On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Chapter 111 1

Gray sky, dilapidated buildings, a completely unfamiliar place.

Messy weeds grew out from the cracks between the bricks. In the bleak yard, a few yellow leaves fell from the dead tree in the center. The shabby swing swayed lonely in the wind, making a creaking sound.

Where is this? Is this another dream? Shichu thought calmly.

But this time she seemed to have become a different person. She tried to control this body, but found that she couldn't do it at all. She was like a ghost attached to this body, without any autonomy. She couldn't change or influence the other party's behavior. She could only follow the other party's actions and observe the world through her eyes.

At the end of the sight is a rusty iron door with a big lock hanging on it, emitting a cold breath, and the smell of decay and decline is everywhere here.

The owner of this body sat quietly on the broken steps, staring at the dead tree in the yard without saying a word, as if thinking about something.

Is this dream the same as the previous one? Maybe it will end on its own when the time is up.

Shi Chu stayed with her like this, waiting for the dream to end.

"Eleven, don't sit there, you will get sick." A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind.

So the owner of this body is called "Eleven"? But this doesn't sound like a name, but more like a number.

The little girl named Eleven turned around and looked at the person in front of her. Her tender voice echoed in the dilapidated space, and she called her softly, "Aunt Dean."

"Eleven, be obedient. It's dangerous outside. Let's go back." The man touched her head, bent down, stretched out his hands, and gently picked her up.

The visitor frowned slightly, looking at the girl's thin cheeks and skinny body, with mixed feelings.

Eleven is lighter than before. If she continues like this, she might end up like the previous child. To be honest, "Eleven" is not the child's name. All the children here are named numbers. When they come here, it doesn't matter what they were called in the past.

Because this is an orphanage, the children who come here have no relatives, and this is the last place that can help them survive. For them, names or numbers are no longer important.

Eleven came to the orphanage three years ago, when she was a child less than three years old.

She still remembered that day. It was a cloudy day. A group of people came with a dozen children, saying that they were orphans whose parents and relatives had died in the calamity caused by the star beasts, and they hoped that the orphanage could take them in.

Among the dozen or so children, she saw Eleven at a glance, a small white ball with dust on his face. His eyes, as clear as glass, looked straight at her. He just stood there quietly, not crying or making a fuss, completely different from the crying and shouting children next to him.

Later, she took in those children. Before they came, several children fell ill and died, so the numbers became vacant and the new children inherited their previous numbers.

“Eleven, don’t run around in the future. There are star beasts everywhere now. I heard that there are also star beasts in the main star area. Please don’t make me worry, okay?” The man sighed. The situation is becoming more and more serious. If it continues like this, mankind may soon be extinct.

She pulled Eleven's thin skirt and hugged the thin girl tightly in her arms, using her body temperature to warm her and protect her from the bleak and cold autumn wind.

Winter is coming soon. Normally, we should wear thick clothes in this kind of weather, but all the resources of the alliance are in short supply now. The orphanage has not received this year's cold-resistant supplies yet, so we probably can't wait.

The fighting situation at the front line is fierce, and all supplies must be supplied to the front line first. There is no other way. If it weren't for the desperate resistance of those soldiers of the alliance, mankind would have been finished long ago, and they would have probably become food in the stomachs of star beasts long ago.

Alas, I don’t know how many people will die in the orphanage this year. How will we survive?

She sighed helplessly and sadly, and walked towards a gray and white building with Eleven in her arms.

"Eleven, I'll go back and alter your old clothes. Wear them and don't get sick. There's no medicine in the hospital right now. It will be very troublesome if you get sick. Do you understand?"

"Got it, Aunt Dean."

The deep inky color around them gradually surged up, submerging their figures, and the silent world returned to nothingness again.

……

"Shichu?" Someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder from behind, and smiled as he put his head in front of her, but was frightened by her pale face and quickly shrank back.

Shi Chu raised his eyelids lazily, his eyes a little blurry and dazed.

"You didn't come to school this week. Did something happen?" The man paused and continued, "Come to think of it, you also took a week off not long ago."

There was a gleam of curiosity in the man's eyes, and he wanted to find out what was going on.

"I haven't been feeling well lately, so I asked for leave to rest." Shi Chu said indifferently.

The practical test will be coming up soon. She has already mastered the theoretical knowledge, so there is no need to go to school. It is better to practice at home. So she asked for three days off last week. After informing Luo Yanchi, Icles quickly approved her application.

Moreover, her health is indeed not very good, and it should be said that it is already worrying, especially her mental state! There is a kind of obsessive beauty.

She has been practicing at home these days. Apart from eating and sleeping, she does tasks on the game panel and practices her mental strength.

She practiced the Wordless Sutra until she could no longer bear the pain and was on the verge of collapse, so she switched to practicing the Lingwu Heart Sutra. After resting, she continued to practice the Wordless Sutra, repeating this cycle over and over again. She tortured herself for three days, and it was amazing that she didn't go crazy.

In addition, she had a strange dream last night and did not sleep well. Now she felt a little dazed and had the feeling of being transformed into an immortal. In layman's terms, she felt like she was going to die.

"Oh, I see. By the way, did you know that the A-level star beasts attacked the main planet last week?" The man glanced at her quietly, lowered his head and approached her and said slowly, "I think the female beta in that photo looks a bit like you. Do you have a dress like that? I think I saw you wearing it a few times before."

Shichu propped up his head with his hands, gave a pale and weak smile, and said breathlessly, "Do you think I can do it?"

The man looked her up and down, she looked like she was going to die soon, and said with an awkward smile: "That's right, well, I won't disturb you anymore, you should have a good rest."

In her current state, she would probably faint if she saw an A-level star beast. Yes, how could she, an ordinary beta, be the one who killed the star beast? After more than two years of getting along, all the classmates in the class knew what her strength level was. It was not even at the level of a normal beta, which was unbearable to look at.

He was really sick. He actually thought that the person in the photo was his classmate, the beta girl who had good theoretical grades but terrible practical results.

After the man finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Shi Chu sitting alone in the seat.
