Survival [End Times]

Cui Nan was shocked: "No wonder... we can't go, it's too dangerous!"

Yu Heng visually measured the distance, took out his gun, took aim, and clicked——

The branch carrying the flower disk was as thick as an adult's calf. He shot three times at the same spot. The branch broke off and the flower disk tilted downward, leaving a little bit hanging on.

The flower is not "dead" yet. After being suddenly attacked, its vines are swinging desperately, fearing to be beaten, and the saw teeth in the middle of the flower disk are also opening and closing. However, the more he struggled, the greater the cross section spread, and black and red mucus kept pouring out from the branches.

Yu Heng seized an opportunity and fired another shot at the same spot.

The flower disk completely fell off.

All movement and silence disappeared.

The two waited for a while, and the flower stopped moving at all.

"There's a way!" Cui Nan was so happy that she almost jumped up.

After that, Yu Heng followed the same method and cleared a gap from the left side where the piranha flowers were less densely grown.

"Be careful." Yu Heng said to Cui Nan.

"Know."

Ever since this neighbor took out his gun and showed his superb marksmanship, he was in awe. After all, where have ordinary citizens seen guns? I also feel like this neighbor is hiding a lot - where did he get this gun?

But now was not the time to think about this. The two of them carefully climbed down the tree. Before they could reach the door, three people suddenly ran over from next door to the bottled water store and entered the store ahead of them.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Yu Heng stopped and watched quietly as the three people ran out again in a mess. One of them covered his hands and sprayed blood as he ran. The blood fell on the broken piranha flowers on the side, and the branches twitched. , unexpectedly gave birth to small flower buds all of a sudden.

"Ahhhh it hurts so much!!"

"Run!"

"Those people are too impatient."

Yu Heng didn't say anything. He just stood in the gap and continued to clean the piranha flowers inside.

Bang bang bang——

Five minutes later, when the area cleared was enough for a person to enter without being caught by the surrounding piranha vines, Yu Heng took the lead in entering.

It was very dark inside, but there were no insects or snakes at all. They must have been eaten by piranha flowers.

There were a lot of bottled water, some were piled on the shelves, and some rolled to the floor, covered in mud.

He didn't mind either, so he picked up the stuff on the ground and rolled it outside. At the same time, tie a knot with the core of the yellow vine, and use it to tie the bottled water that is far away among the flowers. Once you tie one, you will pull the other one over. He quickly hauled out all the barrels of water he could, put twenty barrels into the storage ring, and rolled the rest out the door.

By the time he walked out carefully, there was already a fight for the water outside.

"Yu Heng, come quickly!"

Cui Nan clung to the ten buckets of water next to him, waving the kitchen knife in his hand to prevent others from attacking him.

He walked over quickly, and Cui Nan started to put water into open bags, and each of them left directly carrying a bag.

"Save one bucket for me! You've already taken two buckets!"

“Be careful of flowers eating people and don’t push them!!”

When the water grabbers came to their senses, all the hundreds of buckets of water outside had been snatched away.

"There are a lot more there!" someone said.

"Oh, which god made the water just now? Let him make other water come out too!"

"Where are the people?"

"I just thought I saw a person coming out of it... He's no longer here now."

"How to deal with it?"

Here Yu Heng heard Cui Nan talk about something.

"Not long after you entered, people from the community came and ran away carrying the water without saying a word."

"Um."

The two didn't speak again after that, and returned home the same way they came.

"The Qijiang River is gone. We will have to find other water sources in the future."

Father Yu: "I have a geographical map of our province at home. Do you want to take a look and find other rivers?"

"It may not be useful. Dad, please find it first and let me take a look."

"That's right, even the Qijiang River can be gone... such a wide river! When you were a child, I took you on the ferry to play on the opposite side. I'll go to the study first to look for it."

Yu’s mother: “Yes, who would have thought of it! By the way, what is this?” She saw a plant from the backpack Yu Heng put down - “What is this? It looks so beautiful.”

This medicinal plant called [Kudzu Heart] is very tenacious. It has been out of the soil for nearly a day and is still fresh and green.

"This is called Ge Xin, it can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation."

"That's a really good thing. It's beautiful and easy to use. How to grow this? Just like aloe vera?" They also have a pot of aloe vera planted on their balcony.

"Yes, Mom, find a flowerpot and plant it. Wait two days before dividing it." By the way, he told Yu's mother how to plant it.

"It's simple. It sounds similar to growing aloe vera. You go take a bath and I'll cook noodles for you."

It was now past three o'clock in the afternoon. He had missed lunch and was still far away from dinner, so Yu's mother cooked noodles for him, added braised eggs, and piled a lot of canned meat slices on top.

As soon as she put the bowl on the dining table, she heard a knock on the door.

Looking through the peephole, oh, a bunch of people!

"Old Yu, come and see! There are many people outside!"

Father Yu threw away the rag and put down the bucket of water on hand. He was wiping the bucket.

"Let's see...what's going on!"

He just opened the wooden door inside and asked through the iron gate: "Is something wrong?"

The first person to speak was a strange man: "I'm from Building Six. My son went out with your son today. Why hasn't he come back since your son came back?"

"How do I know! Your son's name is Cui Nan? My son only went out with Cui Nan today! I don't know who your son is!"

He closed the door directly.

"I'm so angry. They must have secretly followed Xiao Heng and the others out. Now they come to ask our son for him when he hasn't come back. What's the reason!"

There was another knock on the door outside, clamoring for Yu Heng to come out and talk.

"Dad, I'll come."

Yu Heng came over, wiping his hair, opened the door and said, "I really haven't seen your son, son-in-law, and nephew."

"Then, then they followed you out."

He raised his eyebrows: "Oh, they followed me, so I have to bring them back as a father and mother? Let's talk some sense, don't bother my family with such things, it's so annoying."

Bang. The door was closed.

The dazed man outside the door seemed to be awakened, almost trembling as he looked at the people around him, seeking the same feeling: "That, his eyes just now were so scary."

"Yes, yes, I thought I was going to die."

"This kid is weird!"

You said a few words and I said a few words, slowly the fear subsided, and I remembered the business again.

"What should we do? It seems that he really doesn't know."

"Forget it, let's go outside to look for it, maybe he got lost."

In the room, Yu's father asked him: "Did they really follow you out?"

"There were about ten people following from a distance, and they didn't come up, so I ignored them." He repeated what Cui Nan said. "I thought they must have come back first."

"Hey, I don't know where they went after taking the water, and let their family worry about it."

Yu's mother didn't think this had anything to do with her son. They were all adults, and they couldn't take care of themselves? Her son was only in his early twenties, and he came to cause trouble whenever something happened. She didn't say that they followed her son without permission.

Having said that, Yu's father and mother still paid attention to those people until it was dark. Those people came back with big and small bags. No one was heard crying at home at night. They guessed that these people should have returned safely.

I was relieved.

Yu Heng didn't take it to heart. Those people were just strangers to him.

But no one came to their house again. He urged his parents to practice [General Principles of Physical Fitness] and gave his father the gene improvement liquid.

After taking it, Yu's father's meat addiction became less severe and he began to want to eat vegetables. At the same time, his strength became stronger and stronger, and his reading glasses were removed.

In comparison, Yu's mother, who had taken it before, had more obvious external effects. First of all, she changed her hair to black. The white hair fell off gradually during this period, and the new hair that grew was black and thick.

When her hair was short, she didn't dare to see anyone for fear of being seen by others. She is three years older than Yu's father, and used to look older than him. Now her physical fitness has improved, her hearing and eyesight are sharp, and she looks ten years younger.

Under such good conditions, Yu Heng must urge them to exercise.

So the two of them cultivated the sense of Qi one after another, which made Yu Heng very happy.

After everyone in the family took it, Yu Heng freed up his hands to take the gene improvement liquid himself. After taking it, the effect of practicing [General Principles of Physical Fitness] was better.

Yu Heng hoped that after taking it, the bodies of his family members would not be easily assimilated when encountering strong genes - his own genes are also strong enough!

In such a joyful atmosphere, they welcomed the first rain.

The rain fell at noon, without any signs before it fell. It was still sunny outside, but it rained heavily here, and the wind was also quite strong.

"Oh, it's finally raining! The weather is too hot!"

The rain was very welcome.

At Yu's house, Yu's mother packed out a lot of sheets, bedspreads, pillowcases... and prepared to do a thorough cleaning.

The buckets and basins that Yu Heng brought back earlier played a big role. He and Yu's father took the buckets and basins downstairs and put the things on the open ground. The pouring rainwater soon filled the buckets.

He carried the water upstairs, carefully avoiding other people. Now the corridor was full of people carrying water back and forth.

Yu's mother wiped the furniture and mopped the floor at home. The glass doors were all open, and the cool breeze squeezed in through the rattan net that was not as tight as before after drying, and the air in the house was very fresh.

The water after washing things was directly poured from the back balcony, which was convenient.

This rain came quickly, but it lasted for ten days and ten nights.

The clothes that Yu's mother washed first had been dried by the wind long ago. Fortunately, she did not wash thick clothes, otherwise, after so many days of rain, even if there was wind, it would become damp and wet, and it would not be able to dry at all.

Yu Heng's house was full of buckets and basins, and those plastic storage boxes were also taken by their family to store water.

The stored rainwater can be used for more than two months. If it rains again in two months, and we store it again, we won’t have to worry about water problems in the future.

But there is another bad news, that is, the pipeline gas was cut off on the second day of the heavy rain.

“There will be no way to boil hot water for you to take a bath in the future.” Yu’s mother was very worried: “Will it be too cold to take a bath directly with this rain water?”

“No, it’s not like we are directly exposed to the rain. This rain water has been stored for a while, it’s okay.”

“But I don’t know if it’s dirty or has bacteria… I still have to boil it.”

“Don’t worry, mom, our family’s physical fitness can adapt to this rain water.” Besides, he added [Universal Cleaner] powder to all the rain water stored at home, so the water quality is clean.

Mother Yu thought of the potion she had taken before, and how she had used up one-third of the water in the house to take a bath. Her body and her husband's body had indeed become much stronger. The old backaches that had lasted for many years were all cured.

In addition, she practiced the "Martial Arts Secret Book" - yes, in Ms. Qiu's eyes, it was the legendary martial arts secret book. Her strength increased. She could not walk up and down the stairs as fast as flying, but she no longer felt that her knees could not bear the pressure.

When her son said, "It will be fine, don't worry, Mom," she was completely relieved.

Indeed, after taking cold showers for so many days, the family did not even have a headache or fever, which shows how strong their bodies were.

The heavy rain for ten days and ten nights did not cause any floods. Father Yu occasionally looked at the tall and towering trees outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Trees are still good, more trees and a good environment, this flood storage capacity is really amazing."

In fact, this forest is really good, but it is not suitable for them humans to live in.
