God's Gift

The wanderers in the darkness gasped as they looked at the bullets that were cut off in mid-air.

Silence and darkness were intertwined, and the air was so cold that it made people's hearts palpitate.

"What's wrong?" Yu Youyou didn't get an answer for a long time. She walked around from behind Lu Keming to the front and asked innocently, "Why don't you guys say anything?"

The clear voice echoed in the empty hotel lobby, but there was still no response from the other side, who was still warily assessing the group of unknown people in front of them.

After a long silence, Lu Keming withdrew his tender gaze from Yu Youyou, turned his eyes slightly and looked at the darkness ahead.

There was a hint of impatience in Lu Keming's beautiful indigo eyes. He raised his chin, raised his eyebrows, looked forward, and slowly said:

"I'm asking you a question."

He snorted coldly, his voice full of his usual contempt, "Are you scared now?"

Because of these provocative words, the other party finally responded.

Footsteps were heard, and a pair of muddy Martin boots appeared in everyone's dim vision.

A sturdy man walked out of the darkness.

Anthony took out a lamp from the storage space and lit up the dim hotel lobby, allowing the students to see the people opposite them clearly.

This man should be the leader of this group of wanderers. Before and after he stepped forward, other people in the darkness also stepped forward one after another.

The man stopped in front of Lu Keming and Yu Youyou, sized up the two people with caution, and finally identified the handsome and cold-looking young man in front of him as the source of danger.

After a brief look, the man came to a conclusion.

This young man seems to have a bad temper.

"Sorry, we just thought you were monsters trying to break in, so we stopped you outside."

Lu Keming twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Really?"

The man naturally heard the disdain in Lu Keming's voice. His expression froze for a second, and then he smiled as if nothing had happened:

"Desperate City is too dangerous. We must be cautious."

While he was explaining, Lu Keming looked away with a lack of interest and once again focused all his attention on Yu Youyou standing beside him.

The man watched Lu Keming in front of him start to play with the small flower decoration on Yu Youyou's collar, his expression a little stiff, and he coughed lightly.

"My name is Jiang De, and I'm a member of the Wanderers. My companions and I encountered some accidents while hunting in the City of Despair, and we were accidentally trapped here."

"Are you also here to hunt in Desperate City?"

"Hunting?" Fang Ziang's trembling voice came from behind, "You are hunting in this damn place? Those monsters must be catching you."

After hearing this, the hotel lobby, which was originally filled with some whispers, fell completely silent.

Facing the gazes of the wanderers in front of him, Fang Ziang choked and silently took a step back.

In the chilly silence, Lu Keming was still fiddling with the small flower on Yu Youyou's collar with great interest.

His fingers occasionally rubbed Yu Youyou's neck. Yu Youyou endured for a while, and finally reached out to pull away Lu Keming's hand on her collar. She stared at Lu Keming with round eyes and muttered, "Itchy."

His hand was knocked away, and Lu Keming lowered the corners of his eyes. A circle of ripples appeared in his clear eyes, and the wetness added a bit of pity, which was completely different from the expression he had when facing Jiang De just now.

Yu Youyou didn't continue looking at Lu Keming, but curiously followed up on Fang Ziang's question and asked:

"Is there no food outside? Need you to come here for food?"

Only when there is no food in the nearby seas will the fish in the sea go to dangerous places to find food.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lu Keming saw that Yu Youyou was not looking at him, so he finally put away his pitiful expression and glanced indifferently at the people opposite him.

After a while, a man's cold laughter came from among the wanderers.

"It looks like they are from Hope City again. They are just like hothouse flowers kept in captivity by those perverted machines. They don't even know what's going on outside."

Lu Keming listened to this, narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers.

City of Hope.

The perverted robot should refer to the leader, and the city controlled by the leader...

Lu Keming was halfway through his thoughts when he heard Yu Youyou's particularly serious rebuttal:

“I’m not a flower.”

Lu Keming's gaze fell on Yu Youyou's serious face, his expression gradually softened, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his thoughts were successfully diverted by Yu Youyou's words.

It’s definitely not a flower…

It is a unique little fish from the sea.

Fang Ziang, who was at the back, finally heard someone speak and immediately responded, "Me neither."

Ye Li glanced at Fang Ziang and Yu Youyou, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

"Ah."

Laughter came from the wanderers.

Hearing the laughter, Lu Keming's expression paused. He slowly raised his eyes and looked forward. Soon his gaze fell on the man with a yellow hedgehog hair among the wanderers.

Jiang De immediately noticed the change in the man's mood and turned back to warn the hedgehog-haired man, "Ma Ning, shut up."

After all, he glanced at Lu Keming, thought flashed in his eyes, and explained:

"The leaders control Hope City and create a utopia for humans. They only pass on the information they want you to know to the humans in the city, so you may not know much about what is happening outside Hope City."

"The leader has seized all the resources, and we wanderers can only survive on the edge of Desperate City. We risk our lives every day to enter Desperate City to hunt and bring food back to the garrison."

As if they had suffered greatly, with every word Jiang De said, the wanderers behind him became more and more excited, until one of them shouted loudly.

"Leaders are just a bunch of cruel, cold, and inhumane machines."

Listening to the indignant accusations of the group of people in front, Yu Youyou nodded in agreement, "That's true."

“Human nature is indeed something only humans possess.”

Lu Keming was listening carefully to what Yu Youyou was going to say. When these words came out, his expression froze for a moment, and then a laugh escaped from his mouth.

Jiang De's voice choked, and after a long while he smiled and said:

"Since everything just now was a misunderstanding, no matter where we are from, we are now trapped in the City of Despair. We can be considered friends who share weal and woe."

Lu Keming raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang De, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

friend.

If they hadn't forced the door open, there wouldn't be any friends there.

But Lu Keming was accustomed to this kind of human face.

Jiang De continued, "The City of Despair is full of dangers. I'm sure you're all tired. Take a good rest."

"We have already inspected the Fenglin Hotel. There are no major problems. We can continue to resist the monsters outside."

Hearing the word "continue" in Jiang De's words, Yu Youyou tilted her head and asked, "Were you also here when you were trapped in the City of Despair?"

Jiang De didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so perceptive. He was stunned for a moment, then continued to explain:

"The Fenglin Hotel was built before the city of Despair was completely occupied to resist the mutated monsters. The defense measures here are enough to resist most of the monsters outside."

"For food, we need to frequently enter the desperate city, and it is common to encounter unpredictable dangers."

"If you are delayed by something and fail to leave the City of Despair before night falls, you will have no choice but to stay at the Fenglin Hotel and wait for the sun to rise."

After entering the hotel, everyone's body temperature gradually rose, the ice on Fang Ziang's clothes melted, and the temperature gradually rose.

He listened to Jiang De's words and asked with a headache:

"Why can't we move outside at night? What comes out at night here?"
