Make a promise

The woman who called herself Promise looked at Ethan without saying a word, obviously aware that her question was a little abrupt, and quickly changed the subject: "My name is Promise, and you?"

Ask first and last names, such questions should be acceptable to strangers meeting for the first time.

"Ethan."

"What's the Chinese name?"

"Ee. Sen." Ethan paused deliberately, took a bite out of the half-hard bread, and asked, "Is it a fight to the death in two days?"

Such a question let promise overjoyed, she is worried do not know how to open, the other party has asked out.

"Yes, a fight to the death."

"What kind of battle was that? The ring kind?" Ethan sat down slowly, leaned against the bars, and asked softly.

"No, these people are going to put all of our powers into a 'dead town,' where we live and die, until some organization or some family sees your abilities and buys you, and then you can leave that dead town." Promise to learn Ethan's appearance, the body close to the iron fence slowly slide, sitting on the ground, beautiful eyes with a trace of fear, the voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"Or maybe you're killed in the town of death before you've even been picked up by a buyer, and dozens of people are left there every month, never to leave." Promise held his knees, his body curled up together, his face buried deep in his arms.

"A fight to the death of dozens of men? And these dozens of people are Powers?" Ethan froze. Are you kidding me? Dozens of Powers? And with such a high death rate, this Baytown base let a valuable power die?

What Ethan could never have imagined, however, was that, more than the sale of powers, what really made Bay City rich was the gambling game set up by this battle.

The money from the game is worth more than the dozens of powers themselves.

"Well, it's all Powers that the Marauders have picked up from all over the country, and some of them are collected by the Marauders, and some of them are up for sale, and then they're thrown into the town of Death to kill each other." Promise slowly raised her cheek, dirty face has been hanging a tear, like an injured cat, the delicate and poor soft cute appearance is really distressed, but Ethan is only eating bread, thinking about the credibility of the woman to give the news.

"I was under the impression that Powers were treasures, priceless treasures." Ethan asked tentatively, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Baby?" Promise obviously doesn't understand Ethan's environment, and maybe in a small base like Luling, Powers are a treasure, but across the continent, Powers are numerous and diverse.

For every ten ordinary people, there are five walking dead, four ordinary people, and one Power. And given the huge population base, the number of powers is actually not a lot.

"Isn't it? Ethan asked rhetorically.

"There are 40 cells, each holding two prisoners, and each prisoner is a Power. Powers are treasures?" Promise smiled and shook his head, with a hint of bitterness in his voice, "I used to think I was a treasure, but now I linger here like a stray dog."

In an instant, Ethan was speechless, and the promised words brought a very big impact on Ethan's values.

"The real treasure is the one who has powers and is powerful, the one who is ruthless, the one who has no heart." Promise said, slowly turned his head, eyes fixed on Ethan's body, "is the kind of people who have been through many wars, really experienced the war."

"Not all soldiers have experienced war." Ethan spoke, dispelling any illusions of promise.

But Ethan underestimated the promise's desire for survival.

"But all the soldiers are ready for war,

Train hard for it." Promise whispered. "How can a man like me live if he can't lay his hands on a cat or a dog?"

Promise to bite the lower lip, white teeth will be the white lip bite without blood: "I hate my own cowardice, to tell you the truth, I have tried to start on a zombie, I really tried, I have warned myself countless times that they are monsters, is to kill me, but... But I don't dare, I really don't dare..."

"What does this thing do?" Ethan interrupted the self-pity of the promise, he was as hard as a stone man, and continued to ask about the information he needed.

"This?" With a faint tear on his face, Promise held up his hands, which were handcuffed like all prisoners, and glowed with blue light.

"HMM." Ethan nodded, flexing his wrists a little. The cuffs were really tight.

"They've developed something that inhibits powers, and when you wear it, it inhibits your powers, otherwise this prison would have been turned upside down." Promise began to explain.

"Restraining powers?" Ethan frowned. Did this Baytown base have some misunderstanding of its own identity? No one else knows it, but Ethan knows full well that he's not a Power at all.

"Yes, what are your powers?" Promise asked curiously.

Ethan shook his head. There was no explanation.

Seeing Ethan's mysterious appearance, the expression of promise was slightly sad, shook the messy long hair, and lowered his eyes: "We can, we can team up, we need to help each other, I swear, my ability is still useful, I can help you avoid some attacks at the critical moment."

"Team up..." Ethan murmured softly, the brain kept running, as much as possible to speculate what kind of power is the promise.

"Will you?" Promise heard Ethan's whisper and scrambled up on his knees, clutching the iron bars with both hands and a tinge of excitement in his voice.

She had already fought two life and death battles in Bay City, and fortunately, her ability allowed her to survive such a high death rate battle, but at the same time, she was not bought.

Perhaps, because she was not good at expressing herself, she was always on the run, on the run, trying to avoid every battle as carefully as possible. In the same way, her name has gradually been known by the prisoners here, and some contestants know this power who only knows how to escape but has no fighting ability, so the promise has become a pastry in everyone's eyes.

According to the rules, any player can kill five people and leave the town of Death early. People with such combat effectiveness, even if they are not bought by big forces and big families, they will be absorbed by looters, to put it plainly, this is a shortcut to survival, those who are weak, but dare to kill the contestants, have fixed their eyes on the promise.

So, Promise desperately needs a protective umbrella, she does not know how long her ability can help her, she does not even know the day after tomorrow this time, is not her death time.

"What are the rules of a fight to the death?" Ethan continued.

"Um..." She promised to be silent for a long time, but finally told the truth, because she knew that she could not deceive Ethan, that tomorrow someone would come to read the rules routinely, and that if she let Ethan know her lie, then the good will that the half bread had brought might be lost.

Of course, the promise from Ethan's expressionless face, can not see whether the other side has a trace of good feelings for themselves. However, the promise is still working hard, still full of hope, or the title of "soldier" gives the promise the reason and motivation to work hard.

The promise slowly said, "The first way out: kill five contestants and come out early." The second: in the course of the battle by a force, bid to buy. The battle for Deadtown will cease until the chosen Power is removed from the battlefield and the fight to the death continues."

"The fighting lasted 24 hours and no one was allowed to leave the town limits. Those who are not bought and those who are not dead will be taken back into custody for the next fight to the death." Promise sighed and slowly introduced the rules.

"So, UU read www.uukanshu.com your ability to get through 24 hours and survive a fight to the death?" Ethan asked calmly.

"Two dead fights." Promise spoke quickly, as if to show Ethan his worth.

"Then you don't seem to need company." Ethan frowned and noticed something strange.

"I... I..." Promise a cross in the heart, handed over the old, this age but 24, 5 years old woman, in the end is still tender, "I was targeted by some contestants, in their eyes, I am a death quota, is their eyes that 1/5."

'Why? As soon as Ethan had finished speaking, he knew he was asking more, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a weak and timid woman.

"I... I can only run, I can't fight." The promise hesitated for a long time, but suppressed a word.

Describing a fight to the death as a "fight", this girl does have some fun.

Ethan turned his head silently glancing at the promise, although tattered clothes, dusty face, but it can not cover the woman's eyes like autumn water, from the facial features, she looks good, perhaps because of long-term malnutrition, the body appears very thin, but the foundation is very good.

The shape condition is very good, if in peacetime, this is probably the goddess that most people flock to.

Too bad I was born in the wrong era.

Say... Maybe everyone was born in the wrong decade.

What Ethan didn't know was that just one day later, Ethan would overturn his exclamation, it turns out that some people are very suitable for this age, they are like a fish in this chaotic order, get everything they want, happy, and even control the wind and rain.
