The Dark King -Frozen for three hundred years
Chapter 1
Rainy season.
In an instant black and gloomy clouds enveloped the sunny sky. The rain began. It poured down heavily and the slum dwellers, who were doing daily activities, immediately went back into their houses, for fear of the rain falling on them.
Rainwater began to acc.u.mulate in streets and spread rapidly in the slums. Most of the poor housings have been immersed in the rain to the threshold. The drainage system that is unrepaired for ages doesn’t do it’s job at the moment. The entire outer wall of the slums have become a vast expanse to rainwater.
In the Meishan orphanage.
Near the door. A woman in her thirties leads a dozen children, aging seven or eighteen to eleven-year-old, to carry the sandbags that had been made beforehands to be stacked on top of the threshold, blocking the raging floods.
“Dudian, come over to help!”
“It’s useless to call him, he’s a fool.”
“Really!”
A few sweating boys tired from holding the sandbags, not far from the window, saw a little boy standing quietly. Even though they are angry, they know that is useless. They can only bite their tonges and continue to hand the sandbags to be sent to the door.
The little boy looked seven or eight years old, thin, but tall. He looked similar to an eleven-year-old big boy. The most conspicuous is his color, very white, even a bit morbid pale. Other people skins are dark because of exposure to bright sun light. Because of his skin color he was envied by many children.
Dudian sighs in his heart. Although he has been left in the cold storage for more than three months, his body has not yet recovered. The body can not afford to lift anything.
It very difficult to him even to stand up. Let alone carry sandbags to block the rain.
However, such a situation has been regarded as unfortunate. After all, when the disaster spread to China, the Inst.i.tute has just made the first freezer. There was not enough time for the experimental stage. n.o.body knew about this kind of failure. It is already a little miracle for him to sleep for three hundred years in the freezer.
Nevertheless, he does not feel happy.
He survived. But his parents and sister stayed down, facing the terrible disaster. Even if they are very lucky and survived, now after three hundred years has long been buried in the dust.
In this vast world, he no longer has loved ones. He is alone alone, facing the new world.
He did not despair. Although he griefs, he is sad, but his parents gave him second life. He will not allow himself to go down easily. He won’t only live well, but also has to let deceased parents and sisters feel proud of himself!
Fortunately, G.o.d finally sheltered the human race. When he just climbed out from the cold storage, the original thought that came to his mind was that he is the only person alive on earth. Until he walked out of the cold storage warehouse of garbage dumps only to find that humans have not been extinct. In that disaster seems to have survived a few people down, and after three hundred years of development, has a good size.
Unfortunately three hundred years ago civilization and technology has been destroyed by the disaster. He did not see and hear any symbol of the old era of science and technology items. Not only technology of the old era was lost. The power of the planet, even the basic life is extremely difficult.
While he was in his thoughts, the storm outside the window gradually stopped down.
Looking at the threshold of the water level stopped rising, all the people in the house felt relieved. As if experienced a lasting battle, everyone has a kind of exhausted feeling. At this time, the middle-aged woman who looked at the sky, see the clouds gradually open a little, revealing cloudy sky immediately said: “ready to go to the cafeteria to eat”
All children who hears the word “eat”, eyes light up. The previous fatigue also swept away, each returned to the room to wear wax gra.s.s shoes, well-behaved line up.
“Dean, get ready to eat.” At this time, a voice called out to Dudian. The one talking to him is a seven-year-old boy. He patted Dudian’s shoulder and gestured with one hand, pointing to the direction of the canteen.
Dudian remembers him. He is called Barton. In the orphanage he is one of the few well-intentioned children to him. In three hundred years of change, the language has long been changed. When he first came to the orphanage, he didn’t understand their language. He stood silent all the time. Everyone felt that he is r.e.t.a.r.ded and may have brain problems.
So naturally, he was divided into such a deformed child with Barton.
Orphanage children are divided into two factions. First is physically abandoned by their parents. Second ones are the physically deformed kids abandoned by their parents.
Dudian nodded, said understand, and then followed Barton came to the ranks of the column. Barton just want to call Dudian first put on the gra.s.s sandals, inadvertently looked down, only to find Dudian’s trousers, has long been wearing a pair of light green Gaotong shoes, can not help but dumb.
In this world plastic has not invented. Wax gra.s.s production of shoes and clothes to become the most commonly used rain gear, which is a natural variation of gra.s.s, can be seen everywhere, leaves large surface fine convex wax layer can effectively block the radiation rain. It has become an essential household items.
Everyone carefully walked along the threshold before a narrow stone paved half a meter high trail. The rainwater only flooded to the ankle, if accidentally fell into the water, even the strongest would inevitably get a serious illness .
In the the cafeteria, all immediately began to seize the best seats. The limited seats immediately were taken by those healthy children. Dudian and Barton and other body deformed kids have long been accustomed to the back corner. There are several stacked stones which is used as their table.
“I heard this time to adopt a child a doctor and a construction worker has come.”
“Dai aunt said so, but also let us seize this opportunity, a good performance.”
“If you can be adopted by a doctor, it would be awesome.”
“I would have liked to be adopted by the construction worker, and there might be hope of climbing the giant wall of Silvia to see the world outside the giant wall.”
Barton and several other children whispered to chat up. None of these children looks normal, some with less ears, or half of the face is full of small meat.
Dudian heard their words, eyes flashed but kept silent.
“Unfortunately, Dean’s brain is not good, or to Dean’s appearance and body, will certainly be selected by those people.” Patton suddenly sighed, looked to Dudian with some regret.
The other children looked at the unresponsive Dudian, all shaking their head.
They have long agreed, no matter who is adopted, and have to do their best to come back to help the rest of the people. On the surface Dudian is no doubt the most promising to be adopted, but with the brain problems his chances are very low. It is even worse than the kids with physical problems, such as the half of the face is full of lumps. Although it looks scary, but the hands and feet are sound, brain is normal, at least can find a job in future.
“A bunch of mutilated things, but also want us to grab the adoption opportunity.” At this time, Leng Heng a thin child seated closeby, heard a few words of Barton, contemptuously said.
His words immediately attracted the attention of others. Disdain and disgust filled eyes fall on Dudian, Barton and others.
Relative to the deformed children, they are physically sound but abandoned people, the heart of the hostility is more important.
Dudian quietly looked at these people. Did not say anything. Although he is a child, his heart is harder than most of the adults.
Mo Yang’s eyes gazed at Dudian.
“Look at this fool. He won’t understand even if you call him.”
“No wonder he was abandoned. A fool!”
“Want to be adopted? Obediently wait for thirteen years of age. Afterwards will be thrown into the mine for manual labor!
These children do not hide their contempt and disgust, and in a sense as a form of pleasure.
At this time, the food was given. Middle aged women light shouted: “quiet down, do you not want to eat?
Hearing this, the children of the arrogance changed their faces innocent looks, as if nothing happened.
…
The next day.
Silver gray clouds gradually stretch, the sun spilled down to the slums.
In the rainy season, this is a rare fine weather.
Just today for the children of Meishan orphanage, is also a long-awaited big day – adoption day!
All advance booking of the family, have come this day to the orphanage, to pick a child.
Early in the morning, Doudian will get up on time, although the world has no alarm clock, but his biological clock has never been wrong. After getting up finished the bedding. With a simple filtered well water washed the face. Picks up white coa.r.s.e clothes by the pillow to put on. Suddenly finds purple handkerchief within the cloth.
Dudian was startled. Can not help but think of that cold night. He was led to the orphanage by a little girl. Unfortunately the sky was dark, did not see each others appearance. In the orphanage, for the last three months he gets to know, to afford to use this fine cloth, is definitely from the upper reaches of the outer wall area.
Handkerchief still left his face to wipe dirt of his face.
Dudian puts the handkerchief in his cloth and goes to the open s.p.a.ce outside the orphanage.
Although in his mind there is only his biological parents. But he has to be adopted as soon as possible, if by the 13 years of age has not been adopted to a family, the orphanage will give up nurturing him. He will be given from Meishan orphanage to Meishan Chamber of Commerce as a permament free labor. Meishan Chamber of Commerce is the controlling body of the mine. As a free labor he will be forced to work until exhausted and old age. He will never have the opportunity to see the light of day.
On the same day, all the children of the orphanage were “dressed up”. One by one washed themselves clean and put on a line.
If your body exudes an odor, no one wants to be near you.
This is the aunt controling the orphanage told them.
Looking around the orphanage, on the wet sand stands a large group of children. Vividly divided into two camps, sound and deformed ones.
When all the children had stood up in a line, the grown-up men, under the care of Diana and other orphanage workers, came to the children and looked at the orphans who might be their potential children.
Under the guidance of Dai Aunt, in addition to Dudian and several other people will not speak of the deformities. Wu Yuliu eyes are full of innocence, full of desire and hope to welcome the grown ups. Wu Yuliu’s eyes are teary so that some adults feel sad and could not bear to not choose her.
Soon the thin but tall Dudian became the goal of all adults attention. Pale as snow skin color is too eye-catching. His temperament with the surrounding children is very different. The child is very calm, there is a kind of extravagant aura surrounding him.
This makes a lot of adults surprised, did not think in the slums of the orphanage, there will be such a good seedling.
For a time, many adults hearts are weavering.
