Chapter 972: Heavenly Fire
Recently, salmon has been the staple food of zombies, this fish is very nutritious, zombies eat fish every day, their stomachs are full, and the grizzly bear also comes to the stream every day, but it is safe with zombies, and they eat their own fish.
Now when zombies go out, they will carry that stone knife with them.
Because he faintly found that the wolf had been secretly following him, and the smell of the wolf had long been remembered by him, it was wandering around the jungle, and it had long been noticed by the zombies, but the zombies were busy catching fish to eat, and the wolf was extremely alert, and the zombies slipped away when they approached it slightly.
On this day, the zombies caught a lot of salmon and threw them on the beach by the stream, there were too many fish, the zombies couldn't eat them all for a while, so they were thrown on the beach, the sun was very strong, and in the afternoon, the salmon were blown dry and dry, attracting a large number of mosquitoes and flies, like a small dark cloud on the fish.
The zombie stared at the fish on the beach, suddenly walked over, picked up the stone knife, cut open the belly of the fish, and devoured the rich fish roe, which was originally the best delicacy, and now it is the spawning period of salmon, and the bulging belly is full of bags of delicious fish roe.
The zombie had already eaten enough fish, but now eating fish roe aroused his greed, and his subordinates kept disemboweling all the fish on the beach, digging out the internal organs and fish roe and eating them clean. After eating the fish on the beach, the zombie did not stop, and threw himself back into the stream, this time catching salmon, eating only the roe, and throwing the fish body on the shore.
For several days, the zombies acted like this. The beach was full of salmon, and the sun was extremely strong, and after a few days, they were all dried fish, attracting many small birds and beasts to grab food.
On this day, the zombie who was catching fish in the stream suddenly stopped, threw away the salmon that was catching the fish roe in his hand, and roared and threw himself to the shore, but the wolf came out of the jungle again at some point, but. This time it didn't come to sneak up on the zombies. Instead, come and eat the dried fish that is drying on the beach.
The wolf was munching on the oily dried fish, and when he saw the zombie roar and pounce, he took a dried fish in his mouth, and turned his head and ran into the jungle. The zombie could only roar in vain.
The sun went down on this day. When the zombie returns to the cave. When he brought all the dried fish back to the hole, he had a consciousness in his mind - this is mine, and no one can snatch it.
This was the first germination of self-consciousness. There is also the concept of private property.
Originally, this zombie lived freely in the world, eating and drinking according to instinct, and ate as much food as he could, but this time, he accidentally dried fish, and there was a surplus of food, and when the wolf came to eat, he felt that his food was violated for the first time, because the dried fish was different from the live fish in the stream, which was specially owned by him.
Over the next few days, while eating salmon roe in the stream, the zombies threw the body of the fish that had been dug up and inadvertently cleaned in the stream to the beach to let the sun dry naturally, and the wolf appeared a few more times, stole a few dried fish, and then fled into the jungle in the chase of the zombies.
On this day, when the zombies came out of the cave, the dark clouds had already covered the sky, and one or two thunderclaps sounded from time to time, but the rain never fell.
The zombie was catching fish, suddenly stopped, stood up straight, and looked into the distance of the jungle, where there was a commotion, which was getting closer and louder. Suddenly, there was a bang, and a huge body ran out of the woods, it was a grizzly bear! The grizzly bear ran into the stream, and without looking at the zombies, he quickly ran across the stream and towards the sea.
The zombie stood in the stream in a daze, and after a while, he saw more little beasts running out of the jungle, rabbits, monkeys, capybaras, civets, pythons, sheep, marmots, wild boars, possums, raccoons, wild cats, leopards, civets, and the wolf that stole the dried zombie fish was also among them, and all the animals were running wildly, flowing across the stream, running past the zombies in a daze.
The zombie looked up and saw that in the distant jungle, a high column of smoke was raised, and the red light of the flame could be faintly seen, it was a forest fire, and the lightning strike ignited a dry tree, and the tree ignited the dead branches and leaves buried in the ground for many years, igniting a raging forest fire, and the large and small animals in the forest were forced to run desperately by this forest fire, and the beasts and herbivores were crowded together, only caring about running for their lives, forgetting to hunt.
The zombie did not know fear, he stood in the stream in a daze, watching the wildfire burning closer and closer, the billowing smoke rolled over, suffocating all life, but the zombie remained unmoved, but strode towards the jungle, because he heard a bleating sound, it was his ewe. It's stuck in a sea of fire.
When the zombie found the ewe in the billowing smoke and heat, it was entangled in the hooves of a dead vine, struggling in vain, and as soon as the zombie stretched out his hand, he broke the dead vine, and as soon as the ewe got out, she ran towards the sea out of instinct, and the zombie hurriedly chased after it - it was a sheep that belonged to him, and it could not be lost.
When the zombie ran after the ewe across the beach, he picked up a few dried fish and held them in his arms and ran towards the sea.
When the zombies ran to the beach, a large group of animals were already crowded on the beach, and behind them, the smoke of the forest fire even obscured the towering figure of the volcano, and a wave of heat rolled in, and the animals were forced to hide in the sea, and even some birds were killed by the smoke, fell to the ground, and immediately burned to charcoal.
This forest fire burned for four days, until the fifth day it rained heavily and the fire was extinguished, the zombie did not care about the fire and smoke, during these days, he took his ewes to stay on the beach, ate the dried fish he brought with him, and when he was thirsty, he drank goat's milk.
And the rest of the animals on the beach, after escaping the wildfire, soon began to kill each other, wolves and civets chased rabbits and capybaras, leopards had already scurried to a reef with a civet cat, gobbling and biting, and grizzly bears slapped a marmot flat and stuffed it into its mouth.
Some of the small animals resisted desperately, and some fled along the beach, but after running for long, a huge cliff blocked the way, and it turned out that this beach was a dead place, and there were cliffs and rocks at both ends. In order to survive, the small animals had to jump into the sea and swim to the open sea, but soon because of the strong wind and waves, they drowned in the sea, and were chased by wolves who could also swim, and returned to the beach with floating corpses in their mouths to munch on them.
A python hit the idea of a zombie ewe, and it easily entangled the ewe, opened its mouth wider and wider, and swallowed half of the ewe's head. The ewe is not dead for a while. The four hooves twitched, where did the zombie allow the python to eat its own sheep, pounced, raised the stone knife and chopped it indiscriminately. Forcibly chopped off the neck of the python. He lifted the broken snake body. Brought it to his mouth and gulped down snake blood.
Zombies are the animals that have fled to the beach and live the most freehand. He didn't need to drink fresh water, his food consisted of pythons and dried fish, and sometimes he could drink some goat's milk, and the bushes by the sea, which were not affected by the fire, also gave the ewes enough food, and a zombie and a sheep lived a very nourishing life.
However, in order to survive, a conflict broke out between several fierce beasts.
The grizzly bear was the most powerful, and occupied a corner of the beach, where there was a stream that flowed out of the dense forest, and other small animals came to drink water, and were either driven away by the grizzly bear, or became its belly food; The leopard stood on the reef and from time to time rushed onto the beach, striking a lightning blow and taking away a rabbit or mongoose; Several wolves appeared to be a family, led by a strong adult wolf, in a jungle that had been lucky enough not to be caught in the fire.
In addition, there are several small carnivores such as civets, and the wolf that stole the dried zombie fish seems to be a lone wolf, and it is not with the wolves.
No animals infringed on the zombies, especially after he killed the anaconda constrictor.
The python's skin is very tough, the zombie uses a stone knife to cut the meat under the skin to eat, and finally leaves a relatively complete snake skin, the zombie has no teacher to wrap the snake skin around the waist, covering his lower body that has been standing tall, the snake skin also reminds the beasts, if you provoke the zombie, what will happen to you.
After the fire was extinguished, the grizzly bear was the first to leave the creek, twisting its huge body, stepping on the ashes, and returning inland, and the leopard also quietly left, but the wolves and civets pounced on the creek guarded by the grizzly bear—they were already thirsty.
Soon these small carnivores fought fiercely for water, and the zombies and their ewes occupied a small place by the stream, watching the animals tear each other apart, the civets confronted the wolves with their teeth and claws, and the wild cats and marmots confronted each other, erecting their hair all over their bodies, whining and threatening from their throats.
Just as the animals by the stream were in a mess, suddenly, a slender and agile figure jumped over, it was a leopard! It didn't leave, but hid, and when the beasts came to the stream to drink, it made a surprise attack.
The leopard is a very intelligent animal, and it knows that after a forest fire, many animals will die in the fire, and it will be difficult to catch food in the next period of time, so the leopard uses the only fresh water source on this beach to launch a wonderful sneak attack.
The leopard succeeded, and when it suddenly came out, the beasts were either bowing their heads to drink, or they were biting each other in order to seize a position, and in a hurry, the head wolf of the pack was bitten by the leopard on the throat, and in a crisp click, the throat was broken, and after killing the most threatening head wolf, the leopard pounced on a civet, knocked it down with one palm, and bit it on the back of the neck, and then it killed a marmot.
By the time the leopard stopped killing, a pile of animal carcasses had fallen by the stream, and all the other animals had scattered, except for the zombie and his sheep standing by the stream.
The leopard stared at the zombie, and the zombie stared at the leopard, and the leopard hesitated whether to attack the zombie, and the zombie, because they were well fed, had no desire to prey, and the two were at a stalemate for a while.
Suddenly, a whimper came from the zombie's feet, and he looked down to see that the lone wolf was dragging a wounded leg and crawling towards him, and there was a whimper in his throat.
It turned out that this lone wolf was also bitten by a leopard in the chaos, and it struggled to crawl towards the zombie, actually asking it for help.
The leopard saw that the food he had captured actually wanted to escape, and took a step forward, and the zombie also moved, and he also took a step forward, the leopard showed its teeth menacingly, and the zombie waved the stone knife in his hand, and also roared.
The leopard hesitated, and turned its head to look at the carcasses of several animals by the stream—the spoils had enough to eat for a long time, and it seemed that it could not afford to fight the unknown enemy of zombies for the sake of a skinny lone wolf.
The leopard turned its head and dragged the wolf's carcass back to the reef, staring at the zombies as they began to eat.
The lone wolf crawled to the zombie's legs, licked his feet, and made a flattering whimper, the zombie ignored the lone wolf, and was busy taking care of his sheep, because the ewe saw the lone wolf approaching, bleated in fright, and ran away, and the zombie chased after him, grabbed the horns, and took the ewe, and walked inland, he wanted to return to his home - the stone cave.
The lone wolf limped after the zombie.
After the wildfire, it is not all ashes, although some large trees have been burned with branches and leaves, and the skin has become charred, but the roots are not damaged, on the contrary, with the rain, the ashes of the plants and trees will make them grow stronger, and soon, the land will be lush again, which is the cycle of life.
The zombie suddenly stopped, and in the midst of the ashes, he saw an animal that had been burned alive by the fire, and the animal could no longer see its original form, and it had fallen on a pile of rocks like a large piece of coke.
The zombie sniffled, he smelled a familiar smell, and he wandered around in front of the burned animal for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled a piece of meat from the animal and stuffed it into his mouth.
It was cooked meat, cooked meat that had been burned by a wildfire, and although it was charred on the outside, there was a unique aroma of cooked meat on the inside.
The zombie had been eating raw meat and drinking raw blood before, and this was the first time he had eaten cooked meat, but for some reason, his mind silently told him that this kind of meat was exactly what he needed.
The zombie sat down, gobbling up the roasted animal, which was a gift from heaven and earth, when the lone wolf struggled to come to the zombie, the zombie had already thrown several bones at his feet, the lone wolf carefully leaned over his mouth, dragged a bone, and bit it, the zombie didn't care, just chewed on himself.
When the zombie advanced towards the stone cave again, there was one more thing on his shoulder - eating the remaining half of the animal charred corpse, and the lone wolf was also well fed, dragging a hind leg, and followed closely behind the zombie.
The zombie returned to the cave and drove the sheep inside, but the lone wolf stopped and lay down at the entrance of the cave. The zombie still ignored the lone wolf, who was staring at a large tree at the entrance of the stone cave.
The big tree was born close to the entrance of the cave, and it was like a big green umbrella, propped up on the entrance of the cave, and the big tree did not escape the wildfire, and all the leaves were burned out, and only the bare trunk was still standing at the mouth of the cave. (To be continued......)
PS: Today, thank you Wenbin 9999 for another huge reward, and thank you to all the book friends who have been accompanying and supporting Edamame, I have been too busy recently and have no time to communicate with book friends, I apologize here. Every time I get a recommendation, someone always jumps out and sprays edamame, and what should be said, edamame has said it before, so I simply ignore it. Because edamame has to write more than 10,000 words a day, he really doesn't have the energy to use it to put his mouth open.
Now in its third year of writing this book, Edamame has never given up and will not give up. This year, Edamame has signed contracts with several publishing houses, and there are several books to be published, and to be honest, the income of these manuscripts is 4 or 5 times that of this book. But Edamame didn't, Edamame still insisted, because I always wanted to write a book that I really wanted to write, and write about the perception of the world in my heart, so no matter what kind of wind and rain I encountered, Edamame will never stop.
This is Yashan, and our happy life continues.
