The Dark King
Chapter 1 Frozen for three hundred years
The rainy season.
The torrential rain came, and the sky that had just scattered the sun was instantly covered by dark clouds, and the downpour was pouring down. The residents of the slums who were thinking about the activities were immediately frightened to hide back into the house, afraid of being splashed by the rain. Onto the body.
The rainwater accumulated on the streets and quickly spread across the slums. Some low-lying slums have been submerged by the rain on the threshold, and there has been no repaired drainage system. At this moment, it has no effect. For a moment, the entire outer slum It has become a huge ocean.
In Meishan Orphanage.
At the door of a residential house, a woman in her 30s led a dozen children aged seven or eight to eleven or twelve, and hurriedly carried the sandbags that had been made, stacked on the threshold, blocking the turbulence. Into the rain.
"Du Dean, don't come to help yet!"
"It's no use calling him, he's a fool."
"It's annoying!"
Several boys were tired and sweating while holding sandbags. They saw a little boy standing quietly in front of the window not far away. Some of them were angry, but they knew it was useless. They could only gritt their teeth and continue to hold the sandbags in their hands. Sent to the door.
The little boy in front of the window looked about seven or eight years old, and his figure was thin, but his size was similar to that of other eleven-two-year-old children. The most obvious thing was his complexion, which was extremely fair, and even a little sickly pale. Others are out of tune with the dark and dirty skin exposed to strong light by ultraviolet light, which makes many children envious.
But Du Dian sighed in his heart. This is the sequelae caused by the freezer. Although he has left the freezer for more than three months, his body has not recovered, and the whole body is unable to lift it. In the way of modern medicine, it is muscle. Weakness.
Standing alone is hard.
Not to mention carrying sandbags to stop the rain.
However, such a situation has been considered a lucky luck.After all, when the disaster spread to China, the scientific research institute had just made the first freezer, and had not had time to enter the experimental stage. No one knew if there would be any kind of failure. He could be intact in the freezer. Sleeping for three hundred years is already a little miracle.
However, he was not happy.
He did survive, but his parents and sister who made the freezer, but stayed in the face of that terrible disaster, even if they survived very, very lucky, and now it has been buried for three hundred years. In the dust.
In this vast world, he no longer has half of his relatives, and he will face this world alone, alone.
He was not desperate, although he was sad and sad, but his parents gave him two lives, he never allowed himself to be decadent, he should not only live well, but also live to make him proud, but also let the dead Parents and sisters are proud of themselves!!
Fortunately, God finally sheltered the race of human beings. When he just climbed out of the freezer, he originally thought that there is only one person and one life left on the earth until he walks out of the dump where the freezer is buried. Only then did we find that mankind has not been extinct. It seems that a few people survived that disaster, and after three hundred years of reproduction and development, it already has a good scale.
Regrettably, the civilization and technology three hundred years ago have been completely destroyed by the disaster. What he saw and heard during this time, he did not see and hear any objects symbolizing the science and technology of the old era, as if it were revenge. Humans not only Without the power to conquer the planet, even basic life is extremely difficult.
While his thoughts were flying, the storm outside the window gradually stopped.
Looking at the water level in front of the threshold stopped rising, everyone in the house relieved with relief, as if experiencing a protracted fierce battle, everyone felt exhausted.At this time, the middle-aged woman looked at the sky and saw that the dark clouds gradually faded away, revealing a cloudy sky, knowing that she would not come down again in a while, and immediately said: "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat, and wear wax grass shoes ."
All the children heard the word "meal", all their eyes lit up, and their previous tiredness was swept away, and they went back to the room and put on wax shoes, and lined up in a clever way.
"Dean, I'm going to wear my shoes for dinner." At this time, a voice from the back of the line called Du Dean, talking about a seven or eight-year-old boy. He had just finished speaking. I patted Du Dean's shoulder before, gestured with one hand, pointed in the direction of the cafeteria, and the other arm was empty in the sleeve.
Du Di'an remembered him as Barton, one of the few children in the hospital who had good intentions towards him. This probably had something to do with him. The changes in the three hundred years, the language had already been renovated. When he first came to the orphanage, he could not understand Others say nothing, they don’t speak their language, they can only be silent. Over time, everyone thinks he’s a little silly, and may have a problem with IQ.
So naturally, he was divided into a group of deformities like Patton.
The children in the orphanage are divided into two factions, one is abandoned by their parents, and the other is abandoned by their parents. In this world, even children, they have already learned to survive in groups.
Du Dean nodded his head and said he understood, then followed Barton to the back of the team.Barton just wanted to ask Du Dean to put on wax shoes first, and accidentally looked down, but found that Du Dean had already worn a pair of light green high-heeled shoes under his trousers.
Plastics have not been invented in this world. The shoes and clothes made of wax grass have become the most commonly used rain gear. This is a natural variant grass. The wax layer with large leaves and finely raised surfaces on the surface can effectively block radiation rainwater. , Has become a must-have item for every household.
Everyone walked carefully along a half-meter high path paved by a narrow stone in front of the threshold. The rain only flooded the ankles. If they accidentally fell into the water, even the strongest adults would be unavoidably sick. .
At the cafeteria, everyone immediately began to seize the seats. The limited seats were suddenly swept away by the healthy children in front. Du Dean and Patton and other children with physical deformities were already used to it. They came to the back corner. Here are a few The stacked stones are their dining table.
"I heard that there are doctors and wall builders among the adopters who came this time."
"Aunt Dai has said that, let us seize this opportunity and perform well."
"If I could be adopted by a doctor, I would be too happy."
"I want to be adopted by a wall builder, maybe I have the hope to board the giant wall of Sylvia and see the world outside the giant wall."
The meal hadn't been delivered yet, and Barton whispered with several other children. These children either had fewer ears or half of their faces were covered with tiny lumps, and none of them looked normal.
Du Dean's eyes flashed in silence as they heard them.
"Unfortunately, Dean's brain is not good, otherwise Dean's appearance and body will definitely be selected by those people." After a chat for a while, Patton sighed suddenly, glanced at Du Dean, and said with regret.
The other children looked at Du Dean, who did not respond, and shook their heads and sighed.
They have long negotiated that no matter who is adopted, they must come back to help the rest as much as they can. On the appearance, Du Dean is undoubtedly the most promising to be adopted, but the brain has a problem, but It is more serious than physical problems. For example, the child with half of his face full of keloids, although looking scary and scary, has sound hands and feet, normal IQ, and can at least do hard work and find a job.
"Huh, a group of crippled things, but also want to take the opportunity of adoption with us." At this time, the thin child in a nearby seat heard a few words from Barton and sneered with contempt.
His words immediately attracted the attention of others. For a time, the eyes of contempt and disgust fell on Dudean, Button and others.
Compared with the deformed children, those who are healthy but abandoned have a heavier heart in their hearts.
Du Dian glanced at these people lightly and said nothing. Although he was also a child, he saw more things and had a deep feeling in his heart that many adults do not have.
And this picture of him is "stupid" in the eyes of these people.
"Look at this stupid guy, and scold him for not understanding."
"The guy with a broken head, no wonder he was abandoned!"
"Want to be adopted? Obey and wait for thirteen years old to be thrown into the mine to mine!"
These children did not hide their contempt and disgust, and enjoyed it.
At this time, the meal was delivered, and the middle-aged woman who brought them lightly said, "Be quiet, don't you want to eat?"
Hearing these words, these children's arrogance only converged, and their faces were innocent.
...
The next day.
The silver-gray clouds gradually spread out, and the sunlight fell on the slums.
In the rainy season, this is a rare sunny good weather.
It happens that today, for the children of Meishan Orphanage, it is also a long-awaited big day-adoption day!
All families who made appointments in advance rushed to the orphanage on this day to select their satisfied children.
Early in the morning, Du Dian got up on time. Although there is no alarm clock in this world, his biological clock has never made mistakes. After getting up, he finished the bedding, washed his face with simple filtered well water, and picked up another set of scrubs beside the pillow. The white, coarse cloth was just about to be put on. Suddenly, there was a small soft ball in it. It felt like a purple handkerchief.
Du Dien froze for a moment, and couldn't help thinking of the little girl who led himself to this orphanage in the cold night. Unfortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see the other side clearly. During these three months in the orphanage, he It is naturally known that those who can afford this delicate fabric are definitely the top figures in the outer wall area.
The handkerchief was still left to wipe the black spots left on his face, which could not be cleaned.
After being silent for a while, Du Dean put the handkerchief into his arms, then put on his clothes and ran to the open space outside the orphanage.
Although he had only one parent in his heart, he had to let himself be adopted as soon as possible. If the child was not adopted by the age of 13, he would be abandoned by the orphanage and sent to the back of this Meishan orphanage Mining in the mines under the control of the Meishan Coal Mine Chamber of Commerce has become a permanent free labor. Until exhaustion and old death, there will never be a chance to see the sun again.
Like Du Dean, on this day, all the children in the orphanage "dressed up" and washed themselves one by one and put on clothes that they could not wear for a long time. These clothes were distributed when they first entered the orphanage. Denim clothes coming down.
If your body emits an odor, no one wants to be close to you.
This is what Aunt Dai warned them.
Looking around, a large group of children stood in front of the sand wetted by rain in front of the orphanage, but they were divided into two camps, sound and deformed.
After all the children stood up, the adults who came to adopt, led by Aunt Dai and other orphanage caregivers, came to the children and looked at the group of orphans who might become their own children.
"Good aunt and uncle."
Under the guidance of Aunt Dai, except for Du Dean and several other non-speaking freaks, all the other children shouted obediently, their eyes full of innocence, and their faces full of longing and hope to meet the adults This hot eye made some adults feel sighed and unbearable.
Soon, the crowd was thin and tall, but the tall Du Dean became the target of all adults. The pale skin color was too striking, and the temperament was very different from the children around him. The specifics are different, the adults also said No, I just feel that this child is very calm, there is a kind of noble, yes, it is noble.
This surprised many adults. I didn't expect that there would be such outstanding seedlings in orphanages in slums.
For a time, many adults were moved.
