Chapter 24: The Lady with a Sigh (60)
I stopped chasing the little girl, took a few steps back in the air, and landed on the ground. brushed the hair on his head, smiled at her and asked, "What, do you think I only have such a little ability?"
Seeing that I had stopped, the little girl looked at me and asked lightly, "What's the matter, am I wrong?" Sister? Or rather, what can you do with these bows and arrows of yours? But sister, I am very powerful, and you have no way to hurt me like this. ”
I smiled coldly, and waved my hand in front of her, and a dozen beast-like skeletons appeared beside me. When the little girl found out about this, she immediately screamed angrily: "Ahh It's so infuriating, I really hate it!"
I smiled lazily and replied lightly, "How can I tell you, so let me ask you a question, do you know what an undead is?"
At this time, I was still asking her questions, which made the little girl very impatient. "What the hell do I care about you, what do you have to do with me, what do you have to do with these nasty things?"
I smiled coldly and said, "You don't even know what an undead is, and you're embarrassed to think that I only have a little ability, haha!" In an instant, my two short crossbows were aimed at her at this time, and when she was stunned, dozens of crossbow arrows were already shooting towards her head.
Seeing dozens of arrows rushing towards her forehead in a row, it was probably the last scene this little girl-like zombie had ever seen in her life. This opportunity is also an unexpected situation for me, and if I don't want to be entangled with this annoying little girl like this anymore, the best way is to use this opportunity to completely solve this annoying little girl.
With a few slight sounds, the little girl's body flew backwards backwards for dozens of meters due to the continuous shooting of my arrows. The forehead also exploded because it was shot by dozens of arrows in a row. This is the final end of this little girl.
"Fool. I flew up to the little girl's body, sighed at her, and said, "You're still too young to even know what an undead is." This world is actually the world of the dead, although the living like you may have billions in a short period of time, but the dead will always be dozens of times more than you. As long as there are the dead, then I can summon an infinite number of skeletons. However, skeletons are not the only thing I am good at, I am one of the two best archers in my world. Alas, poor little girl. “
I knew she was never going to hear that again. After getting rid of her, I looked at the sky, it wasn't too early. I almost forgot what I wanted to do. Food, food, the most important thing I have to do when I come out this time is not to check the characteristics of these zombies, but to find food, and to find out whether the flying magician that Shen Lin said is Viren, this is the most important thing for me. But I have wasted half a day in front of this little girl zombie, but there is not much time left for this agreement with Shen Lin.
Food, food, most importantly. Why didn't I find out where Shen Lin had found the food before leaving? I floated into the air, looking around from a high vantage point, but I was a little disappointed, at least as far as I could see, I didn't find any human settlements. If that's the case, it's going to take some time for me to find food. But if I really didn't go back before dark, who knows what Shen Lin would have done?
Shen Lin is a chaste martyr. No, I don't know if she's chaste or not, but judging from her character, she is 100% a fierce woman. So, what she said, I had to believe.
What does an ordinary woman of a race that has perished to me have anything to do with me? No, not at all. But for some reason, I never wanted her to die like this. Besides, if she really died, then it was because of me. If that's the case, I'm really feeling a little uncomfortable.
No, you can't just go on like that. I have to find food for Shen Lin. I roughly calculated the direction in which I would come out, and flew towards my right-hand side. Hopefully, there will be the ruins of a human settlement. As for the settlement, there must be none, but if there is no mistake in what Shen Lin described, then the ruins of the settlement can still be found casually. Well, I hope so. However, if I really can't find food, then I'll have to go back anyway.
After more than ten minutes of continuous flight, I finally found the ruins of a village. It can be seen that the ruins are not too big, and before this disaster happened, it was probably only a small village for a few dozen people.
It seems that the people of this village were either eaten or emigrated to other places in the early days of the disaster. Later, after more than ten years of wind and rain, this village gradually became a dilapidated ruin that even zombies did not want to approach.
Seeing such a sight, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Is there any food in such ruins, and even if there is, it will be preempted by other survivors. At this time, I realized why humanity in this era is perishing.
According to what Shen Lin said and my brief understanding of this world, I found that humans in this era are omnivores, just like humans hundreds of thousands of years later. That is, they can either eat a variety of plant-based dry foods or live by eating a variety of meats. But with the outbreak of the disaster, many people have no way to feed themselves, so what is left to feed the livestock? Even if you live in a relatively safe settlement, there is no way to hold on to how many times the food is ripe.
So, there is not just one reason for the extinction of humanity in this era, but at least two. The first is that there are more and more zombies, and there are fewer and fewer humans themselves. Why is that? It's not that humans either become zombies or are eaten by zombies. And in turbulent times, humans simply did not have the experience to reproduce and mate. Even if there is, the amount produced is not enough to consume, which is the first cause of the extinction of mankind.
And another reason, of course, is food. Any life needs food to consume, and without food, no matter how powerful an existence is, there is no way to last long. Without food, these humans would not have been able to make ends meet, and would not have enough food to thrive.
However, it was these two fatal causes that caused the extinction of humanity in this era. Regardless of whether there are other reasons or not, these two reasons are the most deadly. Alas, poor human beings. No matter what era it is, human beings are all the same pitiful.
Huh, how did I remember this? I quickly shook my head, removing the clutter of thoughts from my head. Then, I slowly landed on the ground and began to search the place carefully. The village is very small, with only five or six low thatched huts and a two-story house. Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but sigh softly, is this the whole picture of this world?
Although the two-story building was a little ugly compared to the thatched houses, I did not choose to target the two-story building, but opened the door to one of the bungalows. However, the situation in front of me disappointed me. There is no food here. I thought it was possible that the other survivors would pay attention to it when they saw that it was a thatched hut and that there was a building nearby, but in fact it proved me wrong.
Whether it's a thatched house or a building, after more than ten years of washing, what kind of food is there there? Even if there is food, it must have exceeded its expiration date. If they eat this food, not only will these humans not be full, but they may even get food poisoning from it. In this apocalyptic age, any minor ailment can kill someone, after all, there is no medicine here. Sickness is equivalent to death.
At this time, I really regretted why I ate that piece of meat before. Obviously, I didn't need to eat any food, but in order to prove to Shen Lin that I was capable of helping her find food, I actually ate the meat that might be Shen Lin's last bit of food for a moment of brain fever. At this moment, I felt very regretful.
By this time, the sky was gradually setting to the west. Night, it's coming. Thinking of what Shen Lin said to me before, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Who knows if Shen Lin's stupid woman will really see me die without going back. If this makes a human die, it's not what I did. In this way, I don't have any extra time to think about how to find food, even if I look for food, it will be after I see Shen Lin again.
Because I remembered the directions in advance, and I didn't think about having any fun for myself when I returned. So I flew back at three times the speed I had come. And flying so fast and for such a long time has already reached the limit of my ability. You know, I can't fly, all I did was glide through the air. After all, I'm not that kid from Viren, and I can use magic to levitate myself in the air.
Fortunately, when the sun was about to set, I finally returned to the vicinity of the cave where Shen Lin was hidden. It's just that the situation is a bit complicated. Because I don't know when, this place is already crowded with zombies, and near the cave door at the entrance of that cave, there are still dozens of zombies who want to open the cave door! If it weren't for the fact that the zombies' bodies were no longer able to easily grab things like when they were humans, and Shen Lin's desperate resistance in the cave, I'm afraid Shen Lin would have already become food for these zombies.
Without any hesitation, I shot hundreds of arrows into the ground in mid-air. It was the first time I had shot so many arrows at once. After all, it will take a lot of time to complete this attack if you want to do so. If it was on the battlefield, I'm afraid that I would have died countless times for so much time, but this is the world of zombies, and most of the zombies here are the kind of zombies who only know how to eat meat and drink blood, and they don't have any awareness of me who is still in mid-air. So I can use such a killing move unscrupulously, and such a killing move is really effective, as the arrows are shot out, there is no longer a single zombie within a range of more than ten meters near the center of the cave.
At this time, I slowly fell, came to the side of the cave, knocked lightly on the wooden door of the cave, and said softly to Shen Lin on the other side: "It's me, I'm back." ”
The door of the cave opened in an instant, revealing Shen Lin's panicked face. When she saw that it was me, she opened the door of the cave and let me in. When I returned to the cave, Shen Lin hurriedly closed the door of the cave and sat on the ground trembling.
"Okay, it's okay. I looked at Shen Lin on the ground, pretended to be casual and said to her, "I said that I would come back." However, although I found a settlement, I didn't find any food. I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Shen Lin, who was already trembling, scrambled to calm down and said, "I expected it, after all, so much time has passed. Now I guess only that last base still has food to supply, and it is only natural that you can't find food. By the way, did you find that amazing magician?
"Well, no. I sighed and said, "I don't have that much time, and if I come back a little later, I'm afraid you'll be... ”
"I'm fine, really. Shen Lin looked at me and showed a pale smile: "If I died so easily, then I would have died a long time ago." The absence of food is to be expected, but it is a surprise that you will be able to come back ... I just wanted to see if you came back, but I didn't expect to be injured by the mountain rock, and then those zombies came over smelling blood. ”
I see, I sighed, this Shen Lin is really a fierce girl.
