City B.
The scorching hot summer sun is still mercilessly baking the earth, and the blue-black asphalt road seems to be melting, and the steam is steaming, making the air gradually distorted. Only the sound of the wind whizzing through the heat wave rolled up the rubbish on the ground. There is no one in these bustling streets in the past.
On both sides of the road are high-end residential areas that were newly built in recent years, and each of them has drawn the curtains tightly, trying to block the terrible direct sunlight. And in one of the seemingly inconspicuous rooms, the crying of the little girl was ringing.
"Ahem... Come on, baby, shall we just eat this small piece for lunch today? Cough cough... We need to save a little, Dad will be back soon." A sallow and thin young woman squatted in front of her daughter and continued. : "Baby don't cry, mommy is here, don't be afraid."
Soothed by her mother, the little girl sobbed and swallowed back her tears. She picked up the small biscuit in her mother's palm, which was only half the size of a finger. With tears in her eyes, she ate and said, "Mom...Mom, the baby is very hungry. The baby wants chocolate, the baby wants potato chips, the baby wants I want to eat small cakes, the doll wants to eat... I want to eat... woowawawa..." As he spoke, golden beans flowed freely from the little girl's eye sockets.
"Cough cough...Okay, mom will definitely buy it for the baby. Be good, don't cry, cough cough..." The woman who was so thin that her ribs were protruding forced a smile, and kept comforting the crying girl in her arms. Endless little girl.
Three full days!
Her husband had been away from home looking for food for three whole days!
Today, she has put all the last edible food at home into her daughter's mouth. She has already started to eat paper, sawdust, and everything that can make her stomach feel full, but she can't let her young daughter eat these things with her.
The sunshine outside is absolutely untouchable for the baby, and it is very dangerous to leave the baby alone at home. Her only hope is for her husband to come home soon, giving them the last hope for both mother and daughter. If that day really comes too late, then...
The woman's eyes slowly raised, and she looked at the sharp knife stuck in the kitchen utensils. The blade was sharp and glowed coldly. She lowered her head and looked at her bare arms again. The fat and meat had basically been consumed in the past month or so, but... at least it could still fill the baby's small stomach for a while.
There was a bright smile on the woman's lips. She was the greatest kind of person in the world. At any critical moment, she was willing to give up her life for that love, even going through fire and water.
This is-
maternal love.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The cough became louder and louder, and the woman suddenly couldn't stop coughing violently. Her chest was heaving violently, and she kept panting but couldn't make her breathing steady, only the sound of coughing that seemed to be hollowing out her body echoed endlessly in the quiet house.
"Ahem... vomit..."
A mouthful of red and black blood suddenly spewed out from the woman's mouth. She looked at the scarred blood stains all over the ground in horror, and there was still a trace of blood flowing down from her mouth. She was stunned and unable to move, a great panic swept her.
"Mom... there's blood, so much blood! Mom... the doll is so scared... waaaaah..." The little girl rubbed her eyes and burst into tears again.
Hearing her daughter's cry, the woman suddenly came back to her senses. She suppressed the severe pain in her abdomen, showed a pale smile, and kept comforting her daughter. However, the pain was like an ant biting a needle, spreading little by little from every one of her blood vessels, and finally reached the brain. The terrible pain made her put her daughter on the sofa early in the morning, so as not to accidentally hurt her. .
"Why... why... I didn't touch the sun at all! This is why... ah..." After the first mouthful of blood spewed out of the mouth, everything that followed seemed to be logical. The water poured out of the woman's mouth, with her body as the center, spreading in all directions into an irregular circle.
The child forgot to cry, just stared blankly at the woman in the middle of the pool of blood, and yelled stupidly: "Mom?"
The woman's body was deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye. She seemed to be suffering from unspeakable pain, but she still stretched out her hand to touch her daughter on the sofa. Everything, pursuing is just futile. The blood seemed to be pulled out of the woman's body at once, and she finally stared at her crying daughter standing on the sofa, even the severe pain in her brain that was about to burn everything could not distract her.
she left…
What about dolls
On March 1, 2015, the first case of death occurred in City B.
-----------
"So, we are going to hike up the mountain now?"
Qin Chu took out a big bag from the trunk of the car, carried it on his back easily, and then turned to Jing Xia and said, "Actually, there was always a direct road, but... you know, we It is because the evolution of plants keeps blocking the roads that they made so many detours, and now, all the roads have been blocked, at least the cars can’t get on.” Qin Chu raised his eyebrows and said: “ What, little bastard? You think you can't crawl?"
Jing Xia let out a cold snort from his throat, and said triumphantly, "Ah Chuan has given me a week of special training, so it's rare for such a trivial matter to stop me?"
Qin Chu was taken aback: "When did the young master give you this kind of training?"
The sentence "just before the start of the third beast tide war" was almost blurted out, but Jing Xia swallowed all the words back embarrassingly. Ji Chuancheng only told Qin Chu about the evolutionary mutation, but did not tell her the cruel reality that humans will face in the future.
Seeing Jingxia hesitating and not speaking, Qin Chu raised his red lips, curved his exquisite almond eyes, and said, "Little bastard, what are you talking about? Could it be that you lied to me, Sister Qin?"
Jing Xia wrinkled his face trying to think of a reason, and when he was so wrapped up in a dizzy state, he suddenly heard Ji Chuan say calmly, "Secret."
These words really awaken the dreamer.
Jing Xia looked at Qin Chu triumphantly, and the latter had no choice but to spread his hands.
The group left the car with only a few necessary things, and Steward Wang also got out of the car. Jing Xia suggested that Steward Wang should be settled first before going, so as to avoid any accidents. But this kind and lovely old man strongly opposed it and insisted on climbing the mountain together.
According to Steward Wang's words: he is only around 60, he is in a very good mental state every day, and his leg strength is also very good. Moreover, as long as he can walk a little longer with Jing Xia and talk a few more words, the old man will be very satisfied.
In such a chaotic era, he has already seen his young master grow into a strong green pine tree, and his life-and-death friends such as Master Ji and Qin Chu, even if they are dead, his old man will look away.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
The dense and flourishing eucalyptus branches and leaves completely blocked the entire road, Ji Chuan was the first to open the way, Jing Xia was behind, and the four of them walked forward cautiously. The astringent smell of the soil is everywhere, as if it has just been rained heavily, and all the things in the soil have been turned out, with a strong smell of the virgin forest.
"Grandpa Wang? What's wrong with you! Are you okay?" Steward Wang covered his mouth and coughed non-stop along the way. Every time he coughed, Jing Xia's heart sank a little, and when he suddenly saw the old man walking in front of him coughing so hard that he couldn't even stand up straight, his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Qin Chu moved her hand away from Steward Wang's pulse, turned her head to look at Jing Xia, and said, "It's nothing serious. It should be that the previous cold has not recovered. The only abnormality is that the metabolism is a little faster than other people of the same age. But still within the normal range.”
Ji Chuancheng also stopped, looking solemnly at the old man with a smile on his face.
Qingya frowned, and Jingxia asked again: "Are there really no other abnormalities besides this?"
Qin Chu looked serious: "Believe in my professional level, apart from the accelerated metabolism, there is nothing abnormal."
Jing Xia bit her lower lip tightly, almost leaving a blood mark, but he never let go. On the contrary, Steward Wang was very open-minded. After his cough got better, he continued to climb up the mountain, and smiled at Jing Xia behind him as he walked: "Master, you don't need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing. It's just a little It's just a cold, nothing serious will happen."
Ji Chuancheng, as the leader who opened up the road, was the most difficult. He had to find the direction and cut off some branches and vines blocking the way. Jing Xia and Wang Butler, who were left behind, had a lot of leisure.
"Grandpa Wang, do you really feel that your body is fine?" Jing Xia sighed, after all, she was still very worried.
Steward Wang showed a kind smile on his wrinkled face, nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, except for... cough cough, the old man's body is still very strong."
Jing Xia was silent and didn't speak any more. He fixed his eyes on Butler Wang's generous back. After a long time, he took another look at the man at the front of the line who was cutting thorns decisively and skillfully.
Now... I am afraid that only Ji Chuancheng understands what he means.
In his previous life, Steward Wang was one of the tens of thousands of people who died of illness in China.
At first, it was such a seemingly normal cough, and then... one day, he suddenly vomited blood. Some people died after only vomiting a few mouthfuls, while others lay down for more than ten days before closing their eyes. However, without exception—
None of the dead were successfully rescued.
Diseased and dead, this is the definition word given to them by ignorant and ignorant humans in the early days of the end of the world. Later, such people were collectively referred to as—
Evolution loser.
