Even in the most absurd dreams, little Hayes never thought that one day he would leave the neighborhood where he had lived for fifteen years. It was even the first time that he knew that the huge city where he lived was called Abu Bakari Hive.
, in fact, in his fifteen-year view of the world, the sky is a gray iron-colored dome covered with huge pipes, the ground is a quagmire that is always dirty and full of sewage, and everyone lives in iron houses, except for those who are very powerful.
Big ones can live in bigger tin houses.
When he was taken out of the hive, he realized for the first time that the sky was gray iron color, and it was so high and so big.
"Hey kid, how old are you?"
Little Hayes, who was in a trance, felt someone pushing him next to him. He turned his head to the left and saw a thin and greasy face with a bald head, some wrinkles on his forehead, big ears, and was wearing a wrinkled jacket.
He was wearing white work clothes, filled with a strong smell of cigarette smoke and body odor, and he was about forty years old.
"ah?"
"Asking you, are you stupid?"
"I am fifteen this year."
"fifteen?"
A voice came from his right, and then a guy with a swollen face, big eyes, and thick bags under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for three or four days, stretched out. He had thick short brown hair, and he looked quite well-proportioned, except for his chin.
It's big, and you can vaguely see webs between the fingers, making the whole person look like a fish.
But Hayes wasn't too surprised. There were many more powerful mutations than this in the bottom nest. This guy was considered light, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reach this place.
"Didn't it say that the minimum age standard is 16?"
The man whom Hayes temporarily named Fish Head Brother let out a murmur of exclamation.
The middle-aged man on the left of little Hayes sneered, shook his head and said:
"It's enough for the gentlemen to gather enough people. It's not a big deal if you lose one or two years."
Yes, little Hayes is currently on a transport ship belonging to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the place he is going to is completely unknown and strange.
As a street child, his mother died when he was seven years old. As for his father, he never knew who he was. After that, he joined a group with orphans and street children in the neighborhood to keep warm. Occasionally, he would be bullied by the "big guys".
The priests in the neighborhood were very powerful. Little Hayes had witnessed the bearded grandfather using a flamethrower to drive away the gangsters, so his highest ideal in life was to be a priest.
However, others told him that to be a priest, one must be literate. Although little Hayes worked very hard and would even go to school to eavesdrop and pick up other people's discarded textbooks, he was still far from being "literate" - the state religion's definition of literacy is to be able to
Basic reading and writing in High Gothic.
But even so, little Hayes is still considered an "intellectual" among their children's gang.
"Kid, what's your name?"
After hearing the middle-aged uncle's words, little Hayes hesitated for a moment, and then whispered:
"Hayes."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up the small broken hat on Hayes' head, and burst into laughter.
"You are bald even at such a young age!"
Hayes scratched his head in embarrassment. Maybe he had inherited some disease. He started losing hair when he was eight years old. After the age of ten, he was basically bald, but it was not completely——
"Hey, let me count, one, two, three, four"
Brother Yutou pointed at little Hayes' head with his finger, and then he also laughed.
"Hey, there are a total of thirteen hairs. This number is very auspicious!"
As soon as he said this, people around him gathered around to watch the excitement. There were hundreds of people locked up in this small cabin. It was already crowded, but this time of commotion, you stepped on me and I pushed you.
Get messy.
Little Hayes seemed very nervous when he was surrounded by so many people, but he had no place to hide, so he could only huddle up like a helpless puppy.
"No fuss, no fuss!"
A stern scolding sound suddenly came from the loudspeaker above everyone's heads.
"If you don't want to be whipped, get back to your original position immediately!"
After saying this, everyone dispersed in a hurry. After all, someone had really been whipped, and it was an electrified whip. Three lashes could kill someone half to death.
"Kid, my name is Hasek."
At this time, the crowded cabin became dead silent. A middle-aged man named Hasek touched Hayes and whispered:
"How did you get on this ship? Being a soldier is no fun."
Hayes grabbed his little hat, and he was a little confused as to how he got here.
Then he recalled it.
"At that time, Xiao An said that the roadside was very lively with many people and cars, so I thought about selling the biting clams I collected from the ditch. I saw many cars with many people on them, and I just called two
As soon as I heard the sound, an officer wearing a big hat asked me to come over and said he wanted to buy something from me. He also asked me to raise the basket higher, raise it higher. He suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted me into the car. "
"Those people are so evil."
The fishman brother suddenly joined in the conversation.
"I can catch my friend who is so young and skinny."
"I guess there's a difference. You happened to bump into me again."
With that said, Hasek took little Hayes' hat.
"It's okay. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'm a veteran."
Then he leaned back against the wall, covered his face with his hat and was about to fall asleep.
But as soon as he mentioned veterans, little Hess suddenly became interested, shook his knees and said:
"Uncle Hasek, have you really been a soldier?"
"yes--"
The other party answered slowly.
"Ever been in a war?"
"Beat--"
"Then you are really awesome! Have you ever shot a gun?"
"Tsk!"
Hasek pulled off his hat and glared at little Hayes.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense!"
"Oh, uncle Hasek, where have you fought?"
"Fighted everywhere, Badab, Endymion, Siniask."
This is when Brother Yutou suddenly interrupted:
"Then why are you squatting with us rookies?"
Hasek's body stiffened slightly, and then he said impatiently.
"I don't seek fame or fortune. I will disband and return to my field after the fight. This time, Huron made such a big fuss that I am willing to take action. Otherwise, I wouldn't even come if the leader invites me."
Little Hayes was stunned by the other party's words. After scratching his head, he asked carefully.
"Who is Huron?"
"A big bad guy. If he stands in front of you, you can kill him with one shot. That's right."
"Gun, but I don't have a gun."
"It will be there in a while, don't bother me, I have to stare for a while."
At this time, everyone had been crowded in the cabin for several days and nights. Not only was the air turbid, but there was only one bathroom. The food was also protein blocks thrown in from above like animals. Every time the food was fed, there would be a fight. Although little Hayes was small and thin,
But at this time, it became an advantage, and he could always "pick up the leaks" - although some of them had been trampled into disgrace, for little Hayes, the protein chunks were already more delicious than he expected.
