"Abba, how many days before we can enter Base City? I'm so hungry, I want to eat the fragrant and fluffy rice you said. ”

On a speeding off-road vehicle in the gravel wilderness, a curled up, blue-faced child said in a weak voice.

"It's almost there, it's coming soon, you have to bear with it first, and when you enter the base city, you won't have to worry about being hungry anymore. ”

Hearing his son's words, the man who was driving a steel monster that had been modified many times and was rampaging through the wilderness licked his dry lips, and then smiled and encouraged his son.

"Abba, can we wanderers really enter Base City? Last time I heard a person from Base City call us wild dogs. ”

"Who? Who called you a wild dog?" Hearing his son's words, the man's face instantly became fierce.

He was a scavenger trying to survive on the outskirts of another base city, but half a month ago, he unexpectedly got the shocking news that the glorious base city thousands of kilometers away was expanding to recruit waste collectors.

When he learned the news, he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately led his team of scavengers thousands of miles away and began to march towards the Brilliant Base City.

The original team of nearly thirty people, after thousands of kilometers of travel, was left with him and his son, and the others all died in the middle of the road.

Whether it is their own physical fitness or the weapons they use, humans who are absolutely vulnerable in the face of wild beasts will lose their lives at any time once they get out of their comfort zone.

However, in the base city, a stable life with stable access to food has an irresistible fatal temptation for scavengers, so countless scavengers who have received the news are like moths to the flames flock to the glorious base city.

The farther away you are, the greater the risk you can bear, but the scavengers who can travel long distances to reach their destination are undoubtedly the elite of the human race.

"I forgot. Seeing his father's expression, the child sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but shrink his neck. He remembered his father's stance after he launched the attack, like a demon rising from hell.

"It's okay, Abba, I'm worried about whether we're getting that news or not, and can we really join Base City?"

"Absolutely. Seeing his son divert the subject in such a blunt way, the man narrowed his eyes, then regained his calm expression, narrating chilling words in a flat tone,

"Even if it's fake, with the scavengers gathered around Base City right now, I can make it real. ”

"Abba!" the child looked up at his father in shock.

"Haha, look at your expression, teasing you, there is a magic trick, how can an ordinary person like me turn the sky upside down?"

"Maybe the news is true. The boy shrunk his body, and as a son, he naturally knew what his father really was, and he knew what a crazy man his father was.

If the place they went to didn't meet their expectations, he couldn't imagine what his father would do, and maybe he would really bother the rest of the scavengers and attack Base City.

......

Two days later

"Abba, look, there's a plant ahead. The child got up excitedly from the driver's seat and looked at the greenery that appeared over the horizon and then gradually spread, and his mood became extremely happy.

The scene of life was completely different from the barren and dead silence he had seen these days, and he couldn't help but make him full of anticipation for his future.

Compared with the excitement of children, the expression of the man driving is much calmer, and even a little dignified.

"How can there be plants to grow in this ghost environment now?"

"Abba, what are you talking about?" the boy turned his head in confusion, he didn't hear what his father was just muttering.

"It's nothing, take the weapon I gave you, don't let your guard down, there's something wrong with this place. ”

"Oh!" the child was unusually obedient, and honestly pulled out a modified shotgun from the storage folder in front of him.

Laugh at~

The wide tires left a few heavy marks on the ground, and to humans, the off-road vehicle, like a giant beast, stopped in front of an unusually lush thorny jungle.

The man got out of the car with his child, and then looked at the thorny jungle that shone faintly in front of him, and his already serious face became more and more solemn.

"Abba, can you eat these?" The child, who grew up in the wilderness and sometimes had to feed on the sea of corpses of wild beasts, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the thorny jungle in front of him.

In a world where mass extinctions have occurred, bark and grass roots are a delicacy for those who survive.

"No, you can't. ”

"Why?" said the child, a little puzzled, "didn't you tell me that you can eat any plant?

"Whether these are plants or not, I don't know, it's the first time I've seen them since I was born. ”

"Oh. Hearing his father's words, the child lowered his head in disappointment, he knew that his father would not let him touch these things in front of him.

At this moment, a convoy of several converted and dilapidated vehicles came from a distance, stopped not far from the father and son, and the scavengers who came down from above rushed directly into the thorny jungle without even looking at them

"Hahaha, there are so many plants here, brothers, we can satisfy our hunger. ”

A somewhat thin man looked at the glowing reddish plants around him, and the excitement in his eyes could hardly be hidden, like a rat that had been hungry for a long time, suddenly breaking into a warehouse full of corn.

Soon, the man couldn't suppress the urge of his body, he pulled out a polished sword, then cut off a thorny branch that looked relatively tender, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

And after he ate this thorny branch, his companions did not follow his example, but stared closely at his body, observing his state, and few people who could survive in the wilderness were reckless.

"How's it taste?

"The taste is not very good, it is more chai, but it is much easier to chew than the wild beast meat, and the taste is quite good, sour. ”

The man who ate the thorn twig smiled and described his feelings, knowing that his teammates were using him like guinea pigs, but he didn't care. All he knew was that he was going crazy with hunger, and if he didn't eat anything, he felt like he was really going to die.

Soon the mutation occurred, and the smile of the man who had eaten the thorny branches had just froze on his face, and his eyes bulged wide, and his face showed a look of horror.

"Help me!" The man, who felt that something was growing and spreading wildly in his body, stretched out his palm to his companion for help, and he felt that his life force was frantically absorbing the foreign body in his body.

But when his companions saw him crying for help, not only did they not save him, but kept retreating, trying to get as far away from him as possible.

The man was initially angry about this, but when Jean saw a branch on his palm that was very similar to the thorn he had just swallowed piercing his skin, he understood.

"So I'm the food. The man understood his identity, and the vision blurred before him, and everything was plunged into darkness.

"Abba!" The child, who witnessed a plant devouring a human being, then burst out and take root in the dirt, turned around in fear and hugged his father's leg.

"Don't be afraid, this guy died on his own, these plants don't have the ability to actively hunt. ”

The man who witnessed the tragedy in front of him comforted his child with unusual calm.

"Gan, I knew that the world had become like this, how could there be normal plants. ”

The scavenger team that swallowed up a member didn't show much sadness, for them, dead people were just a common thing.

Just as the man began to think about what he should do next, the sound of propellers came from above his head, and then he looked up to see an armed transport plane descending overhead,

A soldier with a loaded gun jumped down from the transport plane, looked at the scavengers in front of him, and then looked at a dwarf, still clothed thorn tree in the thorny jungle, and immediately laughed,

"Tsk, another hungry unlucky bastard. ”

After sighing, the soldier looked at the scavengers in front of him, "You are all people who want to join our glorious base city, if so, come up!"

...... The man standing on the transport plane couldn't help but feel a little dazed as he looked at the rapidly passing ground below, because everything in front of him made him feel a little dreamy and a little unreal.

"All these plants were planted in your base city?" the man asked with some confusion as he looked at the earth below with almost no dirt exposed under the sky.

"Of course not, how can we have this kind of ability, these are all planted by the dragons?"

"Lord Dragon?"

"You'll know when you get to Base City. The soldiers all smiled mysteriously.

"Is this your son?" Just as the man was thinking, the soldier's gaze fell on his son.

"Hmm. ”

"To be able to grow so big in this environment seems to be in good physical condition. The soldier looked at the child, nodded, and asked him with a smile,

"Young man, do you crave power, to be able to fight the power of the beast with your fists. ”
