Unfathomable Doomsday

Under the bustling surface of the City of Glory, in an inconspicuous alley, a pair of extremely cold eyes stared at the street.

Since that day, the day when darkness enveloped the world, it has been snowing for three full days, making it almost impossible for people to see the road ahead.

The entire Glory City was buried under heavy snow, and similarly, one could feel the soul-piercing cold permeating this world.

will die...

The dark figure curled up in the alley hugged his ragged clothes tightly, which was his only comfort in the heavy snow.

His cold eyes stared at the people queuing up to buy food in the distance, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

In the past, maybe he could survive in this bustling city by stealing and some small means, but not today.

At the very least, it is impossible for him to afford a meal worth more than gold.

Now one steamed bun can be exchanged for one gold coin. If it was in the past, it would not be a problem to buy thousands of dry steamed buns with one gold coin.

But in the rumors in the streets and alleys, from the moment the demons invaded this world, human beings were imprisoned in this glorious city, and stepping into the wild was no different from death.

But isn't the city full of dangers?

He stared coldly at a young man of his age in the crowd, probably a child of a wealthy businessman, who exchanged a bag of gold coins for some food to fill his stomach...

As a rich man, he is completely unaware of how dangerous a situation he is in.

There are no adults around... Sure enough, it was another corpse in the gutter.

The shadow curled up in the alley made up his mind, clutching the rusted dagger tightly in his hand, unable to resist the temptation of food, just as he was about to stand up.

"What are you going to do?" The young man who seemed to be showing off how rich he was to the commoners was suddenly surrounded by a group of ragged but terrifying men.

Seeing this situation, the people around chose to ignore it, and no one wanted to be the first bird...

The prey... Being targeted by others, he stared unwillingly at the boy who was dragged into the alley by the big men.

The power that was originally ready to go, fell heavily to the ground at the last moment.

Hunger, cold, nearly collapsed him...

This is more uncomfortable than ever, the feeling of being frozen in the soul is not at all uncomfortable, and the consciousness gradually begins to blur.

Until, the smell of food broke into his sense of smell.

food? He suddenly widened his already bewildered eyes, raised his head and found a white steamed bun in front of him, emitting its tempting fragrance wantonly.

But as a sewer mouse, he was vigilant and didn't pounce on it immediately, but raised his head to look at the person holding the steamed bun...

So beautiful... He opened his mouth and stayed there.

For him who hasn't even read a book for a day, he basically has only a few words to describe people.

But the man in front of him didn't seem abrupt when he used this word.

"Are you hungry?" With an inexplicable feeling, his tone made people want to sink, and his brain froze for a moment.

He swallowed his saliva, nodded, and then stared straight at the steamed bun without any shyness, expressing what he wanted without any concealment.

"for you……"

The steamed bun was pushed in front of him.

handout? He who has been on the dark side of the world all year round can understand the behavior of the rich. What is insignificant in their eyes is equivalent to his life to him.

And this steamed bun can be exchanged for his life!

Without any hesitation, he almost snatched something that would allow him to live, and then looked at the man timidly.

"Don't worry, let me tell you first, I'm not giving alms, I won't give anything to anyone." The smile on the corner of the mouth is the only thing that makes people feel warm in this cold winter.

"What... do you want me to do? Who to kill?" He held the food in his hands tightly, and his cold eyes met the scarlet blush.

This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. For him who was young, ordinary people would not care about this little beggar at all, and this is the most suitable identity as a killer! To be hired at a negligible price, to be killed, to escape... that's the use value.

"No, I don't want you to kill anyone, but." A white finger was raised up, pointing to his forehead: "I want your life!"

He was almost subconsciously about to pull out his dagger and stab the man in the heart, but...

Can't move! He trembled all over, and found that he was stared at by the scarlet and couldn't move at all.

who? Could it be a professional? A great fear enveloped his heart.

But the fear dissipated in no time, and he calmed down, the steamed bun in his hand was still hot.

"You're hungry, aren't you? Want to eat, aren't you?"

He nodded.

"Then give me your life, and I will feed you until you are full, never be hungry, and provide you with inexhaustible food."

Temptation, almost a temptation that goes deep into the bone marrow...

Contract of sale? Wants to make me a slave... that's all he thinks about, but so what, freedom? Better than dead.

He nodded again, in exchange for a pleasant smile from that man.

"Eat, give me your life, and you'll never be hungry."

When he gnawed down the food that made him salivate, he asked.

"your name?"

Whether it's a good-hearted person or a master, you must know the other person's name, right?

The smile remained the same, and the lips that were so pale that they were bloodless slightly raised their lips to answer him.

"You can call me Lu Qiu."

Lu Qiu? After chanting the name in his mind, he swallowed the steamed bun without any hesitation.

………………

Lu Qiu looked at the little beggar, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, as if he had eaten a steamed bun in one bite.

It's safe to say he was definitely hungry for a long time.

The supplies in the City of Glory are limited. After the arrival of the devil, the temperature of the entire world has dropped, and some places have dropped below freezing point. The heavy snow is almost the same as everyday weather.

So in this case food is very important.

And human life.

It doesn't seem worth even a single gold coin.

"Are you full?" Lu Qiu stared at the little beggar, shaking his head with puffy cheeks.

Man is never satisfied.

It's just that when he was excitedly chewing the food that could sustain his life, a force that didn't belong to him suddenly raged wildly from his body, spreading all over his body!

The little beggar fell to the ground with bulging veins on his forehead. He clenched his fists tightly and spat out the contents of his mouth in nausea. At this time, his teeth could no longer be called human teeth. The sharp fangs were sharp. It was frightening, and the thin body also became taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Scarlet muscle tissue spread across his body, and sharp barbs continued to grow out of his body in a piercing manner, no, or rather it.

"Ugh!"

Accompanied by a violent roar, another human being loved by the black light virus, the so-called infected body, appeared in front of Lu Qiu.

It didn't attack Lu Qiu, because the virus mother, Yuli, was in this world, Lu Qiu could even feel the emotions from it.

hunger……

"Stomach... still hungry, right?" Lu Qiu turned slightly sideways, glanced at the people on the street who were panicked by the appearance of this monster, and pointed at the fleeing humans: "I promised you , provide you with inexhaustible food, if you are hungry, eat until you are full!"

The infected body seemed to understand Lu Qiu's words, and roared again. It smashed the ground like an ancient dragon, and waved its sharp claws at the fleeing humans, and then grabbed the humans. Grind them one by one and turn them into your own food.

"One gold coin for one steamed bun." Lu Qiu played with the gold coin in his hand: "The same goes for human life, in this world."

Lu Qiu looked up at the foggy sky, he could hear the screams of monsters and the panicked sounds of humans in the city.

"In this world, no place is absolutely safe."

Lu Qiu's figure disappeared into the darkness, the blizzard in this city was getting bigger, and the scarlet snow was falling...
