Chapter 293: Dependent on each other
Is it cruel?
At this time, night fell, it was the time to lie down in the bed and sleep peacefully, but in this environment, some refugees who were like lonely ghosts poured into the ruins, and in front of them, there were a broken corpses, what was their purpose, the answer was simply about to come out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cannibalism.
It's a very bright red word.
These people are not under the command of Xing Jun, and naturally they can't enjoy the kind of brothers who died for me, and I also take care of the welfare of my siblings.
All this in front of you is the truest portrayal of the end of the world.
Nominally, they were the people of the town, and they were given daily food, but most of that food was rotten, either hairy or hard, and the quantity was so scarce that it could not meet the daily needs of the refugees.
In terms of force, they are just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't go outside to hunt for food, and in terms of morality, the superiors don't justifiably abandon them, even if the food is a little worse, a little less, they are still provided every day, eat a bad stomach, or starve to death, you can only blame you for your poor resistance and too big an appetite.
Driven by this, some refugees had no choice, and in order to live, they set their sights on the corpses on the side of the road.
What is the most important thing in the end times?
It's not water, it's not collapsed tall buildings, it's not gold all over the ground, it's ...... Countless dead and corpses.
It's a ritual, and it's a carnival for the refugees, who come out of their homes at nightfall and come to the other side of the city, a ruined dead city to devour their kind.
"Is this human?"
The little empress was stunned, looking at the refugees in front of her, who even had some green light in their eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, she raised her head to look at Yang Shuo, and asked softly.
"Humans are really complex creatures, and your favorite thing to do is to kill each other, and along the way I've seen many bugs or beasts die of their companions, and they won't devour them, but you ...... But they are still killing each other, I didn't see the future and the dawn you said, I didn't see the mutual benefit and mutual assistance you said, is my eyes not good? Or what is the reason? Human beings are originally the cancer of this world, and you should be annihilated in the long river of history. ”
The little empress is not wrong, some insects and beasts are not as complex as humans because of their intelligence, and as their own kind, they will not devour their dead companions, and even find a soft place to bury them.
But human beings are different, compared to those who are not sapient, human emotions are more complex, and in order to live, they will even do things that even they feel terrible.
For example...... Cannibalism.
Yang Shuo's face was expressionless, whether it was the taunts of the little empress or the devouring of these refugees, he had never lost his mood in the slightest, he had seen too many such scenes, from nausea, confusion, hesitation to gradual adaptation and numbness, Yang Shuo's heart was far more tenacious than he imagined.
How sad, if they don't push people to the limit, how can these refugees rely on corpses to replenish their strength?
If you have to find a culprit, then if you want to complain, you can blame this chaotic era, under the end of the world, human nature begins to distort, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, perhaps, from the time these people eat the first bite of human flesh under extreme hunger, they ...... It can't be considered human anymore......
…………………………………………
The other side of the ghost town.
The two figures walked forward on the ground with difficulty, and a series of solid and clear footprints were left behind them.
That's two children!
A boy and a woman, the boy looks only fourteen or fifteen, and the girl looks even younger, only about ten years old.
Their eyes are deeply sunken, their eyes are gray, and their long-term nutritional deficiencies have made their appearance a little transformed, as if they have taken drugs, and some are out of shape.
It's hard to imagine such young children in such a hostile environment, tired and weak, but they don't pause in the slightest to continue looking for something in this ghost town.
The two children stopped, digging through the soft ground with simple tools, they were digging for a kind of minced meat, which did not taste very good, was astringent and bitter, but it was a food unique to the end of the world.
When the rainy season arrives, these minced meats grow in the soft soil.
"Brother, the food is getting less and less, will we starve to death?"
On the boy's side, the ten-year-old girl was exhausted, her thin little face was covered with dust, her eyelids were swollen with high black bags, obviously she hadn't had a good sleep recently, and her little hands had also scratched a lot of skin, and a trace of blood stretched out, but she didn't cry out about pain or hardship, just trembling her thin shoulders and asking the teenage man softly.
"Xiaojing! Don't talk nonsense, I can feel that we can find food in a moment, and if we hold on a little longer, we will find it in a moment! ”
The boy was equally haggard, but his eyes were unusually bright, and his tone was full of determination, he believed in miracles, and believed that what his mother had said was man-made.
Xu Fa, an ordinary boy of fourteen years old, said it more accurately, he was already a teenager, and he had lived alone in this apocalypse for so long, he had already bid farewell to his identity as a boy.
He is not an orphan, and under the care of his parents, he also read a happy childhood.
It's just that the end is ruthless, under a zerg attack, their parents were devoured by insects, and Xu Fa escaped with his sister, and since then he has lived this kind of uncertain life.
The miserable life did not make Xu Fa feel hopeless, on the contrary, the obsession of protecting Ah Mei made him full of fighting spirit, he believed in everything, believed that he could create miracles and make the impossible possible!
Xu Jing nodded, he firmly believed in everything that Brother said was true.
In this environment where death and gray are the main themes, the dependence of the brother and sister is the only motivation that can make each other have a life.
Although some food will be distributed in the city every day, it is not enough to fill the stomachs of the two of them, and the rest of the time, they will try their best to get some food, and this kind of minced meat is undoubtedly one of their recipes.
Xu Fa rarely interacts with strangers, and not far from them, some refugees are devouring corpses, a phenomenon that has long been a phenomenon in the night.
In times of extreme hunger, humans become insane.
Xu Fa had seen some refugees eat the body of a child who was weaker than them, not the corpse, and the child was even breathing when the food was shared.
This scene engraved a deep imprint in Xu Fan's mind, he deliberately stayed away from the crowd, he used to only rely on his sister for his life, he was not disgusted with the methods of those people, after all, he was just a child who grew up at the bottom, and he also had crazy desires and needs for food.
The reason why he stayed away from the crowd was just that he was afraid that those who were extremely hungry would attack him and Xiaojing, and now was not the time, at least, he needed to have the strength to resist and kill before he was qualified to divide the special "food" that looked disgusting and cold in the eyes of ordinary people.
Life is cruel.
Digging like the one now, they still need to go through a long time.
"Bang ......"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of digging in the ground not far away, accompanied by a slight dust, and it was a corpse beetle.
"Ahh Elder brother...... It's a bug! ”
Insects are inexhaustible, just like sparrows and grasshoppers in peacetime, these insects permeate all corners of the city, and the giant insects in residential areas have not been killed much, but in this kind of ghost town, it is inevitable that there will be some fish that slip through the net.
And right now, this bug, the size of a calf, is a midnight forager.
Xu Fa has seen the killing of insects, this is a powerful creature, covered in corpse spots, and has the strength to kill himself and Ah Mei in every move.
After Xu Jing saw the corpse spotted beetle, her face immediately turned pale with fright, and her small body trembled for a while, the corpse spotted beetle in front of her was so terrifying, especially the pair of worms, it was as sharp as a sickle!
"Brother, run!"
Xu Jing looked at Xu Fa and said tremblingly.
"No, we can't escape, this is Pinglu, we can't escape its tracking at all, Xu Jing, bury your head, it won't stay here for long, as long as it leaves, we will be safe."
The perennial wandering made Xu Fa learn to calm down, and at this time, a calm light burst out of his eyes, and he slowly lowered his head, hoping that the corpse beetle would leave as soon as possible.
During the four years of wandering, Xu Fa and Xu Jing have encountered countless crises, each time, they have survived without danger, and this time, Xu Fa is also full of confidence.
It's just that God didn't favor them this time.
"Squeak ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of insects not far away, accompanied by a slight dust, and the corpse spotted beetle with a black body and a length of half a meter appeared on the ruins, and the red insect eyes full of resentment and greed radiated an excited light, locking the two children!
"Brother, he found us!"
Looking at the galloping corpse spotted beetle, Xu Jing was terrified, her chest was as if a piece of ice had been placed, the cold was piercing, and her whole body trembled unconsciously.
"Damn it!"
Xu Fa didn't turn his head, but stared at the corpse beetle in front of him, he tightened the wooden stick in his hand, the wooden stick was rough and strong, and it was stained with blood, which was the blood that flowed out of his hands after he had been looking for food for a long time, and the blisters were blistered and broken.
