Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 22 Emmerich and Chrissie
In the blink of an eye, the throats of the two Skeleton Gang members were twisted.

Unless they encounter regular troops head-on, Eta-class psychics are almost like "demons" to ordinary people!
Of course, before taking action, he did not forget to destroy the surveillance.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Alvin sneered and found dozens of crowns from the two scums.

After putting dozens of kronor in his pocket and taking back the tube of nutrient solution, he walked straight into the South District, the territory governed by the Skeleton Gang.

The areas in the lower nest are basically the same, and they all look the same, with dirty streets and alleys filled with sewage and radioactive exhaust. Corpses of people who died of starvation can be seen everywhere, as well as skinny scavengers who have lost all hope in life and move as slowly and stiffly as zombies.

Alvin knew that the reason for doing this was to save energy as much as possible and avoid consumption.

In the memory of his previous life, he often did this since his mother died of illness, and struggled to survive by going hungry for nine meals in three days.

Alvin, who had changed his clothes, found a dirty alley with almost no one around: "We shouldn't be discovered here. Let's hide for a few days and wait for Tucker."

Tightening his ill-fitting robe, he lowered his head and walked into the alley.

The brother and sister huddled together in the dirty alley. The older boy suddenly raised his head at the sudden appearance of the "outsider".

There was a nervous look on that dirty face.

There was a mixture of ferocity and vigilance in his eyes, like a wild beast defending its territory, staring at Alvin who had intruded.

"I have no ill intentions."

He lowered his voice and said in a hoarse tone: "I won't disturb you, and I won't go over there."

After saying that, Alvin stopped explaining and curled up in the corner of the alley, his wide robe completely hiding his figure.

Although he was still several meters away from the siblings, the boy still showed vigilance.

Alvin knew exactly why the other party was wary.

Many times, in the eyes of the lower nest scum, the scope of food is very large!

Especially for boys like this, just staying alive is already a struggle, let alone bringing a girl with him?
You know, in the eyes of some scum in the lower nest, such a combination is equivalent to spare food!

In Alvin's memory, this happened several times when he was a child. He almost starved to death and was eaten by some scraps.

Nesting is never a greenhouse; it is a place more cruel than the forest!
What’s funny is that, considering such a cruel environment in the entire Warhammer universe, the millions of planets under the rule of the Human Empire are already considered relatively good.

If there is a hell, then congratulations, this is it!
Using the cover of the hood, Alvin observed the brother and sister, who had obviously been hungry for a long time.

The two were so hungry that they were basically just skin and bones, without any extra muscle. The girl in the boy's arms had not eaten for a long time, and her breathing was light and weak.

After hesitating for half a second, Alvin finally threw the nutrient solution in his arms directly over.

He comforted himself in his heart, thinking of it as the "rent" for his temporary stay. Besides, this thing was not that valuable to him now.

You can't just see that two people are almost starving to death and do nothing about it, right?
It's true that he is a scumbag, but at least he can help the brother and sister within his ability and without harming his own interests.

The boy stared at the nutrient solution thrown to him, a hesitant expression on his face.

He was very hungry and his eyes were bloodshot, but when he saw the nutrient solution so close to him, he suppressed his desire and stared at Alvin vigilantly.

In the harsh environment of the lower nest, there is little kindness without reason.

"Eat."

Alvin admired the boy's calmness and said in a hoarse voice, "That child is almost starving to death."

"Thank you"

After the boy confirmed several times that the weirdo at the corner of the alley had no ill intentions, he carefully picked up the nutrient.

He unscrewed the cap of the nutrient tube, looked at the milky white porridge, and couldn't help swallowing. Although he was very hungry, he still gently put the nutrient solution to the girl's lips.

Carefully and gently squeeze the milky white nutritious porridge into the girl's mouth.

The unconscious girl subconsciously wolfed down the food and soon finished the tube of nutrient solution. Her pale face improved slightly and became a little rosy.

Only after his sister finished eating did it become the boy's turn.

He slowly rolled up from the bottom of the nutrient solution, not leaving out even a tiny bit of the nutrient porridge, and tried hard to lick the tiny amount of milky white thick liquid that remained.

Looking at the boy's actions, Alvin felt like there was a stone blocking his heart, heavy and speechless.

"What are your names?"

He asked out of nowhere.

"Emeric." It seemed that because of the nutrients, the boy's vigilance was not so serious. He said softly: "My name is Emeric, she is my sister, her name is Chris."

"Oh."

Alvin fell silent, his mind was confused and he didn't know how to continue.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, my sister might have starved to death." The boy lowered his head, looked at his unconscious sister in his arms with pity, and thanked him sincerely again.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Alvin opened his mouth, but found that he could only ask this nonsense.

How could you not be hungry?

Such a tube of nutrition can indeed supply an adult for seven days if taken sparingly.

But, after all, it can only feed one person.

"It's okay, I'm in good health and don't get sick easily!"

A smile appeared on Emmerich's dirty face.

Yes, if you are healthy, you are less likely to get sick, so you can endure hunger more easily, right?

Alvin felt inexplicably irritated. His reason told him that there were too many situations like this. Even if he wanted to take care of it, how many people could he help?
Besides, I am not safe now, how can I help others?
However, his sentimental side, or the little bit of moral sense left over from his previous life, made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye.

The collision between emotion and rationality is like two little people quarreling in your mind!

"Can you help them temporarily, but can you help them forever?"

'But you clearly have the ability to help them!'

'Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy! Who do you think you are? A savior?'

'No, I'm just an ordinary person!'

The confrontation was over, but Alvin couldn't bear to watch the Emmerich siblings, who had the same experience as him but had a harder time, starve to death.

Forget it, just consider it as a way to repay the scavenger who saved him.

Once when he was about to starve to death, a kind-hearted lame scavenger gave him his last ration of food, but he himself starved to death.

Because he had received help before, Alvin chose to help this poor brother and sister.

He sighed, took out a 30-kroner coin and threw it over: "Use it to buy three servings of nutritious porridge. It should be enough for you to live for a while."

30 kronor is considered a considerable sum of money in the eyes of many scavengers in the Lower Nest.

Emmerich's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "Are you really going to give them all to me?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not convenient for me to go out."

Alvin made an excuse for himself and said, "Three servings of nutritious porridge, including my share, understand?"

"Understood, thank you!"

Emmerich picked up the three coins and looked at him nervously: "I, I will never tell anyone that you are here!"

"Ah."

Alvin responded quietly.

In fact, he didn't care whether Emmerich would tell others his whereabouts.

There are many people taking refuge in the lower nest, so even if Emmerich tells others, the Skeleton Gang will not suspect him first.

Besides, in the surveillance video, he was wearing a robe with his face blocked by a hood. This kind of attire is very common in the Lower Nest and is not a feature at all.

"Ma, please help me take care of my sister."

Emmerich gritted his teeth, hesitated, and then gently placed his sister in the alley.

This kid is unexpectedly smart!

Alvin was a little surprised. How could he not see that this guy left his sister behind as a 'guarantee' that he would not reveal his whereabouts?

Moreover, when a child uses kronor to buy nutritional supplements, there is always a risk of being targeted.

Leaving his sister behind not only demonstrates his determination, but also avoids danger. It's like killing two birds with one stone!
