While Ji Changze waited quietly, the meteorite rain finally stopped.
It's still dark outside, but screams and calls for help are always going on. This is the most chaotic time, with cars driving randomly, humans being stimulated to the point of mental collapse, and plants that have just mutated and are eager to show off their skills.
And the animals in the zoo that were released because of this accident.
There was a mess downstairs, and it looked like it wouldn't be dawn for a while. Ji Changze simply lit a candle and went to the house to sort out the supplies that had been piled up in a mess by the original owner.
He was very fast, and in a short time he put the randomly arranged materials according to categories and usage methods. Li Hechuan next door looked at them for a while and didn't wait until he appeared on the balcony, and then returned to the house feeling a little disappointed.
Inexplicably, as long as he saw Ji Changze sitting there, he would feel at ease.
Maybe it was because the other party was calm and calm about the current situation, or maybe it was because of speculation about Ji Changze's identity as an "agent".
The two families hadn't slept, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting until dawn.
After feeling the light, Li Hechuan lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was one o'clock in the afternoon. He was surprised and hurried to the window to look outside.
The other human survivors are also very excited. Everyone feels that as long as the sun rises, this disaster will definitely be over. Even if this meteorite rain causes casualties and national turmoil, as long as there are still people alive, everything will be fine. , at most suffer some hardship.
The reality turned out to be crueler than imagined.
Everyone soon discovered that there was still no signal for mobile phones and computers at home, and the TV could not be turned on because there was no power. However, the old man had a radio and could barely hear some inaudible signals.
People who have been in cities for a long time have long been accustomed to transportation tools and various electronic communication devices. They can get information from the Internet and TV, get entertainment from mobile phones, and just make a phone call to whomever they want. But now these are gone.
Elevators cannot operate, and ordinary vehicles cannot drive at all due to damaged roads. This is not all. After water and power outages, the inconveniences of life are not limited to these.
Let’s use the simplest analogy. It’s dark. Most people who have long been accustomed to lighting tools like lamps don’t have candles at home. Some even don’t even have flashlights. The power of their mobile phones will last for a while. What will happen next?
Li Hechuan quickly thought of this. The situation at his house was even worse, because just this morning, there was only a little bit of rice left in his house. Even the water used to cook porridge was bought from his house. They forgot to drink the mineral water, now either their family will starve to death, or they will go out to find food.
But going downstairs to find something to eat...
He looked down from the balcony and saw that the vines below were entangled with a wolf who didn't know where it came from.
Whether it is a wolf that is entangling prey and vines or being entangled as prey, the sight of it is exciting.
Li Hechuan lowered his head and looked at his fat arms, which belonged to a 200-pound fat man. With his physique, he would be the first to be bitten off as fat if he went down.
How to fix it.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Ji Changze opening the balcony door and coming out. He was carrying a huge bag on his back. The bag was also camouflage. He was also wearing camouflage clothes. He also wore a camouflage hat on his head and neck. There was a telescope hanging on the balcony. When he lowered his head to pick up the long knife on the balcony, there were rows of sharp tools, large and small, hanging beside him.
Li Hechuan: "..."
The more he looks, the more he looks like an agent.
He pondered for several seconds, and when he saw Ji Changze took the knife and turned around to go out, he quickly boldly shouted: "Um, um, Uncle Ji, are you going out?"
That's right, although Ji Changze is only thirty and Li Hechuan is in his twenties, because his parents are the same generation as each other's wives, he has to call them uncle and aunt.
Ji Changze stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him; "Yes, your aunt took Xiaobao out before. I wanted to go look for them and see if I can find something useful back."
Li Hechuan's heart was pounding and he hurriedly offered himself; "Can I go out with you? I can...um...ok..."
It's over, he doesn't know anything.
After pausing for a few seconds, he carefully handed his fat paw forward.
"Can I be the bait?"
"Just share some of the food and drink with me. Please, please. My family is almost out of food now. If we don't find something to eat, we will probably starve to death."
Ji Changze looked at the young neighbor up and down.
Evenly white and evenly fat.
If he moves, the flesh on his thighs will jiggle.
To those animals and plants, it should be a soft persimmon.
****
A man carefully hid in the building, using the shadow to avoid the too harsh sunlight and moving forward. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the crow of a crow.
He immediately stopped cautiously and stood where he was.
Although it had only been a week since the meteor shower, most of the humans who had survived had already figured out the situation.
Now there is no water and electricity, the plants have mutated, and the animals are more ferocious than before. Although the size has not changed, because there are so many, the city has basically become a paradise for animals and plants.
Hearing crows crow means that there is a rotting corpse nearby. No matter what kind of corpse it is, in this case, it can attract crows without being eaten. Either there are no creatures in this area, or there is a powerful creature here. Now, other creatures don't dare to come.
He carefully hid behind the pillar and watched the crow.
"Ah! Ah!"
The crow screamed and flew over at low altitude. It noticed that there was a rotting creature underneath. After flying in the air for a few times and finding no danger, it cautiously flew down. It just landed on the dead animal and pecked it twice, and stood quietly next to it. , a seemingly harmless grass suddenly attacked and spread its leaves towards it.
It had not yet adapted to the fact that its predators actually included plants, so it panicked and tried to fly away, but was immediately closed into the opponent's leaves.
The screams of birds rang out hurriedly, and some black feathers floated low in the sky. Within a minute, the area returned to silence again. The satiated plants returned to their original peaceful appearance, with only the closed leaves still struggling from time to time. A crow that moves a few times can show what has just happened.
—Gudong.
The man swallowed in fear, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Just when he was unsure whether to go around the plant or simply go back and look for food in another place, he noticed that a fat man wearing camouflage uniforms and a camouflage hat was walking struttingly in front of the plant.
He covered his mouth, feeling that he was about to see the death scene of this fat man.
Li Hechuan deliberately swung his fat arms, held his chest up and held his head high. He was able to walk in such a short distance with great variety.
Although the plant reacted a little to his fancy way of showing how delicious it was, considering that although the plant was quite wide, it was not as tall as a human being, and it had just caught its prey, it did not attack.
Li Hechuan walked over and back again, but the plant didn't move.
He walked over and back again, but the plant still didn't move.
Finally, when he came back for the third time, the plant became impatient.
It has been occupying this area for a few days. Basically, the rapidly developing animals and plants here know it. Every time it passes by, it can hide as far away as possible, but no creature is as arrogant as this human being.
Although it caught enough prey to eat for several days, it didn't mind letting this human know why its leaves were so bright.
As soon as Li Hechuan reached the middle, it opened its leaves, spit out the crow inside, and headed towards Li Hechuan at a speed that humans could not react at all.
Although this human is big, it has evolved anesthetic secretions. As long as Li Hechuan is bitten by it, he will fall down in less than two minutes.
Ji Changze was lying in ambush not far away, and when he saw that the opponent was starting to attack, he immediately threw the spear in his hand, hitting the core hidden in the innermost part of its leaves after it opened its leaves, and directly penetrated it.
The plant that was so arrogant just now stopped moving in an instant and died quietly on the spot.
Only then did Ji Changze come out of the grass where he was lying. He threw a handkerchief to Li Hechuan to wipe away the cold sweat. He took out the watering bottle on his waist, unscrewed the bottle cap, skillfully broke open the leaves, and poked them open. He picked up the core of this narcotic weed (he named it randomly) which was as big as a normal man's head, put the bottle under it and let the mucus flow out from it.
Li Hechuan wiped away the sweat and stepped forward with excitement: "Uncle, this anesthetic grass is big enough, it should be able to make a lot of anesthetics, right?"
Ji Changze gestured to him to take out a larger empty bottle from the bag they were carrying, and nodded: "It's enough for two months, but the inventory is not too much. We will look for other places later."
The anesthetic liquid produced by these anesthetic grass can be used as an anesthetic, and because it can be diluted a hundred times, it is easy to carry. The diluted anesthetic works quickly and causes no other harm. It is definitely the best choice for hunting. The prey obtained It is also safe to use.
Ji Changze has been trying to go out of the circle to find people, but because there are too many powerful animals and plants nearby, he must prepare weapons if he wants to go out. But basically other weapons cannot be recycled, but anesthetics are different. As long as this little bit, No matter what you use to attack, it will work.
After accidentally discovering this three days ago, this piece of narcotic grass that reigned supreme was destroyed. Ji Changze took Li Hechuan on a fishing trip and raided it one by one.
Seeing Ji Changze pouring the anesthetic liquid, Li Hechuan reached out and picked the apple-sized fruit from the top of the anesthetic grass and ate it.
Smacking his lips, it felt delicious. He took off another one and handed it to Ji Changze: "It's very sweet, uncle. You can have one."
"If you don't want to eat, you can divide it up later, half for each person."
Li Hechuan nodded and said vaguely while chewing: "You're leaving my aunt for another three days and sending them to my home if they don't find them? Uncle, you are such a good man. Don't worry, I will definitely help you when I find aunt and them." Say something nice and tell Auntie that she misunderstood you."
Ji Changze didn't like to eat fruit, but he always kept half of it at home. After three days, the fruit was no longer fresh, so he gave it to Li Hechuan and the others.
Li Hechuan and his parents knew that he was thinking that if he found his wife and children, he could give them these fruits to eat.
It's a pity that they struggled for seven days and met few living people, let alone Auntie and Xiaobao.
Li Hechuan finished eating, took out a large plastic bag from the bag he was carrying on his back, unfolded it and put all the fruits into the bag.
Seeing that Ji Changze was about to finish taking it, he was about to say whether we should look for any more anesthetic herbs. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something swaying across from the opposite side. He immediately became vigilant and pulled out the gun from his waist to aim it. Got that.
"Uncle, there is something."
Ji Changze immediately put the bottle on the ground, pulled out his spear and quickly sprayed anesthetic on it and pointed it over there.
"No, no, no! Don't shoot, don't shoot!"
A man walked out from there with his hands raised, he was so scared that he was shaking when he spoke: "I'm not a thing, no, I mean I'm not a bad person, I'm just passing by."
Seeing that it was a living person, Li Hechuan was about to put down his guard and put down the gun. When he found that Ji Changze hadn't moved, he quickly raised it again and pointed it at the opponent: "What are you doing? Why are you spying on us!"
"No, no, I'm here first, and you are the ones who come later. Don't shoot, please, please, I still have my wife and children waiting for me to go back. I'll leave right away, without delaying even a second."
The man's legs were shaking with fright. Li Hechuan wanted to ask a few more questions. Ji Changze beside him suddenly asked: "Have you seen anyone else these days? Have you ever seen someone who looks like he is in his mid-twenties, with long black hair and skin?" A pretty, white-haired woman with a baby? Her name is Guo Junyuan."
Li Hechuan sighed in his heart, Uncle Ji was so ill that he went to the hospital for treatment. He would know where Auntie and the others were when he saw a human being.
Even in a movie, it definitely can't be acted like this.
Man: "I know, I know!!! She is hiding in a place with us. That child is called Xiaobao, right? My wife helped her take care of the child when she went out to find food. Who are you? It's her Family member?"
Li Hechuan: "..."
Is this okay?
The European Emperor!
Ji Changze immediately put away his spear, stepped forward and asked, "Are you willing to take me to find her? I can give you food as payment."
Seeing that he was no longer hostile to her, the man breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "Can you give me something to eat now? I haven't eaten all day, and my stomach hurts from hunger."
Ji Changze raised his left hand to Li Hechuan behind him. Li Hechuan understood, took out a fruit from the plastic bag and handed it to the man.
Ji Changze: "It's okay. Just eat, it won't be enough for us. We are all human beings and should help each other."
Let alone fruits these days, you can't even find dry food. The man's eyes lit up when he saw it. He hurriedly took it and took a few big bites. While feeling the satisfaction of eating the food, his eyes were red with emotion.
"Thank you, thank you. I have met others before. They were very vicious. Not only did they take away all my belongings, but they almost killed me. If there hadn't been a bear passing by at that time, they were afraid and ran away. My life would have been lost." It’s all gone.”
He looked at Ji Changze in front of him, who had fair complexion, delicate features, and gentle manner, and sniffed.
"Sure enough, there is still true love in the world. You are really good people."
"It's okay, we're all human beings. It's normal to be friendly to each other. Don't worry, we'll talk about finding them after we've had a good meal and a drink. I'm an honest person in everything I do. By the way, what's your surname, brother?"
Not understanding the situation, Ji Changze didn't mention a word about his relationship with his wife and children, but started to create a carefree image for himself while talking.
Behind Ji Changze, Li Hechuan watched Ji Changze accept the other's gratitude and admiration with a smile: "..."
He quietly glanced at Uncle Ji's right hand behind his back.
On the front, he was talking and laughing freely, but on the back, there was a sharp scalpel between his well-maintained slender fingers.
Really honest.
After Ji Changze finished shaping it, he asked Li Hechuan behind him: "Chuachuan said yes, we are all good people."
Li Hechuan: "...Yes, yes! We are all good people!"
