Chapter 12: Restlessness
Although there is not much food, it finally fills the stomach, after eating, some people begin to look at the ruins outside in a daze, some people sleep with their eyes closed, the entire clothing store is always quiet, Shu Meng also leaned on Zhou Che's shoulder, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
As time went on, everyone's mood began to change a little, and they had been expecting a little bit of a rescue, but now they no longer had any expectations.
In addition, knowing the general situation outside, there is not much food, and it is difficult to find, and their hearts began to have a desperate mood again, and slowly took root...
The atmosphere around me has become extremely sad because of this...
But Zhou Che didn't have the heart to care about whether he was rescued or not, or whether he could find food, after calming down, all he could think of was the terrifying picture he saw when he went out to look for food.
Those corpses...
Looking back now, he is more and more sure that after this disaster, there are definitely some unknown things in Tang Cheng, not only those corpses, the large black creature he saw before, but also the wound on the child's head in the mother's arms and the child when he came here, if Zhou Che still thinks that everything is just an illusion caused by nervous tension, then he must be a fool.
Those falling balls of light were extremely strange, and many things after that were also beyond his cognition, even if he didn't understand and didn't want to believe them, but these things did happen to him, and they were his own experience!
"Those balls of light, they must not be meteorites, there must be some monsters, those corpses are caused by monsters gnawing! These monsters eat people! Will... The big animal I saw was a mouse?! ”
Nowadays, the development of science and technology has led to the rapid development of human life, bringing a lot of convenience, but at the same time, it has also brought a lot of pollution that cannot be eliminated, which has led to many animals have different degrees of mutation, and it is not a strange thing that a mutated rat appears.
Maybe it was these balls of light that smashed down and destroyed its hiding place, so that it escaped from the ground...
Thinking of this, his breathing suddenly became short, as if he had seen part of the truth, but soon, he rejected this idea.
"It's unlikely, not to mention whether rats will eat people, and it's not unusual for a mutated giant rat to appear, but there can't be a group, right? Don't... Is there really a monster?! ”
A stirring spirit in his heart, he suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, if there was really a monster, then let alone go to his parents according to the previous plan, his life was threatened all the time, once this matter was confirmed, it would definitely be much more difficult to find food than now.
At that time, no one will be willing to risk their lives to find food for others, they can only wait for death in hunger, and because they don't know where those things are, when and where they will appear, the hearts of these survivors will be filled with panic all the time!
It is more likely that the contradictions between each other have intensified, and before those monsters appear, they have already killed each other.
raised his head and glanced at Fang Yuan, but saw that he was also frowning, his eyes were blank, and his expression was a little irritable.
He doesn't have a good solution.
Only the five of them know about this matter, although a few people decided not to tell them, but this is only temporary, tomorrow when the other team goes out to look for food, although it may not be encountered, but it will definitely find something wrong, after a long time, it is impossible not to know...
And now, no one found out that their state was wrong, and the silence of Zhou Che and the others, in their opinion, should be too little gain, they have worked hard for so long, and after coming back, they have experienced such a small episode as Cheng Yuanyuan, and no one will have a good face.
"Hopefully, it's just me thinking too much..."
Although he hoped that these were just his fantasies, he knew better that these fantasies did not come out of thin air.
Shaking his head, he sighed lightly in his heart, he didn't think about it anymore, and then closed his eyes, although the wound on his right hand had been treated, his body was still a little weak, and he was a little tired during this time.
After a long wait, night fell...
I don't know if the entire power grid of Tang City has been destroyed, not only Pearl Square, the whole Tang City looks dark, there is no light at all, in the clothing store, only the faint light of the mobile phone emits it, but it can't shine too far, this faint light is swallowed up by the endless darkness.
The cold wind howled more and more arrogantly, like countless souls crying, which sounded heart-wrenching, and the temperature had dropped a lot, and a chill swept in.
Some of them were asleep, and some of them were still awake, and no one made a sound, all of them had dull eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking, and the expressions on their faces were all different, but what was the same was that these people's faces were covered with a layer of shadow, which seemed to never be erased...
When the disaster came, they broke the original silence or comfortable life, and they couldn't react for a while, and they were also worried about their relatives and friends, but they had no way to look for it, they could only wait here, waiting for the ethereal and hopeless rescue...
In this silence, the night passed quickly...
...
The next morning, the time on my phone was half past nine.
The fog outside seems to have dissipated a little, and it seems that the distant scenery is much clearer than yesterday, but the sky is still gray, and there is still no sunlight shining down, and the temperature in the air has risen slightly compared to the night, but it is still cold to the bone...
Today it should be the turn of the second group to go out to look for food, Fang Yuan gave a general description of their route yesterday, and asked them to look in different directions, first, maybe there will be more gains, and second, he doesn't want them to see those corpses, at least not too early.
"The second group..." Wang Yu stood up, his tone was calm, his face was calm, just from his appearance, in fact, he couldn't see how irritable his temper was, but with the previous scene of slapping Hu Youwei without saying a word, everyone was a little jealous of him.
So when he just spoke, the people in the second group had all stood up.
"It's our turn to find food today, let's get ready and set off immediately!" Wang Yuren is relatively lean, but his voice sounds very tough, unlike Fang Yuan's persuasive gentleness, his voice has a kind of masculinity, with a hint of oppression...
In fact, there is no need to prepare, all the members of the second group each take a backpack, and even if they are ready, they can go.
"Gone." After glancing at it, Wang Yu turned around and beckoned to a few people, and walked towards the door.
"Wang Yu!" Just as he walked to the door and was about to push the door out, Fang Yuan suddenly stopped him, his voice was not loud, but at this moment, no one around was talking, and he could hear it more clearly.
"Be careful, no matter how much food you find, everyone will come back early."
Nodding, Wang Yu frowned slightly, but in the end, he still didn't say anything, took a deep look at Fang Yuan, pushed the door out, and the four people behind him also didn't say a word, and hurriedly followed.
Fang Yuan was not a verbose person, he actually wanted to remind Wang Yu just now that there might be potential dangers in the ruins outside, and wanted him to be careful, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say anything in the end.
Soon, with their departure, the store was quiet again.
During this period of time, the three clerks and the woman holding the child were all silent in a daze, and never spoke, if it weren't for Zhou Che occasionally looking over there, he would have almost forgotten that there were still these people in the store.
And Cheng Yuanyuan at the moment, I don't know what she thinks in her heart, at this time, she is still in the mood to hold the foundation box and makeup mirror, and she is carefully putting on makeup...
In addition to a few of them, Shu Meng was also leaning on Zhou Che's shoulder in a deep sleep, the hat of the big cotton jacket covered his head, and the sleeping Shu Meng looked like his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips were slightly pursed, which was also very cute, but Zhou Che didn't have the slightest heart to appreciate it at the moment, and his mind was full of the scene he saw yesterday.
"The people of the second group went out looking for food, and I don't know where they will go, whether they will encounter corpses like that..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Che looked up, but happened to see Fang Yuan coming and going towards him, his face was extremely worried, and he shook his head slightly at him, not knowing whether to let him not worry and not think about it, or not to say these things.
glanced down at Shu Meng next to her, but saw that she had woken up, but her head did not move, her eyes were open, she noticed her movements, and looked up here.
"What's wrong?" Rubbing his eyes, Shu Meng asked blankly.
She was already a little cute as her name, but at the moment she was wrapped in a man's big cotton jacket, and her wide hat almost covered half of her head, making her look even more petite and delicate...
"It's fine." Shaking his head, Zhou Che was a little absent-minded.
Shu Meng could also see that Zhou Che had something in his heart, but at this time, it was impossible for anyone to have no thoughts in their hearts, whether it was about this disaster, the situation of relatives and friends, or what to do in the future...
She wanted to ask Zhou Che what was going on in her heart, but in the end her lips moved, and she still didn't speak.
After more than an hour of waiting, not many people spoke, at most a few simple conversations, and from beginning to end, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, as if there were no other survivors around this Pearl Square, and as if they had been isolated from the world, and other people were no longer in the same world!
