Chapter 17: Encountering the Dead

Wei Yi walked all the way, and soon came to the place where the billboard was found yesterday. But what surprised him was that the grass that was obviously messed up by him yesterday had actually changed back to its original appearance in just one night.

If it weren't for the marks on the trees, he would have almost thought he was in the wrong place. The weeds, which were knee-high, looked even more lush than yesterday.

He carefully pulled open the grass and leaned down to examine the roots of the weeds. What surprised him was that the traces of the break were still clearly there, but the place where the break was broken had been completely healed.

"Well, that's too much. Even if a plant has the ability to heal itself, it shouldn't be completely restored in a day. There's got to be weird about that. He stretched out his hand, gently broke off a weed, held it up to his eyes, and observed it carefully for a long time.

Where the weeds broke, green juice overflowed, but nothing special happened. Wei Yi studied for a while, but didn't come up with anything famous. In the end, it was because I was worried about collecting supplies, so I didn't delve too deeply into the problem.

Therefore, after looking at it for a while, he saw that nothing unusual had happened, so he casually threw the broken branch to the ground and strode in the direction of Huainan City. What he didn't know was that the broken branch, which he had discarded at will, soon after it hit the ground, quickly plunged headlong into the soil, and took root again and grew into a new grass.

Wei Yu didn't know all this, he was wielding a wooden stick in one hand to clear the way, and picking up some found items from the ground from time to time in the other. Along the way, he found many abandoned cars and scattered supplies.

The cars all appear to have been hit violently. Each vehicle has varying degrees of damage. The most serious one, the sedan has been squeezed into a sedan. There was blood stains in the car, but there were no corpses left in it.

Wei Yi held a wooden stick and picked up waist-high weeds next to the car, constantly walking through the wreckage of these cars. Occasionally, you can find some packages scattered on the ground, and when you open it, you can see that they are all some evacuation materials.

He collected along the way and got a lot of things. Lighters, daggers, pots and pans, compressed biscuits, bags of dry food, and much more, just about it. But because of this, the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

If he remembers correctly, this is how people fled in droves when they were evacuated. And everything now seemed to tell him that the original evacuation had almost completely failed.

He didn't dare to think about it, because if that was the case, it would be terrible. A large city with a population of millions has completely disappeared in the blink of an eye. What an appalling thing that is.

He shook his head, dispelling the terrible image of his imagination, quickened his pace, and continued on his way. He needed to find some more food. There may be a long way to go, and he will have to store more food for the rest of his life.

He stopped and stopped along the way, and before he knew it, he had harvested two large bags of food. He packed all the food behind his back, and carried a large bag of pots and pans on his chest, and the whole person looked very bloated. He didn't know where he picked up a hat, put it on his head casually, carried a large bag in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, turned around and was about to walk back.

The sudden sound of "brushing and pulling" in the grass made him immediately alert. He turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and subconsciously asked, "Who?" Who's there? ”

The grass in the distance suddenly began to move, rushing farther away like a wave. Wei Yi caught a glimpse of a child in the grass from afar. He was surprised at first, and then he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It's great that there are still people alive." He didn't think about it, he chased after him with his things. The boy ran quickly and lifelessly into the distance through the grass. Wei Yi shouted while chasing after him: "Child, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Don't run, there's glass on the ground, in case it gets stuck and it's hard to deal with. ”

But the boy didn't seem to hear it, and still ran for his life. Wei Yi chased all the way to a place with extremely lush vegetation, and suddenly found that there was no trace of the child. He was shocked, hurriedly dropped the things in his hand, and looked around carefully.

He searched around for a long time, but found nothing. In desperation, I had to give up. He sighed and thought to himself, "This kid doesn't know what happened, he is out alone, but don't let anything happen." ”

He thought for a moment, unloaded all his backpacks with his backhand, stacked all the food packages full of them, and took out a set of pots and pans and tools for making a fire. He piled them on top of each other and left the sticks behind.

When he had done this, he shouted loudly into the open grass, "Don't be afraid, child, my brother is not a bad person. Since you don't want to see me, I'll leave you all the food you eat, and the tools to make the fire. ”

He paused and continued to shout, "When lighting a fire, remember to be safe. There can be danger outside, if you have a safe place, stay there first. I'll send you some later. ”

After he finished shouting, he waited quietly for a while. But no one answered him, and only the faint sound of the wind blowing the weeds sounded from time to time. He could only sigh softly, take the rest of his belongings, and slowly leave the place.

After he walked a short distance, he was still a little relieved in his heart, so he made some marks in the vicinity, just in case. He broke a thick branch from the tree beside the road, made a simple stick, and went to gather food again.

As night approached, Wei returned to his temporary habitat. That night, he lit a fire and had a good meal. The meal was so full that he barely wanted to move.

That night, while burping, he used his dagger to carve in detail the map he had discovered today's discovery on the rock wall. As he carved, he thought about the child, and he always felt relieved in his heart.

"No, I'll have to go back again. A child, alone, is really reassuring. What if something happens to you? I've got to find him. Thinking so, he stopped what he was doing, and while pondering the whereabouts of the child, he got up and gathered up haphazardly, and left the cave at once.

The night outside the cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Even with the faint moonlight, it was impossible to see anything within a meter in the dense woods. Wei Yi had no choice but to tear his shirt into several large pieces and make a simple torch. He walked out wearing only a single coat.

He lit the torch and scurried all the way, quickly returning to the place where the child had been found today. But at this time, the night was dark, and Wei Yi searched over and over again, but he couldn't find the few marks left when he left.

He was secretly anxious. He had the impression that a little older child was only in his teens, and maybe even younger. On a night like this, what if you encounter a beast or any other danger? He didn't know, since God had let him encounter this, then he definitely couldn't ignore it.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but he had no clue, and he was so anxious that he was in a hurry. Suddenly, a faint light in the distance was caught in his eyes. He was overjoyed, and hurried towards the shining place.

He galloped all the way and soon approached the place. But before he could get closer, he heard a young voice shouting at him hostilely: "Don't come! If you come again, you'll fall into the pit. I've dug a lot of traps here. ”

"This is, this is..."When Wei Yi heard this voice, he was almost stunned, and he muttered: "This voice, this voice is, Shen Xiaoman, it's Shen Xiaoman." ”

He suddenly shouted loudly to the front: "Are you Shen Xiaoman?" Where's your father, Shen Cheng? Why isn't he with you? ”

"Huh?" The boy exclaimed, and after a long time he asked urgently, "Who are you?" How do you know my name? My dad him, my dad him..."

When the child said this, he was almost crying. Wei Yi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoman, don't be afraid, my name is Wei Yi, I am your father's good friend, what's wrong with him now?" Tell me about it. ”

The child was silent for a moment, then slowly opened a secret door and came up from the ground. Wei Yi realized that the child had been hiding underground, no wonder he couldn't find it.

Shen Xiaoman held a torch, beckoned to Wei Yi, and said with a slight cry: "Uncle Wei, you can come in and take a look." My dad is him, and he's in it. ”

Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoman, why do you call me uncle again, it should be my brother." ”

Shen Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Huh? Have we seen this before? I, I'm really not impressed. ”

Only then did Wei Yi realize that Shen Xiaoman at that time was not Shen Xiaoman at this time. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Shen Xiaoman was puzzled, turned around and went through the secret door. Wei Yi also hurriedly followed closely and got in. As soon as he entered, he noticed the difference.

It may have been an abandoned school bus, but for some reason, it was sunk deep underground. They were coming in through the front door of the school bus. The interior of the car is extremely simple. Some of the chairs have been stacked together to make simple beds. On each window, a worn cloth is sewn to keep the dirt out of it.

Wei Yi followed Shen Xiaoman inside, and soon saw Shen Cheng lying unconscious on the bed. He was taken aback and hurried over to check it out. At this time, Shen Xiaoman suddenly grabbed him and hurriedly shouted: "Don't, don't go over." ”
