Chapter 48: Be Careful

"Smack."

The sound of light footsteps came from afar.

It was a young man, with short hair and a long beard, covered in dust, and most indecently carrying a sack of rice with leaves from the treetops, moldy flower rolls, and even rotting meat.

The man worked in a state-owned enterprise before the end of the day, young and promising, deeply valued by his superiors, and it would not be long before he was sent abroad for further study, and when the time came, he could sit in the position of director as soon as he returned.

Parents are alive.

Wife gentle.

There is also a pair of dragon and phoenix children, it can be said that he is definitely a winner in life, but who would have thought that after he woke up at home, everything changed dramatically.

The street was full of countless monsters, and he could see clearly upstairs that the daughter of Brother Zhang next door, a lovely junior high school student, was always polite when she saw her, and heard that she had taken the college entrance examination, and it would not be long before she would go to the most famous high school in the city, but the end came......

There was a corpse beetle crawling on her body, the beetle was the size of a calf, and the lovely girl was bitten in two in one bite, and her schoolbag was set aside, stained with her master's blood and internal organs.

Panicky.

The man was directly frightened, he trembled and sealed the doors and windows of the house with tools, and in this way, more than ten days passed.

But today, he opened the doors and windows and crept out of the door.

Suicide?

No!

He was so hungry that not only himself, but also his wife and two children had not eaten for a long time, and if they didn't find some food, they wouldn't even survive for two days, and they would starve to death.

This state of men today will be even more like stars in the future.

Scavengers.

A profession at the bottom of the apocalypse.

In the wild, they are like rats, roaming freely, leaving early and returning late every day, using scavenging to make ends meet.

In a sense, this is the truest portrayal of the survivors at the bottom, who have no homeland, no strength, because the terrain is so remote that even the troops and the Inquisitors will not set foot there.

No land in this world is safe, and even the barren and ruined wilderness is still filled with countless bugs and zombies, these monsters roam the surrounding area, hunting humans for food.

In such a given situation, the lives of the survivors can be imagined.

Scavengers are a product of this cruel life, they go out early and return late late, using their hands to scavenge in the wilderness, and their food is mostly based on plants and fruits.

No matter how good a man used to be, he can ...... now

He's just a scavenger.

Carrion in a rice bag.

Monsters in the wild also fight and cannibalize, this is the remains of a blade mantis, it doesn't know how long it has been dead, and even the flesh has begun to rot, giving birth to maggots, but for men, it is also life-saving food.

He couldn't care about that much anymore.

The supermarket in the neighborhood was occupied by a group of zombies, and he didn't dare to get close to it at all, and there were too many dangers outside, so he could only try to find food nearby.

Carrion.

Even if the meat can't be eaten, the maggots in it can be cleaned and used as protein to supplement physical strength.

People are forced out, those pampered rich children, who used to eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, saw that this was not fragrant, and that was not fragrant, and it was definitely a model of picky eating.

But in this apocalypse, food is definitely the most important material, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, even moldy steamed buns may cause a bloody war.

What kind of despair makes a proud son of heaven ecstatic when he sees maggots?

The harsh environment and low strength will only get worse and worse, and even, some low-level human beings have never tasted a piece of meat from life to death.

Of course, there will be some exceptions.

Pigs, sheep, and cows, these meats are monopolized by the upper class, and ordinary people can't even touch them, but there is a kind of meat that is extremely cheap, but it is readily available.

That's ......

Human flesh.

When despair strikes, man becomes even more mad than the beast.

"This food is almost enough, tomorrow, I'll come out again tomorrow......"

There was a large-scale massacre in the community, and in any corner, you could see scattered meat scraps and broken bones, and every step, even every second, was an ordeal for him.

"Meow Meow ......"

However, just as the man was about to go home, a weak voice alarmed him.

The man pushed aside the grass, his body tensed, his eyes were full of wariness, there was no danger around, he slowly began to move, and walked towards the depths.

What catches your eye is a red creature.

It was in the form of a cat, curled up and lying on the ground, whimpering from time to time, and looking very weak.

"Alive, can I eat it?" The man's face was full of doubt, and he took a branch and poked it lightly.

This thing was softer than the man had imagined, and it was as if it had no bones, and at the slightest touch, the branches collapsed into it.

A dying cat?

The man's eyes lit up a little.

The taste of the cat is good, although the taste is not as delicate as the pork and the chewiness of the beef, but compared to the maggots in the hand, it is also much stronger.

Flavor?

In times of peace, as a cat lover, how did he know?

Trapped at home, as early as the seventh day of the end of the world, he killed the folded cat that had been raised for four years and accompanied him through loneliness, Barton, which is its name.

It's so sad!

There was some sadness in the man's eyes, and he clearly remembered that he was so hungry that he twisted the cat's neck with his own hands.

Raised from a young age, Barton is extremely humane, does not shout or make trouble, and when he is busy with work, he always likes to lie down by his side and stay quietly, like a companion.

It even rubbed against his trouser leg as he snapped Patton's neck.

Peeling and peeling.

Crying and gnawing the shredded meat off Patton's calves.

Regret it?

Regret it!

pinching his pet to death, that's Barton who he watched grow up, lovely Barton!

But.

"If it all starts all over again, Barton, I'll still eat you!"

So hungry!

If you have never experienced hunger, you will not understand what it is like!

If you don't kill Patton, your children, your wife, and yourself will die, there is no way, this is no way!

The man's pupils had already become red, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, now it's it, where does it care whether the other party is dead or alive, as long as it can be eaten, everything is not a problem.

Scavengers, will devour anything that can be stuffed into their mouths.

The cat in front of him, even if it was a little weird, but the man had already thought about it so much, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take it back and have a good meal.

The man reached out his hand, and just as his fingers were about to touch the strange cat, it suddenly cracked......

Split?!

"Click."

The cat's body suddenly cracked, revealing the white flesh inside, filled with bile and white flowers, like brains and like some proteins magnified countless times, and the most surprising thing for the man was that a tentacle-like top was facing him upright.

What about cats?

"Whew!"

The tentacle suddenly straightened, and an object the size of a pinpoint pierced the man's chest.

"What the hell!"

The man was shocked, only to feel a sudden pain in his chest, and he tore open his clothes, only to see a spike on his chest.

Cold, numb, stiff, dazed......

The man's consciousness was slowly disappearing, his vision was dark, like a dark night, instantly lost its light, fear spread, it hurriedly tried to flee home, but its steps were much slower than expected.

His pupils gradually dilated, and after a few moments, his eyes were completely covered in pitch black, and his skin was saggy, starting from his chest, and his skin seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, gradually becoming wrinkled, only a few minutes later......

His body was melting, like a candle, and his skin and blood had all turned into a viscous red liquid, which slowly flowed into the cracked cat corpse.

After devouring the entire corpse, the red object began to slowly squirm, and after a few moments, a dark red, human-like body appeared on the ground.

The man's lips were dripping with dark red blood, and there was even the corpse of half a maggot on it, but it turned a blind eye, like a puppet, and a weak word came out of its throat.

"Huiyi, Xiaopeng, Xiaofei......"

The man lay on the ground, muttering some names in his mouth, shockingly, and he replaced the previous corpse as a new decoy.

Unknown creature.

The fate of the man, perhaps, from the moment he heard the cry, drew a terrifying rest......

Doomsday.

In addition to some dangers on the surface, in the silent corners, there are also strange dangers.

Darkness falls.

If you want to live, you must be careful, and then be careful......
