I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 123
"John, are you really not going? Lanceville is safe. Before leaving, the store manager asked him repeatedly.
The store manager Aya also said more, she was pampered and grew up, she didn't have such beautiful rhetoric, she couldn't say how prosperous Lanceville was, but Lanceville was the safest city in this beast tide, there was no doubt about it.
Of course, John wanted to go, but his "business" couldn't be put down, and Lancevelly's high consumption was also an existence that made him very afraid.
John didn't quite know what kind of place Lanceville was, but he did know that it must be a paradise full of transcendents, each with a large amount of gold in his pocket, so beautiful and powerful that he could not depict it with all his imagination.
He didn't really want to, but he didn't want to go.
He didn't dare.
Not only did he not dare, but neither did Bethie, an adult who had been a mother of four, nor did Anne, who knew everything but already knew fear and suffering.
This is the vision of the poor.
This impoverished realm traps them, but it is also a source of security for them.
After experiencing all the hardships imaginable here, it is as if you have "grown up" in this land, and you can endure everything and no longer be afraid.
But if you leave this land, you will go to a new place and suffer new sufferings.
It's almost breathless to think about. It's scary, it's scary, it's scary————
Aya didn't say anything more, just handed him the key.
"There is enough protective magic array in the store, if you really encounter danger, you can come here to hide." After speaking, she added, "You can also bring someone else." ”
John looked at her gratefully, and in the face of the opportunity of life and death, he could not say anything polite and superfluous: "Thank you, Lord Aya! ”
John had made a lot of money during this time, and his mother Bessie generously made wheat paste with vegetables for him and Meimei every day, and John, who had eaten well every day, felt that he had grown taller and stronger.
However, in Aya's eyes, this child is still a skeleton with more skin than a skeleton.
John, who was so thin that he only had only a pair of eyes, was extremely grateful that tears were in his eyes, and he wanted to wipe them, but for some reason, the more he wiped them.
It's good that he doesn't cry, but when he cries, Aya, who thought she was a cold-blooded animal, also had a sour nose, and turned her head and didn't look at him again.
Before leaving, Aya and Cyril made another round, and left Conroro that night in the bone dragon.
The bone dragon flew higher and higher, but John, who watched Aya and Cyril leave below, his heart sank little by little in the direction of the abyss.
Will they ever see each other again?
John didn't know.
But this life-saving talisman left by Aya and Cyril is enough for him to be grateful for a lifetime!
"Is it really possible?!" Bessie felt a little scared just thinking about it.
The store is so clean, the purple two-story cottage looks mysterious and dreamy, and the large transparent crystals can make people see how neat and beautiful the store is from the outside.
Except for two times to receive candy, Bessie usually didn't even dare to get close, and in front of such a clean, mysterious and magnificent place, she only had a deep inferiority complex and timidity.
How could she, who was so lowly and dirty, be qualified to set foot in that place?
John also had low self-esteem, and it was because of his inferiority that he forgot about such an important thing.
No, it can't be said to be forgetting.
He just couldn't believe it.
The beast tide is the greatest threat to human life, John once thought.
But before the beast tide arrived, his home was gone.
The candy and copper coins he had hidden in his house were gone.
A family of neighbors who had only met yesterday had been brutally murdered.
It was dark, and John didn't see which one they had entered at random.
I didn't dare to listen to the screams.
But the place where the sound came from was not far away.
The screams, though slightly altered by pain and despair, were familiar to him.
John was scared.
But he was even more frightened—he was afraid that they would be the ones who would be found in the next second.
It's going to die, it's going to die a terrible death!
Seven waves of gangsters came last night, except for the first wave with the most gains, the next six waves of gangsters didn't gain anything.
Let them look forward to it in vain, let them waste their energy.
John knew very well that once caught, not only would their money be robbed, but they would also be tortured and killed in the most brutal way.
John didn't want to!
He wanted to go to Lanceville, he wanted Anne to go to school, he wanted his mother to be fed every day!
John looked firm: "Mom, let's go hide in the store." ”
"Aya-sama said that there is a magic circle in the store that can block access to demonic beasts."
Bessie was so nervous that she was sweating out, and her inferiority complex and timidity were almost overwhelming, but nothing was more heartwarming than living.
"Let's go, let's go." She said.
John looked around, then said to his mother and sister, "Don't move here, I'll have to go find someone else to go with us." ”
Bessie hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "It's too dangerous!" And how can you call the shots yourself?! When the shopkeeper returns—"
John looked at her with a firm, gentle gaze, "Mom, the three of us can't get there. ”
Cyril had told him before he left that the Conroro Beast Tide would start around eight o'clock tonight.
But it's not just Warcraft that's in danger right now!
Even more terrifying than Warcraft are robbers.
A garbage in human skin, but even more disgusting than Warcraft!
"Mom, we only have enough people to make it to the store alive."
Chapter 66
John first went to the next door neighbor who had the best relationship with him and knocked on the door, because the two families lived close to each other, and he and Tom were about the same age, and the two were best friends.
John was glad that the group had only robbed John's family of all the previous things, and had not "dug them up" and brutally killed them, otherwise he would have collapsed by now.
Not to mention calmly remembering the key, even the strength to walk will disappear.
"Tom, is Tom at home? I'm John, it's not safe anymore, we have to go somewhere safer! ”
Tom's house was quiet, and there was no reaction.
"Aunt Shirley, Uncle Jerry, there's no time, come with me!"
John waited at Tom's house for a minute, but did not receive their response, John was anxious, and looked out of the broken window for a while, perhaps the thugs were tired at night, and went to drink and sleep with the stolen money during the day, and John did not see anyone on the street.
But even so, John didn't dare to stay in one place for long.
He silently counted to two hundred in his mind and turned to the next one.
When Dad and eldest brother just died, many gangsters felt that their family was a good target and took advantage of their family, and the eldest sister was even manipulated by several gangsters, and it was the neighbors who helped drive away those bastards.
It is already difficult for the poor to live, and there are bad people and good people.
John had been taken care of, and they hadn't made a lot of money from him, and he couldn't just leave at that level.
Not only because he might be robbed if he left alone, but he was also afraid that he would never see a familiar face when he returned home after the beast tide had passed.
John couldn't figure it out, why would they hurt each other when they were already doing their best to survive?
How many resources can the poor have? You have the ability to rob those nobles!
They overdraft their health and lives, and they can only earn a few insignificant copper coins, but those nobles don't have to do anything, they have countless gold coins.
John, who has been working in the specialty store for a long time, has heard a lot of "gossip" and complaints.
complained that those slaves were too troublesome to change batch by batch, complained about why those slaves could only work 19 hours, complained that skirts of tens of thousands of gold coins were always tired of buying those styles, complained that the milk production was less, not enough for them to soak in the milk hot springs......
John, who listened to their complaints, even wanted to ask which river the milk would pour into, and he wanted to drink it.
But he didn't dare.
The aristocrats never regarded him as a person or even a life, just a thing, a tool for sweeping the floor and serving tea and delivery.
John was not dissatisfied, and he was even grateful to these bigwigs for coming to the store to spend, because there was enough profit for the store to continue to open and pay him a salary.
But in this one where his life was threatened, John cursed in the most vicious direction - damning them all to death!
The night had taken away his sight, but his hearing was not limited, and John had clearly heard the group say yesterday—
"John's kid can earn three copper coins a day, and he also does things for the transcendental, he will definitely receive a lot of benefits behind him, so he can turn out 1 silver coin!"
They didn't dig out 1 silver coin, only 32 copper coins that John had hidden under the bed, which was their food expenses for the next month.
John put the money in the store early, whether it was Aya, Cyril or the customers who came and went in the store, they didn't care about the money, they didn't go out of their way to rummage it, they didn't take it for themselves, even if they threw it on the ground, no one was willing to bend down to pick it up.
Not to mention the place behind the toilet bowl, there is no customer willing to squat down and poke their head out to take a closer look.
John hid only the 32 copper coins at home, which were hidden in three places, but they were still robbed.
In addition to being distressed, John was still distressed.
Although he had one gold coin, he only had one.
That gold coin didn't even belong to him entirely.
In his opinion, every copper coin is a hard-won treasure.
Losing 32 copper coins at once made him even more uncomfortable than killing him!
That's why he hated the bastards.
Those nobles have so many gold coins, there are more gold coins than his copper coins, why don't they go and rob him, why do they come and rob poor people like them?
"York, York, come with me, I know a safe place, as long as we go to that place, we will be safe......"
