Black street was one of the most dim and disorderly areas in the Spring City.
Most of the people living there were the people at the bottom of this bustling fortress. They had no powerful abilities and no special means of earning a living. Some were ordinary people without any abilities. Only the most dirty and tiring work of the whole town could be done, and they could barely survive.
Xiao Chai had lived in this black street since he was a child. He didn’t remember who his parents were and had no name. Because he was used to petty thieves and was often chased and beaten by people on the street, he got a random name called Xiao Chai.(chase)
The seven or eight year old boy squatted across from Lai Lao San’s grocery store and drooled at the glass jar filled with colorful candy at the door of the store. The thick glass jar was made of wire hoops and locked with a large brass lock, indicating that the jar contained golden and precious food that could not easily be touched.
He hadn’t tasted this kind of sweet food ever since he was small. At this moment, Xiao Chai couldn’t help but think of the new friend he met a few days ago. The man’s hand was broken and he laid alone in the small dark room.
So pitiful.
But someone bought candies for him.
If only someone was willing to buy candies for him to eat, he swallowed his saliva.
That friend was so stingy that he didn’t even give one to him. But besides that, he could be regarded as a good friend. At least he listened to him quietly, unlike others who scolded or despised him. It was a pity that when he went there again, that friend no longer lived in that room. He didn’t know where he went.
Xiao Chai went back to his residence, in a pile of waste shacks. His house looked a bit weird. If looked carefully, one could see that the little tent squeezed in the corner was a low-level demon. The ribs were used as a bracket to piece together various broken demon body fragments, and there was an appliance that could barely have the function of locking the door.
Five years ago, a huge green moon appeared inexplicably in the sky, and the demons fell. Since the advent of the demons, the ecological environment on the planet has changed drastically. More than two-thirds of human beings had become magical creatures. Human civilization had subverted for many years and entered the era of wasteland.
With the changes of the years, the material left over from the golden age was gradually scarce, and humans had begun to learn to extract the materials needed for life in a new ecological environment. A large number of sturdy or special-purpose demon bodies were fully utilized by humans in all aspects of battle and life. Although there were a large number of demons, and there were also a large number of professional demon hunters who frequently engaged with demons, this precious material that required bloody battles was not easy to find in places like the black street.
Xiao Chai got so many demons’ waste that no one else could use, and even put them together into a relatively sturdy “house”. In the golden age, children as old as him played with building blocks. However, in just five years, the strong adaptability of human beings manifested itself in this child. Not only a child less than ten years old was able to survive in such a harsh environment, but even did his best to improve his living environment.
Xiao Chai opened the curtain made of rags. In the narrow space, except for a small piece of piled rags that was used to sleep, the rest of the place was piled up messily with waste. There was almost no place to sit. From the scraps of various low-level demons that have been transformed, it could be seen that this child had a strong practical ability and had the ability to melt demons. A dilapidated refrigerator that had been completely rusted was his cabinet filled with various treasures he had collected. For example, some toy robots with boxes containing marbles and two broken legs.
That day, beside the rusty remote control car, there was a transparent plastic bag with its mouth open, and a few colorful candies rolled out.
Xiao Chai grabbed this beautifully packed bag in disbelief. Each candy in the bag was crystal clear and bright, like a colorful gemstone carefully crafted. The little boy twisted one, carefully extended his tongue and licked it. A sweet taste spread in his mouth.
He opened the door inexplicably and looked out.
Outside the house was still the litter with mosquitoes, and the dim street. Zhang Dafa from the neighbor came out with the toilet, poured a bucket of dirt directly into the ditch not far away, and spit in his direction.
