Unfathomable Doomsday - 214. Chapter 214
Under the prosperous surface of the glorious city, in an unremarkable alley, a pair of extremely cold eyes stared at the street.
From that day on, the day when darkness enveloped the world, there was a heavy snowfall that almost made it impossible for people to see the road ahead. The snow had fallen for three days.
The entire glorious city was buried by heavy snow, and similarly, the cold that pierced the soul was permeating this world.
Will die…
The dark figure curled up in the alley hugged his ragged clothes, which was his only comfort in the heavy snow.
His cold eyes watched the people waiting in line to buy food in the distance, and his eyes flashed with desire.
In the past, maybe he could survive in this bustling city by stealing and some small tricks, but today he can’t.
At least, he couldn’t afford a meal equivalent to gold.
Now one steamed bun can be exchanged for one gold coin. If it was in the past, it would not be a problem to buy thousands of dry steamed buns with one gold coin.
But among the rumors in the streets and lanes, the moment the demons invaded this world, humans were imprisoned in this glorious city, and stepping into the wild is no different from death.
But is it not perilous in the city?
He stared coldly at a young man of his age in the crowd, probably a child of a rich merchant, and exchanged a bag of gold coins for some food to fill his stomach…
As a rich man, I am completely unaware of how dangerous he is.
There are no adults around…it really was another corpse in the gutter.
He curled up in the shadow of the alley and made up his mind, holding the rusty dagger in his hand, unable to resist the temptation of food, when he was about to stand up.
“What are you going to do?” The young man who seemed to show off how wealthy he was to the commoners, was suddenly surrounded by a group of ragged but terrifying big men.
Seeing this situation, everyone around chose to ignore it, and no one wanted to be the first bird…
The prey…is being watched by others, and he unwillingly watched the young man who was dragged into the alley by the big guys.
The power that was ready to go, fell heavily to the ground at the last moment.
Hunger and cold made him almost collapse…
This is more uncomfortable than ever, the feeling of being frozen in the soul is not at all uncomfortable, and the consciousness gradually begins to blur.
Until, the smell of food broke into his sense of smell.
food? He suddenly widened his confused eyes, and raised his head to find that there was a white-flowered bun in front of him, exuding its alluring fragrance wantonly.
But as a rat in the sewer, he didn’t jump on him immediately, but raised his head and looked at the person holding the bun…
So pretty… he opened his mouth and stayed there.
For him, who hadn’t even read a book for a day, he basically described people with just a few words.
But the man in front of him, using this word, didn’t seem abrupt at all.
“Are you hungry?” With an unexplainable feeling, a tone that made people want to sink, suddenly his brain fell into a crash.
He swallowed his saliva, nodded, and then stared straight at the steamed bun without any concealment, expressing what he wanted.
“Give you……”
Mantou was reached in front of him.
Alms? Having been on the dark side of the world all the year round, he can understand the behavior of the rich. What is insignificant in their eyes is equivalent to his life for him.
And this steamed bun can get his life back!
Without any hesitation, he almost used the method of snatching to snatch the things that would keep him alive, and then looked at the man timidly.
“Don’t worry, say yes first, I am not giving alms, I will not give alms to anyone.” The smile on the corner of his mouth is the only thing that makes people feel warm in this cold winter.
“What do you want me to do? Kill who?” He tightly squeezed the food in his hands, his cold eyes staring at the scarlet.
It is not the first time that he has done this kind of thing. For him when he was young, ordinary people would not care about this little beggar at all, and this is the most suitable identity as a killer! Being hired at a negligible price, killed, escaped…this is the use value.
“No, I don’t want you to kill someone, but.” A white finger stood up and pointed to his forehead: “I want your life!”
He almost subconsciously drew out his dagger and pierced this man’s heart, but…
Unable to move! He was trembling all over, and found that he could not move at all under the scarlet gaze.
who? Is it a professional? A huge fear enveloped his heart.
But the fear disappeared in a moment, and he calmed down, the steamed bun in his hand was still hot.
“You are very hungry, right? You want to eat, right?”
He nodded.
“Then leave your life to me, I will make you full, never be hungry, and provide you with inexhaustible food.”
The temptation, almost the temptation to go deep into the bones…
Deed? Wants to treat me as a slave… He only thinks of this, but what about this, freedom? It’s better than death.
He nodded again, in exchange for a pleasant smile from the man.
“Eat, give me your life, and then you will never feel hungry.”
As he ate the food that made him salivate, he asked.
“your name?”
Whether it’s a good-hearted person or the owner, you always need to know the other person’s name, right?
The smile remained the same, and his bloodless lips were slightly raised to answer him.
“You can call me Lu Qiu.”
Lu Qiu? After chanting the name in his heart, he ate the steamed buns in his hands without any hesitation.
………………
Lu Qiu looked at the little beggar who was only thirteen or four years old this year, almost gnawing off a steamed bun.
It is certain that he was absolutely hungry for a long time.
The supplies in the City of Glory are limited. After the devil descended, the temperature of the whole world was dropping. In some places, it had fallen below the freezing point. The heavy snow was almost the same weather as daily.
So in this case, food is extremely important.
And human life.
It seems that even a gold coin is not worth it.
“Are you full?” Lu Qiu stared at the little beggar, shook his head with bulging cheeks.
People will never be satisfied.
It’s just that when he was chewing the food that can sustain his life with excitement, a power that did not belong to him suddenly raged from his body, spreading his whole body!
The little beggar fell on the ground, his forehead violently blue, clenched his fists, and vomited out the contents of his mouth with nausea. At this time, his teeth could no longer be called human teeth. The sharp fangs were sharp. Frightening, the thin body also grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Scarlet muscle tissue spread across his body, and sharp barbs kept piercing from him, no, or in other words, his body.
“Uh!”
Accompanied by the violent roar, another human being loved by the black light virus, the so-called infected body, appeared in front of Lu Qiu.
It did not attack Lu Qiu, because the virus mother Yuli was in this world, Lu Qiu could even feel the emotions transmitted from it.
hunger……
“The belly… is still hungry, right?” Lu Qiu turned sideways slightly and glanced at the people on the street, panicked because of the appearance of this monster. Lu Qiu pointed to the escaped humans: “I promised you. , Provide you with inexhaustible food, if you are hungry, just eat it until you are full!”
This infected body seemed to understand Lu Qiu’s words, and it roared again. It was like an ancient dragon’s foot that crushed the ground. It waved its own claws towards the group of escaped humans, and then grabbed the humans. They are crushed one by one and become their own food.
“A gold coin is exchanged for a steamed bun.” Lu Qiu played with the gold coin in his hand: “The same is true for human life, in this world.”
Lu Qiu raised his head and looked at the foggy sky. He could hear the roar of monsters and the sounds of panicked humans that came to mind everywhere in the city.
“In this world, no place is absolutely safe.”
Lu Qiu’s figure disappeared into the darkness, the blizzard in this city was blowing even bigger, and the scarlet snow fell down…
