Chapter 8 ·

Chen Xiaowu and Jiang Xiujing went straight through the village and ran towards a small hill no more than a few tens of meters high in the east of the village.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaowu turned around and pulled her arm, pulled it hard, bent over and hugged it in his arms, and the two stumbled all the way to the hillside.

Occasionally, when I looked back, the village behind me was full of life, the screams of men, the screams of women, the crying of children, the barking of dogs, the sound of chickens jumping, and the chaos was chaotic.

Chen Xiaowu ran forward numbly, and his mind always flashed the figure of the old lady lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, he suddenly missed Sister Shiyang and Dean Li of the orphanage. This is a virus that can make people not recognize their relatives, and can turn people into man-eating monsters, I wonder what happened to the other children in the orphanage? Is Sister Shiyang still safe?

The highest of this hill is only a few tens of meters, the mountain is full of red pines, the forest is very dense, and it didn't take long to run, until Chen Xiaowu felt that he could no longer hear the noise from the village, Chen Xiaowu, who was exhausted, put Jiang Xiujing on the ground, and he leaned on a pine tree and sat on the ground.

“ARE YOU OK?” Jiang Xiujing carefully stepped on the clean ground, looked up at Chen Xiaowu, and found that his face was a little ugly.

I don't know if it's because of the continuous vigorous running, or because of mental stimulation.

Chen Xiaowu didn't answer him, still panting to himself, his body was exhausted to the limit at this moment, and the continuous stimulation made his heart already out of proportion.

He now wondered if he had a mental problem, or if everything he was going through was just a nightmare he had because he was too tired, just like when he first arrived at the orphanage as a child, he always dreamed of footsteps coming from the depths of the darkness, getting closer and closer.

At that time, he always dodged everywhere in his dreams, sometimes hiding in the water tank, sometimes hiding under the wall, sometimes being chased off the cliff, but every time he woke up from a nightmare, he would see Sister Shiyang sitting in front of him gently, gently brushing the cold sweat from his forehead.

What special Liu Jianbin is, what special biochemical virus, what special book collection? What a special mission!

Chen Xiaowu lay backwards, and only after stopping at this moment did he feel a burst of soreness in his feet.

He opened his eyes and looked at the sky, a clear blue sky that came into view through the gaps in the pine trees. White clouds flowed through the cracks.

My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, I'm so tired!

If this was a dream, would I have woken up to find myself in a sleeping bag in a tent by the river? Such an idea suddenly popped into Chen Xiaowu's head.

Then go to sleep, and before you know it, your eyes are closed. Chen Xiaowu fell asleep deeply.

Jiang Xiujing on the side looked at Chen Xiaowu, who was originally out of breath, and actually snored after lying on the ground in a daze.

She sighed softly. Looking around, the forest was quiet, when Chen Xiaowu was carrying Chen Xiaowu on his back last night, he was intermittently confused a few times, although it was not sleeping, but at this moment, he was not half sleepy.

In the past few days, she has experienced more thrills than Chen Xiaowu, escaping from the mouths of zombies again and again, and being transported back and forth by different people again and again with a cargo-like existence.

At this moment, in addition to being able to judge that she seems to have arrived in the territory of Huaxia, her eyes are black at all.

Her hometown has been invaded by a biochemical virus, and she thinks of her mother, who was bitten and eaten by her neighbors, and her father, who went out that morning and never came back.

In this world, there is no home for her, what can she do now, where should she go? And what can be done?

She remembered that her mother was chased by zombies and resolutely turned around and pounced on the zombies behind her, and remembered the moment when her mother turned around, looking at her tearful eyes.

Then let's live, with my mother's love and hope.

Tears slipped silently, and she sniffled and wiped away her tears.

In the woods, the fallen pine needles had long since decayed and softened, Jiang Xiujing tried to take a step forward, and her feet walked on it, and there was no imaginary pinprick feeling.

His eyes glanced at Chen Xiaowu's feet.

This man has saved himself more than once, and he wants to steal his shoes again.

Forget it, if you wake him up when you take off your shoes, he'll be completely annoyed.

Then he remembered the way his face bloomed when he was thrown by himself last night, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly.

After taking a few more tentative steps, I got used to the touch from the soles of my feet, and gradually my steps became brisk. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the woods.

I don't know how long I slept, Chen Xiaowu opened his eyes, the sky was still bright, he sat up, and found a wide leaf of burdock in his hand, and a few black fungus and unknown fungi were placed on the leaf.

Chen Xiaowu looked around suspiciously, and turned around to see Jiang Xiujing sitting not far behind him, barefoot, leaning under an old pine tree.

Although he is bareheaded, the softness revealed between his eyebrows still makes people feel excited.

At this time, Jiang Xiujing was concentrating on fiddling with something in her hand, Chen Xiaowu looked at it carefully, saw what she was fiddling with in her hand, and was shocked that it was the pistol that Liu Jianbin took to kill himself last night.

Seeing him wake up, Jiang Xiujing put down the gun in her hand, smiled lightly at him, and stretched her chin at the burdock in his hand.

Delicate skin leaked from under the white neck, and Chen Xiaowu saw that the bullet necklace thrown by Liu Jianbin was also hung around Jiang Xiujing's neck.

Chen Xiaowu picked up the two fungus on the burdock leaves, threw them into his mouth, it was cold and tasteless, looked at the mushrooms on the side of the fungus, rummaged twice, and gave up the idea of throwing this unknown fungus into his mouth.

In case this collection of mushrooms is picked indiscriminately, it will be poisoned by eating it.

"Why didn't you run?" Chen Xiaowu walked towards Jiang Xiujing and asked suspiciously.

Of course, Jiang Xiujing didn't understand what he was asking, so she simply didn't care what he meant, and handed the snatch in her hand to Chen Xiaowu.

When Chen Xiaowu saw her pick up the gun, his heart sank, and when he saw that she handed the gun to him, he took the gun suspiciously and looked at her.

“I don't use it. You use it to protect me. I'm yours" (I won't use it, you use it to protect me, I'm yours)

Jiang Xiujing looked at him quietly and said.

What was said and said a lot, Chen Xiaowu rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to guess, since he gave the gun to himself, he put it in the pocket in his arms again.

Then he stretched his waist hard. This sleep not only relieved him from the fatigue of running all night last night, but also relaxed his spirit.

He is such a character, when he woke up, he had already figured it out, no one could choose fate, and God seemed to have been against him, since he entered the orphanage at the age of 6, what happened smoothly.

Thief God, you don't let me be good, I just want to live a good life for you!

Is the biochemical apocalypse? Zombies? Lao Tzu wants to live nourishing and moistening in the last days of cannibalism!

He smacked his teeth vigorously and swallowed the residue of the fungus that had just been chewed up. This little fungus has no taste at all, and it is not hungry at all.

You'll have to find something to eat. The village below the mountain didn't know what was going on at this time, but if he could find food from the mountain at his feet, Chen Xiaowu really didn't have the courage to go down the mountain and fight those zombies.

The pine trees on this mountain are the most numerous, and if I remember correctly, in September and October, it should be the time to pick the pine tower.

He remembers seeing the news a few years ago that several farmers were riding in hydrogen balloons to hit the pine tower, but the fixed rope broke away and the people were hung up.

Do you want to beat some pine nuts yourself, throw the fist-sized pine tower into the fire, and then knock it up crunchy, high in calories and delicious.

So he began to take a closer look at the pine trees in front of him. If it's too thin, it won't work, he remembered that the tree was decades old before it formed a pine tower, and if he had worked hard to climb it but didn't bear fruit, wouldn't it be a waste of physical strength.

After looking for a long time, I finally found a pine tree that looked about half a meter in diameter, but how to go up, Chen Xiaowu watched a video of aborigines climbing coconut trees in Shanghai on TV.

In the video, the man wrapped his hands around the tree body, kicked the trunk with his feet, and then climbed up a little bit to the top of the tree with his hands and feet, but compared with the coconut tree, this pine tree is much thicker, and the pine trunk is full of all kinds of small barbs like cow hair......

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaowu took off his belt, put it on the trunk, leaned back, and kicked his feet on the trunk, although the belt on his hand was wrapped around the palm of his hand, his weight was too heavy, and Chen Xiaowu felt that his palm was about to be strangled.

Gritting his teeth, he barely managed to move one foot up a little. But the belt can't go up.

So Chen Xiaowu was embarrassed to find himself fixed to the trunk of the tree in an extremely stupid posture......

This is completely different from what I imagined, it seems that the feasibility is very high, raise your head and look at the trunk of more than ten meters, Chen Xiaowu wants to cry without tears, my special strength does not allow it!

Chen Xiaowu jumped down, turned his head to look at Jiang Xiujing stupidly, and saw Jiang Xiujing looking at him with a smile on her face, her old face turned red, and said, "I just measure how thick the tree is, what do you see." ”

At a glance, I saw the burdock leaves that Jiang Xiujing used to put fungus for herself just now. His eyes lit up, and he walked over and picked up this leaf, and asked, "Yours, where did you get this leaf to work?" ”

Jiang Xiujing was stunned for a moment and looked at the leaf in his hand. Then he understood what he meant, and pointed to the depths of the woods.

I saw Chen Xiaowu running quickly in the direction he was pointing. Jiang Xiujing was a little curious, could it be that this leaf was of any special use. He also cautiously looked at the road under his feet and followed along.

Chen Xiaowu ran more than 200 meters and saw that there were a few wild burdock trees growing on the ground, and the reason why Chen Xiaowu knew burdock was when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he went to Dongshan with Dean Li during the Dragon Boat Festival.

As a result, when he was halfway there, the old man saw a burdock on the side of the road, so he ran over with a surprised face, broke a branch and began to dig it up.

At that time, I didn't understand anything, and when I saw Dean Li digging so carefully, I thought I had really touched some treasure, and asked what it was, but Dean Li smiled mysteriously: This thing is called a strong man, and you don't understand it when you are older.

Later, when I was older, I learned from the Internet and other places that this thing was originally called oriental ginseng, and it was used to soak in wine to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang.

A few years ago, when I went to see Dean Li, I remembered this stalk, and I specially bought some burdock tea from the Internet to tease him, but this old thing looked at the burdock tea and said with a regretful face: Alas, a few years ago, you bought me some of this thing to drink, but now that I am older, I have no place to use my strength, what are you doing with this thing for me.

Then he calmly put it in his briefcase, and Chen Xiaowu's face was full of black lines.
