real apocalypse game

Chapter 386 Gao Xuan
After the rain stopped for a while, Lin Mingyuan started a new day of exploration.

The same cautiousness, the same observation first and then action, Lin Mingyuan completely took on the identity of a scavenger, making sure that no one is around before acting like a mouse.

Passing through the neighborhood that has already been explored, Lin Mingyuan quietly came to the center of the city. There are traces of shops being smashed. These traces are very old, but there are also recent traces. The city center is inhabited.

Excellent scavengers are masters of trace science, able to deduce various key information from subtle traces.

Walking in the wasteland, people are more dangerous than monsters. You can never be sure for what reason other people will kill you. It may just be that you wear a pair of shoes they like.

Knowing that there were people in the city, Lin Mingyuan became more careful. He hid in the garbage dump all day long to hide himself motionless, observing the action patterns and trajectories of the survivors in the city.

According to Lin Mingyuan's observation, a small clan of scavengers with less than 20 members is entrenched in the city center. The members are all men, and no women are seen. From their rosy faces and plump muscles, it can be seen that they are living a good life. .

They have fully investigated the situation in the city, searched the residential buildings in the community, talked and laughed very recklessly, and made sure that there were no monsters around.

There are two leaders of this group. One is about [-] years old, his leg is injured and he walks with a limp. He uses [catapult flying claws] to perform three-dimensional mobile displacement in the city. There is also a gunman wearing a long windbreaker and sunglasses. The weapon is Two Colt Sidewinder revolvers.

These two professionals are both over level [-]. They have completed the second turn but they must not have reached the legendary level. It is impossible to tell with the eyes of scavengers. Lin Mingyuan judged it based on his experience of seeing people.

What is the concept of a second-rank professional? It's really like an ant. Let alone a second-rank professional, even if it's a legend, Sanctuary would be scalded standing in front of Lin Mingyuan's main body of the Fire Demon King because he couldn't bear the scorching air brought out by his breath.

The existence of unrealized gods has never been taken into consideration by Lin Mingyuan, but now, these two second-turn professionals are like two mountains pressing down on Lin Mingyuan's heart. Since the discovery of the two, Lin Mingyuan seems to have turned into a stone, and his breathing has changed. There seems to be nothing, and I dare not move.

At this moment, the two of them are more terrifying than Helena, the famous original sin witch in the universe. At least Helena is controllable and won't kill people inexplicably, but they are uncontrollable. The evil of the human heart is more terrifying than the devil.

For a whole day, Lin Mingyuan hid in the rubbish dump and merged with the rubbish without moving. When he was thirsty, he drank the dirty water from the puddle in front of him. When he was hungry, he had to endure it until night fell. Lin Mingyuan dragged his body with stiff joints. Step by step, he moved back to the small broken house, fell asleep with his head on the pillow.

In the next few days, Lin Mingyuan did not dare to enter the city center again, and wandered around the outskirts of the city. Lin Mingyuan, who had completely taken on the identity of a scavenger, almost forgot that he was still the lord of Blackstone City. The incomparable joys, anger, sorrows and joys are all back, and Lin Mingyuan will be delighted to pick a basket of mushrooms, and will also feel uncomfortable because of his hard work and no harvest. If he doesn’t feel the misery of the people at the bottom, he will not appreciate the hard-won of everything he has.

When you are reduced to the bottom, there is nothing you can do to change, because you need to do your best just to survive, and there is no way to plan and improve your mind.

The roar of the truck broke the silence of the city. Lin Mingyuan, who was wandering around the city, became nervous like a rabbit hearing the wind and grass. His eyes wandered and he quickly found an excellent hiding spot, which was the green plastic trash can by the roadside. There was a tender reprimand.

"Go away, this is my home!"

"Is there someone in the trash can?" Lin Mingyuan walked this street at least twenty times, but he didn't even find a neighbor living in the trash can.

Not caring about finding out who was hiding in the trash can, Lin Mingyuan hid in the alley and crawled down, covering his body with his dusty and worn-out robe like a big lump of trash.

The roar of the engine gradually faded away. Lin Mingyuan stood up and listened attentively. When he heard that the truck was heading towards the city center, he murmured in his heart.

"It's strange that the small group of scavengers still have contact with the outside world."

While muttering in a low voice, Lin Mingyuan came to the trash can and knocked on it.

"Come out, kid, don't hide, the car has already left."

A gap was slowly pushed out of the trash can lid, revealing a pair of bright eyes and a dirty little face, and the exquisite facial features looked like a girl.

"Yo, it's a girl, how old is this year?"

The children in the orphanage all liked Lin Mingyuan, which caused Lin Mingyuan to misjudge himself. He thought that he was very popular with the children. What the children liked was a kind-hearted elder brother who could improve their lives, not a man who wore rags. Xiao Lin, the scavenger in T-shirt.

"Don't come here, or I'll stab you to death!" The trash can girl showed strong vigilance, and took out a knife made of broken iron to protect herself.

"You are so fierce. You kill people at every turn. How many people have you killed?" Lin Mingyuan said with a smile and made a defensive posture. To survive in the apocalypse, you must not underestimate anyone. It is possible for a child who has no power to restrain a chicken. Take your life in the deep sleep of the night when you are unsuspecting.

"If you want to die, you will be the second." The little girl is very fierce. She has indeed killed someone before, and the hand holding the knife does not tremble at all, it is very stable.

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, I don't want to provoke you." Lin Mingyuan backed away slowly, making sure that Lin Mingyuan left the small trash can with a gap exposed before closing it again.

Curiosity will kill the cat. Lin Mingyuan still didn't go to the city center. He didn't care what kind of connection the scavenger group had with the outside world. He didn't care whether the scavengers were good or bad. He just wanted to live, even if he was as humble as ants. We must also live strong.

There were constant touches in his heart, and the short time he worked as a scavenger made Lin Mingyuan thoroughly think about the way to go in the future.

As dusk approached, Lin Mingyuan returned with a bag of dried and preserved rice that had not yet turned yellow and moldy, and returned with a full load in the afterglow of the setting sun. Lin Mingyuan stopped walking by the trash can he saw during the day, hesitated a little, and scooped up a scoop of rice with a gourd ladle Put it on the side of the road, and said: "Whoever sees it has a share, don't go around saying that I have rice."

Lin Mingyuan was bribing the little girl. A bag of rice saved enough to cook porridge with wild vegetables for three or four months. This bag of rice could buy a life.

Giving the little girl a little bit of money is not only to take care of the weak, but also to stop her mouth.

After all, she was a little girl, and Lin Mingyuan had limited defenses against her. If the person hiding in the trash can was an adult healthy man, Lin Mingyuan would have to consider how to kill him.

"Hey, wait a minute." Perhaps it was a scoop of rice that took effect, or maybe it was because after observing Lin Mingyuan for more than ten days that he was sure that Lin Mingyuan was not a bad person, the little girl was finally willing to come out of the trash can.

She has short short hair that she cut herself. She is about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is only 1.5 meters tall. Her chest is flat, she is so thin that her ribs can be clearly seen, and she is severely malnourished.

"Why did you call me?" Lin Mingyuan still had no intention of approaching, and looked at You. Tooth Lolita across the street.

"Thank you, thank you." For a girl who is at a rebellious age and has no family to take care of her, the word thank you is very difficult to say. After saying that, the little girl ran all the way back to the trash can with a gourd scoop in her arms. Only the trash can can give her A little sense of security.

Lin Mingyuan smiled and ignored it, and carried the rice home. Every time he walked far, he found a 'little tail' hanging behind him. Lin Mingyuan frowned slightly and said, "You are following me to try to take advantage of others, right?"

"I can't cook." The little girl looked at Lin Mingyuan pitifully with a few grains of uncooked rice hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Then you won't be afraid that I'll be a bad person if you follow me?" Lin Mingyuan took a few steps closer, the body of a robust adult man seemed too oppressive for the immature little ribs.

The little girl took two steps back in fright, but she still pulled out a knife and threatened, "Don't be afraid, I will slit your throat before you hurt me."

"How dare I take you in if you are so fierce."

"Who wants you to take him in! I think you are helpless and want to take care of you more. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it." Ribs raised his head proudly.

"Okay, okay, let's just take care of me, let's go and see your new home." Lin Mingyuan turned around with a smile, the little girl followed quickly, and two figures, one big and one small, walked side by side facing the sun.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Just call me Xiaolin, the name doesn't matter, how about you?"

"Gao Xuan."

"Your surname is Gao, you don't look tall."

"I want you to take care of it!"

They walked and chatted all the way, and then they arrived at the old-fashioned residential building where Lin Mingyuan lived. When they went up to the sixth floor, they saw Lin Mingyuan's hastily built small shack and a simple tent piled up with a few asbestos tiles and waterproof plastic sheets.

"This will be your home from now on. If you're not used to it, you can live downstairs. I've checked the surroundings and there are no monsters." Lin Mingyuan started to cook by himself.

After lighting a fire and boiling water to cook porridge with wild vegetables, Lin Mingyuan took out a fat, shiny mouse with its tail tied to his belt.

"You are blessed. The trap and cage you set up caught a mouse, and you can finally eat it." Lin Mingyuan took two puffs of the cigarette butt in his mouth, then immediately snuffed out the precious one and kept it.

Xiao Gaoxuan squatted beside Lin Mingyuan, staring intently with her big eyes. Five years ago, she would have been scared to cry when she saw such a big mouse, but now she would drool just looking at the pink and white mouse.

After cleaning, add salt and marinate for half an hour, put it on the fire and roast it, and when the porridge is almost cooked, the mouse is also roasted.

Being able to drink wild vegetable porridge and eat rat meat is considered a happy life for the scavengers, which is equivalent to a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Two thick and easy-to-eat mouse hind legs were broken off and placed in the little girl's porridge bowl, and the rest of the mouse was rounded by Lin Mingyuan.

Little Gao Xuan ate very fast, fearing that others would compete with her. She ate until her belly was round and her mouth was full of oil, and she reluctantly looked at the roasted mouse in Lin Mingyuan's hand.

Lin Mingyuan ignored her. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. He gnawed away every bit of the rat meat, leaving a clean skeleton that even a vulture would shake its head at.

Any resources in the last days are precious, and the skeleton Lin Mingyuan does not intend to waste it. It will be dried and ground into bone powder to drink in water.
