The sky was gray with a light drizzle, as if someone was crying.

S City is located on the edge of the war with humans, and it is doomed to the misfortune of this place.

The streets are littered with traces of fighting and destruction, and the tall buildings that were once beautiful have now become dust in the city, and the gray sky and the drizzle make the city now look endlessly sad.

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a human youth standing in place, staring at the sky with godless eyes, letting the rain fall on his delicate face, and even the rain fell into his eyes without showing any discomfort.

With a slender body, a height of 1.65 meters, and a face that is not stunning but looks very small and scholarly, it looks very small, but the vicissitudes in his eyes can't hide his true age.

His name is Zhao Yang, twenty-three years old, a young man in society, fatherless and motherless, and an orphan.

Just now Zhao Yang witnessed a battle between the scorn and the humans, as for the battle situation, Zhao Yang didn't know, and he didn't care, he only knew that after the battle started, all the humans in S City hid, and the city was full of dead silence.

Yes, there are still people in this city, not just him, there are many, many people, most of these people are not from S City, but those who came to S City from their hometown to work for a living, and of course, there are some people like Zhao Yang who were born in orphanages and made a living everywhere in S City when they grew up.

As for the rest of the people in the S city, as long as they have a little money or background, they have been taken to a safe area.

And the people who are left behind are, without exception, ordinary people who have no money and no status, and work hard with their own hands but do not get a salary proportional to their work.

As ordinary people Zhao Yang and they were abandoned in S City, it is not that the world wants to abandon these people, but they are really beyond their power, the war must have sacrifices, and it is better to leave some human beings who have no effect on this world when they have to be sacrificed, which is also a helpless move in the current situation.

Zhao Yang had been staring at the sky for a long time, and a gray figure appeared not far behind him.

The figure was extremely cautious, as if she didn't want to alarm anything, and you could tell from her eyes that she was afraid of something.

However, after she saw Zhao Yang's figure, a hanging heart seemed to be relieved, but she was still cautious in her actions, which seemed to have become an instinctive manifestation of her body.

"Zhao Yang." The person who came was a woman, and after walking not far from Zhao Yang's side, she carefully called Zhao Yang, who was distracted.

"Why are you here? You wouldn't have been sitting here all the time, would you? The woman's voice was mixed with horror.

His thoughts were interrupted, Zhao Yang listened to the voice and already understood who it was, he looked back at the woman, not beautiful, but it was so touching and pitiful, about the same height as Zhao Yang, although he was not wearing high-end, even some broken ordinary people's clothes, but on the whole, it was still very good, at first glance, she was a more conservative girl, not wearing tight and revealing clothes, wearing looser, but it did not affect her own posture, black hair and fair skin, if you dress up, Presumably also a beautiful embryo.

Her names are Li Yunyuan and Zhao Yang grew up in an orphanage, and they are childhood sweethearts.

Zhao Yang looked at her worried and scared look, smiled and said, "I'm fine, they all left after the fight, and they won't find us." ”

"Really?" Li Yunyuan's eyes at this time had already shone slightly.

"Lie to you and you won't give me money." Zhao Yang gave her a blank look. It was as if he was angry.

Li Yunyuan didn't suspect anything anymore, just patted his chest and calmed down his nervousness: "I'm scared to death, I thought something was wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I'm worried about you, did you come out to me alone? What about the others? ”

"I couldn't find you in the safe cave, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I hurried out to find you, fortunately you are fine, as for the others, they are still hiding in the safe cave."

"You don't want to die?" Zhao Yang asked in an unkind tone, but there was some relief in his eyes.

"Am I not afraid that something will happen to you? I'm scared to death, but I don't want anything to happen to you. Li Yunyuan's face was red when he said this, but his eyes were very firm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to worry you, let's go back to the safe cave! I'm never going to do that again. "Since he was a child, Zhao Yang has long been accustomed to the feeling that no one is worried about doing whatever he wants, that seemingly free but empty and lonely in his heart, but Li Yunyuan has given him this kind of warmth many times, and this time too. Let him make up for the emotions that have been lacking for many years.

Zhao Yang is not an emotional idiot and understands Li Yunyuan's feelings about him, but he has always pretended to be confused, it is not that Zhao Yang looks down on Li Yunyuan, or for other reasons, on the contrary, Zhao Yang also likes this girl very much, but he thinks that Li Yunyuan's character should find a better man who can protect her from worrying about being afraid and live a stable life, not a person like him Zhao Yang, who is incapable at all, and even he himself is in a situation where he may die at any time and can't even give her a sense of security.

Maybe one day he has the ability, Zhao Yang will not hesitate to accept this feeling, but the reality is so, Zhao Yang doesn't want to harm anyone, if he has been so lonely for the rest of his life, it is not impossible, after all, the situation is different now.

Zhao Yang didn't say much and left this place with Li Yuanyuan.

But what they didn't notice was that a sickening man with bloody earth-colored yellow mud skin and a lizard's head 1.8 meters tall was staring at their backs, and then slowly followed them.

At this time, the two of them had already come to the safety cave, which was said to be a safety cave, but rather a tunnel dug underground.

However, this tunnel is wide and huge, the lights are bright inside, and it will not look extremely dark, and the walls are not earth-colored gray soil, but are made of concrete, just like a normal family-like residential place, all kinds of tables, chairs, furniture, and some furnishings are no different from normal living places, and the difference is that there are more things, and they are all durable, and the appearance may not be so high and gorgeous.

It was stuffed with a lot of people, but it didn't seem crowded, enough to see the width of the tunnel, and these people were all people left over from S City.

They have been living here for more than ten years, and there are many people who are missing arms and legs, and some people who have their eyes covered and half of their ears missing.

It's not because they're not careful, it's because the hiding place was found by the scorn, and the scorn was injured when they desperately escaped, compared to those who died at the hands of the sneer, they just had something less but it was worth picking up a life.

Although the safety cave is a safety cave, there is also an unsafe day, this kind of experience These people, including Zhao Yang, have experienced it no less than five times, and it turns out that there are many people in S City, but now there are less than three thousand people left.

"You two just came back from outside?"

As soon as the two entered the safe cave, they were stopped by a stout young man, and his tone was extremely unkind.

This young man Zhao Yang knew, although he didn't know the name, but he knew that this person was the protector here, and his status was very high!

Zhao Yang pulled the somewhat nervous Li Yunyuan behind him and nodded himself.

"What if you bring in the scorns? Do you still want to think about everyone's safety? Don't you know the rules? ”

As soon as the sturdy young man finished speaking, everyone in the safety cave cast unkind glances at Zhao Yang's side, especially those who had less things with a frightened look, looking at Zhao Yang's eyes with a very vicious look.

"I know." Zhao Yang also understood the seriousness of the matter, these people are now doing anything to survive, and he has seen them kill several suspicious people for an inconsequential and uncertain factor. And he was killed in front of everyone.

"Do you know you dare to come back? What's your name? ”

"My name is Zhao Yang." Zhao Yang still answered the young man, but he did not report Li Yunyuan's name.

"Zhao Yang? Does anyone know this Zhao Yang? The stout young man muttered and shouted into the safe quarter.

But there was only one round of voices in the safety cave, and no one was willing to stand up and admit that they knew Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang casually glanced around and found a lot of people he knew, but most of these people had complicated eyes, just looked at him slightly and lowered their heads, obviously not wanting to have any contact with him.

"Nobody knows you? Aren't you safe cave people? So where are you from? The unkind eyes of the sturdy young man were terrifying, and even the eyes of the people around him were cold.

Zhao Yang didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer, he was a little inconsiderate about what he did this time, which led to his embarrassing situation now, but he had a burden that had been precipitated in his heart for a long time.

"I'm from the Cave, and I can name a lot of people here, but so what? What if I'm not a safe caveman? Yes so what? What if you are lured by me? And then what? Kill the culprit I brought in the scorn? And then what? What should I do? Will I give up attacking the safe cave because of my death?

Have you been living like this all the time? What are we like now? An underdog abandoned by his kind? Living in the shadow of fear every day, at the mercy of others, we are also endowed with the same ability, the same hands and feet, no more, no less, but why are we the way we are, and why do the same people who do not have many hands and feet live in a happy and happy city? ”

Zhao Yang finished saying this sentence that had been suppressed in his heart for many years in one breath, and everyone fell into a collective silence after listening to it, and the eyes of the sturdy young man also had some thoughts.

"If you really attract ridicule, I will be the first to kill you."

"If he really came because of me, please allow me to kill him desperately before you want my life." Zhao Yang smiled.

The two looked at each other, "As you just said, we are also endowed with the power of evolution, but the energy of S City is very poor, and the strongest of us here can only use the power of half-order evolution, and we can only strengthen the strength, which is not enough to resist the scorn at all, and there is no difference from the original self." ”

"Everyone wants to leave this hellish place, but their ability is limited, so what can we do?"

Zhao Yang was silent when he heard this, and everyone was also silent. The law of the jungle has been an eternal truth throughout the ages.

"We can only hope that the warriors there will save us."

After the sturdy young man said this, everyone's expressions yearned, "We will definitely be saved by the warriors there one day, don't live this fearful life again, we must have faith in the warriors, they will definitely defeat the scorn and save us." ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Then everyone began to pray in this way, and a cry of hope erupted.

"Long live the warriors!"

"You must defeat those monsters."

"Drive those abominable monsters out of our homeland."

……

Zhao Yang saw it in his eyes, but he chose to be silent, and the corners of his mouth even showed a wry smile at this time, to be honest, he also hoped that the brave people there could save them, but he was disappointed again and again in the past ten years, Zhao Yang had long been numb, but everyone still trusted him so much, he even didn't understand it a little.

Just when everyone was indulging in hope, an alarm sounded.

……

"Oh no, there's a lot of scorn out there, and they seem to have spotted our safe hole and are surrounding it."

"Huh?" The sturdy young man glanced at Zhao Yang resentfully.

"You really lured them over, I heard that this scorn is very shrewd, it is obvious that you are being followed, and today it seems that we are all coming to an end."

Everyone blamed Zhao Yang one after another.

"The guy who killed a thousand knives, we'll kill you now."

……

In the face of the resentful crowd, Zhao Yang said that he was not afraid that it did not exist, especially when he heard that he had discovered this place, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility for his unintentional mistakes, but he still had to bear all the consequences for his guilt.

"I know I can't afford to do this, but I'm willing to fight that sneer, even if it costs my life, to delay your escape for a night."

"Even if you die, you can't escape the blame, it's not impossible for you to keep your life to fight and sneer, but you also have to show your determination, you go out now and delay sneering. Do you dare? The stout young man said sharply.

"I don't dare, but I know that I must bear it, this is my principle of being a man, and it doesn't matter if I die." Zhao Yang smiled, and Li Yunyuan behind him pulled him and didn't let him leave.

"I broke the goods, and I was supposed to bear them, you know me for so many years and know me very well, Li Yunyuan...... Live well, maybe...... Alas...... Do not say. Zhao Yang mourned.

"You can't die, I have a part in this...... I'm with you. Li Yunyuan didn't know where she had the courage to say this, and she was shocked after saying it, but she didn't regret it.

Zhao Yang glanced at her, and couldn't help but want to hug her once, but he couldn't help it, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and pushed Li Yunyuan into the crowd with one hand.

"People who know me, count me Zhao Yang begging you, help me take good care of Li Yunyuan."

After speaking, he only smiled at Li Yunyuan, and did not say the emotion in his heart, because he was afraid that saying it would cause Li Yunyuan a burden in his heart, and then he would not marry him for the rest of his life.

"Let's go, kill the sneer."

When Zhao Yang said this, he had already stepped out of the safety hole, although Li Yunyuan desperately struggled to follow him, but those who knew Zhao Yang grabbed Li Yunyuan fiercely and let her break free no matter how hard she tried, this was the last thing they could do for Zhao Yang.

The sturdy young man looked at Zhao Yang's back and muttered, "It's a bit bold." ”

Then the corners of his mouth curled. I didn't keep up. "Let's go, in order to prevent emergency problems, we have set up an emergency exit in the safety cave, everyone follow me and leave."
