Chapter 3: Big Sister

"Your name is star fruit, human. ”

"Born in 2001, his birthplace is Wusi Farm on the outskirts of Beishan City. Your parents are not regular workers on the farm, they are hired laborers. When you were five years old, your parents were gone, so you studied for six years at the farm elementary school and six years at the high school. After graduating from high school this year, I don't plan to go to university. ”

"But you want to take the ashram. However, the unified enrollment of the training class on the wasteland is once every four years, and it just ended last year. You'll have to wait four years. ”

Li Qingyan shook his head: "I didn't find anything unusual in your information. You look like just a normal girl. ”

"Then I'll find you and get you in the car. Then the demon ran out and started chasing us—his target was you, obviously. That should mean I saved the right person. So...... Star fruit, think about it. Have you ever done anything out of the ordinary, or your parents have done anything out of the ordinary—I don't know?"

The girl blinked, looking surprised and confused. Her gaze lingered on the bracelet on Li Qingyan's right wrist for a long time, and it took a long time before she whispered, "But...... Who are you? Are you a demon in the wasteland?"

Li Qingyan knew what she was worried about.

Moor. The wasteland, which occupies nearly half of the Republic's land area, was once a rich and prosperous land. Before World War II, the land was dotted with thriving cities, fertile farmland. However, in the latter stages of the war, both the Republic of Asia and the United States of America began to frantically drop atomic bombs on each other's soil.

This temporarily turns large swathes of land within the borders of both countries into wastelands filled with deadly radiation. Forty years after that mad war, the scars of the earth have not healed.

Most of the humans and demons gathered in the unpolluted area to start production and construction again. Some criminals and vagrants go to the wilderness to escape the law and pursue so-called "freedom".

In between, there are thousands, tens of thousands, of farms. The people of the farm transform the wasteland, give it life again, and mend the scars of the earth little by little.

These people are engaged in what the government of the Republic calls "noble and glorious" tasks, but their origins have nothing to do with those four words. Most of the earliest settlers were human criminals, and there were also a considerable number of war criminals.

At the end of World War II, before the contradictions between the Republic of Asia and the United States of America became the main contradictions, what was going on in the Eastern theater was in fact a war of aggression and counter-aggression. The former invaders were defeated, and the country became part of the Republic. The war criminals were transported to the mainland to atone for their sins through a lifetime of labor.

These people bear offspring, which last for two or three generations over a period of forty years. Star fruit should be the second generation born in the wasteland.

But there are more terrible beings than criminals and war criminals - demons who have fled from society. They refused to be bound by the bracelet and retreated into the wilderness, posing a great threat to the new social order. The criminal gang that carambola said had plundered the farm convoy three years ago was one of those categories.

Even some of the Wasteland Demon Clans who wear bracelets are mostly rebellious existences, and almost all of them have the potential to abuse their power and become potential criminals.

Li Qingyan smiled and showed her his bracelet: "Because I am a demon clan, you are afraid of me?"

He reached out and swiped lightly on the ring, revealing a string of fluorescent numbers: 2018.9.15.

"Look. I just took medication last month. I'm safe. ”

The girl blinked in surprise: "But you just ...... Kill the wolf—just with my button!"

Li Qingyan smiled gently: "The speed is big enough, and a bird can destroy a plane." My strength is already relatively strong, and the same is true when I take medicine. I'm gifted - if only you kept it a secret between us. ”

The girl's expression slowly softened. In fact, she hadn't seen many demons - there were almost no demons on the farm, and the unrestrained demons on the wasteland didn't show up often. Therefore, in addition to the images on TV, it is the first time that Li Qingyan, who is almost indistinguishable from human beings.

What's more, his appearance is difficult to make people feel disgust and fear in their hearts.

So she thought about it seriously: "I...... Nothing has been done. Neither did my mom and dad. But my grandfather ......."

Her face darkened, as if she was ashamed to speak: "...... It's Russian. Dad said he was a former war criminal. ”

Only then did Li Qingyan realize that in the dim light, the outline of star fruit's facial features seemed to be slightly deeper. This also seems to explain her taller figure than the girls of the same age on the farm. She is undoubtedly a pretty girl, and now she may have some half-breed reasons.

It's just that the blood of the white descent has faded to her, and she is still more like a native of the Republic.

Information about war criminals is hard to come by. Therefore, Li Qingyan was a little surprised: "What is your grandfather's name?"

"I don't know. Star fruit's gaze drooped, "Dad said his name was Roman." Two years after my father was born, my grandfather died, saying it was because of radiation. We have the same surname as grandma...... Is it because of my grandfather?"

Li Qingyan pondered solemnly for a while: "It's hard to say. It needs to be checked again. ”

"That'...... Can I go back after checking? I have more hours this month than last month, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it...... If you're a good guy, can't we go to the vigilantes?"

Li Qingyan smiled.

This girl who was born and raised on a farm probably doesn't know what a strange thing she is involved in. I don't know who he really is.

Not to mention that right now, in the dense forest outside this four-story building, there have been seven uninvited guests.

He also recognized the green wolf he had killed earlier. The demon clan is a member of the "Red Gang" criminal gang that roams the wasteland. His death will not be the end of the matter, but the beginning - right now, the Avengers have appeared.

He stood up and walked to the window, picked up a few pieces from the broken windowsill and piled them there, and began to undo the cufflinks in his right hand.

"It's tomorrow to find the vigilantes, but we have to solve tonight's problems first. He turned his face to look at the girl behind him, "Do you usually like to watch horror movies? ”

Carambola was stunned: "...... Ahh......h

"Then close your eyes. Li Qingyan smiled, his white teeth shining a little, "The scary big sister is coming." ”

The next moment.

A pale face suddenly drooped to the window. Dense, perforated eyes cover half of the face, and the other half is occupied by a large mouth dripping with saliva. Six slender arms covered with thick black hair poked in, trying to pull the young man out of the window!

Star fruit's head buzzed. She immediately closed her eyes and stiffened in her chair.
