Chapter 53: Family
I saw that the ground was covered with a thick layer of white bones, dozens of centimeters high, like a carpet of white bones. The dried blood on the walls was terrifying, and walking on it was like walking into the hell of Shura.
"Damn it!" When Uncle Wang saw this scene, his eyes were split.
There are hundreds of bones here, if not hundreds, to pile the ground so high.
Li Jing and Xiaoxue looked ahead with a dull expression, the impact of this kind of scene was something they had never felt before.
They felt that Qiu Ye was cruel because Qiu Ye had slaughtered hundreds of cannibals, but when they saw the sins committed by the cannibals, they began to understand what Qiu Ye had done.
If Qiu Ye hadn't killed those cannibals, how high would the bones here be piled up in the coming days?
Qiu Ye watched silently, but the sadness in his eyes could not be silenced.
Mutant creatures attack humans because of different races and different positions. What should we say about human beings attacking human beings, or even feeding on human beings?
How sad it is that those people did not want to hunt mutated creatures, but instead raised their butcher knives on the heads of their kindred!
"Damn it!" The fat man burst out of his mouth with two cold words.
"Liu Yuanjie, let me ask you, how many cannibals are there in Jiangkou City?"
"There should be tens of thousands of people, but I don't know the specifics." Liu Yuanjie came out of the shelter, and waves of cannibals passed in front of him, and he knew that the number of cannibals was not a few, and it could even be said to be huge.
Tens of thousands? Qiu Ye felt that his heart was a little blocked, and he couldn't imagine how many people died at the hands of the cannibals.
"Rest here tonight, and tomorrow we'll head to the shelter."
Night gradually fell, and the soft moonlight penetrated through the gaps, windows, and sprinkled on the bones, exuding a faint and cold light.
Qiu Ye lit a cigarette and placed it in the pile of bones, this was his sacrifice to the dead, and it was the only thing he could do.
"May you no longer experience suffering in the next life."
The others looked at the blazing cigarettes and fell silent.
Qiu Ye stood up, groped around, and finally found something wrong for him.
Turning over a pile of white bones, I saw an iron plate, and when I opened the iron plate, there was a passage underneath.
He finally knew how those huge cannibals appeared in front of them, and he began to understand why he and the others didn't meet any cannibals on the way.
The underground is the base camp of cannibals!
Qiu Ye resisted the urge to rush down and slaughter those cannibals, because he knew that he couldn't do it alone.
He didn't know if there were more powerful evolutionaries among the cannibals, and he didn't know what was going on underground, so it was too dangerous to venture down.
"Ono?" Uncle Wang and the fat man looked at Qiu Ye, as if they were waiting for Qiu Ye's decision.
"There's going to be a chance." The iron plate was put down and a faint mark was made in the house.
"You stay here, the Lizard King stays, and I'll go out for a while." Without waiting for the fat man and the others to say anything, Qiu Ye had already disappeared into the house.
Uncle Wang and the fat man glanced at each other and saw each other's doubts, but they knew that Qiu Ye naturally had his reasons for doing things, and what they should do was to believe him.
Uncle Wang looked at Li Jing and Xiaoxue, who had been silent since Qiu Ye slaughtered the cannibals, and Nono Xiqian, who had fallen asleep in their arms, and sighed lightly.
"Jingjing, Xiaoxue, do you think what Ono did was wrong?"
Li Jing was silent for a while, "I don't know. ”
"Actually, I would prefer you to be like Ono."
Li Jing and Xiaoxue were suddenly stunned, they didn't know what Uncle Wang meant by this.
"At first, I thought I could see it clearly, but Ono actually saw it much more clearly than I did." Uncle Wang was a little emotional, he thought he was inferior to Qiu Ye, but this was also what he was most pleased with.
"Just like those cannibals attacked us today, if it weren't for Qiu Ye, we would have died."
"Maybe you want to say that we still have Xiao Yanzi, just let Xiao Yanzi lead us to break through."
"But you have to know that if Qiu Ye lets go of these cannibals, then there will be many innocent people who will die at their hands."
"Then all these sins will be attributed to us, and we have the power to solve all this, but we don't, because of our so-called mercy."
"Who wants to kill? Jingjing you don't want to, Xiaoxue you don't want to, we don't want to, so who will come? ”
"It's just Ono."
"He took all the blame and pressure on our behalf, but you even fear him, what an excesses."
"We all deserve to be like Ono! Because only in this way can we live, and Ono will have a partner who can truly trust his life, a partner who can help him, rather than a companion who enjoys being protected behind him. ”
Uncle Wang's eyes were a little red, Qiu Ye had done too much for them, every time he faced danger, it was Qiu Ye, and every time he was injured, it was so serious and hideous, but despite this, Qiu Ye would rather give them the opportunity to improve his strength, so that they could better protect themselves, but they have been dragging their feet.
The fat man was a little ashamed in his eyes, Uncle Wang was right, he and the others had indeed been dragging Qiu Ye's hind legs.
Without them, Qiu Ye might have gained much easier, more relaxed.
For so long, Qiu Ye had never said a tired word.
What other qualifications do they have to be dissatisfied with? Alienation? Fear?
The atmosphere fell silent and let the night fade away.
When it was dark, Qiu Ye returned.
When he left, he only took a thousand poison daggers with him, but when he returned, he carried two large backpacks behind him and a fuel tank in the other.
"We don't have enough food, so I went to search a little bit and came back, everyone is hungry." Qiu Ye's face was a little pale, and the mutated creatures at night were extremely manic, and Qiu Ye was almost found several times.
Watching Qiu Ye take out the food from his backpack and distribute it to everyone present, Li Jing looked at Qiu Ye's pale face from the side, and a feeling of distress suddenly surged in his heart.
"Jingjing, this is your ......" Qiu Ye just wanted to hand the biscuit in his hand to Li Jing, but saw a black shadow rushing towards him.
"Qiu Ye, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Qiu Ye looked at the fat man and the others in astonishment, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Li Jing in her arms sobbed, and Xiaoxue next to her saw this scene, her eyes were also wet, and she walked behind Qiu Ye and hugged Qiu Ye.
"I'm sorry, Brother Qiu."
"Eh, wait, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Ye was confused, what kind of trouble is this?
However, the people around him watched this scene with a smile and seemed very happy.
"Qiu Ye, I will become stronger, even stronger than you! I'll protect you when the time comes! Li Jing choked up and said.
"Brother Qiu, we won't hold you back anymore!" Xiaoxue's voice is soft, but full of determination.
Qiu Ye listened to this, and he didn't know what was going on! His eyes moistened.
The trust of his companions is what Qiu Ye needs most, and Qiu Ye prefers to call it a family member rather than a companion, because Qiu Ye has already regarded Li Jing and the others as family.
Rubbing his eyes, his eyes returned to clarity, how could he let them see him crying, so he patted Li Jing's Xiaoxue.
"What are you talking about, let's eat quickly, we have to hurry up later, such a big person, and I always cry my nose."
When Li Jing heard Qiu Ye say this, she immediately pushed Qiu Ye away, rubbed her eyes, and said indignantly.
"Where am I crying! You're afraid you're blind! ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
Qiu Ye looked at his happy team, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Whatever the end times may be, this is what he wants to protect.
