It was already night.

After the crow flew away, everyone's mood inexplicably fell to the bottom.

Thinking that the food has been completely cut off now, everyone's face is covered with gloomy and desperate colors.

Chen Haoyang looked at the dark night sky and stood in place in a daze, until Hang Ming called him, he came back to his senses.

"Hurry up! Don't delay too late, hurry up and come back soon after the search is over. Our team's task is to make sure the village is safe. Hang Ming instructed the team members.

Geng Zhi and Hua Bong had a clear goal and started their search from the nearest two houses, and the two groups of them quickly rushed into the darkness.

"What can we do if we can't find food today? Is it true that you can only eat tree bark to survive? Wang Xinrui followed Hua Feng and said worriedly.

"Didn't someone catch a sparrow?" Hua Feng didn't want to say too much, but Wang Xinrui seemed to be uneasy, and especially wanted to find someone close to him to complain.

It's just that now, Hua Bong is taking everyone out to perform the task, and he really can't share his energy.

"What if there are no sparrows?" Wang Xinrui said weakly.

Hua Feng pushed open the door, entered the courtyard, swept around with a flashlight, confirmed that there was no one inside, and then turned back.

"If we don't have a sparrow to take the bait, we can only continue to eat the bark and go to the next village, and hold on for three or two days, and there will always be hope. It's when we're on a diet. Well, don't talk about food, it affects morale. He whispered to Wang Xinrui.

Wang Xinrui nodded as if she had done something wrong.

Hwabong hugged her comfortingly and patted her on the head.

Ghost Man and Meng Qiwen were also arranged to follow this group.

Since Xiao Du's death, the ghost man has not spoken, and he often hides in a no-man's corner by himself, talking to himself.

Meng Qiwen had pondered whether to go over to comfort him, but as soon as she thought that Xiao Du had tried to violate herself, she broke off this idea.

"These places are too poor. The poorest county in Northern Province seems to be this area, right? It's never mentioned on TV. Wang Xinrui said.

"The northern metropolis is not like Donghu City, the surrounding area of Donghu City is very developed, and many of the surrounding areas of the northern metropolis are economically underdeveloped places." Meng Qiwen is from Donghu City and is familiar with the development of the surrounding area.

"If we are in Donghu City, will we still have a chance to survive?" Wang Xinrui said.

"It's hard to say that the surrounding area is very densely populated, and it may not be a good thing in the last days. However, they can move to the central province and the southern province, which are mountainous and watery, and should be much easier to defend. Meng Qiwen said, she thought that her relatives and friends were still in Donghu City, and she was the only one who happened to be in Beidu, and she was unwilling to continue on this topic.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The group of motorcyclists had already arrived at Lilang Village, and just like entering Huangkou Village, this group of people turned off the fire and slowly pushed the cart into the entrance of the village.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw a group of people with flashlights patrolling the village roads.

"I'm grass!! Yes, yes!! There were, there were!! An excited, but suppressed voice, said a man, "Finally the animals have been found!" ”

"You see, there are a lot of people patrolling, and this time we have a bumper harvest of food!"

Several flashlights dangled around, which made them feel morale high.

"That's almost six people, right? There must still be people in there. The man who took the lead said, "Let's exit the car first, stay at the entrance of the village, observe the situation first, and wait until the second half of the night, or when someone is left alone, and then start!" ”

"I said, why don't we still practice grazing as we did in the past?"

The so-called grazing is a new word invented by this group of people. That's how they treat the villagers of Mahon village.

And Ma Hong Village is the village where Zheng Jieming and others first found signs of cannibalism.

At that time, they mixed in a few people, found a gap, and deceived a few people at the entrance of the village, killed and ate them, and when they came back, they lied to the others that they were killed by zombies.

With this warm cooking method, the villagers of Mahon Village were slowly killed.

And in the end, the villagers suspected each other to the point of being out of control, and finally broke out into internal cannibalism -- and finally gave these cannibalistic guys a chance to break out.

"Grazing is slow, but the meat is fresh. Let's see if we can catch it first tonight or wait for a few to come out, and then we'll talk about it. The man who took the lead said, "Ambush first, and we'll get it if someone urges us." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The four groups of people investigated and found nothing unusual, and each returned to the house in the middle.

"Still don't have any food sources?" Zheng Jieming asked.

"No, but it's strange, we see a house, there is a pot, there are things cooked in it, and there is a thick layer of oil on the wall of the pot, is it possible that there are animals to eat it?" Hang Ming replied.

Hang Ming didn't know that there was a cannibalism, Zheng Jieming recalled the pile of white bones he saw before, shook his head, and diverted the topic, "I'll take a closer look during the day tomorrow, let's go to bed early today, and my stomach won't be so empty when I fall asleep." ”

Hua Feng and Geng Zhi counted the number of people again, and after confirming that there were no fewer people, they arranged for everyone to sleep in two separate rooms.

"When everyone rests at night, don't go out, stay in this house!"

"There are aqua toilets in this village, if you want to go to the toilet, be careful not to fall into the pit, it's best to solve it in the yard!" Ming Qi specially reminded everyone.

In his hometown, it is common for people to go to the toilet and fall into the pit at night. There were even people who drowned in thatched pits, and it seems that an emperor died like this in ancient times.

Zheng Jieming confirmed that Ming Qi had hung the net in the open space outside the courtyard before arranging for everyone to sleep.

"I hope you will wake up early to-morrow morning, and the net will be full of sparrows or other birds," he was about to fall asleep, when he saw a man standing in front of the window.

It was Luo Xue standing in front of the window. She folded her hands and prayed to the sky for a long time, until her stomach rumbled, and she did not fall asleep.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Night.

Cai Ling suddenly woke up from his dream.

He dreamed of a swarm of ants crawling on his bed, all sorts of sesame sizes, medium, and huge red ants, mixed back and forth. He kept stepping on it with his feet and pinching it with his hands, but he couldn't finish pinching it or killing it.

Then he finally found the insecticide from the corner and sprayed it on the ant colony, but the ants were scattered and some were unfortunately sprayed and struggled to die on the spot.

But there were more and more ant colonies, surging towards his feet!

At this time, he felt as if something was crawling on his body, so he opened his eyes violently and sat up in shock.

It was Jiang Cai who called him from the side.

"What are you doing!?" Cai Ling said suspiciously and dissatisfied.

He always had a grudge against this former friend. At that time, Jiang Cai once pushed himself away and ran up the stairs, which made him always have a mustard.

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Jiang Caishen whispered mysteriously.

Cai Ling thought about it, saw that everyone around him was asleep, hesitated, and reluctantly got up from the bed.

Walking into the courtyard, Cai Ling asked, "What's the matter with you?" Wake me up in the middle of the night? ”

"It's okay with the cabbage, I don't dare to come out to pee by myself," Jiang Cai said. The name Caitou is the nickname given to each other by a group of their friends before.

When Cai Ling heard this nickname, the idea of forgiving this old friend came to his heart. He felt that he was also a little anxious at this moment, and the two of them walked to the corner of the courtyard.

I was leaking when I suddenly heard a strange sound outside.

"Goo-goo"

"Hey, do you hear me?" Jiang Cai's eyes lit up.

"Well, what's the sound?" Cai Ling wondered.

"Isn't it the net that Ming Qi made before? It must be a bird! Jiang Cai said excitedly, "I said, let's go out and have a look!" ”

"What are you doing?"

"If there are birds, let's bake one at night! You're not hungry!! I'm hungry!! Jiang Cai said, "If you eat bark soup every day, you can pay it back!! ”

"Not really, right?"

"What's so bad! Now that we have this net, if a bird can really take the bait, will we still worry about food in the future? Let's just open a meat in advance! Jiang Cai couldn't stop persuading Cai Ling.

It's like a poisonous snake that keeps people stealing apples.

Cai Ling's stomach gurgled and finally couldn't help it.

"Do you have a fire?"

"Yes! I took out all the matches from the lighter! Jiang Cai took out a match, "It's just that I don't dare!" ”

"So you had a premeditated plan?" Cai Ling realized that Jiang Cai was not here to pull him out of the toilet at all.

"It's premeditated, don't you come! If you don't go, I won't dare to go out myself anyway. If you don't want to, this matter will be yellow, and you can only continue to eat a big pot of rice and braised bark tomorrow. ”

Cai Ling gritted his teeth.

"Go!"

The two opened the locked door, pushed it open, and walked towards the dark village.

And in the darkness, several pairs of hungry eyes were staring at them expectantly.

"I also figured out how to lure them out, so I took the initiative to send them to the door."
