Long Yuehong was startled, instinctively grabbed the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle next to her, and jumped up.
Just when he was hesitating whether to throw away the lunch box he was holding in the other hand, Jiang Baimian took a leisurely look around:
"Nothing is happening..."
She immediately smiled at Long Yuehong:
"Don't be nervous, isn't this really close yet
"Sit down, sit down, and eat when the can is hot."
While speaking, she patted the grenade gun nicknamed "Tyrant" that was beside her.
On the other side of the bonfire, Bai Chen carefully observed for a while, and then returned his attention to the food.
"But, team leader, something is approaching us! Aren't you worried about being attacked suddenly?" Long Yuehong couldn't understand Jiang Baimian's attitude.
Jiang Baimian stared at the cans that had already been opened and said:
"Isn't there a businessman to guard against this situation
"If that thing doesn't come close, don't we just stop eating and wait for it here? We're really hungry and exhausted, but it will affect our performance."
She gradually revealed a smile:
"In short, as long as the sky hasn't fallen, it won't affect our filling."
Long Yuehong sat down suspiciously, looking up at Shang Jianyao from time to time, afraid that he would make a mistake and fail to find the enemy who had entered the dangerous area.
As the flames flickered, the juice in the can liquefied, and the indescribable fragrance continued to diffuse around.
This is the taste of pork, soybeans, salt, and spices mixed through a complex process, making everyone present seem to have a hand stretched out of their stomachs, uncontrollably drilled through their throats and reached their mouths.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian smiled sincerely.
At this moment, at the top of the collapsed building complex, where the green vines were entangled, a black shadow rushed out and went straight to Long Yuehong beside the bonfire.
In the shaking of the fire, Shang Jianyao and the others finally saw clearly the appearance of the shadow:
She is a female human, with ragged clothes, revealing dirty skin with thicker hair, her hair hanging down in a mess, greasy, and condensed into strands.
Her fingernails were long and sharp, flashing with cold light, and her eyes were bloodshot and cloudy, like a wild beast.
Her body was bent and her speed was extremely fast, like an ape swaying over with a vine.
boom!
Just as Shang Jianyao raised the assault rifle in his hand, he heard a gunshot.
bang! The incoming shadow fell heavily to the ground.
With her face up, an exaggerated, hideous blood hole appeared from her left chest to her shoulders, and no intact place could be found.
After twitching twice, the female human lost her life.
Jiang Baimian took back the "United 202" pistol and said calmly:
"A 'Heartless One'."
"Heartless"... Long Yuehong looked at the corpse with surprise and curiosity.
This is a term that cannot be bypassed by anyone who studies the history of ash soil, and it is also something that is described in great detail in the internal textbook of "Pangu Biology".
"Heartless" is also called "heartless", which refers to humans suffering from "heartless disease" - this disease is also known as "bestialization" and "atavism", which means that the sick human will lose all The intellect, thoughts, and feelings of a man become a beast-like creature, with only the instinct of predation, the instinct of survival, and the instinct of using simple tools.
They are unable to communicate and will actively attack normal humans, treating each other as prey.
The earliest appearance of "unintentional disease" was when the old world was destroyed, and a large number of people in a city and a city became "intentional" in a very short period of time, and more unprepared people died at the hands of "intentional".
Because the "mindless people" need to eat to survive, just like real beasts, after the collapse of the human order and the advent of the great famine, they who have exhausted the "food storage" of the city will soon die in large numbers, and only less than a hundred people remain. one-part quantity.
According to the observations of many historical researchers on the ash soil, in addition to hunting human beings, the "Mindless" also preyed on beasts, digging roots, picking fruits, catching mutated and unmutated mice to eat, and when they were most hungry, they would attack each other.
With such a "recipe" and living environment, the "unintentional" people rarely live beyond the age of thirty, but they have the instinct to reproduce and have a large number of offspring.
The "unintentional" after the first generation will be a little more intelligent and have stronger hunting ability.
It stands to reason that when humans restore a certain order and master enough firepower, it will not be too difficult to deal with the "mindless ones" who are closer to beasts, but this is not the case.
On the one hand, although the "Wuxins" don't know how to dismantle and maintain weapons, they will use them, as if they have this instinct - the farther away from the original "Wuxins", the stronger this instinct will be. The "people" have the essence of human beings, and they will be polluted and distorted. While causing a large number of "unintentional people" to die painfully, they have also created a group of top hunters.
Of course, no matter how good the "unintentional ones" are at using weapons, they don't understand scientific research, they don't know how to organize production, and they don't know how to maintain them. Even if they become top-level hunters, in front of a human army with plenty of firepower, they can't make them. Too much trouble, after all, human beings have the technology of "inducing mutation and genetic modification". Even if they are not so mature and have a low success rate, they can still crush the "unintentional" who are watching the sky.
On the other hand, human beings have never found out the pathogenesis and transmission law of "unintentional disease", and do not know how to prevent this disease, which makes soldiers reluctant to go to the area where "unintentional people" gather, for fear of being infected, Therefore, after the major forces have eliminated the "unintentional ones" around them, they are unwilling to deal with those entrenched in the ruins of the old world cities.
To this day, "innocent disease" is still a shadow shrouded in human heads.
Because even if they have not had direct contact with the "unintentional ones", those who live well in the settlements may lose their rationality and wisdom and become "beasts" after a sleep.
Their relatives and friends are completely fine, with no signs of infection at all - a conclusion reached after long-term isolation and observation.
In the early years, there was a high-level high-ranking powerful person who was extremely afraid of "unintentional disease". He slept in an isolation room and had to wear a gas mask and chemical protective clothing when entering and leaving. As a result, he became an "unintentional" one day.
Fortunately, since the new calendar, the average incidence of "no heart disease" is not too high, otherwise human beings may have collapsed.
The tragic state of the corpse made Long Yuehong's throat sore when she saw a similar picture for the first time, and turned her head subconsciously, not daring to look again.
"It looks like the first generation." Bai Chen recalled just now and made a judgment.
"Judging from the degree of tattered clothes, the disease does not exceed a year." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, "Do you need me to tell you about the 'unintentional' again?"
Shang Jianyao didn't answer, and suddenly said:
"This is not the dark shadow I saw just now.
"The shadow is a little shorter."
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"You two search the body to see if there are any valuables, then carry the body outside and bury it. Don't leave the place where the fire is lit."
She thought for a while, walked to the jeep, took out four black things, and threw one to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:
"The walkie-talkie has an effective range of two kilometers, and the open area will be farther.
"If there is any situation, notify me immediately, you should know how to use it?"
"I will fix it." Shang Jianyao answered the question.
He and Long Yuehong both graduated from the electronics department of the university.
Long Yuehong hung up the walkie-talkie and walked hesitantly to the body of the "unintentional".
The smell of blood mixed with an indescribable stench churned upward, making Long Yuehong, who was timid and afraid to look at the corpse, almost vomit.
Shang Jianyao walked over, took the initiative to search, and then stood on the head of the corpse, that is, the side with the gunshot wound.
"Do you need me to carry it?" he said to Long Yuehong.
"Uh..." Long Yuehong wanted to say that it was not very good for Shang Jianyao to carry the body by himself.
"I mean, do you need me to carry you?" Shang Jianyao explained expressionlessly.
Long Yuehong laughed dryly:
"no, I'm fine."
He bent down and grabbed the corpse's feet.
Shang Jianyao put his arms through the armpit of the unintentional person.
The blood dripped little by little, the two carried the corpse, walked out of the open space, dug a pit on the edge of the fire, and buried the corpse in it.
This affected Long Yuehong's appetite a bit, so he only ate a compressed biscuit and half a can of roasted pork with soybeans.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Jiang Baimian was about to arrange the night duty sequence for tonight, when a roar suddenly came from afar:
"Ow!"
The voice resounded through the sky, hoarse and desolate, like a nightmare at night.
Just as it fell, the roars echoed endlessly in different parts of the big swamp.
Long Yuehong's heart trembled when she heard it, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Is this a pack of wolves?"
"Have you ever seen wolves scattered in different places?" Jiang Baimian laughed.
"Is it common that there are wild beasts roaring everywhere in the big swamp?" Long Yuehong asked nervously.
Jiang Baimian shook his head, his smile remained the same:
"uncommon."
"Well, what can I do about this?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
Jiang Baimian gave him a funny look:
"It's really anomalous, suggesting that something might have happened deep in the Everglades.
"But looking at the general area and direction, there is absolutely no intersection with our route and destination, so don't worry about it."
"Don't worry?" Long Yuehong looked at Shang Jianyao next to him and found that he was not afraid at all.
Bai Chen, who was in charge of guarding the surrounding area, saw this and said calmly:
"In the Black Marsh wilderness, there will be an abnormality or accident every few days, how can you manage it
"In such a big wilderness, the chances of those things affecting you are very low."
"But what if it is affected?" Long Yuehong asked.
Shang Jianyao stared at the bonfire and said:
"That only shows that your name is not good."
"... Also, if life is bad, you can't escape, and if life is good, you can't meet." Long Yuehong gritted her teeth and nodded.
Jiang Baimian couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and was embarrassed to ask, so he could only laugh:
"We are far from where the incident happened, we don't know the specific situation at all, and we can't prepare in advance.
"Without withdrawing the company, the only option is to go around that place and go a little farther, and that's what our route is all about."
"This sounds more reasonable than just now..." Long Yuehong thought about it carefully and found that two expressions of the same meaning have completely different effects.
Jiang Baimian said with a smile:
"So, learn to grasp the essence of things.
"In this respect, Shang Jianyao is much better than you. Look, he has never been nervous."
Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and said:
"I'm just thinking about getting involved."
"Ah?" Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all looked puzzled.
Shang Jianyao opened his mouth and made a sound:
"Ow!"
