I'm afraid you won't find such a simple house in the entire Lanzhou Continent. No, saying it is simple is a euphemism.
Because it's not really a house at all.
But in such a place, which is not even a house, there are dozens of children ranging from several years old to teenagers.
Because of the cold, because of hunger, and because there is no hope of survival, their immature faces have long lost the innocence that belongs to children. Their nerves have not relaxed for a moment, and they are on guard against everyone around them. If there is any slight movement, they will act like
It was a frightened rabbit who reacted extremely violently.
They are so hesitant and cautious just to survive longer.
But in such an environment, there is only one thing that seems out of place.
"how's it going?"
Urgent voices kept asking from the side.
The young man shook his head slightly, glanced at the abnormal blush on the girl's face, and finally looked away, unable to bear to look at it any more.
The remaining children saw his expression and knew what was going on, so they all remained silent.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common in this place.
The girl has been having a fever for three days. In the harsh conditions of this cold winter month and the lack of medicine, it is a miracle that she can survive until now. But after all, they are still children. They have been together for such a long time, but they can only watch the people around them.
How could they not be touched if they died one by one?
The simple house was silent. More than 40 children sat honestly on the potholes covered with straw, and small sounds came from time to time in their ears. They tried to lower their heads lower, thinking that they could get themselves out of here.
Isolate yourself, but you don’t know that you are just deceiving yourself and others.
The weather is already cold, and the atmosphere is even more condensed.
At this moment, the precarious wooden door that was half embedded in the door frame was kicked open with a "bang", followed by an impatient shout: "You don't want to eat, do you? Why don't you go to training quickly?"
!”
In an instant, all the children were like frightened birds, and quickly climbed up from the straw pile where they were living. They didn't bother to take pictures of the grass blades stuck to their bodies, and quickly walked around and passed through the big man's cannibalistic eyes.
The wooden door ran out. Some children looked at the unconscious girl, still struggling in their hearts.
Under such harsh conditions, each of them may become a girl. How will they be treated then?
Uneasy and fearful, these children's reactions were a little slow and they did not respond as quickly as the first batch of children.
"Why are you still standing there? If you don't train, don't you want to live?"
The big man's tone became more serious, and some children's bodies trembled slightly. Although they were reluctant, their bodies instinctively reacted in the most favorable way.
If they stay, they will be beaten. They have already left a lot of scars on their bodies. If they continue to be beaten, they will lose the strength to train. If they can't train, they will lose their value. Without anyone to look after them, they won't even be able to stay here for three days.
was thrown out.
They have no father or mother, and they don't even know how to survive if they leave here, and the habits they have formed over a long time also make them subconsciously obey the orders of the big man.
In the broken house, the boy who had been with the girl from beginning to end was finally thrown out ruthlessly after confronting the big man for ten minutes.
If the boy hadn't been extremely talented, he might have had the same fate as the girl waiting for him.
What they train is killers, and the most important thing they need is all kinds of emotions.
But now, his last line of defense will no longer exist. Perhaps this boy will become the best among these children.
In the end, only the unconscious girl was left in the dilapidated house. The cold wind invaded every corner of the house, and there was no sign of life at all.
dusk
"Where is the person? Why is he missing?"
The roaring man was obviously the boy who was thrown out last. He had been worried about the girl and ran here as soon as possible after training, but what he saw was an empty room.
Where is the girl?
Why is it missing?
The boy's face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't accept it. He searched almost every corner of the small dilapidated house, and finally had to accept this fact.
The girl was thrown away like the sick children before her.
She was obviously fine when she left, how could it be, how could it be? She could obviously get better, why didn't she wait any longer?
The boy looked a little crazy. He yelled like crazy but couldn't get any response. His black and white eyes gradually turned scarlet, and the injuries he sustained during training seemed to be unconscious. At this moment, he only had the right words in his mind.
The hatred of those people and the annoyance of being powerless.
The children who came back one after another were stunned when they saw him. The scene before the training once again echoed in front of their eyes. They looked at the empty place with only the thin figure of the boy, and instantly understood what was going on.
The blood in the body seemed to freeze in an instant, and then no one paid attention to the crazy boy anymore. They returned to their places and sat down, and then a deathly silence exuded.
There are some things that they cannot interfere with. The only thing they can do is to try to survive, even if it is just for one more day.
The boy's madness has not diminished at all, and others try to avoid him.
At first they may be touched by such things, but they don't know yet whether they have a tomorrow, and how they can take care of someone who has nothing to do with them.
