The town is not big, and no building is intact. It is like a bomb that has just been hit. If there were no polluters in the town, it would be no different from a dead city.

A few people walked into the town. The asphalt road was very dirty. In addition to the piles of messy debris, the road surface was bumpy. There was black water in the pits. Fist-sized green flies surrounded the smelly water and made a buzzing sound.

From time to time, a few mutant wild dogs emerged from the debris. Their green eyes stared at Xu Jingzhe and his friends. They swung their limbs and let out a low roar. They dared not move forward.

On both sides of the asphalt road, there were piles of garbage, which were no different from slums.

On the garbage mountain, there were many mutant children looking for food. They were disheveled and naked. Their black skin and dirty and numb faces stared at Xu Jingzhe and his friends who suddenly appeared with a pair of empty eyes.

"Food, food, I saw it first!"

"Let go! This is mine!"

A dark-skinned, crew-haired little boy screamed loudly. He wrestled with a group of people who rushed over. He was weak, but he didn't care about the dense fists.

Xu Jingzhe stopped and turned his head to look at the chaotic scene of seven or eight children besieging one child.

Five minutes later, the little boy sat on the ground, covered with wounds, blood flowing down his wounds. There was no pain in his eyes, but unyielding and angry. He was too weak.

Why, he and his sister were both children born in the ruins town. They were not mutated, and their strength was pitifully small. They couldn't even beat a three-year-old mutated child.

His father left the ruins town two years before his mother. He remembered it very clearly one morning two years later.

The sky that day was gray, just like most of the time, the sky in the polluted area was gray, and it was drizzling.

His mother, wearing her favorite white dress, opened the door in tattered clothes, with scars all over her body, holding a piece of meat from an unknown animal in her hands, with a faint heat.

It smelled very good, very good. He and his sister, who were growling with hunger, had a deep and inextricable happiness on their faces, jumping around their mother. In his memory, it was the first time they had such delicious barbecue.

Their mother sat aside, with love in her eyes, quietly watching the two of them eat up all the barbecue.

Then, his mother took his hand and gently stroked his hair, over and over again.

The corners of his mother's mouth began to bleed. He was terrified and wanted to rush out to find someone to help, but his hand was tightly grasped by his mother's scarred hand. She slowly held him in her arms and said to him: "Mom is going to find Dad. You are the older brother. After Mom leaves, take good care of your sister for Mom, okay?"

"You will do it, right? You will definitely do it."

He didn't cry, not a single tear fell. He got up from his mother's arms, squatted down, hugged his mother, looked at his sister who was still licking her fingers, and whispered: "Okay, Mom."

He stood up, found a rag on the garbage mountain, wiped the blood off his face and body casually, and wanted to continue looking for food.

He felt a few eyes on him, and the little boy looked at Xu Jingzhe stubbornly.

"Here." Xu Jingzhe took out a fruit from the space storage and motioned him to come over.

The little boy swallowed his saliva and stood on the garbage mountain, struggling violently in his heart.

Others who were looking for food not far away also saw the fruit in Xu Jingzhe's hand, and there was a glimmer of light in their empty eyes. The meaning of their lives was to find food. If they couldn't find food, they would die.

Others were eager to move.

Feeling the sense of compulsion emanating from Vladimir, they tried their best to suppress their desires. People who made a living in the ruined town were the most capable of reading people's eyes, even if they were still children.

The wounded little boy couldn't resist the temptation of food after all. He walked down the garbage mountain step by step, slowly walked to Xu Jingzhe, raised his head, and looked at Xu Jingzhe.

This scene is rare. A handsome man of 1.78 meters, dressed very cleanly, looked very fair, stood straight, holding a fruit in his hand.

Opposite him was a child of only eight or nine years old, with dark skin and scars all over his body. He was naked, raised his head, and spread a dirty palm, waiting to look at the man in front of him who looked like a god for alms.

Deep in the little boy's eyes, there was a light beating.

"Here you go." Xu Jingzhe bowed slightly and put the fruit in the little boy's hand.

The fruit, which exuded a faint fruity fragrance, was larger than the little boy's palm. He stared at the fruit and swallowed his saliva.

Suddenly, the little boy held the fruit and ran desperately along the bumpy asphalt road, like a life-and-death duel.

At the same time, behind him, seven or eight children of similar age rushed down, chasing the little boy, trying to snatch the fruit from his hand.

The little boy ran, and there was wind in his ears...

Xu Jingzhe and his friends continued to walk in. The further they went, the more potholes there were on the asphalt road, and the higher and more garbage piled on both sides. However, the people who were looking for food had changed from children to adults. They looked up and looked coldly at Xu Jingzhe and his friends who were passing by.

More men's eyes were full of lust and greed, wandering over Zhang Manyue and Li Haha, from top to bottom, from small to top, inside and out.

They wanted to rush down immediately, strip them of their clothes, and execute them on the spot.

Li Haha got goose bumps all over his body and felt very uncomfortable, but Zhang Manyue turned a blind eye and didn't care.

Just then, the little boy appeared in the sight of Xu Jingzhe and the others again. This time, he had a smile on his dark face. He rushed to Xu Jingzhe, put his hands on his waist, took a few deep breaths, and looked up and said, "Can you... come with me?"

Digging for food in the garbage mountain, he has developed extraordinary speed and recovery ability.

His tone was very sincere, and he looked up at Xu Jingzhe.

"Okay." Xu Jingzhe nodded and followed the little boy.

Passing between the two garbage mountains, this is an extremely narrow and cramped path. If you are not careful, you will get stained with garbage. Li Haha covered his nose, frowned, and vomited several times.

"Ugh..." She almost couldn't help it.

The little boy walked in front, looked back at a few people apologetically, and his speed increased, quickly crossing this path that he usually walked alone.

Not long after, a black river appeared, with all kinds of garbage floating in it. The end of the path is the river, and a single-plank bridge connects the end of the path. The little boy walked over and waited for Xu Jingzhe and his friends on the other side of the river.

The wooden board had rotted and could not bear Xu Jingzhe's weight. He jumped lightly and came to the boy. The boy looked at Xu Jingzhe with envy.

He turned around and pointed to the small wooden house made of wooden boards and said: "That's my home."

Beside the black river, a dirty little girl of five or six years old was playing in the mud.
