In a shanty town in the city of Li'an.

In one of the rooms, more than twenty people were sitting together, and the scene was so chaotic that it was not difficult to see that they seemed to be arguing somewhat.

These 20 people are all young men and women, and most of them are men.

They were arguing over the distribution of food, and in the other rooms there were some elderly people and children, all of whom were estimated to be more than thirty people combined.

They all sat or lay quietly, and even the usually active boys became very quiet, because they had not eaten enough for a long time, and the only way to stay alive was to move as little as possible, so that the energy consumption would be slower.

However, looking at the state of those old people and children, you can guess that the people here have not lost their conscience, and they still maintain the character before the disaster.

In fact, this is not surprising, you must know that this is a shantytown, and the people who live here are originally a group of people at the bottom of society, and they will not be like people who live in high-end communities, and they can't even figure out whether the neighbor is male or female, and how many people in the family are.

The people here, who have known the whole district since they were young, may occasionally quarrel, but they will soon get back together.

The people here still maintain their primitive simplicity and innocence, no matter what they look like when they work outside, when they return to the shantytown, they are the children of all the elders in the district, and the older brothers and sisters of all the children in the district.

A few days of starvation don't drive them crazy.

Originally, there was only one room for each family, but after the disaster, in order to better take care of each other, five or six rooms were opened, although the area was not large, but it was enough for the remaining fifty or sixty people to make do with it.

Not to mention the matter of ghost pawns and demon insects, just food and water have become the biggest problems everyone faces.

It was this matter that the twenty or so young people were arguing about, and in the end, everyone was divided into two factions.

One group is dominated by a young man, who is supported by mostly men, and his view is that he leads most young men to go out in search of food.

On the other hand, they are firmly opposed to this view, believing that it is a very dangerous thing, and that there are still some food reserves, and they have not yet reached the point of exhaustion. They thought that if they lasted a few more days, maybe they would be able to wait until the disaster passed or the army came to their rescue, and they were optimistic that they could be helped.

"We must go out, if you think it's dangerous, I'll go alone, my mother's stomach is not good, she can't endure such hunger anymore, and what if you really have to wait until the food is finished, or if there is no army coming? At that time, everyone will be so hungry that they can't walk, so they will really have to wait for death. The young man who advocated going out to find food said loudly, his name was Han Sheng, he was originally a very poor child, his father died early, and he followed his mother to depend on each other, and his mother's health has not been good, so Han Sheng dropped out of school early, working hard in society alone, in order to earn more money, he always picked some dirty and tired work to do, the young man looked quite talented, although the clothes were very shabby, but there was also a kind of street prodigal chic.

The reason why he was able to respond here was precisely because he had awakened a strange ability before the disaster broke out, he could turn his arms into two sharp blades, even steel bars could be cut with a single blow, and it was because of his existence that the people here were able to survive.

In addition, the supernatural people have keen perception ability, so Han Sheng can sense the existence of demon insects, which is the most fundamental reason why these survivors in the shanty town are not parasitized.

Opposing Han Sheng's opinion was a man in the prime of his thirties, one of the few people here with a high school degree, named Ma Tao, who still believed in science, believed in the country, and pinned his hopes on the army and police.

"Xiao Sheng, it's not that Uncle won't let you go, but it's too dangerous outside, you are everyone's last reliance, you said that if something happens to you, what should we do, what about the old people and children here? If there is no food, then I will definitely not stop you from going out, but won't you be able to last two or three days, so we can't wait? Ma Tao said earnestly. It could be heard from his tone that he was indeed thinking about Han Sheng.

"But my mother's stomach problems?" Han Sheng let out a deep voice and clenched his fists tightly.

"Why don't you look at this, give my share of food to my sister-in-law, everyone be patient, and wait two more days? If you still can't wait for the army, I will definitely not stop you again. Ma Tao said, and everyone fell silent.

Even Han Sheng stopped talking.

"Brother, you've only eaten half a bowl of porridge in the past two days, and then divide the food, you ......" A girl standing behind Ma Tao pulled Ma Tao's arm and said with a worried look on her face.

Before she finished speaking, Ma Tao had already interrupted her: "Xiaoling, I know my body myself, don't worry, brother is fine." ”

Han Sheng looked at Ma Ling and Ma Tao, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from above, startling everyone.

I saw that the top of the house, which was not too strong, directly broke a big hole, and then, a beautiful woman's figure smashed down and fell towards Han Sheng.

Everyone was surprised, Han Sheng had already reacted, and hurriedly took half a step back, and then stretched out his arms to catch the woman who fell.

Fortunately, his body has been strengthened, and his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, and this woman's body is not heavy, plus the previous roof canceled out part of the gravity, so Han Sheng caught the woman without danger.

Han Sheng looked down, it was originally just a casual glance, but when he saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes could no longer take his eyes off the other party's face.

The woman's eyes were slightly closed, and there was still a trace of sadness on her delicate and picturesque face, and the delicate beauty was enough to touch the heart of any man.

What Han Sheng didn't see was that on the forehead of the woman lying in his arms, a small white flower with a pale blue shimmer was slowly disappearing.

"Hey, how long have you been staring at someone?" Ma Ling took a step forward, bent over, and turned her face up, that playful appearance had already appeared in front of Han Sheng, blocking his view of the woman.

After Ma Ling's move, everyone reacted from shock and discussed the matter one by one.

Han Sheng's face was even more flushed, and he lowered his head.

"Hmph, pervert, wolf." Ma Ling looked at Han Sheng's shy appearance, so she didn't get angry, and turned her head directly.

Seeing such a situation, Ma Tao smiled helplessly, and took two steps forward and walked to Han Sheng's side.

He looked down at the woman in Han Sheng's arms, and when he saw the woman's pale face, Ma Tao grabbed the woman's hand and helped her take her pulse.

"Uncle, what's the situation?" Han Sheng asked in a low voice.

Ma Tao shook his head, looked up at the big hole in the ceiling again, and said, "There is no situation, the pulse shows that everything is normal, go, put her on the bed, and then go and boil some porridge and bring it over." ”

"Okay." Han Sheng answered, and walked away with the woman in his arms.

Behind him, Ma Ling looked at Han Sheng's anxious appearance and stomped her feet angrily.

"What, jealous?" Ma Tao looked at his sister and asked jokingly.

Ma Ling is not Ma Tao's own sister, he met Ma Tao on the street when he was in his twenties, when Ma Ling was about ten years old, and it is said that she ran away from a welfare home in another city.

"Who's jealous, just the way he looks, I don't like it, huh." Ma Ling shook the ponytail behind her head, turned her head directly, and walked away angrily.

Ma Tao smiled knowingly, and after a moment, his smile stopped instantly, and his serious expression returned to his face.

He looked up at the broken ceiling, and a deep worry rose in his heart.

He was thinking about the future of this group, he was thinking about the identity of the woman who descended that day, and he was worried about the shortage of food.

He was originally the smartest and most trustworthy person in people's hearts, but now everyone obeyed his command and put their hopes on him and Han Sheng. So he has to think about everything that should be considered, and he has to take on all the pressure and responsibility.

Retracting his gaze, Ma Tao sighed, he already had an old age that did not match his age, and at this moment, he actually added a few points.

In the woods outside Li'an City, Zhang Fei killed an extra-large grasshopper, and was squatting on the ground at the moment, roasting the grasshopper's corpse with a blank face.

The grasshopper is half a meter long and quickly roasts its fragrance.

"I didn't expect you to have this craft, it smells very good, but can this kind of thing really be eaten?" Tao Yiting walked to Zhang Fei's side and sat down, and said softly.

"I can eat it." Zhang Fei responded lightly, without even twisting his head.

Several hours have passed, and Zhang Fei still hasn't been able to find Xia Lan.

Although he still doesn't give Tao Yiting a good look now, at least what Tao Yiting says, he will respond casually, although the tone is not too good.

"Okay, since you said you could eat it, then the girl gave up her life to accompany the gentleman, and said, when will it be baked?" Tao Yiting stared at the big grasshopper and continued to ask.

Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't reply anymore, Tao Yiting didn't say anything anymore, she was used to Zhang Fei's silence.

Standing up, Tao Yiting took out a small jar of salt and pepper from her pocket, walked to the fire, and sprinkled some on the grasshoppers.

Seeing Tao Yiting's movements, Zhang Fei raised his eyes slightly to look at her.

I saw that a sweet smile appeared on Tao Yiting's face: "Do you want to ask why I am carrying this?" ”

Reflecting the firelight, Zhang Fei looked at Tao Yiting's gentle smile, and the softness in his heart was touched fiercely.

I still remember that when I met Tao Yiting for the first time, I was severely amazed by her unique mature charm, and I was even a little nervous to speak in front of her.

At that time, Zhang Fei never thought that Tao Yiting would show this sweet and lovely smile like a little girl in front of him.

Tao Yiting noticed the change in the expression on Zhang Fei's face, and said with a smile: "You want to know when you see it, forget it, since you don't want to speak, then I'll tell you reluctantly, in fact, I often barbecue in the open air alone, this salt and pepper is almost a must-have item, if you want to say that this barbecue is ...... to eat."

Listening to Tao Yiting talking about the way of barbecue, Zhang Fei cut angrily and turned his head: "I don't want to know." ”

Although Zhang Fei's voice was very small, Tao Yiting still heard Zhang Fei's words, and she looked at Zhang Fei's back, and a smile of victory appeared on her face.

Although Zhang Fei's tone was not good, she knew that Zhang Fei was slowly opening the knot in her heart.
