Chapter 245 (1/2)

“Daddy said that grandpa will protect me and help me to find my sister…” the little boy raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng with his pitiful red eyes.

Because of the freezing weather, the little boy’s cheek was red with cold. His red and swollen little hands that were hidden in his dirty sleeves were already frozen, leaving only a few fingers that were able to move.

There was a big hole in between the sole and the vamp on his right sneaker. Chu Yunsheng didn’t know whether it had already been like that or it was broken while the kid was trying to keep up with his pace clumsily earlier.

The hole was partially filled with soil and dirty snow, and a few little toes could be visibly seen through the gap. Perhaps, Chu Yunsheng’s constant stare made the boy feel nervous, his little toes instinctively shrunk back.

“Even if I found your sister, it…” originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to say that it would not work. After all, the person who made the decision in the castle was not his sister. Moreover, those horsewomen were only interested in his sister, not him, and their rules were not to keep the useless people.

But he couldn’t bring himself to say it. Looking for his sister probably was this boy’s only wish in this world.

“Eat something first, don’t let other people see it,” Chu Yunsheng took out a piece of cooked meat that he had prepared before he left the tomb and shoved it into the boy’s dirty sleeve.

The hungry boy didn’t have any meat for a very long time, so he wolfed it down very quickly. Fortunately, he still had some risk awareness, he was hiding behind Chu Yunsheng while eating the meat.

It didn’t take the kid very long to finish a small piece of meat. Then, he used both of his hands to hold the snow from the ground deftly. He used the tip of his tongue to melt the snow and drink it…

While the boy was busy drinking the snow. Chu Yunsheng still couldn’t figure out how to get into the castle. The castle was heavily guarded. All the useless people would be removed from the castle. It was something different from what he thought.

He could take advantage of darkness and sneak into the castle. However, it was very risky. It wouldn’t be a problem if there were just some skywalkers in the castle, but the main concern was those aliens and their aircraft. He couldn’t even find out how many of them exactly in the castle. Normally, one aircraft was more than enough to cause a problem for him, what if there were more than one, then it would be too risky.

…

“Young man, can I ask you something?” Chu Yunsheng said slowly. His voice was already changed. However, he still needed to control his talking speed.

“New to here? What do you want to know? Wait… Look at you two, a young and an old. How pathetic! I know what you want to ask! But first, you need to tell me if you got some food?” The young man who only had one hand glanced at the kid and Chu Yunsheng and then said feebly.

Chu Yunsheng put his hands in his pocket pretending to get some food for him. But he was immediately interrupted by the young man, “okay, that’s enough, I know you don’t have any food, so you may stop acting now. Look at you two, probably cannot even live through this evening! Just take my kindness as your last gift,” The young man intentionally drew his voice out slowly.

“People here also eat human?” Chu Yunsheng frowned. This was just outside the castle, and based on those horsewoman’s actions, Chu Yunsheng didn’t think the castle would allow this kind of behavior here.

“When it gets dark, anything can happen. It is considered a blessing if they just eat you… Sigh… why do I need to explain this to an old man, I’ll make it short. If you want to live, there are only two ways, and it is going to depend on your luck,” the man sighed.

“Which two?” Chu Yunsheng asked humbly.

“The first one is also the best one, see the entrance over there? You have a grandson, right? Take him there, if he is under 12, those women may be able to test out his… his… some kind potential… I don’t know much in detail…

Anyway…

If he is qualified, then, congratulations! At that time, don’t forget that it was me who provided you with the information!

Once your grandson gets in. Although he will not be able to eat some delicious food, he will be at least a lower-cla.s.s citizen. He will be able to send out his supplies to you and you will not die of starvation!

But don’t have high expectations, that’s a one in a hundred chance. Sometimes they couldn’t even find one person in a day. But you can still try your luck there,” the man said condescendingly.

“The second one is the one you should be considering. Look at those old, weak, sick and young people outside the castle. There are mainly two categories of those people, the people in the first category are the people who are related to someone in the castle, it doesn’t matter how close their relations.h.i.+p is, as long as they are related, those people will not die easily,

then the people in the second category are the ‘white people’. All the people who don’t have any contacts in the castle will be listed under this category, it is also the category that has the most people…

Hmm… anyway…

But no matter what category they fall in, they all need someone to protect them from outside. Without the protection, no one can live through the evening… What do you think they live on? Human flesh…” the young man poked the boy’s head and said evilly.

The boy was so scared that he instantly hid behind Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng just needed to consider the first one. The second one was no use to him. At worst, he would just try to sneak in during the night, he really didn’t have the time to hang around outside the castle.

It would be great if the boy was selected, then he would have an excuse to get into the castle.

“Thank you, I’ll take my kid to try it first,” Chu Yunsheng looked at the boy and said.
