Chapter 54: After the Silence
The suddenness of the day, the scorching sun scorching the earth, is undoubtedly worse for people in distress on such a bad day. The perimeter of the Utopia camp had not yet been fully erected, half of the finished work had been abandoned, and no one wanted to work in the heat, in fact that even if they did, the environment would not allow those who could afford to build it in the scorching sun. In the heat, it doesn't take a few minutes to squeeze most of the water out of their bodies, and the scorching sun will quickly bake them into meat.
In fact, to make matters worse, there was no longer enough drinking water in the camp, and the day after the sun rose, several people fell unconscious from the heat and never woke up.
It is said that high temperature has a sterilizing effect, but the high temperature produced by continuous exposure to the sun is enough to kill the poor human beings hiding under the high temperature.
The streets of Utopia Camp were empty, the uncleaned garbage emitted a foul stench in the sun, the air above the streets seemed inexplicably distorted by the hot air currents, and all the survivors hid in the shadows like rats.
Right now, the ruins of this dilapidated and towering mansion at the intersection of streets are the best place to hide. Deep in the building, in the gloomy corridors, a large number of survivors gathered, all of them leaning against the walls. The new order established by the upper echelons of Utopia was shaken in just a few months, and without the maintenance of food ties, the happy days shattered like bubbles in the blink of an eye.
The empty eyes were full of numbness, no one knew where the future would go, perhaps they had become numb to their present life and were waiting for death to come.
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: The hunting party is back
This sentence seemed to be filled with infinite magic, and the people who were originally dying climbed up and rushed to the end of the corridor, waiting for the arrival of the upper echelons of the allotted utopia.
The food was fresh meat, and after being exposed to the heat for several hours, everyone was given a little bit of fishy meat and a few mouthfuls of water, which was simply not enough for an adult, let alone someone who needed a lot of food. However, that's what most people eat for a day.
Only by joining the hunting team can you have the opportunity to get more food, but the number of people who died in the hunt has always been high, and almost one-third of the people who left the camp can not return alive, let alone bring food, and even the highest combat strength of the camp to form a hunting team cannot guarantee that every hunt can get food.
"Eat, young man, and when you're done, join the hunting party." A scrawny woman gave up her food and water for a year, and when she saw the young child in front of her, she said hoarsely: "The situation in the camp is getting worse day by day, and sooner or later you will starve to death if you don't join the hunting party,"
The boy didn't speak, he didn't even know the other party, he reached out and took the food tremblingly, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it the next moment. The boy looked at the woman's expression, suddenly froze, his eyes were red, but he could no longer shed tears, he lowered his head and silently expressed his feelings to the other party, slowly stood up, and walked to the end of the corridor.
In the end, he chose to join the hunting team, fighting death in the scorching heat, and whether he died or survived in the end depends on the arrangement of fate.
In the depths of the building, the managers of Utopia are in an intensive meeting. A sensitive word came up - ogres.
A few days ago, someone ate the flesh and blood of a ghoul beast to gain strength in a short period of time, this terrible rumor instantly swept the entire camp, for power, for survival, many people take risks, after all, both horizontal and vertical are death, strength is king. However, something terrible happened, a monster that became after overeating an overdose of the flesh of a ghoul, a completely new evolutionary species of ogres. They are somewhat similar to hunters in a certain way, and ogres are obviously weaker and more numerous, due to cannibalism.
For the ogres who appeared in the camp, non-dangerous humans who had lost their minds, most of them chose to turn their corpses into mummies in the sun to prevent more diseases and plagues. This practice instead bred the birth of ogres.
Survival, food is the two boulders that make people breathless, and in the eyes of some people who do not compromise their means, they can do everything in order to live, and there is no source of food. In fact, for the stronger, the companions around them are the best food, and they secretly divide the food that has been baked in the sun, but it also creates a vicious circle.
"The number of ogres in the camp is increasing, and if this phenomenon is not stopped, more and more people will die." Anton pressed his hands on the table, stood up and said angrily. In fact, these things were handled by Anton and the last team to maintain the camp, and those scrawny and black-covered guys were no longer human in his eyes, especially after seeing a bloody scene before, he was more sure and more convinced that he should do everything possible to kill those monsters.
"All, I'll kill them all as soon as they appear."
Ahem
"I know you're angry, but there's one more important thing I have to tell you." Interrupting Anton was a large young man with a cracked frame and a thin face that could tell everyone that he had once been a man of relatively large size. He was one of the Red Devils' later pushers to take charge of the camp's food settlement and distribution.
"The food supply at the camp has reached its limit."
The silence in the hall was terrifying, and you could even hear the breathing of others.
"The army had already entered a state of scarcity of food, and they were almost all out to participate in the hunt. In fact, the army has already existed in name only. He continued: "Except for leaving some last hope for the elite, as the eldest sister commanded, the amount of hunting is not at all proportional to the amount consumed by those civilians, and it is time to make a choice." ”
All said that this kind of work, no matter who understands his consciousness, give up those who are weak, give up this part of the burden, and let others continue to live.
"Then let everyone make a choice, whether to die in battle or starvation" Catherine is no longer able to save the current situation, she can only blame the people who give up part of it, and leave everyone with the last hope.
"What do you think?"
Seconded
Seconded
"What is the situation with that one, if we can get his help, at least the situation can be much better." Hearing about Li Xin's deeds from the Red Devils, a terrifying strong man is a kind of shelter for the current camp, a kind of deterrent to the enemy.
"The man has woken up, and Yayun is taking care of him." Catherine frowned and forced the others to stop their mouths first: "Their food was volunteered by Shihan
"Is there really a tough name like the legend says?" Rumors are always suspicious, and someone present suddenly asked.
"He's gotten stronger, and he's scary, but I'm not sure about his attitude now," Catherine glanced at everyone present and warned, "That man has become dangerous, don't take the initiative to provoke him, those who have seen that battle will know." As for what you say, I'll take care of it, and as for food, let everyone participate in the hunt. After being silent for so long, if they don't explode, they can only die in silence"
