Above the Ruins [End Times]

The woman who had grown a body of fat due to life squatted down with agility that did not match her body, and her long nails painted with red Danko pinched the little boy's chin, forcing him to raise his head.The long nails even dug into the little boy's flesh, and blood immediately seeped out.A look of surprise flashed in the fat woman's eyes.

The little boy stared straight at the woman with his dark eyes, his brows were furrowed from the pain caused by the corrosion of the mutated beast's saliva, but he bit his lower lip and said nothing.

"Little thing, give me the baby in your arms, and I will let you go, and I can even raise you, how about it?" Relying on this child's face, these eyes, are enough to bring her a lot of love. It would be a pity if this child was obediently killed by her family.

"Bah!" Spit out a mouthful of bloody spittle, and the little boy turned his head away.

After being refuted, the fat woman had an ugly look on her face, her thick fingers forcibly turned the little boy's head, and pulled his hair: "You should think about it, I can give you food and a warm place to live! Don't toast, don't eat, eat fine wine!"

"Go to hell, ugly woman, old woman, fat woman, perverted, disgusting guy..." These words seemed to have poked the little boy's sore foot, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes, and his tone was very intense.

"You!" The fat woman's face twisted violently. She couldn't bear being said like this, let alone this fat woman who relied on her younger brother to be a capable person and was always superior to these ordinary people in her life. .The fat on her face was shaking, and the muscles on her face were huddled together, "You'd better die, you brat! Obediently, bite him!"

The fat woman stood up angrily and stood aside with her arms folded.The brown-yellow mutated dog got the master's order. It wanted to bite it for a long time, and it no longer restrained itself, and stretched out its long fangs.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The severe pain made the little boy's body stiff and let out a mournful cry from his mouth.Cold sweat rolled down the tip of the nose, and the black pupils contracted because of the pain and almost lost focus, but the little boy's body was still curled up, protecting the baby.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the scorched smell of corroded flesh spread.

Seeing the little boy's delicate face wrinkle together due to the pain, the fat woman showed a happy smile on her face.Even in this case, the beautiful child did not become ugly because of the distorted expression, but the blood stain and painful expression aroused people's desire to destroy even more.

Unlike people who live numbly, people who live unexpectedly no longer hide their desires.Instead, there is a higher pursuit.

"Google, eh?" The little baby seemed to feel the little boy's pain. He stretched out his hands to block himself and protect his warm body. His clear royal blue eyes were full of ignorance, and he felt the little boy's wailing. Discomfort, but he still doesn't understand what it means, there is no concept in his little head.

The sound of chewing was mixed with the excited growl of the mutant dog and the painful panting of the little boy. The evening sky was gloomy and terrifying. In the darkness, the sharp canine teeth stretched towards the little boy's bloody shoulders again.

Finally, when the mutant dog's teeth were already embedded in the wound on the little boy's shoulder, the little baby who couldn't push the little boy away to protect his body finally cried out.

"Wow-"

The childish voice seemed to tear apart the world.

Before the little boy completely lost consciousness, a vague shadow flashed in front of his eyes.

【04. Sell】

"Uh uh..." When he opened his eyes with difficulty, the little boy still felt his headache was about to split.Mu stared blankly at the dark and dilapidated roof, and it took him a long while to regain his wandering thoughts.There was still a faint pain on the shoulder, and he stretched out his hand to touch it, but it was already bandaged.

The little boy sat up suddenly from the bed made of straw, but fell down again because of the pain.Hissing and panting, the little boy's dark eyes were stained with anxiety. He turned his head to look around, and he was relieved when he saw the little baby lying beside him.

The little baby looked tired, biting his fingers and sleeping soundly.

The little boy pressed his temple, thinking about who saved him, but he didn't have the slightest idea.Subconsciously touched the snow-white bandage on his shoulder, the little boy's eyes sank.

Who... who saved him...

The person who drove away the fat woman and the mutant beast that was biting his flesh... Who the hell?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of the result, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he had nothing else to plot against other than his face, and he had nothing to lose except his dignity.

And the place where he is now is the hut where he lives, built in the slums of the most squalid and dilapidated part of the city, a house that will not fall down.

"I'm so thirsty..." The little boy licked his chapped lips, trying his best to ignore the pain in his shoulder.He pushed aside the thick straw and took out a worn enamel bowl from the place covered by the straw.

The top of the enamel bowl was covered with a layer of paper, and when it was lifted off, half of the bottom of the bowl was covered with a layer of gray and black residue of water.

The water in the bowl is much clearer after being deposited, even if it is not clear, there is nothing to do.This bowl of water was collected by the little boy when it was raining. In this second civilization, even the rainwater is mixed with a lot of dust and residues. Even after sedimentation, it is still similar to scum, but the little boy can’t control that much. up.

Only people with supernatural powers, and only people with supernatural powers are eligible to obtain clean water that has been purified by the water purification system.

Water and food are the most important resources in Second Civilization. The little boy's shoulder was injured, and he was afraid that the water would be spilled because he couldn't hold the bowl firmly, so he simply lay on the ground, sticking out his white His tongue coating licked the water in the bowl with small mouthfuls.The little boy's eyelids drooped, and he couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly.

He cherished a few sips of water, and the small amount of water didn't even make his chapped lips moist.

After taking out the paper and intending to reseal the bowl, the little boy paused as his gaze swept over the baby, looking at the rainwater in the bowl, and finally dipped his fingers into it, with slightly wet fingers that had grown from the baby. lips slipped.

The little baby smacked his lips, and when the little boy's fingers were pulled away, two little hands grabbed the little boy's fingers to prevent him from leaving.He made a sound like a kitten purring, rubbed the little boy's fingers, and then hugged it and stopped moving.

"..." Gently pulling out his fingers, the little boy's dark eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind.

The little boy was not sure how long he had slept. It should have been completely dark, but the sky was gray. In Second Civilization, the only difference between early morning and evening is that one is dark and gloomy, while the other is gray and gloomy. weather.

After resting for a few minutes, he put on an obviously ill-fitting shabby coat to cover up the snow-white bandages on his shoulders, found a broken dagger hidden by him from the straw pile and stuffed it into his arms. The little boy picked up the baby .Walk towards the center of the city.

In the very center of the city is the tallest, most luxurious and exquisite building in the city. It is the place where the order builder of the second civilization and the branch of the city where the ability is located.

The left leg still hurts when walking. The little boy pursed his lips and walked very slowly, but also very steadily. The little baby was not woken up by being shaken in his arms.

Not long after, the little boy stood at the gate of the Ability Institute.He stood here for a long time, so long that his legs and feet were numb.Taking a deep breath, the little boy still walked towards the power institute step by step.

Babies cannot be fed with rainwater and dirty water. The substances contained in those waters will cause the baby to die or even mutate.And the lack of food also means that a baby cannot be raised by ordinary people.

The little boy can't afford to raise this child, so he can only hope that the baby has supernatural powers. No matter what kind of supernatural power it is, as long as it is not so weak, it can become the capital to join the supernatural power institute.

After joining the Ability Institute, even if it is for the possible combat power of the baby when it grows up, the people in the Ability Institute will distribute some food and clean water to raise the child.

The Ability Institute has a flat floor that is different from most residential buildings. It was early morning at this time, and there was no one in the Ability Institute.

Directly opposite the gate is a service desk.Behind the service desk was a boy in a black-and-white-striped uniform and a woman in a black-and-white uniform.The little boy bit his lower lip and slowly moved over.

The boy who was talking to the woman in black looked at the little boy unconsciously, and then a little joy flashed in his eyes: "Lengmo, have you finally figured it out? I can provide food and water for you." You."

The little boy—Leng Mo, did not respond to the boy's words, but walked up to the woman, and raised the ignorant little baby forward: "How many breads can this child exchange for?"

The woman took the little baby Gululu who was rolling its eyes, and took out a strangely shaped instrument to measure.

"Hey, Lengmo, Lengmo! Where did this clean baby come from? How about raising it with me—"

"Shut up, pedophile." The words spit out without emotion.Leng Mo's eyes were extremely cold.Although this young man is a supernatural being, Leng Mo is not afraid of him.edge ink
