"No, no, no! Don't seal it. That's my only house. I still have a wife and daughter. Please give me some time. I will definitely be able to raise funds. Please."
Eric, with runny noses and tears, begged the employees of the Adelaide Lending Company, hoping they would let him and his family go.
Behind him, his wife, holding her daughter in her arms, watched with despair as Adelaide employees loaded their valuables, including their Moto bicycles, onto a steam wagon and then affixed a seal to their only house.
"Mr. Eric, don't embarrass us. We are just running errands and there is really nothing we can do to help you. Take my advice and go to the relief station now. Maybe you can get a piece of bread."
Adelaide employee Jim couldn't bear it, but he still forcefully pulled Eric's hand off his clothes.
He sympathized with Eric's family.
But he couldn't lose the job in front of him.
Even if it is almost completely without pay, just providing three meals is enough for him to cherish.
Especially in the face of this sudden catastrophe.
In fact, Eric has repossessed his eleventh house today, and there is still a long list of tasks on his list.
"No! Do you want our family to die? Ah! Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"
Eric, who begged to no avail, suddenly pulled out a pistol hysterically and pointed it at the forehead of Adelaide employee Jim.
Jim was stunned and subconsciously raised his hands.
But the mercenary who followed them quickly raised a more powerful submachine gun and aimed it at Eric.
One of them even shone with magical light.
"No - Eric, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Eric's wife left her daughter behind, rushed over, and grabbed Eric's pistol.
"I, we can't live without a home!" Eric trembled.
"We are home together. Don't be impulsive. Eva is still young and she can't live without her father." The wife held her husband's pistol in one hand and hugged her husband desperately with the other.
"dad-"
The daughter's screams of terror were the straw that broke the camel's back.
Eric lost his strength instantly and put down his pistol.
The family of three hugged each other and cried together.
The employees in Adelaide seemed to have seen this scene so many times that they no longer felt the initial emotion, and some were only wary.
Even Jim felt a little regretful.
They stared at Eric's family warily, finally boarded the truck and drove away.
This family is left almost torn apart.
Eric, who was crying on his wife's shoulder, felt in a daze as he looked at the house that had been sealed and completely vacated.
Scenes from the past came to mind.
About three or four years ago, when he was still a poor boy, he came to the city from the countryside and settled down with the simple idea of changing his destiny.
In fact, there are more job opportunities in the city than in the countryside.
Not afraid of hardship, he changed many jobs and finally gained a foothold in a factory.
The stable salary makes him dare to spend money.
He bought a bicycle, fell in love, got married, and had a baby.
The factory was very profitable and soon opened a branch factory.
Because of his hard work, he was promoted to line leader and received a salary increase.
With a lot of money in his hands, and the factory's profits being very good, in order to provide a better environment for his children, he gritted his teeth and bought a house with a loan.
Internet bank loan review is very strict and the review cycle is long.
It is almost impossible for a worker like him to pass, and even if he could pass, he would not be able to wait for the long review cycle.
So he took the channel most people would choose and found a private lending company - Adelaide.
Once he had a house, he soon became restless again.
He wants to buy a Moto.
Because many people in the factory bought it.
As a line leader, he can be considered a small leader after all. Riding a bicycle all day is too shabby.
With the encouragement of his colleagues around him, he made a calculation, gritted his teeth, and simply took out a loan to buy the magic tool.
Although more than half of his monthly salary has to be repaid, Eric is still very satisfied with this aristocratic life of living in a new house and riding a magic tool.
Who would have thought that just when the future is bright, the end will quietly come.
The factory collapsed;
House prices have fallen and the debt has become insolvent;
Debt exploded;
Homeless.
The new aristocrat who rode a motorcycle through the streets a few days ago has become a tramp today, no, a tramp with a family!
Eric walked blankly on the street, looking at the countless gentlemen on the street with job-hunting nameplates on their chests and even selling their assets, and his heart was filled with despair.
What happened to this world
"Eric, my mother said that my brother is seriously ill and may be infective to others, so... so..."
The wife suddenly started to hesitate.
Eric gradually came back to his senses.
Oh, my wife is asking her parents for help.
"He didn't join Life Insurance?" Eric asked subconsciously.
"He...he...I, I don't know very well..."
Seeing his wife's evasive eyes, Eric suddenly realized.
That's right, the whole world is crazy poor, who is willing to accept three mouths that can only go in but not come out
"Go to my hometown. Even though it's in the countryside, no matter how hard it is, you can still dig some okra to satisfy your hunger." Eric thought for a moment.
"Okay." The wife nodded.
Eric put his arm around his wife's shoulders, not knowing whether he wanted to comfort her or himself.
"Brother, join us. We have a powerful magician who can turn rocks and trees into soldiers. We also have food to eat! We have a house to live in..."
A withered old hand grabbed Eric.
The owner of the hand is a skinny man who enthusiastically promotes the mysterious organization behind him.
heresy!
Eric was shocked, broke away quickly, and waved his hands repeatedly.
When did heretics dare to act so openly
Eric, who accepted the baptism of the most traditional transformation religion, felt a turmoil in his heart.
He even subconsciously wanted to log into the Star Network and report that there was a heresy here.
However, he was worried about being retaliated against, so he suppressed the idea and decided to report it after leaving the city.
"Let's go!"
After this episode, Eric couldn't stay any longer. He held his daughter tightly in his arms and took his wife to leave this place of right and wrong.
"Wow..."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the street.
Eric's quick eyesight and quick hands quickly pulled his wife and daughter to the side of the road.
I saw a group of people with oil paint on their faces, holding flags, splitting the crowd with a mighty force, shouting slogans with fanatical expressions.
"Give me back my property and my job!"
"Investigate Adelaide thoroughly and overthrow the city lord's palace!"
Various slogans pierced the long street, shaking people's hearts and making them uneasy.
Eric was shocked!
The slogans here are clearly disrespectful and blasphemous towards the nobility, the transformation religion, and even the gods.
Just saying a random sentence is enough to send you to jail. Are they crazy
Eric trembled all over.
He realized something was terribly wrong.
Before he could grab his wife and leave the place of right and wrong, a cold voice floated over the city.
"Kill all the heretics!"
Eric was horrified and subconsciously followed the sound.
I saw several priests of the Transformation Cult floating in the sky at the end of the street.
At their feet, the berserker warriors wearing red armor and holding back their anger hit their shields with their axes, making a shocking impact. Then they stepped on the sky-shaking steps and charged in unison with roars.
"The Transformation Cult is killing people!"
"Brothers, fight them!"
"For the goddess of wisdom!"
"Fire! Fire!"
"Da da da… "
"Boom—"
"Mommy mommy-"
In an instant, the long street was in chaos.
Some of the parading pagans fled in fear, some shouted fanatically, and some smiled coldly and charged!
More often than not, one's mind goes blank, and one is stupidly coerced by the crowd, or launches a death charge, or gets involved in a street corner alley.
The crowds were like waves crashing onto the shore, lapping at the shops on both sides of the street.
Gunshots, roars, howls, explosions, and magic whizzing all hit my ears, one after another!
"Boom—"
An earth-shattering explosion came from outside the city.
Eric, who was holding his daughter and pulling his wife, tried his best to escape and looked subconsciously at the sound. The blood on his face suddenly disappeared, and he looked like a dead person.
I saw a divine shield suddenly covering the city, and the billowing flames licked the shield, burning with the flames of death.
war!
War is coming!
Eric, who had been influenced by the Internet and broadened his horizons, immediately realized what had happened.
But what he saw before him was not the excitement shared by the six senses in the movie; nor was it the exhilaration of the fourth natural disaster; nor was it the turmoil of ordinary life, but real terror and despair.
His life is completely shattered!
