In the dusk of one day, when the boy just got his item froinning noas a young man; he followed Old Hans into that metal room There werewas a bed It was a real bed; a real bed with pillow and bedding This bed was enough to distinguish the difference between Old Hans and others The young man didn't pay attention to the bed; his eye focused on a hand drawn h; there were a lot of eerous by an eye-catching red color

”We are here” Old Hans pointed at one place on the er moved across the west, and only stopped when it caerous area He continued: ”This place is the nest of Spitfire Ant Its body is longer than one h opponent It don't actually spit fire, but you have to be careful with the corrosive liquid it spits out If you would get stained by this, it would have been worse than fire The roup However, there are sos, which was also called its blade, are harder than steel, while the weight is light as a half It could be sold everywhere; and its price is not so bad, because there aren't so s, there is a piece of meat without any radiation, however, the amount of it is really too low”

The young man looked the map calmly It looked like he wanted to remember every detail on the reen color; there were soray patterns around its pupil His eye was clear as crystal, and overall, it looked like a finest jade After so many years, Old Hans realized it was the first time he saw it clearly

Old Hans cleared his throat, then er to the south of Spitfire Ant's nest This place was marked with a letter W

”There is a cave here; in the cave there is a sewage pond, and in the pond there is a e leech If you feed it with your blood, it will release excess water from inside it body This kind of water has very low radiation, I think it is safe enough for a one year kid”

”The nest of Spitfire Ant is one hundred kilometers far away from this cave, I think you need to spend a few days on the road Tomorrow, this mine will close, don't coently

The voice of the young ht have a potential to become a superstar

In the earlyRotten Wolves back to their base, but it also brought a roaring tornado with fist - sized gravels From the west of thewind cuts the fiery redahead, there were only some bush of thorny Buckthorn, which contained virulent toxic in its branches and leaves Although Rock Scorpion and Giant Belly Black Bee were also fatal threats, the greatest danger was the lack of water, even the highly radiation sewage

When the Rock Scorpion had to hide itself in the rock crevices to avoid the sun, that boy appeared on the edge of the desert His body rapped in a black blanket; the hand rapped by bandage was holding a little girl, which was also wrapped in a black blanket

In the co and one small, held each other hands and walked slowly to the center of the desert Suddenly, a strong wind blew off the blanket on the little girl's head, and a silky grey hair spilled out Under the sunlight, it swayed outradiance

The younghair, and then put back her blanket on her head Then he held her hand again, and continuously walked to the heart of the desert

After one week of walking, they found the cave and the , the young ht

Until the dawn of the third day, the youngin front of the entrance of the cave, waiting for his return No one kno long she had waited

In this evening, she frowned and used her little white teeth with all her reeny white Spitfire Ant’s h and fishy, but the little girl tried to chew each piece of meat completely; she even licked all the liquid in her hand

Deep in the cave, the young man hide in the darkness, cleaned up little by little the crisscrossing wounds on his body Soh to see the bone

Saturated with the blood, the ot out of the bowl slothfully, then silently slid in the green sparkling sewage pond It left behind a half bowl of clean water

The young o to Spitfire Ant's nest and return, so the life of hiirl and the leech, repeated itself in a three-day cycle

Three years after, the leech died

No matter what happens, the sun would always rise

The boy and the girl stood at the entrance of the cave The strong wind blew the tattered blanket on their bodies Sometimes, a broken piece was ripped off from them

”We have to go to the settlematic attraction became more deep and broad

Now the girl had grown up to the boy's chest She leaned against hihtly; murmured: ”I am afraid”

”Don't worry, I will protect you” The fireable determination inside it However, only he would kno much confidence it could be

The boy carried four forelegs of Spitfire Ant, which were selected carefully Old Hans had said that this stuff could be sold for a lot of money in the settlement A lot of money meant clean food and water The experience at thea lot of stuff which could be sold at a high price, otherwise, troubles would come

The boy walked ahead, the girl held his clothes, two people, walked together to the forward area, which was desolate enough to bring desperation to human

Yorkston toas a settlement developed in the last decade In the town, there were approximate five to six hundred people fro tirocery stores, clinics gradually opened up There was even a sheriff responsible forthe order in the town The un, which was always hanging on his hip Co with common weapons in this town, such as bottles, iron sticks, un; the sub- than others Due to that, Yorkston town had kind of basic order At least, arbitrary killing was not allowed in here; if you wanted to kill soitimate reason

And, a reason accepted by the sheriff would be a legitimate reason

Today, a real VIP caher status people in the toent to the outskirt to great Other people, eren't qualified to go, stayed in the town and talked excitedly about that VIP, even though they didn't knohether that VIP was a irl

The town's Butcher, who also ran the only inn in Yorkston, after receiving a high quality Spitfire Ant blade; was very happy to give the boy and the girl a double room, and he even offered them a free dinner Of course, if the boy wanted the luxury stuff with low radiation rate, one Spitfire Ant blade was not enough

The boy let the girl rest in the room, then went out of the inn with three other blades He heard that he could sell this stuff at the grocery store for a higher price Before going, he set up some normal alarm system at the door

From the unnatural sht be trouble, but he didn't know that trouble could come so fast After he crossed an intersection, he was stopped by threeto their wooden sticks, which were ready to make trouble, he knew that they came with really bad attention

”Hey, brat! We heard that you want to sale Spitfire Ant, so our leader wants to talk with you!”

The boy hesitated a little, then followed them to a quiet and uninhabited alley Then he walked into a fairly coht be their leader, sat carelessly in the middle of the house Three people behind the boy, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, blocked the door silently

The head was clearly satisfied with the attitude of the boy, which was always lowering his head ”Brat, you can call me as Viper I heard that you have soood word No matter how many you have, I want all! Here is your remuneration!”

The boy watched a hard as a stone bread rolling to his feet He slowly bent down to pick it up, and also put three Spitfire Ant's blades on the floor Although this bread was too hard, its radiation rate wasn't so high The little girl had grown up, now she could endure this level of radiation

When he stood up straightly, he found that three people behind him didn't want to open the door The wooden sticks in their hands were already prepared

Viper also stood up, pulled a horinned: ”Brat, you are not only s the deal, I will let you go alive However, Butcher said you also brought a white skinned woman, so there aren't other ways Actually, I auess at this ti her already Well, no way, his size is as big as a ht, it's time to send you to heaven! I hope that when I coirl haven't died yet!”

At this tih the ears which rapped under the blanket, the boy heard a very faint sound This was the sound of breaking a piece of h fictional This kind of ten thousand hertz sound was so that normal human couldn't hear

He raised his head instantly Although all of his face was covered in the blanket, his left eye suddenly lit up, like a jade flame!

”You…” Viper screa sound caunshot scattered the only piece of intact glass in the roounpowder

The boy wrapped in the black blanket appeared at the door of Butcher's inn like a ghost

The inn's door made from some wooden boards was half-opened The bloody scent inside could be smelled from a very far distance In the inn, there was an unusual silence Vaguely, it see

The boy stopped at the door for an instant, then walked inside Behind him, there were numerous consecutive bloodstain

Butcher was at the door of the boy's room; his eyes stared to their limit Extremely fear solidified on his face There was only his head left, his body was

The door was half-opened Blood was pouring out like a spring from under the door, which made others feel palpitation

The boy stood in the blood His senses told hiently pushed the half-opened door, then walked inside

The girl holding her knees sat in the middle of the roo softly The black blanket, which rapped over her body usually, was thrown into the corner of the room The coarse wooden bed was also coh but clean handmade skirt; her exposed skin, whether her arh to drive , but even in the old days, she was beautiful enough to make all the man of a city became sex beasts

The room became the hell

The flesh and the limbs were scattered everywhere, which lead to alans were still peristalsis; and the as stained into black and red by blood Blood was still pouring out froments; there were even some centiure out whether the body of Butcher was here; what piece of flesh belongs to Black Bear; or how many peoples, perhaps there or four, was died in here Everything were shredded and ether

The girl was still sitting like that, sitting inside the hell made from blood and flesh

Her long gray hair fell like a waterfall, like a silk, and it was i, square edge bone chopper was stabbed on the ground On its blade, there were several holes and even so with Armored Fury Bear, which had the bone harder than molten rock; Black Bear would use this bone chopper, which was made from stainless steel

Hearing the sound froirl raised her head When she saw the boy, she immediately exposed her rainbow smile Under the sunshi+ne fro light like two bright diamonds

The boy exhaled deeply, carefully found soirl

The girl didn't pay too much attention about that She rushed to him and jumped to his chest; caused the leftover flesh to scatter around and blood to spill all the place The boy gently rubbed her grey hair; it was still soft and wared in blood, there weren't any stain on her hair

”I airl said softly Her little hands hold the wraps on the boy's body tightly, made him fell a little hurt He knew that she was really afraid, but he didn't kno to comfort her

A settle supply beca the that everyone had to face every day was surviving In front of surviving, there wasn't toleration nor sharing Anyone, in every others' eyes, could mean clean food and water

From outside of the inn, some noisy voice suddenly appeared One person yelled: ”Outsiders murdered! Butcher was died! I saw them were still inside!”

The shout was getting louder It could been heard that there were soathering around this sirl, then pulled out a well hidden Spitfire Ant's blade from the blanket This blade was cut a half, only the sharpest part was rereen light The grip of this blade was carefully htly wrapped by soh as er in the previous era

The boy gripped the blade tightly, and waited calmly for the irl also stopped sobbing, her beautiful blue eyes looked around the room, then stopped on that bone chopper She stretched her little hand to grab it; she used it very smoothly

The boy's left hand stretched out and pulled the girl back He didn't allow her to touch this bone chopper He kept the girl behind hih the as blocked by nailed wooden board, but it couldn't guarantee that someone would rush into the room from there

”Silent!” The powerful voice of sheriff came from outside The noise around immediately became quieter, which clearly showed the power of the sheriff, although it wasn't enough ”Let me see what happened first! damn it, the bloody smell is so heavy; how many people died inside?”

After one bang, the door was opened by one kick of sheriff The crowd instantly exclaimed, while the sheriff's Uzi was immediately loaded

At this ti intent came from outside: ”Scat! Get a way for Lady!”

The boy immediately heard several sound of screaround Obviously, the newco ti noise outside disappeared completely Either the residents or the sheriff, everyone was in perfect silence No one dared to make a noise, and there weren't any voice of dissension

Then a thunderous sound came and everywhere was covered in dust and sates, and roof was forcefully opened After another rattling sound, a hand in a black leather glove was inserted in the thin wall made from iron sheets This hand's owner tore the iron sheet easily and throw it 10 meters far away casually This was a tall and handsoolden short hair was bristling; it looked like a burning flaray alloy protected his chest, back, lower abdomen and a few other fatal places Below the half plate was a black unifors were sparkling This guy weren't couy was also the person who used his bare hands to de from ten meters away in a few minutes He created a five s and constructions

The boy, the girl, and the hell in the house were completely exposed for everyone

The girl raised her head and looked the crowd around dizzily This was the first tiether She instinctively feel a touch of danger; her hand tried to reach the bone chopper, but it was seized tightly again by the boy

At the irl, everyone was stunned Even the arrogant blonde bodyguard also had sonation

Everyone’s breathing sound clearly echoed in the boy’s ears and it obviously became more and more heavy He exhaled deeply then looked past the blonde bodyguard

At the beginning of the new constructed road, a horse drawn carriage parked This was a four-horse drawn carriage of the eighteenth century; its black gold body was old and elegant; and its copper lahtly It was driven by four tall horses More scarcity, all of them are albino horses

No one in the Yorkston toould have known that they were four purebred horses Anyway it didn't make any sense, because a horse was far beyond the luxury of their iination

Eight fully are Their uniforms and armor was same as the blonde's ones The only difference was the blonde uards were carrying heavy firepower gun Couns (), sheriff's Uzi subun was just a toy

Four male servants took a curl of scarlet carpet froe to in front of the boy and the girl

Inside the room there was hell from blood and flesh; when the thick scarlet carpet came inside, it immediately sunk down the blood These servants, without any hesitation, superimpose another set of ridiculously expensive carpet, until it was higher than the blood by five centimeters They only stopped when they ensured that the blood would not cah osmosis

The clothes of four servants, whether the black tuxedo, or white shi+rt with neatly knotted tie, weren't belong to this era On Yorkston town, even the upper class people were siars For exae hole, but it wasn't on the buttock, so it became a representative clothes for upper class Moreover, due to the scarcity of water, so all the residents never bathed

Unlike other people, the boy only noticed the leg of these servants They gracefully set foot on the broken pieces of extreher than the blood surface They acted lightly likes the butterflies The softened muscles on these broken pieces only subsided a little when these servants step on it Until they coot out of the room, there was only one sht polished, shi+ny black leather shoes When the boy saw that, his pupil instantly contracted

An old butler went to the carriage, opened the door slowly and gracefully Then, he spread out a white handkerchief on his arm, and stretched it out

Froance like an orchid hand put on the butler's ar sized dark sapphire, which attracted all sights The only thingnails Their shapes was impeccable, but they were decorated with black and red patterns, which

Coe was a woman dressed in old olden hair band decorated by rose patterns She looked around twenty; her light grey eyes has typical coldness of aristocratic person; her skin was dedicated enough for being hurt from the wind No matter fro standards of classical beauty

When the woe, the whole Yorkston Town exploded They forgot the people ere lying death on the ground; they squeezed each other in order to see her more clearly Most people in here had never seen a white skinned wo an old era forh to make aristocratic ladies in the old era jealous ()

Ale, to be ant and beyond the reach of the iination of everyone in Yorkston

The croere excited and agitated, pushed toward the carriage As long as staying in the group, the e Moreover, in this era, the difference between man and beast had blurred

When the group were nearly going out of the control, one bodyguard suddenly raised his gun Mini In the storunfire, hundreds of bullets easily torn the people at the front into many pieces, and cut out an empty from the croall!

This bodyguard lowered the burning heavy azine became empty; his callous face didn't show any emotion It looked like he hadn't killed dozens of people, but only dozens of cattle instead In the ears of every Yorkston's residents, the clicking sound when the bodyguard was changing the azine was too clear and icy cold The sheriff, sed his sobr difficultly, and quietly hid his Uzi behind his back

The woman didn't take a look at the e, she was always noticing the little girl She graciously raised her hand, then point her black and red fingertip to the girl, said: “I want the girl”

Her tone didn't allow any doubts nor disobedience One sentence for both the boy and her steward The old steward bowed slightly, said: ”Yes, madam”

The boy understood that was a cootiation Since the e, he always bowed his head and didn't take a look at her However, his body treer he trembled

The old steward, which orking as the woman's armrest, followed her step by step However, he walked out of the carpet carefully and respectfully Although he alking in a ruins filled by blood; his shoes were still spotless Moreover, his shoes soles didn't have any blood stain, which was completely different from the previous servants In fact, every step he walked hadn't really contacted with the ground

The woirl frohtly and carefully looked at the very delicate face of the girl After a long relief, she exhaled and praised: ”What beautiful eyes”

Since the girl was born, she was so beautiful Her beauty increased as along with her age Perhaps because of their age, the girl didn't fear, but looked to that woman curiosity

Since the beginning, the boy had been standing with his head bowed He let the woh he rapped in a thick blanket, but it couldn't hide his body tre

The woly, then nodded: ”You actually fear ood You look like a smart child and knohat you should do What kind of choice do you think that I will give you?”

The boy silenced for a moment, then said: ”I'm alive, she is yours Or I’m dead, she’s still yours”

The woman surprised because of his voice, not his answer Her voice softened a little, and asked: “Tell me your name”

”…… Su”

Before every responds, the boy always be silent for ato maintain his voice steadily

The woelina Fin Lenachsciz Today I will take that girl You couldn't protect her She can only expose and develop all of her talents at my place Re enough Okay, now, show me your face”

She leaned forward, raised the boy's jaw by the long nails on her left index finger The distance between two faces was less than ten centimeters, and the mysterious aroma on her breath even completely enveloped his face Then, she used two nails to slowly pull down the bandage wrapped around his face These bandages looked very dirty, but they didn't have any strange smell

Spike and black and red fingernails slowly moved over his skin

The old steward, as standing beside, continuously kept his head low; his eyes only saw his shoes toes Every bodyguards turned their back against the woman and the boy, slowly raised their weapons to the crowd Those dark muzzle make Yorkston residents becoh; they must also turn back to keep their lives

In extre of time turned into a proble time

No one knohen Angelina returned the bandages on the boy's face After that, she s forward to the day you come to me”

Then, Angelina took the girl to the carriage Behind her, the crisp, high pitched, unscrupulous and ahter fell like rain on the bloody red carpet

The girl didn't cry or have the slightest action of resistance But she turned her head and looked back all the way until the car door completely blocked her deep blue eyes

On the carriage s, Angelina suddenly raised the curtain, revealed half of her classical beauty face, and then said to the boy: ”At this era, the hardest thing is to live with dignity I hope that you wouldn't choose that worst way”

Until the four horse drawn carriage completely disappeared from Yorkston town, the boy slowly raised his head
