Chapter 1: Not Human
The scorching sun was not setting in the west, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth, causing the temperature around to rise at a terrible level, as hot as a big furnace. Under this kind of high temperature exposure, it only takes a few tens of minutes to dehydrate a person to death.
On the asphalt road twisted by the high temperature exposure, several survivors wrapped in gray trench coats were walking from the other end of the road, the thick trench coats obviously could not withstand the high temperature exposure, one of the trench coats walked frivolously and crumblingly, and the companion next to him quickly reached out to support him, raised his head and shouted to the leader who walked at the front of the team: "Teacher Karen, Doni can't hold it anymore." β
The leader who had been made Karen didn't look back, she looked around as if looking for something.
"What's wrong, teacher." The cloaked man beside Karen asked.
"Over there, go over there and rest." Karene pointed to the ruins of a building in front of the street about a hundred meters away from the group, his companion was a little puzzled, there were open shops all around, there was no need to walk a few steps left to the dozens of floors of commercial buildings.
"Karen, Doni can't hold it anymore." The companion who supported Doni gritted his teeth, he didn't even notice that he was calling each other by name, and the hot heat was almost squeezing his body, and it was also consumed quickly when he was holding his companion's body, and it looked crumbling.
"I know, go over there and rest." Karian said with a blank face, "Where would it be safer, at least while resting, and not always on guard against the danger of being attacked at any time." β
The young man sighed lightly and muttered, "Is it Su Yongzhi's quotation again?" β
Kalian didn't answer, and when she heard Su Yongzhi's words, her face finally changed a little, she slowed down, looked at a few staggering backs, and said to herself: "Yongzhi, what do you say I should do." "What would he do if he were still alive? Not long ago, Su Yongzhi, her student and lover, in order to protect everyone, led away a terrifying mutant beast by herself, and never came back.
The Karen clan waited for the day of Yongzhi's return, and served as the leader of the team during his absence. Although Kalian knew very well that Su Yongzhi would never come back, the team still worked hard, looking forward to the moment when they would repeat with him. Her strength is not strong, barely able to hunt the lowest level of mutant beasts with other students to feed her stomach, seeing that there is less and less water and food, but the mutant beasts that can be hunted have almost disappeared without a trace, if you don't find food, everyone will face the crisis of food shortage, the large office building in front of you is one of the nests that most mutant beasts like to inhabit it, if their permission is good enough, they may be able to hunt a weak prey with good luck.
"I can always understand why you always frown, Yongzhi."
"What's wrong with you, Teacher Karen?" A young student turned his head and looked at the teacher who was standing still, as if he understood something, and comforted: "Don't worry, Su Yongzhi will definitely come back safely." β
"I'm fine, I'm leaving, I'm almost sunburned." Karen barely smiled quickly, in the past, the student who was eight years younger than herself, organized and led this team of fleeing survivors, he was good at thinking and fighting, rushing to the forefront of each battle to try to protect everyone, saving all the people in the team, that magical charm even she herself indulged in. Su Yongzhi leads the team and desperately wants to live with everyone, and these burdens should not fall on a child who has just become an adult.
Stepping into the shadows of the building, sheltering from the sun, the temperature immediately dropped by half. Karen's throat was dry before she could drink her saliva when a familiar exclamation suddenly came from her right.
"What's going on?" Karene looked in the direction of the exclamation, only to see Anthony staring at the staircase with a frightened face, as he escorted Doni backwards. Karlen saw Anthony's near-reason. There was a corpse sitting at the top of the stairs, not he was not dead, Karen was even creepy, the corner of the corpse's eyes was aimed at his position, and the blue vertical pupils flickered in the shadows, which was not the corner of the eyes that humans would have, Karen herself was glanced at by the other party, and her whole body was creepy.
The man's body was weakened, his face hidden under the shadow was creepy, the muscles of his face seemed to melt, and the outline of his head was extraordinarily obvious, almost a monster in human skin, no wonder her students mistook the other person for a walking corpse just now.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to break into your ......," Karen's hasty explanation was to keep her distance until she was sure they seemed to have malicious intent.
"Food...... Give me food" The man's voice was hoarse and weak, as if the sound came from his throat with his hand. The other person looked weak and seemed to have not eaten for a long time.
Kalian hesitated for a moment, although the few students around her didn't say anything, from the expressions on their faces, they were probably guessing, and they were unwilling to hand over the food lightly, after all, if the food was taken away by the other party, if they couldn't find the food in time, everyone would not be able to avoid starving to death.
But they didn't dare to say more, and they have experienced countless lessonsδΈ¨ to avoid offending others intentionally or unintentionally. Now is not the time of the rule of law in the past, and the tragedy of a sentence leading to a human life is not uncommon.
ββ¦β¦ Give me food," the man repeated again.
Karen felt her body tremble, she couldn't resist the other party's order, tremblingly took out the bag containing the food, put it on the ground, and cautiously retreated to the other side, intending to escape from the place with her student Yu cough. This man, he is definitely not human, and the blue vertical eyes like cat's eyes make Karen very uneasy. She was worried that the other party would suddenly make a move, killing herself and a few of her companions.
"Bring it," the man ordered.
Karen bent down to pick up the food, carefully placed it less than half a meter away from the man, and hurriedly stepped back to open the distance. She seemed a little lazy now, and it took a long time for her to finish bending over the food bag. The other party didn't seem to remember gobbling it up, but bit down on the meat one by one, chewing it several times before swallowing the bad food.
The man had almost eaten the food in the bag, and he asked Karen for some more water, and when he had eaten and drunk, he rested against the wall again, ignoring the others. Karene breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put away the remaining water and food, and several returned to their companions.
"Why do you want to give him food" Anthony questioned Kalian's actions in a low voice, "We don't have enough food and water to give alms to others, if he dares to fight us, my short sword will definitely make him regret being born in this world"
Karene didn't refute, although she didn't think she had done anything wrong, that blue-eyed man was definitely not to mess with, and maybe he would kill everyone because he had broken into his territory. Everyone is too weak, even if the other party is extremely weak, they still don't think they can win.
"Anthony shut up." The female student beside Ka Lian shouted in a low voice, "Those water and food are all things that Su Yongzhi has worked hard to get, we have no right to question Teacher Ka Lian's approach, she must have her own willingness." β
"Don't get into trouble with that man, if he's still human," Karen looked meaningfully in the direction of the man's rest.
"Human?" Dhoni asked, confused.
"Perhaps, Karen wanted to say that the man was a walking corpse." Anthony said without thinking.
"Stupid, didn't you notice his eyes......"
"Okay Anna, don't say any more." Karen interrupted, and she found a place to sit down and rest, "Let's recharge our batteries, and when we've rested enough, let's look for any prey." β
"It's a blue vertical pupil, and I feel trembling when he looks at it." Anna secretly bent towards the staircase and whispered, "That man is terrible, I'm afraid that if Mr. Karen-sensei doesn't give him food, maybe he will be willing to kill us and then find food from the corpse." β
