Building a City at the End of the World
CHAPTERS 002
Alina packed the items she needed to go out for supplies for a few days, and put a little dry food and half a small bottle of water instead of a tertiary crystal core into the bag, and then walked out of the tent where dozens of people lived together.
“Alinaa.” Behind him, the girl living in the same tent stopped him.
“You better not go, it's not easy for a girl to survive the doomsday. Not to mention this time to get the horn of an eighth level mutant.”
“If this time we succeed, we will get enough food for our family to eat for the next month, and my sister can also drink the rice soup she wants.” Alina said firmly.
In this base, if they did not contribute, they had no materials, they could not eat and live in tents. So for this they could only accept the task issued by the base and complete it in order to get a little material to survive.
As for Alina's family of four, Alina was the only one who could fight. Her father's leg was broken and her mother injured her body when she gave birth to her sister, so she couldn't do any heavy work.
Alina needed a lot of effort to keep her family in possession of this base.
“Actually, there is another way.. You know, brother Wang has always liked you a lot.” The girl said doubtfully.
Brother Wang is the deputy head of the logistics department of the base. The supplies of the base were under his hands, so Brother Wang was very popular at the base. He explains that he is interested in Alina and hints at her several times, but is always rejected by Alina.
Alina turned her head and looked at the girl in front of her. Her eyes were fixed on her clothes that were cleaner than others and the crystal hairpin that adorned her head, “I don't want to, maybe depending on someone made you feel better, she said, but I can't get past the obstacles in my heart, Dina, you can't always count on others, and in the end you have to rely on yourself.”
After speaking, Alina left without looking back.
………………………………………………………………..
Two days later, Alina hides behind a corner dumpster. The pungent smell of trash covered his body odor. The roars of mutant beasts could be heard from time to time outside the room.
Alina held her breath and frowned. An eighth level mutant beast was indeed a level too difficult to deal with. Its fur was as hard as iron, and ordinary cold weapons could not cause any damage at all.
He is the one who exaggerates - increases his strength. He had already eaten the food and water he had brought, his abilities were exhausted and all that was left was a dagger in his hand.
And so far, he had only been able to injure one eye of the mutant rhino, his hard outer skin was not injured at all. Wounding one eye made the mutant rhino angry and rampage outside the room like this.
After the roar slowly faded, Alina knew that she could not hide continuously here, and if she pulled the mutant rat, she would not be able to escape.
Is a suburban Industrial Park and is very empty everywhere factory buildings that can be left in humans have long been occupied by forest vines and forest animals. Alina sticks out her head and the Mutant rhino gets entangled by the vine. Without hesitation, he took it out of the trash and ran to the other end.
It didn't take long for the forest rhinoceros to break away from the shackles of the mutant vines and chase after the ears.
The ground behind him could feel a clear Vibration, But he did not dare to look back.he dashed forward desperately, his lungs Feels like fire and his eyes began to blur.
At this moment, a large open space appeared before him, surrounded by a fence and there seemed to be a sign on the gate.he did not see it clearly, he did not see it clearly, and after looking around it seemed like there were no vines here and no Zombies or mutated beasts roaming around. who decided to bet and now he can only find a bunker to slow down, otherwise he really can't run.
No matter what the outcome was, he could only choose to bet, hoping the fence outside would give him time.
As he stepped into the door, the pressure behind him disappeared. Alina did not notice it, and still ran forward instinctively, until she could not run anymore, her legs softened and she fell to the ground.
He closed his eyes desperately, waiting for the final blow from the mutants. The faces of his parents and sisters popped into his mind, and he felt sad, if he left they would not be able to hold on.
After waiting for a long time, there was no pain in his shadow and even his surroundings were silent.
Alina opened her eyes and looked back, a mutated rhino with his head like a Hill standing at the gate where she had just entered.
How'this?? why didn't the rhinoceros chase after him and go inside ? Didn't he see it fall on the ground ?
“Are you okay?” a voice suddenly sounded so shocked that Alina almost swung the knife in her hand.
turning his head he met Althea who was holding a bowl of noodles.
“Do not get excited do not get excited.” Althea took a step back, “ I'm Mayor of this place, I'm out for a walk.. No, I saw you lying here when I came out to check.”
Althea's tone slowed down as much as possible, trying hard to make yourself not like an evil wolf who fools little sheep into being a victim.
at this moment when he looked at the blade in the opponent's hand with a cold light, he realized that he was too rash.however, this was not the peaceful era he was familiar with.
“City.. Mayor ??” the tone of Alina's song made Althea's face flushed.
Uhukks
“Now..the city is indeed a little smaller.” Althea said as she coughed lightly.
perhaps seeing that there was no Threat to herself, Alina slowly lowered her knife.The tip of the blade no longer faced Althea, but was still held tightly in her hand. Seeing this, Althea could only breathe freely.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to go into your territory, I was chased by that rhinoceros of the forest and I'll leave now.” Alina tried to stand up and was about to leave this strange city.
But as soon as he stood up, his legs softened uncontrollably and his stomach let out an inappropriate roar.
“Are you hungry? I have noodles to eat, Do you want ?” asked Althea, and continued speaking before Alina could answer, “Now it is dark and the forest beast is still guarding the door. There are no bones left if you leave at this time. when you arrive in a small town, the forest plant zombies and forest beasts cannot enter. Why don't we just rest here? The thatched huts there are all habitable and you only need to pay the maintenance cost of 20 first-class crystal cores for one night, and 580 first-rate crystal cores for one month.”
“Twenty first-rate crystal cores ?” alina was surprised again.
“Is it too expensive?” Althea asked back, “But this is the price, I can't change it but you can see it when you go inside, It looks a bit rib from the outside but our house is really worth the price.”
Althea did not know the price here so she tried her best to persuade him, as it was related to his life so she naturally had to do her best.
Alina shook her head, “No, it's too cheap.”
They lived in tents where more than a dozen people were gathered in them, paying the second level crystal core to one person for a day and those who stayed inside the tent were all slightly strong people, clustered in the basement, he said, there was no sunlight all day and there were many people, there was nowhere to turn. They ate, drank, and slept together, the entire basement was filled with a disgusting smell, Nonetheless it still required one second crystal core for one person to rent for one day.
The first-rate crystal core was the least valuable in the last days.
This place is perfect like a scam, which makes Alina even more vigilant. The thought of going over controlled his heart, but on the mutants outside really did not go far. If he remained outside after dark, he would definitely not see the sun the next day, either before the end of the world or after the end of the world, the night was much scarier than the day.
Alina weighed in her heart, after hesitating for a while, she thought about the situation of her parents and sisters if she left. leaving he was finally forced to take out 20 first-rate crystal nuclei from his pocket and hand them over to Althea.
Alina silently thought in her heart, if something went wrong, she would leave immediately.
Althea's eyes narrowed happily when seeing the first-rate crystal nucleus credited.
“Let's go, go to my room to eat something, then go to show me the room you rented.” Althea reached out to help Alina, but was rejected by Alina because the smell was too bad.The stench of trash mixed with the smell of sweat, it made Alina want to vomit, let alone Althea who looked very clean.
But as soon as Alina stood up, she could not help herself from falling to one side, and Althea still helped her. Alina's body froze for a moment. After the end of the world, He was never this close to anyone but his family.
But the sweet and gentle girl smiling beside him really made him not feel disgusted.
Next door, Althea tries to control herself not to laugh like a profiteer.
Hehe.. Crystal core.. Crystal core.. Hehehe
He helped Alina to her home. The house is still much better than a thatched hut, with a large separate bedroom, a spacious living room, and a separate wet and dry bathroom, a kitchen where you can cook for yourself, all seasonings are provided by the system, supplies are unlimited, but one person. Not only seasoning, but also various daily necessities are ready for one person at any time.
Alina saw the house in a dizzy state, after all her years of past days, Is there really such a clean and beautiful house ? there was still a slight fragrance of flowers in the room, which saw a bunch of freshly collected flowers on the table in the living room.
Looking at the clean and bright room in front of her, Alina Paused for a moment, she felt so dirty that she might leave footprints when she walked into the room.
Althea notices that Alina is a little wrong, and immediately understands Alina's worries, “It's okay, there's a robot that will clean it If you're dirty. Just go in, go to the bathroom to take a shower first, and I'll give you something. By the way Do you want to eat spicy food ?”
“No. no.” Replied Alina who was given a clean towel and a set of clean clothes after returning to her senses.
Walking into the bathroom, turning on the water tap, clear and clear water flowed out, as it stood there empty, and carefully took out its hand touching the water, that cold touch is really clean water.
