Chapter 515: Nightmare
"Grover! Grover!"
Grover was awakened from his sleep by his sister's voice and rocking.
"Huh-huh-huh-" Grover sat up from the bed covered in sweat.
"Are you having nightmares again?" Sister Grace handed over a glass of water.
Gulu~Gulu~
Grover drank it all in one gulp, but threw the cup aside because of the 'familiar' voice.
"Brother, why don't you go see a doctor?" Grace looked worried and patted his back gently.
"No...it's okay..." Grover waved his hand, looked at his worried sister in front of him, and forced a smile, "It's just a nightmare..."
After a while, he finally recovered.
Life has just gotten better for the two siblings. Grover just rented this house last week with his first salary from the Ritter Gang.
Finally, he no longer has to live in the "coffin box" in the garbage dump with his sister.
The economy is still very tight, and there is no extra money for medical treatment.
Grover also plans to buy a new outfit for his sister.
"But you've been getting worse and worse lately...Brother...I'm very worried about you..." Grace picked up the cup and wiped it, "Do you want more water?"
Grover shook his head.
"How about we vacate this room..." Grace put the water glass back to its place, "I think the garbage dump is pretty good..."
Of course, Grace didn't like living in a garbage dump, but her brother started to have nightmares after moving into this house, and recently he woke up from nightmares more frequently.
She was afraid that something might happen to her brother if he continued like this.
"Even if we move out now, the deposit will not be refunded. I won't do such a loss-making deal!" Grover's tone was humorous, as if he wanted to use this relaxed expression to comfort his sister that he was fine.
"Brother, what nightmare did you have today? It couldn't be another..." Grace sat down next to him.
"Well..." Grover nodded helplessly, his spirit instantly weakened a lot, but there was insufficient light in the room, so his sister Grace couldn't see clearly.
"I just dreamed that Mr. Button next door wanted to eat his little son..." Grover raised his finger and pointed outside, "Aunt Mary opposite wanted to poison his husband..."
"And..." Grover looked at his sister, "There were people fighting on the street outside... A zombie was mixed in... and it bit many passers-by watching the fun to death... Those passers-by eventually turned into
Zombies..."
"Huh..." Listening to her brother's nightmare, Grace also took several deep breaths.
It's indeed scary enough.
But what's even weirder is...
The ‘protagonists’ in it are all people I know.
Ever since Grover started having nightmares, whether they were 'victims' or 'monsters', they were all his neighbors.
Although the two brothers and sisters had just moved here not long ago, their hard life made them very good at handling various relationships. In just a few days, they had a relationship with most of the residents on this street and got along pretty well.
.
But because of Grover's weird nightmare, the two brothers and sisters now look a little weird to them.
Especially Grover.
Because nightmares are too real!
During the conversation, Grace persuaded her brother several times not to see a doctor, but Grover clearly refused.
"Maybe I've been too busy and tired recently, and the atmosphere in the capital has been really tense lately, so I keep having nightmares." He thought of a 'cause' for himself.
...
Gang boss Ritter has given his men a lot of tasks recently, and Grover is naturally working extra hard to leave a good impression in front of his boss.
The "New Queen's Decree" carried out an indiscriminate cleanup of the lower city area, and many people died. Now everyone walking on the road can smell the lingering smell of blood in the air.
The Ritter Gang was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but just a few days before the "New Queen's Decree" was promulgated, it was the time when the Ritter Gang began to openly recruit homeless people, especially homeless children.
The job advertisements were carefully crafted and even included free money and food.
Many people were suspicious of the Ritter Gang's move, but there were also some who were not afraid of death and entered the bar with recruitment advertisements.
The Grover siblings are one of them.
Since there were not many homeless people applying for jobs, and most of them were children from disadvantaged groups even among homeless people, the Ritter Gang took all the children into their employ.
There was no vicious incident that the doubters were "expected" to happen. These children just ran errands around Xiacheng District every day and collected some information that was not available. From this, they could earn several times or even ten times more income than they had once scavenged.
As the reputation spreads, more and more wanderers join.
Therefore, when the newly appointed Minister of General Affairs Carina Dupont carried out the "New Queen's Decree" to 'clean' the downtown area, these former homeless people all appealed to Mrs. Carina to prove that the 'Big Bang' bar
Boss Ritter is not a heinous gang leader at all.
After learning the news and confirming it through investigation, Mrs. Karina naturally let go of the Big Bang Bar, and even set up Ritter as a 'role model' and a 'reform template' for the criminal bosses in the downtown area.
...
"Brother, please don't run too far tomorrow, just stay nearby, okay?" Grace begged.
"Yeah." Although he rejected Grace's suggestion to see a doctor, Grover didn't want his sister to worry too much.
"Brother, are you hungry? I'm going to cook something for you to eat."
"I don't..."
Before he could say the word 'hungry', Grover's stomach growled quite honestly.
"I'm going to cook some porridge..." Grace stood up with a smile, "The government has distributed a lot of food recently... Brother, you don't have to be as frugal as before..."
Grover then remembered that things in Science and Technology City were not all tense recently. Mrs. Karina, Minister of General Affairs, on behalf of Queen Vanessa, had distributed free food several times in the lower city.
Anyone who is homeless in Xiacheng District can receive one for free, and the government even distributes jobs to everyone.
Now I have a stable job... My family can still receive assistance from the government from time to time... The security in Xiacheng District has also improved a lot...
Life is getting better and better...
The scene from the nightmare suddenly reappeared in his mind, and Grover was so frightened that he quickly shook his head.
'What a fucking nightmare!'
"Sister, add more vegetables to the porridge." Grover looked at his sister's back and shouted.
"Don't worry!" Grace looked back and smiled, "There are still a few rats at home..."
...
"Nightmare...reality..." Dean continued to mutter after reading the "latest serialization" of the "enthusiastic newspaper".
Although the above content is very scary and weird, it is only for ordinary people.
Dean is most interested in...
How will the horror stories in the newspapers be 'realized' in his body?
'I'm still in outer space, but the stories in the newspapers look like they happened in the town...'
‘…….’
"It's interesting..."
