Dawn calendar 423 years.
On the first Sunday in June, the black and yellow land was dead silent.
In a corner of the land, a rock moved, and a rock scorpion nearly meters long broke through the rock and crawled out. After the War of Dawn, 50% of the original species on the earth have completely disappeared. However, most of the remaining ones have already evolved into dangerous creatures.
The surviving humans call these creatures "dangerous species".
The rock scorpion was looking for food, when a huge aura suddenly rose from afar. This breath is so huge that it seems like a mountain is coming across the sky. The rock scorpion looked up, and saw a shadow crawling towards it.
The shadow was so vast that it stretched almost across the horizon. It moved forward at a slow but constant speed, and what cast its shadow was a floating island comparable in size to the state of Texas, which was one of the greatest creations of mankind after the War of Dawn. The floating island of Babylon is driven by Rubik's Cube energy, and it keeps orbiting the planet like a near-Earth satellite according to the set orbit.
It wasn't until evening that the floating island of Babylon became a silhouette in the distant sky. At this time, Gobi became lively again. Some of these dangerous species, like rock scorpions, are gradually moving towards the western edge of the Gobi, where there is a small town where people make a living by mining. And humans, in the eyes of dangerous species, are the best food.
The town is not big, with hundreds of people living there. The houses are simple, and the iron sheds that can shelter from the wind and rain are already luxury houses. What's more, it is a bungalow built randomly with wooden planks and rusty iron sheets.
On the outskirts of the town, there is a circle of barbed wire and a sharpened wooden fence at one end. They can effectively prevent some low-level dangerous species from breaking into the town, and at night, there will be three or five hunters acting as guards, guarding the exit of the town with torches.
The night is not necessarily completely dark, in the wilderness outside the town. Blue, green, red, dots of strange fluorescence are swimming. Suddenly, a rough gunshot sounded from the entrance of the town, which came from gunpowder. The sound of the gun echoed in the wilderness at night, so the fluorescent light wandering in the dark night was much less.
One wore a cowboy hat and a checkered shirt with patches. Wearing a pair of frayed jeans and oil-stained boots, the man is putting away the double-barreled shotgun that still emits blue smoke from the muzzle. He was in his prime, with gray-blue eyes, and the blue beard circled on his well-defined face was as hard as steel thorns.
"Damn, there are more and more dangerous species." The man cursed in a low voice.
"Come on, Uzi. You are the best hunter in our town. The more dangerous species you have, the more money you make? I think you are having fun." A bald black man joked, his left eye Wearing a blindfold, the lower joint of the right leg is equipped with a mechanical prosthesis. The black man was carrying a submachine gun. It was a second-hand item, but it was more powerful than the shotgun in the cowboy's hand.
"Shut up, Pig. I mean it," said the cowboy, a little annoyed.
"Okay, Pig, don't provoke Uzi, he's not in a good mood right now." The last hunter, wearing a miner's hat and a leather jacket, looked a bit nondescript. He was playing with a dagger in his hand, and the dagger twirled lightly between his five fingers as if spiritually, drawing out circles of orange rainbow light in the dark night against the firelight.
The black man patted his head and laughed loudly: "By the way, I almost forgot that Lanny seems to be giving birth tonight."
"That's not the worst, Pig. The biggest problem is that our Uzi boss doesn't seem to even kiss Lanny's little mouth, and she's going into labor."
so arrogant
Laughter with a bit of sarcasm sounded at the entrance of the town, and then Uzi's angry voice echoed in the night sky: "God, if you don't shut up, I'll use this gun to stab your ass! "
However, not only did the shouting have no effect, but it actually made the two of them laugh even louder. Just when Uzi was about to take action, a woman's scream sounded from the town. Hearing the scream, all three hunters looked into town. The black man sighed: "I don't know which bastard is so lucky to be able to get a hot girl like Lan Ni. But that bitch, son of a bitch, just abandoned a woman like this, he really isn't a fucking man!"
The knife hunter looked at the cowboy and said in a deep voice, "What are your plans, Uzi? Lanny is no longer a girl, but a mother."
"No matter who she is, I will take care of her!" Uzi's tone could not be refuted.
In the dark night, beside the town entrance, a faint sigh drifted away with the wind.
In a passable tin house in the center of the town, several middle-aged women circled around a bed.
"Try harder, Lanny. I can see his little head."
"For God's sake, stretch it out a bit more."
"Yes, that's it. Use the strength of your belly, miss!"
Giving birth is so difficult, but this is only the first hurdle a new life has to overcome. Fortunately, this little life has a strong mother. With a hoarse cry, the new life was finally born smoothly.
"Look, it's a boy." A woman with short hair wrapped the baby in a tattered blanket and placed him in front of her mother's bed.
The young mother looked at her own flesh and blood wearily. On her little blood-stained face, her nose was long and straight, and her big bright red eyes were curiously looking at this strange world. His lips were tightly pursed into a knife-sharpened line, with a little stubbornness. Unlike other newborns, he didn't cry or make noise, and was eerily quiet.
The women next to her were talking a lot, and they didn't shut up until they were glared at by the short-haired woman. The short-haired woman said softly, "Lanny, he is your son. Have you thought of a name yet?"
The young mother nodded and looked at the baby with complex emotions in her eyes, but said in a soft voice: "Alan, his name is Alan."
When he heard his mother's voice, the baby's expression froze slightly. Then he turned his head and looked at the woman who gave birth to him. Finally, the tightly pursed lips drew an arc.
he laughed.
Seeing this childish smile, the mother felt that the fire in her heart seemed to subside a lot.
In June of the dawn calendar 423, Alan was born this year. The first image he remembered was his mother's beautiful and tired face. And what people remember is the baby who didn't cry, but no one knows. Alan, who was just born, already has a memory!
The world is still advancing at its own pace, and the gears of time are clenched and turning. The noble people on the floating island of Babylon are still having fun, and Mobitt, who has just been elected as the new president, has just finished a feast of celebration, but in an inconspicuous corner of the surface, an extraordinary life just dies. born.
Fate always likes to leave a small surprise when people don't expect it.
In the 428th year of the dawn calendar, on the last Saturday in late autumn, the sound of bang bang bang bang resounded in the town.
It was the assembly number for buying winter supplies. When a woman walked into an alley with a big bag of food, a few people sitting on the corner
The man nodded and followed.
It was getting late, night fell.
In the alley, the woman has already spotted the stalker behind her. She quickened her pace, and just as the men were about to make a move, a double-barreled shotgun suddenly protruded from the shadows in the corner, and the black muzzle immediately silenced them.
Uzipin, still in denim attire as five years ago, emerged from the shadows with a shotgun raised. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette was almost exhausted. Uzi spit the cigarette butt up, and said in a deep voice, "Get lost!"
Under the threat of guns, several men gradually retreated and disappeared into the alley. Then Uzi put away his gun and walked towards the woman: "I came back in time, Lanny."
The woman lifted off her veil, revealing a beautiful face. She sighed softly, "I owe you another favor."
"Come on, I'm still counting on getting your free treatment when I'm injured." Uzi held up his cowboy hat with the muzzle of his gun, showing an open-minded smile.
"Come on, let me carry it for you, it looks heavy enough."
The cowboy took the bag from Lanny and walked with her back home to town. It was a tin house, simple but tight enough to block the snow and ice in winter. As soon as he entered the room, a small figure crashed into Lan Ni's arms. Lanny knelt down and picked him up. Under the light is a five-year-old child, but he looks stronger than other children of the same age.
He has short pale gray hair which is rare, and under the reflection of the light, the pale light shines like thousands of fireflies.
The boy has a childish face and already has a chiseled outline. It can be imagined that when he grows up, he must be a handsome man. It's just that there is a small bruise on the child's cheek now, which makes Lanny frown: "What's going on?"
There was a trace of panic in the boy's eyes, and then he looked at Uzi for help. Uzi smiled and shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do. The boy had no choice but to bite his lip and said, "Today Moss next door said I was a white-haired pig, so I..."
He looked at Lanny, who had a stern expression on her face. The boy had to go on: "So I punched him on the nose, and then he pushed me down on the ground, just like that accidentally. But don't worry, Mom, I've already cleaned up that guy, and he won't be in the future." Dare to scold me again."
Uzi whistled: "That's right, Alan. The little guy Moss seems to be a year older than you."
"To be correct, he's 13 months older than me!" the boy corrected.
Lanny glanced at Uzi angrily, and the latter shut up obediently. She sighed, stroked the child's hair and said, "Alan, not everything can be solved with fists. Besides, you will always meet guys you can't win. What will you do then?"
The boy rolled his big bright red eyes and blurted out, "I'll run away, and then I'll come back and make him look good when I'm bigger and stronger!"
Then he said triumphantly: "But Mom, there is no guy I can't beat until now. The things Uncle Uzi taught me are so easy to use."
Uzi's face suddenly became awkward. When Lanny turned his head, he smiled wryly: "I only taught him some things to protect himself, really."
"Well, I suddenly remembered that Pig had something to discuss with me, so I'll leave first."
The cowboy fled. Looking at the man's back, Lanny shook her head: "Come on, it's time for us to eat."
