Above the Ruins [End Times]

Don't be afraid of this person.Just disgusted.

"Pedophile or something—how can it be—and my name is Zayu, it's Zayu." The boy named Zayu reached out to touch Lengmo's shoulder, but he avoided it.

Leng Mo watched the woman in black measuring various data of the baby, without speaking.

"I just want to heal you..." Za Yu pursed his mouth, "Is your shoulder hurt? I can see it, it's so stiff. There's something wrong with your leg too, right? Does it hurt? And your stomach must be I'm hungry, my lips are dry and cracked, and I'm in a really bad state... I don't mean any harm, don't you know that?"

Indeed, Za Yu is not malicious.It's just that he has a purpose.

"I don't need your treatment." The immature child-like Leng Mo is much shorter than the young Za Yu, if he is held in Za Yu's arms, he can only barely reach the bottom of the other's chest, thin and And slender.Also because of this, she looks much younger than her actual age.

At this moment, Leng Mo was raising his head, his dark eyes looked at him calmly, "I don't need it."

Lengmo doesn't need help from others, the baby's business is exchange.The woman whose name he did not know offered bread and sweets in exchange for delivering the little baby to him.

He knew that the woman must have a reason to do this.Maybe some kind of fight.But, whatever it was, it turned out that Lengmo had the food and a baby that saved his dying life.

A life for a life.

But Zayu is different.This guy approached him with a purpose, even though he was no longer worth approaching.

"Leng Mo!" Za Yu was angry, half bent down, brown eyes looked into the black pupils, "I watched you grow up anyway! Five years! You hate me so much?"

"Yeah." Simply and neatly.

"You!" Za Yu was angry.

Ignoring the dull Za Yu, Leng Mo looked at the woman standing in front of him with a smile.In fact, Leng Mo also knew this woman. A year ago, Leng Mo often came here with his adoptive father and received tasks in this power institute in exchange for food, or a little help.

"This child's physical condition is very good, and his talent in terms of abilities is also very good, but because it's just a baby, it takes a lot of resources to raise him, so it's worth four loaves." The woman in black explained to Leng Mo "However, because it's just a baby, I can get an extra piece of bread as compensation."

Babies are very plastic.Children who have been raised since childhood will also have a greater sense of belonging to the power station than children who have been picked up halfway.

"Are you really going to exchange this child for noodles?" Although she knew the answer without thinking, she still confirmed it.

Ling Mo nodded slightly.The little baby didn't know anything yet, and was pursing his mouth, his beautiful big eyes sparkled when he saw the ink, and he stretched out his hand to beg for a hug.

Leng Mo turned his head away from looking at the baby, and exhaled, "Can you give me the bread?"

There was a dull pain in the injured shoulder and leg, and his stomach was rumbling about his hunger, and Lengmo, who was a little embarrassed, lowered his head slightly.

Such a small piece of bread was still shared with the baby. During the period, he also experienced such things as running wildly with the baby and being bitten by the mutant beast.To be honest, Ling Mo didn't even know how he brought this little baby to the Ability Institute.Ling Mo was already hungry.

Yes, it must be due to the craving for food, there must be nothing wrong with it.

The woman in black looked at Lengmo as if she were looking at her own child, and finally sighed, and said softly: "I see. Now that it's been decided, this child belongs to the supernatural institute."

While beckoning Za Yu to pick up the bread, she took out a piece of paper with densely packed small characters from the drawer of the service desk, and handed a quill to Lengmo: "Write your name and sign this exchange." Contract. Then, this child will completely become something owned by the ability. You will also get five breads that belong to the exchange condition."

"……OK."

Taking the paper and quill, Lengmo recalled the time when his adoptive father taught him to write his own name.

That man once said that even if you are a person in the second civilization, even if you can't have the luxury of "learning" like people in the previous civilization, you must not forget how to write and pronounce your name.

The name is almost the only thing that the people in the Second Civilization who have nothing have completely.

【05. Rest】

The speed at which Za Yu fetched the bread was not very slow, but when he handed the treasured bread wrapped in waste paper to Leng Mo, he seemed somewhat displeased.

Although there is no shortage of these foods in the power institute, Za Yu is not happy to just let Leng Mo take the food and leave. I don't know how long it will be before he takes the food and leaves before stepping into the power institute. .And Za Yu's ability can't support him to find the place where Leng Mo lives.

Za Yu's outstretched hand grabbed five pieces of bread that could be seen to be hard and shrunken even though it was wrapped. When Leng Mo raised his hand to grab it, he was a little weak, almost pulling the bread into his hand inside.Without saying a word, he pursed his lips and stared at Za Yu stubbornly. Ling Mo immediately lowered his head and carefully carried the bread close to his body.

"Lengmo, you really just traded that baby for bread..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Za Yu interrupted.

Leng Mo walked up to the little baby who was placed on the service desk. Fortunately, the service desk was not high, and Leng Mo's eyes could easily be at the same level as the little baby.

"Gu, heh...?" Blinking his big eyes, the little baby tilted his head in a daze.

Leng Mo looked at the little baby for a long time, but did nothing until the little baby raised his little hand to pull his hair.Leng Mo took a step back, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth without making any sound.

Finally, he glanced at the woman in black who was watching his actions and Za Yu who was hesitant to speak, and the hardened Leng Mo stopped focusing on the little baby, turned around and left.

"Woo? Coo, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Sensing that the familiar breath was about to leave, the giggling baby shrunk his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and began to cry, waving his hands wildly wanting to Go grab the ink-colored clothes.

Hearing the cry of the baby and the comfort of the woman in black, Leng Mo's footsteps paused, and then quickened his pace.

It was he who wanted to exchange this child for food with the power house, so he would not regret it anymore.Here, the child will receive better care, and the child will receive more resources if he is talented.

And he, Lu Mo...maybe he will die anywhere casually.

Leng Mo shook his head regretfully, probably he will never see such a pair of beautiful eyes again.

Such clear and transparent eyes were exactly like the color of the cufflinks of a supernatural being he had seen hiding in the corner.If there are no thick clouds in the sky, and the sky is not always gray-green, is it also the same color?

Ling Mo had no choice but to think about it.

so beautiful...

The color of the sky that I look up to every day, and seeing the blue sky bathed by the people of the First Civilization, is almost an obsession engraved in my bones.

After leaving the door of the power institute, Leng Mo buried his head deeply.Although there are still five precious breads in his arms, they are not very obvious under the cover of the worn-out coat, and Leng Mo also looks dejected after being rejected by the supernatural power.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to reveal the clues.

Even in a supernatural powerhouse where food and drink are not a problem, food is a very important resource.The lack of food has created a fierce personality of ordinary people who are inferior to capable people.

If it was discovered that Leng Mo had exchanged a baby for food, the consequences would be disastrous.Not to mention that Leng Mo's shoulder and leg were injured, and he couldn't beat the predators at all. Those ordinary people in the Second Civilization were almost all guys who would do anything to fight for the food that survived.

Fortunately, there was no one on the way when Leng Mo brought his little baby to the Ability Institute, and no one would notice him.So as long as he can return to his residence safely, then what Leng Mo is worried about is not a problem, and the food is equivalent to keeping half of it.

Of course, the safest way is to swallow all the food in the stomach.

Not long after walking, Leng Mo staggered and almost fell to his knees on the ground with his legs limp.Leng Mo felt a little dizzy in his head, and it was difficult to breathe as if he was being strangled.

Shaking his head vigorously, Leng Mo wanted to get rid of the sudden dizziness and deep fatigue.His dark eyes showed a look of alertness when he saw someone walking towards him, and his feet, which were moving and fixed in place as if they had taken root for some time, stepped aside.

When the person passed by, Leng Mo gritted his teeth and raised his legs to continue moving forward.

"Huh..." Leng Mo's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally he was almost shuffling.The heaviness and stagnation of his body made him realize something was wrong, but Leng Mo didn't even know what happened to him.

The drowsy brain was so disturbed that he couldn't think about his situation properly. The only thought of the little boy was to protect the baby in his arms... No, food, food that was enough to save his life.

Everything else is fine, he wants to live, and only by living can he be qualified to talk about other things.

The shoulder that was bitten by the mutant dog was aching, and the throbbing pain seemed to be pulled by someone.
