Settled

Under the blue sky, a desolate street spreads quietly. The crimson sunset on the horizon reflects the magnificent sunset. At the end of the dim scroll, Li Zhi strolled from a distance......

In his left hand, he clutches a steel pipe, like the leg of an old-time desk. On it is a rat with oddly long hind legs, a bit like a kangaroo that has shrunk many times over. This is the trophy that Li Zhi got at the cost of a small piece of flesh on his neck.

Along the way, Li Zhi has only seen one person, and because the distance is too far, he can't see the gender clearly. The man seemed to see him as well, and chose to take a detour to avoid him. This made Li Zhi, who wanted to inquire about the information, very disappointed.

In addition to people, there are really a lot of living creatures on the road. Cats, dogs, and mice are the most, and in addition to that, Li Zhi even saw a monkey on a large willow tree. The monkey was wearing a red vest, which was very conspicuous!

Not all of these animals pounce on sight, as legend has suggested. The only one who attacked Li Zhi was the poor rat who had turned into a sugar gourd. The rest just stared at Li Zhi very spiritually, silently watching him drift away. That look ... made Li Zhi very uncomfortable.

In short, Li Zhiyou walked forward for more than four hours without danger, and he was far enough away from the magnificent base. He was now desperate to find a place to stay......

The sun was creeping down little by little, and Li Zhi's high fever was getting worse and worse. This stemmed from his untreated right arm and ribs, and although the pain was minimal, the damage was still there.

Li Zhi stood in the middle of the street, scrutinizing left and right, his gaze sweeping from shop to shop. Finally, I stopped at the one with the complete doors and windows.

"Surfing Internet Cafe." Li Zhi glanced at the undamaged plaque and stepped in through the open door of the store.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, Li Zhi checked the entire Internet café. It's been a long time since anyone has been here, and the dust on the bar is at least a centimeter thick! All that was left of the room were a few scattered computers and old chairs.

Although there was no food or water, Li Zhi was lucky enough to find half a box of lighters and a few boxes of cigarettes in a drawer under the bar. I don't know if the cigarette can still be smoked, but fortunately, the lighter can be used.

With a lighter, Li Zhi naturally wanted to disassemble a seat to make a barbecue. In the event of a physical injury, eating food to replenish energy is a necessary choice.

Unplugging the "left foot", Li Zhi picked a smaller single chair and began to work. He picked up his left leg and kicked it! Sweep! Chop! After a few strokes, the seat became tattered, but there was still a long way to go before it became firewood...

Li Zhi stopped moving his legs, and he began to feel dizzy.

He stared blankly at his chair and muttered. "Why do I have to tear it down with my feet? Wouldn't it be easier to take off the prosthetic limb and use it for the hand? I seem to be a fool ... ”

Li Zhi glanced around, after confirming that his behavior just now was not seen by others. He removed his prosthetic leg and threw himself viciously at the seat......

Ten minutes later, the chair had successfully degenerated into firewood and rags. Li Zhi cleared a clean piece of ground with a sense of accomplishment, picked out a few pieces of appropriately shaped wood and piled them together.

He lit a rag with a lighter and threw it at the pile of wood. Soon, the rags burned out, but the wood was gone...

Li Zhi blinked in confusion and picked up a rag again. This time he shoved the rags into the middle of the pile of wood and pressed the lighter with anticipation...

Still failed, the rags burned out the life but only slightly blackened the wood. Li Zhi picked up one of the pieces of wood, flipped it over and over in front of his eyes, and began to inspect it.

He couldn't figure it out, wouldn't the wood burn when it caught fire? Are the books all deceptive? But he'd clearly seen someone set fire to the house in the magnificent base... Li Zhi frowned and scratched his head in confusion.

Obviously, Li Zhi didn't know. In the old days, some wood was disposed of before it was made into furniture. to ensure that some small flames do not cause fires.

Li Zhi, who thought to no avail, did not believe evil and began to try again...... Ten minutes later, he kicked the pile of wood apart...

Li Zhi was rather irritated and smashed himself into another full seat. He tore open a box of red cigarettes called Purple or something. The other character is a traditional Chinese character, which Li Zhi does not recognize. This kind of trivial matter doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't understand the brand of cigarettes.

After taking out a cigarette and confirming that it was not moldy, Li Zhi lit it in his mouth. Following the example of others smoking, he smacked the mouthpiece of his cigarette and took a full puff. Then, he opened his mouth slightly, ready to take another breath of air.

"Ahem! cough cough cough ~ "As soon as he inhaled a little, Li Zhi coughed uncontrollably, coughing his eyes full of tears.

What kind of play is this? Can this thing really be smoked? It can't be left out for too long, right? I remember that when I was a child, my father smoked and enjoyed it very much~ Li Zhi's inner resentment was big and deep...

He paused for a moment, looking at the illusory smoke that floated in the reddish, and fell into a tangle. Try it again? Try, don't try, try!

Li Zhi made up his mind and leaned towards the cigarette holder again. This time he learned his lesson and only took a small sip.

"Whew~" A faint smoke blew straight out from his lips. Li Zhi blinked in confusion.

It's amazing ... It's like mixing the irritability of the heart into smoke and spitting it out. Hmm~ It seems that there is still a feeling of fluttering mind. My fever can't get worse, right?

Li Zhi silently felt the stimulation brought by the cigarette and was a little happy. He found a feeling that he was not affected by his strange illness.

While smoking, Li Zhi turned his gaze to the rat on the steel pipe. Since there is no fire, there is only one option left: eating it raw......

The cigarette burned out, and Li Zhi was too lazy to get up. He hooked the steel pipe with his foot, dragged the mouse down, and began to peel the skin with the dagger on his prosthetic.

With a slight intolerance, Li Zhi stripped off the mouse's clothes. He cut off his little head and threw it aside.

Li Zhi pinched the long tail of the mouse with his left hand, lifted it in front of his eyes, and looked at it in a circle. Then he came to the conclusion that it wasn't necessarily delicious. "Heh~" After laughing at himself that this conclusion was useless to himself, Li Zhi began to slice meat with his 'calf'.

As for why he didn't go straight to the teeth, it was because he read a sentence in a book that said that a gentleman should be more elegant in the more demanding situations. Li Zhi liked this sentence, he wanted to be elegant and wanted to be a gentleman......

The light pink slices of flesh were stained with blood through his teeth and placed on his tongue by Li Zhi. To Li Zhi's own surprise, he started chewing without any sense of repulsion.

"Heh~ It's a good thing that I don't feel sensitive to taste for the first time...

After a few minutes, the act of numb chewing and swallowing ends. Li Zhi wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then rubbed the back of his hand against the rag.

Li Zhi glanced at the remains of the rat that had not been eaten cleanly in his hand, wrapped it in a rag, and threw it away.

Without warning, Li Zhi nodded and almost fell forward. He blinked vigorously and shook his head, trying to bring his brain back to its senses.

In a daze, Li Zhi took out a cigarette again, and he laboriously pointed the cigarette butt at the lighter, and then lit it.

Li Zhi leaned into the sofa with a lit cigarette in his mouth, and he was about to take a small puff when an idea suddenly came to him.

Why don't I just bake it with a lighter? Isn't half a box of lighters enough to roast a mouse? I...

Li Zhi's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and the cigarette slipped from his lips and fell onto the seat. The seat, which was old but still in good condition, was suddenly burned out of a small hole.

The sun has sunset, and darkness is about to completely take over the "surfing Internet café". Only the last faint red dot is still resisting. A few minutes later, the red dot was also engulfed by darkness......
