The weather in July is so hot and humid that it is unbearable, even in the north, and it is good to have air conditioning, but at this time the residents of the city do not enjoy such comfort.

Maybe it's not just the residents of the city.

The accident occurred on the last day of June, when heavy rain finally fell after days of dark clouds, but the ensuing shaking of the earth terrified the hearts of those who were enjoying the coolness of the rain.

The city of Yangyang is not in the earthquake zone, so residents who have no experience in dealing with earthquakes began to flee in a panic, and Guo Yili is the same, she skipped class that day to avoid the rain in a rental house, and when the earth shook, she began to flee for her life with the flow of people.

The earthquake did not last long, only about 20 seconds, but the damage caused by these 20 seconds is indeed irreversible, a large number of residential buildings in Guo Yili's community collapsed, and when the shaking stopped, the devastation accompanied by people's hysterical cries was terrifying.

This was not the end of the tribulation, and in the following few days the inhabitants underwent a transformation from a peaceful inhabitant to a bitter lord of the last days.

First there was a long wait for help, and then there was a triple shortage of drinking water, food and medicine, the first two were okay, rummaging through the rubble always yielded something, and the lack of medical care was the most fatal for the residents injured in the earthquake.

After the heavy rain, the weather is not cool but more humid and hot, the wound is infected and suppurated without medicine, people die every day from the wound that is not fatal, the body can only be thrown into the crack caused by the earthquake and buried with rubble under the inability to deal with it, as for those who are buried under the rubble and have not died, manpower is limited, and people are really powerless before the rescue comes.

Rescue will not come!

After waiting for more than ten days, the news spread more and more fiercely among the survivors, although the earthquake interrupted the communication, but there are always people with great powers, the first time someone said that the whole world had an earthquake, the ridicule came one after another, but when more and more people said this, the people who laughed couldn't laugh, especially when the demon appeared for the first time a few days ago.

Demons, skinny, stiff and irrational man-eating monsters, some people say that demons are resurrected corpses, some people say that demons are injured people who are infected by unknown viruses, in short, people are panicking, especially when demons appear more and more.

On July 27, nearly a month after the earthquake, there was still no news of the government's rescue, food was scarce, and there was little clean drinking water left.

Chaoyang Community is the name of the community rented by Guo Yili, nearly a month after the catastrophe, there are less than 300 residents still active here, and the others are either demons or corpses, and all those who are a little brave have fled in the direction of the city center.

Guo Yili also wanted to go, and heard that there was a shelter set up by the city government, which must be much better than the shelter spontaneously formed by the people around her, but unfortunately she couldn't leave, because during the earthquake, her roommate was injured, and it hurt her foot.

"Yili, you're back."

Community carport, this simple steel-framed wooden slab house is now a shelter for the survivors of No. 20 or 30 nearby, knocking on the nailed sturdy iron door Guo Yili looked up and saw a bright smiling face, with anger on his tired face, Guo Yili went up to help the crumbling girl.

"Kiki, what are you running around, your legs don't hurt anymore, don't you?"

The girl's name is Deng Qi, Guo Yili's classmate and roommate are a cheerful short-haired beauty, and the soles of her feet were accidentally stabbed by broken glass during the earthquake.

"It's okay, hiss...."Deng Qi's strong words were not finished and he inhaled directly because of the pain of the wound, Guo Yili helplessly helped her back to the corner where they belonged, and sat on the ground with only a layer of quilt, Guo Yili grabbed Deng Qi's feet and carefully removed the strip of cloth that had been infiltrated by pus.

"Shhhh

Deng Qi's tears of pain were watering, and her body couldn't stop trembling, Guo Yili pursed her lips and finally ripped off the last piece of tightest cloth, pus flowed out, and the already not very good smell in the carport suddenly smelled a little worse.

At this time, there were many people in the carport who were busy with their own work, and the strong smell of wound suppuration did not make them look at it, they were all used to it, and many people had big or small wounds, all of which had the same smell, and no one could dislike anyone.

Deng Qi's wound worsened again.

Guo Yili's brows were furrowed, it was originally only a few centimeters long, and the swelling valgus occupied almost the entire soles of his feet at this time, exuding a strong rancid smell, this is not a good taste, if there is no medicine Deng Qi's feet will be wasted.

With an imperceptible sigh, Guo Yili took off the backpack on her back and took out a bottle of mineral water from it, which she turned out of the ruins today, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and put in a little salt first, and then carefully helped Deng Qi clean up the wound.

Compared with tearing the strip of cloth, washing the wound with salt water can be too painful, Deng Qi bit his lip in pain, his already pale face was as pale as paper, sweat was like rain, and finally he couldn't hold back his crying.

Guo Yili wanted to cry when she cried, but now is not the time to cry, after using half a bottle of water to clean up the pus, Guo Yili found the clean cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, and seriously helped Deng Qi tie up the wound, because of the pain, Deng Qi was already crying and almost out of breath.

"Alright, Kiki, wrap up, don't cry, it's okay."

After enduring the tears for a long time, Guo Yili's heart was also at a loss, the city has changed too much in just one month, full of devastation monsters, Guo Yili is only twenty years old, if it weren't for the divorce of his parents since he was a child, Guo Yili at this time would not be so strong.

I don't know what happened to them.

Guo Yili's mouth of them are naturally her irresponsible parents, in the second year of junior high school, her parents divorced, her mother left home without looking back, and she has not been heard from since, her father is busy with work Since then, Guo Yili has taken care of herself, and in her sophomore year of high school, her father also left home and went to another city, saying that she was busy with work, but Guo Yili knew that there was a woman who tied her father, and there was another existence that she should call her younger brother.

Forget it, they don't want to do what they want to do on their own.

Guo Yili cleaned up her mood, first helped the painful Deng Qi to lie down, and she began to sort out the harvest of going out this time.

Since a demon appeared to go out to find food, it is no longer so safe, and he can always hear the news that he was eaten by the demon, fortunately Guo Yili has not been attacked, only seen the swaying figure of the demon from a distance, the rickety back is almost the body of a dry corpse, Guo Yili will never forget the gray and lifeless eyes of the demon when he looks back, it is terrible.

The threat of the demon made Guo Yili dare not go far at all, but fortunately, he was lucky today, in addition to a few bottles of mineral water that were not damaged, Guo Yili also found a lot of instant noodles and vacuum food.

This is a rare harvest, it is not good to treasure in the ruins, it is normal to have no harvest for a day, and Guo Yili has also tasted hunger and hardship in the month after the disaster.

Of course, it is certain that wealth is not exposed, and not all good people are in the carport.

From the moment Guo Yili came in, there were a lot of flashing eyes in the carport, to be precise, looking at the backpack on Guo Yili's body, Guo Yili pretended not to see it calmly turned the backpack upside down, and a bottle of unopened mineral water and a few bags of instant noodles fell down.

Throwing the backpack aside casually, Guo Yili took a bowl of instant noodles with his hands and feet, only soaked one bowl, and the drinking water was limited, and Deng Qi was a wounded person who was too hard to eat was not good for his health.

While making noodles Guo Yili chewed the dough cake with the mineral water left over from the instant noodles, she ate two bags in one go after a day of hunger before she stopped, and carefully hid the only remaining bag of instant noodles in her clothes, Guo Yili let out a sigh of relief, she was nervous and scared outside all day, only now can she relax her tense spirit.

A pack of instant noodles and half a bottle of mineral water, such a thing can't attract the greedy eyes of other people in the carport, so when Guo Yili was full and resting, those peeping eyes were taken back, and at this time, the people who went out to look for food in the carport also began to come back one after another.

Some people harvest more and some people harvest less, at least on the surface, as for everyone's real harvest, only they know, just like Guo Yili, the backpack she threw on the side seemed to be deflated, but in fact there was a mezzanine inside, and a few bags of vacuum meat were hidden inside, which was the life-saving food that Guo Yili had stored.

The crowded carport is naturally noisy, and the food and all kinds of strange smells are definitely not a good smell, but hunger makes everyone the most sensitive to the smell of food, before Deng Qi was almost unconscious in pain, after smelling the aroma of instant noodles, the girl slowly woke up.

"Ilri, I'm hungry."

――――――

Night comes as scheduled, and every night is the most dangerous time of the day, because at night, the demons are much more active than during the day.

The people in the carport have already had a tacit understanding for many days, that is, there must be two teams to keep vigil every night, this team can refer to a family or a group of friends like Guo Yili and Deng Qi, and there are more than a dozen such teams in the carport.

Today it is the turn of a family of four and a couple to keep vigil.

After the family of four discussed it, the sixty-year-old lady stepped forward to take over the vigil, and the young couple went out to find food during the day and was tired from the day, and it was impossible for a teenage child to take on this responsibility.

But there was something wrong with the couple, the woman wanted to sleep well after a tired day, and the man was also very tired and didn't want to keep vigil, but in the face of the gaze of a large number of people, the two didn't dare to cheat, so you pushed me and I pushed you, and the two of them blamed each other for a while and then quarreled.

After the earthquake, everyone held a fire in their hearts, but the pressure of survival buried them in the bottom of their hearts, and the couple's quarrels became more and more intense, and at the same time, the fire in their hearts also rose.

"Damn, I'm not happy to let you keep a vigil all night after you're tired of working for you."

"Are you tired and tired for me, you have to eat all the good things you find."

"I'm a man, how can I protect you if I'm not full."

"You fart, who ran so fast when you met the demon today."

"Paralysis, if you don't push me towards the demons, can I run so fast!"

………

The two of them escalated from scolding to fighting, the sound of ping-pong became louder and louder, and no one would take a second look at the two people fighting, and naturally no one had the mind to meddle in the past few years, but the voices of the two were too loud, and in the dead of night, the hearing of the demon had not deteriorated.

Just when someone was about to step forward to stop the two people who were fighting together, outside the carport, a low roar made the carport instantly silent.

"It's a demon!" A trembling voice broke the silence of the carport, and then everyone grabbed what could be considered a weapon around them.

Guo Yili was holding a sharpened steel bar in her hand, and beside her was Deng Qi, who was shaking like chaff, if the demon rushed in, a wounded person like her would definitely be the first target, the demon liked the taste of blood, and when he thought of death, Deng Qi couldn't cry in fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The trembling tone Guo Yili couldn't listen to it herself, but what could she do, now Guo Yili only hoped that the strong men in the carport could block the attack of the demons, otherwise she and Deng Qi would be in danger.
