Apocalyptic waste

At this time, Liu Xia and the others who went separately to check other places also turned around.The two of them searched the second floor of the gymnasium carefully, and found no one and a half. Only the corroded pitted walls and ceiling proved their existence.

An undefended gymnasium is like a wild animal cage with the door open. It is really difficult for new members to suppress their desire for freedom and honestly lurk and wait.

After finding out Weidong's strength, Qiao Yong gave up the idea of ​​going to the other party to get back the things, and he didn't even bother to make a gesture, because they were leaving soon, and there was no need to waste energy setting up enemies and delaying in vain time.Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable, they could still tell the difference, and no one raised any objections.

"Forget it, I'll go out with you to exercise your muscles." He San, who was planning to wait here, suddenly changed his mind.He didn't think they could run out, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to go out and see if he could get something back, such as food or clothes.

The last group of people who came in before Qiao Yong and the others was before the plant mutated. After the plant mutated, no one went out except Wei Dong took the awakened ones out and came back that day. .Because too many people died that time, at the hands of those mutated plants that had excited people who hadn't seen green for a long time.The ferocity of the mutated plants, a large number of zombies, and half-humans playing like cats and mice were enough to make them unable to think of escaping.What's more, there is still food supply every day. The portion may be insufficient, but it also makes people lose the courage to fight back.

He San is not much different from other people here. Conditions are not allowed and not wanting is actually two different things. He wants to leave very much, but his own strength and the current situation make him dare not think about it.The appearance of Qiao Yong and six people is not a surprise to everyone trapped here. From the eyes of those who came first, their ending can even be predicted: trapped, escaped, caught back again, resigned to fate, In the end, he became as numb and hopeless as everyone else here.

At the beginning, He San wanted to watch the whole process with a cold eye, treating it as a rare entertainment, with a sense of superiority from someone who had been there and an attitude of looking down that everything was expected.If you're lucky, you might even get something good.But after contacting them, feeling the long-lost firmness, he suddenly felt that he might be able to think about it.

Think about escaping from here.

Try again and look outside.

When a group of people turned up to the stands and walked out towards the audience passage, the aboriginals in the stadium all looked over with mocking expressions in their eyes.Even a few men came out of that simple wooden shed. They were tall or strong, and they didn't feel malnourished like others at all.Apparently, it was other people's hunger that fed their bellies.

Qiao Yong and the others turned their heads and looked at them from a distance, not even a simple confrontation, so they looked away.One side is thinking about their journey, while the other side is waiting for the other side to fail and finally become one of them.

From the audience lounge of the gymnasium, there is a very spacious platform. At the end of the platform is a ladder extending down to the square below.At this time, both the platform on the second floor and the wide square are occupied by dense forests of mutated plants, and traces of half-humans can be seen in them, either on the road paved with bricks and stones, or on the thick branches of mutated plants. On the vines, connecting them is a road leading to the outside.It's just that ordinary people can't walk this way.

It is not difficult for Qiao Yong and the others to carve out a path from the mutated plant forest.Of course, the premise is that you don't run into someone as perverted as the explosive tree in Ronghe County.

Ah Qing and Lu Jun were in charge of opening the way. They had a fire ability and a thunder ability, and they were very sharp as pioneers.The rest of the people followed back to back, forming a small circular formation, not only to guard against possible attacks from other directions, but also to guard against half-humans who would appear at any time.

He San followed at the end. When the Fire Dragon and Thunder Snake appeared, he was first surprised by the powerful energy contained in them and the ability to control them like his arms and fingers, and then he was overjoyed. He was deeply glad that he didn't miss it. .He has seen Weidong and his subordinates cast their abilities. In terms of control, he dare not say who is stronger and who is weaker, but the strength is much worse.This may be the difference between dogs living in the wild and wolves raised in cages.Of course, Wei Dong may be a wolf, but Qiao Yong and the others are not necessarily dogs, they may also be wolves, or even tigers, so this gap is more obvious and natural.

From time to time, in the mutated plant forest, one or two zombies could be seen stuck there. If they happened to be on the way to pass, everyone would give them an iron chisel to kill them.If it's too far away, ignore it.

Walking out about two to 300 meters without any danger, a rusty iron railing and a concrete pier with cracks and openings appeared in front of it.The railings extend to both sides, some parts are still standing upright, while some parts have been twisted and tilted by mutated vines.Outside the iron fence is still the world of mutated plants, but between the closely connected branches, leaves and vines, you can see a dead car dragon lying in it, and there are more zombies and bones.

"Could it be that there are mutated plants everywhere outside?" He San gasped and asked in disbelief.He never thought that the wide avenue outside the gymnasium would also be occupied by mutated plants.

"Almost. But before the end of the world, there will be fewer places with poor greenery." Chen Changchun, who was walking in front of him, replied, and then signaled him to keep quiet, because the zombies trapped in the vines between the branches had already begun to move. Get up, obviously found their existence.

The greenery around the gymnasium is obviously very good, and there are no survivors passing through, so the growth of mutated plants here has reached the point of wantonness, which is beyond the expectation of Qiao Yong and others, but it is exactly what they want.You must know that they are ready to face the crowds of corpses swarming on the street. There are zombies now, but they are all stuck by mutated plants, which saves them from running away in a hurry.

Ah Qing and Lu Jun stopped, and everyone exchanged briefly for a while, then Qiao Yong and Liu Xia went up to open the way, and Ah Qing and Lu Jun, who still had enough strength, rested and recovered.The group of people did not look for the main entrance anymore, but directly cleared the mutated plants around them, and then climbed over the iron fence to get out.

Because of the isolation of mutated plants, although the number and number of zombies encountered on the way increased exponentially, it did not cause trouble to them. It is a pity that they did not have tools at hand and were in a hurry, so they had to reluctantly abandon the zombies slaughtered along the road. And the crystal nuclei of mutant plants.

The process of crossing the street and entering the opposite hotel was very smooth, so smooth that He San was speechless.He still remembered that when Weidong and the others entered the mutated plant forest, people died, and more than one person died.

"The biggest weakness of plants is that they are rooted in the soil and cannot move. So no matter how ferocious it is, the threat is limited." Facing He San's surprise, Chen Changchun explained. "Of course, this is relative to supernatural beings. Ordinary people, except for the particularly powerful ones, are still powerless against them." Speaking of this, he paused, thinking of the Ronghe tree that destroyed them. The homeland they worked so hard to build, and the mutated exploding tree that almost drove them to a desperate situation, could not help but raise two sad lines on the corners of their lips, sighed lowly, and did not continue.In the face of the forces of nature, human beings are still too small after all.

He San was silent, with a dejected look on his face, because he himself was an ordinary person who was helpless in the face of mutated plants.Therefore, if he wanted to get out of here alive, he seemed to have to hug the thighs of these supernatural beings in front of him tightly.

I found some food in the hotel, and He San got some hotel staff clothes to put on. Everyone filled their stomachs first, and then brought some biscuits and the like with them. They couldn’t find the relevant map, so they could only roughly Determine a direction and continue to break through.Strangely, during the whole process, the half-humans hiding in the dark of the gymnasium did not interfere, nor did they encounter a mutant beast.

Four hours later, the surrounding mutated plants finally became sparse, but relatively, the range of activities and freedom of the zombies also increased, and their progress became more difficult, and finally they had to hide in the buildings on the side of the road. Then take another exit from the building.In this way, the forward speed not only slows down, but also adds many unknown situations.After all, they hadn't been able to figure out their bearings in the first place, and they would easily lose their way when they turned around in the building. It was even more difficult to guarantee whether a mutant beast would suddenly appear in the dark passage.Of course, the harvest is not without, at least each of them has an extra backpack full of food, and He San's clothes have finally changed from random clothes to neat and comfortable winter clothes, thick trousers and cotton boots.

The half of them never showed up, but no matter how they tried to lure them, they didn't find any trace of them. This made everyone uneasy, but also had a sense of luck.Perhaps as long as they hurry up and escape from the city before dark, they might be able to get rid of those monsters.

Although a large part of the reason for the escape this time was due to temptation, who wouldn't want to succeed if it could be successful in one go.

-

Two kilometers outside Zhafeng City, Xiong Hua and his group were driving hard.Even if they are supernatural beings, they can't stand it anymore, let alone other people.

"We're almost in the city, everyone hold on, and when we get to the city, we'll definitely let everyone have a good fucking meal!" Looking back at the old, weak, sick and disabled walking with their sloppy footsteps helping each other, Xiong Hua couldn't bear it. Zhu waved his hands to encourage him, although he didn't even believe what he said.

However, just like that, the people who were already hungry like walking corpses were refreshed, and there was a touch of life in their dead eyes.No matter how the world changes, for survivors, apart from danger, cities still represent a lot of food, warm clothes, and a place to stay.

Ge Ayi's eyes also lit up, but when he looked back at Jian Jian who was crying like a kitten dying of illness in Zhao Dong's arms, and Grandpa who was completely unable to stand being carried by Zhao Chun, his heart was once again overwhelmed. Full of despair.Can they wait until then?And can you really find something to eat when you get to the city?If it was that easy, why didn't that mustache who always loved to teach him a lesson come back?

He is not as naive as ordinary children, who believe what adults say.Last night, Jian Jian's random eating of mutated plants was like a knife in his heart. He couldn't sleep well all night. After setting off in the morning, he followed closely behind the adult who opened the way, hoping to pick up something to eat .But not to mention him, even the most capable adults didn't gain anything, their faces were green and their lips were pale with hunger, and their legs were trembling.He felt that even if they walked all the way to the city, they would not be able to find food.He didn't believe Xiong Hua's words at all, not at all.

The child's eyes began to wander to both sides of the road, and the pace that had been closely behind Xiong Hua and the others slowed down, gradually falling behind the crowd.Suddenly, he walked to the side of the road on the left, thought for a while, gritted his teeth, turned over and climbed over the guardrail, then spread his legs and rushed down into the mutated plant forest.

Two or three hundred meters away from the road, in the dense mutated plant forest, the broken roofs and broken walls of several houses can be vaguely seen.He thought he might find something to eat there.As for the danger of mutated plants, he couldn't care less about it at this time.

"Fuck! Little bastard, you're tired of working!" A hand suddenly reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him back.It was Liang Guanlun who discovered his abnormal behavior and acted in time to prevent his near-suicidal behavior.

"Let go of me, bastard! You fucking let me go, mind your own business, or I'll never end with you bastard..." Ge Ayi was disrupted by someone, anxious and angry, kicking his legs and waving his claws Struggling, while yelling, he didn't forget to spit.

"Damn, what a nasty brat, not as cute as Xiao Yangyang at all." Liang Guanlun was unprepared, spit all over his face, very depressed.He raised his sleeve and wiped his face, then unceremoniously turned the child over on his lap, and beat him hard.

After being spanked on the buttocks, the child who was still very combative suddenly lost his voice. He obviously realized the huge gap in strength between the two of them, and felt that he had lost face, so he acted wisely and honestly, but he had scolded all eight generations of Liang Guanlun's ancestors in his heart. Repeatedly, and vowed to avenge this great revenge in the future.

"That's good." Liang Guanlun saw that the little guy stopped messing around, so he stopped. His strength is also limited, so it can't be wasted.It's just that when he let go of Ge Ayi, he still snapped a few words: "Don't run around, if you are caught by a mutant plant, you will be turned into fertilizer, do you know that?" These words are really not to scare children.

Ge Ayi made a face at him and ran away.Grandpa looked at the child and just sighed, but he didn't have the energy to speak.The others were also silent. Hunger and cold made their emotions apathetic. Now that someone was in charge, they naturally didn't need to say more, not to mention that this swearing-mouthed child was not likable at all.

However, not long after, when everyone was not paying attention, Ge Ayi got out of the team again like a little mouse and slipped down the road.His childhood experience taught him that if he wanted something, he had to find a way to get it himself, and it was not acceptable to pin his hopes on others.As for the danger, wasn't it dangerous when he survived in the county with Grandpa and Jian Jian?

"Wen Bin, Kunzi, take him to look for it." Looking at the child who was brought back for the second time, Xiong Hua felt helpless, thinking that if the child's wish was not fulfilled, there would probably be a third and fourth time. Who can have the energy to notice every time?So they called Wen Bin over and said.Of course, he also had a little hope in his heart, what if he could find something to eat in those houses.

Wen Bin and He Yukun both have earth-type supernatural powers. They are average in cleaning up mutant plants, but they have strong defensive capabilities. Going back and forth is no problem.Of course, there is also a premise here, that is, almost everyone has seen the mutated plants from the road down to the broken houses, and they have almost touched their habits and so on. They know how to deal with them, otherwise Xionghua will not Let them take the risk.

"Now you should give up." He took the children and searched all the houses, but naturally found nothing. He Yukun's tone was not very good to Ge Ayi who was looking at the back of the house from the window explain.It is impossible to say that there is no resentment. For them who have no food, it is a waste to do one more unnecessary action, let alone doing such a pointless thing.How could there be anything left for them in the house on the side of the road?

Ge Ayi didn't answer, and still stood there unwillingly knocking on the window, looking around.Just when Wen Bin frowned and wanted to forcefully take the child away, he suddenly said ah.

"That... Come and see! That is edible!" Ge Ayi pointed out the window, his eyes were shining, and his voice was trembling.

Wen Bin and He Yukun glanced at each other, suspecting that the child was lying to them, but walked over involuntarily, and just swore secretly that if the little bastard dared to lie to them, he would give him a hard spanking like Liang Guanlun.

But the fact is that when they saw something outside the window, they almost went crazy with joy after being shocked.

beauty hair!What a big beauty hair!

Beauty hair is another edible mutant plant they know.The height of the plant is half a person, the stem is thick and thick, covered with black scars, and the slender red leaves like leeks grow from the top. Covered, from a distance, it looks like a head with loose red hair stuck there, so it has such a name.

Beauty hair has strong fecundity, and often grows into a large piece. The slender leaves are sharp, tough and sensitive, and can catch all living things that approach, and then crush them into minced meat and turn them into nourishment.But when you cut open the ugly black scars on its thick stems, you can find palm-sized taupe lumps, which store rich nutrition, not only edible, but also very tasty.Among the three edible mutant plants known to the Ronghe team, only this one can provide energy and give people a wonderful sense of satisfaction from eating, rather than swallowing pig food or poison.

One beauty hair can dig out five or six nutrient blocks, and there are hundreds of them in front of you. If you harvest them all, it will be enough to solve the urgent needs of the team.

The news spread quickly on the road, everyone was dumbfounded, and then they almost scrambled and ran down, not even caring about dropping their shoes.

They never imagined that a helpless unplanned action would have such an unexpected harvest.That's all for food. For them who have run out of food, it's like a big piece of pie falling from the sky.Everyone was overjoyed. A few ordinary women who hadn't awakened their abilities even wept with joy when they saw the beauty's hair. Some even knelt down on the snow, bent down and kissed the cold snow, and murmured thanks God.At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten that it was the unpredictable God who caused their current difficult situation.Ge Ayi, who was boring and helpless before, suddenly became the most popular person. Everyone would smile and reach out to touch his head when they saw him. He who always hated such behavior from adults did not Focus on paying attention to this detail, and have fun there, while urging to quickly dig out the beauty's hair.

it is necessary.

The cleaning of the road stopped, only two people were left to pay attention to the situation on the road and the surroundings, and the others began to hurry up to harvest beautiful hair.Of course, the main force is still the supernatural beings, and the others are helping to cut open the tumor and dig out the nutrient blocks inside.It's just that for non-awakened people, it is very difficult to dig out the scars, and often a few cuts can barely leave a little mark on the rough stem bark.But anyway, it's better than just standing there and doing nothing.

The big guys were busy working with unprecedented enthusiasm, and Zou Zhe, who was on guard on the roof, suddenly ran over quickly.

"Someone is coming." He was speed mutated, and he was in front of him in just a moment, and said in a low voice.Because he was worried about being discovered, he left Bai Xi on top to continue monitoring the situation on the road, and he himself ran down to notify everyone, instead of using sound or other methods to warn from afar.

The busy people suddenly quieted down, with nervous expressions on their faces.If they had met other survivors before, they might have been very happy, but now... Seeing that most of the unharvested beauty hair is still in front of them, they can't help feeling a little worried, what if the other party robs them?

"Could it be Old Qiao and the others?" Xiong Hua asked with a glimmer of hope.

Zou Zhe shook his head, "Probably not, Bai Xi heard that there are at least five cars, and the other party's efficiency in cleaning up mutant plants is very high." In their thinking, Qiao Yong and others can get a car and enough gasoline. It was a stroke of luck, five cars is simply unrealistic.It's not that it's hard to find a car, it's mainly because of the gasoline problem. Given their current number of people, it's most appropriate to get a bus.He believed that Qiao Yong also understood this.

Xiong Hua's expression changed, he glanced at the other people who came later, and said decisively: "Take these all in the house, and everyone goes to the front." Discovering this piece of beauty hair, you must know that this is a life-saving thing for their team.

Probably because of the fear of hunger, the people in the team became very protective of food. Before Xiong Hua's voice fell, everyone was hugging and hugging at lightning speed, and the plant stems thicker than an elephant's leg on the ground Qian moved it into the dilapidated house in front, and then wiped away all possible suspicious traces leading to the back of the house, and completely disappeared the previous weakness.

"It's eight cars...Damn, there are five armored cars, two off-road cars, and one RV." The news came from Bai Xi from the top of the building, and at the same time extinguished the last hope in their hearts.It can't be Qiao Yong and the others.

Just when everyone was disappointed and worried, and Xiong Hua and the others were even discussing whether to contact each other, Bai Xi's slightly nervous voice came again: "Attention everyone, they are coming this way."

It seems that it cannot be avoided, so it is better to take the initiative.Xiong Hua and the others stopped hesitating and walked outside, leaving only the old and the weak in the house.However, as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Bai Xi from upstairs, and then suddenly shouted out in surprise: "It's Nan Shao, Zhang Yi, and Brother Shi San!"

Hearing these names, the apprehensive people were stunned, then exploded in an instant, and ran towards the road with their legs free.Only those who joined later were still at a loss. They didn't know what these three names meant to them, but they could feel that they were not enemies, so they followed curiously.

As soon as the two parties met, they didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, Xiong Hua opened his mouth and said, "Old Qiao and the others are gone."
