Chapter 2 - Prologue, the seven deadly sins

Catastrophe.After the sudden disaster, the Earth is full of devastation, species variation, food shortages, poor living environment, the era of complete destruction, civilization has disappeared....On an unnamed street in the planned anarchy 300 km to the left of the 9th Special Economic Zone, a twenty-three-year-old walks briskly with his head down, shirt tucked under his chest.The streets are decrepit and ugly, the underground sewer system has been completely broken down for an unknown number of years, and the stinking, makeshift outdoor toilets are connected to rows of market houses. The whole area was rarely lighted, and groups of people could be seen standing together from time to time along the road, but there were more women than men.Qin Yu, a 1.82-meter-tall, burly, fast-walking, unblinking-eyed young man who is out of work today, is about to take the first step in his plan to buy official resident status in the 9th Special Economic Zone.Qin Yu used to be a handsome boy with clear eyebrows and square features, but now he is dressed in a unkempt way. His beard is unshaven, his slightly long hair is stuck together, and his clothes look full of grease and stains, in short, in the crowd is very inconspicuous.Walking quickly, Qin Yu looked up at the intersection, ready to return to the house from the left."Brother, brother... !"A burst of clear shouts rang out, a woman wearing wash some whitish dress, wrapped in a coat, in the roadside pulled qinyu lightly.Qin Yu was dumbfounded for a moment, then looked back and asked, "What for?""Thirty dollars," whispered the woman, raising three slender fingers and looking back at the decrepit storefront behind her. "Let's go there.""Ha Ha, can not afford to play." Qin Yu smiled and walked on."Wait." The woman reached out and pulled qin yu again, "Twenty-five, twenty-five OK?"Qin Yu looked back at the woman, paused for a long time to continue shaking his head: "I have no money.""You don't like me? There's someone else in the room.""Really no money." Qin Yu jilted arm: "You let go of me, I anxious to go home."The woman bit her red lip and clutched Qin Yu tightly with her small hand. After a long silence, she added softly, "Two bowls of rice will do, but you have to use my bowl to measure."Qin Yu frowned: "I said no, go away!"The woman still doesn't let go, looking back at a group of seven-and eight-year-olds beside the storeroom, he said, "...". ... I have three children, and without business tonight, I can't feed them ... Brother, do me a favor and help me once, even a bowl of rice. I'll kneel down for you."Qin Yu looked at the woman and said indifferently: "How many years has the world become like this? In such an environment, without the ability to feed, what will you give birth to?"The woman froze.Qin Yu efforts son flings aside an arm, sip to wear clothes bosom to continue to go forward.After standing there for a long time, the woman quickly ran back to the store room, out of breath said: "That man has, he has. When I pulled him, I saw something in his arms."...In about half an hour.Qin Yu returned to a dilapidated six-story building and entered his five-story home, following the old, dusty steps.Only Qin Yu and his friend Xiaozhuang live in this building. Many of the outer walls have collapsed. In the past, it was a dangerous building on the verge of demolition. But in this day and age, home is about where you are, not where you live. Qin Yu chose it because it had no lights, no water, and he didn't have to bear any expensive living expenses.It was simple, with one bed, two broken cabinets, no entertainment, and the only old fan magazine, dated 2019.After entering the room, Qin Yu took off his dirty coat, carried out a polished canvas bag from his arms, gingerly went to the bedside, picked up a broken bowl, and began to serve tempting white rice from the inside out, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Xiaozhuang, is the food ready?""Not yet, I just came back." Someone in the back room after a response, came out of a similar age and Qin Yu Youth, dark skin, resolute face."Ding, Ding, Ding!"Just as Qin Yu was about to talk to Xiaozhuang, a deafening sound of footsteps came from downstairs. He paused, hid his bags and bowls in the cupboard, and stepped to the door, which was a broken wooden plank door.In less than ten seconds, seven or eight children under the age of ten, led by dozens of men and women appeared in the stairwell.Stairs are in the outdoors, concrete cracks, iron railings aging, so many people rushed up together, and the pace is rapid, a time of earthquake broken buildings seem to shake the general.Qin Yu immediately stretched out his hand and shouted: "Don't. . . don't go up so fiercely, damn it, the stairs are going to collapse.""Uncle, Hungry.""Uncle, I want to eat...""...!"The children each took a small bowl, standing on the stairs, dirty looking at Qin Yu."Uncle is also hungry, did your home eat dinner, didn't eat us a piece?" Qin Yu's cheeky smiling face answered 1.Children's eyes pure, simple thinking, but the adults behind them is to tear apart the most basic human disguise. A burly man with a shaved head took the lead in shouting, "Take the grain, you can't go down without it.""I don't have any food," Qin Yu replied with a wave of his hand. "I really don't. We're all hungry ghosts in the planning area. It's not easy. If I really had food, I would at least give it to you. . .""Don't talk nonsense, I saw you with food." The strong man continued to shout: "Hurry up, finish we go, do not want more, take half"No."Qin Yu shook his head."Enter his room." The strong man's voice called out richly."Uncle, I want food.""Give me something to eat.""...!"The crowd rushed up, and the stairs outside the building shook again, as if they might collapse at any moment.Qin Yu looked at the crowd of people, suddenly red-eyed, right leg lifted, his right hand in the dirty trouser leg pulled out a dagger, pointing to the crowd shouted: "Damn, Bully Lao Tze is a lone wolf? who here is fucking afraid of death? Food I have, the knife is broken to you."The crowd paused for a moment, and the strong man shouted coldly, "The children are in front of you. You should stab them to death first.""I fucking. . . !" Qin Yu was speechless."Enter a house, take grain." Strong man waved a hand to roar once more.The words sound falls, the person on the step swarms forward to squeeze, the children also momentary surround come up, Drag Qin Yu to shout a way: "Uncle, give me to eat.""Uncle, I haven't eaten in days.""Get out of Here!"Qin Yu with a dagger, helplessly shouted at the children: "Otherwise I really stabbed, I stabbed. . ."Inside the house, Xiaozhuang see a conflict at the door, immediately came forward to stop Qin Yu, shouted at the crowd: "Don't impulse, have words to say."The children were so hungry that they were not afraid of anything but Qin Yu, and the adults in the rear had already crowded up from the gap.Qin Yu was a big man. He took one step and got stuck in the doorway. "Oigo only lives by himself, don't force me!" He shouted, staringThe crowd rushed madly to the door, who ignored Qin Yu's words.Qin Yu has been short children, to the door next to the drag, but he could not do really stabbed, so can only struggle with the body, ready to deal with the adults."Uncle, just give me a bowl of rice...""Get Out!"When a teenager was pulling Qin Yu hard, the latter gave his arm a violent shake and tried to break free, but he didn't expect the child to bump into the rushing crowd, and then his feet became unsteady, the upside fell through the gap in the iron fence."Ah!"A child's frightened scream echoed for a long time."Boom!"Then the sound of bodies landing on the floor below.Qin Yu and Xiaozhuang confused, panting looked to the iron railings, for a time some at a loss.The crowd was quiet and the stairs leveled off."Child, that child fell to go down." The small village is urgent to take the lead to Roar 1.Dozens of people turned their heads to look downstairs, expression, and silence for less than two seconds, then collectively turned his head again. The child's mother is dazed after a long time, the sound of a rush downstairs.Qin Yu was stunned."Food.""The boy has fallen and will not be allowed to leave without food.""Take him.""...!"The others didn't turn around to look at the child who had fallen downstairs. Instead, they continued to crowd together and rush in.Xiao Zhuang stood at the door, staring at the crowd. He knew very well that if he didn't bleed today, he would definitely have to fight for his life, so licked his lips and shouted: "Ok, you cow b, I admit the Coward, I admit... I give you."Qin Yu heard immediately grabbed Xiaozhuang's arm, low voice command: "Can not give, can not give."Xiaozhuang looked at the huge crowd outside the gate and answered with a wide-eyed response: "The grain has already leaked out. These people can't leave without giving them something sweet.""You give sweet will be more trouble." Qin Yu tone very serious response: "Rather desperately, can not let go.""Bullshit!" Xiaozhuang's view differed from Qin Yu's, "You're the only one we have," he insisted. "But with all these people out there, are you sure you can keep them at bay? If you can't, we're going to get robbed. Can't you see they're already jealous?""You listen to me and you're done. I'll go back and get it.""Xiao Yu, didn't you see? They didn't leave when the child fell. These people have no reason..." Xiao Zhuang pulled Qin Yu's arm apart, in a low voice, he replied, "We have enough to eat, and everyone who should change money has changed money. give them a bowl of rice, and we won't lose much, so I don't want to gamble my life away. I have my share of the grain. I have the right to decide what to do with it."Qin Yu was speechless when he heard this.Xiaozhuang straightened his position, staring eyes blunt leading strong man shouted: "To be planning area also to be planning area of survival, took the meter, don't make trouble, get out quickly!""Hungry not to die, certainly immediately roll." The leader of the strong man nodded.Chuang heard the sound of retreat, step back to the house to take a bowl of rice, clatter on the ground: "Roll it."Dozens of people looked at the rice on the ground, eyes in all pan-greedy look, but did not take the initiative to get.The leading man was silent for a few seconds, reached out and pulled the cloth bag from his waistband and poured the rice into it."Quickly roll! "The small village facial expression is impatient of drive.The crowd stood still at the door. The leading man looked at them, his forehead sweating as he tied the rice to his waist. He didn't leave immediately."I let you go, don't you understand?" Xiaozhuang frown again drive.After a silence, the crowd did not know who shouted a: "Fuck, he can give us a bowl of rice, at least a big bag of rice!""Give me some more. There are too many people. They can't eat enough.""Here you go.""Why don't you just go in and Rob It?""...!"Shouts and shouts spread through the six-story building again, and this time someone in the crowd secretly took out a knife, a murder weapon, and looked at Xiaozhuang darkly, with an expression of complete lack of gratitude...The leading man spread his hands and said in a low voice, "As you can see, these people are starving. I can't hold them down. If you don't take out the rice bag, we'll share half of it.""You fuck. . . !" Xiaozhuang anxious, but also from the arms out of the knife."Why, you want to spell it?""Afraid of You? You're starving to death, aren't you?""...!"They are not afraid of Xiaozhuang, step by step to follow the strong man rushed into the house.Xiaozhuang was at a loss. He stood in the same place and did not know what to do. He wanted to fight now, but couldn't bring himself to deal with the crazed grain-grabbers in front of him; if he didn't, he obviously couldn't protect his own things."Boom, Boom!"At this time, Qin Yu from the Cabinet pulled out a full 20 cm long, three-barrel rotating reloading large-caliber pistol, the first time rotating sleeve, on the bullet.The crowd instinctively stopped at the sight of the gun.Qin pulled a sack full of grain from the cupboard and threw it on the floor. "Here's all the grain," he shouted. "You can come up and get what you want."The crowd was silent."Who are you scaring?" The head of the strong man red-eyed fan called out: "No food is a death, we are afraid you take a broken gun?"Qin Yu Crooked Neck looked at each other, his left hand pointed to the grain bag shouted: "The grain is here, long hand can take away, you come up Ah?"The leading man hesitated for half a second, then turned and shouted, "There are so many of us, and he has only one gun. I don't believe he can kill all of us."With that, the leading man stepped forward and reached for the bag of grain."Kang!"The gun went off and the gears turned.The leading man flew half a meter away. Blood was spilled on the floor and a big hole was punched in his chest.Qin Yu held a gun in his right hand and shouted without a ripple on his face: "No food to eat, you may starve to death in a few days. But now whoever reaches out for it first, I will shoot him first."When they heard this, they all looked at each other without saying a word."I return two bullets, you take not to take?" Qin Yu suddenly and violently drink to ask a way.The crowd took two steps backward at the sound.Qin Yu stepped forward, bent down and untied the bag of grain tied to the strong man's waist. "Xiaozhuang, take the things, let's go," he shouted quietlyChuang heard the sound immediately back to the house.Qin Yu shouted with a gun in his right hand: "Yard two rows, make way for me."The crowd didn't move.Qin Yu raises a hand to aim the muzzle of a gun to leave oneself the closest person roars a way: "Let not let?"The man hesitated for half a second and immediately stepped aside, while the others followed suit and stepped down the stairs.Five minutes later, Qin Yu went downstairs and found the mother holding her injured child crying loudly.Qin Yu was silent for a few seconds, reached out to throw the rice to the strong man and said: "They will come down right away, you hide the grain."Mother a Leng, immediately took the food bag should say: "Thank you, thank you, I kowtow to you, there is food don't die..."Qin Yu led Xiaozhuang, quickly disappeared in the night....More than three o'clock in the morning, the Endless Gobi Desert, Qin Yu will be good to throw food Xiaozhuang said: "Took your things, we separate it."Confused, Xiaozhuang asked, "As for it? Didn't you and I just disagree. . . I don't think I did either."Qin Yu waved his hand and interrupted: "Xiaozhuang, if people and people are not the same way, don't get together, so easy to harm you, also harm me. I'm going to the nine districts... take care of yourself."With that, Qin Yu left without any nostalgia and ran to the Ninth Special Economic Zone, the first stop of his new life....In the barracks on the left side of the planned area, a black man bared his large white teeth and asked in fluent Chinese, "Just now there was a shooting inside. Do you want to see it?""Look at a ghost, here every day in the food, are in the dead, the army car they dare to ambush, we count old who ah... ?" The house a smoking inferior smoke old cannon, lazily lying on the old wooden bed in response.
