Plane Convenience Store

Lu Lu was surprised by the 50-year-old drink, and couldn't help admiring the lizard man's iron stomach.

But no matter how much the lizard man cherishes this can of drink, he really doesn't want to accept it, because this can of drink is really useless to him.

So, Lu Lu said: "Sorry, I have enough food and water here, and there are many drinks like this. If you really want to pay the bill, just tell the story of your world."

Facing the puzzled look of the lizard man, Lu Lu said: "Don't look at this store like this, I can't leave here. Therefore, although customers from different worlds come to the store every day, if they don't say, I just don't know anything."

The lizard man turned his vertical pupils and glanced at the store, and there were items on the shelves that he had never heard of before.

Even when he was a kid... before he was kicked out of 'Eden', he hadn't seen a store like this.

The bright and clean storefront is full of shelves full of goods.

Including the 'Laoshan Mineral Water' in his hand. Although he didn't know the words on it, he could understand the meaning of these words strangely.

Looking at the production date engraved on the bottle and the end of the shelf life, he can realize that this is a product that is still within the shelf life.

Pure water is very precious, and it is still within the shelf life, which once again made him realize the incredibleness of this store.

Therefore, he understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's words 'he has no shortage of supplies'. With such a big shop, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will not be thirsty or hungry at the end of the world.

Not to mention... because of the lack of clean water, he would become such a terrifying monster.

After sorting out his thoughts, the lizard man organized his language well, and really planned to exchange stories for materials.

He could see clearly that even if he reached a high position in the wasteland, he couldn't pay the price to satisfy the shopkeeper.

In this case, he might as well satisfy the shopkeeper's curiosity honestly, because this is the only thing he can sell.

……

In order to be worthy of the precious [0-degree purified water] in his hands, Lizard Man told a long story.

The story begins with the Fifth World War, when countries began to carry out nuclear strikes, and as a result, the planet was turned into a wasteland, with only a few human beings surviving.

Due to the radiation caused by nuclear pollution, including human beings, animals and plants all over the world have suffered a devastating blow.

The impact of nuclear pollution is huge, and human civilization is destroyed.

But those humans who survived by chance are still lingering in the wasteland, trying to establish small settlements one by one.

The lizard man was born in the wasteland world many years after the nuclear strike.

Unlike most people in the wasteland, the lizard man was lucky to be born in [Eden].

And his mother was a beautiful woman in [Eden].

The lizard man's mother was a woman with sallow complexion and mottled hair.

Such a woman can only be called ordinary before the end of the world, and some people will even secretly call her ugly. ,

But in the settlement, at least in the eyes of people in the wasteland world, the lizard man's mother is already one of the most beautiful women in the wasteland.

Any wastelander who sees her will think that she deserves it, as long as they can spend some time with her, even if they die immediately, it's worth it.

Without it, it is only because in the wasteland full of radiation, human beings have undergone mutations under the influence of radiation.

There are not many left who can maintain a human appearance like the lizard male mother.

The newborns of the wasteland are barely human-like, but more of them are disgusting monsters.

From this, one can imagine how popular the lizard male mother is.

Unlike the outside world where there is no order and you fight to the death, [Eden Garden] is one of the largest settlements in the wasteland.

When there are many people, there will be order.And [Garden of Eden] also preserved many technological products before the end of the world, enough to deter the Quartet, so the aborigines born in [Garden of Eden] enjoyed the 'safety' that other wastelanders could not enjoy.

But that's about it.

Like Lizard Man's mother, she's a native of [Eden].

But a powerless beauty like her can't protect herself no matter what.

Therefore, on the basis of half coercion and half willingness, she has many concubines in [Eden Garden], and she has never been short of men.

The lizard man doesn't know if his mother is willing, but thanks to the blessings of these men, his mother's life is much better than other people in [Eden Garden]. At least when he was young, although his mother hated him as a 'monster', she never had He eats and drinks.

Compared with those children whose parents love but lack clean water and food and die because of it.

Thanks to water from his mother, he was able to grow up to the age where he could survive on his own.

But when he was seven years old, his mother couldn't wait to drive him away.

And the mother has too many concubines, no one knows whose child he is.

So in order to please his mother, a man gave him a batch of supplies and drove him out of [Garden of Eden], ordering him not to go back. From then on, he began the journey of arduous survival in the wasteland.

Driven out from the comfortable [Eden Garden], the Lizard Man doesn't hate his mother's cruelty.

Because even he himself looks down on a monster like himself.

Compared with the two elder brothers who look like his mother, and the elder sister who has a pair of moa wings but looks like his mother, he looks like a lizard from birth.

Moreover, he knew that his mother was also frightened to hate a disgusting child like him.

He had heard a gossip that when his mother was pregnant with him, a piece of news happened nearby.

A woman gave birth to a pair of eight-legged spiders, and the giant spider ate his mother's intestines at birth.

People said that both the woman and her husband had high levels of radiation, and the possibility of the child mutating was extremely high. That's why a little monster was born and ate his mother to death as soon as he was born.

Things like this, [Eden Garden] would happen every now and then, so it's not really news.

And in the wasteland outside of [Eden], those homeless people who don't have clean water to drink have higher radiation levels, and this kind of thing is commonplace.

But mother, the woman who lived in [Eden] obviously didn't want this kind of thing to happen to her, so when she saw him as a monster, she couldn't feel any affection.

She was worried that he would not have the sanity of a human being and would go mad and commit evil deeds of killing his mother, so she couldn't wait to drive him away.

But anyway, she had raised him with fear and loathing.So the lizard man has only a deep sense of gratitude to his mother, even though she didn't give him a name, even the name 'lizard' is a nickname for people around him to laugh at him.

The lizard man had no friends since he was a child, and his mind was not bright. He heard most people call him that, and over time, he took it as his own name.

Later, he himself introduced himself to people in this way.

……

Unlike the children who were pampered and raised before the end of the world, the children of [Eden Garden] can be regarded as self-reliant adults when they live to be seven years old.

And when the lizard man came out of the wasteland, he didn't know how comfortable [Eden Garden] is.

The children of the wasteland are thrown away by their parents when they are four or five years old.

More parents, pat their buttocks as soon as their children are born.

It is their greatest kindness not to stew children as tonics.

At first, Lizard Boy felt that the homeless people outside [Garden of Eden] were very barbaric and inhuman.

But after wandering outside for a long time, he also became familiar with the customs of the vagrants, and this was a last resort.

The vagrants are wandering outside, without clean water and clean food, and their parents mate wantonly regardless of the radiation value, so the vagrants who can maintain their human form are several times less than Eden.

In this case, the resulting children are little monsters that do not resemble their parents.

This kind of monster has an extremely high radiation value, and most of them lose human reason.

Raise a 'monster' by your side, it doesn't care whose child it is.

Even the parents, even the same 'human', it still eats.

In such a case, the little monster is discarded at birth, and such a mother is already a representation of the Virgin Mary.

After all... there is no human reason anymore. Can such a 'person' really be called a 'human being'?

Even the lizard man himself often feels that he is not worthy of the title 'human'.

He is not worthy of being human.

Closer to home, children outside [Eden], especially little monsters, are often discarded by their parents at birth.

But as the creator's compensation, they are able to fend for themselves as soon as they are born, and some are even stronger than their parents, having mutated abilities that are more suitable for survival.

Like a beast...but stronger than a beast.

This has brought a lot of trouble to people who survive in the wasteland.

These little monsters, they killed quite a few wastelanders (and human sane 'people'), but again, they were an important source of food.

At the beginning, the lizard man wondered whether the prey he hunted was a mutation of other animals, or a little monster born by 'human'.

But over time, he stopped thinking about the problem of being full.

……

After wandering outside for several years, Lizard Man stumbled and lived to be 15 years old.

If it was before the end of the world, he should still be a teenager in junior high school, but in the wasteland, the lizard man feels that he is already an indomitable adult man, and he can think about his partner.

In fact, a few years earlier, he could start to find a partner for himself.

But at that time, he couldn't guarantee his own survival. Finding a partner in such a situation would only increase the pain.

So he didn't start thinking about this issue until his hunting skills had greatly improved, and he was able to protect himself well in the wasteland, and even protect one person at times.

As a human being, you will always feel lonely.

Even a alien species that can no longer be called a human needs another monster to accompany it.

The lizard man himself looks like a monster, and despite being influenced by his mother, he also has the same human aesthetics.

But if you think about it, you will know that a "human" doesn't like a lizard, even if it has multiple mouths, so the lizard man never puts the goal of choosing a mate on a human being, but hopes to find the same monster to accompany him. Human sanity, even a few points will do.
