Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 496: hope

Views:

In Nini's home, just as the bearded man was still searching for food, Donna, wrapped in thick black cloth, tiptoed in.

Seeing the bearded man rummaging for food, she gritted her teeth, raised a big stone in her hand, and smashed it hard on his head.

As the bearded man fell to the ground, scarlet blood quickly spread on the ground.

"Nini, hurry up! Let's leave here, it's not safe anymore!" Donna rushed forward, stuffed her daughter into her thick coat, and rushed outside.

The two rushed out of the room and were exposed to the warm sunshine. Fortunately, they were separated by thick black cloth, so they were protected from the direct sunlight.

The world outside is sunny and bright, and the warm sunshine spreads all over the island. Without the spores of the Crown of the World, the air has become very fresh.

If it weren't for the stinking corpses and the dried and twisted mushrooms everywhere on the roadside, it would be a scenic tourist island.

"Mom, Shanshan said that she was going to help me find food. If we leave, what if she can't find us later?" Nini touched her chest worriedly.

Donna ran quickly along the street corner and touched her daughter's head with her right hand. "Don't talk nonsense. The world's crown has collapsed. After falling from such a high place, Shanshan and her parents are already dead."

"But she clearly just said..." Just as Nini was about to say something, her mother's hand covered her mouth directly. She heard some noise.

Donna turned around and quickly hid in a dilapidated house without a roof.

She approached the dusty window cautiously and looked outside.

After a while, several cars drove into their village. They were large trucks used by the dock to collect grain.

The car stopped and a group of men with large cloths tied on their heads walked out of the car. They had ferocious expressions and held various weapons in their hands.

"Go find them! Go find every household! Drive everyone out! The Governor wants all men and women! Anyone who dares to resist will be shot!"

The people who got off the car quickly dispersed and rushed in all directions. Soon, gunshots and screams were heard.

Donna quickly shrank back, rushed to the bottom of the dusty bed, hugged her daughter and shivered.

"Mom, what do they want us to do?" Nini looked at her mother trembling.

Dongna closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously. "Shh, stop talking. When they leave, I'll take them to a cellar in the east. There's still half a bag of rye there. It will last the two of us for half a month."

"So... what about half a month later?"

Hearing her daughter's words, Donna's lips trembled violently and tears couldn't help but flow down.

She couldn't answer this question. She thought everything was over and life was getting better and better, but despair shrouded her life.

That light destroyed everything. With the collapse of the crown of the world, everything was over and many people died.

She didn't want anything else now, she just wanted her daughter to survive as long as possible.

Just at this moment, a pair of black men's leather shoes stepped into the abandoned house.

After turning around a little, the pair of leather shoes walked towards the bed under Donna's desperate eyes.

Accompanied by the screams of Donna and Nini, the bed was suddenly lifted open.

"There's so much dust on the ground, your footprints are clearly visible, why are you hiding?"

The person who spoke was a one-eyed man with a face full of flesh. When he saw Nini's appearance, a hint of lust appeared on his face.

Donna stood directly in front of her daughter, her eyes wide open, like a lioness protecting her cubs.

"What are you doing! Are you even human?! How old is she?!"

"It's the end of the world, who cares if I'm human or not? I'm tired of playing with the big ones, now I'm playing with the small ones! I don't care what happens tomorrow, I'm just having fun first!!"

After saying that, the one-eyed man rushed forward, kicked Donna away with a whip kick, and pounced on Nini.

However, just as he put his hand into Nini's clothes, his excited smile froze.

He raised his hand tremblingly, and then found that his fingers and palm were completely gone. The cut was very smooth and no blood was flowing.

As he wailed and held his severed hand, scarlet blood spurted out.

"You bitch! How dare you trick me!" The one-eyed man with a distorted expression quickly raised his revolver and kept pulling the trigger.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" Several tentacles with green eyes stretched out from Nini's clothes and caught the bullet instantly.

Under the one-eyed dragon's horrified gaze, more and more tentacles stretched out from inside, eventually forming a horrifying, wriggling tentacle monster in mid-air.

“What the hell…what the hell is this thing?!” The one-eyed dragon turned around and was about to run away, but a shining tentacle stretched out and dragged him into its body amid his desperate wails.

A few seconds later, under the shocked gaze of Donna and Nini, the tentacle monster in the air quickly retracted, and Shanshan appeared in the same place with a big bag in his hand.

Nini's eyes widened as she reached into her arms and took out the painting. After comparing them, she said in surprise: "Shanshan, the one you drew before was actually you."

Nini didn't look scared at all.

"Well, I wanted to tell you, but my mother wouldn't let me." Shanshan said as he took out a piece of steak from his big pocket. "Aren't you hungry? I'll bring you something to eat."

Seeing the delicious food, Nini suddenly felt even hungrier. She was about to rush forward but was stopped by Donna.

The woman's eyes showed extreme anxiety, and her voice seemed very flustered, "Shanshan, go away, Nini is not hungry."

Shanshan tilted his head to look at her, then walked in front of them and handed the steak in his hand to Nini. "Won't people get hungry if they don't eat?"

Nini reached out and took it directly, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's okay, she is Shanshan, she is my friend."

Nini bit hard on the brown sauce-covered steak, and her eyes lit up immediately. "Mmm! It's delicious! Mom, try it, it's even better than bananas."

Dongna didn't answer it. She looked at Shanshan with horror, "Who... who are you?"

"I'm Shanshan." Shanshan said, reaching out and putting a small bag of seeds into Donna's hand. "These are banana seeds, food that can grow in the sun, two harvests a year, and the planting method is written on the note inside."

Hearing this, Donna couldn't believe her ears. Her face turned red with excitement and her breathing was obviously much faster than before.

"This... Is this food that can grow under the death light?!" Of course she understood what this meant. It meant that they were alive and they didn't have to die!

She couldn't help but let her tears flow down. There was no fear in her eyes anymore about Shanshan who could turn into a monster. She pulled her daughter and prostrated herself in front of Shanshan.

"Thank you! Although we don't know what you are, to us, you are our God!"
