Throne of Shadows

After cleaning the basement, Dongchen gently stroked the little angel's cute face, covered her with a quilt, turned and walked out of the room.

"I'll go with you." Holding Dong Chen's hand, Christina, who was waiting outside the door, had stubbornness in her eyes and voice.

"Be obedient and stay, they need you."

"No! You stay, I'll go." Christina shook her head: "Your resistance is too weak, once you get infected..."

"I'll be careful..." Dongchen broke away from Christina's hand, scratched her nose, and walked towards the stairs.

"I have blood gene, maybe I won't be infected, let me go."

The limp body was pressed against the back, and in front of the chest were two slender hands clasped tightly together.

The stairway leading from the basement to the outside suddenly fell silent, only the breathing of the two remained.

"Hey, wait for me to come back..."

A gust of wind blew by, and Christina, who had empty hands, leaned against the door and sat on the ground, with her head deeply buried between her knees.

"They left it to you." At the door of the grocery store, Dongchen slowly passed by the scientific monster who arranged things.

"……Be careful."

The cold moonlight shrouded the town, and Dongchen walked slowly on the street.He decided to get some food first, although doing so was somewhat wicked, but Dongchen had no choice but to be cruel.

"If people do not do what they want, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

The door of the house was broken open, and the gray-faced woman looked in horror at the man who entered without invitation, and hurriedly backed away.

Dongchen sighed, feeling that the world is really small.

"What are you doing? I have nothing."

The woman was holding a small pot, and she couldn't help stepping back.

Dongchen found a few pieces of meat inside, as well as the woman's sharp nails and flaky skin.

Something is wrong with those meats!

A lightning-like thought hit his mind, and Dong Chen broke out in cold sweat, and his clothes were drenched in a short time.

"No! Our meat is fine, it should be the group of knights, they are wounded, and then..."

In order to confirm his thoughts, Dongchen rushed out, he wanted to go to a few more houses...

The woman watched Dong Chen's leaving figure, hurriedly stuffed the meat into her mouth, and chewed it, which was originally her food for the next two days.

One after another, the doors of the houses were opened, and Dongchen wandered in a daze.

Disaster-like facts, ruthlessly told Dongchen that the thing he was least willing to believe happened happened.

"Is there a lottery?"

The doors of eight houses were broken, and five of them were in trouble.Walking on the desolate street, Dongchen felt that the moonlight was strangely cold.

"This situation, let alone a week, can't last for three days. Food, damn food."

Maybe……

In the mercenary bar, Dongchen looked at Zieg: "I want food."

"Why?"

The two who could still sit and drink together before became passers-by.

"Take back the steering wheel, and I'll ask Bird to help you fix the car first."

Ziggy looked at Dong Chen playfully, shook his glass lightly, and suddenly said, "You've discovered what's going on outside, right?"

His eyes narrowed instantly, with a cold light, Dongchen nodded.

Zig slammed the wine glass on the table: "Do you take me for a fool?"

"Three days!"

Dongchen stretched out three fingers: "I need food for three days, and then we'll get the steering wheel. Staying here is a dead end."

Zig stared at Dongchen, with bloodshot eyes, Dongchen looked at him without dodging.

"Give him food for three days."

"Three days for four people." Dong Chen refused to budge.

"For three people, that child doesn't count." Zieg excluded Annie without hesitation.

Dong Chen looked at him with serious eyes and nodded.

The bag containing the meat strips was placed on the table, Dongchen opened it to have a look, then turned and left.

"Action tomorrow morning."

Hearing the voice behind him, Dong Chen raised his hand to express his understanding.

Looking at Dongchen leaving with a bag, a mercenary looked at Zieg angrily: "Why did you give him the meat?"

"Because I want him to work hard, and I want his people to fix the car. If you can fix the car, I'll give you the meat. If you can't, just shut up for me."

"He killed Jack." The mercenary was red-eyed. Jack was his friend and best friend since he was a child. Jack once saved his life.

Zigg kicked him away: "Be sober, I! Everyone knows what these monsters are. Whoever is hurt, treat yourself like a man. Don't look back My own people have been killed. Do you understand?"

The large and thick Alpha Alloy Knife spun around twice and placed it on his shoulders. Zieg glanced around viciously: "Tomorrow, let's fight those monsters with all our might. Rest well tonight. Besides, what else do you want to tell me?" Things, let’s talk about it in advance. If it can be done, the surviving brothers will try their best to do it.”

With a bang, the mercenaries looked at the closed door and looked at each other, all silent.For a long time... I don't know who raised the glass first.

"There is today, there is no tomorrow, do it!"

Tonight is destined to be crazy.

At the grocery store, Dongchen put the meat aside, and Begobird said with a dark face, "Is it so bad?"

"I'm going to let them go when the time comes. Let's see the situation before making a decision." Dongchen said something he didn't believe.

Begobird smiled: "They are not fools, how could they be cannon fodder."

"Someone will always do it. When the time comes, you fix the car, and I don't believe they won't run away." Dong Chen said harshly.

"What about the food?" Christina looked at the food that Dong Chen brought back, and asked the most urgent question.

That's right... say one thousand, say ten thousand, if the food problem is not solved, everything will be in vain.You can't touch those things that the ghost knows you don't feel infected, so go all out.

The three of them were silent, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing...

The corner of Dong Chen's mouth suddenly raised slightly: "I will find a way."

Both Christina and Begobird felt a chill.From the beginning of their acquaintance with Dongchen, they felt that Dongchen was very mysterious and complicated.They can be said to be the closest people to Dongchen now.However, they couldn't understand some of Dongchen's actions.For example this time...

What is this guy up to?

Dawn breaks, the sun rises.

"Be careful of those mercenaries, I won't come back, don't trust them."

"Understood, be careful." Christina carefully arranged Dongchen's clothes.

Dongchen looked at her lovingly, then turned his head slowly, and looked at Begoberd. The eyes of the two men met in mid-air, and there was a silent understanding.

Put the sword in your left hand and move forward.Dongchen walked towards the mercenary bar facing the morning light, with his teammates looking at him with concern behind him.

"Brother, be careful, Annie is waiting for you to come back." The little angel waved his hand lightly, Dongchen stopped, turned back to send a smile to his teammates, and left facing the wind.

My mission has not been completed, my path has not come to an end, as long as there are you behind me, I will not fall, never, never!
