Chapter 27
The two monsters look similar, the only difference is that one has many hands, while the other is in normal form.
Due to the huge impact force, the bodies of the two monsters collided with each other and were directly deformed.
Wu Jian flew over the monster and saw a human-shaped mark on the wall in the distance, but he couldn't help but go forward and touch it.
There is a layer of white wax on the edge of the human figure, which breaks when touched, revealing a corner of the inside.
A blood-red eye, bloodshot eyes, shattered retina, as if it had experienced powerful squeezing and finally died in pain.
Wu Jian stood there in a daze.
It was a long time before he came to his senses and left the corridor.
There was a door at the end of the corridor. After trying again and again, I found that it was not an illusion.
Wu Jian hurried forward to open the door and found himself on a deserted street.
Wu Jian flew onto the building and stopped at a blind spot of a terrace window. Ordinary people could not see him here, but he could look around at ease.
This is a prosperous city. Outside the city, it is pitch black and nothing can be seen. The sky is also gloomy.
Unlike the primitive buildings of the Death Beast City in Training Ground No. 03, No. 09 is more modern, but its age is similar to that of the buildings in the old century of Blue Star.
The pigeon towers, the crisscross houses, and the old alleys are all covered with strange graffiti.
There was still a broken flag under a withered old tree, but the person was gone.
Wu Jian passed by a breakfast shop where some hot buns were served.
He took one and took a bite. At this moment, a mechanical female voice sounded from the bun shop.
[You also consumed an energy stone, please pay. ]
Wu Jian spat out a mouthful of bun, feeling indignant.
"Ah!" A bun actually wants an energy stone, he's robbing me!
The mechanical female voice answered Wu Jian again.
"Sir, we never cheat. All our goods are worth the money. Please don't make false accusations. When you come to Ghost City, you must abide by its rules, otherwise bad things will happen~"
Wu Jian: Why do I feel that the last word 'oh' carries with it an endless mockery?
Wu Jian handed over an energy stone with great frustration (pain in the heart), took the buns and quickly left the bun shop that had robbed him of his money.
He was flying in the middle of the street. Occasionally, a cold wind blew, freezing him so much that he couldn't help shivering.
At this moment, a newspaper flew onto Wu Jian's face, almost causing him to hit the glass.
Wu Jian pulled the newspaper off his face and was about to throw it away when he saw the black and white image on the newspaper and stopped in his tracks.
[With the outbreak of the Spiritual Tide, unspeakable events are occurring across the globe. All prosperous cities have become severely affected areas. Please protect yourselves. The army will arrive soon!]
The newspaper's first picture was accompanied by a black and white image, showing a deformed monster leaping out of the paper. Even the darkness of the image could not conceal its hideousness.
Wu Jian immediately understood why there was no one on the street.
A spiritual tide broke out in this world not long ago, and monsters appeared everywhere, so everyone ran for their lives?
Snap!
The sound of something falling to the ground instantly attracted Wu Jian's attention.
He turned his head and saw a dirty child staring at the bun in his hand and swallowing hard.
Wu Jian looked at the child, then at the bun in his hand.
After thinking for less than three seconds, he stuffed the bun into his mouth.
The child was dumbfounded.
The various civilizations in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy.
[The cubs guarding their food are so funny! ]
[Little Dragon: I spent money on it, I can't waste it.]
[It's so funny. I thought he would give it to the child, but he ate it himself and didn't leave a single bite for the child.]
"I'm relieved that the little dragon isn't the Holy Father. Unlike other players in the livestream, they were tricked into giving away their lives by the same kid. I mean, don't be too kind, it can easily cost you your life."
What on earth is Training Ground No. 9? At first I thought it was a gathering place for monsters, but now it feels like the end of the world.
[It should be near the Magic Civilization Training Ground 011. It's both strange and terrifying. But I think this world is even more confusing.]
[Ah, little dragon cub is so narrow-minded. The child is so pitiful, how could he be so cruel?]
【??? Is the person above mentally healthy?】
[Haha, you guys are sick, this is just trash, what's worth watching?]
Wu Jian didn't know that someone in the live broadcast room was trying to attack him. Other rational viewers defended him and tried to speak for him, but they were criticized by a group of black fans.
He was looking into the child's eyes and found that the child was looking at him pitifully.
The child's gaze will move in the direction you move.
What does this kid want to do?
"Dog..."
Wu:?
You are the dog, your whole family are dogs!
Wu Jian was so angry that he almost spit at the kid, but considering that he was a child, he reluctantly let him go and prepared to leave in the opposite direction.
Suddenly, a small hand grabbed Wu Jian's short legs and flapped its wings hard, but it was useless.
Wu Jian's eyes widened, and when the fire in his stomach was about to burst out, the child pinched Wu Jian's dragon mouth, and the flames went out in his mouth, and a few sparks came out.
The child made a gesture with his hands and whispered, "Little puppy, be quiet! The monster is coming!"
Before Wu Jian could react, the child had already taken him through the streets and finally into a room.
Wu Jian was held in the child's arms, and through the gaps in their clothes, he saw many people hiding in the basement. Their faces were sallow, and their eyes were filled with death, as if they were waiting for death to come at any time.
The child huddled in the corner holding Wu Jian, not daring to make a sound.
Hearing the rumbling sound of the child's stomach, Wu Jian looked up at the child and found that the child was also looking at him.
The dragon and the child stared at each other for a long time until a whistle sounded.
Wu Jian initially looked away, looking in the direction of the whistle, only to discover a group of burly men. One of them was holding a box. Every time they reached a corner, they would silently hand over a small amount of items. If they were short on items, they would inevitably be beaten.
Wu Jian was surprised, but then he calmed down. A collapsing world without order would become like this sooner or later.
He calmed himself down and tried not to go forward and meddle in other people's business.
There are still some things in this world that we don't understand. If we rashly help others, we might end up in a dead end.
"Please spare me this time. I really can't find any food. Please."
The man who was beaten was an old man in his sixties or seventies. His clothes were torn so that his bones could be seen.
The man with a face full of flesh sneered and said, "If you really can't find it, you'll have to eat it yourself. I know it very well. If you want to be protected here, you must hand over the food, or leave my territory."
The old man finally had no choice but to dig out a pack of biscuits from the corner and give it to the man.
The man pushed the old man down and said, "Old man, if you try to play tricks on me again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
After the old man was dealt with, the others handed in their things more diligently, for fear of getting beaten.
Finally the man came to the child and the child took out a box of milk from his pocket.
The man looked at the child and said nothing.
Then he turned and left.
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the child would be beaten.
Not only did he get beaten, but I was also hiding in his arms.
If you get beaten up, that would be an unjust death.
As soon as the man left, Wu Jian's tense body relaxed.
At this time, a staggering person appeared and approached the child. It was the old man just now.
However, the old man did not look pitifully like he had just been frowned upon by the man, but instead looked at the child with a fierce look on his face.
"What do you mean?"
The child kept his head down and said nothing.
Doubt flashed in Wu Jian's big crimson eyes.
Do these two have any grudges?
Besides, isn't there food readily available outside? Why do these people still worry about food?
Wu Jian didn't understand.
Seeing that the child didn't say anything, the old man reached out and pushed the child. However, due to hunger, the child had no strength at all and was easily pushed over.
The old man looked at the child lying on the ground, but instead of reaching out to help, he said coldly, "Kid, why didn't you take out the food earlier? You got me beaten up, did you do that on purpose?"
"That's right. I gave them that little bit of food. My son is crying from hunger now. Why didn't you take out the milk earlier? My child is in the prime of his life..."
"Little brother, this is where you're wrong. How could you give them such good things? I can trade you some spicy noodles. You must have some left, right? Can you give some milk to Auntie?"
Faced with everyone's unanimous questioning, the child still remained silent.
Wu Jian smelled a fishy smell and looked up to see the child biting his lips tightly, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"There's no need to be like this. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have discovered this shelter..."
A thin man was about to argue for the child when he was angrily retorted by the old man.
"Haha, do you really need to pretend to be kind now? Didn't you also want to take the food in his hand? As soon as the food was finished, you turned your face against me."
The thin man's voice fell silent, and he didn't dare to look at the child with a guilty look in his eyes.
Wu Jian understood.
The child saved this group of people, but not only did he not receive their gratitude, but he was exploited and drained by them?
No wonder the child brought himself back. He was used to “picking up” things and bringing them home.
Tsk, the kid has a good heart, but what kind of “junk” is this he picked up?
Not only does he like moral kidnapping, but he also tries to CPU a child. Do you have any shame?
While the thin man and the old man were arguing, the child sat in the corner in a daze.
Several question marks flashed through Wu Jian's mind.
No, kid, they all said that to you, just fight back!
If it were me, I would blow fire directly at their faces. How shameless!
Seeing that the child didn't speak, the old man gave the child a lecture and left angrily.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
A sharp scream was heard, waking everyone up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Oh no! Monsters are breaking in!"
As the man ran in, he was stabbed by a sharp hand knife, and blood splattered on the faces of nearby people.
For a while, screams continued in the basement.
"Where are Brother Dao and the others?"
Brother Dao is the one who collects protection fees. This is the name Wu Jian heard most often mentioned by this group of people when he was eating melons.
"Brother Dao and the others are not here. They, they left us and ran away!"
Everyone fell into despair, but as the monster kept pressing forward, they could only retreat step by step.
There were constant screams in the basement.
