it is the starting point of the protagonist's standard, but this is a bit too miserable."
It's too late to sigh, Gu Shun's current danger has not been lifted.
Another thunderclap from the sky swept across the night sky, and the torrential rain fell even harder.
Gu Shun knew that now he could only rely on himself.
As a newborn baby, he was extremely fragile and could do nothing but think.
He was now very weak, cold and hungry, lying in a mud mixed with the icy rain and the filthy mud.
If your umbilical cord is not treated in time, it will become inflamed and ulcerate, and you can only end the simulation early and announce GG.
Of course, Gu Shun couldn't let such a thing happen.
He wants to save himself.
In order to quench his hunger and thirst, Gu Shun tried to suck a few mouthfuls of rainwater.
But soon he choked on the sour and astringent water, and almost lost his breath.
This water is like the chicken soup of pangolins, and if you drink it, you will not be far from ascending to heaven.
Originally, he wanted to kick off the clothes covering his body and let the rain wash his body, but after such a toss, Gu Shun dispelled this idea.
The rain was so polluted that if it were to be poured on his wounds, he would definitely die a terrible death.
Seeing that there was no result in saving himself, he could only ask for help from the outside world now and find someone to save him.
But if the location is consistent with the simulated situation, it should be in a landfill.
In the middle of the night, no one except the person just now would come to the landfill plant.
If you bring them in again, you will not kill yourself.
So Gu Shun rejected the idea of using crying to attract attention, which would only consume the few calories and physical strength he had left.
Gu Shun began to minimize his breathing rate to reduce the loss of heat.
But whether it is the bleak wind and cold rain or the land that can't store heat, it is constantly reducing his few calories.
The body was getting colder and colder, and the last bit of heat was also passing away in Gu Shun's uncontrollable trembling.
There was another thunderclap in the sky, and the rain seemed to be falling heavier.
Gu Shun knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
There are not many places where you can find heat at the moment, and my mother in this life, who lies not far from me, is a good haven.
So Gu Shun puffed up, used all his strength, and moved to his mother's side with a pedal.
Although it was only less than two meters away, it took Gu Shun more than ten minutes to move there.
There is no other reason, he has just been born, and his hands and feet are unable to use his strength to obey the call, coupled with his weakness, when he arrived at his mother's side, Gu Shun was exhausted.
My mother's body had begun to chill, but the residual temperature was much better than lying alone on the open ground on all sides, receiving the wind and rain.
Under his mother, there happened to be a small dirt pit with some stagnant water, Gu Shun drilled into it with both hands and feet, and at this moment his body was completely covered with mud.
It's a blessing in disguise, reducing some of the calorie loss.
Gu Shun snuggled up in the dirt pit like this, and spent his first night in this world with a strong spirit.
The next day, when the rain was dark and the fog was dripping, a large garbage truck drove into the landfill plant.
Just as the dump bucket of the garbage truck was slowly rising, ready to dump all the garbage, the garbage landfiller who was in charge of dispatching next to the garbage truck suddenly found a female corpse lying on the ground.
He hurriedly stopped the garbage truck and walked up.
The driver of the garbage truck also hurriedly got out of the cab, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a corpse here, and it looks like it's supposed to be a pregnant woman."
"Could it be that someone left it here, it's pitiful."
As the two were carrying the body, they found a baby in a sunken pit underneath the body.
"There's a kid down there." There are often some dead babies who die here, and he is ready to dispose of them together.
But when he got closer and found that Gu Shun was still breathing, he suddenly exclaimed incredibly: "This child is still alive, his vitality is so tenacious, it rained so hard last night, and he didn't freeze to death." ”
Gu Shun's vision was blurred at this time, and he had a low-grade fever all over his body, and he vaguely realized that he was being picked up.
He opened his eyes to find a man in a garbage factory work uniform holding him.
Gu Shun immediately opened his throat and cried.
The more this man looked at Gu Shun, the more he liked it, "I became an orphan at such a young age, alas, it's a pity that if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people eating at my house, I would have wanted to raise you myself." ”
"I'll send you to the orphanage, where you'll have something to eat."
