Chapter 17: Human Nature
In the last days, you should never test human nature.
Neither before nor after the end times, human nature is not something that can withstand temptation.
Compared with before the end of the world, people's desires and greed have been infinitely magnified because of the collapse of order and the emergence of chaos.
In the last days, there is a threat to humanity itself rather than the threat of external monsters.
Never imagine how good people will be in the last days, the evil of human nature is far more evil than you think.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are those who are good and righteous.
But these are just a few.
After all, the main theme of the end times has always been chaos and collapse.
Even the flash of humanity that appears will slowly be eroded, corrupted, and finally assimilated in chaos and disorder.
In the health room –
In the cafeteria, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat, a tall chef's hat on his head, and two boning knives in his hands, with a greasy face, looked at the white wall with a slightly helpless expression.
And most of the men and women next to them are like this, revealing despair in helplessness.
Count carefully, there are more than a dozen people crowded into this small health room.
At this moment, the door of the health room has been firmly blocked by tables, chairs and some shelves to prevent the invasion of zombies.
Although the sound of zombies roaring or claws scratching the door can be heard from time to time outside the door, it is harmless, and it is safe so far.
The end times came suddenly, without the slightest warning for ordinary people.
Before the students who were still in class could react, some of the familiar people around them had already turned into zombies and were biting at them.
And after the reaction, there is a huge shouting, tearing, chaos.
The whole school was in chaos in an instant, and even the teachers were at a loss in the face of the situation at this time.
In this case, Zhang Kuohai, the canteen uncle who was working in the canteen, subconsciously picked up the boning knife in his hand and then rushed out of the canteen.
And rushed to the outside of the cafeteria only to find that the outside was also full of this kind of man-eating monsters, seeing the scene of these monsters tearing and chewing human flesh, he almost didn't let Zhang Kuohai vomit his stomach.
Enduring nausea and the constant churning acid in his stomach, Zhang Kuohai ran all the way into the teaching building with the panicked students, and then squeezed into the health room with more than a dozen students.
Then he used tables, chairs, benches, and some shelves to reach the door of the house, so that the zombies were not allowed to enter, and luckily escaped a section.
At first, they prayed that the police would come to the rescue, but after a long time, no one came to the rescue, which made them understand that now they can only rely on themselves to live.
And through the mobile phone that still had the Internet at the beginning, they found that this was a disaster all over the world, and the whole world was not spared, which also made the trace of luck in their hearts completely disappear.
Although there is still some water in the health room, it has been six or seven days since the end of the world, and no matter how much water there is in the drinking of more than a dozen people, it will already be drunk, and this is not the end, and the long time without eating has already made Zhang Kuohai hungry and crazy.
At first, it was okay, reason could still tell him that it was not okay to eat people, and the brain could control his body.
And because the end of the world has just begun, the law still has a lot of constraints, which also makes Zhang Kuohai not do any radical behavior, except for some verbal abuse, and even beat him without beating the classmates around him.
After all, his daughter is about the same age as them, and she is also in college.
But now, Zhang Kuohai already feels that he is dying, he is about to starve to death, and even reason can't hold back the craving for food in his heart.
Zhang Kuohai now feels that he can eat a cow, not to mention expired and moldy food, even if it is pig food in front of him, he will not hesitate to eat it.
"No, I'll starve to death if I go on like this, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it, I'm going crazy!"
The hunger in his stomach made Zhang Kuohai's eyes fall on the people around him, yes, he wants to eat now, he wants to live, even if this is a human.
There is more than one person like Zhang Kuohai, and many people seem to sense Zhang Kuohai's gaze like a beast, and then slowly raise their heads.
Then, as if instinctively, the boning knife in his hand slashed at a boy around him, who seemed to be clutching his stomach tightly at the moment, trying to relieve the hunger in his stomach.
The boy who was fighting hunger with all his heart did not feel the butcher knife being swung at him.
But surprisingly, everyone didn't remind him to dodge, and everyone was staring at the boy with a little creepy eyes, like looking at food.
The boning knife fell, and the boy fell in response.
The head was directly split into a crack under the sharp boning knife, a large amount of blood gushed out, and the boy fell to the ground in a daze, as if he didn't expect that the uncle on the side would swing the boning knife like himself.
As the boy fell, everyone pounced on the boy as if they were crazy and began to bite the flesh on the boy's body.
The boy who was used as food was not even dead at this time, and looked at the people who were biting his body with horror and resentment in his eyes.
He couldn't believe that these people were like beasts at this time, but they were all classmates and friends who had a good relationship with him!
Soon his consciousness began to blur as blood gushed out, and resentment was the last thought in his mind.
Hungry!
I was so hungry, so hungry.
Tears and a whimpering sound while biting.
And Zhang Kuohai was also in tears at the moment, his eyes were red while eating the boy's meat, and he was holding the boning knife in his hand over and over again.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wouldn't want to if I could, but I want to live!
I still have family to protect, I'm sorry!
It seems that thinking like this can alleviate the guilt in Zhang Kuohai's heart.
In the face of survival, human nature is so fragile.
Things like this happen everywhere, it's not right or wrong, it's just about survival.
.........
And at this moment, Jiang Yu was walking towards a place with Wang Kun.
Because just now, the system, which has not moved for the past few days, has finally issued a system task again.
"Ding-dong! System task released!"
"Kill! Deal with the first sequence of the Cybler, it's a one-sided battle, but so what? Kill him! Just like he killed your "compatriots"! Survival of the fittest!"
"Mission Reward: 1,100 survival points for the first draw. ”
"Mission Punishment: Obliteration. ”
The task reward seems to be a little small, but it is actually quite reasonable, after all, with Jiang Yu's current strength, even if it is the first sequence of steel bone birds, at this moment, I am afraid that it is not much different from the delivery of food, so the reward for this task is almost for nothing, and the reward will naturally not be too much.
There was no reason not to take the reward given for free, so Jiang Yu took Wang Kun towards the location of the steel-bone bird.
While walking, he moved the bones and joints of his body, and every activity of the bones and joints even had the slightest sound, although it was not up to the tiger and leopard thunderstorm mentioned in the novel, but it could be regarded as reaching the point of the muscles and bones, and the muscles of the whole body were constantly shaking under Jiang Yu's movements.
This made Wang Kun look at the back for a while, even if he is a muscular man now, compared to Jiang Yu, I am afraid that it is the difference between a rhinoceros and a cowbell.
I'm afraid that if one punch goes down, half of my life will be lost.
In the face of a humanoid monster like his eldest brother, there is no so-called reason to talk about it at all.
Look at the arm that is thicker than other people's thighs, and you can understand what Wang Kun means.
As for Jiang Yu, he didn't think about it at all, at this moment, he just wanted to test his current strength and make himself stronger.
You know, your fists and bloodlust have long been hungry and thirsty!
Thinking like this, his mouth even grinned, revealing a smile that Jiang Yu thought was very sunny and handsome.
It's just that in the eyes of Wang Kun behind him, this is undoubtedly a signal that the muscle killer demon is going to kill!
I can't help but feel sad for some unlucky creature next.
Because in his eyes, I'm afraid there is no opponent that Jiang Yu can't defeat.
Powerful and ferocious, this is the target given by Wang Kun for what Jiang Yu has done these days
