Chapter 10: Strange Corpses
"Woo~"
On the empty ruins, the cold wind was constantly whistling, the sound of the wind was like a ghost crying, and the surrounding white fog was constantly rolling by the cold wind, making the atmosphere here very weird.
Several people tightened their clothes, and Zhou Che's right hand was injured, but fortunately, the sleeves of this padded jacket were relatively large, and they could be put in, so they would not be affected, and they would not freeze.
Because of the impact of the ruins, the speed at which they advanced was not very fast, and they had not gone far until now, according to the area of Tang City, they had walked at most one-fifth.
Another ten minutes have passed, and half an hour has passed since they came out, but they still haven't gained much, their backpacks are still empty, and there is nothing left in the few surviving buildings, and the things they have found are still a little nervous to be distributed to a dozen people.
After looking for so many places, they didn't see a single living person, it seemed that the number of survivors gathered in Tang City was less than they imagined, and Zhou Che and the others felt a little desolate in their hearts.
The living people were not found, but they saw a lot of corpses, and the ones pressed on the side of the ruins were all broken and unrecognizable, Zhou Che was okay, he had seen a lot along the way, and even saw someone commit suicide in a very brutal way in front of him, although there was still throbbing in his heart, but he was also adapted.
The biggest reaction was Yang Wenfeng, the moment he saw the first corpse, his body couldn't stop trembling, his face was pale, and it was difficult to see the extreme, so Zhou Che was even more sure of his previous thoughts.
It's just that now, although those scenes have greatly stimulated their nerves, they don't have the heart to care about these now...
There is another problem, that is, their energy consumption, until now, they have been more than 20 hours, nearly a day without eating, plus this half an hour of searching, the consumption is also very large, and if this continues, it is estimated that the gains outweigh the losses, and how much energy can be replenished by the harvested things may not be enough for their consumption.
And Hu Youwei and Jiang Tao are even more unbalanced in their hearts, their faces are a little ugly, they are hungry at the moment, but those people are squatting there waiting to eat, the things they found are still not edible, they must go back and distribute this small number of things to them, and even when they feel that they take these things back, some people will doubt themselves...
It seems like it's a completely thankless task...
"Let's look for it for a while, if we really don't have anything, we'll go back early, and if there are fewer things, there will be less, there is no other way."
Fang Yuan was also a little helpless, the current situation seemed to be a little different from his original thoughts, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find food in a place like Pearl Square.
Originally, he also planned that if he could find a surviving supermarket or something like that, he could go back and bring everyone here, and no matter how bad it was, he could search everywhere and accumulate a lot, but he didn't expect that Pearl Plaza had become like this!
It's almost a dead city!
A few people nodded, and there was no other way.
However, just as the group was about to move on, suddenly, a voice came from a nearby ruin.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
"Mouse?!" No one was unfamiliar with this voice, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw nothing but undulating ruins.
But Zhou Che was shocked here, thinking of the black behemoth...
Is it a rat...
"Hehe, these rats are still alive and well..."Jiang Tao said with a smile.
"Alright, don't worry about it!" Fang Yuan said lightly, and then he didn't pay attention to it, and the few people turned around and continued to walk forward.
It was just that they didn't go far, and everyone stopped, looking not far ahead, and their faces turned pale.
I saw a corpse on a ruin in front of me.
There was nothing unusual about corpses appearing here, although they hadn't seen them before, but they had seen a lot of them along the way, and they had all gotten used to it.
But the corpse in front of her is really terrifying, her head is missing half of it at the moment, and the remaining half of her face is also full of coagulated blood, and she can't see her expression, but in Zhou Che's senses, it is definitely twisted and hideous.
Judging by the long hair and some rags of clothing, this is a woman, the wound on her head, it looks like flesh and blood is blurry, and it doesn't look like it was caused by something, it's more like... Bitten!
In addition to the head, her whole body is even more terrifying, her body has almost been eaten away, only some residual scraps of flesh hang on her bloody skeleton, and the whole person is no longer human!
On the ruins next to her corpse, blood splattered the ruins and stained the ruins a dark red.
This is definitely being attacked by something!!
A strong fishy smell filled the air, and it smelled very disgusting, even Fang Yuan's body was trembling slightly at the moment, and there was a rare amount of fear on his face...
"Gross!" Hu Youwei couldn't bear it at first, and threw up directly, Yang Wenfeng's body trembled even more, his head was even more dizzy, Jiang Tao had no sound at the moment, his lips trembled, his face was bloodless, the only thing that was okay here was Zhou Che.
But even Zhou Che, who has seen a lot of this kind of scene, has a blank head and hasn't come back to his senses for a while!
When he first woke up, the blood-colored stream and the crimson mire in the seepage pit were even more shocking than this, but that scene was completely different from this corpse!
One is more shock than fear, and the other... It is a complete and deep fear to people!
It's bloody!
It's horrible!
The cold wind was howling, and it seemed to have turned into a yin wind at the moment, although several people were wearing very heavy clothes, but they were also cold all over their bodies, and they always felt that there was something deadly around them staring at them, making their blood a little coagulated.
The horror of this woman's death can be said to have reached the limit that people can bear, and it extremely impacted people's nerves, and soon, Jiang Tao couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the side and vomited.
"There's still one over there!" Yang Wenfeng's voice trembled, and he suddenly pointed not far ahead, and several people looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly froze.
On the ruins not far away, there are still a few corpses, both men and women, and it looks like the woman in front of them is extremely terrifying, and there is a skeleton left...
For two minutes, all five of them stood in place, at a loss, until a sharp cry of a mouse sounded again.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
The voice was extremely sharp and harsh, and Fang Yuan and the others quickly reacted, and their faces changed.
"Let's go! Let's hurry back! Fang Yuan let out a low voice, turned around and left, and the other few people didn't dare to stay any longer, following Fang Yuan, the direction they were coming and going, and quickened their pace.
The situation has become more and more weird, it was like this before, and now, after seeing these corpses, they are even more sure, not to mention that something is at work, at least the world is no longer as safe as before!
Not to mention the strange environment, now even the cries of these rats, Fang Yuan and the others were a little suspicious, although it sounded like the sound of rats, but they didn't see them at all, not even one!
And in their hearts, they also began to wonder if those things were rats or not!
Rats don't eat people, and they don't have the ability to do that!
When they each had ideas in their hearts, Zhou Che was different from them here, and he was almost certain now, these things must be related to the large animal he saw when he came to Pearl Square!
Call...
What the hell is it...
A few people may have been too flustered in their hearts, until the end, almost all of them ran on the ruins, at a fast speed, and it didn't take long for them to finally breathe a little relief when they saw the clothing store where they were hiding.
"Listen, let's not tell them about this first, so as not to disturb people's hearts, what's more, we don't have much food now, and we're a little nervous to support the day, they have to come out tomorrow to find food, if they know these things, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Nodding, Fang Yuan said so, and several people knew it in their hearts, Yang Wenfeng didn't talk much, Jiang Tao was more ghostly, and Hu Youwei couldn't say it because of Wang Yu's matter, Zhou Che also understood the seriousness of the matter, so naturally he wouldn't speak...
Soon, several people were back in the store.
The people inside should have already seen them come back, and they were all a little commotion at the moment, but when they saw that Zhou Che's five people's faces were not very good-looking, they also realized that this harvest should not be very good, but they were really hungry.
"You... How, find food? As soon as I entered the door, someone asked impatiently.
"Yes, but not much, the situation outside is a little worse than we thought, and food will be more difficult to find." Fang Yuan calmed down and said lightly.
Everyone's faces are a little not good...
Without too much expectation, in the complicated eyes of everyone, Fang Yuan took the backpacks of Zhou Che and the others, found an open space in the middle of the store, and then poured out all the things, only a small pile, because they were searched everywhere, there were all kinds of bread and biscuits, and it seemed that more than a dozen people were really nervous.
"That's all there is to it?" Cheng Yuanyuan frowned.
Glancing at her, Jiang Tao and Hu Youwei, and even Yang Wenfeng, who didn't have much thought, frowned, but in the end, no one said anything.
"Divide it, more than a dozen of us, evenly distributed."
Fang Yuan said, as soon as the words fell, Cheng Yuanyuan stood up.
"No! I disagree! Her tone was hard and cold, and her expression was stiff.
Swish!
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on her, Jiang Tao reacted even more, and even before Cheng Yuanyuan could say anything, a trace of anger appeared on his face, this woman, he could probably guess what she wanted to say...
