Survival in the end of food

"Ah! What's the matter?"

Tian Cheng covered his head and cried out, the words fell to the ground, the rear wheel fell down again, and his foreheads were knocked together again.

Tian Cheng: "..."

Lie on the car window and look down, whoops.The road I'm walking now doesn't even have a small road, but a dirt road with potholes and unevenness.

Looking from a distance, it can be seen that this area is a few remote ones.All you can see is the ground, and you can't even see a zombie.

"Hey," Zhou Zikang said, "Where is this going? What kind of broken land, there is no road, how can we go! How far can we go to the road?"

The road is getting harder and harder.

During this period of time, the sun was too hot, and the ground was dry and hard.Li Yun steered the steering wheel and walked forward in the dark, while saying, "It shouldn't be far away."

How far is not far.

Zhou Zikang was a little dissatisfied when he didn't hear the exact answer. He sat back in his seat and looked around.

He has never been to the countryside since he was a child, and he has only seen such backward and remote areas on TV.

"Is this a poor village? It's too poor, and there are few people, but the scenery is pretty good."

In the distance are endless golden wheat fields and big trees, and nothing can be seen in the distance. It seems that there are small hills with less obvious ups and downs, hidden in the night.

"If I am old," Zhou Zikang said with a smile, "I will come here to retire, grow vegetables and fish, and eat healthy green food."

The more Zhou Zikang thought about it, the better he felt, "What are your plans? Otherwise, we will build a row of small houses here, and we will all live here? Seriously, when the time comes, if you want to eat, tell me, and I will grow it for you. You grow it yourself and eat it, and you can come and get what you want, without charging any money.”

Tian Cheng curled her lips and said, "How about shame and still charge money."

Zhou Zikang smiled, his expression was full of longing, and he felt that it was a good idea.

Tian Cheng rolled his eyes and said: "If we can live to the old age, and then learn some skills from Huo Xian, then we will be reclusive masters of the world. Maybe someone with a heart will come to us to learn from us."

Zhou Zikang laughed, shook his head and said, "Woman..."

This will be psychologically prepared, and Li Yun will pay attention to the front, and will warn in advance when encountering bumpy places.This time the bump is still bumping, not as uncomfortable as the first time.

Zheng Yan and Huo Xian's Hummer is behind the Land Rover, just the two of them.

Zheng Yan talked for a long time with saliva splashing, and said that he was tired and leaned on the back of the chair in a daze.The car was quiet and didn't feel embarrassed, Zheng Yan looked ahead with his cheeks on his hands.

After a while, my hands were sore, I simply threw off my shoes, squatted on the seat and looked ahead.

Huo Xian frowned and said, "Sit down."

Zheng Yan moved the soles of his feet and said casually, "I feel comfortable like this."

Huo Xian saw whether he was standing or sitting, bowed his waist like a crooked little old man, and kept eating with his mouth full, so he let him go helplessly.

After walking a few kilometers on the bumpy dirt road, I finally saw a few independent small thatched huts in the wilderness ahead.

This is a house of unknown age. The surrounding walls are made of bricks, the outside is covered with a layer of mud, and the roof is covered with weeds.In front of the house, there is a vegetable field surrounded by a fence. The vegetables inside are covered with seedlings, and there are a few peach trees covered with peaches.

"Is there anyone else over there?" Zhou Zikang stretched his neck to look there.

"Just go and have a look," Li Guangming replied, and then Li Yun blew the car horn.

Huo Xian and Zheng Yan also saw those thatched huts. The Land Rover slowly stopped tens of meters in front of the huts to prevent zombies from invading, and the Hummer stopped steadily a few meters behind.

Get out of the car with your weapon ready, and watch the people in front concentrate on paying attention to the hut. Everyone is looking this way. Zheng Yan is about to get out of the car from the other side when Huo Xian grabs his wrist and pulls him into the car.Zheng Yan threw himself on his chest, screaming "Ah!" and hit his nose.

The man in front of him had a hard chest, which made his nose turn red.

"What are you doing!" Zheng Yan rubbed his nasal cartilage, and couldn't help accusing with tears in his eyes.

Huo Xian wanted to kiss him at first, but at this moment tears came out of his eyes.I didn't care about anything else, I lowered my head and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Zheng Yan rolled his eyes, can you give it a try?

Huo Xian wiped the corners of his eyes helplessly, looked at the peach tree in front of him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt anymore, I'll pick peaches for you to eat."

Li Yun and the others had already gone a long way, Tian Cheng realized that they hadn't caught up, and looked back hesitantly.

Zheng Yan sniffed, and the pain in the nasal cavity eased a little, "Let's go, I'll pick it now."

With a hint of crying in his voice, Huo Xian followed him out of the car.

After catching up with the main force, Zheng Yan squeezed his throat and asked, "Will anyone be there?"

"Don't have too much hope." Huo Xian followed behind him.

Li Guangming echoed: "That's right, if there were someone, they would have come out by this time."

Yes, they had just honked several times, and the night was silent, especially piercing in the dark.

If anyone, as long as he is not deaf and can get out of bed, it is long overdue to come out and see.

There are about a dozen households in this piece of land, most of which grow vegetables in their yards.It's just that the growth is not very good. Occasionally, with the blessing of heaven, the ones that can bloom and bear fruit are also very small.That's right, the weather is so hot, and it's the Buddha's blessing to live forever.

There are a lot of mosquitoes near the deserted house, and you can see mosquitoes flying in groups like small black clouds, disturbing people's mind.

Gradually approaching the front room, the door and nose were not locked. Li Guangming took the lead and knocked on the door panel. After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one answered.

On the contrary, there was a violent impact sound from the house next to it, and several people were startled.Li Yun walked over and used a flashlight to shine through the crack of the door, only to see a hideous and bloody face.

"It's a zombie." Li Yun walked over and said.

The outside door of that house was locked, presumably the people nearby found that the bites could become infected and locked the zombie inside.

There were several violent knocks on the door one after another from the house in the back, and there were not many people listening to the sound, and there were not many.

Li Yun gestured to Huo Xian and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go and have a look."

Seeing him alone, Zhou Zikang hurried to catch up and said, "I'm with you."

The two went to see other houses, and Huo Xian stepped forward to open the door.

The door is not locked outside, and the door is usually locked with a latch inside the door in rural areas.The countryside is not as good as the city. It is very humane. Neighbors are close to each other, and most of them have very good relationships. It is true that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

Therefore, most of the people who sleep and go out do not really lock the door, but just lock it symbolically.

This is because the situation is different this time, it is not human beings, but human-eating monsters.If so, Huo Xian gently pushed the door in, opening a seam as thick as a thumb.

Huo Xian stretched his hand back, Zheng Yan knocked on the melon seeds, and said blankly: "What?"

Huo Xian thought for a while and said, "Chopsticks."

"Oh." Not knowing what he was doing with the chopsticks, Zheng Yan took out a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks for eating.

Huo Xian held the chopsticks, put the legs of the chopsticks into the crack of the door, held the door latch and pulled it slightly.

Feeling that the looseness is not small, the inside should be unlocked. Huo Xian continued to push and pull a few times, and the inside latch was quickly opened, and the wooden door creaked and opened slowly.

The wooden house appeared in front of them.

It was very dark inside, even with a strong flashlight, there was still an inexplicable dimness.

There is only one room in the wooden house, with an area of ​​dozens of square meters, and it is very cold and humid.Inside is both the living room and the kitchen, with pots, bowls and stoves, and a red lacquered wooden table in the middle, which has faded over time, showing the color of the wooden boards.In addition, there is a Kang in the corner, which is the size of a double bed.

Adobe houses of this age are also rare, and it is very difficult to open windows in this kind of house.This thatched hut also has a palm-sized window facing south, other than that there is almost no sunlight every day of the year.It was so hot, the air inside was different from the outside, and there was a strange hot flash.

Huo Xian stepped over the threshold and entered the wooden house, followed by Zheng Yan and Li Guangming.

After only going in to take a few breaths, Zheng Yan's expression changed suddenly, he covered his mouth and rushed out, bumping into Tian Cheng and Hu Fei who were about to come in, and retched.

"What's the matter?" Tian Cheng said strangely, and when she walked into the room, she couldn't stand it and ran out.The three of Hu Fei patted their chests and stood in a row.

Li Guangming twitched a few times in his stomach. Seeing that Huo Xian was not surprised, he was a little unconvinced. He wanted to go out to breathe, but at this time he resisted and stayed.

Under the light of the headlights, there are no bricks on the ground inside, it is the ground that is usually stepped on, so that when people come in, the sky is full of dust, and they burrow into their noses.

The three of Zheng Yan and Tian Cheng retched for a long time, and came back with pale faces. They were far away from the door, and they dared not come over, whether they were dead or alive.

They walked through it in a bloody storm. They had never seen any horrible scenes, but they avoided a small wooden house like snakes and scorpions.

It's just that there are zombies inside. After so many days in the end of the world, I don't have to be afraid of zombies.

But the smell inside really made them stay away.

There were four or five people lying on the double kang, all quite old, with their eyes wide open, with painful and hideous expressions, as if they were dying.

Depending on the situation, it is most likely that he died of thirst or starvation. The water tank in the house was already empty and covered with dust.There was nothing to eat in the room. I don't know how long the person had been dead. The flesh and blood of the whole body were completely rotten. In some places, pale bones were exposed, and there was a layer of corpse water under the body.

Because of the rotten smell, the whole body was covered with flies, and the rotten wound was covered with maggots inside and out. The white worms wriggled up and down, and burrowed into the human body.

Li Guangming took a careful look, turned his head away unbearably, his stomach was overwhelmed.

When those few people died, they were not very peaceful. There were many people and the kang was small. The corpses were arms and legs.

Apart from that, there is still a lot of excrement and urine accumulated in the corner of the wall. Even if it is dry in summer and evaporates quickly, the majestic stench and urine smell still cannot be underestimated!

Li Guangming bit the bullet and persisted for a few minutes. Seeing that Huo Xian still had no intention of retreating, the pungent smell made it hard for him to persist, so he walked out quickly.

Huo Xian looked back outside, Zheng Yan covered his nose and looked at him eagerly, then looked back at the bed.

Huo Xian let out a barely audible sigh, turned and walked out the door.

"How's it going inside?" Zheng Yan asked him with his chin in his hand, he just got closer, and then he ran a long way away and was suffocated.

Huo Xian's face drooped, Zheng Yan covered his nose, and circled around him, "Stop picking peaches for me."

Huo Xian raised his arm and smelled himself, and when he came out, his body was indeed smelly.

The constant stench was still spreading from the house to the outside, Tian Cheng led Hu Fei, approached the hut bravely, and closed the wooden door.

"Is that a human or a zombie?" Zheng Yan poked his head over there.

Huo Xian took off his clothes, revealing his muscular curves, as well as the tight eight-pack abs and mermaid lines on his lower abdomen.His good figure didn't come from running in the gym, but from fighting in the South and North.

Don't look at him wearing clothes and looking thin, but he is actually very heavy, and his muscles are like steel plates, very hard.

Huo Xian threw his clothes aside, walked to the other side of the Humvee alone, and changed his clothes under the cover of the body. Zheng Yan carried a bucket of water and gave him a shower.

Two minutes later, Huo Xian walked back refreshed with wet hair, and changed into clean clothes.

Going back to the original place and repeating the old saying, Li Guangming and Tian Cheng have already discussed this issue. Although Li Guangming stayed in the room for a long time just now, he didn't look carefully in the direction of the kang. He just vomited and didn't pay attention Clearly, people are zombies.

When the two of them came over, Tian Cheng said: "Is it a human or a zombie? Don't say it's a human, how pitiful."

"It's a human." Huo Xian glanced at her.

Tian Cheng fell silent. If it was a human being, how desperate would he be in such a hopeless situation that he wanted to die?

The sound of the zombies knocking on the wooden door gradually weakened, and finally only the family beside them remained.

Soon Li Yun and Zhou Zikang came back with five or six crystal nuclei in their hands.

Zheng Yan stepped forward to take a look, and said in surprise, "That's all?"

"Is anyone... alive?" Zheng Yan asked cautiously.

He asked this question with one tenth of hope. After all, this area is too remote, and the zombie army can't get here.Even if there is an outbreak of zombies, it is estimated that the number will not be many. As long as the survivors can work together, it is not a problem to survive.

What's more, this is in the countryside, with fields and land, peach trees, and wheat, and people will not die of hunger anyway.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that death is not necessarily hunger and thirst, but what is more deadly is despair.

"No one is alive," Zhou Zikang smiled wryly. "We saw several corpses over there. There were no obvious bite wounds on their bodies, and their expressions were normal, but they were not alive."

Zheng Yan stopped.

Zhou Zikang said: "What about your side?"

He looked back at the thatched hut and the house next to the hut that the zombies had beaten, and then turned his head to look at his friend's expression. Zhou Zikang guessed in his heart that it was almost the same.

Zhou Zikang waved his hand and said, "I see, they all committed suicide! They deserve it if they die! This kind of person should be eliminated. How can they die before the last moment? I don't hesitate to die, but I can wait It would be fucking weird to get rescued!"

Another empty joy.

Zhou Zikang and Li Yun walked to the side of the hut, Zhou Zikang backed up and started running, kicking open the wooden door, and the zombie behind was thrown away by the door more than one meter away.Then the two bullied into the house and chopped off the zombie's head.

On the other side, Huo Xian led Zheng Yan around the vegetable field.

Most of the vegetables did not live long due to lack of water, and those that survived were only hung with small greenish-yellow fruits, which were really hard to eat.

Besides the peach trees, what gave them a huge surprise was the grape seedlings in the vegetable fields of the last few households.

The grapes become sweeter when the weather gets hotter, and the purple-red grapes are hung all over the wooden frame, with bunches hanging down.

But there was no one to take care of them for such a long time, and there were not a few bunches that could be eaten, which was a lot of waste. The overripe grapes fell one by one from the ground and dried up in the sun.

Several people immediately rolled up their sleeves to pick grapes, Zheng Yan took out a plastic frame with holes from the space, each with a pair of scissors, and put the cut grapes into the basket.

In the end, a large piece of grape seedlings only picked less than a few dozen bunches of grapes. Excluding the unripe ones and the overripe ones, there are only about 20 bunches that can be eaten.

The good news is that the number of grapes without bunches is not small.

In addition, there were a few bunches of green grapes in the shade that hadn’t grown well yet, thinking that it would be a waste to store them here, I was about to cut those bunches of grapes and take them away.

Huo Xian stroked his newly grown beard and stopped his movement.

"Wait a moment." Huo Xian said.

Zheng Yan withdrew his hand obediently, oh, and went to cut other grapes.

These grapes are really sweet, Tian Cheng volunteered to wash a bunch, shared a handful in everyone's hands, and cried out deliciously after taking a bite.

They also ate grapes once or twice during this period, and they were still good products collected by Zheng Yan from the supermarket, but when compared with these bunches of grapes, they were thrown away eight hundred miles away.

It’s just that there are more seeds than grapes in the supermarket, but it’s really sweet. The sweet and abundant grape juice melts into the mouth, making it indescribably moist and delicious.

Zheng Yan shook his head while eating, and sighed: "I don't know what they think, but I can't bear to die just running for such delicious grapes!"

Huo Xian touched the top of his head and stuffed his share into his hand.

Then Huo Xian strode forward, Zheng Yan was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously caught up with him, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Huo Xian shook his hand without turning his head.

Zheng Yan was so happy to eat two servings, and followed Huo Xian leisurely.

"It's a pity, there are only a few strings, more would be nice." Zheng Yan followed behind Huo Xian and said, "We can make wine and drink it at that time, it must be delicious."

Huo Xian didn't speak, his face was calm and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Zheng Yan didn't care either, Huo Xian was a bit machismo, he had his own set of ideas in everything, he was usually reticent and not good at words, he liked to keep his head down and didn't discuss with him.

The people behind followed after eating the grapes in admiration, even chewing the grape skins several times, making full use of the remaining value.

When he came under the peach tree, Huo Xian paused. When Zheng Yan caught up, he stuffed the scissors to him, and took out a basket from the space, put it on his chest, and let him hold it.

Then pull the person under the peach tree.

Huo Xianren is tall and has long hands, so he can get peaches without climbing trees.

I saw that he was working with both left and right hands at the same time, and the speed of his left hand was not inferior to that of his right hand. With one hand, he could firmly grasp four peaches at the same time, and then put them into the basket.

The home-grown peaches grown in this kind of rural areas are crisp peaches, which have not been sprayed with too many pesticides, and some peaches have wormholes on them.

Zheng Yan said with a little distaste: "The peaches are all spoiled, why are you still picking them, can you eat them?"

Huo Xian's hands were covered with peach fluff, which was very uncomfortable to touch, so Huo Xian pushed Zheng Yan a little further away.

Putting the eight peaches in his hand into the basket, Huo Xiancai said: "Bugs are smarter than you."

Zheng Yan blinked, blinked again, and said silently, "Are you secretly scolding me?"

Huo Xian: "..."

Tian Cheng finished eating the grapes, came over to wash the peaches with a water basin, and said, "You didn't understand what he meant. There is indeed a saying that bugs are smarter than humans. They know which peaches are the sweetest, so don't look down on them." Peaches with worms are sweeter and more delicious than normal peaches, okay?"

Zheng Yan raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

After Tian Cheng washed the peaches, he dug out the places where the worms grew, and handed them to him.

Zheng Yan took a bite of Tian Cheng's hand, it was crunchy and sweet, crisp and sweet, it was so sweet to his heart.

Zheng Yan narrowed his eyes comfortably, "Really!"

Tian Cheng chuckled, and after speaking with the facts, he started to eat by himself.

Zheng Yan opened his mouth and waited to be fed, Tian Cheng ignored him, Zheng Yan muttered to himself: "It's not sweet at all..."

There are seven or eight peach trees in total, with thousands of peaches, waiting for Zhou Zikang and Li Yun to finish eating the grapes.The three climbed up the tree and took a long time to finish picking.

Such delicious peaches must be taken away, Zheng Yan looked at the branches and leaves worriedly, and said: "Don't lose one, don't!"

Zhou Zikang climbed the tree like a monkey, showing off his dexterity by stretching out his hand, while shouting: "Don't worry, you are here!"

Most of the peaches are ripe, but there are quite a few worms.

Picked all the peaches, there were less than three baskets, enough for... himself... and Huo Xian... for a while.

Yes, Zheng Yan squatted on the ground shamelessly thinking about taking this batch of goods to himself!

There are less than three baskets of peaches, and there will be nothing left after eating.If two people eat and seven people eat, that's a lot of savings.

Tian Cheng still wanted to wash something to eat, but Zheng Yan brushed it away, and the things in front of him suddenly became empty, Tian Cheng's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Why did you put everything away?"

Zheng Yan said quite confidently: "It's so hot, it's easy to let it go bad."

It made sense for Tian Cheng to think about it, but when he remembered the crisp and sweet taste, he kept pestering him. "Give me another one, okay?"

Hu Fei followed behind Tian Cheng, and said greedily, "I want it too."

The handsome assistant said, "I just picked peaches, I want them too, give them to me."

Zheng Yan rolled his eyes at the handsome assistant, just now he was jumping up and down, and it would only add to the chaos.

Zheng Yan chuckled, pretended to take out his pockets, and then took advantage of the moment they relaxed, and ran away.

While running, he subconsciously looked for Huo Xian's figure. After running around, he suddenly stopped and looked around.

Where did Huo Xian go?
