Chapter 3 Hope

"Wei Guangming!!!" A roar broke open the quiet street. A young man who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, sneaked through the alley, with thin and slightly black palms, touched his lips full of oil stains. Behind him were seven or eight children of about the same age, but obviously tall.

At this moment, they were chasing Wei Guangming, who was hiding, as if they were about to eat him. This child named Wei Guangming was hiding from their pursuit in a panic and glanced at the things in his other hand from time to time.

The thing wrapped in oil paper looked like a roast chicken. Combined with the oil stains on his mouth, he was probably almost inseparable. Just when he was distracted, he suddenly hit something and was popped up several meters away. He screamed, and the thing in his hand was accidentally thrown out.

At this moment, the people chasing behind him arrived. They surrounded the child called Wei Guangming, and the leader shouted, "Run, run again!"

Seeing that he was about to suffer a loss, this child called Wei Guangming's eyes swept around quickly, but in despair, he found that there were courtyard walls on both sides, and the roads on both sides were blocked by these people.

The man who was blocking him was Gao Peng, the child king in District 03 of Hope A. And among the people chasing him, the person who was the younger brother named Goldman Sachs.

The ones that followed Goldman Sachs were also leftover children from this neighborhood. Most of them were orphans like him, but they were slightly different. He was adopted, and the one who adopted him was Lao Xiang's wife who died at the time. She also had a son named Xiang Shaojie, who was his bad friend and best friend.

Our protagonist Wei Guangming is the baby rescued by Wei Anguo who died. After breaking through the darkness, their hope fell here, so here is in the name of hope.

Originally, the two of them were inseparable, but today was Shaojie's mother's birthday. When they planned to give her a surprise, they all prepared separately.

As a result, when Wei Guangming was buying roast chicken, he met his arch rival Gao Peng and Goldman Sachs, and this scene happened now.

More than ten years have passed since the catastrophe of that year. After years of hard work and exploration, the remaining people have to unite.

After years of research and exploration, the monster that pursued Hope became clearer and clearer. They were no longer living creatures, or their original form on the earth.

These creatures include animals, plants, and humans killed on the way. After they die, they will be infected by some mysterious force and then become terrifying monsters.

Originally, with the power of human beings, it was not enough to fight against these monsters, but fortunately, the thirteen pillars of light that fell from the sky opened up space for them to survive.

I don’t know if it was intentional. As long as I stay within the range of the light column, I will not be attacked by creatures in the dark. If they dare to approach the light column, they will be burned and corroded at the least, and at worst they will turn into ashes on the spot.

So the surviving humans, with the light column as the center, cast high walls at the edge, forming thirteen iron-walled fortresses, and people take turns to watch every day.

There are nearly a thousand smooth mirrors on the high wall. Under the control of the machinery, they continue to sweep into the darkness, using the vastness of the sky to clean up and warn the monsters that are about to move around.

As the Westerners once said, God closed a door for you, but in order to open a window, humans began to change their bodies after this catastrophe. In the first few years, they just felt that their bodies became stronger and stronger, their minds became smarter, and their skills became sharper.

After that, some people began to feel some different powers, some powers that did not belong to humans, were indescribable, and were somewhat similar to the magical powers recorded in fantasy novels before the catastrophe, or things like vital energy.

This ability can not only affect humans, but also animals and plants. Because of this, nearly half of the animals and plants were taken away by animals and plants.

Fortunately, there are not many humans nowadays, not to mention that the largest light column area of ​​10,000 square kilometers is now mostly under the control of humans.

Compared to animals and plants that come with their own superpower factors when they are born, humans must be able to truly manifest it after they are fifteen years old.

Of course, this does not mean that humans cannot do it. However, before the age of fifteen, what they can feel is only physical and mental changes.

Perhaps over time, after careful research, humans can stimulate their own superpowers like surviving animals and plants.

But Wei Guangming is an individual example. Not only did he not feel the supernatural powers, he could not even feel the strengthening of his own body.

As for the reason, no one knows yet. After Wei Anguo and Lao Xiang died, several people survived the rescue team and worked together to raise the child. When he was five years old, a woman came from another place. She is Wei Guangming's guardian and Lao Xiang's wife Xu Qing.

Xu Qing can be said to treat Wei Guangming as her own, but because she is one person and has to pull two children at the same time, she, who is nearly forty, looks like she is in her fifties.

Wei Guangming knew that the other party really cared about him, so he was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. Unfortunately, in this world after the catastrophe, being well-behaved and sensible is not as useful as his own quality. Therefore, he is often bullied and called him a useless waste.

The one who scolded him the most fiercely and bullied him the most was the two brothers of the Gao family, the king of the neighborhood. Because of their physical strength, both brothers are quite tall and burly, far taller than children of the same age.

It is precisely because of this that the other children became accomplices who bullied Wei Guangming because they joined them.

If Xiang Shaojie had not protected Wei Guangming over the years, his growth experience would have been a little more exciting.

At this moment, Gao Peng stared at Wei Guangming who had fallen to the ground with a condescending face, showing a fierce look, while his younger brother Goldman Sachs asked his younger brother to pick up the oil paper bag flying out of Wei Guangming's hand.

When Wei Guangming saw all this, he became anxious and quickly got up from the ground regardless of the pain, rushing towards the little brother, shouting, "Give me back the roast chicken, that's the birthday gift I prepared for my mother!!"

But what greeted him was the little brother's contemptuous sneer and the fist that reached out to him. With a bang, Wei Guangming was thrown to the ground by a punch, and half of his face instantly became swollen.

There were bursts of ridicule coming from all around, but Wei Guangming changed his cowardice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, got up like crazy and rushed over.

Gao Peng and his younger brother Goldman pinched their waists and watched Wei Guangming be knocked to the ground again and again. For the two brothers, this was really a good entertainment program.

But what they didn't notice was that there was a faint light flowing in Wei Guangming's pupils at this moment. On his left arm, which was hidden in his sleeve, the water drop-shaped mark also flashed slightly at this moment.
