Plant Invasion [End Times]

"Are you from the mobile team?" Shen Kuo made a calm gesture to the elderly and children under the door, walked to the door, and asked in a cold voice.

More than 20 pairs of eyes stared at the iron gate without blinking, waiting for the answer from the person outside the gate.

The person on the other side of the door was silent for a moment, and then cursed violently.

"Otherwise, who else is it? What's the matter with you? Are you impatient to live? Don't you want to eat? Let me knock on the door for so long. Don't you need to knock hard! Why don't you open the door for me quickly, The food is outside. Waiting for someone to die." The visitor said angrily and kicked the door.

The old woman sitting under the door lock was startled, stood up tremblingly, and stretched out her hand to open the door for the people outside.Shen Kuo pressed her hand lightly and shook his head in disapproval.

He lay on the door and tried to look out, but this big iron door was specially made by the army, and it was tightly closed after it was closed, without any gaps, so it was impossible to see the outside situation at all.

Shen Kuo's village is surrounded by a wall more than four meters high, and the only entrance is this big iron gate.These were built for them when the government sent troops out to scavenge for food in the early days of the end.

When the doomsday was approaching, the whole country urgently determined 36 base cities to concentrate national resources. Citizens of other cities moved to the nearest base city as much as possible. Temporary bases established by surrounding cities or towns, where newcomers are arranged to move in, so that the government can distribute various resources.

As for Shen Kuo’s village, it is the third situation. It is not well-informed and the place is remote. Almost all the villagers in the village are left-behind women and children, and the transportation is inconvenient. Squeeze and explode.Although the government has an army to help transport people, after all, there are too many places that need help. They are a remote and small place with only a few hundred people, so naturally they can't get much attention.The plants around their village were already luxuriant. When the apocalypse came, they grew crazily and surrounded the village. The outside of the village became a killing field for plants. If they want to leave the village and go to a distant base city, they are basically 90-year-old birthday stars. Hanging yourself - it's too long to die.

Small villages like theirs were almost all sacrificed by plants that turned aggressive once the doomsday came, and the places where many people could survive were cities with few plants.However, because Shen Kuo’s grandfather ignored the opposition of the villagers before the end of the day, he led Shen Kuo to dig the land for half a year, not only planed out the weeds in the village, but also dug out a circle around the village without plant growth. In addition, the trees in the village were sold by him a long time ago, which avoided the result of the destruction of the village.

Therefore, among the temporary bases everywhere, Shen Kuo's village can be regarded as a wonderful work.When their village was discovered by the army who took a shortcut to search for food in the next city, they were really shocked.

But at that time the plants were already very lush, and it was often dangerous to enter the jungle, and the base city was already full, and the surrounding temporary bases were also crowded.It was found that the army in their village had no way to take them away. Since their village was not too far from the base city, they could only be included as one of the temporary bases. They built high walls and big iron gates to isolate the dangers outside from the walls.

In the first month, Shen Kuo and the others could often get some daily necessities from the passing army, but as the plants outside grew more lush and horrifying, no army came to give them this little temporary The base has delivered food.The last time Shen Kuo and his village got people from the base city to deliver food to them was four months ago. There was only one person who came, driving a big truck. Adapted from the original members of the military elite.

The other party made it very clear that the future of human beings is unknown, and the mutation of plants does not know how long it will last. The scientific researchers all over the world have been unable to make breakthroughs in solving the highly toxic toxins in plants. The last time I got the resource relief from the base city.

"Village head!" The old man standing in front of Shen Kuo shouted in a low voice, and waved his hand in front of Shen Kuo's eyes. Shen Kuo blinked and recovered from the memory.As soon as he thought about it, he already knew who was outside the door.

"It turns out that the comrades from the mobile team who delivered food to us are here. Disrespect and disrespect." He said unhurriedly, motioning for the old people who had just stood up nervously to sit down, and moved a small bench to sit on down.

The person outside the door shouted angrily: "If you know, don't rush to open the door."

Shen Kuo continued weakly: "You don't know how sad our days are - we are all hungry. The people in the village are starving to death, and they can only tighten their belts and lie on the bed to survive without sleep. How can we make it through? A few more died in the village yesterday, all of whom have been neighbors for decades, and we have been friends for a lifetime, but we are so hungry that we don’t even have the strength to collect a corpse. Oh, hey--this It's been a tough day--"

The people outside the door couldn't bear to hear it, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Shen Kuo's complaint. After Shen Kuo finished complaining, he reluctantly said a few words of comfort: "This is nothing to do, the superior It’s also tight, our mayor only drinks a bowl of porridge a day, and he would rather squeeze out the food for you when he is hungry.”

He changed his words and said again: "No, didn't I bring you food? White rice, biscuits, bread, chocolate, beef jerky, ham sausage... Damn, I said that I want it all I’m drooling. Hurry up! If you don’t open the door again, I’m going to try to guard myself.”

There was no movement inside the door.

The people outside the door waited, and then said: "The supply of food is getting tighter and tighter. This time, more food is given in order to compensate. I listen to the meaning of the above, and there may be no food left in the next few months." Here it is for you, after all, there are millions of people in the city, and the need is much greater than yours here. You hurry up and open the door, this is the last food, after this village, there is no such store..."

Shen Kuo knew that the people outside were in a hurry.

"Why don't we want to open the door for you, my comrade," Shen Kuo said bitterly, "The lock on this big iron door is so tight, we are so hungry that we have no energy left."

"Then what do you want?" the man outside hesitated.

The corners of Shen Kuo's mouth curled imperceptibly, and then he put it away immediately: "Throw some food in first, comrades of the mobile team, we will have the strength to open the door when we are full."

"Bang—" The iron door slammed heavily, and there was another curse from outside the door.

Shen Kuo laughed secretly at the door, and continued to raise his voice: "Comrade of the mobile team, please bring in some food!"

There was no sound outside the door.

Shen Kuo yelled again, but there was no answer from outside the door. Shen Kuo put his ear on the door and listened. After confirming that there was no one outside the door, he asked the person who lived next to the door to look upstairs.A small head popped out upstairs and said, "I saw a—" and was interrupted. Qin Yueyue, the girl who had just blocked Shen Kuo in the morning, carried the child who answered Shen Kuo's words, and said loudly: "Village chief, I saw a bearded savage all in tatters go towards the woods."

Shen Kuo nodded, and then he was relieved.

The old ladies around the door pulled him and asked, "Village chief, who is that? Why isn't the government here to deliver food to us?"

If it is not about "lifetime events", Shen Kuo is still willing to chat with the old ladies in the village. He respects and loves his grandfather, and he is also very kind to the elderly.

"That, do you still remember the comrades in the mobile team who came to deliver food to us a few months ago?" Shen Kuo said.

The old ladies nodded and asked eagerly, "What does it matter?"

"The comrades of the mobile team have talked about the situation in the base city. It is said that in order to save food, the city has issued extremely strict laws and regulations. All residents who violate the laws and regulations will be expelled from the city and left to fend for themselves."

"In the early days of the base city, many people were expelled from the city because of disturbances."

Shen Kuo's eyes gradually became distant: "There are ferocious plants outside, and they have no food. Tell me, how should these people live?"

The old ladies sympathized and said, "Yes, how do you live? People in this city are too heartless, right?"

"There is no way around this. There are too many people. Even if all the surrounding resources are gathered together, a city with tens of millions of people will have a shortage of food. This is different from the so-called siege of zombies. Zombie siege, at least as long as you escape for your life, as long as you escape from the hands of zombies, there is still hope for survival. After solving the zombies and developing production, human beings will soon recover. But our food source is cut off, and we can grow All the plants are highly poisonous, and there is no hope if there is no food. People in the government have no choice but to eat less food.”

"Those who were expelled from the base city by the strict decree, I am afraid that most of them are already dead. They were not killed by the plants, or they may have starved to death. But who knows what else they can do? Maybe they found a vigilant Gao’s temporary base, he went in, swindled food and drink, and maybe, with resentment in his heart, he murdered and set fire..."

The old ladies showed fearful expressions, and someone stammered and asked, "Then... is it difficult, could it be that the person just now was—"

"Maybe." Shen Kuo nodded, but frowned, and said again: "But it's not necessarily true, how far is our place from the base city, the mobile team didn't come, let alone they were kicked out like this , It is not easy for people who have no food and no equipment to come to us. I thought, there is another possibility."

"What else is possible?" The old ladies were puzzled.

"If the city doesn't send us food for four months, it's already giving up on us. Although there were only 200 people when we first reported, the situation in the city is definitely not optimistic. The surrounding areas of the base city For other temporary bases, it may be difficult to get any resources to replenish. Four months have passed, what do you think they eat?"

"On this day, they don't even have tree roots to eat. Once they run out of food, they should all starve to death..." the old ladies trembled.

Shen Kuo nodded: "Most starved to death, and those who did not starve to death, I am afraid they can only survive by cannibalism. Even the people in the base have been eaten up, and those who have turned into evil spirits People who have no choice but to go out to find food."

"The so-called end times are probably like this."

For a while, the people at the entrance of the village were silent.

This topic is too heavy. When their village first ran out of food, they were also afraid, but they had Shen Kuo in their village. Before everyone was cornered, Shen Kuo took out life-saving food, and took more and more .Although the variety is always changing, and sometimes it is not easy to eat, but it is full after all.The heavy atmosphere and topics of the doomsday were left behind by everyone, and the village was full of joy and carefree atmosphere.

At this time, Shen Kuo suddenly mentioned it, and everyone realized that they were eating and drinking well, but the people outside were already in dire straits and living in hell.

This is not a time of peace and prosperity, but the end of the year of great famine.
