The boy cheered. There is nothing more satisfying than eating.

Lanny untied the bag and took out an ordinary bun from inside. It does not add any special ingredients and is placed on the floating island of Babylon. It is a food that the nobles dismissed. But on the surface, it is extremely precious food. Because it has no radiation, and it has a faint smell of wheat.

Wheat, on the surface, is like a dragon, a legendary thing. As far as Lanni knows, only the closed agricultural base on the floating island can cultivate this kind of completely pollution-free rice and wheat.

Looking at the child who took the bread from her with a pious expression, and then very carefully tore off small pieces of the bread and put them in his mouth, even carefully licking the oily flowers on the fingers clean. Lanni suddenly felt sad. If it weren't for her so-called persistence, could this child live better now?

But, everything can't go back.

After the sadness, there was a deep anger. If it weren't for that man, it wouldn't be the way it is today. Thinking of this, Lanni clenched her slender fist tightly.

She took a dagger from her arms, and the dagger was wrapped in a black leather sheath. Lanni drew out the dagger gently. The dagger was single-edged with a golden pattern on the back of the blade. Its shape is very simple, only at the end of the handle is decorated with a red gem. The gem is carved into the head of a demon, so this dagger has a very apt name.

Salute to the devil!

A small room.

A bed made of nailed wooden boards, and a blanket with patches but still clean is all the room. Getting down from the bed is directly at the door. It is more like a cabin than a room.

Allen was sitting on the bed, leaning against the corner of the bed. The electric light on the roof cast an orange light on the boy's little face. He has an extra dagger in his hand, and he just learned from Lanni that this dagger is called Devil's Praise. And, about the father.

Father, is an unfamiliar term for Allen. From birth to now, he only knows his mother, but he doesn't know even the slightest information about his father. Lanny said nothing about it. The only exception was a fight with children in town last year, who called Allen a child without a father. When Allen came back, she asked Lanni, but Lanni didn't give him an answer, only slapped him on the butt.

Later, Allen equated his father with being beaten.

But tonight, Lannie was a little out of order. Recalling when she handed the dagger to herself, her usual gentle mother suddenly became distorted and said loudly, "Ellen, this knife was given to me by your father. Now I will give it to you in the future. Use this dagger to stab me into your **** father's chest! Can you do it?"

Alan nodded instinctively, but he didn't know why his mother showed such an expression.

A five-year-old child still can’t understand this emotion called hatred. And many years later, Allen realized that this is not only hate, but it also contains love that is so deep that it makes people unable to breathe.

Love begets hate!

He fumbled for the sheath of the dagger, which was the best gift he had ever received. Allen wanted the knife that Uzbe had around his waist long ago, and Uz said that he would give it to him when he was ten years old. But now, he gets a better baby. Allen swears that he has never seen such a beautiful dagger in town. The leather sheath that overflowed with soft luster under the light, and the demon gem that refracted the light.

If you have to describe it, you can only use a sentence you just learned: This is so cool!

Allen couldn't help pulling out the dagger. The silver-white blade and the dark gold pattern on it made the little child's breath stagnate. Allen can even see his face filled with surprise and excitement in the smooth blade. He licked his lips, stretched out his hand and wiped it gently on the dagger.

A icy cold came from the fingers, followed by a slight pain, but a small cut was made on the tip of the finger.

So sharp!

Alan is not afraid, but happy. He quickly put away the dagger and sucked the blood from his fingertips with his mouth, letting the smell of rust melt in his mouth. Then he got into the blanket and let out a low laugh or two. Soon, he fell asleep.

The boy didn't know that the little blood stains left on the blade suddenly moved on its own, and continuously penetrated into the blade. As a result, the dagger in the scabbard returned to its former condition, but the devil gem on the handle quietly flashed a faint rainbow light in the darkness of the bed.

Three weeks later, the town ushered in the first winter snow. Silver-white snowflakes fall from the sky leisurely, like a gift from heaven to the earth. They whitewash the ugliness, cover up the sins, and decorate the heaven and the earth into a pure white.

The vitality of the world is constantly recovering.

After breakfast, Allen came to the house. There was already a thin layer of snow on the ground outside the house, covering the black and yellow road, leaving a dazzling silver road. Allen looked up and realized that this winter seemed a little different.

As the snow drifts down, there are also some strange fluorescences floating in the sky and the earth. Red and green, blue and purple, the colorful light caught in the snow drifted all over the sky. This is the most beautiful scene Allen has ever seen. He excitedly took out a high chair from the house, climbed up, and tried to reach out and grab the fluorescent light.

The fluorescence seems to be spiritual, even though Alan's little hands were scratched in the air, none of them fell into the hands of the little boy. The boy was not depressed, but a bright smile appeared on his face. Finally, a fluorescent light fell into Allen's hands. It was icy cold, and it slipped into the boy's hand at once, so Alan saw a misty light passing by on his palm, forming a loop-like pattern.

The pattern of light flashed away.

"Alan! My God, what are you doing here!"

Suddenly the mother's voice sounded, and little Allen was startled. The boy hurriedly jumped down, and Lanni carried him into the house angrily: "Didn't mom say that staying in the snow will make you sick!"

Allen's face was a little pink with cold, he exhaled and said, "Look, I have nothing to do."

He is so stubborn, Lanni can only give him a blank look. Allen took his mother to the door again, pointed to the sky and said: "Mom, what are those?"

"Snow."

"No, no, I mean things in the snow. They have a lot of colors and shine!"

Lani flicked his big head with her finger: "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing shining."

Ellen touched his forehead, looked at his mother curiously, and then at the sky outside. Those who are still fluorescent, Kelanni, and the residents on the street seem to have noticed something unusual in today's winter snow.

At this time, Alan still doesn't know what he saw.

That is the source force, the energy of the origin of the universe. There is no human being who can see Genesis with the naked eye!

Something is waking up.

I have to say that the world is often repetitive and monotonous. It's like life in a small town, almost day after day, year after year.

Three days have passed since the first snow day.

That night, when Alan was sleeping drowsy, he felt cool on his forehead. As if someone was touching his forehead with cold fingers, he tried to open his eyes. In the dimly lit room, there was a hazy figure. Allen made a sleepy voice: "Mom?"

The man said "um" and didn't speak. The cold fingers beat lightly on the boy's face and body, and the rhythmic movements made Allen fall asleep again like hypnotized.

The next day, the boy had forgotten what happened last night.

But today, Allen always feels nervous for no reason.

At night, this feeling became stronger. It was so strong that Alan couldn't sleep, a heart pounding, and the secretion of adrenal hormones was more than usual, causing Allen's pupils looking out the window to unconsciously dilate a little. In those bright red eyes, the moon tonight is very round and very big. You can even see the magnificent mountains on the moon. While the boy was watching the moon, a sudden explosion came from far and near!

The boy was startled and got up from the bed blankly. A rough gunshot and a man's screaming sounded outside the window, and there were one or two screams that didn't know whether it was a woman or a child.

Lanny almost crashed into the room, she swiftly climbed into the bed and closed the small window next to Alan's bed.

"What's wrong, mom?"

The mother hugged the child tightly, and smiled reluctantly: "I don't know, maybe a dangerous species broke into the town. It doesn't matter, Uzi and the others will take care of it."

As soon as the voice fell, there were several explosions from the outside, and the sound seemed much louder than the previous one.

It's not that the dangerous species has never broken into the town, but in the past, the battle would end quickly and the voice was far outside the town. But tonight, explosions and gunfire seem to have spread to the town, and they are still advancing towards the center!

That's not a dangerous species! There was a cold voice in the boy's heart.

Boom boom boom——

There was a torrential knock on the door, and the frequency of the knock seemed to knock down the thin iron door.

"Stay here and don't come out, my dear."

Lanny jumped out of bed, patted Alan on the head and said. She turned around and got out of the room and opened the door. Outside the door was Uzi. Uzi was covered in blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own or something else. Lanni only saw a long and narrow wound on his face. The wound was long and deep, with few bones visible!

"Oh my god, you are hurt. Come in, I'll take care of it for you." Lanni said subconsciously.

But the hand was caught by Uzi, and the cowboy shook his head and said: "There is no time. Listen to Lanni, I want you to take Alan out of here."

"This..." Lanni glanced outside the house, the town was full of fires: "Are they dangerous species? They..."

"No, Lanni. This time it's not a dangerous species, it's a predator!" Uzi said anxiously, "Now the men in the town are stuck at the entrance of the town, but we won't be able to support it for long. You have to take advantage of this time. Evacuate. Leave here and go to Gaul City or some other place."

He took two things from his body again: "This is a pistol, do you know how to use it? And this is a grenade. Pull out the safety bolt, throw it out, and blow up all the things that are unkind to you, okay? ?"

Putting them into Lanni's hands, Uzi suddenly smiled, as bright as when they first met five years ago. In this night of blood and fire, it’s like shed sunlight: "I love you, Lanny."

Lanny shook her whole body, then gritted her teeth and said: "I know."

He laughed, said nothing, turned and left the cabin. The figure leaping towards the entrance of the town has no hesitation!
