Chapter 40: Seed No. 18

"Huh~Huh~Huh~~"

Suppressed gasps continued to sound in the small space, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at the beast wandering outside the gap. Take a deep breath and hold back, there is only the sound of two people's violent heartbeats in the small space.

The air grew more and more muddy, and sweat kept coming out of the skin of the two of them, absorbed by the wet and tattered clothes. But the sweat on his face was not wiped away, and he did not dare to wipe it, as long as he moved slightly, it would make a sound that broke the silence and attracted the beasts outside. One, two, three drops, eventually converge at the jaw, like rain, dripping on the cement and converging into a puddle.

Time passed minute by minute, Ding Mei never felt that time was so long, every minute and second seemed to be a few years in the past.

"Ah~~"

"Whoop~Roar~~"

At this moment, a murmur came from afar, upsetting the precarious balance, and the three beasts wandering outside the ruins glanced at the ruins, roared, and turned and ran towards the place where the sound had come from.

"Phew, ha... Survived! ”

Seeing the chasing beasts leaving the ruins through the narrow gap, Ding Mei turned around with difficulty and whispered to Wang Liping, who was holding the doorknob.

"They, they're gone?"

"Yes."

Wiping the sticky sweat droplets on her face, Ding Mei nodded fiercely and said to this friend who had only known her for a few days.

Hearing the definite answer, Wang Liping's tense body suddenly relaxed, and all the negative emotions such as exhaustion, discomfort, and hunger hit her heart, but running around in just one month also exercised her body and spirit, so that she would not collapse instantly.

"Can we still live?"

Looking at her dark and dirty thin palms, Ding Mei said dumbfoundedly. The food they had managed to collect from the rubble had been spilled on the way to escape, and even their only weapon, a modified long-handled bone chopping knife, was lost on the way.

Now there are two people, there is nothing left, only a sound of tattered clothes.

"Let's go and take refuge with those people!"

“...”

Wang Liping didn't speak, in fact, she was a little shaken in her own heart. Those people, those supermen, maybe they can shelter themselves, and if they go, they can have food and clothing, but wherever they go, their bodies are no longer their own, and when their legs are opened, they can't close all the time.

Is it possible that even the last dignity will be lost?

Living, without dignity, living like a dog, some people may say that the most important thing is to live, even if you sell everything, but the reason why people are human is because people have dignity and shame. If I lived like a dog, I would rather die!

"Go, where is the big tree, go and try it! If it's like what they say. If not, I'd rather kill myself!! ”

There was no fluctuation in her tone, only when she said death, Wang Liping's tone had a trace of waves, but it was fleeting.

"Okay, it's a big deal to die, so let's go down and accompany my father, mother, and sister."

It is said that seven days can change a person, then in just one month, Ding Mei has changed, and the cowardly character has become stronger, and the environment will change a person, not to mention the environment of the end of the world, and the person who chooses cowardice will be even more cowardly, and finally he will be paralyzed on the ground like a piece of rotten.

And those who choose to fight will become stronger and stronger, and move forward bravely, maybe such people will die faster and more miserably, but they must have no regrets.

Speaking of that huge tree, it also grew only a week ago, and it appeared in the center of the city's ruins overnight, three or four hundred meters high, and it can be seen clearly from thousands of meters away.

I don't know what this tree is for, Ding Mei and the others didn't explore, after all, they can't live anymore, what else are they talking about?

Some people died, some people quietly left at night, and of course there were those who slapped Wang Liping and turned away.

In the end, only Ding Mei, who was rescued by Wang Liping, and himself, were left.

At night, the moonlight shines on the earth, the lush plants sway with the breeze, and from a distance, it looks like a monster with teeth and claws, waiting for food to come to the door.

The light clouds, caressing the white silver moon, the shy moon shyly hid on the thin cloud's chest, the cloud's wide chest obscured the slightest light, the earth darkened, and the plants swaying in the wind became more and more terrifying, intimidating the induced super animals that regained their senses.

However, Ding Mei and Wang Liping did not have a trace of fear, and they said that they were afraid enough, and they were not afraid.

Following the severed arm, stepping past the plants growing on the road, dodging a few wild beasts, and enduring the large bag bitten by mutant mosquitoes, the two walked quietly to the big tree at midnight.

The closer they got to the tree, the more strange their bodies became, as if they were afraid of something, and a voice kept telling them two in their hearts, run, run.

Suppressing the uneasiness in their hearts and the desire to turn around and run away, the two poked their heads out and saw the strange trees in the bright moonlight. I also saw guards patrolling around with various weapons.

"I hope what he says is true!"

Leaning back against the wall and looking up at the slowly fluttering clouds in the sky, Wang Liping thought uncertainly.

"You're waiting for me here."

Turning her head and holding Ding Mei's shoulders with both hands, Wang Liping stared straight into her eyes and said slowly to Ding Mei.

"No, I'm not the same person I used to be, I won't hide behind you anymore, don't think about abandoning me!"

Holding Wang Liping's hand, Ding Mei stared back weakly, and said slowly but firmly.

"Okay, then they'll follow me!"

Pursing her lips, looking at her determined expression, Wang Liping agreed to Ding Mei.

Looking at a thick cloud in the distance, Wang Liping waited quietly, waiting for it to cover the moonlight.

Time passed in the distant roar of beasts and the sound of flies around me.

The darkness slowly swallowed the earth, and several torches swirled around the trunk of the tree.

"Who??"

An exclamation broke the silence of the night, and bright torches quickly gathered near the sound.

"They're here! Vomit..."

"Where?"

"Here, run again! vomit...."

The noise kept ringing, but no one caught the two intruders, after all, they were so ugly, like they were fished out of a pit, they emitted a disgusting smell, and I don't know how they could bear it.

"Stop them! Do so many people eat dry rice? ”

Loud voices kept coming out, and the conductor was chaotic with the crowd.

"Forget it!! Stop! ”

Liu Feng saw the two petite humanoid creatures, and saw that they had already touched the "No. 18 seed", so he gave up the idea of stopping them again.

A voice rang in their minds as the two of them touched the smooth trunk of the tree.
