Everyone's expressions were a little gloomy, and they didn't dare to look more.

I wanted to bury her on the spot, but I didn't dig it with the tools of my hand.

Now everyone is hungry and thirsty, although they have sympathy for the same disease, they can't bear it, and they can only abandon the corpse of the middle-aged woman for the time being.

They need to conserve their stamina and don't dare to waste it casually.

The hunger and thirst grew, and the crowd was forced to brave the road again.

In just half a day, the death of the short old man and the middle-aged woman cast a huge shadow of death over everyone's heart.

Xiao Han kept taking deep breaths, and with the help of this action, he forced himself to be calm.

The more dangerous it is, the more calm it is.

This time, the crowd became more and more cautious.

Everyone was carefully watching the grass around them to prevent the giant rat monster from reappearing.

When the crowd left.

Suddenly a gray shadow flashed in the grass, and the giant rat with a wounded back quietly appeared next to the corpse of the middle-aged woman again.

Its long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly like a human, staring at the people who were moving away.

Then, it lowered its head and began to gnaw on the corpse of the middle-aged woman on the ground.

Suddenly, the grass around it moved, and a giant rat that was almost identical to it emerged.

When the giant rat saw the middle-aged woman's corpse, its eyes immediately lit up with greed, and it was busy tearing and gnawing at it.

A third giant rat followed.

Three giant rats surrounded the middle-aged woman's corpse and ate it.

Soon, the flesh and blood on the middle-aged woman's corpse were gnawed to the ground, and only a skeleton remained.

Three giant rats, licking their blood-stained tongues, still glinting with greed in their eyes.

It seems that the meaning is not enough.

Finally, they looked up into the distance together.

There, it was the direction in which Xiao Han's nine people left.

The crowd walked through knee-deep grass, and the surrounding landscape did not change significantly.

Xiao Han licked his somewhat dry lips and felt a fire in his throat.

The hunger pangs are getting worse.

The worst of them was thirst, which plucked out the mouths.

Everyone became discouraged.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Qiang suddenly stopped, gasped, and said, "I can't do it anymore." ”

Holding the wooden stick in his hand, his fat face was covered with sweat.

He liked to sweat, and he felt like he was going to be dehydrated, and the feeling of his dry mouth was too much for him to bear.

"What to do? I can't take it anymore, but looking at it now, even if I walk for another day and a night, I won't be able to find water. ”

Shi Lei wiped his face, swallowed his saliva again, and used it to moisten his thirsty throat.

Speaking of this, he glanced at Ma Jiaqi, a female student beside him, and couldn't help but say, "When is it, you still want to go to school with your schoolbag?" Hurry up and throw it away, lest it be dangerous to run away, and it will be more difficult to carry a big schoolbag. ”

Ma Jiaqi glanced at him, but did not speak, nor did she put down her schoolbag.

What she thought in her heart was that this schoolbag was full of books, which was equivalent to a shield, and carrying it behind her back was equivalent to carrying a shield, with an extra layer of security.

Behind what the eye can't see is the most dangerous place.

So she carried her schoolbag, not thinking about going back to school, but using it as a protective umbrella.

It's just that she doesn't even have the strength to explain to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei saw that she didn't listen to herself, shook her head, and didn't bother to say anything more.

Among the nine people at the moment, there are seven men and two women, in addition to Ma Jiaqi, there is also a woman, about twenty-three or four years old, named Wu Xinyi.

Wu Xinyi is a salesperson in a clothing store, she looks quite beautiful, and with her delicate makeup, she looks like a beauty.

It's just that at this moment she has words of suffering.

She is used to wearing high heels, and today she wore a pair of hated sky-high.

These haters had been lost when they had escaped from the turquoise python.

Now she's barefoot.

The stockings were worn out, and a pair of cute and small soles of feet were cut in several places.

There was a pain with every step, but now I could only grit my teeth and endure it.

What she regrets most now is that when she left before, she forgot to take off the shoes of the dead middle-aged woman and put them on herself.

Seeing that everyone was showing a depressed look, Xiao Han looked at Wang Tianyu beside him and whispered, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Tianyu took a deep breath before saying: "That Shi Lei is right, from the current point of view, I am afraid that I may not be able to find a water source in a short time...... All of us have consumed a lot of energy, and no one can say how long we will be able to support it. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The important thing now is to find a way to get water and food, if we don't get replenished, it won't be long before we will all be weakened by hunger and thirst, and finally ...... Step into death. ”

"Water...... Food ......" Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, and his mind suddenly flashed the vicious look that the giant rat was staring at him as he left.

"Let's rest here for a while."

Xiao Han spoke suddenly, leaned against the stone on the side, and sat down.

Wang Tianyu hummed and sat down beside him.

As far as the eye could see, there were towering trees and shrubs and piles of boulders that were more than ten feet high, which made them desperate.

Looking at the landscape, this area doesn't look like a place where water can be found quickly.

Nine people were scattered to rest on the spot.

In addition to Xiao Han, Wang Tianyu, Shi Lei, Liu Qiang, Ma Jiaqi, and Wu Xinyi.

The remaining three are Fang Hongtao, a man in his thirties who is black and thin, and he is the small owner of the cigarette hotel.

There is also a short and fat young man, in his twenties, named Ye Jun, who is a civil servant and has only been working in the sub-district office for a short time.

The last one was a man in his forties, named Zhao Tian, who wore a hat because of severe hair loss and a piece of hair on the top of his head was gone.

Zhao Tian works in an insurance company and is a middle-level leader.

Fang Hongtao put the wooden stick to his lap and took out a cigarette and lighter from his clothes pocket.

I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

The smoke was exhaled, forming smoke rings.

He looked at the smoke ring, his eyes a little confused.

Under the double pressure of death and hunger, he looked extremely nervous, but now he felt dazed and relieved.

Even thinking about dying in this smoke seems to be a good choice.

At least he didn't have to worry about it, and he didn't have to endure the hunger and thirst that tormented him at this moment.

Thinking of his own ridiculous thoughts, he smiled bitterly at himself.

I thought of my wife and lovely daughter again.

My daughter is only three years old.

He can't die, he must go back to them alive.

Suddenly, the grass around him moved.

A gray shadow suddenly came into view.

He was shocked and was about to say something.

There was a "click" in his throat, and a chill sucked into his trachea.

Then, he coughed loudly, and blood foamed out of his mouth.

The mouth was full of blood.

He was bitten open by a giant rat that jumped out of the grass and fell to the ground.

The half-smoked cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.
