Chapter 14: Foraging

There was silence all around, and the smell of blood in the air irritated the sensitive nasal passages. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Luo Qi covered her mouth and wanted to vomit, but there were bursts of sourness in her empty and curled stomach.

He stroked his buttocks, which had been smashed not long ago, slowly stood up from the ground, and shook it for a while before taking the first step with difficulty.

On Luo Qi's back, the vertebrae that had been shattered at the end of the tail were already intact.

"Yes...... People? ”

Luo Qi swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and walked to the side wall of the corridor step by step.

He leaned against the cracked wall, gasping for breath.

No one answered.

In the corridor, there is only the sound of murmuring water.

Luo Qi followed the wall and gradually sat down on a blood-red ground.

After eight hours, someone finally walked down the stairs and down the school building.

Zhao Tianying resisted Li Yuangang's shoulders and staggered into the corridor.

With a flashlight in his hand, he walked through the thick fog in the porch.

On the shattered ground, there were bloodied, twisted and broken corpses lying everywhere.

On the ground, the cement soaked in blood revealed a brownish red color.

The pungent blood made the organs in Zhao Tianying's body twitch constantly.

He endured the spasms in his abdomen, and his face was flushed.

"Wow!"

Li Yuangang opened his mouth wide, leaned over and squirted out a puddle of pale yellow bitter liquid.

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Tianying lowered her body and reached out to pat Li Yuangang's back.

"It's been so long since you've eaten, and you can still throw up."

"Yuan Gang, you're really good!"

Zhao Tianying stretched out her hand and gave Li Yuangang a thumbs up, with a look of admiration.

Li Yuangang vomited for a while before he came back to his senses.

He waved his hand at Zhao Tianying with a nonchalant face, reached out and stroked the steel-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stroked the sea in front of his forehead by the way.

"It's a little funny."

Li Yuangang leaned his weak body on Zhao Tianying's shoulder with his left hand, and wiped the blood-stained school uniform with his right hand.

"Tianying, let's go."

"After throwing up, I'm even hungrier, sir."

"Malegobi's!"

Li Yuangang opened his mouth and spat at the cracked ground.

Zhao Tianying sighed, resisted Li Yuangang's body with all his might, and walked towards the gap in the corridor.

As the footsteps of the two stepped on the cracked ground, a little blood would splash between the warped pieces from time to time, and there would be a crackling sound.

The two of them walked in horror.

Zhao Tianying kept waving the flashlight, and the light of the flashlight kept shuttling through the thick fog that covered the corridor, but it couldn't illuminate the world outside the corridor.

He resisted Li Yuangang and walked to the gap in the corridor.

The cracked cement on the ground in that place was almost sandy.

The pool of blood that gathered on the ground had long been absorbed by the sandy cement.

Zhao Tianying shone the blue and red ground with a flashlight and swallowed the saliva in her mouth.

"Tianying, over there."

Li Yuangang, whose face was a little pale, stretched out his right hand and pointed to a corridor wall next to the gap with his right index finger.

Zhao Tianying quickly moved the flashlight and shone it on the corridor wall pointed by Li Yuangang.

Feeling the light shining on his body, Luo Qi, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head slightly and looked in the direction where the light came from.

He saw Zhao Tianying and Li Yuangang, and Li Yuangang and Zhao Tianying also saw him.

The three of them were silent for a moment.

Zhao Tianying turned his head and glanced at Li Yuangang, then took a step back with a suspicious face.

"You guy."

Li Yuangang trembled all over, and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.

He pointed at Luo Qi and asked loudly, "Still not human?!" ”

Hearing this, Luo Qi frowned slightly, and then laughed.

"Hehe, hehe."

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

In the hearty and high-pitched laughter, two lines of tears welled up from Luo Qi's eyes.

Until he burst into laughter, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Ahem!"

Luo Qi covered her mouth and coughed.

Dirty blood spilled on the tattered collar and trickled down Luo Qi's chin.

Luo Qi gasped for a moment, then put down his hands weakly, and straightened his neck and pillowed his head against the wall.

He sighed towards Li Yuangang and Zhao Tianying.

"Do I look like a ghost?"

Hearing this, Li Yuangang and Zhao Tianying both turned their heads and looked at each other.

That night, the thick fog vapor in the air gradually dissipated.

Luo Qi picked up the bread in his hand and bit off the transparent wrapper on the bread with a large piece of bread crust.

He chewed it a few times and swallowed the wrapper and crust into his stomach.

"Smack!"

Li Yuangang opened his mouth wide, and the ham sausage in his hand also fell to the ground.

He watched Luo Qi gobble up, and after gnawing the bread in his hand in a few bites, he stretched out his tongue and quickly licked the bread crumbs between his palms.

Li Yuangang stared at the big round eyes, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, only when Luo Qi cleaned his palm, lowered his head with red eyes, and looked at the half of the ham sausage on the ground.

Li Yuangang came back to his senses suddenly.

He quickly bent down and squatted on the ground, and reached out to pick up the ham sausage on the ground.

"Woo~!"

Luo Qi's eyes were cracked, his eyes stared at the fat short palm stretched out to the half-cut ham sausage, and the mouth with bared teeth continued to let out a low hiss like a fierce dog.

Facing Luo Qi's fierce gaze, Li Yuangang had great fear in his heart.

Cold sweat broke out on his chubby face, and he trembled.

With trembling hands, he grabbed the ham sausage on the ground.

He looked at the ham sausage in his hand, and then turned his head to look at Luo Qi, who had a fierce face.

He was silent for a moment, and then slowly handed over the ham sausage in Luo Qi's hand.

Luo Qi grabbed the ham sausage handed over by Li Yuangang and quickly squeezed the lean meat in the package into his mouth.

While chewing the lean meat in his mouth with satisfaction, he handed back the shriveled and constricted red wrapping paper with the word "beautiful" to Li Yuangang, who wanted to cry without tears.

"Give it back to you."

After Luo Qi swallowed the meat into her stomach, her reddened eyes returned to normal.

He touched his shriveled belly, showed a warm smile, and turned his head to look at Zhao Tianying on the side.

Zhao Tianying silently stuffed a large mouthful of butter-smeared bread into her mouth, quickly turned around, and walked quickly into the distance.

Luo Qi looked at Zhao Tianying's back as she flew away, and pouted dissatisfiedly.

He turned around again and looked at the people who were eating behind him.

The people around him quickly dispersed and fled to the side.

Luo Qi pursed his mouth, touched his belly, and turned around helplessly, only to find Li Yuangang squatting on the edge of the shallow pit that had just been dug out.

The location of the shallow pit once stood the only commissary in the entire middle school, where the long-stockpiled snacks and drinks and convenience food that could be used as a late-night snack had been crushed under the collapsed masonry, steel bars and horizontal slabs.

In the absence of tools, even if there were enough people, it would not have been possible to dig out the buried food from under the rubble in an hour.

But what actually happened was that when the hungry Luo Qi was helped to the ruins, in his extreme desire, he immediately burst out with a powerful force that could not be measured by common sense.
