plague

Nian Ai was alone in the room, sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, and just sat there all night with her eyes open.

She stared out of the window blankly, from night to dawn, there seemed to be no big difference.

The climate in the last days is very extreme. Most of the sky is covered by black and breathless clouds. You don’t know when it will fall with hailstones that can smash people’s heads, or corrosive acid rain, and rare sunshine. Brightness means high temperatures that the human body cannot bear.

Before coming to Nian's house, Nian Ai was a pariah living in District D. It was many years ago, but that memory was always clearly engraved in her mind.

Like garbage with life, no one cares where it is born and where it dies.

Nian Ai didn't know who her parents were, nor where she was. Since she was a little sensible, she went to the supplies station to receive a ration of food every day, just like other children around her. , After coming out of the supply station, the food in their hands was taken away by the adults who gathered the children together. It was not until late at night that those adults threw some food scraps to satisfy their hunger.

During those dark days, Nian Ai never felt the feeling of food filling his stomach, nor did he know what it meant to be hungry, but only felt pain.

Pain was the only feeling throughout her entire childhood.

When I was lying on the ground with a throbbing stomachache from hunger and had no strength to get up, and was beaten and kicked by those adults to get food, when I was fighting for food scraps to fill my stomach, and when I was beaten with other children until my teeth broke, in the cold When I hid in the corner of the ruins of the building and shivered in the dark night, when I went to receive food under the acid rain, when my skin was corroded.

I don't understand why I am alive, but I never thought of ending my life with death. I just numbly and passively endured everything that cruel fate imposed on me.

After coming to Area A, Nian Ai seemed to have come to another world, and everything she saw completely overturned her cognition.

There are tall and beautiful houses here, which will not make her worry about the hail and acid rain falling from the sky at any time, and the walls are thick enough to withstand the cold wind.

There is plenty of food here, so there is no need to line up to the supplies office every day to get a ration of food, and there is no need to fight to the death for food.The ground here is clean and tidy, and there will be no garbage or rotting corpses on the spacious and flat roads, as if even the air is sweet.

The people here have a kind of calmness that will never appear in the untouchables of District D. From their eyes, she saw that kind of calmness towards survival.

Nian Ai thinks this is heaven, where people live in heaven, and she came to heaven.

It wasn't until later that Nian Ai understood a lot of things, and realized that heaven is still heaven, but the people living in it are not humans, but demons.

After a long time, she finally put on human skin, desperately trying to gain the approval of others, but the shadow of her childhood followed her everywhere. It turned into a nightmare, dragging her into the abyss every night when people were still, eating away at her with painful memories. Spirit.

Just because he was born in Zone D, he was branded with a brand that cannot be erased for a lifetime.

Ugly, scumbags living in dirty corners, their humble existence is not worthy of being called life in the eyes of demons, they are trash that can be discarded at will, and are tools of low value.

Anyone can easily tear off her false calm camouflage and bring her back to her original shape in an instant.

Sadly, Nian Ai couldn't even ask why.

Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't left Zone D back then, she would still be the numb, suffering but unknowing garbage, would it be different in her heart than now after struggling desperately, only to find that reality is irrelevant? Is the despair of reversal better?

Unfortunately, neither heaven nor hell exists.

——You are quite sentimental, if you are so melancholy, then let your surname be Yu, Yu sad. .If it sounds sad, let's call it Yu Ai.

——Yu Ai, you have to learn to laugh, a smile is the best camouflage.

Someone once told her that.

Nian Ai, who had been sitting stiffly on the bed for a long time, raised his hand to touch his face, looked out the window at the dim dawn, skillfully showing a perfect beautiful smile on his face.

However, those empty eyes made this beauty look pale and broken.

Jiang's second in command.

As Jiang Ling's former direct subordinate, Luo Qing certainly knew this man.

Wu Shize, a powerful fire attribute user, Luo Qing had already heard of his name before he really came into Jiang Ling's sight.

The Nian family will not provide her with any assistance for this task, and Luo Qing has to face this person who used to work together alone.

Just yesterday, they were sitting together in the meeting room of Jiang Zhai. When Luo Qing was labeled as an abandoned child and decided to send it to Nian's house, this man sat motionless by Jiang Ling's right hand with an expression Solemn and indifferent.

Wu Shize's current strength has reached level 6, which is the peak of the current high-level range, and is one level higher than Luo Qing. This man has the strength to stand out from the crowd, but he is very cautious in his actions. He himself spends most of his time in Jiangzhai , No one knows where he lives, and no one knows whether he has family members or other people who have a close relationship. He hides everything tightly and is so cunning.

Living in the center of the luxurious and corrupt safety zone, this man seems to have a full sense of crisis, and it has to be said that he is indeed a smart man.

However, it was impossible for Luo Qing to go to the Jiang family's base camp to assassinate him. There were a lot of high-level supernatural beings sitting in Jiang's house, so doing that would undoubtedly be a death for nothing.

Two days passed, and Luo Qing still didn't find a chance to make a move. The agreed time was like an hourglass, and the grains of life were continuously leaking from the hole, but Luo Qing didn't feel anxious.

Like a wolf, even though it is extremely hungry, it still quietly crawls in the grass and waits for the prey to appear, focused and patient.

There will be no absolutely airtight things in this world. Even the perfect plan will have uncontrollable accidents. As long as you catch them carefully enough, you can find clues.

However, before Luo Qing could find a breakthrough, in the early morning of the third day, she received a message on her mobile phone.

The mobile phone she is using now was equipped after reaching a deal with Nian's family, and no one other than Nian's family will send her messages.

Luo Qing opened it and saw that it was not a sarcastic comment to remind her that the mission time limit was approaching, but a piece of information that was very important to her at the moment.

Wu Shize has a father who is addicted to gambling.

Luo Qing stared at the sender of this message thoughtfully, the word 'Nianai' was reflected in her eyes like ink, after a while, she put away her phone and readjusted her plan.

It can be regarded as an acceptance of Nian Ai's favor.

After 7 hours of information collection and spot checks, Luo Qing finally located a casino that Wu Shize's father suspected to frequent.

Chewing the candies bought for 5 survival points with a crackling mouth, the corners of Luo Qing's mouth were curved into a smile that was not a smile, and the wide hoodie on her head could hide her face in the shadows. She was inexplicably at ease.

The moment she walked out of the street corner, she used her power and disappeared without a trace on the bustling and noisy street in an instant.

The gorgeous and exquisite huge chandelier exudes a luxurious light, the turbid air is mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the whole casino is buzzing with people. In this era, people who don’t need to worry about their livelihood are blushing and wandering around the gaming tables Before that, they recklessly squandered the survival points that are extremely precious to many people in the safe zone.

Wu Liao didn't have many survival points at hand, and after losing all his chips, he was pushed and squeezed out, and he was very annoyed every time this happened.

The son who is high and powerful but attaches great importance to his family is the only one who is stingy with giving money to him. He has a lot of complaints about this, but he dares not to speak out, because everything in their family depends on Wu Shize. At home, his son has absolute right to speak.

It's ridiculous to say that the old Wu's family is not headed by him as the father, but by his son.

Today Wu Liao met a friend who also often came to have fun. He was very enthusiastic and generous. After playing a few cards with him, he even treated him to two glasses of high-end wine.

I didn't feel anything when I drank it, but now that I got off the gaming table, the strength of the alcohol came up, and Wu Liao felt a little fluttering. He walked with soft steps, thinking about the taste of the wine casually The taste is really beautiful.

Wu Liao's family is not short of money, but Wu Shize doesn't let him come to gamble. The survival point he used to gamble is still obtained from his wife and granddaughter. There is no such ample survival point to drink such expensive wine in the casino.

Perhaps the alcohol was at work, Wu Liao, who had always been able to swallow his anger when his son pointed fingers at him as an old man, felt aggrieved no matter how he thought about it.

He swayed to the front desk, slammed his fist on the countertop, stared at the reception lady in front of him with drunken eyes, and shouted, "Give me chips! Hurry up!!"

The reception lady has worked here for many years, what kind of guests have you never seen?With a professional smile on her face, she responded with a good temper, "Okay, this guest, how many chips do you need to change?"

"I don't have any survival points in my hands now!" Wu Liao scolded impatiently.

He has a cowardly personality and has always been aggressive in the den, but he has never done such an aggressive thing outside, so he can only force himself to act arrogant and domineering, stalking his neck and saying unruly words, "You Do you dare to control me to survive? Do you know who I am?" He pointed at himself with his thumb, wishing his nostrils were turned upside down, and said, "Even if that kid Wu Shize is here now, I still have to call me daddy!"

When he said this, he stretched out his hand and patted the table, looked at the hostess with a ferocious expression, and said, "Wu Shize, do you know who it is? He is a big shot in the Jiang family, and everyone except the head of the family has to listen to him!" He said When he said this, there was a hint of pride on his face, and he even had more confidence than before when he spoke, "If you know that you are afraid, give me chips quickly!!"

How can it be ordinary people who can squander their survival points to come to this casino for entertainment?

The reception lady twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not respond immediately. She looked up and down at the sloppy old man in front of her. She was dressed in high-end clothes, but the clothes on his thin and crooked body looked nondescript. Wu Shize The entire District A is also a very important person, so there is such a shameful father?

Thinking of this, the reception lady's eyes gradually changed when she looked at him, and her eyes gradually became more critical. Could this man be a liar who sneaked in with clothes he stole from nowhere?

Recently, the guards outside the door have become more and more perfunctory. They should really tell the manager to beat them well. The receptionist pressed the alarm without changing her face.

Wu Liao was still playing tricks at the front desk, and the receptionist coped with it with a good temper. It didn't take long for Wu Liao to be dragged out by the bodyguards who rushed over as easily as if they were dragging a big garbage bag.

"Do you know who I am?! How dare you treat me like this! Believe it or not, I asked Wu Shize to kill you guys!! I asked him to tear down this casino!!"

Wu Liao was still yelling until he was thrown out of the casino, but the bodyguard looked indifferent and turned a blind eye to his threat.

Wu Liao is not young anymore, he was thrown and couldn't get up for a while, lying on the ground for a while, the cold wind blew, and now he is sober, and his gambling addiction is gone for the time being.

He stood up with his withered body, and limped towards home.
