Humans were always warm, and the drinker himself knew it!
In the apocalypse, although the destruction of order could not mean that everyone had turned into demons, the people who caused the greatest harm to you were often not your enemies, but your relatives or friends.
Luo Gang, who had become an advanced warrior on the third day of the apocalypse, had finally reached the end of his rope. With the three kids and only the last pieces of stale bread and a bottle of drinking water, Luo Gang finally reached the end of his tether.
In the apocalypse, the matter of the dead was not a big deal, and he didn't blame anyone. When the North District was in the vogue and established a guild, he and a few surviving brothers formed a guild called the Righteous Society. In just a few days, the guild had grown from a few people to more than ten people.
Although there was no main battle profession and he wasn't the guild leader, as one of the guild's founders, even the guild's name was given to him. He never would have thought that a few days later, when his comrades were secretly holding a meeting at home, they would approve a decision not to distribute rations to the families of the members who weren't allowed to directly participate in the battle.
In the entire guild, he was the only one with three children. This meeting was clearly for him, so he tried to argue, but was ultimately rejected by everyone. In a fit of anger, he announced his withdrawal from the Society of Righteousness
"You three are not allowed to leave, no matter what happens, dad will be back soon!"
After arranging for the three children to wait at home, Luo Gang dragged his injured leg and limped out of the house.
His injury happened during the autumn wind when the zombies attacked in the morning. Although the autumn wind had risked his life to cut down a few small blood crystals and successfully advanced his youngest daughter to the next stage, and he also had two small blood crystals as savings, they could replenish his body quickly but ultimately, he was unable to eat.
Although the injury to his leg was not serious, without any medicine, even his stomach could not fill up. Even if the evolved humans had strong self-recovery abilities, it would take at least three or four days for them to completely recover, so he could not wait any longer. He had to find a boss who would accept them today.
"Big Brother, the Heaven Seal Guild is recruiting again, I'm here to apply!"
Arriving in front of the recruitment booth at the entrance of the Heavenly Seal Guild's encampment entrance, Luo Gang accompanied his smiling face as he asked a few soldiers in charge of recruitment who stood to the side.
"Fill out the form first!"
The person in charge of the recruitment handed over a recruitment piece of paper and a pen politely. The form was an application form for enlistment from the era of peace. Without electricity in the apocalypse, the printed products were all from the era of peace.
Squatting at the side, Luo Gang quickly filled out the form and wrote down a declaration to join the guild on the back as required. He guaranteed that he would do as he was told and that he would do whatever he wanted.
"There are three family members and they are all children. I think you should go to the other guilds to try your luck!"
Luo Gang took the form and looked at it. The recruitment officer who gave him the form frowned and returned it to him.
"There are indeed three children in the family. The oldest is already twelve years old, and both have advanced! Furthermore, I am not an ordinary person who advanced, and am also a professional. Aren't you clearly stating that those who advance are the first and receive preferential treatment! " Luo Gang asked carefully!
Maybe it was because there were too few people coming to apply for the job, so the recruitment staff didn't notice it at the moment.
"I'm a material disintegrator!" Luo Gang answered honestly.
"Material analyst, a technician from a chemical factory in the peaceful era. We are talking about the occupation of the last generation of the secret plane, not a technical worker like the former electrician. If you continue to joke with us like this, I won't hold back!"
Since he had never heard of a material disintegrator in the apocalypse, the recruitment officer thought it was a joke.
"Although the Material Disintegrator isn't a main fighting profession, it's still an official profession. I learned it from a Secret Realm Job Scroll, I'm not joking with you!"
"Material decomposer?" The secondary occupation of the apocalypse? What ability do you have to explain or demonstrate! "
"This demonstration might be quite expensive. My skill is to disintegrate the weapons produced by the secret plane or the equipment produced by the other professions into materials!"
"There is such a class. Wait a moment, I'll ask our team leader!"
Noticing Luo Gang's serious expression, a few of the recruitment staff discussed among themselves before quickly running into the station.
Not long after, the recruiter came out again. Luo Gang immediately went over to inquire about the situation.
The other party said helplessly, "Our leader is in a meeting. I've already passed you the form. Why don't you come back tomorrow and ask for the result!"
After the apocalypse, no one knew whether they would die today or tomorrow. The recruitment was decided on the spot. Luo Gang had no choice but to leave as he heard the other party's reply.
Before the apocalypse, he was a veteran gamer. He had always believed that his class was valuable, but now, these people were as short-sighted as his old buddies.
After leaving the Heaven Seal Guild, Luo Gang went to one of the two guilds. One of the guilds' recruiters forced him to demonstrate his skills on the spot, but in the end, he disintegrated the military knife that had been strengthened by an alchemist into a pile of scrap iron and some unknown powder.
"What the hell is this? It can only be destroyed and can't be manufactured. It can't be intentional, right? "
Appraisal of Luo Gang's profession was meaningless because the apocalypse did not require an environmental protection industry! The person who had forcefully requested Luo Gang to demonstrate his skills had lost a weapon and equipment for no reason, so he could only send him away with a bitter face.
"I found this! I dug it out! I'll fight with whoever dares to steal from me!"
A fifteen or sixteen year old child squeezed his way out of the crowd, clutching a tuber root that looked like a small sweet potato with both hands.
In the fight just now, there were many scratches on his face and head. Putting aside the crowd behind him, he was biting the sweet potato in his hand as he walked. In the apocalypse, food could only be counted as your real food if it reached your stomach.
The group of people chased after him for a hundred or so meters, and finally saw that the child had finished eating the food. Only after a round of competition did they finally calm down.
However, the good news did not last long. Not even a minute had passed since the child who ate the sweet potato fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. His entire body began to twitch.
Hungry people began to try to eat the young leaves or roots of mutated plants, but these things were completely different from the plants on Earth. Not only was the taste horrible, but most of them were poisonous to humans.
"Has it really come to this?"
Luo Gang was unwilling to accept this. He thought of the two small blood crystals he had with him. Although the risk of taking them out was great, his family of four would not be able to survive without food.
Taking advantage of the fact that he still had some stamina, Luo Gang made up his mind and walked back to the guild that had recruited him!
"Why did you come back? With that lousy class of yours, what's there left to be afraid of? If you only brought one child, you might have to consider it. But since you requested to bring three, who can afford the food in the guild!" The recruitment team leader who had just suffered a loss had a dark expression on his face.
"My eldest son is already twelve years old and is also an advanced stage. I plan to let him become self-reliant, so I'll just bring two younger sons along. What do you think?" Luo Gang steeled his heart and lowered his expectations for the first time.
At most, you can only bring one big one. If you can afford the two small ones, you can report to the guild tomorrow. For now, your profession is no different from no other.
The other side's reply once again caused Luo Gang to die and enter the guild. He finally made up his mind and took out a small blood crystal. He asked: "Brother, can you exchange it for some food? If you don't want it, then give me three pounds of food!"
The management of the guild was tight. Seeing that Luo Gang had the blood crystal in his hand, the leader's eyes suddenly lit up, but this was the recruitment area for his guild, and there were also some other people beside them. He could not rob them openly, so he could only push down the price: "One packet of instant noodles, this is the market!"
Luo Gang didn't even have the right to bid and just gritted his teeth as he agreed.
He turned around to return home with the instant noodles exchanged with a small blood crystal. When he walked to the building's downstairs, he suddenly found that a few men, who were in the recruitment area a moment ago, had quietly followed him.
If he remembered correctly, the three brothers behind him were all ordinary people, because they were hired by an outsider and were given only three taels of food a day.
It was reasonable for advanced people to rob the poor, but for advanced people to rob someone who had advanced in their cultivation, it was unlikely for them to have an absolute advantage under normal circumstances. But now, it was the opposite, three ordinary people actually wanted to rob him, this advanced person.
No matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he couldn't figure it out. The other side was following them closely, so it was obvious that they didn't have any good intentions. It seemed that the situation was getting worse after the apocalypse.
"What should we do?"
As Luo Gang walked, he quickly made plans in his mind.
He definitely couldn't go back home. If he went back home and had three children, then he would be in an even more passive situation.
He hoped that after feeling that he had made up his mind, the other party would give up on him. After all, even if he was injured, his physical strength and reaction speed was still far above the other party's. When he arrived at the entrance of the building, Luo Gang stopped without going upstairs.
"Bro, why are you following me?" Luo Gang bellowed with a vicious look in his eyes.
"We brothers have not eaten for a whole day. We only need half of it!" Seeing that Luo Gang had discovered his whereabouts, the other party did not dawdle and immediately drew his watermelon knife.
"For the sake of half a piece of instant noodles, a few ordinary people want to rob an advanced cultivator. Are they tired of living?" Luo Gang roared in a low voice, hoping to scare them off with the natural fear that ordinary people had towards those who advanced.
"If you weren't injured, of course we wouldn't dare, but even if you shrieked and shrieked with injuries, we wouldn't be afraid of you." If you weren't injured, of course we wouldn't be afraid of you, but even if you shrieked with injuries, we wouldn't be afraid of you. Relying on his numbers, the other party was fearless.
"For the sake of half a piece of instant noodles, you don't even mind losing blood?"
"You have to ask yourself that?"
"You know, there are still three kids in my house, and they haven't eaten for a day. If you come again, I'll really fight you to the death!"
In this apocalyptic world, the child will eventually die. You are a professional with a boundless future, so if you don't want to give us food, you can give us a few blood crystals.
Luo Gang finally understood that these people were not here just for the food. Although he only took out one blood crystal at that time, the other side thought that he might have more on him, so in a sense, their adventure was worth it.
In the apocalypse, it didn't matter who had the food or blood crystals originally. The most important thing was who would get it in the end.
There were some things that made sense. He, who had already experienced the coldness of human nature, resolutely pulled out his short knife. The one who was going to come was going to come eventually. He had already prepared for the worst.
"Dad —"
Just when both sides were about to start a war, Luo Gang's daughter suddenly ran down the stairs.
"Your daughter, right? She's quite pretty!"
Two of the three men continued to fight Luo Gang with swords. The other man turned around and walked towards Luo Gang's daughter in a complacent manner.
Luo Gang turned pale with fright at the sudden appearance of his daughter at a dangerous moment!
