This was the first time Liu Chang saw Li Qingshui act so emotionally and speak in such a strong tone. In the past, Li Qingshui always had the same name as him, with a calm and calm appearance. He spoke with such excitement, Liu Chang felt that his words were definitely not just for others to hear, but for others. It's more like a kind of emotional hypnosis for yourself.

"It seems that he is also under moral pressure." Liu Chang sighed, threw away the cigarette butt and returned to the dormitory.

Opening the door and walking through the aisle, Liu Chang sat back on his bed again. After a short rest, the door of the dormitory was opened again—this time two soldiers and Xiaoyong's mother came in.

After the latter came in, he pointed to the bed next to Liu Chang and shouted: "Here, that's it. The person has been dead for more than two hours, and it stinks, so don't care! I asked her to bury the body, but she refused. Tell me, how can there be no reason not to bury this person after he dies? Let alone the stinky smell, if there is another infectious disease or something like that, who would dare to live in this house?"

Hearing Xiaoyong's mother shout, Liu Chang raised his head, looked at the young woman next to him, saw her body trembled after hearing this, and finally spoke.

"I just want to be with my mother again." The woman said as she looked at the corpse that had begun to "bubble" again.

"Miss." After the two soldiers came in, one of them sighed and said, "We can understand how you want to spend more time with your family, but now we really can't care so much anymore, please hand over the body to Let's deal with it. You also know that the principle of 'there must be a great plague after a catastrophe', the pile of corpses can really easily cause a plague."

"We have received instructions from our superiors regarding the situation of people dying everywhere in the barracks in recent days. These corpses will be cremated forcibly. I hope you can understand." After the two soldiers finished speaking, they looked at the young woman and waited for her action.

But after waiting for nearly two minutes, they saw that the other party still had no intention of getting up and getting out of the way, one of them stepped forward and pushed the woman aside, while the other stepped forward and dragged her mother's body.

"Woo..." The girl didn't struggle in the soldier's arms, but she began to cry aloud, sobbing, the volume was not loud, but strings of tears flowed from her sunken eye sockets.

And the other soldier didn't look at her too much, and didn't say too much. He walked up and grabbed the ankle of the corpse with his rubber gloved hand, and moved the corpse sideways to the ground with a pull. On the side of the bed, it looked very professional - obviously, he had dealt with a lot of similar things in the past few days.

But just as he lifted the corpse up with skillful techniques and was about to move it away, the old man on the other side of the corpse suddenly moved.

His body jerked, and he turned to look at the soldier who was about to carry away his wife's body, then his eyes rolled, fixed on her wife's body, and tears flowed from his eyes. After staring at it for a while, his mouth opened wide, and a common "ah—" sound came out of his throat, which was particularly loud and breath-taking.

Hearing this voice, Liu Chang knew that he was about to die, this was the last breath of the dead, and when the breath was exhausted, the person would die.

Sure enough, when the old man breathed out the last breath, he let out a hiccup-like sound, then tilted his head, and completely lost his breath.

Seeing this situation, the two soldiers were stunned for tens of seconds, and then the soldier who was driving the young woman put her next to a bed, stepped forward to check the old man's pulse, and shook his head at the woman. , to help another soldier carry out the two bodies successively.

"Is this the end?" Seeing this scene, Liu Chang somehow thought of his parents again. He didn't dare to look at the young woman's expression, and lay down on the bed, holding his father's finger bones in his hand, his thoughts were confused. flying.

He didn't dare to look at the woman's expression because he was afraid of seeing his future self—knowing the situation of this world, Liu Chang knew that the probability of his parents surviving was actually very low. But he didn't want to believe this fact, so he absolutely didn't want to look at the woman's expression.

But people are really imaginative animals. The less you want to think about something, the easier it will appear in your mind, and it will appear in various ways, in various ways. form to harass you. After closing his eyes, Liu Chang thought of the death of his own parents from the death of the other party's parents, then thought of the corpse from the word death, and finally thought of zombies from the corpse.

He had read a lot of zombie novels before, and sometimes wondered why people were afraid of zombies. Now at this moment, he finally understood the problem that he had never been able to understand before - people are more afraid of zombies than tigers, probably because everyone is afraid of seeing themselves after death.

Carrying this chaotic thoughts, Liu Chang did not know when he fell asleep, and the chaotic and dangerous day just passed away.

During this day, he has been hungry, searched, almost died, cried, laughed, fed, and sad... It seems that this doomsday day can be worth the emotional experience of the past ten years. I have never discovered that when people face death, they will burst out so many strong emotions.

And in the next few days, this strong emotion still continued...

In the next few days, Liu Chang went hunting during the day, and when he came back at night, he could see corpses being thrown into the large temporary crematorium in the barracks compound. In just a few days, the number of human deaths in this military region has exceeded half—this human camp finally began to die on a large scale due to hunger and disease.

In the first two days, the elderly and children were the first to bear the brunt. The former was due to aging and weakness, and the latter was because the immune system was not as strong as adults. Within a few days, most of the elderly and children in the military camp died one after another, one after another. Old or young corpses were thrown into the flames and turned into ashes with the cries of their loved ones.

In the next three or four days, after killing the young and the old, the Hand of Death then patronized the adults and young people. A large part of those adults who were not physically strong also died one after another, and those who survived gradually adapted to the environment after these three or four days, and exercised different abilities—first of all, the digestive system was greatly improved, Those plants that could not be eaten before, those with slight toxins, those that were too hard, and whose nutrients were not easy to absorb, could already be accepted by the strong stomachs of these people.

Therefore, although the remaining people are still hungry every day, they have already struggled a little bit from the death line.

Along with the digestive system, their immune system evolved. Few of the surviving people got sick again, and the chance of wound infection was also reduced to a minimum. On the last day of the military area, there was no longer a large area of deaths due to disease. up.

Under the action of the powerful law of "natural selection", those who died were lost in the shortest time, and those who survived became extremely strong, becoming powerful creatures shaped by nature one by one.

All people's bodies have undergone different degrees of evolution. Their bones have become tougher and their muscles have become stronger. A very small number of people have evolved various abilities due to mutations.

During the nearly one week of human "death mutation", Liu Chang's body also evolved along with everyone, becoming stronger, and the mutated sensory ability was slightly improved again. And for nearly a week, he hunted every day, but he caught a total of two prey, the first time was a large field water snake, and the second time, this time, was a chicken—yes, It was a chicken, an old domestic chicken, only now it was half the size of a man.

Carrying the chicken, Liu Chang came to the kitchen and found the little leader of the military responsible for food——Mao Yixuan.
