Barrier of Light

E0 area.

"Lord He Chan, that's all for today."

He Chan frowned and looked at the crooked melons and cracked dates in front of him. These children who grew up in the quagmire of Sangzhou Cave were all as skinny as wood and looked bad... In addition, their awakening talents were also average.

"One is B grade, the others are all C grade..."

He walked past these children expressionlessly and said coldly: "Even if this kind of stuff is sent to the angels, they won't be looked upon..."

Except for the first day, the abilities of the extraordinary beings discovered were pretty good.

There are fewer and fewer behind.

Lord Suzaku Divine Envoy ordered that only the "extremists" who defected to the Nanzhou Church be killed.

As for the "residents" in this main urban area, it is best not to kill them indiscriminately.

It's not that you can't kill him, life is precious.

It's just that for this mission to the south, the four divine envoys have to choose a "Lord of Fire". The tasks issued by Mr. Tianshui must be completed first... The Tower of Source is actually not short of people, but I don't know what Mr. Tianshui thinks. Yes, we have to find a few "tall people" in this refugee settlement. The task is passed down from level to level.

Although there are only five cities in the city, it is impossible for the Suzaku Divine Envoy to check them personally.

Even if this kind of door-to-door investigation and arrangement work is handed over, He Chan will not implement it personally... He can only let the four subordinates work hard for a few days to submit a satisfactory answer to the superiors.

"I'm going to tell the Lord God Envoy that the time limit for this mission will be extended by three days."

He Chan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Go to the back of Area E0 and search the whole area as much as possible. If the best ones are only Class B, there is nothing you can do. I will take them all there at once."

The four extraordinary men took the order and left.

"You...come with me."

He Chan glanced at these dirty children. The B-level one was quite talented. He was taken away alone, and the rest were just some "defective products". He did not directly kill these children on the spot...but gave them a simple shelter.

certainly.

He did all this not because he was "kind".

When the Huazhi delegation came to the Rhine for negotiations... he engaged in the business of "trafficking corpses", which was enough to prove one point.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, he has no bottom line.

Although these children are only C-level, they are still valuable.

Lord Suzaku doesn't like him...but that doesn't mean others don't like him.

…

…

The medium-sized living area of ​​Sangzhou Cave generally includes several small living areas. In the early years, in order to facilitate the church's land planning and the collection of believers... residents did not need large houses.

Viewed from a high altitude, the square blocks of land look like cages.

And these aborigines are beasts kept in cages.

And among the residents of Sangzhou Cave who survive in such a cruel and harsh environment... there are actually even worse sufferers, namely the "homeless" orphans and wanderers.

Before the awakening experiment, the church's fight led to the death of a large number of people.

Many poor children lost their parents. Some of them starved to death in their infancy, while others grew up tenaciously and picked up some leftover food in the garbage... Three years ago, they could still travel between the inner ring city areas. Wandering, relying on "diligence" to fill one's stomach, and after the awakening experiment is started, the city barrier is closed, and if one wanders out again, he may become food for extraordinary beings.

Most homeless people choose to stay in local urban areas and hide in dark corners.

They are lower class than common people.

In the night, in the garbage dump on the back street of E0 District, several dark little guys were rummaging through the garbage pile for dinner... The gang of church scum that had ruled E0 District for three years had just been overthrown, although the newly stationed Yuan The guys from the Tower are not good people, but at least they don't suppress civilians like the church extremists. They can even be considered "spending generously". There are a lot of good things in this garbage dump.

To survive in a place like this, even "wanderers" need to fight tooth and nail to compete.

There are good things in places like garbage mountains.

It's so late that I can't even eat the scraps hot!

Four skinny, dark figures were rummaging around like this. It was obvious that they had their own "division of labor"... This garbage mountain was divided into four areas, with one person on each side, so that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.

Under the moonlight.

A skinny girl dug out a large bag of garbage from the garbage mountain. The soup and water were mixed together. Her years of experience in rummaging through the garbage mountain told her that the bag was mostly fermented and rotten swill. She frowned. I wanted to throw it away, but I glanced at it one more time.

The girl opened the tied mouth of the bag and quickly took out a bulging piece of wrinkled paper bag. You could feel the heat through the bag. Inside, there was a piece of hard bread that was thrown away after one bite.

"Hiss."

She remained calm and quickly stuffed the bread and paper bag into her trouser pocket, but this scene was still discovered.

The boy who was very close to the side saw the girl take out something and stuff it into her pocket.

There was nothing to gain from the garbage mountain today. He had been hungry all day...

The young man came over and lowered his voice first: "Stop hiding, I saw it."

"..."

The girl remained expressionless and continued to rummage through the garbage.

"It's bread...right?"

The boy continued to lower his voice, and at the same time glanced at the opposite side with vigilance. The two idiots on the other side of the garbage mountain were still rummaging... There are more than a dozen garbage mountains in the E0 area for homeless people like them to rummage every day, but they are older. Adults, they are no match, and being able to have such a remote fixed location is enough to satisfy them.

This is not the first time that the boy and this girl have met. Although they don't know her name yet, it doesn't matter.

To reach out for something, you don’t need to know the name.

"Give me a portion of the bread, and I can pretend you didn't see it."

The young man was extremely hungry. He looked at the girl coldly and said in a hoarse voice, "Otherwise I will call them over, and you won't be able to stay at all."

The two people opposite the garbage mountain were obviously taller than them.

The girl stopped rummaging.

She straightened her back, stepped on the filthy hill, and looked at the young man in front of her indifferently.

They are all orphans wandering among the ruins.

They are all garbage living in the garbage dump.

In order to survive, they will do whatever it takes, regardless of the consequences... If they want to survive in the garbage dump of Sangzhou Cave, they must be ruthless, ruthless to themselves and even ruthless to their enemies!

The young man looked at each other and suddenly panicked. He didn't want to shout at first, but the girl's eyes made him feel scared. With his mind blank, he pretended to be more fierce and powerful, and at the same time shouted in a hoarse voice:

"……Hello!"

The garbage mountain was silent.

The two teenagers opposite were also attracted.

From the moment you shouted your first voice, you were destined to be unable to stop.

The boy who spoke first gritted his teeth and took two steps back, "This bitch picked up the bread, I saw it."

The two taller boys looked closer to ten years old.

They came over slowly.

"...bastard."

Because I don’t know the name, I can only call it that.

"Hand it over."

The final conversation was actually very simple.

Three words, concise and comprehensive.

The girl still has the same expression as before, from one to three, it has never changed. She looked coldly at the three teenagers who were a head taller than herself, with one hand tightly pressed against her trouser pocket, where there was a slight sound of paper bags rubbing together.

"Snapped!"

The tallest boy would give him a slap in the face if he waved his hand away.

The awakening experiment began, and every life in Sangzhou Cave had a change in the spiritual sea... Although they were undernourished and stunted, the local children could be regarded as "powerful people" after all. This slap actually set off a roaring sound. .

However... this slap did not hit!

The girl leaned over very quickly. She was already short. The moment the wind blew up, she squatted down and used her hands and feet to get out from under the crotch of the tall boy who slapped him. For a person who needed to be in the garbage mountain It is not a shameful thing for an orphan to survive by picking up things.

But she wasn't trying to escape.

After getting out of her crotch like a slippery loach, the girl exerted force with her hands, stood up suddenly, found the right position, and hit her head heavily on the chin of the boy who had previously reported the crime.

"Bang!"

The latter's vision went dark, and he was hit to the ground with stars in his eyes. He sat back and slid down the mountain of garbage.

Then the girl turned around and kicked the other boy hard in the crotch. The latter suddenly turned pale, his legs were bent, and he fell to his knees. After these things happened, the biggest boy also came back to his senses. Come on, he turned around and looked at this scene with a stunned expression. He never expected that this little girl who looked so weak would dare to attack the three of them!

next moment.

He looked fierce and punched the girl in the chest.

"boom!"

In battles on the garbage mountain, numbers often win. From the moment one versus three, the outcome of this battle is actually doomed.

A muffled sound!

The girl's face turned pale and her breathing was stagnant.

She was knocked to the ground by this extremely powerful punch, and was thrown down uncontrollably and fell more than ten meters.

The boy who was knocked to the ground by her headbutt happened to be not far away. When he heard the sound, he immediately endured the severe pain and rushed forward ferociously. He sat on the girl and slapped her face twice...

"Pah! Pah!"

After the two slaps, the girl's cheeks instantly became red and swollen. She gritted her teeth and burst out with great strength in an instant, flipping the boy over and riding on the latter in the same posture, ready to return the previous two slaps intact. .

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to fight out. The tall boy on the garbage had already rushed down and knocked her over. This time there was no room to turn the situation around. The moment her body lost balance, she curled up her torso and protected her cheeks with her hands.

The crackling fists and feet were like raindrops.

Fall on the body.

She was beaten like this for about ten minutes.

"...bastard!"

"...Bad bones!"

The angry curses continued like this for more than ten minutes.

Because I don’t know the name, my vocabulary is also lacking.

Back and forth, these are the few words in the girl's ears...

At first it was just two people, but later the boy on the mountain who was kicked out initially recovered, so he walked tremblingly down the garbage mountain and joined the siege.

It's just that this girl really resisted the beating. She looked thin and small, but her skin and flesh were solid. She beat her for more than ten minutes and refused to make a sound. On the contrary, the three people who did it were exhausted.

The tall boy leaned down and pulled out the tattered paper bag from her trouser pocket.

next moment.

His expression suddenly turned gloomy... He exerted force with his fingers and saw that the tattered paper bag, which the girl regarded as a treasure, was grasped bit by bit in his palm. There was nothing in the bag.

The tall young man stared coldly at the young man who initially reported the matter.

"Hiss-"

He slowly tore off the paper bag.

Hungry all day.

He also got into a fight with such a stubborn person who was desperate for his life, resulting in a lot of trouble on his body... but in the end, he got nothing, and all his work was in vain!

The informant boy looked at the crumpled paper bag, stunned, with disbelief written all over his face.

Nothing in the bag?

In fact, he didn't see it clearly at first. It was because of the girl's attitude and subsequent reaction that he was convinced that the girl had picked up something good.

"There's nothing, why the hell are you fighting for your life?"

The expression on the face of the informing boy became angry, and he kicked the girl who was curled up on the ground hard. He only heard a hoarse, low, teasing laugh...

The girl who was curled up on the ground was kicked hard and looked filthy and miserable.

But there was a smile on her face.

She looked at the boy with a look that looked like an idiot.

Soon... what just happened happened again, but instead of three against one, it was two against one. The tall boy and another person beat the informer.

After the beating, he spat hard again, then changed places and walked away.

In their view.

This boy is even more disgusting than a stubborn girl.

When it was all over, the girl got up with difficulty. Her skin was bruised and bruised, but it was nothing. She had long been used to being beaten...

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

She sat on the boy who was beaten unable to move, raised her palms high, and returned the first two slaps intact.

The boy's ability to withstand beatings was obviously not as good as hers.

After receiving this beating, he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger and move. He could only watch the girl climb up the garbage mountain again, and then reopen the bag of swill from the bag of soup and water. Mouth, take away the piece of bread that was stuffed back.

Bread will be unpalatable if it is soaked in slop.

But it's also food.

…

…

The night is about to burn out, and the dawn shines on the streets.

For the civilians of Sangzhou Cave, there is no hope here.

yes……

Even this sky is false.

Where is the dawn, where is the hope?

The girl stumbled down the street. Behind her was the tide pushed by the dawn, but she walked towards the dark and dark abandoned streets.

She was holding the piece of bread in her arms, and the spoiled parts that were soaked around it had been eaten by her.

Only in this way can she have the strength to "go home".

The girl kept the best piece and put it in her pocket. She walked around in this abandoned alley. It was complicated. Finally, she came to the corner of a dilapidated alley. She didn't rush in. Instead, she squatted on the ground, looked at her appearance in the puddle, shoveled the mud on the soles of her shoes, and wiped her cheeks. She wanted to wipe away all the dirt on her body...

But she didn't know that some things couldn't be erased.

The injuries on her body, the dust on her clothes, and the sadness of living in this miserable world.

After doing all this, the girl's cold little face was no longer tense.

She took a deep breath into the puddle and forced a smile.

It turns out she doesn't know how to laugh.

Just laughing is something...precious.

She wants to leave it to someone important.

The girl turned into the end of a dilapidated and deserted alley.
