Chapter Eighty-Nine: Pandora
The sudden virus made two-thirds of the ordinary people in the college town sick and became demons, the reason why Guo Yili didn't encounter it when he came in, it was because these living people became demons who were more afraid of the sun, during the day, most of them would hide, in the ruins, under the snow It is difficult to find, and they will not come out until night, because it is a mutation of living people, the fat in their bodies disappears very slowly, at this time they suddenly look no different from living people, only the pair of dead fish eyes turned out can expose their identity.
After listening to Zheng Xiaoyou's story, Guo Yili's heart was cold, she could be sure that the appearance of this demon virus must have been brought by those rats, because Guo Yili rushed to the university town since the snow stopped, and met many survivors along the way, and did not hear the news about the virus, so it was certain.
The heavy snow withered the plants, the plants withered, and the rats had nothing to eat, because the university town was attracted to concentrate here, and the appearance of rats brought viruses.
There are many people in the university town and there are few demons, it should be a happy land, but it is the large number of people here that has brought them disasters, inevitably, Guo Yili thought of the more densely populated seaside, I don't know if it is also a mournful place, the last days, there is really no paradise or Eden.
Zheng Xiaoyou also heard what Guo Yili said, bowed his head and fell silent, he always thought that this was the case outside, but it turned out that disasters only appeared in university towns.
Guo Yili looked at Zheng Xiaoyou silent but didn't know how to comfort him, the survivors on the side of her words also heard it, and collectively fell silent, Guo Yili was also silent, how could she comfort her, and said, 'It's okay, sooner or later other places will be like this, it's just that the university town is the first one who is more unlucky', although this is very likely to be true, but Guo Yili can't say it.
――――――――――――――――――――――
The premature arrival of the snow became the key to opening Pandora's box, and as Guo Yili thought, the university town was just a bad luck ahead, and Guo Yili witnessed the spreading disaster outside the university town for the next two days.
As more and more animals appeared, the virus soon spread to the entire Yang City, a large number of survivors fell, a large number of demons mutated, and the density of demons in Yang City reached a terrifying point in just a few days, maybe they were just ordinary demons without any strengthening, but in the face of the absolute number, the human survivors could only continue to compress the activity space, coupled with the extreme shortage of plants and food, the hideousness of the last days was finally revealed.
From entering the university town and separating from Naniwa, Guo Yili has not had any news about Nanisu in the past three days, and no one has touched the red cloth strip that she tied to the ruins of the study hall at all, there are too many demons, plus all kinds of animals that continue to appear, Rao is Guo Yili's strength is extraordinary, and he doesn't dare to go wherever he wants like before.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the demons have more experience points and are easy to earn, but Guo Yili is not happy, each demon represents the passing of a fresh life, and the last days are really the most cruel.
Unable to find Langsu, Guo Yili and Si Zhao stayed in Zheng Xiaoyou's team, and the captain of the wind system ability named Li Gang was naturally very welcome, the university town is no longer the stable paradise of the last days, and it is good to have one more ability in the team, not to mention two more at once, Li Gang is simply laughing in his dreams.
In fact, after the heavy snow after the plants withered, there was not no food at all, those plants just withered branches and leaves, and the rhizomes were still well in the ground, some could be eaten, some were even delicious, and of course more were poisonous.
Poisonous plant rhizomes are not difficult to identify, whether it is a poisonous plant or an animal itself has the characteristics of showing its own toxicity, this is more prominent after the end of the world, all poisonous plant rhizomes have colorful colors, bright red, bright yellow, blue and so on, but all of them are obvious so that you dare not dare to say at a glance.
And then there are those animals that have finally revealed their whereabouts, whether they are mice, cats, dogs, insects, birds, different from the autonomous evolution of humans, they have more or less different changes from normal them, and some even have the same abilities and abilities as humans.
So here's the problem, unlike the demons, the demons are mutated from humans, and the monsters are animals, and human flesh can't be eaten, so what about animal meat, the meat of mutated animals is very tender and delicious, even if it is eaten raw, it will not be unpalatable, which is something that someone has personally experienced.
Of course, after all, they are mutated animals, and their meat is not absolutely safe.
Someone has two more rat teeth and a tail because he eats the meat of a mutant mouse, which makes the whole person become neither human nor mouse, but maybe the body has changed, but the person's mind has not changed, he is still a human mind, and even because of the changes in the body, he has some abilities of a mouse, such as a keen sense of smell, such as biting anything easily and without pressure.
What's even more surprising is that bestial humans are no longer afraid of the virus, and it is rumored that a person infected with the virus ate the meat of mutated animals regardless of the final confusion, and as a result, he became an orc, and then, the high temperature on his body subsided, and the virus disappeared without a trace.
Maybe the orc is no longer a pure man, but it's better than becoming a demon, at least his soul is still him.
In this way, the meat of mutated animals has become another way for ordinary survivors to obtain abilities in addition to elemental crystals, but the cost is too great, but what can be done by survivors who are hungry and infected with the virus, plant rhizomes are difficult to get underground, and animal meat is not very easy to get, as long as they don't starve to death and the spirit is still themselves, even if the orc survivors also admit it, they have more abilities after being beasts.
After seeing too much of this, no one will care, anyway, it is not 100% eating meat that will change, and some people even wish they had the ability of animals, so that they can live a little easier.
After the heavy snowfall, Yangcheng in November is announced to enter the winter, the highest temperature can be minus seven or eight degrees when the sun is good during the day, and the night is more difficult, there is no heating after the end of the world, the low temperature of minus ten degrees makes people have to huddle together to keep warm, the ruins are picked up by people over and over again, and everything that can be burned is dragged out as a material for night heating, but even so, there are still people freezing to death every day.
――――――――――――――――――――
Compared with other survivors, Guo Yili's life is not difficult, but there is no news of Langsu to make her anxious, Guo Yili is annoyed when this guy is around, and she can't wait to shake off this tail immediately, but she really doesn't see that demon, Guo Yili is worried again, this guy still owes Guo Yili thirty spars, and he won't run away from debts.
