Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Fire
"It's finally cool!"
Lin Xi sat by a bonfire, wiped his oily mouth contentedly, and said to himself, "Next time I trouble this group of rabbits, I shouldn't be so embarrassed." ”
On the ground in front of him, the big rabbit had turned into a ball of bones.
Since he had the ability to digest, his appetite has been getting better and better, and in a day and a night, he has almost eaten the food equivalent to his entire body weight, but the benefit in exchange is that the appetite that has always roared in the depths of his cells has finally subsided at this moment, which means that he is really full.
However, this is not unusual, the better the physical fitness, the more energy is often consumed, and the more amazing the amount of food needed, like the famous sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng in history, the legend is that he can "eclipse a cow" super glutton, this is still a record after he became famous in his later years, when he was young, the gastrointestinal function must be more active, and I don't know how to gluttony.
"Take a break, while you still have enough energy, it's time to find some food as a reserve."
Lin Xi stared at the bonfire in front of him, took out an iron bar casually, stretched it into the fire and dialed it, the flames that had been low immediately rose to the ground and became a lot stronger, after thinking about it, he grabbed a handful of rotten cotton wool soaked in gasoline and threw it into the fire, boom, the flames suddenly rose high, and immediately drove away the darkness and coldness underground.
Lin Xi's face immediately showed a look of comfort.
There was no need to save these things, just the ownerless cars in the underground parking lot, the remaining oil in the fuel tank was enough for him to burn for a long time, and no one would accuse him of wasting precious oil by doing so, although the oil fields in the desert were not yet in a bad situation.
He didn't barbecue directly in his shelter, but chose the vacant parking space near the door of the three-proof compartment, which had a relatively wide view and could basically monitor the movement of the entire parking lot, and not far behind him was the airtight gate with only a slight gap, and the door crack was just big enough for him to enter sideways.
In this way, even if any other predator was attracted by the smell of roasted meat, he would be able to spot the other party as quickly as possible, and then quickly enter the shelter and lock the door, if according to the situation in his previous practice, it should not take more than ten seconds to complete the whole process.
After experiencing the thunderous counterattack of the mutant rabbit, his caution about his own safety has increased again, and he has been demanding to an outrageous point, almost every detail, must strive to be the safest.
It's troublesome, but Lin Xi himself thinks it's necessary.
Especially now that there is no hope for rescue at all.
Although he had very little contact with other survivors during these days, and he did not know the news from the outside world, his intuition told him that this catastrophe caused by the cloud of death was afraid that it would affect a huge area, not only this city and the surrounding areas, but also a province, several provinces, and even the whole country and the whole world.
In the face of such a disaster, even if the government has not collapsed, it is afraid that it is already too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible to mobilize forces to rescue these survivors scattered in every corner of the city.
This made him very worried about his parents, who lived on the other side of the city, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do.
You know, according to the law of urban construction, such as Star City, a provincial capital city with a population of several million, the university town is generally built on the outskirts of the city, in this kind of place, the population is relatively sparse, but in order to facilitate teachers and students, the infrastructure is quite perfect, and the transformation of the natural environment is sparing no effort, so after the catastrophe, the zombie density in the university town area is far less than that of the urban area, and the mutant creatures are not as good as the horror in the wild, which should be the safest area.
However, even in this relatively "safest" area, Lin Xi has a feeling of difficulty, and he lives in fear every day.
In this situation, he must do his best to protect himself, let alone travel through the entire city to find his family.
In desperation, he can only retreat and try to save his life first, as for the matter of finding his family, he can only wait for the opportunity in the future, and then slowly figure it out.
Of course, when that time comes, the odds of finding it are very difficult to say.
"Let's find food first."
Lin Xi stood up suddenly, plunged headlong into a bucket of cold water next to him, and swallowed it in a big gulp, the cold water flowed through his throat and into his lungs, which seemed to make his anxious mood slowly calm down.
After a long while, when he felt that his emotions were completely fine, he picked up the hammer and the rest of the fitness ball and slowly walked out of the garage.
Who knows, at the moment when his footsteps just stepped out of the shadow of the garage passage, a familiar thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky!
Immediately after, a grand shadow was like a tsunami, spreading over tall buildings, over barren grass, and over trees, and quickly spread towards Lin Xi's side, and soon, the shadow cast on the sky dome merged with the shadow at Lin Xi's feet, and the entire heaven and earth suddenly except for the crazy flickering electric light, all the light was swallowed up in the blink of an eye, and the world's clock seemed to be pushed backwards from the sunny noon to the deepest dawn of the night.
At this time, even if Lin Xi didn't have to look up, he knew that there must be a terrifying scene of dark clouds rolling above his head now.
"Damn it!"
He angrily slammed the wall next to him, and the plaster fell in a torrent.
The cloud of death descended without warning, completely disrupting his hunting plan, but even if he was unwilling, under the power of this world-destroying sky, he could only bow his head and wait for this wave of clouds to pass.
"Hey, what's that?"
Suddenly, just as Lin Xi was about to retreat to the garage, a vision not far from him caught his attention.
I saw that between the two residential buildings in the community, there was actually a billowing smoke rising into the air, driven by the strong wind, the smoke almost filled half of the community, a large number of mutated animals who hated fireworks were all smoked by this sudden smoke and fled, and did not forget to fight each other in the escape, flesh and blood flying, the scene was crazy to the extreme.
The blazing firelight not only reflected the walls of the two buildings red, but even rose to the sky, making the low-pressure clouds above the community seem to be plated with a layer of blood-colored edges, compared with such a crazy and noisy fire, whether it is the flame trap lit by Lin Xi with vomit or the bonfire lit with gasoline, it seems a little too small.
"It's kind of interesting."
Lin Xi touched his chin and suddenly stopped.
He hid behind the shadow of the garage and watched the last fleeing beast disappear from his field of vision, and then he stepped out.
The magic of burning dog meat has made him still nostalgic, and now it is rare to encounter such a bizarre fire, so he naturally wants to go over to have a good time, and by the way see if there is anything cheap to pick up.
Maybe some hapless animal was burned inside?
