Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 454 Experiments on Humans and Light
"We have to go further north. When we leave the city, we will be the last group of people, and we can no longer occupy a good place. And we don't know how long we will be outside. If we go further north, where there is no one, I can cut down some trees and build a cabin in a few days.”

Weimar held his youngest son in his arms and dragged a wooden cart with a rope tied around his waist.I cut the tires myself, and I stumbled a lot along the way and bumped my legs several times.

There were food wrapped in tarpaulins piled on it, given by the boy I met in the villa area before.

They only got some food in the end and most of it was shared by others.

Several older children tried to snatch away the toy-like armbands on their son's wrists, which were also given by the boy, but they were scared away.

Weimar held the sleeping child tightly on his shoulder with one hand, and pulled the rope backward with the other hand.

His wife, wrapped in a headscarf and carrying a package on her back, followed closely behind her husband, extending her hand from time to time to support the bumpy cart.

They were walking on a side road, and the temporary tents spread out down the slope in the distance spread endlessly, giving people a very crowded feeling.

People from all walks of life are crowded together, and there is no difference between slums and rich areas. Domestic garbage has accumulated to an unmanageable level in just one day, and noise and curses are everywhere.

Guards riding tall horses ran along the roads marked by police cordons to suppress people's commotion.

There are many people who are ready to leave the camp and find their own way.

But no one dared to turn back to the city, because people could already see the destruction caused by the monster in the city, the smoke and dust and the fire of the explosion.

As well as the air explosion caused by the man-made giant Troy arriving at the battlefield at extremely fast speeds from beneath the mountains. Until now, some people have not recovered, and there is a buzzing sound in their ears from time to time, which is difficult to dissipate.

All these situations clearly show that the interior of the city has become a battleground for giants and monsters. Human beings, no matter what their status is, be it princes, nobles or beggars, cannot survive in that inhuman battlefield.

Some people have even begun to be wary that they have moved away from the city, but are these distances really safe?

Several young people, whose clothes were a little shabby and had many patches sewn on, squatted at a distance and watched the people leaving.

The weather is already a bit wet and cold, and it looks like it will rain in a few hours.

They were workers in a nearby factory. However, after the emergency shutdown, they, who were not formal workers, had no dormitories and were kicked out. They could not go home to get things. They could only rely on the few pieces of dry bread distributed by the city hall. Starve these young men to death.

"Patika, that uncle has a wound on the right side of his leg. I see that there are a lot of supplies on the cart he is pulling. Even if there is no food, we still have to find some clothes, otherwise we will get cold and sick at night. Those doctors who are greedy for money , won’t treat us.”

Soleil drew close to his friend, and Patika was the strongest of them all, and also more reckless.

Patika didn't speak for a long time. Soleri shrank his neck in embarrassment and tightened his clothes and was about to leave. Suddenly he was grabbed. Patika said slowly:
"Wait a little longer, the guards will still be able to see this place, and if there is any confusion, they will be able to arrive soon on horseback."

Soley's face lit up, and his cold body felt energetic, and he hurriedly went to find other brothers to prepare.

Soon, they were following the crowd leaving the camp, following the Weimar.

Until I came to a forest.

Weimar planned to find a shady place to dig a hole as the main space of the wooden house, which saved nearly half of the tree felling and only needed to build a stable roof.

He is a professional carpenter, but when he was making a wooden cabinet for a noble man, a naughty kid from that family pushed the cabinet and hit his foot, causing some injuries.

His son Sigma stayed beside his mother obediently, watching her prepare the food.

Weimara started the gasoline bolt saw, the prototype of the chainsaw for later generations.If it was chopped down with an ax, the shed would not be erected tonight.

He collected the gasoline from cars on the road. Fortunately, not many people paid attention to him at that time and he was not caught as a thief.

At noon, the weather cleared up for a while, but clouds visible to the naked eye were gathering nearby. When the clouds cover the sun again, it will rain.

A few shadows suddenly blocked the precious sunlight in the forest, casting a cold and ruthless gaze.

"Give us the food and warm clothes, leave the tools, and I'll let you go. Now go back to the camp, and you can still arrive before night."

Patika, who was 1.9 meters tall, walked forward slowly. He was a little wary of the buzzing bolt saw in the hand of this lame man. It was best not to get hurt and just force these people to go away.

Wei Ma stepped forward to protect his wife and son behind him. He was a little nervous. Before he could speak, he heard his son's childish voice:
"You big bad guys! Ultraman will defeat you all, biubiubiu——!"

"Aha—cough cough, hahaha—!"

Behind Patica, Suo Leyi was amused by this statement, and the people in the company also laughed, as if they heard something funny.

"Do you know why I was kicked out of school last year?" Soleri said proudly, "Because I robbed those toys and cards from those rich kids. I really don't understand, what's so fun about those plastic dolls?" Yes, those cards too, the most expensive one was actually worth ten loaves of bread. My father worked for two days to earn one of those rubbish printed products, and in the end he died of illness without money for medical treatment. Are you still counting on Otto? Man will come to save you? Come on, he’s busy fighting monsters.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his companions began to take out the stones prepared in advance from their pockets, swinging them in their hands, and kept approaching Wei Ma.

Only a fool would fight with him in close combat. Throwing stones can take the cripple at his fingertips.

"Wait a moment!"

Weimar shouted, "You can take these food and clothes, and then you can go back to the refuge camp by yourself."

He is ready to wait for these people to leave and build a new hut in another place. As long as he is lucky in the wild, at least he will not starve to death.But in the tense environment of an asylum camp, it's the people around you who are the most dangerous.

Patika shook his head and said: "No, leave the tools too. You'd better decide quickly, otherwise, we will capture your wife and children, force you to help us build a shack, and then let you go."

Weimar slowly put down the tools in his hands in despair, turned back to protect his family, and was about to leave this area slowly.

After a few minutes, it started to rain.

Weimar held on to his coat to protect his wife and children. He was exposed to the heavy rain and walked towards the evacuation camp.

They successfully passed through the camp wall, but could not find a suitable tent and could only hide under the canteen shed where lunch had been distributed.

"Daddy, I'm hungry!"

Sigma hadn't eaten for a day, and they had plenty of food.After being robbed, nothing was left.

"Keep an eye on him, I'll go find something to eat."

After kissing his wife's forehead, Weimar stood up and reluctantly squeezed the water from his clothes, and walked into the heavy rain again.

He could only hope to risk finding some food in the nearest woods to barely satisfy his hunger.

Sigma was hugged by her mother, clutching the armband on her arm, not knowing whether it was her own body temperature that warmed the armband, or the armband itself was exuding a little bit of warmth.

Until there was a terrible roar in the sky, and a huge black shadow came from the sky and even tore apart the rain curtain of the downpour, causing a brief rainless period and rustling most of the tents.

Some of the guards outside the tents were blown up by the strong wind, including their men and horses, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Then the heavy rain resumed, and in the violent storm that filled the sky, the huge black figure revealed its crimson demon-like pupils, mercilessly looking down at this gathering nest of humans.

"Monster! It's a monster!"

Shouts of shrill fear broke the terrible tightening, and the whole camp was inevitably thrown into confusion.

Patika and his party saw the arrival of the behemoth from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little happy. They hid in the woods and were indifferent to the fate of those of their kind.

They were originally a group of people who were ignored by the public in society. Now that they are ignoring this society in turn, there is no problem.
