Wu Qingfeng carried Lao Jiu on his back and left.

Lao Ba staggered to his feet and walked into the distance following Wu Qingfeng's footsteps.

The rest of the people gradually retreated as the two left.

And Luo Yu's bloodthirsty desire has not been satisfied, and when he sees this, he will chase after him.

Yang Zhan didn't know when he walked behind Luo Yu, raised his palm and struck the back of his head, a feeling of dizziness came, and then it was dark in front of him, and Luo Yu fainted to the ground.

When Luo Yu woke up, it was already dusk, Yang Zhan carried him on a winding path, the path was flat all around, and you could see a large area of crops, but there were few crops in the field, most of them were overgrown with weeds, only three or two fields were planted with crops, but no one took care of them, and they were about to be covered by weeds.

Obviously, Luo Yu and the three of them had completely walked out of the mountain range.

Luo Yu shook his slightly sour neck slightly, and then looked at Dongfang Qiushui behind him, for some reason Dongfang Qiushui just lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.

Patting Yang Zhan's shoulder, Luo Yu spoke.

"Brother Yang, let me down. We're right there. ″

"Yo, wake up. We have been out of the mountains, just when you didn't wake up, passed by a small mountain village, the entrance of the village said Shuangyu, it should be called Shuangyu Village, originally wanted to spend the night there, but there are a lot of monsters in the village, most of them are entrenched in the houses, so I dispelled this idea. ″

Yang Zhan put Luo Yu down as he spoke, and after putting Luo Yu down, he patted Luo Yu on the shoulder, raised his head at Dongfang Qiushui, and then spoke.

"I went to see my brother and sister, I kept my head down all the way, and I didn't know what I was thinking. ″

Listening to Yang Zhan's words, Luo Yu nodded and walked towards Dongfang Qiushui.

Yang Zhan, on the other hand, took the rabbit and walked to the only two or three remaining crop fields.

Just through the weeds, I came to a field of peanuts.

After the mutation, the peanut seedlings have grown to more than half a human height, and the flowers on them are numerous.

If the farmers who plant see it, they will definitely like it in their hearts, but unfortunately the people who plant now don't know whether they are dead or alive, let alone like it or not.

Thinking like this, Yang Zhan had already reached out to grab the seedlings, and pulled them out with a slight force with both hands.

As soon as he pulled it up, an earthworm the thickness of an adult's arm burst out of the ground, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan raised his leg and kicked it aside, ignoring the earthworm and pulling up the peanut at this time.

Seeing this, the rabbit happily 'played' with the earthworm.

On the other side, Luo Yu walked to Dongfang Qiushui, who was still bowing his head, reached out and rubbed Dongfang Qiushui's hair, and spoke.

"Thinking about something, absent-minded. ″

Hearing Luo Yu's words, Dongfang Qiushui raised his head, shook his head, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's hurry. ″

After hearing this, Luo Yu smiled dumbly, took Dongfang Qiushui's hand, and sat on the side of the road together.

"I'm still in a hurry, Brother Yang is preparing dinner, what's the matter, even I won't say? ″

Hearing Luo Yu's words, Dongfang Qiushui lowered his head, and his tone was very low.

"Did I kill someone, that person named Lao Jiu, he died in front of me, and I pierced his heart with a Tang knife. ″

Dongfang Qiushui fell, sat down, hugged his legs, and buried his head in his knees.

Listening to Dongfang Qiushui's words, Luo Yu gently hugged her shoulder and patted her gently.

"It's okay, you have to understand, if you don't kill him today, maybe more people will die at his hands in the future, you have to understand who they are. ″

But I can't forget the eyes of Lao Jiu when he was dying, with unwillingness in despair, and resentment in horror, this kind of look is deeply engraved in my heart. ″

"This is the first time I have killed a man who has not lost his mind, and he died in front of my eyes, pierced through the heart by me with a Tang knife. ″

When the words fell, tears rolled down from the big charming eyes and fell to the ground.

A trace of distress flashed in Luo Yu's eyes, and he gently hugged Dongfang Qiushui's shoulder, hugged her in his arms, and gently patted her back.

Luo Yu didn't know how he should persuade Dongfang Qiushui.

In such an apocalypse, should a girl be strong or weak?

To be strong is to kill, and to be weak is to be killed.

She is just an ordinary girl, she should be married and taught children, harmonious and happy, but now she has picked up a sharp blade that can kill, just for those simple two words, to live.

Living, what a simple two words, but in such an apocalypse, it is a luxury.

Luo Yu hugged the Dongfang Qiushui in his arms tightly and clinged to his chest, hoping that his heart, which was not soaked by the cold wind, could bring some warmth to the Dongfang Qiushui.

……

Under the sunset, Wu Qingfeng carried Lao Jiu's body on his back and didn't know how far he went.

Lao Jiu's body was already stiff and purple, and the blood that had been all over his body before had dried up and condensed together, and as Wu Qingfeng walked, it fell to the ground sparsely.

Lao Ba followed, following this step by step, the wound on the abdomen cut by Yang Zhan's machete, after the healing of the green beads, has been scarred, but under the continuous walking, it has been cracked open, although there is gauze wrapping, but the blood is still soaked through layers of gauze, oozing out, along the trouser tube, dripping on the ground.

But the eighth child didn't care about this, just lowered his head, followed behind Wu Qingfeng with difficulty, and limped forward.

After turning over a mountain and looking at the plain in front of him, Wu Qingfeng stopped, gently put down Lao Jiu's body, and sat next to Lao Jiu.

The red sun in front of us gradually sank in the west, and the last afterglow shone a white cloud like fire, and even the ground in front of it was fiery red, but this was the last light and heat of the day.

Looking at the red sun in the west, Wu Qingfeng's mind was full of memories.

That day was also under such a sunset, led by his eldest brother Wu Qingyu, and the ten of them knelt on the ground and knocked their heads together.

It's just like what Lao Jiu said, what a brother is, he Wu Qingfeng doesn't know, but now he recalls the past, with a slight sourness and a faint heartache in his heart.

"Starling, am I wrong, if it weren't for me, Lao Jiu wouldn't have died, but until now I don't know where I was wrong. ″

When the next starling sounded, Lao Ba's heart was sour and a little warm at the same time, but more vigilant.

"Second master, I didn't do anything wrong, I just planned things in people, and things were done in heaven. ″

After listening to this, Wu Qingfeng smiled sadly.

"Starling, I won't be the same as I was before, it's a long road, and I'll see. ″

Wu Qingfeng's words fell, and the eighth child's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant.

The memories of yesterday cannot be remembered, and the period of tomorrow is difficult to meet.

……

The red sun is sinking in the west, taking away the last light and heat of the day, and finally disappearing below the horizon.

The night struck, eroded the light bit by bit, and finally completely annihilated the earth, enveloping it.

A bright moon rises, hanging high in the sky, the wisps of moonlight are like streams, gently sprinkled down, for the dark earth to cross a layer of silver, a faint mist rises from the earth, in the reflection of the moonlight is more white.

In the weedy crop field, Luo Yu and Yang Zhan sat by a bonfire, looking at the bright moon in the sky, speechless.

Dongfang Qiushui has fallen asleep on the fur of the rabbit's belly, but she is not sleeping sweetly, she is always moving around in her sleep, and she will say a dream word or two from time to time.

Looking at Dongfang Qiushui in his sleep, a trace of distress flashed in Luo Yu's heart, Dongfang Qiushui said a lot to him that day.

Luo Yu knew that Dongfang Qiushui was just an orphan, and when her parents abandoned her, all they left her was a note, marked with her name and the date of birth, and there was nothing left, not even the bedding that wrapped her.

It was also on this day that Luo Yu knew that before the mutation, Dongfang Qiushui was just a teacher and took the road of educating people.

However, a mutation broke everything before, and the life trajectory of all the people who led it changed has changed.

It is a great irony that the former teacher put down his books and was forced to pick up a sharp blade that could kill.

Luo Yu couldn't help but ask himself how he felt when he killed someone for the first time.

He remembered that he was at that time, not even as good as Dongfang Qiushui, looking at the blood on his hands and those dead gray eyes, he cried, like a child, howling and crying.

Until now, Luo Yu didn't dare to recall the faces that had died on his hands when he was dying, which was full of resentment, remorse, nostalgia, unwillingness, horror, and relief.

Also in the continuous killing, Luo Yu understood one thing, that is, in such an apocalypse, we are all wrong, and the mistake is that we want to live.

Yang Zhan looked at Luo Yu's delicate face reflected by the bonfire, and couldn't help but speak.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed. ″

After listening to Yang Zhan's words, Luo Yu stretched out his hands and slapped his face twice, and then exhaled a long breath before speaking.

"No, I just remembered some bad things from the past. ″

"Brother Yang, have you ever planned for the future. ″

Luo Yu's words fell, Yang Zhan scratched his head, and smiled.

"Before I said that there was no mutation, I really didn't plan for the future, I was just an otaku at that time, in my thirties, but I stayed at home all day, with the computer as my companion every day, and instant noodles to satisfy my hunger. ″

"Fortunately, my father and mother didn't get early, otherwise I don't know how disappointed I was when I saw the way I used to be? ″

"But it's different now, I like such troubled times, I want to fight hard in such troubled times and become the most powerful mutant, and I even thought about it, if I can, then form my own force and be a free-spirited emperor. ″

"What about you, Luo Yu, what are your plans for the future? ″

Luo Yu smiled, shook his head, and spoke.

"I really don't have any plans, let's go one day at a time. ″

In fact, Luo Yu didn't tell the truth in his heart, but his inner thoughts were contrary to Yang Zhan.

He wanted to be a doctor, a doctor skilled enough to save him from this sick and troubled world.

He wants to get everything back to normal.

Back to that normal world, there is the carefree laughter of children, the sweat of adults every day, the care of the elderly supporting each other, the noise of the city, the tranquility of the countryside, and the warm rays of sunshine every morning.
