Chapter 29: Hunger
The church was burned to the ground, and when the fire gradually became smaller and dissipated, Meng Yu carried the body of his teammate Feng Huan out of the church at Xu Rui's insistence.
Ni Ya put her coat on Feng Huan's corpse, a little unbearable.
Before her death, she had a cold appearance, but she was gentle and responsible. But now, the young girl has turned into a horrible charred corpse.
"Just bury it here, Feng Huan, she died so ...... Hey, you have to bury it decently. Xu Rui sadly chose a woodland near the lake, and Meng Yu and Ni Ya helped him, and the three of them buried Feng Huan's body together.
And Zhou Qiong, as the person closest to Feng Huan before his death, always squatted next to him without saying a word. There was no sparkle in her big eyes, and she couldn't see any other emotion, not even sadness.
Since seeing the true face of the ghoul, this poor girl seems to have received a great mental impact, coupled with Feng Huan's death, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back, at this moment she fell into a state of delirium, and there was an obstacle to the cognition of the external environment and her own situation, in Liu Dequan's words - she was crazy.
In the evening, everyone gathered around the villa.
The firewood in the fireplace crackled, and the orange-red yellow light reflected on everyone's faces, illuminating their expressions very clearly. At this time, most people's expressions were extremely gloomy, Yin Xiong sat in the corner without saying a word, staring at the sharp blade in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking; Lin Jie always had a smiling expression, sat by the stove with his knees crossed, and threw a handful of firewood into the stove.
Xu Rui's wound has been simply bandaged and treated, but in order to protect Zhou Qiong, he was seriously burned when he escaped, because there was no professional person at the scene to give him first aid treatment, now he is hot all over, and he has a low-grade fever.
Ni Ya dipped a cotton swab in water and applied it to his chapped lips, and then changed the wet towel and applied it to his head. After doing this, she sighed, pulled the blanket on Xu Rui's body, and then went to wipe the dirty Zhou Qiong on the side.
Zhou Qiong still didn't come out of the daytime incident. At this time, the ends of her ponytail had been scorched a lot, and there were slight burns on her arms and legs, but because she was protected by Xu Rui, the injuries were not serious.
Ni Ya wiped the ashes off her face, combed her hair, and handed the clean water to Zhou Qiong: "You cheer up, if you still want to continue to live......
"Dead, all dead, all of us will die...... Sister Feng, no, don't eat me......" Zhou Qiong curled up in the corner in horror, as if she didn't understand what Ni Ya was saying at all.
"You take care of them." Ni Ya got up and said hello to Meng Yu, who had entered the house with water.
The man nodded sullenly and thanked her. Ni Ya looked back at Xu Rui, who was in a coma with a high fever, and Zhou Qiong, who was delirious, and only felt that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Although these two people are not her teammates, she has seen what the other party has done these days. Xu Rui is enthusiastic and righteous, and Zhou Qiong is also an innocent and kind girl.
As for Feng Huan......
Thinking of the other party's appearance before her death, Ni Ya only felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
She sat next to Liu Dequan and asked bluntly: "Feng Huan's death, did you really do it?" ”
"Xiaoya, don't listen to their nonsense!" Liu Dequan flatly denied it: "It was that woman who affected her companions, and it has nothing to do with me!" How can you listen to the nonsense of outsiders? I'm your teammate! ”
He spoke quickly, with a sworn look in his eyes, not at all like he was lying. Ni Ya didn't know much about Liu Dequan, and she hadn't paid attention to each other in the space before, so she was a little hesitant for a while.
It's just that she knows that in addition to the people who can be trusted in the mission, except for herself, only the captain Li Zeyan is left in the entire second district. Ni Ya can trust him as a person, if Li Zeyan is present today, no matter which side he stands on, Ni Ya will unswervingly support him.
It's a pity that the other party has been missing for a long time, and his life and death are still uncertain.
Ni Ya also wondered if they would really die in the mountains as Liu Dequan and others said. Or maybe they've found a clue to their way out, or maybe even go to another unknown territory......
But now it's useless to think about this, whether it's Liu Dequan or Xu Rui, I haven't seen the scene that happened with my own eyes, and I really can't believe which side is telling the truth.
Ni Ya only knew that now that there had been an abnormal change in the fourth district, one dead and two injured, and now, the internal organization of the survivors was facing an extremely serious problem. Without the containment of the fourth district, Liu Dequan seems to be interested in supporting Lin Jie to take the position and let him be the captain.
And once this madman is in power, there is no guarantee that the other party will do anything.
"However, when I was running away today, I found a very serious problem." Liu Dequan seemed to be afraid that Ni Ya would continue to ask, so he immediately changed the topic: "That ghoul doesn't seem to be as afraid of fire as before." ”
"This means that the space constraints are starting to be lifted gradually." Lin Jie said with a cold face.
It won't be long before these ghouls emerge from the dark sewers and depths of buildings and emerge into the sunlight. At that time, without the protection of this last barrier, they who remain in the town will also be completely finished.
At night, Ni Ya lay on the floor wrapped in a blanket, her eyes staring at the ceiling above her head in a daze. From time to time, there was a feeling of colic in her abdomen, not only that, but she also felt a little dizzy, her brain was snow-white, her ears were buzzing, her limbs were weak, and she couldn't lift her spirit at all.
I'm so hungry.
Originally, her stomach had not been very good, but at this time, the stomach problem flared up again.
I haven't eaten anything in three days. In the past three days, everyone has been relying on drinking fruit stomachs, and the bark and weeds nearby have also been used by them to fill their stomachs, but smelling the fishy and sour taste, Ni Ya can't help but regurgitate not long after eating.
Coupled with today's daytime travel and long journeys, she felt more and more unwell. In the evening, when her companion was drinking weed soup, she did not eat anything, so she wrapped herself in a blanket and rested.
Now she has stomach problems, pain and hunger, and she can't sleep at night. Ni Ya was dripping with cold sweat, gritted her teeth and got up from the ground to find an iron pot, wanting to boil some hot water.
Tired, she poured the water from the bottle into the pot and watched as the water slowly boiled and bubble.
After the water is boiled, it still smells rusty. Especially for people who haven't eaten for a few days and have a dull mouth, drinking water will not relieve their hunger, but will make them miss the taste of food even more.
How nice it would be if there was a bowl of soup to drink......
Ni Ya thought so, her eyes were dark, and she finally couldn't support it and fainted.
