"Well… "
After being scolded by Li Jiayu, the young man immediately turned away in embarrassment, blinked his eyes in embarrassment and embarrassment, his throat rolled, and he hesitated to speak. Judging from his nervous squeezing of his hands, he was obviously very nervous. Nervous, but also wanting to turn around and continue staring at someone's stunning face.
"It has been so long since the apocalypse broke out. I didn't expect that there would be an ordinary person like you in the mountains and wild forests... Should I say you are lucky, or should I say you are lucky?"
Li Jiayu felt quite strange. After all, most of the people in Tiannan Province had fled into Yongcheng. The few survivors in remote areas were extremely rare because they had to endure attacks from bugs, zombies, and aliens all the time. The death pressure caused by the changing environment is like the original survivor base in Guizhou. It only had 30 to 20 thousand people, but it still relied on the geographical advantage of the rift valley and ravines to breathe. Without Li Jiayu's help, today, two months later, there would be only 30,000 people. I'm afraid that most of them will die.
Of course, just because there are very few survivors in the wild does not necessarily mean that there will not be any. Some people who are very lucky may not necessarily encounter catastrophe even if they live in deep mountains and wild forests or in caves in basins, but the chance is very small. That’s all.
The strong young man in front of him had no confusion in his consciousness, and the nerve endings of the black vine tree demon had not penetrated deep into the bottom of his skin.
Thinking about it, the time he was devoured by the black vine tree demon must not have been very long, only three to five days at most.
"I, I don't know..."
The young man grunted, carefully looked at Li Jiayu from the corner of his eye, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but soon he was retching again due to the smelly sap in his mouth. He covered his throat and gasped uncomfortably: "Let me think about it, let me think about it... Ah, I remember it. We went out to collect mushrooms... and then... Then a group of tree and vine monsters caught up. They tied up Feihong and Yun Sao, as well as Big Stone and Lao Niu. , Uncle Wang, Coach Liu, and Aunt Fang were also entangled by them... Then... Then the tree vine monster opened a big hole and swallowed everyone in... Ah, I was swallowed too!"
The young man's memories came back one after another, and his face was full of fear and horror. He seemed to be still frightened, and even the corners of his eyes were trembling.
"Collecting mushrooms? So you are just a bunch of people out to collect mushrooms? Could it be that there is a survivor base nearby?" Li Jiayu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Uh... this..."
The young man wriggled his lips, got up from the ground in a panic, raised his hands feebly, looked at the disgusting sticky ** on his body, and said with a wry smile: "It's not really a base... We are originally a small village. Four months ago, the signal was inexplicably interrupted, all electrical facilities were scrapped, and a large number of bugs appeared. They eat humans, and each one is as big as a rhinoceros... Unfortunately, more than half of our village was killed or injured in the first time, and less than half of them were left. Five hundred people…”
At this point, the sadness on the young man's face became more and more intense, and his voice was choked: "We were all scared to death. In desperation, the village chief and Captain Wang led us to escape to this forest overnight... The village chief died on the way. Captain Wang is a veteran and has rich experience. He killed many bugs like spiders and rice cakes along the way... Finally, we were placed in a secret and humid cave... "
"You can live for more than four months hiding in a cave? Are you so lucky?" Li Jiayu sneered.
"The cave has stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars. It is a carbonate rock cave... and there is a cave inside. It is rugged and difficult to navigate. It is difficult for ordinary insects to enter..." The young man said with a sad face, but managed to squeeze out an ugly smile: "It just so happens that among the hundreds of us survivors, some have acquired superpowers and can become fire people, electric people, diamond people, explosive people... That's why we can see things in the dark stalactite cave. There are things in the cave. Underground undercurrents, there are many aquatic organisms, algae, fish, shrimps and crabs, and there are also many bats, blind mice... We relied on these to survive, but the stalactite cave is too humid, and there are many things that are difficult to guard against. Poisonous centipedes, venomous snakes, many people got sick and died... In my memory, there were less than a hundred people alive in the cave... and they had almost eaten all the edible things. After running out of ammunition and food, we finally We were forced to run out in search of mushrooms and other things that could satisfy our hunger... But we didn't expect that the first time we came out, we were eaten by tree vine monsters... "
Before he finished speaking, the young man choked up and shed tears, looking grief-stricken. Even the tip of his nose became red and swollen.
"The stalactite cave can also prevent the invasion of insects... Hehe, this is the first time I heard about it. I think your luck is really not so good. You can survive until now. Do you know how many people rushed to Yongcheng? In the middle of the wilderness, corpses were exposed..."
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Jiayu flicked his fingers and shot a white light onto the young man, which immediately made the young man feel warm. The warm breath was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, driving away his physical discomfort and making him feel warm. It can quickly eliminate some of the toxins left in the dryad's body.
"I, my name is Zhang Cheng... Although I don't know what happened, I am sure that you must have saved me... "
The young man named Zhang Cheng shrank his head and looked at the sawdust, bark, leaves and green juice around him with lingering fear. He was not stupid, so he naturally knew that these were the remains of the black vine tree demon.
If he can kill the tree demon and rescue him, how can he be an ordinary person
I'm afraid, the ability of the handsome white-haired girl in front of me is still far above that of Captain Wang, right
"It's just a little effort... You also let me know the benign effects of the black vine tree demon, as well as the little secret of the stalactite cave... Then, you can take care of yourself."
With that said, Li Jiayu turned around, jumped to the treetop in front of him, and was about to leave, leaving behind only a trace of beautiful shadow, fragrant wind, and the dull eyes of the young man.
"Ah, wait, beauty, don't leave. What will I do if you leave? This forest is so dangerous, full of bugs and monsters... Please, just send Buddha to the west and take care of things for a while. My life or death, please send me back to the cave... Ah, if it doesn't work, you can keep me with you. I have studied cooking for two years... "
Zhang Cheng begged desperately, joking. Although he was able to escape from the tree demon [body], he had no power to protect himself. If Li Jiayu did not protect him, he would definitely be killed in less than half an hour. The bugs that emerged would be swallowed into their stomachs. If this were to happen, it would be completely over. The bugs would not use him as a brain like the tree demon did!
