Chapter 403: Change
When food is scarce, even the most tame species are forced to kill each other, just to survive.
The gray-eyed zombie gradually transformed into a scarlet-pupil zombie, which was an accident at first, and then became inevitable. They zombies have a low IQ, and they rely on instinct, the simple instinct to eat and live. Originally, they were also turned into zombies, but they ate people. Then there is nothing good or evil in them eating their own kind.
Why is it so disgusted?
From the beginning of unacceptable, unwilling to eat zombies, but later developed a disgust for scarlet pupil zombies that devoured the same kind.
How should it face it?
It hadn't eaten in a long time. There are fewer and fewer of its men. It did something wrong a few years ago, and it didn't realize what was wrong with doing that. The little meow it loved became so big that it had red pupils. On the one hand, it was a little stunned, and on the other hand, it still did not lose its attention to the little ...... It's already a big black cat's favorite. So, it sent some of its men to feed it.
That prompted some of the high-ranking subordinates who still insisted on not eating their companions to give up their insistence and start eating their companions with scarlet pupils. They didn't resent Luo Xiao'an, they just realized that they didn't want to be eaten, so they could only be the ones who ate them.
As a result, more and more people give up and hold on. The lower the IQ, the more instinctive it is to live. The higher the IQ, the more clearly you can see the path you should choose to live. Whether it was instinct or reason, the zombies had to start devouring their own kind.
It understands, but it is. Why is it getting more and more disgusting?
It hadn't eaten in a long time. The same is true of its men. They are all getting weaker and weaker. Its mother's men became more and more unable to hold back and attack its men. Its mother kept persuading it and forcing it to eat the same kind, for its own good, so that it could live.
Will you die if you don't eat it?
So far. There is no precedent for zombies starving to death. If they don't eat for too long, they will only get weaker and weaker, their limbs will become more and more stiff, and their minds will become more and more stupid if they are not smart enough.
Lately, however, it has felt like its mind is in a mess. It's not a mess because you're hungry and stupid. Rather, it seems, something seemed to have been stuck in its head, and now it suddenly disappeared. It suddenly understood more, more...... There are too many, too many things to understand at once, and the result is difficult to sort out at once. The director was very confused in his head.
Die?
It suddenly understood the meaning of death.
Zombies eat living people or live animals, and those people and animals die. Scarlet-pupiled zombies eat zombies with gray pupils, and those zombies with gray pupils die. In order not to be eaten, people, animals, and zombies will resist. Sometimes they have the ability to kill threats who want to eat them. It doesn't have to be eaten. As long as you kill it, you die.
If you die, you won't move anymore. If it is only injured, in the case of itself, no matter how seriously injured, as long as it replenishes enough energy, that is, by eating, it can recover. But dead. For zombies, it's a blow to their heads, and they can't recover. Dead. will be motionless, and will no longer be able to speak. Never to move or speak again.
Although it does not understand better, does not understand the fear of death, but it understands sorrow. It began to hate killing. No, it doesn't know the word killing yet, it just doesn't want to eat it anymore, kill it again, and let more people, animals, and zombies die.
It fled with less than twenty gray-pupiled zombies who were still holding on. It fled far away from its mother, and its mother's men. This time it was not a temporary separation, but a one-sided escape. It knew its mother was looking for it, but it kept hiding, unwilling to see each other again.
It doesn't know how to face it. It's also struggling.
It is not afraid of death, but it also hates death. Just as it hates other people, animals, and zombies to die, it won't let itself die. The opposite of dead is to live. And in order to survive, does it really have to choose to turn scarlet pupils? Become a self-disgusting being. It...... I can't accept it.
Does it hate it? It's hard to dislike it. But every time it watched its mother devour the zombies with gray and white pupils, and couldn't find the zombies with gray and white pupils to eat, its mother would attack the zombies with the same scarlet pupils when she was hungry. When it looks at it, it subconsciously frowns tightly. Because of the intimacy, there is no disgust, but there is still an inevitable estrangement. It felt like it was getting farther and farther away from its mother. Even when they stand face to face, they are increasingly unable to understand each other.
It couldn't understand why its mother could eat and kill any other people, animals, or zombies without hesitation just to survive for herself. Its mother couldn't understand why it would rather be hungry than eat so much food that was within reach of Ming Ming.
It's within reach.
Perhaps, it's right.
Luo Xiaoan can't describe it in words, he doesn't have a tangible idea, but it has faintly produced this concept. It is the mother who is really suitable for living in this last world, and the one who has brought the law of the jungle to the extreme, the strongest of the cunning.
And it.
Luo Xiaoan recalled what she used to eat with the black boy and the black boy. It managed to find some with his men. Seven years have passed since the end of the world, and it is conceivable that the food that survived before the end of the world is even better......
Zombies don't know what rotten food is, and can't eat it.
It has to be said that human beings underestimate preservatives too much before the end of the world. In fact, after the expiration date of n years, many canned foods with a shelf life of one year, two years, or up to three years are actually just a little dry, petrified, and sour, and can barely be eaten?
Luo Xiaoan tried to eat the food that the black boy ate. It found that it was not impossible to survive by eating these. It's just that it's going to be hard. There is very little, very little, too little energy to be obtained from these foods. Zombies really don't have a bad stomach and food poisoning. All they care about is getting too little energy and still being hungry. And the point is, these foods are also very difficult to find.
Actually, it's not the zombies with gray eyes that only these are left. When Luo Xiaoan fled from his mother, he took away even more of his gray pupils. Flee all the way. Along the way, other gray-eyed zombies were also found. It's just that in the end, I didn't give up and insist, or insisted on following it all the time. Those who chose to go in search of food that was difficult to find and could not eat enough, only these ten or twenty remained.
At the beginning, these dozen or twenty subordinates were also different from Luo Xiaoan. Luo Xiaoan was the first to accept those foods. They are reluctant to eat at first. Because they can't smell food, they don't know that these are food. Anyway, they ate it too.
In addition to eating these, Luo Xiaoan didn't eat them himself, and he didn't stop these subordinates from eating the insects born from rotten food.
Those rotten foods. It's rotten black scum. Even those who eat rotten things, and the worms that grow out of these rotten foods, do not eat these rotten foods. Luo Xiaoan could also tell that these were no longer food. Unable to provide any energy. And these insects, Luo Xiao'an himself felt disgusted, but for his subordinates who couldn't eat enough, they were more tempting than those barely edible food.
Luo Xiaoan hates death, but strangely. I don't feel pity for the lives of these bugs. It doesn't know why it treats bugs differently. Isn't the life of a bug a life? Anyway, it just doesn't care about the death of bugs.
It's not so stubborn either. If only it could find some dead bodies. Human, animal, zombie, it didn't feel anything wrong with eating it. It's a pity, what zombie is still full of food and will have leftovers? It and its men have never been picked up on the street.
At the same time, it is also tangled. It's not a dead corpse, it will eat it. For example, in order to force it to eat, its mother has long known to kill it first and then throw the corpse to it. Those who are deliberately killed in order to feed it cannot be considered dead in the first place. I don't understand what the concept of stealing is. It hates it.
Well, the corpses of people and animals have never been picked up, in fact, the corpses of zombies have been encountered. Corpses. Now the number of gray-pupiled zombies is not rare. Plus the Scarlet Pupil Zombie even eats the Crimson Pupil Zombie. And some of the scarlet pupil zombies are high enough to become a little picky like their mothers. It's a mother who likes to eat brains. It seems that a lot of people love to eat brains. There are also some who like to eat heart or other internal organs, and the most bizarre thing is that some people don't eat anything and like to drink.
The blood of zombies is viscous. Those who like to drink blood do not easily drink sticky blood. They need to scratch through the corpses one by one, leaving them in a mess, and licking the blood from the exposed flesh with their tongues. Gradually, the tongue of this plasma-loving zombie mutated. Later, they no longer had to torture corpses so frantically. With a single opening, they were able to stick their slender tongues in and scavenge the corpse's plasma.
This move, Luo Xiao'an can understand the mystery best. Don't forget, at the beginning of the last days, this thing was a blood-drinker with a long tongue. There were so many people living on the streets at that time. It and its mother live a luxurious life. His mother wasn't a picky eater back then. It was actually the first picky eater and liked to drink blood. But the blood of the living was easily drunk at that time. You drill a hole in his heart, and the column of blood can spurt high. Although it has a long tongue, it doesn't need to stick its tongue in and lick the blood. Just take a big gulp of your mouth to the flesh.
Recalling the delicacy of the blood of the living at the beginning, Luo Xiaoan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
It still loves to eat living things. If there was a living person in front of it now, it might not hesitate to pounce. It's a little resistant, it's eaten so much, it's already feeling guilty, but the attraction of the living to it is still so great.
After all, it's still a zombie.
Why would a zombie resist cannibalism?
More and more intelligent, sight, hearing, smell, all the perceptual abilities are becoming clearer and clearer. It even retrieved human language. It found that zombies and humans looked alike, and it found that only their smell was different. Humans smell so good. Zombie......
Luo Xiaoan sniffed sharply, first smelling the smell on his body and the smell of several subordinates beside him. It stinks! Luo Xiaoan immediately frowned in disgust. The smell of their zombies stinks.
It hadn't been found before. But since it's ...... To this day, it has been eating canned food for a long time. Gradually, it began to smell the stench of the zombies, and the smell became more and more pronounced. All zombies smell stinky, including itself. It hates the smell of itself.
Don't talk about this, Luo Xiaoan frowned, and sniffed carefully. Faintly, it seemed to smell a nice smell. It's so fragrant, it smells so good compared to the smell of zombies. It smells like food, but it smells better than food. Is it people?!
No, it doesn't seem to be human?
It hadn't smelled a living person in a long time. But in my memory, the smell of living people is not so good.
Luo Xiaoan unconsciously followed the good smell. The subordinates next to it didn't seem to smell the smell, they just glanced at Luo Xiao'an blankly, a few continued to eat the earthworms dug up from the ground, and a few wanted to follow Luo Xiao'an. Somehow, Luo Xiaoan was reluctant to let them follow, and he hadn't issued such a strong deterrent for a long time, ordering them to stay where they were.
The men immediately and honestly froze in place. Luo Xiaoan continued to approach in the direction of the good smell alone.
That's right. It has been more than seven years since the end times. Today's cities are becoming more and more dilapidated, and the roads are torn apart by the drastic winter cold and summer warmth. The first was the grass, which took root and sprouted in every inch of the city and the dust on the buildings with its tenacious vitality. Later, more plants, flowers, grasses, and trees gradually broke through the soil in the streets and alleys of the city, on every inch of exposed loess.
Needless to say, the walls of many buildings are covered with vines. On the top floors of many buildings, seven years of fly ash have fallen, and there is also a thin layer of dust, and there are actually trees growing on the top floors of buildings.
Generally speaking, the city is gradually, and in another ten or twenty years, it may completely turn back into forests and grasslands. Now it has a prototype.
The pre-apocalyptic city in the capital was too large and had too little greenery, so it had developed relatively slowly. Shenghui has always had people active, and the building materials are good, so it is relatively well maintained.
Beyond the Glory. The roads in the capital can still be used for sports cars, but the asphalt roads are dilapidated and have a lot of weeds. Occasionally, in the middle of the road, there will be a small tree that grows newly. Many buildings have vines on them, but not every building is covered with vines. Occasionally there are one or two buildings on the top floor, and there may have been a garden on the top floor, so the top floor of those buildings is also green. (To be continued.) )
