The temporary leader of the underground shelter is a powerful man. I heard that before the disaster, he was a stuntman in a well-known drama group. He has served as a stand-in for many big-name stars. He is brave, careful, and has good skills. Several of the men under him are also people who do hard work all year round, and their physiques are somewhat stronger than ordinary people.
It seems that everyone tacitly agrees that the leader collects rent from new arrivals and those who return from "hunting". Because the leader and several of his men assumed the responsibility of guarding the shelter by default, they not only had to send people on duty 24 hours a day to guard the door of the shelter, but also organized people from time to time to collect food from farther and more dangerous places. Generally speaking, this is a relatively conscientious leader, and he is rarely harsh even to ordinary people like Li Dong.
A few days later, the martial arts leader did not come back after an outing. The one who escaped was one of his three subordinates at the time. When the man came back, he was covered in blood and kept shouting about vampires and vampires, as if he had lost his mind. Crazy.
By night, the lone survivor was also dead. It seemed that the cause of death was shock caused by excessive blood loss, but an old man in the shelter said that he died of fear.
After the accident, people didn't seem panicked. Only then did Li Dong realize that the martial artist was not the first leader here. In the past three months, four of his predecessors had died while away from home.
This time, the underground garage was silent for two days, and no one took the initiative to step forward as the new leader. People are in a state of confusion, as content as rats in a sewer. Occasionally, you can find someone in the corner who is stinking, and you don't know when he died of starvation.
Most of the time, Li Dong was holding the stray cat in a daze.
He named the cat Orange.
…
Life in the underground shelter is extremely boring.
After the disaster, people were forced to escape from their original comfort zones and fell from a world of feasting and entertainment into a quiet underground space.
To this day, the disaster that began on Advent still seems like a nightmare to most people.
In order to avoid the sensitive nose of the black corpse, they lived deep in this garage area. The electrical system in the garage stopped working shortly after the disaster. Living here, the only light comes from the ventilation shaft where the oranges fell.
Although the sunshine outside is precious, the bright light also means the terrifying black corpses wandering around.
Life is precious, freedom... freedom is only meaningful to those who survive.
In the end, the brave ones walked out of the shelter, but left their lives outside forever; the timid ones stayed in the underground gathering place to rot themselves, dragging themselves step by step into the abyss...
In the shelter, some people hide in corners and cry at night; some talk incessantly, crying and laughing in their sleep; and some people sit up after sleeping for a while, as if they are often awakened by something unknown.
Most people live around the ventilation shaft, because in addition to the rare and precious light, some sounds from the outside world can also be heard from near the ventilation shaft.
From the chaos at the beginning, to the screams and monster roars that appeared from time to time, and finally to a world without even a car sound or a bird song.
Such quiet days lasted for more than two months. Except for the sound of wind at the entrance of the cave, the outside was no different from the doomsday world everyone imagined. People learned about the changes in the outside world from the mouths of people who came back from hunting, including where the corpses were restless again, and where the supermarket had been occupied by a ghost monkey...
Until the death of the martial arts leader this time, no one dared to go out. A dark and claustrophobic environment can easily make people panic and anxious. The human brain cannot access effective information for a long time. In severe cases, it may even lose its judgment of time.
After being trapped in the underground space for a long time, conflicts between people often break out.
Quarrel is the most common thing.
Just like the man in front of me who took advantage of the limited light in the day to get angry, there are always one or two every few days.
"Hey, you stinky old man, you want to die, don't you? You actually stole my things, please hand it over!"
"Young man...don't...don't be impulsive. What did you throw away? I really didn't take anything from you..."
Li Dong was woken up from his light sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man with a sinister face, grabbing an old man by the collar and getting angry.
He spat and cursed: "You old man, go out and ask around. Who dares to mess with me in Heyang? Do you know who Brother Long is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
"Young man, it's true. I only have these three or two things here. If you don't believe me, just look for them."
"No? Hiccup...then you must have hidden it. You old man, let's see if I don't beat you to death."
The man was belching wine, and there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from his body, which smelled disgusting from a distance. Li Dong knew this man and heard from others that he and his wife had gone out for "hunting". Although it was only once, they had killed a black corpse.
No one has confirmed this record for him, but people are willing not to offend this man who has seen blood on his hands, as long as he has not offended themselves.
There is another interesting thing. His wife brought back a school bag of food that day. The man
People's backpacks are filled with high-quality liquor. From this incident, Li Dong understood that this man was a complete drunkard.
"Honey, hubby, don't talk nonsense. Where did they take our things?" The man's wife hurriedly came up to start a fight. After persuading her husband, she apologized repeatedly to the security uncle, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He didn't mean to do this. "
"Get out of here!" The man raised his hand and knocked the woman over. "I'm warning you one last time, you damn old man, don't wait for me to take action, or I'll make it impossible for you to die even if you want to... Smelly bitch, don't stand in my way!"
The woman advised: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please leave quickly."
"Hey, girl, help your partner back quickly. Don't let him drink so much next time..."
But I didn't expect the man to get more and more persuasive. He pushed the woman away, pointed at the old man's nose and cursed: "Old man, it's none of your business! Say one more word and I'll pull out your tongue! You're riding a horse." , Do you know that I have killed a black corpse? If I kill you, it will be like crushing an ant to death..."
A man with a bad mouth, and an old security guard who is used to groveling and trying to make peace with others...
Li Dong used to work as a waiter in a hotel, and he was most disgusted with people who were drunk and crazy. In the end, he couldn't stand it, so he tried to persuade him: "That's alright. Drink some wine. Why are you so good?"
Reading with rice balls
Unexpectedly, the other party looked like a fox whose tail had been stepped on, angrily walking towards Li Dong, and his wife couldn't stop him.
"I'm so good, what can you do about drafting?"
"Ha." Li Dong sneered, letting the tall opponent push him.
Men are the evolvers in the direction of strengthening their strength. Since the disaster, their strength has increased threefold. They are indeed a little stronger than ordinary people. This is one of the reasons why the old security guard is unwilling to tangle with him.
"Husband, what are you doing? Little brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please leave quickly."
Li Dong said coldly: "You want to persuade me to make peace so much, why do you only stop me but not your men?"
"Get out of the way!" This kind of person pretends to be crazy while drinking. The more others pull him, the more energetic he becomes. The man looked condescendingly at the thin Li Dong, pressed the flesh of his chest against Li Dong, and said arrogantly, "You want to die, do you want to say it again?"
Li Dong sneered and decided to ignore him. He turned around and walked back to where he was, as if he had just watched a monkey show.
Unexpectedly, when the man saw him turning around, he took advantage of it. He took out a machete with one big hand and struck Li Dong head-on.
"嚓——"
Unexpectedly, the sword was blocked by Li Dong's raised arm, preventing him from making any progress. The next moment, Li Dong turned around and grabbed the man with his other hand. The tips of his five fingers were sharper than an eagle's claws, and he instantly grabbed the man's intestines.
"Ah!" Blood splashed on the woman's face, causing her to scream.
The pain made the man wake up instantly. He saw reddish-brown horny armor all over Li Dong's arms, as if he had seen a lizard man.
"Ability..." Before the ability user could say a word, Li Dong suddenly withdrew his right hand, and the sharp pain made the man almost faint.
The woman's screams continued, but Li Dong knelt down and said to the man: "I originally thought I was trash, but I'm still far inferior to you, haha."
"Spare...spare my life..."
The man was finally afraid. Maybe he wasn't drunk in the first place, he was just acting crazy with alcohol and wanted to bully the weak to vent his anger, but unexpectedly he provoked the strong.
He was afraid, and he knew that he was no match for Li Dong. At this moment, his mind went blank. He didn't want to die, but he couldn't think of any way to save him. He wanted to beg for mercy, but unfortunately Li Dong didn't give him such a chance.
He stood up slowly, suddenly raised one foot and stepped down hard.
"Click——"
It was the sound of bones being crushed, and milky white liquid mixed with blood spurted all over the ground.
"Everyone says that I, Li Dong, am an ungrateful dog. That dog is very hungry and doesn't care about meat and vegetables. It's okay to eat a garbage man like you. After all, dogs can't change their eating of shit, don't you think?"
Li Dong squatted down and rummaged through the red and white paste to find a red crystal nucleus. Then he threw the crystal core into his mouth, clicked it a few times like chewing jelly beans, and quickly raised his head and swallowed it.
"As for you," he looked at the crying woman and said coldly, "Maybe you thought you did the right thing, but in my opinion you didn't do enough. What's the use of just apologizing? Can it stop you? Can your husband’s evil deeds prevent innocent people from being harmed? Maybe you still protect him in your heart, haha.”
He squatted down again, pinched the man's cheek, stared into the other person's eyes and said, "You are also at fault for improper discipline, right? How about sharing the punishment with the same crime? And I don't like to cut off the grass and leave the roots."
Same punishment...are you going to kill me?
Out of fright, the woman suddenly stopped crying.
Unexpectedly, Li Dong patted her cheek and said with a smile: "Haha, I lied to you. Do you think I look like a villain who kills without blinking an eye?"
The woman burst into laughter and said hurriedly: "It's not like..."
But before he could say anything, he was stabbed through the heart with a dagger.
She looked at Li
Dong's eyes were half filled with disbelief, half filled with fear and resentment.
"Congratulations, you got the wrong answer." Li Dong said with a smile, "But 'I'm so sorry, please leave quickly'."
"You go, why don't you go..."
It wasn't until he confirmed that the woman's pupils were dilated that Li Dong stood up and shouted to the shadow not far away: "Orange, it's time for us to leave if she doesn't leave."
A small orange animal sprang out of the dark corner with sparkling eyes and full of intelligence. It followed Li Dong and slowly walked out of the door.
After the man and the beast left the underground shelter, the remaining people looked at the two corpses, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
…
"Say you want to let me go? Do you really think of me as a wild dog?"
"You are very good. Your abilities are improving very quickly. Congratulations on basically passing the test."
"Are you spying on me?"
"Young man, it is your honor to be noticed by a divine being."
In a forest far away from the underground shelter, Li Dong knelt in front of a man in black robes and spat out blood-streaked spit.
"Bah! Divine enlightenment? You deserve it too!"
He looked like he had been through a battle, his clothes were torn, occasionally revealing wounds from sword blades, and the dripping blood dyed the material around his waist red. And the man in black robe who used a broad sword to pierce Li Dong's horny armor turned out to be Gu Cheng, who Lang Hua was suspicious of and had disappeared!
After escaping all the way, fighting all the way, crawling and rolling in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Li Dong, who has now reached the peak of the second level, is still being beaten by Gu Cheng at this moment. What's more, during the fight, Li Dong realized that the other party did not want his life, so he did not use all his strength.
It was a huge insult to Li Dong to try his best and still be teased like this!
He raised his head, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a stream of purple mist, and then launched a fatal blow at Gu Cheng, who was very close at hand.
"Kill-Dragon Claws!"
The fingers and claws of this hand are extremely long, like a sharp sickle. Li Dong used it to disembowel many prey along the way, without any disadvantage.
But who expected that Gu Cheng snorted coldly, dispersed the poisonous mist, and easily grasped the opponent's claws. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move any further.
"Huh, what a small skill."
In terms of "giant power" ability, Gu Cheng is the real master.
With a "wow" sound, the branches behind Gu Cheng swayed, and a creature crossed the afterimage, stretched out its sharp claws and rushed toward the back of Gu Cheng's neck.
He seemed to have eyes behind him. At this critical moment, Gu Cheng kicked Li Dong away, turned around and caught the little creature that dared to sneak attack him.
"Meow-"
There was a shrill scream. Gu Cheng took a closer look and saw that it was a wild cat in the early stage of the first level. It seems that he has speed-type abilities.
He slowly exerted force in his hands, and the black beast kitten immediately screamed in pain. It struggled to escape, but was firmly grasped by Gu Cheng's iron-like hands. Within seconds, you could hear the creaking sound of bones and joints rubbing against each other.
"tangerine!"
Li Dong screamed with his eyes widened. Gu Cheng found it interesting and threw away this little guy who was not a threat.
He then walked up to Li Dong step by step, looked at him condescendingly, and said: "Li Dong, God has given you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you follow God's instructions and become a glorious member of our Illuminati Society, If you dedicate everything you have to the gods wholeheartedly, you will have a chance to receive divine enlightenment! Come on, we will build a new world order together!"
After listening to Gu Cheng's words, Li Dong gasped and retorted viciously: "I want your bullshit divine enlightenment? I'm kidding. If I kill you, all your things will be mine, and I will chew your crystal core to pieces. Eat it. I wonder if you will still act so condescending to me at that time?"
"You are very unruly, and I like you very much." Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and threatened unabashedly, "But since I can save your life, I can naturally kill you."
"Then you'd better not let me go, or one day, I will ask you to taste the feeling of being stepped on!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Gu Cheng suddenly put his hands on his hands and laughed, "I'm waiting for that day to come."
He left a backpack for Li Dong and turned around to leave, leaving behind another sentence.
"These potions count as my franchise fee. Li Dong, from now on I will grant you the status of a member of the Illuminati. If you are in trouble one day, you may as well come to the Gu family in Liao Province to find me."
Rather than carrying a backpack, the first thing Li Dong did when he got up was to find the poor black beast kitten Orange.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng spared his hand, otherwise this little guy wouldn't still be alive.
He squatted down and picked up the cat, buried his face in the fluff on the cat's back, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, Orange."
The cat responded with a faint purr.
Li Dong's tears flowed out instantly.
Between the orange fur, there is the warm smell of sunshine.
"Let's go, mom...still waiting for us to go home."
