I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

I gave them food with good intentions, but they were considered to be poisoned. I didn't appreciate my kind words and persuasion at all, as if I was some heinous guy who didn't give them any good looks.

I don’t owe you anything! When had my boss Cheng ever been so angry?

"Tsk..."

I won’t serve these naughty kids anymore!

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

The man in front of him seemed to have finally given up. He put down his raised hand, turned around and walked into the darkness without stopping.

It wasn't until the metal sound of the manhole cover being lifted and closed was heard again not far away that the girl put away her vigilant look. She seemed to have lost strength and fell into Lina's arms as her legs softened.

"Snow...!" Lina quickly helped the fallen girl.

The girl known as Snow first arched her arms in Lina's arms, and then gritted her teeth as if enduring the pain: "Fortunately...I drove that guy away...Lina, don't let strangers go in the future." People come in, do you hear it?”

"But...Xue...you are seriously injured...you need help..." Lina looked at her companion who was getting weaker in her arms, and tears overflowed from her eyes. .

"That's not to let humans help... Lina! Humans won't... won't help us..." Xue said reluctantly intermittently, lifting up the clothes around her waist, and followed The cloth torn off the wound made him take a breath, and a round hole-shaped wound as big as a fingernail appeared in front of his eyes.

The blood flow has stopped, but the wound shows no sign of healing.

——It was a gunshot wound.

The primitive gut creatures in this world cannot use firearms.

Only humans can inflict such wounds.

"Damn it...it's actually a lead bullet with a Baogang core...it needs to be taken out as soon as possible."

"But Xue, you can't rush any longer... We are too far away from the shelter, and you can't make it in time!"

Feeling the vitality slowly flowing away from the wound, the girl called Snow raised her hand and gently picked away the tears on Lina's face.

She was also aware of her physical condition and it couldn't get any worse.

The two of them just went out to clean up the gastrea in the outer area and look for some resources to survive. Unexpectedly, they met the guys from IISO.

International Initiator Supervision Organization, referred to as IISO.

To put it nicely, they say it is a center for distributing props to the police who are promoters. At worst, it is a slave exchange that abducts the [Cursed Sons] from the outer area by various means, trains them and then sells them. .

Either brainwashing, or cruel physical examination and elimination. Whether they do not have good talents or have a high body erosion rate, they will be killed or used as human experiment materials. The companions they capture are basically very Few can have a good ending.

Even if you survive the previous hell and become a qualified starter, after being assigned to a facilitator, you will be used as a prop without hesitation, and there will be no human (harmony) rights at all.

Fight, fight, fight with monsters...

It is inevitable that he will be injured, and he will be injected with gastroenterovirus by monsters, and then the erosion rate will increase, turning him into the appearance he hates most, and in the end he will still be unable to escape a miserable death.

And what about the facilitators? They don't care at all about the idea of ​​the props being consumed. They only need to apply, and IISO will repeat the previous steps to snatch and abduct the next innocent companions from them... Finally, hand over into their hands...

repeat....

Repeat...

Repeat it day after day...

"Snow...snow!" Lina looked at her companion whose body temperature in her arms was gradually getting colder and whose eyes were gradually blurring. She could only hug her tightly and cry, but could do nothing.

"Don't die...Xue...don't..."

Suddenly, Lina stopped crying. She looked at the fried chicken legs that Cheng Rang had taken out before and rolled them twice in the mud. They were completely unappetizing.

As if holding on to her last hope, Lina carefully laid the snow in her arms flat on the ground, and then rushed towards the chicken legs on the ground.

"...Lina, what are you going to do...stop it!"

Tears had completely blurred her vision. Lina wiped her cheek hard with her dirty little hands stained with the blood of her companions. She turned back and shouted to Xue: "You want to

died! I won't let you die! "

"I...don't have as much power as Xue...and my brain is not as smart as Xue...but at least...!"

Lina grabbed the chicken leg on the ground and bit it hard, as if she was a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield, despising death, for the sake of her companions...

At least I have to seize the last hope in front of me!

Lina chewed the sour dough and soft muscles and swallowed them whole into her stomach.

——If this is IISO's method of abduction, then the poisoned food is basically a powerful anesthetic. Even with the body of the Cursed Child, it will take effect within five seconds...

If nothing happens to him after five seconds, Xue may still be saved!

"Lina! What stupid thing are you doing! Spit it out! It's enough to kill me, Lina! You idiot!!!"

"If you are caught by them, Lina, you..."

Xuehou's words were suddenly choked in her throat, and she could no longer say a single word.

Lina in front of her smiled as if she had won, but at the same time, hot tears covered her dirty cheeks again.

She grabbed the remaining bones and said to herself as if declaring victory:

"Five...five seconds have passed, Xue, the food is not poisonous...my feeling is correct! That big brother...is a good person..."

"Lina..."

Lina's figure suddenly rushed towards the dim sewer passage and disappeared from Snow's sight with unimaginable agility and speed.

You will definitely be saved! Wait for me, wait for me!

"Xue, you must wait for me to come back!"

Chapter 4 Despair and Madness

Lina followed the scent left by Cheng Rang and fled out of the shaft. Although she had a canine factor and an extremely sensitive sense of smell, it was raining outside, so the traces of the scent would soon be washed away.

So you have to move quickly. The only person who can help Xue is him!

There is only one choice, even if you risk your life, you must find him!

The vague smell information spread out in Lina's perception, leading to a distant place. She didn't dare to stop for a moment, and chased in the direction of the smell with all her strength.

Chasing hope, running for life with the scythe of death hanging above his best friend's head.

"Faster...a little faster! A little faster!"

Originally, the two of them had just tried their best to escape from IISO's pursuit and ran to a place far away from the shelter. However, this time they were chasing the big brother in a direction that was getting further and further away from the area they were familiar with and recognized. .

In her already poor condition, coupled with hunger, her physical strength disappeared from her body like water. Lina stumbled suddenly, almost tripping over a raised stone in the ruins.

If you don't catch up...if you get lost...

Lina shook her head vigorously to get rid of all the bad thoughts in her head, and took another step.

"No, you can't think about those bad things! You must catch up! Lina will definitely catch up!"

.....

However, Lina suddenly found in despair that she could not catch up to the end of the faint trace.

No matter how hard I try...how desperately I try, the end of the trail seems to be faster than myself, and I can't catch up no matter what.

"Why...can't I catch up..."

Why? He is obviously human, right? !

I was just one step too late to catch up, and I tried my best to catch up, but why did it still feel so far away?

Lina felt that her lungs had begun to tear and hurt, and her legs began to tremble and become weak involuntarily.

But she still didn't dare to stop, and she couldn't stop either.

Stopping means giving up, it means Xue...will die!

This direction leads to the huge stone monument at the border.

As if God was deliberately working against him, rolling thunder and thick dark clouds began to cover the sky above his head, and the rain suddenly became heavier.

"No...no!! Don't rain again...no..."

Just as Lina's attention was focused on the increasingly dense rain curtain, her weak feet suddenly stepped into the air and fell into the cracks in the ground. She was severely tripped and fell into the quagmire.

"ah!"

The splashed muddy water splashed all over her body, and her soaked clothes became heavier and stuck tightly to her body. Lina suddenly wanted to cry loudly in despair.

But I can't... I can't continue to cry in vain... This time, there is no snow around me to comfort myself with a reliable embrace...

The traces of breath were disappearing more quickly under the wash of rain. Lina begged loudly: "No! Don't disappear, wait a moment!"

Enduring the severe pain from her ankle, Lina gritted her teeth and pushed herself up from the ground, limping forward.

But it was too late.

Whether it was a fatal fall, a sprained ankle, or a sudden heavy rain——

"No... no..."

Lina opened her ruby-like eyes and stretched out her hand in vain in the direction where the breath disappeared completely, trying to catch something.

But nothing.

The breath, traces, everything was washed away by the rain and disappeared before her eyes. Lina stood blankly in the rain curtain, but still moved in vain and without knowing the direction.

I failed...I didn't catch up with my last hope. Even when I looked around, I saw an environment I didn't recognize.

He couldn't go back the way he came. Both his body and the condition of the snow were in extremely bad condition.

Gu Zhi——

Lina opened her eyes suddenly and let the cold rain fall in, her whole body trembling with despair.

She turned back stiffly and looked at a huge centipede-like creature that emerged from under the stone slabs of the ruins.

.....Gastrentera...

But at this time...why?

Why is there only such unfair treatment and despair in our world?

"Why...why?" Lina choked and stood there, her last tears running warmly across her cheeks, mixing with the rain hitting her face, no longer distinguishable from each other.

This approaching gastrea was only in its first stage, and it was not a difficult enemy in front of Xue or himself.

But in my current state...Xue is still waiting for me to go back...

Forget it, abandon these despairs that have become greater despair, and finally kill another monster.

"I'm so unwilling, Lina, I'm so unwilling!"

It is because of these monsters...these monster viruses that I was ruthlessly abandoned by my parents!

What did we do wrong?

Lina once asked this question to her grandfather who took her in in the outer area countless times, but she never got an answer every time.

"What on earth did we do wrong?"

Lina's scarlet eyes shone like gems in the gloomy rain. She roared angrily and raised her fist to hit the attacking monster.

He has been hated by everyone since he was born..

Snapped!

being abandoned....

Snapped!

Being used as a tool....

Snapped!

be killed....

Snapped!

Fighting monsters, to protect...the humans who pushed us to this point...and then turning into monsters....

to be killed again....

Snapped! !
