Chapter 285: hope

Snow in the sky, flying in the cold wind. ↑Vertex Novel,
The bones everywhere make this place like hell!
And such a place is the so-called doomsday!
Ruyan City is very big, this big city that has just been established less than a year ago, the ten-meter-high walls are covered with scars, as if they are printed on the annual rings of history, it seems to have existed for a long, long time!
On the wall, a young girl leaned on the wall alone, sitting in the crevice, looking at the sky on the west.
Her face is very pure, but her figure is very hot.
The girl was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a short-sleeved black T-shirt. Although the clothes were not tight, they still couldn't hide her beautiful curves.
How long have you been apart from him?
Four months? It should be almost there!
The girl pinched in her heart, the expression on her face became a little sad.
How could she be so useless and brought back here by her father forcibly?
What made her even more angry was that the damned villain, who didn't miss her at all, just watched her be taken away?
Thinking of this, the girl's sad expression turned into a pity! She looked like a little woman abandoned by her husband.
Then this sad little woman is Liu Xia.
At this time, a real woman and a young man came up from the city ladder.
Seeing Liu Xia's figure, the woman sighed and said, "Xia Xia, why are you running to the wall again and wearing so little clothes, beware of catching a cold!"
Liu Xia turned her head and frowned when she saw the woman and the young man.
She turned her head out of the city again, looked to the west, and then said: "Mom! Who has had a cold in these last days? Grandpa was right. Our human physique has changed because of the existence of the t virus! He is the lucky one in the last days. Not only did he not become a zombie, but he also became a healthy baby, so don't worry about it!"
The woman and the young man had already walked to Liu Xia's side. Hearing what she said, the young man smiled and said, "Haha! Liu Xia, what you said is so right, you really don’t see anyone getting sick now! But you wear them It's always cold with so little, right?"
Liu Xia did not go to see him, but said coldly: "First, people don’t get sick. I didn’t say it, but my grandfather said it! Second, how does my coldness have anything to do with you? Relationship! Third, you are the son of the deputy city lord and the commander of the army in the city. You don't use your experience to fight against the City of Nations. Why do you bother me every day?"
The young man smiled awkwardly, speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
The woman hurriedly said: "Xiaxia! Why are you talking to Yunfeng like this? It's rude!"
Liu Xia sneered and said with a sneer: "Mom! You and Dad meant to let me marry Deng Yunfeng! I have already said it, I disagree! If you really do it for my good, and for his good, don't Was wasting each other's time thinking about matching us! Although his father is the deputy city lord, he can't force me to force me!"
After speaking, Liu Xia raised her right hand, and on the palm of her white hand, a flame rose.
This is not the first time that the woman and the young man named Deng Yunfeng have seen Liu Xia perform supernatural powers, but every time they see it, they are still shocked!
This ability to raise a hand to make flames in the palm of your hand is too sci-fi, and it makes them deeply shocked, time and time again!
Facing Liu Xia's indifference, Deng Yunfeng was very annoyed, but his face showed nothing.
When the shocked mood slowly calmed down, Deng Yunfeng smiled slightly and said to the woman: "Aunt Chen Lin! Let’s chat with Liu Xia! I won’t bother you anymore. I brought you here to help you find Liu Xia. Liu Xia is right, there are still many things in the city that need me to deal with, then I will leave!"
Chen Lin, Liu Xia's mother hurriedly nodded to Deng Yunfeng politely, and then watched him leave.
Seeing Deng Yunfeng's figure disappearing on the top of the city, Chen Lin sighed slightly, and then said: "Xia Xia, why are you so stubborn? Yunfeng is really good, he looks good, and he has a lot of people in the city. Right, people want to live better in the last days, don't they just need to rely on it? Mom and Dad are all for your sake!"
Liu Xia put away the flame in her hand, and said faintly: "Mom! When the catastrophe just broke out, the whole family was preparing to flee, why did you leave the grandfather? Is it just because he is dying?"
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale, her mouth moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Liu Xia had a bitter smile on her face, and said, "I know that grandpa forced you to leave at that time! You have no way! But there is no way, can you watch him stay at home alone? He couldn't take care of himself at the time, which means that after we left, he would slowly starve to death!"
There were tears in Chen Lin's eyes, and she whispered: "Liu Xia! Don't talk about it anymore! We just wanted the whole family to survive the situation at that time! This is also your grandfather's idea!"
Liu Xia sighed and nodded:
"Mom! I know! I didn't mean to blame anyone for saying these things! Because no one is wrong!
I just think that people are really selfish, and people can always find reasons for selfishness.
Just like now, you are saying for my good, you want me to marry someone I don't love.
Mom, I think you and Dad are very selfish. You arrange my life the way you want. This is a selfish expression.
I just returned to Ruyan City at the beginning, I was going to leave, but you cried and told me not to leave, because of your sadness, I finally did not leave you cruelly, but now I regret it, because mother you are selfish to me Love makes me very likely to lose a man who may fall in love for a lifetime!
Mom, do you know how painful I am at this time? "
Chen Lin was stunned when she heard what Liu Xia said. She didn't expect her daughter to resent herself so deeply.
Liu Xia got down from the pit, then stood in front of Chen Lin, looked at her dazed mother, smiled, and said:
"Mom, don't be sad! I don't mean to blame you when I say these things.
Because it was the combination of you and dad that brought me into this world, I can only be grateful!
It's like having our family because of grandpa, we should all be grateful!
Okay, I'm going to find a place where there is no one to practice! I should be about to break into the second-level sword body by now!
When I break through, I must go to him. If you still stop me, I might not listen to you! Sorry! "
After speaking, Liu Xia turned and walked towards the stairs of the city wall.
Chen Lin caught up to two steps and said: "Liu Xia, do you really like that man? I heard your father say that he looks ugly! And it seems that you haven't known each other for long?"
Liu Xia paused, without turning her head, she said: "I can't be sure! I just know at this moment that I will return to his side and stay with him forever! This is considered love, who can tell? In the past few months of living in Ruyan City, I have lost love in my heart. In the last days, love seems to be a luxury!"
After saying this, Liu Xia raised her head and stood on the wall overlooking the entire Ruyan City!
This big city is divided into two parts. The rich areas in the east and the poor areas in the west!
The two areas are the same size, but the population ratio is four to one! Ten thousand people live in the rich areas in the east of the city, and the remaining 40,000 people live in the civilian areas in the west of the city.
The ratio of the two-faced people to the distribution of materials is nine to one! For example, if there are 100 catties of rice, people in the east of the city can get 90 catties, while people in the west can only get ten catties!
Liu Xia sighed!
The land of the doomsday, the three big cities, the city of Ruyan in front of you is already the most well-meaning place. Although the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, at least everyone can live to survive!
So what does Wuyou City and World City look like? It's hard to imagine!
The section of the city wall where Liu Xia was standing is considered the place where the east and west of the city meet.
On the west side of the city, not far from where Liu Xia was standing, a thin and ugly man in his forties, holding a rough corn tortilla in his hand, was startled.
This is all his property left after working for a month!
Now, it is a very lucky thing to be able to find a job in the rich area!
He is a lonely family. His wife and children have been separated in the last days. His parents and family do not know where he is. He is a person who lives to survive.
Looking at this hard cake, he was reluctant to eat it, because he would have nothing!
At this moment, a thinner little girl walked out of the nearby shanty town, walked to the man's side, looked at the bread he was holding, and swallowed.
The man discovered the existence of the little girl, carefully put the pancake in his arms, and then looked at her warily.
The little girl hasn't gotten anything to eat for a day. It's winter, and it's even more difficult to get food.
There was a whole night of snow last night. In the morning, the little girl got some snow to eat in a crowd of children, but it couldn't fill her stomach at all.
She was just twelve years old this year, her father had become a zombie, and only her mother was with her.
My mother doesn't have a job, so she goes to sleep with men every day in exchange for meager food so that they can survive!
But business is not good these days! The men in those slums seem to be too hungry to find a woman to sleep!
The little girl swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and finally couldn't help being hungry, she cowardly said to the man: "Uncle, do you look good at me? I accompany you to sleep, can you give me a bite of cake? If you can give me more One bite, let my mother have something to eat, and I can sleep with you tomorrow!"
Liu Xia, who was only fifty meters away from them, burst into tears in an instant!
She has seen such a scene many times in the past few months! But she has nothing to stop! Because it’s really hard to get food now! So this practice of women exchanging skin for food has become very common.
This is the real edge of doomsday!
People's lives have been miserable to such a degree, who can extravagantly demand such unrealistic things as love? Liu Xia only felt that her heart was breaking apart in pain.
The man froze for a moment, he stretched out his hand and touched the thin girl's face.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xia really wanted to rush over and kill the man, but she didn't dare to do it! Because if this man is guilty and should be killed, then this is like a city of smoke, most people should die!
The man touched the little girl's face, his hands shook slowly, and then he said, "What a sensible girl! I still think of my mother! If my daughter is still alive, she should be this big too!"
After speaking, he took out the tortilla in his arms, reluctantly stuffed it into the little girl's pocket, and said, "Go back! Don’t let people see it, although the guards in the city are now dealing with robbery and stealing. The control is very strict, but the food is getting less and less, people will always take risks in the face of hunger! Go back and eat this cake with your mother! Don’t think about staying, otherwise it won’t necessarily enter someone tomorrow In the belly!"
The little girl immediately knelt down and said thank you to the man.
The man urged her to leave soon!
At this moment, Liu Xia was stunned! She didn't expect things to develop into this way!
Looking at the ugly, skinny man, Liu Xia suddenly felt that her tears seemed to flow more turbulently!
