People who lost their vision frantically fumbled for food in the supermarket.
People who have lost their sense of touch eat human flesh without knowing it.

Lu Chu is familiar with every street in this town because he walks around the town every month under the subtle influence of his parents. As for the tower, his parents mentioned it to him more than once.
He can get there in the fastest time possible.
It's just that now that the outside world has collapsed, it is really a difficult problem for a man who has lost his dual senses to avoid the crazy crowd outside.
"Don't worry about me." The man said suddenly, "Go by yourself, you must enter the tower before dark."
— before dark
"Yeah." Because of the loss of dual senses, the man's reaction was a little slow, "Otherwise, you will never be able to leave here."
Lu Chu didn't understand why he could leave there, but he knew that he would not leave this man alone.
There are too many mysteries about the man, but Lu Chu can faintly feel that he has been helping him.
-Walk together.
Lu Chu's personality looked soft, but he had his own opinions. After writing in the man's palm, he got up and went to the kitchen.
For the past seven days, he has been confined in the bedroom by a man, unable to move freely. Everything is handled by the man. The food at home should have been used up a few days ago. The man must have gone out to find food, more than once.
Lu Chu found some vegetables and made a hearty breakfast, and brought them to the bedroom. Originally, he was going to feed the man to eat, but the man insisted on eating by himself, and Lu Chu didn't force it anymore, but went to help radish prepare the food. When I went out for a while, I didn't know what would happen. I had to fill my stomach first and gain strength before I was able to deal with various emergencies.
Lu Chu ate very quickly, and got up to clean up after eating. It was 9:26 in the morning, and it was about 6:30 in the evening when the sky darkened at this time of year. The high tower in the center of the city is some distance away from the community where Lu Chu lives. In the past, Lu Chu walked there, and it would have taken more than an hour if he walked fast, but now he doesn't know how long it will take.
It is not advisable to pack too many things with you. Two bottles of purified water and two packs of compressed biscuits can be replenished in time when you consume too much energy; So it's better to do less things like melee combat; other things like bamboo sticks must be brought.
Although I didn’t plan to bring more, I packed up and got a big bag. Lu Chu picked it up and simplified it a bit. Finally, I took out a little wound medicine gauze and a bottle of pure water. Then I pulled the backpack on and carried it on the back.
The man can't hear or see, and can only judge things by touch, and Lu Chu himself can't see, so he is very worried that the two of them will get separated and can't find each other. As for Carrot, he should actually be the safest among them. He hasn't lost any senses, and he can see the dilapidated and distorted world from the clearest angle, even though he is just a dog.
Lu Chu rummaged through the house and finally found a rope. He tied one end of the rope to the man's wrist and the other end to his own wrist, and wrote on the man's palm.
— After we went out, we kept holding hands. If we accidentally let go of our hands, we would be connected together by the rope.
The man was silent for a moment, and finally nodded; "Okay."
He handed the man a baseball bat with a fruit knife tied on it, and he tied another knife to the bamboo stick.
During this process, Carrot jumped up and down excitedly.
After packing everything up, Lu Chu wrote on the man's palm again.
— are you ready
"Um."
—Then let's go.
——
An hour ago, Lu Chu had a fight with a "non-sense person", and now the living room still has the strange smell of rotting flesh and blood from the "non-sense person". Carrots are very sensitive to taste, and they get restless when they are close to the anti-theft door.
Lu Chu was exploring the way with a bamboo stick tied with a knife in one hand, and tightly holding the man's hand in the other, with a small mountaineering bag on his back.
Leaning down to listen to the movement outside the door, after making sure that there was no one there, Lu Chu opened the door, clasped fingers and pulled the man, Luo Luo followed by himself, and the team went out.
The journey from the second floor to the first floor was very smooth. There were no "insensitive people" who suddenly attacked. There were occasionally a few human-shaped obstacles under the feet. Lu Chu scratched the man's palm with his index finger, and the man lifted his foot and collapsed.
Lu Chu was on high alert all the way, not daring to relax for a moment. Because he couldn't see, he focused all his attention on hearing. Congenital blindness made Lu Chu get used to darkness and fear. In every respect, he has many advantages over these people who lost their minds due to panic.
"I'm so scared… "
"I'm very hungry… "
Before he walked out of the community, Lu Chu heard a strange voice. At first glance, it sounded like a gender indistinguishable voice, but when he listened carefully, it was the voice of a little girl.
very familiar.
Lu Chu suddenly remembered that this young girl was a resident of the building in front of his house. She was smart and cute, with a very quiet and well-behaved personality. She was still in kindergarten and her parents loved her very much.
Lu Chu couldn't help but stop.
"Very hungry..."
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
Apart from a few of them, Lu Chu didn't hear anyone's footsteps. Lu Chu was temporarily relieved, and he tentatively raised his voice and asked, "Nuonuo?"
"Yes... who is it?" The little girl heard someone calling her name, and stumbled towards Lu Chu's direction, but because she couldn't see, she was tripped and fell to the ground, making a dull "plop" sound.
Lu Chu didn't move, but turned his face to the side, lowered his eyebrows and asked softly, "Where are your parents?"
"parents… "
"Papa and Mama."
There was a hint of hoarseness in the little girl's voice, which was no longer as clear as before. She crawled on the ground without getting up, but slowly moved towards the direction of Lu Chu's voice with crouching and twisting movements.
"Prick, prick—"
The sound of the cloth rubbing against the stone and sand on the ground was uncomfortable.
"Dad... I can hear it, I can touch it, go out and find something to eat, because Nuo Nuo is very hungry... Later, Dad never came back..."
There was a little sobbing helplessness in the hoarse voice.
"Mom... can hear it, but it doesn't hurt."
"Mom said Daddy won't be coming back."
The little girl was getting closer and closer to Lu Chu, and the carrot suddenly began to let out a low growl of manic demonstration.
"Mom said that she doesn't hurt, not at all, because Nuo Nuo is hungry, she will find something delicious for Nuo Nuo..."
The little girl's voice was a little aggrieved.
"But it's not delicious at all, and it's not good to drink. The fishy meat and water are more fishy than milk, and it's even worse... Later, my mother didn't talk anymore, and her body was covered with sticky water. It's the same as what I drink, and my mother thinks it's too bad."
"I'm so hungry... They don't want to be Nuowuo anymore."
As the little girl approached slowly, Lu Chu finally smelled the disgusting smell of flesh and blood, rotten and sweet, the same smell as that of the "insensitive person" who was knocked down by Lu Chu before.
For an instant, a chill crept up his spine.
