The sun rises high in the east, and the smoke and dust of the past are lingering.
Since the arrival of the Dark Ages, the entire world has been submerged in smog and destruction.
The existence of human beings is like animals, to be slaughtered by others.
Praying for the "mercy" of the dark creatures, and the prevalence of the captivity theory, the last fire of the human race is still burning... and even somewhat inexplicably flourishing.
The wide plains are most suitable for farming.
Tribe No. 1.
The most populous and prosperous human tribe, more than forty species of dark creatures depend on the output of this place for their food.
In the long and distant course of time, the human flesh and blood produced here were enough to fill up a section of the ancient abyss.
At this time, in the huge gathering place, the young boys were wearing simple and tattered clothes.
He was waiting in front of the huge gate, preparing to snatch today's portion of food.
There are too many people, and food rations are always limited. Those who can grab food and grow up healthily are always the strongest and most agile individuals. These people are loved by the dark nobles.
The meat is delicious and the leanness is well proportioned... The boy in front of me obviously does not belong to that category.
He was so thin and short that no one noticed him, just like no one noticed a dead grass in a pasture.
And behind the huge gate, there is a tall figure. He is so huge, his height of a hundred feet makes his head reach to the clouds. His arms are thick, and he can pinch hundreds of people...
It is responsible for distributing daily feed.
"Look at that kid, he's the first one here again." Someone in the distance pointed at the boy.
"This guy comes so early every day. Logically speaking, he should be able to get a lot. Why is he still so thin? It's really strange."
"This kid is obviously protected by an old man. I don't know how much of a waste he is to be able to be like this."
"Maybe the woman he picked up not long ago drained him dry, hahaha, young people nowadays just like those thin bamboo poles."
…
He could clearly hear the discussion in the distance, but he didn't make any unnecessary moves. He still looked at the gate like he did at the beginning.
In this land, language is the least offensive thing. If you get angry because of two sentences, you might as well just find a stone and hit him to death.
He yawned and quickly calculated in his mind.
The first is the proportion of food, which can ensure daily needs without overdosing the amount that will cause physical growth and development. This is about four tablespoons.
Counting the girl's share, she only needs to fill the wooden bowl in her arms half full.
He nodded and ended his daily rough calculation.
Three-quarters of an hour later, almost all the people living around had arrived, and they locked the gates intently.
The tall gate also opened on time, and behind the door, a huge dark creature was revealed. The huge dark creature had huge teeth and ferocious teeth, and its tall body reached into the sky, but everyone present was a little indifferent.
It pushed down the huge platform in its hand, and a large amount of "fertilizer" mixed with unknown objects slid down and filled the open space in front of the gate.
As the "fertilizer" fell, the crowd exploded instantly. Countless people pushed forward, screaming and roaring like apes before the dark ages. The group of people at the front were even pushed into the "fertilizer"
.
Before and after most people arrived, the various tools they held in their hands began to come into play, or they used clothes to carry them, or they stuffed wooden bowls into their arms. In short, they packed as much as they could, even if these
Special "fertilizer" will rot and stink within a day.
The boy's figure had escaped from the crowded crowd and walked to the rear. His timing was perfect.
The huge dark creature high up was drooling and watching the delicious food running around below. It seemed a little hungry, so he reached down and grabbed a handful without hesitation.
The crowd was still as excited as before. They seemed unable to see the giant hands above their heads. They were still loading food, pushing and howling forward.
The huge dark creature did not dare to go too far. It completely filled its extremely wide hand, and it only dared to capture a dozen people.
The face of the arrested person turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The huge dark creature lifted them high above its head, and slowly opened its huge mouth. Then, it squeezed hard, and blood and tender flesh flowed from between its fingers.
What seems fishy and unpleasant to humans is the sweetest and most delicious smell to it. When it tastes the delicious food, it snorts happily.
It's a pity that every little calendar above will come to check the number of little people. It doesn't dare to go too far, otherwise...
…
The boy was walking on the muddy road. There was no one around him. Most of the people were still pushing and shouting in front of the gate.
Someone was observing in the dark, but after seeing the boy clearly, they gave up their plan. After all, it was not their turn to cause trouble for the people covered by the old man.
The boy successfully passed the last section of the more dangerous road, and in the distance, the small shack by the forest was his home.
He walked through a small section of woods that were not too dense and came to the shack.
The environment here is not very good, and it is a bit far from the gate. Most people would not choose such a place to settle down, so there are only a few scattered families here.
The boy walked to the sturdy-looking thickened wooden door of the shack and knocked lightly.
Fast once, slow once, fast four times, slow five times, fast once, slow four times.
The password is correct, and there is a slight unlocking sound from inside.
He opened the door gently, and the thin girl stood behind the door.
If boys are considered thin, girls should be skinny.
The boy raised the wooden bowl in his hand to show that he had got food.
The girl nodded slightly in response.
After entering the shack, the boy locked the simple homemade wooden lock with his backhand and pushed it around to test its strength.
The boy took out another small bowl, scooped out four tablespoons of food from the wooden bowl, handed it to the girl, and said, "It's just right to eat so much today."
The girl reached out and took it. Although the food in the small bowl made her feel physically uncomfortable, she still gritted her teeth and began to swallow. Just eating the food probably took most of her courage.
The boy also swallowed the food with a ferocious expression.
After all, if he knew the specific composition of these foods, it would be difficult not to dislike these things in his heart, but in order to survive, he had no choice.
The girl finished swallowing the food she was thinking about so much and took the water that had settled down before gargling her mouth.
To be honest, the boy admired her quite a lot. When he picked her up, he carefully observed her clothes. There was not even one such neat and complete clothes in the whole gathering place.
Therefore, this girl is probably the legendary heretic, the heretic who resisted the great dark creatures, well... at least that's what the old people above promoted her.
And the girl didn't say a few words to him for so many days, maybe she lacked trust? He didn't know, and he didn't bother to know. It was already difficult to live in this place, so what could he ask for other things?
"Do you have a name?" For the first time, the girl took the initiative to initiate the topic.
The boy was silent for a moment, then he stumbled and said: "I only know that my surname is Zi. As for the name, is that kind of thing really useful?"
Haven't spoken for a long time...
"Is your surname Zi?" The girl thought for a moment, looked at the boy and said, "I have been observing you for a few days. You have a very regular schedule and are very smart. If you follow the normal process, you should start taking action immediately after recovery, but now I
There’s a new idea, do you know if you’re interested in it?”
"Interested? If I live a good life, I should have some aspirations. But for a person who has a hard time even living, do you think he should have extra thoughts?" The boy fiddled with the wooden bars under his feet and answered.
"You are indeed a little different. Your thoughts seem to be different from those of the people here. If they were to answer, they would probably say without hesitation that stutterers can do anything. Their life is a muddled one, a life of a walking dead.
, you seem to be the same as them, but you are full of dissatisfaction inside and outside your words, but your dissatisfaction is hidden very deep. You seem to not care, but this is what you care about the most. After living in such a place for so long, in your heart
It’s still on fire, I can’t even imagine it.”
Let me tell you, if you came here from a prosperous world where humans were the boss and became a grandson, you would be dissatisfied, the boy thought in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
The girl seemed to see his depression for a moment, and then said: "I have been observing you for so long, and if I really make a wrong judgment, I will be unlucky... I am a member of the human race and I have been ordered to come to perform the mission."
Is the human race rising up? Hearing this name, the boy was obviously stunned. It has been three months since he started the main line. He has eaten so many disgusting things. Who said that? Time travel is something that everyone envies.
These things are all lies!
There is no golden finger, the plug-in is gone, the system does not exist... People's misfortune is always fermenting misfortune...
"Are you going to join us?"
The girl's words did not surprise Zi Zheng too much. He brought food to the girl every day and took care of her desperately during her weakest period. Wasn't it just for today?
He hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly: "I do!"
"Very good!" The girl rarely smiled.
"Is there any extraordinary method you can teach me?" Zi negative held his breath. Will the method he has been thinking about finally appear?
"Extraordinary means? What is that?"
Hearing these words, Zi Fu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"No, how can you fight off dark creatures without extraordinary means?"
"Fight away the dark creatures?" The girl's eyes looked like she was looking at a madman, "With our weak bodies, how can we possibly fight away the dark creatures! We can only hide in specially built buildings and put stinking flowers to scare away the approaching ones.
Let them smoke away..."
Zi Fu fell silent, he had some doubts about his birth.
When it first came, he thought it was just a game. When he took the first bite of food, he felt that his life was gloomy. He had been robbed...beaten...but fortunately he was smart enough and fell into his lap...and picked up a beautiful sister.
...I thought the good days were finally coming, but you told me that I don’t have extraordinary power.
Do you expect me to fight with that big fist outside with this thin fist?!
