MTL - My Talent Can Constantly Evolve-Chapter 1 food stamps

"If only I could become a warrior..."

The rain was falling, and Lu Heng huddled alone under the eaves in the corner of the street to avoid the cold wind of winter.

bell bell bell —

Suddenly, there was a rush of bells not far away, suppressing the sound of stomping feet here.

"School is over, she should be here soon, right?"

Lu Heng stuck his head out and looked at the other side of the street. Sure enough, a shadowy figure with an umbrella was walking towards him.

The girl soon came to Lu Heng's side.

"Give."

A pink and delicate little hand handed a small paper bag folded with oiled paper to Lu Heng.

"thanks!"

Lu Heng stretched out his slightly rough hand and carefully took the small paper bag, then tried his best to say in a solemn tone, "I, I will definitely return these food stamps to you in the future."

"If you have time to say this, you might as well think about how to keep her."

The girl's voice was cold, but there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

After speaking, she turned and left.

On the other side of the street, there was a girl in the same school uniform waiting for her.

"Shiyao, why did you send food stamps to Lu Heng again? He is so embarrassed to accept them."

As the girl spoke, she looked behind Liu Shiyao and frowned slightly, "I remember he used to be strong in school."

"No matter how strong people are, they have to bow their heads to reality, let alone in this world."

Liu Shiyao sighed softly, then raised her eyes to look forward.

"Let's go, get to the car quickly."

"Um."

The two quickened their pace, turned a street corner against the cold wind, and came to the edge of a main road.

There was a luxury car parked on the side of the road waiting quietly in front, which seemed out of place in the deserted street with only large public vehicles.

When the driver saw the two approaching, he quickly got out of the car and opened the car door. After the two got into the back row of the car, he returned to the cab swiftly and started the car.

"Shiyao, the college entrance examination is coming next year. Are you going to take the University of Science and Technology or Wuhan University?"

"The University of Science and Technology, I still prefer to study scientific theories and explore unknown mysteries."

"Well, it is really good for you to study science. In the future, when you become a scientist, you can do scientific research in the city safely, and you can also enjoy the privileges given by the government."

The girl agreed with Liu Shiyao's words, "Besides, the uncle is a master. It's not easy to train you as a warrior."

"Yeah, for me, becoming a martial artist is just a choice, but for him, it's the only way out of the predicament. Unfortunately, I can't help them either."

"Shiyao, why are you so sentimental? There are monsters raging in the wilderness outside the city, and there are otherworldly passages that need to be guarded. How can there be excess food to feed the disabled. You also know that the farms in the outer city die every day, and every grain of rice is In exchange for human life."

"I know, I just sighed."

"Hey, you are still too kind." The girl shook her head helplessly.

Liu Shiyao didn't answer, and the car was quiet for a while, except for the sound of rain and tire noise.

…

Lu Heng wrapped his shabby and shabby jacket tightly and ran down the alley.

In the distance, high-rise buildings with mottled and outdated appearances stand across the road, densely packed, almost next to each other.

His home is in one of these buildings.

"Go and change the food first."

Lu Heng clenched the small packet of food stamps in his hand, with a rare smile on his face.

These food stamps, plus the ones I earned, are enough for two people to survive this winter.

In the distance, there was a long queue outside the grain store in the community, moving forward at a turtle speed.

This community covers an area of ​​only 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, but there are nearly 200,000 people living there, so the only grain store is like this every day.

Lu Heng waited in line for three hours to get a 70-pound synthetic food block, as well as a pound of different kinds of pickles and a bit of jerky.

For ordinary people in this city, these foods are already very good.

At least for the Lu Heng brothers and sisters, it is enough to eat every meal in the following days.

In this world, being able to eat enough is already a very happy thing.

39th Floor, Building 3, Unit C.

Lu Heng hummed and stopped, and finally managed to resist the grain to this layer, so hot that his whole body was soaked with sweat.

In this era, materials and land are extremely scarce, and there is no room for elevators in the buildings where the civilians live. Fortunately, everyone's physique is much better than in the old days, and the problem of taking the stairs is not big.

"Little one, I'm back."

Lu Heng opened the door and said to the nine-year-old girl sitting in the armchair.

This is his own younger sister. She has big eyes and fair skin. Unfortunately, her lower body is paralyzed. She can only sit on a chair every day, and she basically has no ability to take care of herself.

Lu Heng turned around, put the sack on his shoulders in the corridor, and dragged him backwards into the cramped room.

The house is only 30 square meters in area, and every inch of space is used to the extreme. If you carry such a large bag in, it will be difficult to turn around.

But for the two brothers and sisters, the house seems very empty, because the parents were killed by monsters on the farm in the outer city, and the eldest brother died in the military service.

There is no longer the lively and warm atmosphere that it used to be.

"Second brother, here it is!"

Lu Heng had just finished packing his things, when Lu Xiaoli tried his best to lean over and hand over a towel.

"Little one, sit still and don't move. I'll cook first."

After wiping off his sweat and straightening Xiao Xiao's crooked body, Lu Heng turned around and started cooking.

In fact, cooking is nothing more than cooking synthetic food blocks.

In this era, there are very few people who can afford rice noodles, fruits, vegetables and fresh meat. Ordinary people don't even think about it.

The farms in the outer city are so large that they can't grow much, and can only guarantee the lives of warriors and a small number of people.

The synthetic food blocks that ordinary people eat are synthesized from the meat of some edible monsters and some wild plants in the wilderness. The taste is not bad, but that's all.

Of course, for people who are often hungry, this synthetic food block can be called a delicacy on earth.

After a while, the room was filled with the fragrance of cooked food pieces. Lu Heng took a greedy breath and asked with a smile, "Little, is it fragrant?"

"Scent, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is so fragrant!"

Goo—

The belly of the two of them made a grunting sound.

"Let's have dinner!"

Lu Heng energetically opened a folding table and placed it in front of Lu Xiaoxiao, then turned around and stirred the synthetic food pieces in the pot into a paste.

Only at this time every day can he forget all his troubles and enjoy life happily.

Two bowls of gooey and a small plate of pickles were quickly served. This was the brother and sister's dinner.

"Brother, today's dinner is so rich." Lu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and smiled.

Hearing his sister's words, Lu Heng felt sad.

Compared with the days when my parents and elder brother were still around, the meal right now is not as good as a meal. Where can the richness come from?

It can only be said that my sister is too sensible. In contrast, she was always bickering with her elder brother when she was so old.

"Xiao Xiao, in a few days, brother will get some fresh monster meat, it will be delicious." Lu Heng smiled and touched his sister's little head.

Who knew that when Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, he would restrain his smile and lower his head, staring blankly at the mush in the bowl.

"Brother, I think it's good to eat these things. If you eat too much meat, you will grow fleshy and fat, and Xiaoxiao doesn't want to be ugly." Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was soft and glutinous, with a tone in her tone. beg.

Lu Heng smiled wryly, how thin is his younger sister, still afraid of gaining weight?

Of course, no matter what his sister said, he would not change his mind. In any case, he had to let her have a good meal before leaving.

'If only I could become a warrior, not only would I not have to do compulsory military service, but I would also be able to keep Xiao Xiao. ’

Lu Heng clenched his fists secretly, feeling very painful in his heart.

There are only a little more than two months left, I'm afraid it won't help.
