The jerky that Fei Tan threw was different from the carefully cooked snacks we ate before. The meat was rough, thoroughly dried, and full of weight. It was a typical taste with indescribable taste and inestimable energy.

I sat cross-legged on the bed, gnawing my head like a little milk dog desperately on a bone. When Kuroro came back, he sat next to me and opened his mouth: "I want to eat too."

I had no choice but to remove the jerky, turned around, and handed the other end that hadn't been bitten to his mouth.Kuroro took it, and easily broke the tough and hard jerky into two pieces, handed the lower half back to me, and began to bite himself.

"This starving ghost looks like a reincarnation, did you eat anything on the way?" Fei Tan asked in surprise.

"It's a bit unlucky." Kuroro replied in a hurry, and then said, "There is a man who came with us, the big guy who came to the grocery store twice to buy things, your first customer."

Feitan thought of it, and let out an inexplicable "hum".

"We had a fight with people from District [-] on the way," Kurolo said.In two sentences, he swallowed the palm-long beef jerky.

Fei Tan threw him a pack of instant noodles in front of him.

"I'll pay you back tomorrow. Franklin—that guy's ability is a bit interesting, you can't beat him unless you use a big move." Kurolo smiled.

Fei Tan raised his eyebrows.I finally finished grinding half of the jerky, looked over Kuroro who was sitting in the middle, and said pitifully, "Fei Tan, I want to drink water."

Feitan silently handed me the brand new mineral water in front of him.

"Just this bottle?" I asked hesitantly.

"...There are more over there." Fei Tan pointed to the whole row of mineral water bottles in the corner behind him, with a very forbearing tone.

I was relieved and happily unscrewed the bottle cap: "Thank you Feitan!"

"Drink yours. What did those people say?" Feitan turned his head and asked Kurolo.

Kuroro squeezed the hands of the instant noodles and smiled: "They said they plan to integrate the team, and the ability-readers and ordinary people will hunt separately."

"As you expected?" Fei Tan frowned and said.

"A new class is forming." Kuroro said.

When he said this, he looked forward, and his eyes fell far away on the place where he had just left. His calm expression and tone had a very godlike temperament.But then he lowered his head and pinched a piece of dry instant noodles, eating until his cheeks bulged, just like a young hamster.

"Is it delicious?" I asked him curiously.Aren't instant noodles in such bags usually boiled and eaten?It's awkward to eat directly like this.

Of course, putting this sentence here is just another way of saying "give it to me too".

Kuroro kindly handed me the bag and let me take it myself.

"...No taste." I chewed and commented with a frown.

"The essence is here." Kuroro picked up a small seasoning packet from the bag with two fingers, and shook it in front of my eyes. "Precious table salt. It's not for you."

He raised his hand, and the seasoning package drew an elegant arc in the air, and precisely landed in an empty bottle that was cut open not far away - several of the same seasoning package had already been stored in it.

Our ability to crook the building is too strong, and we can't say a few words about the business.On the opposite side, Lan, who was sharing bread with his sister, couldn't help asking: "Has it been decided yet? Think about the separation of ability users and ordinary people?"

By the way, smoke is an ordinary person without reading.

When they first picked up Kuroro, neither Lan nor Yan started reading.Afterwards, they walked to the depths of the second district together with Kuroro. Lan asked Kuroro to force him to read, but he was not willing to let Yan risk his life to do so.Because there was no protection from the entanglement, the previous cigarettes suffered a lot, until Kuroro managed to get a necklace that could imitate the entanglement-yes, it was the same as the one he gave me.

Now, the red necklace that Kuroro once disliked hangs around Yan's neck.

It's just that even with the necklace, the gap in strength between the psychic and ordinary people still cannot be erased.What's more, the battlefield is changing rapidly, it's a life-and-death business-so separated like this, of course, the elder brother can't agree.

"No, not yet. I object." Kuroro told Lan, "Lydia is not a person with the ability to read."

……Yes Yes.It's all my fault that I don't have such self-consciousness, because I don't feel that I am inferior to those with the ability to read.

I raised my hand to speak, but Kurolo said immediately, "But it will be a matter of time."

"We have already guessed before, because the old forces nearby are doing this. Our current team has been here for less than half a year. If we want to fully gain a foothold and integrate into the environment, it is the fastest and safest way to imitate the surrounding forces way."

"They use ordinary people as...cannon fodder." Lan said with difficulty, his expression already serious.

"To be exact, it's cannon fodder and coolies." Kuroro said calmly.

"And there are always a few lucky ones among the cannon fodder who will activate their mind power before they die." Fei Tan mocked, "so the further you go in, the higher the proportion of people with mind power."

"I thought it was just because of the environment." Lan said.

"Not all. After all," Kuroro smiled, "With the death rate in the second district, the lesions that will not appear until at least three to five years later are not that serious. Strength is the key to everything."

"The second district's pursuit of strength has reached a crazy level." Ma Qi also sat down and joined the conversation.

Pike sat next to her, and said: "As far as I know, the second district is actually like a huge arena. Only those with special skills can survive the brutal competition, and those who can stand out in the battle are the It will be absorbed by the power on the upper level... In this way, the last big power gathers the most talents and uses it to trade materials with the [-]th district. It is also a garbage disposal point, which is the third district under the control of the [-]nd district and the council. The biggest difference between District [-] and District [-] is that compared to rubbish, talents, mainly people with the ability to read, are the basis for the establishment of District [-]."

"It's like cultivating Gu." I couldn't help but say.

"Gu?" Kuroro asked.

"It is to put a bunch of bugs in a jar and kill them. The person who raises Gu only needs to be the last one who survives, the strongest."

"Very vivid." Kuroro nodded, and asked curiously: "Is it really possible? What's so special about the bugs raised like that?"

"No!" I exclaimed in horror, "Don't keep bugs!"

"...Leave them alone." Fei Tan said to Lan with no surprise, "Ordinary people who can't read are discriminated against in the second district. This is a fact. The further you go, the problem will only get worse. Then what are you going to do What to do? Read to your sister?"

This is indeed a once-and-for-all solution, but seeing Lan's hesitant face, he knew it would not work.After all, it is not difficult to forcefully open the recitation, you have to open it early.

"Brother! I am willing to read!" Yan clenched his fist and said loudly.It's not the first time she has struggled with the issue.

"Stop making trouble!" Lan sternly stopped her.He wiped his face, looked back helplessly and said: "Hey, I know you're not afraid. It's me... I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my mother."

"Brother..." Yan's stubborn expression softened.

"Don't worry, Yan," Lan rubbed the top of her sister's hair, "If the day comes when we can't protect you, we'll leave here."

"It hasn't reached that level yet." Kuroro said rationally, "I was not the only one who opposed the integration of resources just now." He looked around, and everyone in the small base was busy and full of vitality.

"The strongest teams want change because it's in their best interest, but most people's thinking hasn't changed that quickly. Think about how much ordinary people make up these teams, and what they want more is centralization. "

"So," Kurollo asserted, "so far, staying here is still our best solution. After all, they need time, and we need time even more."

"We listen to you." Lan nodded.

"Seeing that some people have been upset for a long time, there is really no way." Fei Tan regretfully expressed his compromise.

"Understood." March said.

"By the way, Lydia, what did you want to say just now?" Kuroro asked me suddenly.

I was really stunned for a moment, and it took me a while to realize what he was referring to. I hesitated and said, "I don't want to hold back. I, I have training in the sixth district..."

I am embarrassed to go on, the more I talk, the less confident I am in my fighting ability.After all, I can't use the words of Lingling, I really... and Kuroro's strength is there, even Ma Qi has his own mind skills...

But, but after all, it is a very desperate devil training, how could it be ineffective...

I do not know.

"Then give it a try," Kuroro said to me.

"Eh?"

"If you want to test your strength, you will know if you come to a game."

"!!"

It's not that I'm cowardly. When I think of sparring, I reflexively feel a little weak.Before I could hesitate, Kurolo pulled me to stand up, turned to the others and said, "Which one of you wants to come?"

When I stood on the field and looked at Kuroro opposite, I was still a little confused.It is said that Shangwu in the second district is really not built. If you go out of the shed, there is an open space.

"You come first?" Kuroro asked from the opposite side.

"...You go first." I'm a defensive player, and I'm still sloppy when it comes to offense.

"Then here I come."

Kuroro spoke a complete sentence steadily, and then—disappeared in place suddenly!

Before I could clearly see his attacking route, I dodged reflexively and receded diagonally backward.Kuroro's palm brushed against my cheek with a thin margin, and he praised in surprise, "Not bad!"

I was far less leisurely than he was. With my toes on the ground and my center of gravity lowered, I had turned half a circle by inertia, and swung my left arm out, cutting my hand at his abdomen.

Kuroro leaped back lightly, evading the blow—this was different from my prediction!If it was Illumi, he would twist his back and dodge, let my hand brush his side, and at the same time lean forward and grab my arm directly, break it!

Yes, my experience is limited to fighting Illumi alone.I began to realize how big a deficiency this was. I couldn't swing my ready-to-go right fist, so I had to straighten up on the spot and pounce forward.

Kuroro obviously kept his hands back, he was waiting for me to attack.

I took two steps to run up, jumped high, and slashed down with a knife in my hand-given that my strength was always insufficient, but my jumping ability and flexibility were very good, using various inertias was my more common method.

Kuroro turned his head and raised his hand to block. Before I could close my hand, I simply sent my wrist to his palm - usually at this time, Illumi grabbed my wrist, and I took advantage of the opportunity to fight with one hand Being broken, I quickly pulled myself towards him to carry out the next round of melee attacks... There is a certain chance that he will be kicked hard by me, this depends on posture and luck.

Kuroro held my wrist, and the warm palm touched my skin. I already reflexively felt the sharp pain of the broken wrist.

It hurts so much... As soon as I let out that energy, I completely forgot to continue to attack, gasped, and fell directly from the high jumping position!

Kuroro reacted quickly, grabbing me in his arms.He stopped and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

My face must have been ugly, I moved my wrist that was still in his hand, and muttered: "It hurts..."

"I didn't use any force!" Kuroro let go of his hand immediately, put his finger back and touched the wrist bone, and frowned at me.

He must have realized it. I felt hot and cold on my face, and I almost cried, and said with difficulty: "He breaks my bones every time..." My eye circles turned red suddenly, and my heart was choked up, "It's really painful. It hurts, it hurts to death!"

Feeling embarrassed and wronged.

Kurolo asked seriously: "Then how will you fight with people in the future?"

"I... just afraid of pain." I thought hard, looked at him and said, "Because I don't want to die, so I have to endure the pain."

"Probably because Kuroro...wouldn't hurt me, so he became afraid of pain." I said in shame, while trying to blink the tears back into my eyes.

Kuroro pulled my clenched fingers to show comfort, but turned his head and said: "But you are...not right. You are easy to get injured, and it is too dangerous to trade injuries for lives in actual combat. Yes. What happened to the person who taught you?"

"I know what's going on." Fei Tan walked over at some point and said.

"Are you afraid of fighting and never take the initiative to attack?" He asked me, the sharp eyes in his golden eyes were like two sharp swords, looking straight into my heart.

"I..." I choked, wanting to deny it, but couldn't say it after recalling it.

"That's what happened. She refused to take the initiative to attack, and the people who taught her forced her to develop this kind of fighting style that trades injuries for lives. How do you say that? It's overkill." Feitan affirmed, and at the same time gave me A contemptuous look: "Coward."

"I... fear..." I struggled not to admit such an embarrassing fact.

"I understand." Kurolo said, "Lydia, before you went to the sixth district, you only killed people, but never fought. Do you remember how you killed people? You used Yan Ling fixed the opponent, and then directly attacked the vital points. You attacked so decisively, not because you had the desire to attack, but because you were sure that the opponent would not be able to counterattack. So in fact, once the opponent might defend and counterattack, you dare not make a move. "

"Then what should I do?...No! I have, I can overcome it..." I struggled.

"Take it easy." Kuroro rubbed my head, "It's not a big problem, just practice a few more times."

"Your speed is not slow, and if you concentrate on it, your reaction is also very good. Your jumping, balance and flexibility are all tops." Fei Tan also said, "Beat more people, and find the feeling of attacking. Don't think too much about your opponent. horrible."

"Yes!" I nodded vigorously with red eyes.

A good exhibition match was over while I was timidly rubbing my eyes and sticking out my tongue.

Kuroro and Feitan have taught me how to fight a long time ago, and they have long been used to my good-for-nothings. Among the friends outside the field, Ma Qi is a little Douding who doesn't go to the frontal battle very much and has a cold temper. Pike and Lan Yan Brother and sister didn't know each other very well on the first day, so I'm sorry to laugh at me...

In short, the inner face was completely lost, but the face was still hanging on it, and everyone exposed this stubble without mentioning it.

Then there was another episode.

Franklin, who didn't know where to let himself go before, came back, and he asked Kurolo to report.

Kuroro will introduce one or two to everyone (in fact, just talk about the name, there is nothing more to say), and take this eye-catching big man to report to the person in charge of the entire team to show that this is not an uninvited guest who sneaked into our base without authorization .Afterwards, Franklin took the bed board he found and settled it in the empty room next door to us.

It was getting late, and according to the ancient timetable of sunrise and sunset, the second district was about to fall into a deep sleep.

"That's it for tonight, and we'll find you a bed tomorrow." Kuroro took out two dark pillows and placed them on the huge bed board nailed by two door panels, and said to me without looking back.

I watched him busy with pouted buttocks, and suddenly remembered that when we first met in the nursery school, I was so busy up and down to make room for him, and I couldn't help laughing.

Back then we were still using sponge pillows.

"It doesn't matter if you have a bed or not." I smiled, "It's just that it's a bit small for three people to sleep here."

Three people: me, Kurolo, and Feitan.

Brother and sister Lanyan sleep together, so naturally I don't have a role to play.Madge and Parker had been sleeping on that spring mattress before, and they invited me, but their mattress was obviously high-end, but only half of them were good enough to sleep on, so naturally the girls' night show couldn't be held.

In the end, we, the Iron Triangle, squeezed into a bed—Kurolo and I have been sleeping together since we were four years old, and we have no gender awareness for a long time.

"Just nailing one more door panel will make it spacious." I lay on the "bed" and said.

"Do you think the door panel is so easy to find?" Kuroro was lying next to me.

"Go down a little bit." He pushed me.

The two of us shared a pillow, and it was really crowded. Kuroro motioned for me to shrink down and put it on his arm.

"It will be numb." I reminded.

"Sleep with you." Ku Luoluo suddenly got up halfway again, wrapped me in the dirty quilt, and wrapped both hands in it: "Don't move your hands, sweep them to the ground and prick the thorns Call again."

The floor is made of dismantled wooden containers, and the garbage is kept under it, but the texture is extremely rough. If you sit on the floor, even your pants will be scratched, not to mention my arm rubbing against it.

"Yes." I closed my eyes and said in a daze.

"Oh, the troublemaker is back again." Kuroro sighed and lay down again.

"Hmph, Kuroro is starting mother-in-law again." Fei Tan said with a lazily smirk on the other side of him.

The hard board hurt my bones, and I rolled over.

"Okay, good night." Kuroro hugged my blanket roll.

It was completely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.Except for the occasional walking and crowing, everything is silent.

In an unfamiliar environment, I buried my face in his arms and said softly, "Good night."

The author has something to say: Papa Feitan, Mama Kurolo, Baby Lydia, we are a happy family!

Please take leave tomorrow, my dears~
