Lost heart Bay, two days before the tsunami, the terminal area


    "the last batch, the last batch! There are three seats left in old John''s boat! Buy it now for ten blood coins! At noon The sailor growled in his hoarse voice. His eyes swept over the crowd on the dock. The announcement of the tsunami came too late, and many ships never landed in the enlarged foggy sea area. The combination of these two factors is bound to make many people unable to afford emergency shelter. But what about that? No one, whether the captain or the sailor, cares about the lives of these poor people. Anyway, lost heart Bay is never short of manpower. There are more exiled people from all over the world than the tide brought by the tsunami. In addition, there are merchants specialized in population trading in lost heart Bay. In this port city, human life is no more precious than that of rats. So when a sailor looks at these people, it''s like watching a group of mice scurrying for their lives before the sewer is filled with water.


    But be careful, these rats are very dangerous. They don''t care whether the cat or the human is in front of them. In order to survive, even though the teeth are fragile and the claws are small, the mice have nothing to lose, so they are certainly fearless. The sailor knew this, so he held on to the mast behind him and kept himself out of reach of the crowd. But he was still vigilant, and then he found a figure that was quietly trying to climb up the boat.


    "Someone wants a free ride! Guys, let him know that there is no free lunch in the world! Send him down to the sea to feed the fish Cried the sailor to the ship, and soon a few of the crew found out the man who had been plotting. They grinned grimly, with harpoons in their hands, and picked off the hood of the man who wanted to sneak aboard, revealing a young but frightening face below. First of all, it is certain that this is a child, and what is certain is that the child should have some serious disease. His right half of his face has turned into purplish brown, covered with sores and ulcerative scratches. In the orbit of his right eye, there was only a disgusting pus. No wonder he had to wear a hood to cover his face.


    "It turned out to be a sick chicken." The sailor who picked out the boy''s Hood said scornfully, and raised the harpoon to stab. But another man who seemed to be older stopped him. He was the captain of the ship. He was called toothless John. The bearded captain opened his mouth, revealing a row of well-made gold teeth. He did lose all his teeth in his early career as a sailor, but John always believed that it was a gift from the sea god to make room for these new teeth.


    Captain John chewed the juicy palms in his mouth, looked down at the child, and said in a low voice, "sea fever, ah, in normal times, this sick chicken can be sold to witches, and they will use his eyes to cook medicine. Don''t kill him with a harpoon. His illness will stick to the edge of the blade. In the end, all the people in our boat must be buried with him! Fool! Take the oar and smash him down, and let the fish and shrimp eat his body. "


    Hearing the captain''s order, the sailors quickly put down the harpoon and used the oar to beat the boy in the outer side of the boat, and beat him down. Toothless John didn''t even see what the boy looked like when he fell into the water. He went up to the stern of the boat, looked at the people in the harbor, and spit out what he was chewing among them. "Ha, it seems that ten blood dollars are too much for you poor people? And I can leave here with three empty places, and let you become fish food under the tsunami. But I''m very kind, so I''ll give you a chance. " He looked up at the sun in the sky, which was so clean and frightening because of the tsunami. "When that thing goes to the top, I''ll accept the two highest bidders."


    What is the highest bid? People living in heartless Bay know that the easiest way to answer this question is to get rid of other bidders. As the captain''s voice dropped, some people began to nervously move towards the exit of the dock, while others put their hands into their arms or put them on the edge of their boots and looked at the people around them with fierce eyes. It is inevitable that there will be a battle over boarding qualification. The captain grinned, and his gold teeth reflected cold color in the sun. He didn''t make such a price because of cruelty. He just wanted to add two strong enough crew members to his ship. Besides, for people living in this impossible City, killing and being killed are not cruel.


    Blood, along the cracks in the wooden plank on the wharf, flowed into the sea water below, and dyed a large area red. It also attracts the predatory fish that are originally interested in children, giving the former the opportunity to drag their thin bodies and struggle to climb ashore at a distance. Curses, screams, groans excited by the killing, mingled with the cries of seagulls as they circled in the sky and the churning of flesh thirsty fish in the sea. Is the sound harsh? Perhaps for those who grew up in areas with clear morality and law, it was harsh. But for a child who grew up drinking blood, it was too common. It''s not worth seeing more often. What he was concerned about was that he had missed the chance to sneak into the boat, and that the tsunami was more dangerous than a mad crowd.


    What to do? What should be done to make this child suffering from sea sickness survive the tsunami? He thought hard, but because of the limited knowledge he knew, his already hungry body could not provide more energy for the brain. This so-called "desperate" could not achieve any effect. What a pain. He looked at his right hand with his left eye. The skin on it was like fish scales, festering and cracking, giving off a bad smell. Maybe it''s easier to die, but I hope I can try to eat before I die. It is said that people will sleep soundly after they are full, and death is very similar to sleep.Suddenly, the words of the captain with gold teeth burst into the child''s mind, and the witch would use her right eye to cook medicine. Then maybe they are willing to buy their own lives at the price of a full meal Will it? The child bit his lips. Although he was born in this city ruled by witches, he did not actually see witches. After all, they spent most of their time in that stone fortress. "Goo!" Hunger, urging him, compared with starvation in hesitation, the child knows what to do. Just like all the people in lost heart Bay do, whatever means, regardless of the consequences, live, enjoy, and then die in pleasure!
