Chapter 229: Hit it off
The 4.7 billion population of Grimmstar, excluding the 2% of the upper class, the remaining 98% were all squeezed into the 100 floats that should have only accommodated a million people each.
Each float exceeded its design capacity by nearly 50 times, and the living conditions during it showed how terrible it was. If it weren't for the temporary strengthening of the most basic air filtration system and temperature regulation system on these floats, there might have been a large number of dead people living in them that day.
Although there are no widespread deaths, chaos has already begun.
Human affection is always fragile, and human nature is the coexistence of light and darkness. The hot-blooded warriors on the battlefield ahead emitted the bright side of humanity like a star in the starry sky, and in these floats, the dark side of human nature began to slowly gain the upper hand, perhaps only a fuse was needed to show the dark side of human nature like a black hole.
Xiao Ming and the others lived in an apartment building in the North District of No. 10086, a house of only fifteen square meters, and there were thirteen people living in Xiao Ming - basically, everyone could do nothing but lie down in the house.
In this way, it was only after Pablo almost got into a fight, and the people who arranged it at the beginning saw that Pablo was with a group of children, and they wanted to bully him, so they only gave him a five-square-meter house, where can he live? After a long time of theory, he finally made a move, and then he grabbed this fifteen-square-meter house.
Four-fifths of the house is made up of beds - but they are boxes, standard-sized sleeping boxes, stacked one at a time.
The remaining fifth, you can put some sundries. Not much. Pablo couldn't even bring his own sword and shield. You can say that there is nothing left but the clothes on your body.
Xiao Ming naturally didn't have his own space bracelet, so he was alone.
But fortunately, the children are very sensible, no one complains about anything, and they all endure obediently.
"Little ones, come and eat!" everyone's food is delivered at a fixed point. Automatic distribution machines are useless, as long as they dare to drive on the street, they will be robbed, so they can only go to a fixed place for people in each block to pick them up. In order not to cause chaos, the food collection point can be described as fully armed, and whoever dares to make trouble will be killed on the spot immediately, without any mercy.
But this only ensures that there will be no mess at the food collection point. When the food was brought out, the looters abounded - there was so little food that everyone could only guarantee the most basic conditions of survival. Adults are better, like children in this family, eating enough is a luxury, and you can hear your stomach rumbling at any time.
Pablo came back with the food, all compressed. Together, they are not as big as the two fists of the fierce man Pablo.
The children pounced on them and obediently divided the food. The older children gave more food to the lesser ones, and the younger ones pretended not to be hungry and gave back the food to the older ones, and no one could have enough to eat except the youngest, the three-year-old one. Everyone is hungry, but no one is selfish.
"You're fighting again!" said Maria, looking at the bruises on Pablo's face, frowning in distress.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. It's just a few idiots who don't have long eyes, and they dare to rob my big bear, it's really looking for death!" said Pablo nonchalantly.
"One less, where's your food?" said Maria, looking at Pablo.
"Ah, what's that......" Pablo scratched his head embarrassedly: "Elaine and their food was robbed of half, I didn't catch up when I went to chase them, they are two women, this can't work, I'll give them mine." It's okay, it's nothing if I don't eat one or two meals!"
Maria knew it would be like this. Elaine is their neighbor, her son has gone to join the army, and Elaine and her daughter-in-law are left in the house, the two women are crammed into a room of less than two square meters, and the food has been robbed several times.
Pablo went to help every time, but the two families lived far away and couldn't always take care of it. So Pablo gave them his own food every time.
Where is one or two meals not eaten, it has been five days since he came to No. 10086, and what Pablo really ate is less than a meal, in order to resist hunger, he keeps drinking water, and now the whole person is swollen.
Maria shoved her food into Patsuro's mouth and forced him to eat it.
"My baby, I'm really nothing. You can't go hungry!" Pablo was laughing, his big face was ugly, but gentle.
Maria didn't speak, but just hugged Pablo and cried silently, tears slipping from her blue eyes, and seemed to be dyed with a faint blue.
Xiao Ming couldn't hold back any longer, first stuffed his food into the mouth of a little Lori next to him, and then got up and went out.
"Akiko, where are you going, it's not safe outside!" Pablo hurriedly stopped.
Xiao Ming didn't say a word and walked away.
Pablo wanted to chase, but when he thought of the situation on the float, there must be a person at home, and he was usually able to get out safely because there was Xiao Ming, a humanoid beast, guarding at home, and now that Xiao Ming was leaving, he didn't dare to leave half a step at all.
Think about it carefully, with Xiao Ming's ability, it should be someone else who is not safe.
What can Xiao Ming do when he goes out? He didn't do anything, he just went out and guarded the food collection point. If you see someone who has bad intentions to rob someone, you will follow, and then when the other party is robbing, you will appear and beat the robber half to death, and the food of the robbed person will be returned. Of course, he would not be polite to those who robbed and robbed them of their food.
Xiao Ming went out for five hours, and when he came back, he was holding a standard amount of food for at least six people.
"Akiko, you, you're going to rob someone?" Pablo looked at the food in front of him dumbfounded.
"I robbed those robbers of things!" Xiao Ming said with a straight face.
Whether it is the distorted education he received since he was a child, or the life experience of the Doji Star later, for Xiao Ming, he does not have much sense of "law", he does things completely by heart. In the words of Ji Qiaoyu's brainwashing of him: "I never do justice, it's just that people I don't like and want to clean up are often called villains!"
"Ugh!" Pablo was speechless. Those who dare to rob people are not good stubble, and he naturally doesn't care about the life and death of these people. However, these guys are hard enough, and Pablo can beat at most, and it is unlikely that they will fight back. Those guys saw that the situation was not good, and they ran faster than anything else.
But in the face of Xiao Ming, a humanoid beast, these guys didn't even have a chance to run. If he really didn't want to kill, Xiao Ming would have killed these guys early.
"I'll go again tomorrow!" Xiao Ming said. He's addicted.
"You're not good!" said Maria.
Xiao Ming looked at her, not angry, just watched quietly.
Maria smiled faintly: "That's not good. After these people are robbed by you, there is no hope of survival, and they will be even more distorted. You can't keep everybody, it's only going to cause more chaos!"
"Does other people's lives or deaths have anything to do with me?" Xiao Ming said.
This guy is soft-hearted, but he never admits it. And as long as he doesn't see it, he can indeed do it without asking, I have to say that a certain eldest sister's distorted education of her younger brother is quite successful.
"It's true that other people's lives and deaths don't matter to us, but if there is complete chaos here, we will also suffer!" Maria is not such a cold-blooded person. As the adopted daughter of this guy, even if she was cold-blooded before, she would be infected and not cold-blooded.
"What do you say?" Xiao Ming felt that what Maria said made a lot of sense, and he really couldn't be as ruthless as he said.
"Gather all these wicked people, fight evil with evil, and do good with evil!" said Maria, like a beautiful flower, but the meaning expressed was like a sword.
Xiao Ming was not stupid, and immediately understood what Maria meant: "Will the above interfere?"
"Yes, so we're going to do it smartly!" said Maria.
"Huh?" Xiao Ming was puzzled.
"Puppet!" said a word, not speaking.
Xiao Ming thought about it for a while, and immediately understood: "Is there a goal?"
"I'll go with you, I can feel that there is a good target!" Maria was very happy that Xiao Ming understood what she meant, and there was a bit of weirdness in her smile.
"Okay, go now!" Xiao Ming nodded: "Can you find the weapon?"
"Naturally, there will be weapons there!" said Maria.
"Okay!" Xiao Ming stood up and turned to go out.
Maria looked at Pablo: "Father, take a good look at your younger siblings. Let's go and go back!"
Pa Jinluo was in a state of distraction during the whole process, and it wasn't until Xiao Ming and the two left that he shouted and came over.
He suddenly discovered that his daughter was not such a gentle child. Or, how could the peerless gem that shone in the sea of corpses and blood be just a simple gentle child? In the past, Maria had too many scruples and too many restrictions, but now, the dark side of this human nature has prevailed. The restrictions are gone.
And Xiao Ming's appearance is like a steel knife in Maria's hand, giving Maria's extremely smart brain a place to play.
In addition, Xiao Ming is not a good baby, so these two little guys hit it off.
Pablo was in a cold sweat, feeling that after he brought Xiao Minglai back, he woke up the two dragon star beasts in one go. He didn't regret bringing Xiao Ming back, but he was a little worried.
"Big Bear, where are Sister Maria and Little Brother going?" asked a little Lori.
"Well, they're going to find food!" Pablo could only say, and when he thought about it, Xiao Ming and Maria's ultimate goal was indeed food.
"Then can we eat this? Leave half for Sister Maria and Little Brother, shall we eat half of it?" The other Xiao Zhengtai looked at the food in front of him, and his mouth watered.
"Ah, you all eat, they have eaten. Don't worry, we will be able to eat enough every day in the future!" (To be continued......)
