A large amount of blood splattered out, and the surrounding mud-stained weeds were stained red. The mutant creature let out a terrified "whining" sound, and the lips that had been pressed together were constantly foaming with blood. The opening in the neck was too large, and it was disconnected on the spot, and all kinds of filthy liquid gushed out along with the air. Its body trembled all the time, and then slumped in the young man's hands.

He made a very strange action that Cao Xinneng couldn't understand———— the blade of the knife plunged into the head of the mutant creature, pried open the skull, dug out a little from behind the pink brain, and put it into a small medicine bottle.

Holding the hand that the young man stretched out towards him, Cao Xinneng stood up from the mud in embarrassment, and asked with gratitude and surprise, "Who are you?" ”

He's not alone.

A very beautiful girl was running this way.

Hell, on such a cold day, she was wearing black leather shorts with just a pair of very thin brown cotton tights underneath. The upper body is wearing a sleeveless denim fabric vest, but inside is a silk camisole shirt.

Isn't she cold?

"My name is Liu Tianming."

The young man looked up and down at Cao Xinneng, who had unkempt hair and dirty all over his body, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

It's easy to understand. There are no villages or towns nearby, and there are no cities, and there is wilderness everywhere. A man pushing a bicycle and wandering in the field with a gun is noteworthy in itself.

"I'm a worker in the iron ore mine over there."

Cao Xinneng took a breath, turned sideways, and pointed towards the gray mountain range hidden in the depths of the rain in the distance: "A lot of man-eating monsters suddenly appeared on the mine, and we escaped all the way. There was a dirt road, but it was full of people. I don't know what happened, but some people suddenly change as they walk. It's messy, and there are people who take the opportunity to grab things. Several of the brothers who escaped with us were bitten to death, and there was really no choice but to leave the main road and find another place. ”

Zheng Xiaoyue had already run closer. She stretched out the umbrella in her hand and covered Liu Tianming and Cao Xinneng. Although the umbrella is large, it is impossible to block all three people inside. Her entire back was wet, and the rain was sliding down the smooth fabric.

Liu Tianming moved the umbrella towards Zheng Xiaoyue, his eyes did not take his eyes off Cao Xinneng, and asked suspiciously: "You guys?" ”

Cao Xinneng glanced at Zheng Xiaoyue very gratefully, and nodded again and again: "There are still three of us, not far ahead." ”

A hint of vigilance flashed in Liu Tianming's eyes: "It's all your family?" ”

Cao Xinneng shook his head: "It's a worker in the mine." There was also a woman who cooked for us in the mine. When you escape, you don't care so much, as long as you can live. ”

After a pause, Cao Xinneng hesitated and asked, "That...... Do you have anything to eat? Or, is there a lighter? ”

Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue didn't speak, and looked at him together.

Cao Xinneng's attitude and tone were very sincere: "There is a person over there who is sick, very sick, and has been coughing. We ran out of food and couldn't make a fire. I've got to find a way to save him. ”

Seeing that the other party did not move, Cao Xinneng gritted his teeth and handed over the Bayi bar rifle on his chest: "That's it!" I will not take your things for nothing. This gun has four more bullets, I'll exchange it with you, okay? ”

Liu Tianming looked at him calmly: "How many guns and bullets do you have?" If I could, I'd like to change it a little more. ”

Cao Xinneng showed an embarrassed wry smile on his face: "There is also a pistol, and the bullets are only six." However, that's Lao Li's thing. Give this gun to you, and I'll really have nothing left. ”

Zheng Xiaoyue asked curiously next to her: "Then you still want to change?" ”

Cao Xinneng took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "You can't watch others die alive and sick, and do nothing!" ”

Liu Tianming felt that something soft in his body was touched by this sentence. He thought for a few seconds and nodded: "I'll go over with you and have a look, let's take a look first." ”

……

Cao Xinneng walked ahead with a mud-stained bicycle, Liu Tianming walked slowly, and Zheng Xiaoyue jumped through the grass to avoid the rutted marks that had been filled with rain.

Along the way, Liu Tianming learned a lot from Cao Xinneng.

The place where he worked was a small iron mine. Of course, it's not the kind of place where the black-hearted miners dig indiscriminately, but only the smaller mining sites. There were not many people in the mine, less than two hundred. The degree of mechanization is not high, just because the ore layer is closer to the ground, and the ore excavation is more convenient.

Cao Xineng's education level is not high, and people who work hard don't need to know too many words. It is enough to be able to write your name, know how much you should be paid each month, and know the size of those numbers on the banknote.

"Those monsters appeared out of nowhere, I really don't know where they came from."

"At first, they didn't run back and walked very slowly. It's already possible to catch up. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have survived today. Either way, thank you very much. ”

He spoke all the way, the temperature of his mouth condensed into a mist. Liu Tianming listened silently and said nothing. Zheng Xiaoyue is more lively, constantly asking various questions. In this process, Cao Xinneng has not noticed, and they always quickly exchange glances when they haven't noticed.

Guo Yongzhi really left Liu Tianming with too profound a lesson.

He can't be taken in by anyone now, and he can't just be included in the team.

Cao Xinneng left a very good impression on Liu Tianming. Especially the words he said that he was willing to exchange guns for food, which quickly increased his score in Liu Tianming's mind.

Giving up weapons at such a time, just for others to exchange for food, I really don't know if Cao Xin can be stupid? Or should I say that he is too simple?

Probably because Cao Xinneng, who has been a squad leader in the mine, has formed a habit and feels that taking care of workers is a duty. He didn't really think about it that much, and just did what he thought of.

Under Liu Tianming's gaze, Zheng Xiaoyue took out a ham sausage from her backpack and handed it to Cao Xinneng.

This simple action made Cao Xinneng feel a burst of surprise.

"Oops! Thank you so much. Thank you so much. ”

There was a hungry light in his eyes, and both Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue saw his Adam's apple swaying up and down, obviously swallowing saliva. Cao Xinneng held the sausage tightly in his hand, and his excited body was trembling. He thanked him vigorously, but did not tear the package, but desperately controlled the strong desire to eat the food.

Liu Tianming glanced at him: "Lao Cao, aren't you hungry?" ”

Cao Xinneng subconsciously wanted to answer the word "hungry". When the words came to his lips, he held back again. He reluctantly took one last look at the golden cartoon lion on the red plastic package of ham sausage, swallowed his saliva, and put the sausage into his coat pocket with the resoluteness and awe-inspiring of heroic righteousness.

"Let's leave it to Chen Zhuo! If he doesn't eat anymore, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on. ”

Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue glanced at each other, and they both saw surprised glances in each other's eyes.

Of course, Zheng Xiaoyue's backpack could not contain only one ham sausage.

Cao Xinneng said before: It's very messy now, and it's hard to get food.

Liu Tianming is not an idiot who will take the initiative to walk over and distribute food no matter who he meets. If it weren't for hearing the gunshots, he wouldn't have run over to rescue Cao Xinneng from the walking corpse. What's more, this honest and honest miner feels very good. At least he didn't cheat and try to exchange worthless rags for food.

It can be seen that Cao Xinneng has obviously been hungry for a long time.

One day?

Or two days?

In this case, he could still bear it, and he didn't swallow the ham sausage handed over by Zheng Xiaoyue.

This guy is really interesting.

Anyway, let's follow him over and have a look. If these people are of decent quality, Liu Tianming will very much welcome them to join his team.

……

It's a rolling hill. The red dirt was soaked in rain and gathered in low-lying places, like blood mixed with too much garbage. There are stones everywhere, and they don't show much of the soil, and the highest is about half a meter. It is dense and spreads all over the wilderness.

This special terrain environment is not conducive to plant growth. Except for the low shrubs and weeds, there is no trace of tall trees in sight. Even those stones, a large part of them are buried deep in the ground. You can't dig them out by hand, or pick them up. They have a variety of shapes, with clear traces of dissolution on their surfaces. If there were no weeds scattered between crevices and dirt, you would think that this was not some wilderness, but some long-abandoned ore slag dump.

A lonely stone house stands on the hillside. It was supposed to be a makeshift resting place that the shepherds had built for themselves. Goats are not picky eaters, they survive on a few plants that grow in the crevices of the rocks, and they grow a lot of fat. Cao Xinneng has been trying to see if he can find a lone sheep nearby, but he has found nothing. He even envied the silly animals: if he could change their recipes like them, he wouldn't be bothered by hunger.

It is said to be a house, but it is actually a simple shack.

A plump middle-aged woman sits at the door of a shack.

She was wearing a blue cloth overalls, and the wide sizing indicated that the dress was clearly not hers. The black pants were covered in mud, and the black cloth shoes were dirty. She wasn't actually fat, but her waist was covered by oversized clothes, and her fat hips and breasts made her look thick up and down. This is probably the appearance that is most in line with the aesthetic views of the older generation: a big butt means good birth, **plump means a lot of milk, and the baby born can be full.
