Chapter 4 Secret
This is Tang Ling's secret.
Even the closest sister and mother-in-law didn't know that there was a "demon" hidden in Tang Ling's heart.
In fact, Tang Ling didn’t know whether it was right to regard this kind of “hunger” that occurred every once in a while as a concrete existence?
It must be absurd to say it.
But Tang Ling firmly believed that it was not because there was something wrong with his body, but because there was another existence hidden in his heart.
Tang Ling was suspicious of the first attack since she was eleven years old.
That was his first time out and wanted to do something for his poor home, but he accidentally got lost and surrounded by five black-toothed rats.
In a desperate situation, Tang Ling desperately killed a black-toothed rat, but did not escape the siege of the black-toothed rat.
But at this moment of life and death, the feeling of hunger broke out for the first time.
It was like devouring all hunger, Tang Ling still remembers it. It felt like he was not hungry at all, but like another guy in his body was hungry, and then he kept urging him to find food, otherwise he would swallow it together.
Tang Ling was so confused and frightened, and even forgot the fear of being surrounded by the black-toothed rat.
Unfortunately, where did he go to find food in a desperate situation? While running away, the huge feeling of hunger seemed to have really begun to swallow Tang Ling. In extreme helplessness and panic, Tang Ling fainted without any sense of consciousness.
What happened afterwards? This is a puzzle that Tang Ling has always wanted to explore but feels deeply afraid.
Because, when he woke up, he found that there were three complete black-toothed rat corpses beside him, with no other unnecessary wounds except for his broken head.
He had no experience at that time, but now when he recalled it, he was obviously killed by a punch and hit the hardest head.
Five black-toothed rats killed one by themselves, and three died inexplicably.
Then there is one more?
The next moment, Tang Ling panicked and found that half of it had been gnawed off in his hands.
Who made it?
Tang Ling was once again frightened, but soon found that there was a torn black-toothed rat skin next to him. His mouth was covered with blood, and the mouth was filled with bloody smell and the special and unpalatable smell of black-toothed rat meat.
It's yourself!
When I recall it now, it feels like a dream, not as if it has happened.
But the feeling of hunger that comes every twenty days reminds Tang Ling that this is true.
Of course, Tang Ling couldn't believe that the black-toothed rat that was killed that day was made by himself. He killed himself with one punch and hit the brain. He could only achieve this with the strength of the Ziyue Warrior?
Then what mysterious person is following him?
Unfortunately, this situation only happened once, because every time thereafter, Tang Ling was able to find food in time.
"But, you are becoming more and more greedy." Tang Ling's cold fingertips slid across his chest, and the trace of fear and doubt in his eyes had turned into calm.
In this era, being able to live is a luxury.
As long as you are still alive and able to bear the life of your mother-in-law and sister, you don’t have to figure out anything.
However, Tang Ling would be worried that the "monster" hidden in her chest would increase every once in a while.
This is also regular.
Just like the attacks are only once every twenty days on weekdays, if there is no attack after more than a month, then the attack will definitely be extremely violent and will definitely require more food.
Just like this time, a whole half-dried black-toothed rat meat! You should know that air-dried meat is more weight than fresh meat.
I'm afraid that one day I will never find so much food again.
Tang Ling tore off the traces of his own gnawing on the dried black-toothed rat meat, and walked forward with the black-toothed rat in big strides.
Everything is not important, the only thing that matters is the assessment of tomorrow's reserve soldiers.
I hope to get out of this dark underground and take my mother-in-law and sister to live in a beautiful and safe ground.

Safety Zone No. 17, settlement No. 3, Fifth Battalion.
This is where Tang Ling lives in her settlement. This is not the best place to live, and there are so-called "rooms".
This is just a relatively large open space with underground waterways. I don’t know what purpose the previous civilization did, so I left such a place.
So, this place was classified as the Fifth Battalion.
The originally empty space was home to tens of thousands of people. Therefore, it was crowded with various messy sheds, forming one complex and narrow path after another.
The air is dull and dirty.
But it's still good, at least there is no channel flowing with a foul smell, polluted purple underground sewage passing through here.
Tang Ling quickly walked through the path with half of the black-toothed rat along the way, greedy, jealous, malicious, and some friendly and friendly eyes were deliberately ignored by him.
There was no idea of getting the supplies exchanged from Quarks.
"Tang Ling, you have a good harvest." A familiar voice sounded in Tang Ling's ears.
Tang Ling looked up and said that it was Uncle Zhang, who was bearded, who was the man who taught him hunting skills. Tang Ling had always been grateful and respectful to him.
With a smile on his face, Tang Ling didn't answer. He was not good at speaking.
Uncle Zhang didn't care and patted Tang Ling on the shoulder: "Go quickly, you've been out for three days this time, and your family will be very worried."
Tang Ling looked at Uncle Zhang gratefully, and his steps were faster.
Yes, there are only mother-in-law and sisters in the family. Before I could afford the whole family, my family's life was maintained by mother-in-law picking up scattered under the seat belt and looking for valuable items left by the previous civilization.
But, as time goes by, how many so-called valuable things can be found?
But even so, my mother-in-law insisted on picking up the scattered, just because she wanted to help Tang Ling reduce some of the burden.
If only he could be stronger, Tang Ling pursed the corner of his mouth.
As for my sister, she is only five years old!
Shanshan, when she thought of her sister, a burst of distress and warmth appeared in Tang Ling's heart.
This cute girl seems to have not been affected by the cruelty of this era, she is so simple, innocent and soft. Seeing her is like seeing a pure sky.
But I felt sorry for her because she was born, and her parents died of a hunting trip.
In fact, Shanshan's parents are Tang Ling's adoptive parents.
Tang Ling was adopted by them when she was four years old and regarded her as her own.
They are good people, but unfortunately they were swallowed up by this cruel era and did not receive good rewards. But Tang Ling must repay his kindness.
It’s just a pity that I only remembered the adoption, and my memories before the age of four were all blank.
But so what if I remember? Do people who abandon themselves need to remember? Even though there are so many children abandoned in this era of uncertainty.
