City of Chaos 02
So hungry.
Ning Ren was too short, and all he could see in front of him were legs moving around.
He had been walking on and off for several hours. He used to be able to dodge things nimbly, but now he could only try his best to avoid being hit.
Ning Ren walked along the wall, clutching his flat stomach. He was wrapped in a red cloak, his short silver tail drooping underneath.
To others, he was a moving red ball, with a few wisps of gray-blue frizzy hair. He still carried the scent of a red bear cub, and for a moment, no one realized he was a purebred Mi Clan Mi Lisai.
Ning Ren stopped at a pancake stall.
The person making the pancakes was a hybrid of a spider and a human. He skillfully made pancakes one by one. I don't know what kind of meat the filling was made of, but when he turned on the fire, the sizzling aroma of oil filled the air.
The child swallowed his saliva.
He took a step forward.
The child leaned slightly toward the pancake stall, revealing a small section of his dark, dirty feet.
Even without seeing the face, I can feel the eager pleading in the eyes.
The barrage of comments couldn't be held back first, and the reaction was even louder than the boss's.
[Give it to me, give it to me! I'll give you as much as you want!]
[He did a somersault for Mommy, and he was so cute. 】
[So pitiful! When will I find the dad mentioned in the title? If I had a dad to protect me, I wouldn't have to rely on being cute to beg for food.]
Even if they find it, the family situation may not be better.
The boss just glanced at the little red ball. The three eyes on his left side reflected Ning Ren's outline at the same time, but he couldn't tell what it was. Then his nose moved and he smelled the fishy smell of a bear cub.
"Red bear cub?"
The boss snorted loudly, shook the big pot under his hand, and sparks from the stove flew everywhere, some of which splashed at Ning Ren's feet.
The frightened child screamed, stepped back repeatedly, knocked down a passerby, and fell to the ground.
The boss laughed loudly: "Why eat pancakes if you have no money! Stinky little cub! Believe it or not, I will eat you!" His face suddenly turned purple, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
“Ahhhh!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongtuan was like a panicked flame. She quickly got up and stumbled out of the boss's sight.
The boss curled his lips and said, "The most annoying one is Red Bear."
It was a mixed-breed cub with a mixed smell, so lowly that in this chaotic city, there was no place to bury its body after it died.
It is the nature of most cubs to seek benefits and avoid harm. Even though Ning Ren was young, he quickly and keenly smelled the malice and danger around him after being expelled when asking for pancakes.
He was furious, and the system was furious too.
Before the cub came to this small world, although it had no relatives, friends or clansmen, it had always been protected and pampered by the Lord God.
But now it is obviously frightened and a little stressed, which has stimulated the cub's self-protection instinct.
This running will not stop until Ning Ren finds a place he thinks is safe. The system stares at him fearfully, afraid that the child will faint from running.
But it could only keep comforting him and watch Ning Ren running away in panic.
[Oh my god! I ***** beep beep——]
【Long Live the Mantis Reward Lollipop X1】
[Aren is a genuine cub. Does this spider want to go to the United Prison? ]
[So angry! I can't curse, I'll ask my sister to do it for me QAQ]
The live broadcast attracted several tips, and the few viewers currently watching were almost cursing the boss to death.
Same system.
However, it is not the parent of the cub and cannot give it a sense of security of being protected, so its soothing effect is minimal.
Ning Ren is a cub of the "Knife" clan, and his soul body is a little hedgehog. He is more sensitive than other cubs. I don't know how long it will take him to calm down after running.
Finally, he stopped in a very quiet corner.
Ning Ren was in the corner, hugging his knees and curling up into a smaller ball, with the tip of his tail curled up nervously and tears falling from his eyes.
The system has played the "Cub Soothing Quotes" recorded in the database from beginning to end more than a dozen times.
The child's face flushed red and he clenched his fists angrily.
"Bad guy! Bad spider!"
He sat there for a full hour.
Dad is so hard to find.
After a while, the feeling of uneasiness was suppressed by an even stronger feeling of hunger.
Ning Ren covered his stomach.
He didn't know how long he would have to search, but he would starve to death without food and wouldn't be able to find his father.
"So hungry..."
System: "Up ahead, Ah Zai, there is food to eat."
After hearing this, Ning Ren wiped away his tears, stood up quickly, and ran in the direction the system said. This time he was much more cautious. After making sure that there was no other movement around, he tiptoed along the wall and slipped past like a little mouse.
Three minutes later, Ning Ren stopped in front of a garbage dump in an alley.
A trash can that looks like a normal height to adults looks like a giant monster to children.
Ning Ren's neck felt sore from tilting his head back.
“It’s so high.”
system:"……"
"Baby, this is a trash can."
How could the place where the food was detected be! A garbage dump!
Never let your child rummage through garbage dumps for food.
Mr. Lord God didn't teach him what a trash can is.
Ning Ren scratched his head: "Do I have to pay to eat from the trash can?"
System: “No need.”
The child clenched his right fist and knocked it against the palm of his left hand, praising the trash can in an affirmative manner.
“This is a really great place to eat.”
“…”
No.
Son, you can't have such a wrong perception.
A penny can make a hero fall.
A few minutes later.
The system weakly reminded: "The brick on the left is smoother than the one on the right. Be careful not to fall."
It is just a useless ruler with too many prohibitions. At worst, if it finds food from the garbage dump, it can clean it up secretly and won't let the cub get diarrhea after eating it.
The garbage dumps are classified and arranged in an orderly manner.
Ning Ren didn't recognize the words in this world, so he asked the system for help and quickly locked onto the trash can containing food.
But he was too short to reach it, so he moved several bricks together and piled them up in the shape of a staircase, then stood on tiptoe to turn it over.
The bricks were swaying, and the child in the red cloak who was standing on them was also swaying, which made the audience in the live broadcast room feel sad and scared.
The child dug out an unopened package of cookies and cheered, "It's edible!"
The live broadcast room cheered sadly: [Great, there is food (choked)]
Ning Ren threw the biscuit down and continued to flip through the pages.
-
The sensation of the glass ball in Jie Ling's hand became stronger and stronger.
He glanced around.
This is a well-connected but narrow alley area, close to the slave trading market. Eighty percent of the residents are mixed-race and have their own set of survival rules. It is a place that neither he nor Ninglie will control too strictly.
Very confusing.
It was already night, and the pale moon shone on the ground.
Some of the ground was clean, some was dirty, and occasionally small puddles reflected the moonlight.
The patrol tower lights hanging high in the alley area rotated quietly in the sky, and the Tyndall effect seemed to make the air turbid.
Jie Ling's golden glasses frame reflected light slightly, and the shadow behind him was elongated and distorted. His white suit was out of place here. He did not have the long tail that was the symbol of the Mi tribe, and looked no different from a human.
Jie Ling smelled the sour and stinky odor in this place and couldn't help frowning.
The leader's bloodline is actually in such a place?
I don't know if he lives in that house or is just passing by...
Jie Ling stopped at the place where the golden line moved most strongly, looked up, and saw a wall in front of him.
Could it be behind the wall?
He was about to use the momentum to leap up, but he heard the sound of a can rolling behind him.
Jie Ling was slightly stunned and turned to look.
It was an eight-shaped alley. He could smell a mixed odor in the air, and there was a garbage dump deep in the alley.
His eyes narrowed behind his lenses.
He tried to get closer to the garbage dump, but the golden thread in his hand did not slow down in its pulsation.
Jie Ling gave up the idea of jumping over the wall and walked towards the garbage pile where the noise came from. The sound of her footsteps, neither light nor heavy, was very obvious in the quiet environment.
In just a dozen steps, he estimated his age based on his own age and combined it with careful logic. He imagined countless appearances of the descendants of the leader he had never met in his mind and even made plans for the worst.
Is it the homeless man passed out drunk in the garbage? The disabled beggar who can only make a living from the garbage? Or the stowaway who comes here on the ship to sell garbage to make a living?
Perhaps the descendant of the chief he found did not inherit the royal blood at all, and was just a hybrid with extremely low blood purity.
Jie Ling pulled out the slender baton from her waist, shrunk it to the size of a palm, and pressed a button on the top. Energy crystals converged at one end, lighting up and forming a beam of light that shone directly towards the garbage heap.
Nothing.
Behind the garbage dump?
When Jie Ling was about to raise his foot again, a small stone was thrown at him and rolled to his feet. Then, he heard an extremely childish voice, which sounded fierce but had no deterrent effect at all.
"Don't come over here!"
Jie Ling was stunned.
The voice clearly belonged to a very small cub.
After realizing this, his first reaction was to turn off the strong light in his hand that would cause discomfort to the cub.
The surroundings fell into darkness again, with only the faint light of a lighthouse in the distance.
“…”
For some reason, Jie Ling's heartbeat quickened slightly.
The drop of red blood in the glass ball showed a hint of blue light.
Jie Ling clenched the glass ball after just one look. He looked away. The right inspector, who was known for his calmness and rationality, was now staring at the section of red cloth that was faintly visible behind the middle trash can.
He walked lightly and approached slowly.
【Who is coming? Who is coming?】
【The cub is in danger! 】
This guy is so handsome, but he's a scumbag kind of handsome. He's always a villain in storybooks! Could he be the bad guy who captures pups for experiments?
Ning Ren held on tightly to the edge of the trash can. When he stuck his head out to look, he found that the shadow was still approaching, and his hair stood on end.
He quickly stuffed the uneaten biscuit into his mouth and threw something out.
Ning Ren: "Don't come over here. You're hungry. Eat some cookies. Here you go."
The child's speech was a little unclear because he was trying hard to swallow, but it did not prevent Jie Ling from hearing what he was saying. He lowered his head to look at his feet. This time, it was not a stone thrown at him, but a bag of biscuits.
Jie Ling squatted down, picked up the biscuit and looked at it carefully.
It has expired.
He pursed his lips and didn't move forward. He even maintained a squatting position to reduce the pressure on the cub inside.
Jie Ling lowered her voice: "Are you very hungry?"
The child behind the trash can said nothing.
Jie Ling: "Thank you for the cookies. I have some candy here as a thank you for the cookies. Can you come and get some?"
He fished out a few candies in glittering packaging from his pocket and placed them on the open space in front.
In the eyes of the live broadcast room and the system, Jie Ling's move was simply the big bad wolf tempting the little rabbit to open the door.
Ning Ren glanced at the candy secretly.
He licked his lips, but the stress-like alert reaction triggered by the spider boss had not yet disappeared, and he was tangled up in a ball.
Ever since this tall man showed up, the system has been outputting like its own child was about to be stolen, avoiding the restrictions of the ban, and making extreme moves in the database full of 0s and 1s. All that reached Ning Ren's ears was the shielding sound of beep-beep-beep.
Ning Ren covered his ears and didn't want to listen. The next second, he was surprised to find that the system was really quiet.
A system that was forced to be silenced due to failed positioning: Ahhhh!
The live broadcast room also: [Ahhhhh! ]
Boy! Don't go over there!
Without blinking, Jie Ling continued, "I'm a good person. I won't hurt you. I just want to thank you."
Ning Ren poked his head out: "Are you a good person?"
Jie Ling: “Of course.”
The little red ball behind the trash can moved and took a step forward quietly.
