Chapter 2 The Weak Have No Dignity(1/2)

Not long after he fell asleep in a daze, Li Ba was awakened by a noise, turned over and sat up, and cursed: "These messes are still not allowed to sleep!" He just pulled a fat suckling pig in his dream and was about to feast on it. He was woken up by someone, and he was angry in his heart.

When I walked out the door, it was already dark, looking through the moonlight, I saw six or seven skinny men in the distance, attacking the old and the young.

"Old guy is almost out of reach!"

"Kill him! I'll have meat tonight!"

Those men were like wild beasts, with greedy eyes emitting greed gazes, pounced on the old man lying on the ground, ripping and cursing, as if crazy. A small figure next to him kept trying to stop them, trying to block these wild beasts from letting them invade the old man on the ground.

People eat people!

It is already very common in the end of the world. Such evil things happen every day in the refugee camps outside the city. Li Ba is powerless to stop them, nor is he intent to stop them. People have long been tortured by this damn world.

"Give me a little less noise! ​​I'm so angry that I'll chop you into meat sauce and steamed buns to eat!"

Li Ba raised his voice and scolded him. His slap is rare in refugee camps, and he is a human being with his tail in the city, but no one dares to provoke him here so far. This is also the reason why those women called him "Baye". In fact, Li Ba's name is domineering, but he is not domineering at all. He is timid by nature, smooth in dealing with things, and never meddling in other people's business.

If these guys hadn't shattered his dream, I'm afraid even yelled out this voice.

Not to mention, his domineering figure and loud voice really made those guys afraid and stopped. But when he turned around and walked into the house, the beast-like guys rushed towards the old and the young again.

"Help! Help!"

The cry for help passed through the gaps in the wooden boards of the shed and fell into Li Ba's ears. He showed an untiring expression on his face, lay down directly, covered his ears with his hands, and continued his dream.

The second rule of survival in the end of the world is to do not meddle in other people's business and not cause trouble, so that you can live long.

"Ahh, this kid turns out to be a young man!"

"Brothers, I have fun tonight... I'll do this little one first, have fun, and then enjoy her tender skin and flesh. The taste is absolutely first-class!"

"Help--"

The cry for help and the wild beasts burst into laughter, which was heard in Li Ba's ears. When he let go of his hands covering his ears, he immediately heard the little girl's shrill scream.

"These beasts!"

In his mind, long-standing memories emerged, which was the pain of Li Ba's life. At this moment, an indescribable anger appeared on his fat face. He took out a dagger from under the bed with his backhand and walked out strode.

When he arrived, the old man was already lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, his lips trembling constantly, as if he wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't even shout a word. Several other beast-like men were pulling the clothes of a boy with short hair. The boy struggled desperately, and his sharp voice betrayed "him". It turned out to be a little girl.

Several beasts were enjoying the pleasure of the prey struggling with death, but they didn't pay any attention. Li Ba had arrived quickly.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Although Li Ba was heavy, he took action with anger at this moment, his movements were neat and cruel. He used a dagger to penetrate the heart with three times in a row. The three guys were suddenly hit by a fatal blow, and his body fell limp, blood was rising, and he died immediately. There were a few guys left. At first sight, he saw Li Ba holding a dagger with murderous aura, so scared that he ran away.

Li Ba did not chase after him and killed three people in a row. He felt no guilt in his heart, but instead felt uneasy. He stepped forward to help the little girl up, and he asked, "Are you okay?" Through the moonlight, he saw that the little girl's face was dirty and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. She was just a pair of big eyes that were particularly bright and transparent, with tears in her eyes, which was adorable.

"grandfather!"

The little girl pulled the broken clothes and barely covered her body. Then she ran to the old man who was lying on the ground and started crying loudly. Li Ba walked over. He only glanced at him and decided that the old man had only half a breath and could not live long.

"It's good to die! Stay away from this damn end of the world, and be less painful, it's also considered relief!"

He felt sad inexplicably, and squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and comforted silently.

"Hihe..." The old man saw him squatting down, and he seemed to be reviving, his throat squirming, trying desperately to make a sound.

"Old man, what do you want to say? Take your time and don't be anxious." At this moment, Li Ba seemed to have forgotten the laws of survival that he believed in. He showed a rare look of pity on his face and his ears leaned over.

"Give it... for you... you... you... are... good people... take care of it..." The old man said these words intermittently. Before he could say the most critical word, he tilted his head and died. Before he died, he actually grabbed Li Ba's hand and stuffed something. It was a bracelet with an ancient style, with many strange patterns engraved on it. It looked like an old thing, which was the antique in the same-word.

"This broken thing is not edible, so you give it to me...I want me to take care of her for you, is it possible?"

Li Ba was calm at this moment and felt a little regretful. He took care of this idiot and caused trouble. He watched the old man die with his eyes open and stared at him. He was confused in his heart, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "I promised you!"

After saying this, it was really strange. The old man's wide eyes slowly closed, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

People's hearts are full of flesh!

This situation makes Li Ba, who adheres to the laws of survival in the last days, feel sad. In the last days, people's hearts are sinister, and those who are inferior to animals exist, and those who depend on each other and live and die together.

"Maybe, I really should do a good thing, which is worthy of the old man... His words, I am a good person!"

Li Ba picked up the old man's body and walked towards the night. The little girl stopped crying, as if she knew what he was going to do, and followed closely behind.

After walking out of the refugee camp, Li Ba found an open space, picked up some firewood, and cremated the old man's body. There are all kinds of despicable people in the refugee camp. If the old man's body is buried, it is inevitable that someone will dig the grave and have the idea of ​​the body, or cremate it, and it will be over.

In the blazing fire, the old man's body turned into ashes bit by bit. The little girl cried silently. Li Ba saw it and gently held her in his arms, saying softly: "In this damn world, your grandfather's going, may not be a good thing for him!"

The little girl stopped crying and raised her head, looking at him with big eyes and without blinking. After a long time, she nodded as if she had understood it.

"Girl, what's your name?"

"Detective."

"Are you Ever?"

"Um!"

"Uh~~ I still have half a piece of steamed bun here, so take it to eat!"

Looking at the little girl named Yan'er and eating bran steamed buns, Li Ba swallowed, his stomach felt hungry, and his face showed an indescribable bitter smile.

The next morning, the wooden door creaked open. Li Ba walked out listlessly and glanced at him. The bodies of the three guys who were stabbed to death by him yesterday had already disappeared.

"You should have realized that you will be eaten by others!"

Li Ba shook his head, turned around and said to the room, "Girl, I'm going to work. Stay at home and don't run around. Uncle Li brings you delicious food tonight!"

Uncle Li was the name of the little girl Yan'er who saved last night. After hearing it for the first time, Li Ba was so amused and crying, thinking that if I really had Uncle Li's ability to be useless, I wouldn't have fallen into this place.

After thinking about it, Li Ba still accepted the title of Uncle Li calmly. He looked at the bracelet worn on his left wrist. Under the morning sunlight, a faint silver halo appeared. I heard that someone in the city bought gold and silver. The bracelet should look silver. If you use it, you might be able to exchange for some food.

Li Ba thought he was not a good bird. But after spending a night together, he found that he and his wife were particularly close to each other, so he couldn't explain the specific reason clearly, but he felt that this little girl was particularly pleasing.

Since he took the bracelet, he didn't want the old man to die with his eyes open, and turned into an evil ghost and pestered him every day. In addition, he had a relationship with his beloved man, so he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to take care of the little girl for the old man.

In the end of the world, Li Ba himself could not survive. Now he brought a bottle of oil, and the hardships could be predicted without thinking about them.

"Oh, take one step, count it!"

He sighed lightly and was about to start construction. But at this moment, a thin figure ran out from the house, gently pulling the corner of his clothes with his little hand, and never letting go.

"You want to be with me?"

"Um."

Seeing the little girl's big eyes full of begging, Li Ba thought about it and agreed. The refugee camp was too chaotic, and the little girl stayed at home alone, so it was hard to guarantee that she would not be targeted by those sucking animals. It might be safer to keep it by her side.

"Let's go!"

Touched Yan'er's head, two figures, one big and one small, walked slowly towards the morning sun.

The Xibu settlement has an inner city outside city. The inner city is a settlement. The outer city has just been built and is an arc-shaped protective wall. The upper floors of the settlement imitate a urn built by the ancient city wall, mainly used to resist zombies. Li Ba works in the outer city. In order to prevent problems before it happens, the upper floors of the settlement decide to strengthen the outer city wall. In this way, even if the corpse tide comes, there are two city walls to guard it, especially the outer wall is strong, which can effectively resist.

Even if it cannot be resisted, there is still barrier between the inner city walls, so there will be enough time for the survivors of the settlement to evacuate.

Outside the city gate, two armed police officers and soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms, holding guns, were looking at the coolies coming from all directions from the refugee camp, with indifferent expressions on their faces. Even if Li Ba brought a small bottle of oil, he was not stopped. There were many coolies in the outer city, so they did not need to be guarded. There were guards in the inner city, with real guns and real ammunition. As long as the refugees were found to have any overpass, they would shoot them immediately.

The end of the world makes people feel cold, and even these soldiers are no exception.

Thousands of laborers flocked into the outer city and came to different directions of the city wall according to their respective jobs. Li Ba's work location was on the south wall. When he came with Yan'er, he saw several people sitting in the shed in the distance, all wearing camouflage uniforms and fully equipped. The fat on his face immediately trembled and he trotted over.

"Good morning, brother, Super morning! Good morning, everyone!"

The fatigue of last night did not make Li Ba smile slightly less. He bent his body and nodded and said hello to the people in the shed like a pug. Among them, he was particularly enthusiastic to the guy sitting on the table with his legs crossed his legs, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Fat Zhu Li, who is working today, why are you still taking care of a child?" The guy sitting at the table said slowly. His fair face looked at Li Ba who nodded and bowed in front of him, and showed a sinister smile.

This guy is named Li Chao. Speaking of which, he is Li Ba's colleague, but the relationship between the two parties is not very good. Before the end of the world, Li Ba had a manager and two deputy managers. In addition to Li Ba, the other deputy manager was Li Chao. Both parties had been secretly competing in their work. After the manager was promoted, his position was taken over by Li Ba after a lot of competition, and Li Chao held a grudge.

Originally, Li Ba took control of the business department and had the opportunity to kick Li Chao away, so he was not afraid of the other party's jealousy. Unexpectedly, the plot was a big reversal, and the damn doomsday came. Li Chao didn't know what luck he had, but he actually woke up and became an evolver, while Li Ba was an ordinary person. He had grudges and revenge, and when he fled that day, Li Chao wanted to destroy Li Ba more than once. Due to the fact that there were several evolutionists in the same team, two of them were colleagues in the company. If the move was too obvious, they would inevitably be despised by their colleagues. In this way, they escaped from Wucheng and came to the settlement of Xibu. Li Chao was valued because of his identity as an evolver, and he was a hot drink, and had no worries about food and clothing. Li Ba fell into a refugee camp outside the city and survived.

When Li Ba joined the coolie labor army, Li Chao received news from somewhere and took the initiative to take the position of the city defense captain and supervise the hard work. For the evolver, it was obviously useless. The plan he had in mind was to take this opportunity to torture and humiliate his old rivals to relieve his resentment.

With such an enemy, Li Ba's hard work days can be imagined. However, he adheres to the laws of survival in the last days, no matter how great the humiliation is, he will bear it. As long as he lives, he will one day be able to avenge this.

Facing Li Chao, Li Ba was mentally prepared and explained with a smile on his face: "This kid's parents owed me half a piece of bran bun. They said they could return it but it didn't count. So I caught the kid and took care of it. If his parents didn't pay the debt, I would let the kid work, which would be exhausted to death!"

"Oh, I can't tell that you are so cruel and ruthless!"

After hearing this, Li Chao snorted and waved to the bell, "Boy, you'll stay in the shed today, you don't have to go anywhere. When you get a meal, you'll be sure to keep it. Don't be afraid of this fat pig if you have a brother!"

The genie walked over timidly, squatted in the corner of the wall, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Brother Super, this..."

"Shut up, dead fat pig!"

Seeing this, Li Ba was about to speak, but he saw Li Chao's face cold and his actions were like lightning. He slapped Li Ba in the face with a "splash", making him look like stars and fell directly to the ground.

"Xibu City rules, no one can oppress and exploit his compatriots. You are so brave, you dare to do such evil things!" Li Chao stood up, stepped on the table, and pointed at Li Ba's fingers and cursed. Seeing his righteous look on his face, those who don't know thought he was righteous and upholding justice for the poor child. In fact, only Li Ba knew this guy's rough behavior in his heart. To put it bluntly, he would definitely point out the bad things. He said he wanted to abuse his concubine, and the other party would never let him do it.

"Brother Chao, I'm wrong. You have a lot of it. Don't bother with me like a waste!"

Li Ba stood up in panic and begged for mercy. Inadvertently, he lowered his head, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and the blood from the corner of his mouth was extremely ferocious.

The strong people in the end of the world are respected. The so-called Xibu City City Rules must not oppress and exploit their compatriots, which are nonsense. If they can really be selfless, there will be no laborers in the outer city, and they will not be able to eat enough to do heavy work.

Li Chao was deliberately looking for trouble, but Li Ba couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

"It's great to know that you can correct your mistakes!" Li Chaowen said this with a slight sentence, bent down and patted Li Ba's fat face, and said viciously: "Li Ba, Li Ba (your father), you are a fat pig's name, and I'm so angry that I can hear it."
