Crow's Paradise

"Stone" doesn't like this title.

There are more than ten people named "Stone" in this homeless street.

But there is no good title, and even if there is one, it is useless.

He was called a stone only when others called him a stone.

If he were the only one, no one would use this name, so he would have no name and would be a nameless person.

Moreover, he has no choice.

He is just a scavenger.

But, speaking of which, he encountered a strange thing recently when he was scavenging.

While thinking about it, he rummaged through the piles of waste that had been transported from the city, trying to find waste that could be sent to the center of the homeless street in exchange for some better food.

However, at this moment, he seemed to hear a sound like flapping wings.

Shitou turned around and looked, but felt nothing.

I just don't know why, I feel a little groggy.

He shook his head, and the groggy feeling quickly disappeared.

Is it because you ate too little?

Shitou couldn't help but sigh. Compared with other scavengers, his ability to find things was very poor.

However, at this moment, he suddenly lowered his head, squatted down, and hid in the pile of waste piled up by various metal and wooden products.

In the direction he was looking just now, several tall or short men were walking towards his refugee hut.

Thinking of what might happen, Shitou couldn't help but look a little ugly.

When he was scavenging in another place, he saw a shiny thing.

At that moment, someone approached.

He wanted to warn them, but was ignored and chased away on suspicion of trying to rob something.

If he hadn't walked so fast, he would probably have been beaten.

The person who took that thing lived not far from his refugee hut, which was only two refugee huts away.

Lifting his head secretly, Shi Shi tried to observe those people without being exposed.

He never thought about fighting with those few people. Even if he was really robbed, those people would just rob him. With so many people, he couldn't resist, and he didn't have the ability to resist.

I can only say that he is too cautious, right?

There was a notice from the Yan people in Yancheng before, saying that in the wilderness around this time, monsters called "missing bodies" will be very active. Not only can you not go to the wilderness to scavenge, you must also be careful of the missing bodies in the wilderness running into the homeless streets, so that All the scavengers immediately reported the abnormal situation to those in the center of the homeless street.

He remembers it very clearly, so whenever he encounters something wrong, he immediately stays away.

Because he always did this, he never encountered danger. He was picked up by other scavengers many times. Such a situation made another scavenger who originally searched for usable waste with him give up working with him. Act together.

It's a pity. Although that guy is not very observant, he knows a lot of places that can easily be missed. It's very difficult to find another scavenger who won't find out that he's secretly hiding things, and even if he finds out, he can't beat him.

But it doesn't matter. Since he won't act with him, there is no need to keep him. He can just find an opportunity to kill him later.

Stone does not intend to leave itself a competitor.

This area is already narrow enough. He can't pick up much by himself, and then there are others to fight for it.

He didn't want to go scavenging in the wilderness.

Speaking of this

Shitou's eyes were fixed on those people.

At least, this time, he was sure.

There's something wrong with the thing I didn't pick up last time.

This time, it wasn't because he was overly vigilant that he couldn't get it, but because it might be really dangerous and he didn't dare to get it.

After all, he remembered that the thing that looked like a statue was glowing.

It clearly doesn't look like something that can shine.

Seeing it glowing, the stone was a little scared, so he didn't dare to take it.

I don’t know if there will be any problems with those people.

Probing his head again, Shitou paid attention to the movements of the group of scavengers who came here for unknown reasons.

However, for some reason, he felt a little groggy again.

Shaking his head, Shitou looked ahead in a daze, as if he saw a bridge of light.

Night has completely fallen, and the gray moonlight shines on the ground, falling on the haphazardly built waste, casting dense shadows on the sides.

There is no lighting equipment in the homeless street.

At night, the homeless streets are dark.

There is no other source of light except moonlight.

The few people who were peeped by Shi Shi followed the shadowy road under the moonlight and walked towards the hut where Shi Shi lived.

As they walked, they talked in low voices:

"Why is that vulture guy so interested in what we grabbed from the stone? And he asked us to grab the stone for questioning?"

"How would I know."

The person who answered had bloodshot eyes. I don’t know if it was because he hadn’t slept well in a few days or for some other reason. He bared his teeth and made a hateful low voice:

"It's probably because the value of that thing is very high."

"I think so too."

After the two tall men finished speaking, a short and stocky man next to them quickly answered:

"Which of the things we got before would be so interesting to vultures?"

"I heard from the people in the New Humanity Cult that the Yan people have been collecting something, and there are special refugees in the homeless street who collect for them. I think the people who work for the Yan people are probably vultures."

"Good guy, that idiot Shitou really discovered something good."

The last person said bitterly:

"Before you take him here, you have to question him and ask him to tell you where these things are."

"Yep"

In agreement, several people walked towards the stone refugee hut.

During the conversation, there seemed to be no discussion at all about whether the stone could escape. It was as if the stone could not escape from their hands, and it was already a fish in the middle.

In fact, they also feel this way. In this refugee area, they have an iron hand. No refugee can beat them, and no refugee can resist them.

Either stay here and be harvested by them, or leave this refugee area.

They soon came to the refugee hut where Shi Shi lived.

One of the tall men came to the door made of several boards and kicked it hard, breaking the door into pieces:

"Come out! Stone!"

When the door was kicked open, a smell that was shared by several people came out.

There was no response, and they gestured to each other. Finally, two short and stocky men walked in.

However, one of the two tall men standing guard outside the door to prevent the stone from escaping glanced back.

A familiar shadow came into view.

"Stone? Good guy, you still want to escape? Come here quickly."

The tall man reached out and grabbed it.

Compared to the opponent's stature, which was as short as a boy's, the thick palms had unquestionable suppressive power.
