"Hmm." Volley caught the biscuit, Liu Chang put it in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and said: "It's not musty, but even the original taste of the biscuit is gone, and it is estimated that it is about to spoil." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to think of something else." Li Qingshui glanced at the box of biscuits and said, "The military's food is almost inedible, and they have noticed us, it seems that this channel for changing biscuits is completely broken." ”

"Didn't you hear lately that someone was going to try to grow food?" Hearing that he was going to run out of food, the fat man said anxiously: "Those plants outside are growing so luxuriantly, some people suggest planting some previous grain varieties." According to the growth rate of other plants outside, the grain production cycle can be shortened to less than 10 days. ”

"It's not that simple, a lot of things that you used to be able to eat are now inedible, and you can guarantee that the food can be eaten? You know, it is also a type of plant, and it also evolves and mutates. Li Qingshui said: "And even if you can eat it, what will you do in the next ten days?" Do you want to eat the roots and weeds like those people out there? ”

"What then? If we don't eat what we call, it will spoil, and even if we have a ton of meat, we will throw it away if we can't eat it all! The fat man exclaimed anxiously.

And his words also caused a moment of silence here.

"Looks like that's the only way to do it." After a while, Liu Chang broke the awkward silence, he glanced at Zhu Lin, and said, "Only use the method she said before, and give the meat a stronger antiseptic treatment!" ”

"You mean......" Li Qingshui immediately thought of a suggestion that Zhu Lin had made ten days ago after Liu Chang's reminder, "You mean to use those formalins that soaked corpses?" ”

"Yes, with formalin, even now, the meat can be preserved for two or three days. As long as the meat can be preserved, the meat we bring will be valuable, and we will not run out of food completely. Liu Chang said with a slight squint.

"Where to find formalin?" The fat man questioned again.

"There are so many hospitals." Liu Chang couldn't help but think of the first time he went to the hospital to find medicine, "It's just that a place like a hospital sounds a little scary." ”

"There is a viable way to do this." After Li Qingshui said this, he patted his ass from the small bench and stood up, and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's talk while walking." ”

After Li Qingshui stood up, Liu Chang and the others also stood up with him, and then discussed this issue while cleaning up the kitchen and left here and returned to his dormitory.

The dormitories of the few of them looked much more relaxed at this time than when they first arrived, and the death of a single person in the barracks made the originally crowded barracks empty.

Originally, Liu Chang's dormitory was an eight-person room, but there were twelve people living in three families, and the beds were not enough at all. But only ten or so days have passed, and the beds are not in demand at all-because except for Liu Chang and his group, more than half of the other two families have died.

Xiao Gang, a family of four, was split by a tentacle monster the day after he moved in. And during the big death a few days ago, his father didn't resist the invasion of bacteria, and died again, and now only Xiaoyong and his mother are left.

As for the miserable family of three, long before the "time of death" came, only the young woman who didn't like to talk was left. Moreover, since the death of her parents, this young woman has also been on the verge of a mental breakdown, living on weeds and tree bark every day, and although she has been tortured to the point of insincerity, she has surprisingly survived.

Seeing that she survived, even Li Qingshui had to sigh - the "tenacity" of human life.

And at this point, after the death of four people, the beds in this eight-person dormitory were finally enough. Even because the little girl likes to sleep with Liu Chang, there is an extra bed in this dormitory - here, there is no more dispute about the bed.

But though there was no more strife over the beds, the atmosphere here was not much lighter, but much more oppressive than before—for the dead and the desperate hunger had made the air as heavy as mercury, and the strange atmosphere had made it as lifeless as a morgue. If a human who had not experienced the end of the world entered this house, he would definitely be overwhelmed by the solemn atmosphere.

And after entering the door, Liu Chang and his party also chose to remain silent as a few days ago - their small group of five people is a very rare kind of "all unharmed" small group since the end of the day, because there are no dead people, so the atmosphere is extraordinarily relaxed, and it looks so out of place with other people.

Therefore, when they return here, they will usually choose to remain silent as usual, so as not to irritate other personnel.

The five of them will each do what they want to do, and then fall asleep at the same time as the darkness covers the land.

……

Another night without words.

The next morning, everyone opened their eyes at the same time as the first rays of sunlight ignited the blood-colored fog, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they sat up from their beds in order to survive.

Liu Chang and the little girl are an eternal hunting combination.

And the fat man and Zhu Lin are always following Li Qingshui to find all kinds of edible plants - these plants are life-saving things when Liu Chang doesn't get meat, and they become edible side dishes after beating meat in exchange for biscuits - their meaning of existence is no worse than the meat Liu Chang called in a sense.

Therefore, after a clear division of labor, several people merged into the embrace of nature with the first rays of light in the morning, just like those ancient primitive people, struggling for food and survival.

"Legend has it that good luck and bad luck will appear in pairs, which is also the reason why good luck and bad luck do not go alone." Walking out of the dormitory, Li Qingshui patted Liu Chang's shoulder and said, "You were lucky to hit a chicken yesterday, and today I will bless you to go to the next city!" ”

"I lend you good luck!" Hearing Li Qingshui's blessing, Liu Chang smiled "haha", squatted down and picked up the little girl and put it on his neck, and after waving at everyone, he completely melted into the deep blood.

Walking out of the compound of the military region and walking through the dense grass, Liu Chang carried the little girl, his steps were not only steady, but also extremely fast--the second evolution of his body made his strength much greater, the little girl was already as light as nothing on his shoulders, and his wide line of sight also took in the scenery within fifteen meters -- the fifteen-meter visual distance made him never feel that he could see things so clearly in a foggy world.

"Xiao Jing, how much has your perception distance increased in the past two days?" Liu Chang held the military crossbow in his hand and asked as he sneaked.

"It's about 130 meters, and the growth rate has slowed down in the past two days."

"Well, Mr. Li said that the first large-scale mutation cycle of human beings has passed, and I don't know when the next time will be. What is my current hazard number? ”
