A few hours later, daybreak came.
After the ten people ate, they officially set off.
The forest landscape in the old city is prosperous, and the speed of vehicles is greatly restricted. From time to time, wild beasts appear to defend their territory from infringement. Most of them are wild boars.
More than half of the animals living in the old city today were once pets of humans. The Eternal Night Poison Rain killed humans and the civilization created by humans, but these pets survived tenaciously. In the fifty years after the disaster, they evolved rapidly at a speed that broke the laws of common sense. The most obvious and intuitive manifestation is their body shape. huge.
After the disaster, humans believed that the cause of this phenomenon was that animals were affected by the environment of the old city, similar to the mutations after nuclear radiation.
But there is a smaller voice - changes in food structure have changed the direction of species evolution. Before the disaster, whether it was pets at home, livestock in breeding farms, or stray wild cats and dogs, the source of food supply came from humans. After the disaster, a large number of humans died and very few humans escaped. What did the animals abandoned in the city feed on? Of course, in the early stage, you can plunder shopping malls and other places where food has been accumulated recently, but it won't last long. After eating all the food left by humans, they must find new food. At this time, what is the most left in the city
Human corpse.
The giant beast in the old city's parents survived by cannibalism fifty years ago.
Now that they miss the taste of the past, it can be explained more clearly that they are aggressive towards humans.
Although the wolves, wild boars, and even giant pythons in the old city are all very scary, these species are not the most deadly. There is a type of animal that is a natural killer. Fifty years ago, when they were still small and cute, they could easily hunt birds and mice. This hunting skill did not need to be learned, it was talent.
They are cats.
And when the size of a cat is enlarged to ten times or more than ten times, it is no longer a cat, but a tiger, lion, and leopard!
On the hillside directly in front of the motorcade, a wild boar held its head high and showed off its long tusks in a show of force towards the motorcade.
The convoy ignored it and was about to take a detour when suddenly a brown shadow shot out of the grass on the side of the wild boar. While the wild boar was focused on the convoy, it hit its neck with one head.
The wild boar was similar in size to the pickup truck driven by Ye Mei and others. The impact only caused it to stumble, but it howled in pain.
Because the killer's purpose is not to hit, but to kill!
The sharp teeth as long as daggers bit into the wild boar's neck.
Everyone saw clearly the true appearance of the killer - it was a cat that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, and looked like a leopard but not a leopard, with brown fur all over its body dotted with beautiful brown spots. It moves extremely vigorously and keeps changing positions, making it impossible for the wild boar to shake it off its neck.
The wild boar jumped out from the top of the slope, as if it was about to fall to death with the killer. Its huge body slammed into the front of the convoy, forcing the convoy to brake.
The noise was huge, but the wild boar only rolled on the ground and got up again. The thick-skinned defense gives it the confidence to choose this strategy.
But although the strategy is good, it's a pity that the killer is a feline.
The unique balance allowed it to land gently with its four paws, making almost no sound.
The killer lowered his back, fixed his gaze on the wild boar, and moved slowly.
The wild boar's tusks were always aimed at the killer, turning in place as the killer moved, ready to charge at any time. With its tonnage and the sharpness of its fangs, it can disembowel the killer as long as it scratches it slightly during the charge.
The killer suddenly roared, and the frightened wild boar immediately charged, and the killer also rushed forward.
The two beasts passed each other, and the killer fell to the ground far away. The wild boar jogged forward for a few steps, then rolled over and fell.
On the surface, it seemed that both sides were harmed, but the killer calmly stood up, stared at the convoy with a vigilant gaze, stepped to the side of the wild boar, opened his bloody mouth and bit the wild boar's neck again. The wild boar's body trembled a few times, and finally became motionless.
Ordinary viewers may not have figured it out yet, but the "live audience" was a member of the Wu family and nine night charms. They could clearly see what happened at that moment of intersection - the moment when the killer flipped his body in mid-air to dodge the fangs, He slapped the wild boar on the neck.
The wild boar's cervical vertebrae were broken with one palm.
At this time, the wild boar was not completely dead. The killer later bit its throat, not using his sharp teeth to tear open the blood vessels, but using strong bite force to suffocate the wild boar to death.
The killer stared at the convoy, biting the loot and dragging it back, and finally completely disappeared into the shadow of the trees.
The leading vehicle started and the convoy got back on the road. It soon reached evening, but there was still half the distance to the center of the old city. The two night demons used special fireproof cloth to build a new temporary camp to shield the zombies.
Even in a resting state, Wu Chan and Ye Mei didn't communicate much, although they were very curious about each other.
What Zhan Hai left unfinished last night is a custom of the Wu family and a taboo in the clan that Wu Chan himself is unwilling to face, so it would be an offense if he said it in front of the Wu family. Whether Zhan Hai did it intentionally or not, what Wu Chan was now unsure about was whether Shen Jin, who was also a Ye Mei, also knew about it.
Perhaps, we should find time to explain it to Shen Jin.
It was rare for Wu Chan to hesitate when something happened, and this hesitation had lasted all day.
In addition to the content of the explanation itself, another difficulty is that Wu Chan does not want to take the initiative to talk to Shen Jin, which would make it seem like he has forgiven her.
In fact, he was not angry with Shen Jin, just a little disappointed. If Shen Jin had actively explained to him at that time, he would have been willing to listen. It's a pity that Shen Jin looks like I can't explain it. In this case, Wu Chan must of course act completely indifferent.
Wu Chan also knew that his behavior was childish, but he didn't know why he couldn't control himself in this matter.
He suddenly remembered that Gong Tiantian once said that she had some tsundere qualities.
No!
Wu Chan would never agree!
Outside the fireproof cloth, there was the sound of a car driving, and then it stopped. Fireproof cloth can block zombies' heat induction, but it cannot hide it from human eyes.
"Please be sure to let me go in and hide for a while."
A young man's voice came from outside the fireproof cloth. At this moment, there was less than half an hour left before the Ten Thousand Zombies Pentium. It was a bit difficult to set up your own safe camp on site, and it was far less reliable than finding a ready-made one.
This behavior is very common, somewhat similar to the way travelers hide in the same ruined temple on a snowy night.
But there is a big difference. Those who appear in the old city are often ruthless characters who are not bound by moral constraints. There are not many tragedies of doves occupying magpie nests in temporarily well-intentioned shelters. Therefore, if you do not get the invitation from the owner of the safe camp, , if you lift the fireproof cloth without permission, you will be shot into a sieve by the continuous crossbow behind the cloth.
The man outside pleads, "I'm the only one, and I can pay."
Zhan Hai winked, and the two night spirits opened a seam of the fireproof cloth, checked the situation outside for a few seconds, and then let in a man.
The man was as young as his voice. He looked twenty-one or twelve years old. Although he was dusty, he still couldn't hide his handsomeness.
"Thanks."
He sat down a few steps away from everyone.
Wu Chan stared at him and felt that this person looked very familiar.
He touched his face and said, "It's funny, it's a bit dirty."
Wu Chan said: "Have we met before?"
The man said, "I guess not."
Wu Chan said: "What's your last name?"
The man said: "My surname is Gong, Gong of Gong."
