The earth was horrified.
Time quietly ushered in early autumn.
Autumn is the harvest season. In the old days, harvest had many meanings. It can be wealth, it can be love, or it can be the heavy wheat on the ears of wheat. However, for the new era, in addition to the meanings of the above harvests, there is an additional one.
die.
yes, death. In the turbulent age, life is as cheap as worthless. Only those who are above all living beings and firmly occupy the upper part of the pyramid can have some protection in life. It's just that this guarantee is far from that heavy.
Early autumn has come, can winter be far behind? In autumn, if there are not enough supplies for the winter, the lives will wither in batches. Without the protection of an underground base, without sufficient heating, and without food to maintain the baseline of survival, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive a winter.
More than half a century has passed since the new era, and in the first ten years, the number of deaths has exploded. Then gradually slowed down, until the last ten years, the death line has been maintained at a low level. But even so, this horizontal line is determined with reference to the dark ages, and it is still a shocking number in the old era.
Even if the reproductive capacity of human beings continues to increase, the resources will also decrease sharply in proportion. This means that if the newborn has no supplies as a guarantee, it will eventually become a small skeleton in the wilderness.
The wilderness is full of the smell of death, this is the back garden of the god of death. Every ten years, a large settlement on the ground will become small, and the small and medium-sized ones will go extinct directly. There are many reasons for the extinction, such as being attacked by mutant beasts, or being taken back as slaves by powerful organizations. But one of the biggest reasons is being eliminated.
The sharp reduction of resources has made this planet no longer have such a large carrying capacity, so it uses its own way to refresh the number of life in order to maintain a relatively balanced ecology.
A buggy appears in the wilderness.
In front of it was a wilderness ruin. The size of the city seems to be medium, perhaps millions of people in the old days. But now, it's just a silhouette on the horizon. From that silhouette, there is a taste of loneliness, death and danger.
A buggy is also lonely because it has no companions. Driving alone on the intermittent wilderness road, the driver seems to be a novice, and the vehicle cannot keep moving in a straight line. If you express its advancing trajectory with lines, you will find that the curve is like a snake. It's a pity that the curve doesn't have any beauty, but it has a thrilling feeling.
However, no matter how shockingly the driver drove, at least one teenager in the back seat of the car kept his eyes closed. Looking at his posture casually lying on the seat, yes, he can be sure that he is sleeping.
Sometimes a sharp turn in the car would throw him to the seat, and at this time, the sleeping teenager would unconsciously reach out and pull on the seat to bring his body back to its original position. Yu Yu had some bumps and bumps on the way. There was even a time when he directly bumped his head into a car, the boy just turned over and continued to sleep.
Compared with the calmness of the young man, the girl driving the car seemed a little cramped. She was sweating profusely, but the word stubborn was written on her small face. The hand holding the steering wheel is so hard, it seems to be competing with the off-road force. This made the chubby creature in the passenger seat look very scared, even though the chubby body was fixed with a seat belt, there was no peace of mind in the eyes of the little thing.
In this way, the off-road vehicle twisted and drove into the ruins of the city, and even knocked down a sign at the entrance of the city. The sign says "City of Juan," which is the name of the city. Below that is a warning: Beware of those damn living corpses.
The car stopped in front of a dilapidated building with about six or seven floors. Most of the building facing the street was cut by something, exposing the structure of the building, and a stone wall was built near the street. Obviously, the car cannot drive directly, and must make a detour if it wants to pass by. But seeing that the sun had gone down, the driver of the car decided to rest here for the night.
She first wiped the sweat from her forehead, then pulled up her silver-gray hair and tied it into a ponytail with a rubber cord. jumped down. The girl looked angrily at the boy who was still snoring in the back seat, then lifted it with one hand and threw it on the ground. This throw used ingenious strength. The boy landed, bounced up, and was pressed down again with a dark force. After doing this three times, the boy jumped up in pain. Covering the cheek kissing the ground passionately, the teenager complained: "Can't you wake me up in a normal way?"
The girl asked back: "Can I wake you up in a normal way?"
The boy was speechless.
The silver-haired girl tapped the boy's head with her scabbard and said, "Go, get some food back, we've run out of dry food."
The boy covered his face and looked towards the city where the night was falling. He twitched his nose and said, "I can only smell the smell of living corpses, can't you eat that kind of thing?"
"There will always be other things, hurry up, don't waste time." The girl said angrily.
Then he grabbed the strange creature on the co-pilot's seat with one hand, and just swaggered into the abandoned building. The boy shook his head. This city smells like living corpses, and there are many such things hovering in this abandoned building. But he knew that the things in that building would soon be gone.
He left and had to find something to eat.
After the boy left, the roar of living corpses sounded in the abandoned building. Wind Howl appeared quickly and disappeared quickly. Moments later, a fire appeared in a window on the third floor. The girl found this relatively clean room, and randomly picked up some unusable furniture. She flicked out a few wisps of finger wind, chopped these things up, and then lit a fire.
The fire can be used both for heating and for roasting things. Of course, it may also attract other things. For example, living corpses, but at least in this building, there is no need to fear that the fire will attract the living corpses. Because those things have become real corpses.
Soon, the boy came back. He brought back two corpse wolves, the smallest of which was as big as a boy. The wolf's head hung loosely, and the cervical spine had been violently broken. The blood dripping from the wolf's kiss pulled a red line on the ground and extended into the room.
Mo Ni looked at the blood lines on the ground and said angrily, "This thing will cause unnecessary trouble."
Giroud gave her a frank look: "Are you afraid of trouble?"
"Exactly." Mo Ni nodded, no longer caring about Girutan's little mistake. With a flick of her hand, a dagger appeared in her hand. Then the familiar skinning, deboning, and meat removal. Mo Ni's technique was extremely proficient, she quickly turned the two dead wolves into pieces of wolf meat with the dissection technique comparable to that of a surgeon. Then a simple grill was set up on the fire, and with a jump of the dagger, pieces of wolf meat flew onto the grill.
Not long after, the smell of meat wafted in the small room.
It's an ordinary night for Moni and Girutan. They rest here for one night, replenish their food, and then continue their journey tomorrow. But the fate is wonderful, when the two of them got rid of the little half wolf, another off-road vehicle came from the same direction. The driver of the car had fluttering blue hair, like a burning blue flame in the night.
So this night became extraordinary again.
PS: A small chapter, it should be a small surprise. Chinese New Year is approaching, and work has temporarily come to an end, and there will be more time in the near future. So small surprises like this should appear more frequently. There is nothing to recommend now. After reading the book, do you want to leave a comment in the book review area or something? Don’t make me too lonely~~
