Chapter 149: The Most Beautiful Voice in the World
"Sister, I really can't walk, I'm so hungry......"
On the long high road, there are still sporadic survivors on the difficult trek to the imaginary paradise of the Yanmen base. Burn? Wen?? ???. r?a?n?? e?n`org
Two ragged young survivors walked with difficulty in the direction of the Yanmen base, and a sallow thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with a sallow face and a skinny body suddenly stopped, shouted in a weak voice, and then sat down on the ground.
A few meters in front of him, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who was also covered with few taels of meat and a hungry face, stopped hearing the sound.
Although the girl has been hungry for a long time due to malnutrition, her eyes are vaguely visible in the bright outlines of the past, but she has lost half of her luster because of hunger.
"Little brother, let's hold on a little longer, wait until we get to the first section and then rest, you see, there are a few rows of houses over there, maybe we can find something to eat!"
The girl stretched out her hand and pointed into the distance, and a row of ruined houses loomed by the side of the road a few miles away.
"But we walked all the way, and we didn't find anything to eat in the houses we passed by."
The boy sat cross-legged on the ground, his head drooping, and he obviously had no hope for the row of houses in front of him.
This is a normal thing, this high road is the only road leading to the base of the rock gate, even if there may have been food in these houses, it has long been looted by the previous survivors, where may it be their sibling's turn.
Of course, the girl also knew this, but in order to give herself and her brother a hope to move on, she had to encourage her brother with such a reason that she didn't believe.
"It's already afternoon, if we don't continue walking, in case we can't find a place to spend the night, we will encounter mutant beasts at night, and then we will be in danger."
The survivors living in the apocalypse, in addition to knowing that zombies are not easy to mess with, of course, also know that the biggest threat in the wild is from the elusive mutant beasts.
People like the sisters and brothers, who have no combat effectiveness, once they encounter mutant beasts. There is no second way to go other than to become the food in the belly of the mutant beast.
"Then let the mutant beast eat me, I'm hungry anyway, I don't have any strength at all."
The boy was so tired that he didn't want to move even a finger anymore. immediately said angrily.
Hearing the young man's angry words, a trace of sadness flashed in the girl's eyes, but she knew that in this last world, sadness was useless, so she pursed her lips tightly. Reaching for a moment in a small bag he was carrying, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a box of biscuits.
In the cookie box, all that was left was half a biscuit, and a few crumbs.
The girl took a few steps towards the young man, handed over the only remaining food in her hand, and said:
"Eat, we'll keep going."
The boy looked up at the shriveled cookie box in his sister's hand, and a flash of desperate hunger for food flashed in his eyes. He pursed his dry lips and swallowed the little spit in his mouth.
However, the young man shook his head resolutely: "No, I don't eat it, I ate all this box of biscuits, sister, you didn't eat anything yourself, I won't eat the rest." ”
A trace of tears flashed in the girl's eyes, and she handed the biscuit box in her hand to the young man, and said calmly:
"You eat, eat and we'll continue on our way. Good no good? ”
The boy looked at the biscuit box in his sister's hand again, and the longing in his eyes was even worse, but he finally overcame his craving for food, and shook his head again:
"Nope. I don't eat! Sister, you eat it yourself! ”
The girl nodded, put the cookie box back in the bag, and reached out to pull the boy.
"Alright then, we won't eat now, and we'll eat together when we find a place to rest. Good no good? ”
The boy raised his head and looked at his sister's outstretched dry arm, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he slowly stretched out his hand and slowly stood up with the strength of his sister's pull.
On the desolate and dilapidated high road, the sister and brother took difficult steps and continued to move in the direction of the Yanmen base.
The two had just walked out of more than ten meters, and the young man behind him suddenly changed his face, stretched out his hand and pointed to the forest not far from the roadside, and shouted in horror:
"Sister, wolf...... Wolves, there are wolves! ”
Hearing the boy's shout, the girl's face immediately showed a look of horror, and she immediately saw that in the bushes in front of the right under the road, a lone wolf covered in blue-gray and with a huge body like a big buffalo broke through the branches and leaves in the forest and rushed towards the side where they were.
"Run! Little brother, run! ”
Turning back suddenly, the girl took the boy's hand and ran for her life on the road from which she had come.
However, how fast can the two people who have no strength in their bodies because of long-term hunger be able to run?
In the ears of the sisters and brothers, there was gradually a "swish" sound of the giant wolf behind them quickly sweeping over the branches and leaves of the bushes, and the extreme fear made the last bit of potential in the sisters and brothers' bodies completely burst out, and the middle of the run was actually improved.
The hearts of the two siblings have been occupied by deep despair at this moment, and they know that with only their two tired and weak legs, how can they outrun a mutated giant wolf?
"Sister, I don't want to die! Woohoo......"
The great fear and despair made the young man's mind collapse in an instant, and he suddenly staggered forward and fell to the ground, crying loudly, and was unable to get up again and continue running.
The girl's heart was in a hurry, but she couldn't pull up her brother who was lying on the ground no matter what, and at this moment her strength was finally defeated by the great danger, and the big tears in her eyes rolled down.
"Little brother, get up quickly, woo...... Get up—"
The giant wolf behind her chased closer and closer, and the girl couldn't help crying loudly, at this moment, in the face of such a situation, she was also in chaos, and she didn't know what to do.
"Buzz ......"
Suddenly, a low sound of a car engine came faintly from the bend ahead, and it was so surprising and exciting to the girl's ears, just like the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Little brother, get up quickly, someone is coming in front! We are saved! Whining...... Hurry up! ”
The boy apparently heard the roar of the car in front of him at the same time, and the original despair in his eyes was finally replaced by surprise, and he immediately stood up with a roll, let his sister take his hand, and began to run forward again.
As long as they support the car in front of them and are not chased by the giant wolf behind them, they have a certain chance of being rescued.
Of course, the premise is that they can hold on until that moment without being immediately overtaken by the giant wolf behind them, and the survivors in the car will be kind enough to save their lives.
However, as long as there is hope, you can't give up! (To be continued.) )
