Apocalyptic waste

He San listened for a while, and after making sure that no one was approaching, he said to the others: "If you don't want to have a conflict with Wei Dong now, it's best not to win over others for now."

Wei Dong?Win over people?Qiao Yong and the others were confused, "What do you mean?"

He San didn't answer right away, but waited until he had finished eating his share of meat before saying: "Wei Dong is the boss here, he took all your things away, he probably didn't want to fight with you, so he only took things. You didn’t take off your clothes, otherwise, you would have lost all your coats and sweaters. But if you blatantly took away his subordinates, even if he didn’t want to be your enemy anymore, he would have to come to him. Otherwise, who would obey him? "

Qiao Yong was a little stunned when he heard that, but he didn't expect to fall into this position, and even form gangs.However, when they heard that the other party only took the food and did not take off the clothes and asked his subordinates to be merciful, several people couldn't help laughing angrily, but thinking that getting more information is the key point, so they all held back for the time being.

In fact, until now, He San didn't explain what it was that imprisoned them. He talked a lot, but there wasn't much useful stuff in it.

Qiao Yong became impatient, and asked directly: "What is the thing that brought us here? Is it a person?"

He San fell silent, and he didn't speak until others urged him: "At first, we also thought they were humans. But after a long time, we realized that they are very low in intelligence, timid, unable to speak, and the weather is so cold. I don’t know how to find clothes to wear. The most important thing is that their bodies are very soft, as if they have no bones, they can be twisted into any shape, and they can also climb on walls and roofs like geckos. And their bodies are covered with pus Blisters, the pus that comes out is more terrifying than aqua regia. It is impossible for people to do this." He seemed very unwilling to say this, and there was strong disgust and fear in his eyes, but because everyone was in the dark, the others Couldn't see it.

"It's not a zombie, because I haven't seen them eat people. If they don't eat people... probably not a zombie." He continued, the tone of the last sentence was a little uncertain.The evaluation criteria for zombies should initially be corpses that can walk, or living corpses. However, for humans in the last days, when mentioning zombies, the first thing that comes to mind is that they eat people.Those who don't eat people, even if they can fly into the sky, are probably not considered zombies, at most they are called flying corpses.

"But they should have been human beings before." He San felt that he had almost said it, and stopped after saying this last sentence.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Although other people thought so after seeing those things from a distance, Qiao Yong still asked.

"At the beginning, there were some rags hanging on them, which seemed to be clothes or something, but they didn't have any later. Moreover, they didn't wear clothes, and except for the hair loss, other signs were no different from humans , can also distinguish between men and women." After He San finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly, trying to suppress the feeling of nausea.At the beginning, in order to figure out what kind of hands he fell into, he spent a lot of time and seized every opportunity to observe the characteristics of those monsters. Dreams, and for a long time, I often wake up at night, and then look around in fear, and discover something that makes my hair stand on end.

"Maybe it's another alienation of human beings." Lu Jun said suddenly.

Everyone thought it was true, and since then, they have called those things half-human, which means that they are half awakened, half corpse, neither human nor corpse, neither human nor ghost.

"How many are there?" Qiao Yong continued to ask.

"I don't know." He San shook his head, "They are fast, like to hide in the dark, never appear together, and they look similar, so it's hard to judge."

"How many people are there?" Qiao Yong changed the question.

"71." He San answered quickly this time, because he would count three times a day, once in the morning, at noon and at night, to make sure that no one disappeared without reason.It is also through this behavior to indirectly prove that those half-humans do not eat people.

"Why don't you escape?" Qiao Yong asked again.

"Why don't you escape? But you can't escape." He San felt that this question was idiotic, but he still restrained himself and explained. "At the very beginning, they threw us here and left us alone. They didn't give us anything to eat, and they didn't show up very often. We couldn't wait to die here, so we talked about running away. We weren't stopped when we left. But this is the city center, there are zombies everywhere, within two streets, almost half of the people were lost, and the rest also got separated, some fled into shops, some fled into office buildings, and People who fled into hotels, shopping malls, and movie theaters probably went wherever they could hide. However, it is ridiculous that all the survivors were arrested in the end. Later, there were several escapes, But those are all newcomers, but the old man didn’t participate anymore, knowing that he couldn’t run away, why bother to take another blow.”

"Could it be that no one escaped successfully?" Ah Qing felt that this fact was weird, so she couldn't help but interjected.

He San shook his head, then remembered that it was in the dark and no one else could see it, so he said again: "No. I haven't seen it anyway."

"Didn't you say that those half-humans don't care about you at all? Why can't they run away?"

"I still want to know." He San grumbled angrily, "Anyway, no matter when you ran or how far you ran, you will be brought back before dark."

"And what if they escaped after dark?"

"No one runs after dark." He San got a little impatient when asked. "Run to survive, not to commit suicide."

"What are those half-humans bringing all the people here for?" After being choked by him, Qiao Yong was not angry and continued to ask.In fact, he asked this question once before, but He San's answer puzzled him, so he wanted to clarify some more.

"I really don't know about this." He San felt dissatisfied that the heat generated by the freshly eaten meat had been consumed by talking, "Why do you have so many questions..."

"Share some more meat with you." Qiao Yong said suddenly.

He San cheered up, and his impatience disappeared instantly, "I want half of it."

"One finger." Qiao Yong bargained without any loss.Although He San got all the meat, without them, he probably wouldn't be able to keep half of it.Now they don't have any food on their hands, so naturally they can't be extravagant.

"Two fingers." He San said, seemingly taking a step back, but the flesh in Qiao Yong's hand was originally only half the size of a palm, and the width of the two fingers was actually about half the width.

"One finger, do you want love or not." Qiao Yong no longer gave him a chance to bargain.

"Okay, let's bring the meat first." He San said in a very regretful and unwilling tone, but his eyes hidden in the darkness were full of smiles.It is probably because I have a preliminary understanding of the character of several people, so I can rest assured to cooperate with them for the time being.

After receiving the meat strips brought by Qiao Yong, he didn't eat it immediately, but treasured it and hid it in a hidden pocket somewhere inside his clothes. When he spoke again, he spoke in more detail.

"I really don't know why those half-humans put us here. However, I found that they are very fast, they hardly make a sound when they move, and they always like to hide in the dark and peep. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, generally Nothing will happen. But if you want to kill them all, you will usually die first. Because the speed of long-distance attack is not as fast as them, and you can’t even find their shadows. How do you attack? If Hand to hand combat, hey..."

Hearing this, Qiao Yong and others also felt that it was a bit tricky, and they couldn't help thinking hard there, looking for a way out.But apart from the fact that they appear and disappear, after all, they don't have a very intuitive impression of half-humans, so they are not too afraid.And their purpose is not to kill each other, but to escape.

"By the way, what's going on with the mutated plant forest at the entrance of the North City?" Qiao Yong asked as he thought of the plant forest that suddenly disappeared.

"Yeah, it's so fucking weird!" As soon as this was mentioned, Liu Xia's stomach was full of bitterness, so he complained and told others about his experience, which made everyone dumbfounded.

He San was even more surprised: "There is such a thing? So, even if we escape from this place successfully, we won't be able to leave the city?"

"You don't know?" Qiao Yong was surprised, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"It was still very hot when I was brought in, and there wasn't even a single green grass, let alone a mutated plant forest. Needless to say, you all know." He San said disappointedly.Originally, he had hoped that these few rookies who seemed to be capable could escape from here, but who knew there was such a strange thing outside.Is he destined to squat here until he dies?

No one spoke, the darkness obliterated everything, obviously everyone was worried about their situation, especially Qiao Yong and the others, they had to consider not only themselves, but also other people waiting outside who had completely run out of food .

"Maybe our perception of direction and distance is wrong in the dark. As long as we understand the topography and roads of Zhafeng City, we should be able to find the way out." After a while, Chen Changchun said aloud.

Although I think this explanation is far-fetched, after all, even if the perception is wrong, it is impossible for everyone to make mistakes together, and the mistakes are so exaggerated.But when it comes to this situation, you always have to keep some hope for yourself. As for what the truth is, as long as they don't give up and escape, they will figure it out sooner or later.

"Do you know the way out of the city?" Qiao Yong asked He San.

"I don't know. I'm not from Zafeng. I just drove by once or twice before. This time, I was knocked out and carried in. How would I know?" I'm afraid it will turn into a bubble again this time.

"Then is there anyone here who is familiar with Zafeng City?" Qiao Yong continued to ask without giving up.

"There used to be one or two, but now they are gone. Now the rest are foreigners." He San smiled wryly.

Qiao Yong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that it was a leaky house and it was raining overnight, but he did not express too much disappointment, but said to the others: "Then we have to find another way...in fact, there is a map as well."

"I have." Liu Xia immediately said, but soon sighed helplessly: "No more." But he felt empty when he touched his body, remembering that he was plotted against when he was checking the map.The map must have fallen in place.

Everyone could not help but sigh with regret.However, since one can be found, then the second one must be found. The most urgent thing is to find a way to get out of this place. However, the sky is dark now, which is not conducive to investigating the situation and drawing up plans. Everything can only start tomorrow.Therefore, after knowing that there was no danger for the time being, everyone lost the interest to continue talking. They huddled together, meditated, slept, and returned to silence.

But in the private house five kilometers away in Zafon City, it was not so peaceful. After a whole day, from full of expectation to disappointment, someone finally broke out.

"Did they leave by themselves?" The person who spoke was a Ronghe local named Tan Xing, in his thirties, who had gathered after Qiao Yong and the others arrived in Ronghe.He is not an awakened person himself, but he has learned a few fists and kicks from others, and he is in his prime, so although he was trapped in the county town, he survived.After all, they are latecomers, and they have never shared adversity. They don't have as much confidence in Qiao Yong as other old people, and they will inevitably think too much when they encounter problems.

"Impossible, Boss Qiao is not that kind of person." Liang Guanlun denied it.As a non-awakened person, he has no doubts about the character of Qiao Yong and others.

"He's not, isn't it true that others aren't? As long as a few other people have that kind of thinking and persuade him a few more times, he can still hold on? What's more, he couldn't do it before, but it doesn't mean he can't now. After all..." After all, If it continues like this, no one will survive.What Tan Xing wanted to say was this, and his thoughts were not wrong, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a violent roar.

"Put your mother's stinky farts on! You are still a fucking human, Old Joe and the others risked their lives to help everyone get food. Now your life and death are unknown, and you are still saying some chilling things here, Your conscience was eaten by a dog?" Xiong Hua pointed at his nose and cursed.He has a very good relationship with Liu Xia, and he is anxious, how could he hear such suspicious words from his teammates.

"I think Tan Xing is right." A rather handsome man in his 20s said lightly.His name is Bai Feng, and he is also one of the survivors in Ronghe County. He is a person with water abilities. "In this world, anything can happen. I don't doubt Joe's character, but we should be prepared." After a pause, he glanced at Xiong Hua, and said with a sneer: " We are just living together, no one is more noble than the other, it is better to be polite."

Tan Xing's face turned blue when he was scolded, but due to his identity as a Xiong Hua awakened person and the current situation, he couldn't easily get angry. Hearing Bai Feng's words, he couldn't help but look a little better, and gave him a grateful look.

"Damn..." Xiong Hua was furious, but before he could utter the swear words, he was covered by a hand.

"If we want to leave, we can leave at any time, there is no need to use this method at all." He Yukun said coldly. "It's the same with you, if you want to leave, then leave." Then he ignored those people with suspicious eyes, turned his head to look at Xiong Hua, whose forehead was throbbing with veins covering his mouth, "Now is not the time to argue, want to Find a way to figure out what happened, and get the person back is the key." While speaking, he let go of his hand.

At this time, Xiong Hua had also calmed down, glaring at Tan Xing, Bai Feng and others dissatisfiedly, he turned his attention away: "Tomorrow I will take a few people to look for it."

Hearing this sentence, the faces of those who believed that Qiao Yong and others had left them and ran away couldn't help but change slightly, but they didn't make a sound. Obviously, what He Yukun said just now still made them feel scruples.

"The six of them are already the most capable among us. If they are really in trouble, even they won't be able to come back. Going to a few more people may not be of much use. Don't forget, Liu Xia hasn't come back either. , who is better at escaping than Liu Xia?" It was Hao Weiming who objected, and he was not close or far from both sides, so he was able to look at the problem rationally.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and even He Yukun couldn't refute it.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" He Yukun asked after a pause.

"According to me, we will continue to open the road tomorrow until we reach the outside of Zhafeng City, and then we will decide what to do according to the situation." Hao Weiming obviously thought about this issue carefully, and asked without thinking about it.It turned out that while waiting for Qiao Yong and others to come back, they were not idle. Instead, they searched for edible mutant plants while opening the way, and carried everyone forward with their backs or arms. Now they are in the new stationing point.Because it is walking along the road, and there are always people monitoring the situation on the road and surroundings, so I am not afraid of missing it with Qiao Yong and others. "Besides, if something really happened to Joe and the others, it would be too late for us to rush there now. And if they were just trapped, or couldn't come back in time for some other reason, then we wouldn't care about it." Two days. But one or two days allows us to be fully prepared."

Although he didn't want to, He Yukun still had to admit that this suggestion could be regarded as a steady move.If you want to send people to look for them, five or six people will definitely not be enough, but if there are more, you won't be able to take care of the rest.Therefore, even if this method is not the best, it cannot satisfy them who are worried about Qiao Yong and others, but it can minimize the loss as much as possible.For the current population of the team, the method that can minimize the loss is the most suitable method.Whether you like it or not, unless you can think of a better way.

However, it is almost impossible to have the best of both worlds in terms of saving people and preserving the rest, given their current strength.Suppose they decide to send more people to rescue people immediately, and then pin their hopes on luck, praying that the remaining people will not be attacked by mutated animals and plants. I am afraid that the final result may be that both sides fail. completely annihilated.

Therefore, even if they were anxious, they had to endure it.

Seeing that both sides had stopped, the silent people around couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and some even looked at Tan Xing with unkind eyes, hating him for provoking trouble.You must know that the awakened ones don't care, but the non-awakened ones are particularly afraid of the division of the team. By that time, many of them may die here.Fortunately, although there were quite a few people who were skeptical, no one showed it anymore, because it was of no benefit other than speeding up their push into desperation.Even Tan Xing and Baifeng didn't want that to happen, so they all shut their mouths and drank the soup silently.

The soup is made from blue lotus leaves.Blue lotus vine is a vine-like variation plant, because the leaves are thick and big like lotus leaves, and the color is light blue, so it got such a name.It is one of three edible mutants known to the team.But blue lotus vines are inferior to other mutated plants in terms of reproductive ability and combat ability, so it is becoming more and more difficult to see, and it may be eliminated at some point.

Xiong Hua and the others walked a four-kilometer-long road today, and only found such a vine.The vines are very long, but unfortunately the vines are too tough to digest, only the leaves can be eaten.

Several women chopped the thick leaves into shreds, boiled them until they were rotten, and each person could share a bowl.Of course, the awakened people in the team and the men who need to contribute can add an extra bowl to make some money.However, it is only a little bit more benefits.

There is no oil or salt, and even the only remaining rice was cooked yesterday. Lan Yingying's vegetable soup contains nothing but leaves, and it is bitter and astringent, which reminds people of traditional Chinese medicine before the end of the world.But that's the case, wanting to drink enough is a luxury.

Ge Ayi put a small toffee the size of a mung bean into Jian Jian's bowl, and the little girl's childish eyebrows and eyes turned into moons, as if she was eating some delicious food.Grandpa looked at his little granddaughter with a loving look in his eyes.

The child's bowl is smaller than the adult's. After finishing the vegetable soup, Jian Jian licked the bowl carefully, and then looked helplessly at Grandpa's untouched soup.

Grandpa lifted up the bowl and wanted to share some of his own with his granddaughter and Ge Ayi, but Ge Ayi stopped him.

"Don't give it." Ge Ayi's body is thin and his face is immature, he seems to be as big as Zhang Ruiyang, but his brows and eyes are full of maturity and sternness that Zhang Ruiyang doesn't have.He glared at Jian Jian, so the little girl held the bowl with her mouth flat and her body on her back.

"Ayi..." Grandpa seemed to want to say something.

"There will be something to eat when we get to Zafeng City." Ge Ayi interrupted the old man, with unnegotiable stubbornness in his eyes, "Grandpa, if you don't eat, you will die. If you die, no one will care about Jian Jian .”

Grandpa was stunned, then heaved a long sigh, nodded, and drank the already warm vegetable soup without hesitation.He knew that he was old and it was useless to live, but no matter how useless, as long as he was still alive, the two children Jian Jian and A Yi were not orphans, and when something happened, others would think of them to some extent.And once he died, the two children were really helpless.Not to mention in the current world, even before the end of the world, few people are willing to help take care of two unaccompanied children.

Ge Ayi was very diligent, for fear that others would dislike them for having a leisurely meal. After eating, he helped to collect and wash the dishes, and then moved firewood and looked after the fire, which was busier than the adults.In the end, I couldn't find anything to do, so I sat down.

"If they really leave, what shall we do?" Nan Wei sat next to the child and asked in a low voice.He was thrown down once, and he was really scared.At that time, Nan Shao was bitten by a zombie. He abandoned Nan Shao and left with the others. Then he realized that without Nan Shao, others didn't take him seriously at all, not to mention getting good food, they just wanted to get A piece of moldy bread also requires labor.This is nothing, after Bo Wei, those people kicked him out of the team.So with the incident where he met that beast in clothes, he finally knew what the real sinister heart is.If he hadn't met Nan Shao again, he doubted that he might not be alive now.

"What should I do, what should I do." Ge Ayi rolled his eyes and replied impatiently.

Huo Rui also sat down, but didn't say anything.

Compared to the two of them, Huo Rui believed in Qiao Yong more, but he was worried that something would happen to Qiao Yong and the others, and the rest of them would go their separate ways, so he was very troubled.

Ge Ayi glanced at him, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of something, and he was about to open his mouth to tease his feelings, when he suddenly saw Jian Jian squatting in the corner of the room in front of the pile of mutated plants collected by adults during the day, he couldn't help being surprised, jumped He got up and rushed over to pull her back. When he saw the little girl's swollen cheeks, he didn't even ask, and directly put his finger into her mouth to pick the things inside.

Jian Jian shook her head, shaking her little hands, but finally, because of her young age and weakness, she was forced to spit out all the things in her mouth.

"Is there something wrong, why is it uncomfortable?" Ge Ayi panicked and asked repeatedly while wiping the little girl's mouth and tongue with his sleeve.

"Brother, I'm hungry..." Jian Jian was rubbed sorely, with tears in her eyes, sobbing whether she wanted to cry or not.

The movements of Ge Ayi's hands stopped, and Grandpa walked over tremblingly holding the wall, Nan Wei and Huo Rui also followed, the other adults in the room were startled, and all of their eyes focused on the child at once. Hearing this , the air was suffocated for a moment, sadness, sadness, helplessness, and self-blame all kinds of emotions gradually permeated.

"This can't be eaten. You didn't swallow it, did you?" After a while, Ge Ayi asked again.

"Yeah. I swallowed it... I didn't swallow it." The little girl couldn't figure it out herself.

Ge Ayi's face changed slightly, and he wanted to stretch out his fingers to continue digging at her throat, so that she could spit out all the contents inside, but the little girl closed her mouth tightly, tried her best to turn her head to the side, and refused to speak.He had no choice but to look at others for help.

"Forget it." Grandpa said suddenly.

Ge Ayi looked at him in disbelief.

"There's nothing to eat." Abu's wrinkled lips trembled, and his eyes were full of sadness.There is no food at all. If the little girl spits out all the things that are not much in her stomach, how can she survive until tomorrow.Even, for a moment, he would rather she was poisoned to death like this, than live with hunger, fear and hopelessness.

The crowd was silent.

Ge Ayi didn't speak anymore, lowered his eyes, took out a piece of candy, peeled off the paper and stuffed it into Jianjian's mouth, then hugged her, away from the pile of mutated plants collected for research.

"Brother will get you something to eat tomorrow. It will fill you up." He assured the little girl, with a firmness and determination in his tone that even adults dare not show.

So, you must be fine.

-

"What is Weidong's ability?" In the early morning, Qiao Yong stood at the top of the stands of the gymnasium, looking at the situation outside through the glass wall, and asked He San who was following him.

Through He San's narration and his own temptation, he discovered a very surprising fact.

They are "free" until dark.You can walk freely in the gymnasium, go anywhere, and even walk out of the gymnasium.Instead of being trapped or caged in the competition field below as he thought yesterday.However, half people will only throw food here. If you go to other places, you will probably miss the distribution of food, so you can only starve.Perhaps it is for this reason that people would rather nest here than change to a place with a smaller space, no matter how cold it is.

"Thunder type. It's very powerful, otherwise others wouldn't be afraid of him." He San replied.When talking about supernatural powers, there was a look of envy and awe in his eyes.

"When did he come in?" Qiao Yong couldn't help but glance at Lu Jun.Lu Jun also has lightning abilities. As for who is more powerful, apart from their physical fitness and talent, it depends on what they have experienced with each other.The latter is especially important for supernatural beings.

"Let's think about it..." He San lowered his head and snapped his fingers, muttering about the date, and raised his head after a few seconds, "He is three months later than me, and within half a month after he arrived, it started to rain."

"You remember clearly." Qiao Yong was surprised, and even brought out a trace of doubt.

"Don't tell me, I really remember this clearly." He San didn't seem to feel it, and admitted very frankly, "Because on the second day after he came, he stumped several people. Later, after figuring out the situation, He sent out another power, and took the strongest people under his command and became the biggest leaders here." Another thing he didn't say was that his memory and observation skills were slightly better than ordinary people. Awakening, but these two abilities have become more prominent.It is also because of this that he can live until now.

Hearing this, Qiao Yong no longer continued to explore, but asked as he walked: "How many awakened people under his command, what abilities are they all awakened?"

Outside the gymnasium is a wide square, which is separated by lawns and green plants for passage and leisure space, but now it is all occupied by mutated plants, and only some shadows of open spaces and driveways can be vaguely found through the gaps in the branches and leaves.At the same time, under the cover of the mutated plants, it is almost impossible to see the street outside. Only from the height and direction of the various buildings on the opposite side, it can be judged that there is a three-way intersection ahead, and it is very prosperous.And prosperity means more people, more people means more zombies...

"43." He San's answer made Qiao Yong gasp.

"How come there are so many?"

"Many died, or more." He San said disapprovingly. "The people who can enter the city to collect supplies are basically those with stronger abilities in the team. It is not uncommon for ordinary people, old and weak women and children to be used as cannon fodder to find the way, but it is rare. I have only seen one here. But those people died not long after they were brought back. There are basically no weak people alive now, even those who are so weak that they can’t even walk. If you don’t pay attention, the piece of flesh you eat will be light .”

Qiao Yong stopped and looked back at the survivors who were crowded together like refugees and were still sleeping.Looking at their lazy and lifeless appearance, no matter what, there is no way to connect them with the word fierce.

At this moment, several pairs of eyes in the crowd looked at him at the same time. The vigilance and sternness in the eyes made the hair on his neck stand up suddenly, the muscles all over his body tensed instantly, and he automatically entered a fighting state.After a while, those eyes closed again after seeing him clearly, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't be nervous, as long as you don't grab their things, even if you put your eyes on their faces, no one will waste their energy to deal with you." He San smiled and said.

Qiao Yong looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect those people to be so sensitive. At the same time, he also realized that he underestimated the people here.
