MTL - The Dark King-Chapter 1 : Freezing three hundred years
The rainy season.
When the torrential rain came, the sky that had just been scattered in the sun was immediately shrouded by dark clouds, and the rain fell down. The slum dwellers who were thinking about the activities immediately frightened and hid back to the house, fearing that they would be splashed by the rain. To the body.
Rainwater accumulated on the streets and quickly spread in the slums. Some low-lying poor houses have been immersed in the floodgates. The drainage system that has not been repaired has no effect at this moment. In a moment, the entire outer slums Has become a sea.
In the Meishan Orphanage.
At the door of the residential house, a woman in her thirties leads a dozen children between the ages of seven and eight and eleven, hurriedly carrying the already-made sandbags, stacked on the threshold, blocking the raging Into the rain.
"Du Dean, don't come to help!"
"It’s useless to call him. He is a fool."
"It's so mad!"
A few boys were sweating with sandbags and sweating. They saw a little boy standing quietly in front of the window. Some of them were angry, but they knew it was useless. They could only bite their teeth and continue to put sandbags in their hands. Send it to the door.
The little boy in front of the window looks like he is about seven or eight years old. He is thin, but his head is similar to other eleven-year-old children. The most conspicuous is his skin color, extremely white, and even a bit morbid pale. Others are incompatible with the dark and dirty skin of glare and ultraviolet rays, which makes many children envious.
But Du Di'an is sighing in his heart. This is the aftereffect of the frozen warehouse. Although he has left the frozen warehouse for more than three months, his body has not recovered, and the whole body can't lift it. In modern medicine, it is the muscle. Powerlessness.
When the light stands, it is very difficult.
Not to mention carrying sandbags to block the rain.
However, such a situation is already a blessing in misfortune. After all, when the disaster spread to China, the scientific research institute just made the first frozen warehouse. Before it came to the experimental stage, no one knew if there would be such a fault. He could be intact in the freezer. Sleeping for three hundred years is already a small miracle.
However, he is not happy.
He did survive, and his parents and sisters who made the frozen warehouse, but stayed, faced the terrible disaster, even if they survived very, very lucky, now three hundred years have passed, already buried In the dust.
In this world, he has no more than half of his loved ones. From then on, he will be alone, facing the world.
He did not despair, although his grief and sadness, but his parents gave him two lives, he will never allow himself to be derelict, he must not only live well, but also live to make himself proud, and let that has passed away. Parents and sisters are proud of themselves! !
Fortunately, God finally sheltered the human race. When he just climbed out of the freezer, he thought that there was only one person and one life on the earth until he got out of the garbage dump where the frozen warehouse was buried. It was discovered that human beings were not extinct. In the disaster, it seems that a small number of people survived, and after three hundred years of reproduction and development, they already have a good scale.
Regrettably, the civilization and technology that were three hundred years ago have been completely destroyed by the disaster. What he saw and heard during this time did not see and hear anything that symbolizes the technology of the old age. Human beings not only lost the conquest. The power of the planet, even the basic life, is extremely difficult.
When his thoughts were flying, the storm outside the window did not know when to stop.
Looking at the water level in front of the threshold stopped rising, everyone in the house relieved with relief, as if experienced a long-lasting battle, everyone has a feeling of exhaustion. At this time, the middle-aged woman looked at the sky, seeing the dark clouds gradually open a little, revealing the turbid skylight, knowing that it will not be down again for a while, immediately said: "Ready to go to the cafeteria to eat, all wearing wax shoes ""
All the children heard the word "meal", all eyes were bright, and the previous fatigue was swept away. They went back to the room and put on wax shoes, and they were arranged in a team.
"Dean, go to the shoes and get ready to eat." At this moment, the team called a voice to call Du Di'an, talking to a seven-eight-year-old boy, he just finished, like what he thought, slap his head, on Before taking Dudyan's shoulder, he used one hand to draw and point to the direction of the canteen, while the other arm sleeve was empty.
Du Di'an remembers him, called Barton, who is one of the few children who have goodwill to him in the courtyard. This is probably related to himself. The change of three hundred years, the language has already been refurbished. When he first came to the orphanage, he could not understand. What others say, they can't speak their language, they can only be silent, and over time, everyone thinks he is a bit stupid, and there may be problems with IQ.
So naturally, he is divided into a deformed child like Barton.
The children of the orphanage are divided into two factions. One is that the physical health is abandoned by the parents. The other is that the physical deformity is abandoned by the parents. In this world, even children, they have already learned to live in groups.
Du Dian nodded and said that he understood, and then followed Barton to the back of the team. Barton just wanted to ask Du Di'an to go to the grass shoes first, and looked down inadvertently, but found that Du Di'an's trouser legs, already wearing a pair of light green high-heeled shoes, could not help but be dumb.
In this world, no plastics have been invented. The shoes made of grass have become the most commonly used rain gear. This is a natural variant grass. It can be seen everywhere. The waxy layer with large blades and fine convex surface can effectively block the radiation rain. It has become an essential item for every household.
Everyone carefully walked along the half-meter high road paved by a narrow narrow stone in front of the threshold. The accumulated rain only flooded the ankle. If it fell into the water accidentally, even the strongest adult would inevitably have a serious illness. .
When I arrived at the cafeteria, everyone immediately began to grab the seats. The limited seats were swept away by the physically healthy children. Du Di’an and Barton and other physically deformed children were used to coming to the back corner. The stacked stones are their dining table.
"I heard that there are doctors and wall-builders in the adopters this time."
"Auntie said it, let us seize this opportunity and perform well."
"If you can be adopted by a doctor, you are too happy."
"I hope that it will be adopted by the wall-builders. Maybe there is hope to climb the giant wall of Sylvia and see the world outside the giant wall."
The food was not delivered yet, and Barton chatted with a few other children. The children either had fewer ears or half of the face were all small meat, and none of them looked normal.
When Du Di'an heard their words, his eyes flashed and he kept silent.
"Unfortunately, Dean's brain is not good, otherwise Dean's appearance and body will definitely be selected by those people." After chatting for a while, Barton suddenly sighed and looked at Du Dian, and said with some regrets.
The other children looked at Dudia, who did not respond, and they shook their heads and sighed.
They have long been negotiating. No matter who is adopted, they must come back to help the rest of the people. If they look at the appearance, Du Di'an is undoubtedly the most hopeful to adopt, but his brain is wrong, but It is more serious than the physical problems. For example, the half-faced face is full of fleshy children. Although it looks scary and scary, but the hands and feet are sound, the IQ is normal, at least can work hard and find a job.
"Hey, a bunch of broken things, I want to take the opportunity to adopt with us." At this time, the thin child in a nearby seat heard the words of Barton, and said coldly.
His words immediately caught the attention of others. For a time, the disgusting eyes fell on Du Di'an, Barton and others.
Relative to the deformed children, they are those who are physically healthy but abandoned, and the suffocation of the heart is heavier.
Du Dian looked at these people with a faint look. He didn't say anything. Although he was also a child, he saw more things, and he had a deep heart that many adults didn't have.
And his appearance, falling in the eyes of these people, is "stupid."
"Hey, this fool, he can't understand."
"The guy with a broken head, no wonder it was abandoned!"
"I still want to be adopted? I am waiting to be thrown into the mine to mine after I am 13 years old!"
These children do not hide their contempt and disgust, and enjoy it.
At this time, the food was delivered, and the middle-aged woman who brought them came lightly: "Quiet, don't want to eat?"
When I heard this, the arrogance of these children converges and looks innocent. It seems that nothing happened.
......
The next day.
The silver-gray dark clouds gradually spread out and the sun shone in the slums.
In the rainy season, this is a rare sunny weather.
Just today, for the children of the Meishan Orphanage, it is also a long-awaited big day - adoption day!
All families who booked in advance have come to the orphanage on this day to pick their own satisfied children.
Early in the morning, Du Di'an got up on time. Although there is no alarm clock in the world, his biological clock has never gone wrong. After getting up, he finishes the bedding, washes his face with a simple filtered well water, and picks up another set of scrubs next to the pillow. The white cloth was just ready to be replaced, and suddenly there was a soft small group inside, and it was a purple handkerchief that was smashed into a group.
Du Di'an stunned and couldn't help but think of the little girl who came to the orphanage in the cold night. It was a pity that it was dark and could not see the other side. In the three months of the orphanage, he Naturally, people who can afford this delicate fabric are definitely the upper-class people in the outer wall area.
There is still a black smear on the handkerchief that wipes his face and it is not clean.
After a moment of silence, Dudian collected her handkerchief into her arms and then changed her clothes to the open space outside the orphanage.
Although there is only one parent in his heart, he has to let himself be adopted as soon as possible. If he is a child who has not been adopted at the age of thirteen, he will be abandoned by the orphanage and sent to the back of the Meishan Orphanage. The mining in the mine controlled by the Meishan Coal Mine Chamber of Commerce has become a permanent free labor, until exhausted and old, there will never be a chance to see the sky again.
Like Du Di'an, on this day, all the children in the orphanage were “dressed up” and washed themselves one by one, replacing the clothes that they were reluctant to wear for a long time, and these clothes were all issued when they first entered the orphanage. The coarse cloth clothes that came down.
If your body smells bad, no one wants to be close to you.
This is what Auntie told them.
Looking around, there was a large group of children standing in front of the soaking sand in front of the orphanage, but it was faintly divided into two camps, sound and deformed.
After all the children stood up, the adults who came to adopt, led by the aunts and other orphanages, came to the children and looked at the orphans who might become their children.
"Uncle and aunt are good."
Under the guidance of Auntie, except for Du Di'an and several other malformed people who couldn't talk, all the other children all cleverly shouted, the sly eyes were full of innocence, full of eagerness and hope to meet the adults. This hot gaze makes some adults feel embarrassed and intolerable.
Soon, the crowd is thin, but the tall Dudiaan has become the target of all adults. The pale and snowy skin is too eye-catching, and the temperament is very different from the children around. The specifics are different, and the adults also say No, I only think that this child is very calm, there is an extravagance, yes, it is extravagant.
This surprised many adults. I didn't expect such an excellent seedling in an orphanage in a slum.
For a time, many adults were heartbroken.
