Chapter 3 of the Initial Chapter

"Bang!"

A shot was fired, but Denton found that the shot at close range was actually empty, a phantom flashed in front of him, and then his chest was violently impacted. Denton immediately lost his balance and fell backwards.

"How could it be..."

As Denton fell back, he could clearly see the red glow in the big mouse's eyes and the conspicuous white fur on its head.

"How can it be so fast...

The faint morning sun reflected on Denton's chest, reflecting a bright red.

Denton lost his center of gravity and fell into the jug.

It hurts!

Denton felt a strong blow to his back, a strong stabbing pain in his chest, choking on his mouth and nose, and the discomfort and pain that followed made Denton feel that his eyelids were extremely heavy, and the strength of his whole body was gone, and he was powerless to struggle, so he closed his eyes...

A large rat was rummaging through Denton's backpack when he found something that hurt his skin falling between the cracks in the rubble, jumped up to it, used his hands and feet, and began to gnaw at the barrel of the gun. After a few bites, the shotgun turns into a pile of parts.

After disassembling the gun, it seemed to take a breath, jumped into the chaos of rocks a few times, and disappeared.

In the haze, Denton felt very thirsty and hot, his eyes could not be opened, and his chest was filled with infinite sullenness, and he did not vomit or feel unhappy. I wanted to shout loudly, but I couldn't breathe, and my mind went blank again.

After a long time, Denton came to consciousness again, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and after a few seconds, he finally remembered everything.

"How could that rat be so fast! What's wrong with me? Ahh

Denton struggled to straighten up, a feeling of soreness all over his body, a sharp headache accompanied by dizziness, and after a while, Denton regained his strength and began to look at his surroundings.

"It's still in the jug!"

He could see the dim surroundings clearly, but there seemed to be only mud at the bottom of the jug, and there was no trace of water. Denton distinctly remembers his feet touching the water, and the sensation couldn't be clearer. Touching the mud in front of him, it was dry and a little warm, which made Denton even more puzzled.

Not far away, a human skeleton was scattered, and Denton cautiously approached to find that the skeleton had been decaying for a long time, and the dry bones were full of broken glass shards, scattered in the shallow mud.

With all these circumstances in mind, Denton's previous plans had been completely dismissed, and after thinking about it, he was still ready to take the dry bone out and place it. He took off his denim jacket, wrapped the dry bones and mud with soil, carried it on his back, and began to climb along the jug, and Denton easily climbed to the mouth of the can.

The large bags and small bags at the mouth of the can were still there, only the shotgun that was very handy was gone, sweeping under the mouth of the can, and a mess of parts and stones was scattered.

This situation gave Denton a new understanding of those mutated creatures in his heart. Denton has also encountered a lot of mutated animals before, as long as he shoots, he can be scared away immediately, and when he encounters a larger one, as long as he quietly detours, there will be no danger, I didn't expect this big mouse to be so fierce this time!

But fortunately, if I fell down so high, I was fine, and the scratch on my chest was healed. But this guy's luck is average, so he can only go back and deal with it! Those rats are not bad at finding things!

After packing up his things, Denton quietly followed the hose back to the ground, and after waiting quietly for a few seconds, there was no special movement, and then he returned the same way.

When the sun is in the sky, it glows softly, and the haze that envelops it is also very faint.

Denton didn't wear a coat, but he felt warm all over, not cold at all. It's a feeling I haven't felt in a long time, and I don't know why this autumn day suddenly has a little bit of life.

The way back was much better, the key was that Denton felt that he was full of energy, his body was inexplicably much lighter than before, and he felt very good except for feeling a little hungry.

Taking out the last expired canned beef in his backpack, Denton ate it as he walked. For some reason, Denton felt that the last can was particularly unpalatable, in addition to the taste like chewing wax, the smell made him almost nauseous, and finally he endured it.

Soon, Denton was back near the workers' quarters, but what happened next left Denton at a loss.

A large herd of hares-sized marmots was forming in groups, each large or small, gnawing on the bones that Denton had scoured from room to cremation!

A big mouse with white hair on its forehead picks the lower mouth of the skull, and solves one with a "sting" suck!

Denton froze in place, infinite anger rising in his heart, and he swiped his hand back, only to realize that he had no weapon. Immediately he picked up another stone from the ground and threw it at the white-haired mouse.

Denton threw it angrily, and the stone whizzed away like a cannonball, and the white-haired mouse seemed to realize it, and jumped forward, just dodging the stone, so that a groundhog in front of him suffered.

"Squeak"

The rat that was hit was knocked over, only screamed, and did not move again, and when you looked closely, blood was oozing out.

At this moment, all the marmots exploded in an instant, and immediately began to scatter and flee, losing the things on their claws, and burrowing into the cracks of the stones, even the white-haired rats also jumped violently.

Seeing this, Denton picked up another stone and threw it at several groundhogs that jumped together, and suddenly there were a few "squeaks", but they did not kill with one blow like before.

In the blink of an eye, the marmots were scattered, leaving only messy white bones, and after Denton sighed softly, he began to organize these bones, and after a while, several wooden bed boards were already full of white bones.

The lighter ignites a piece of flammable plastic, and the plank is quickly ignited, along with all the bones.

Smoke billowed up, and Denton's eyes lost focus, and he suddenly looked back to see that the human bones he had retrieved from the bottom of the jug were still in place.

"You go too!"

Throwing the white bones into the fire a few times, he shook his denim jacket, and with a "click", a metal piece fell to the ground. Denton picked it up and saw that it was an electronic watch, with a small LCD screen on it, no other buttons, showing the time.

"Yes, no one cares about it for so long, and it can still show the time, so let's keep it for now!"

The fire burned more and more, and in the face of the flames, Denton felt his heart beat a little faster inexplicably. After looking at the time, I waited a few more minutes and headed for the cleaned dormitory.

The previously sorted tableware is still there, but there are no ingredients, and the tableware is a little awkward. After sorting out the package again, there were still three small bottles of mineral water left, and there were no ones that could replenish energy, but there were several lighters for making fires.

"It's been a long time since I've been in the supermarket, and I can't even guarantee expired food, so if I continue like this, I'll really starve to death! But how can I find something to eat?"

Denton was a little deflated, his back against the wall, his hunger suddenly intense. When I closed my eyes, my hunger was even stronger, and there seemed to be a faint scarlet sweetness in the air, which was both disgusting and tempting.

The sound of "cooing" was like a loud thunder, and Denton had never heard such a loud sound of hunger.

"What's going on today? Why are you so hungry? ”

Opening his eyes, Denton looked at the source of the scent. A blood-stained groundhog lay there quietly, the one Denton had killed, the tender flesh of the stone where it had been hit.

"Perhaps... I'm alone, do I have to take care of so much?"

"No! You are human, how can you be like those animals!"

"It's okay... You're not eating people! Even if you want to eat people... ”

"Ahh

Multiple screeching sounds appeared in his head, and Denton felt some pain in his head, some heat.

Denton pressed his ear hard and hugged his head tightly, the heat turning into burning pain.

A drop of blood came out of Denton's nostril, followed by two drops, three drops...

"Bang"

Another explosion woke Denton from the chaos.

A few pieces of plastic shards flew on his face, causing slight pain, and Denton stared at the place where his blood was dripping, and the fragments of his lighter were everywhere.

The cloth bag where the lighter was originally placed was burned a hole in something, and then the plastic lighter inside burst, and the fragments flew out of the gap.

"Tick"

Another drop of blood fell to the ground, and a faint white gas rose. Denton reached out and touched it, and the blood was so hot, so hot.

"What's wrong with me?"
