Brute beasts are ferocious, ruthless, and violent, which is the inherent concept of every person in the country who abandons the boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the history of more than 200 years, countless towns and cities have been destroyed by brute beasts, and countless human beings have been displaced in a desolation after their homes were destroyed.

Those who were a little more fortunate managed to break through the territory of the brutes and became inferior people or slaves in the new towns, while those who were unlucky were trapped in the ruins infested by the brutes, struggling helplessly, waiting for their own ends.

This struggle is powerless, but it is also tenacious.

It is said that the first batch of human beings struggled for their lives after the depletion of scientific and technological weapons, and finally broke through the boundaries of the physical body and came into contact with the vitality of heaven and earth and a new world.

The destruction of every town and city means the weakening of human power, but it also means the rapid rise of new abilities, and almost all the families of countless towns and cities today have grown up from this model.

Xinfan Town was destroyed in October 222, when the wading beasts of the Southern Regions River wiped out the four hundred soldiers in the town, there were still more than 40,000 people in the lost Xinfan Town, and in the scattered escape, only a few thousand people successfully arrived in the area of Qindu Town, and the remaining ones either died in the mouths of the brute beasts, or gathered into many small groups, struggling to survive in the brute beasts through various terrain.

The ruins of the old town have become a forbidden place, tens of thousands of living beings have lost their lives while being destroyed, and the overwhelming resentment has become the best source of growth for the dead and ghost clans, but in a few months, the ruins have been completely occupied, and anyone who tries to break in will be violently attacked.

And the direction of the Southern Regions River is the territory of the demon clan water beasts. When the town was founded four years ago, the 2,000 troops did clean up the Nanyu River, but to their surprise, the river swelled many times over the years, bringing the water beasts from the southeast with them, thus causing the destruction of Xinfan Town.

To the north, due to the destruction of Xinfan Town, the three roads leading to Qindu, Heilin, and Wangya also lost their original role, and naturally there was no town defender to maintain them. Therefore, the quicksand area north of the ruins of Xinfan was also occupied by many brute beasts, besieging tens of thousands of refugees.

The result of struggling in this hostile fantasy is a daily struggle for survival, not only fighting to the death against brutes, but also running around for food and water.

The Ugush, who had been trapped in the quicksand for seven months, knew this very well.

Especially after entering the summer, the three scorching suns are rapidly steaming the quicksand, and the demand for water far exceeds the demand for food, after all, the human body is so dependent on water.

Ugush's lips hadn't touched liquid for two days, even his own urine had been dropping the last drop three days ago, his curly hair had turned yellow, and the jet-black lips had burst into bursts of chapped green skin, and every time he sipped his mouth, a few bits of dead skin would fall to the ground like grains of sand, and then be buried by yellow.

Fortunately, he is not alone, because a person cannot survive in a wasteland full of wild beasts.

Aware of this, the Ugush fled the ruins of Xinfan with a group of several hundred outcasts. It's just that the number has been rapidly reduced in half a year, and there are more than two hundred people in the first month alone, and now, there are only nine people left in the entire team, and he has become the leader of the last nine people from the original insignificant member.

Being a leader is not an easy person, and the Ugush is nearly forty years old, but he feels that the growth in these months is enough to be equal to the sum of the previous decades.

The most important thing he learned was that man could not only be used to obtain supplies or vent desires, but also to quench his thirst and hunger.

This was realized during the frost wave in early February.

......

In the frost tide, the traces of wild beasts were scarce, and in the white and yellow sky, their team lost its sense of direction. For five days, they had not received even a single bite of food, and the team of more than 100 people was so hungry that they were dizzy, and some of them were already in a state of weakness, and the speed of their movements became extremely slow.

Just as the night party was resting, the brute appeared, and only two or three first-class brute beasts killed more than a dozen people in a matter of minutes, and finally they were driven away by the desperate crowd with torches, clubs, and howls, and left with the corpses of several of their companions in their mouths.

Looking at the several corpses left on the ground, some cried, while others were silent, and then a strange atmosphere swirled in the crowd.

"Bury them!"

The proposal was made, and a dozen or so men with some strength were organized and the bodies were removed from the team area.

The Ugush was among the group that was carrying the corpses.

The bodies were carried far from the camp, out of sight, and placed on the ground, but only on the ground, and no one began to dig the pit.

"We shouldn't just bury them. The man who started the proposal spoke again: "They have a better use." ”

No one echoed him, no one opposed him, and everyone stood silent.

Then Ugush saw the man crouch down beside a corpse, his hand stroking over the flesh of the corpse, which had not yet hardened, and touching the wound, so that the whole palm of his hand was stained red.

"It's all for everyone's survival......"

The man lowered his head and looked at the red liquid in his palm, his throat twitching.

"Yes, for everyone!"

The other man whispered, as if to convince others, as if to convince himself.

Then he also crouched down beside the corpse of a woman, who vaguely remembered lying beside the man every night when the woman was still alive.

Grabbing the long hair with both hands, he covered the face of the female corpse in some panic, and then went down, tearing vigorously at the wound on his right arm, tearing off a piece of flesh the size of a palm.

Everyone watched in silence, as if they were looking at the textbook, and no one spoke, including the Ugush.

Then, all the people who were standing squatted down one after another, surrounded all the corpses, and began the same movement.

That night, a small pit had been added somewhere in the quicksands, and the traces of it had disappeared soon after being buried, and the team of the Ugush had come to life again.

The smell of broth wafted through the camp, and they were all thanking the men who had gone out to carry the corpses for having encountered the beast, killed it, dismembered it, and brought back food for everyone.

Everyone laughed, some with a reluctant smile, some with an innocent smile, and some with a horrible smile.

Ugush thought: Yes, everything is for everyone's survival.

......

Eight men, five men and three women behind Ugush, two of whom were seven or eight years old, were led by a haggard woman, their eyelids drooping dryly, as if they might collapse at any moment.

"Mama, Bao'er is thirsty ......"

The slightly taller child whispered, and the woman showed a distressed look and touched his head: "Bao'er, bear with me, there will be water to drink soon...... Xiaoshun, what's wrong with you?"

The other boy closed his eyes at the woman's screams and dragged half of his body to the ground, but fell into a coma due to severe dehydration.

The Ugush looked back at the scene, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little irritation.

The two children were always protected by the woman, who joined the team halfway through, and the woman did not hesitate to give everything she did to save their lives. In the first days, as long as the two boys fell asleep, she would be pulled away by different men, biting her lip and enduring the cost of the survival of the three.

The remaining four men have all done the same thing, so the two boys have been able to support until now, all because of the false feelings they endured during those nights.

But Ugush was a little tired, and when his survival was threatened, the momentary pleasure in his body could no longer raise his feelings of pity, and when the boy called Xiaoshun fell, his irritated eyes were mixed with vague cruelty.

"Brother Wu, please, please give Xiaoshun a little more water!"

The irritable mood suddenly climbed several layers, his face flashed, and he replied coldly: "We haven't drunk water for two days, and you don't know." And if it weren't for these two little ones of yours, we'd be able to hold out for at least a few days! You're embarrassed to ask us for water?"

The woman's expression seemed to be about to shed tears, but the tear ducts had dried up, and she choked up a few times, but not even the slightest mist appeared in her eye sockets.

"Xiaoshun...... Xiaoshun, wake up......"

The woman knelt on the ground, holding Xiaoshun and calling constantly, but she never woke up the boy in her arms. Another boy named Bao'er, who was supposed to be Xiaoshun's brother, squatted beside the woman and shook it, but there was no response.

He turned his head to the Ugush and cried, "Uncle, give my brother some more water!"

Ugush's eyes flashed with anger, and he ignored Bao'er and looked at the other three men instead.

An inexplicable look passed silently in the four pairs of eyes, a kind of longing, a kind of greed, and then turned into a warning to look at the remaining two women.

"Actually, if you want to drink water, there is a way......

The woman immediately raised her head: "Brother Wu, what can be done?"

The other two women lowered their heads, as if avoiding the men's eyes, while the men focused on the choked woman on the ground, their eyes shining terribly.

Ugush's eyes were fixed on the woman's neck, chest, and thighs, and his throat unconsciously stirred twice: "Although we can't find water, we are not short of water...... Did you know that 70 percent of your body is made up of water......"

The woman's choking stopped, and she looked at Ugush in horror, then glanced at the rest of the adults in horror, and finally looked down at Xiaoshun in her arms.

Bao'er didn't understand Ugush's words, and shook the woman in confusion: "Mom, do you still have water? Why don't you take it out and give it to your brother to drink? Bao'er is also thirsty......

The woman looked up, her empty eyes gathering on Bao'er's body for a moment, and then looked at the ground in a sloppy manner.

"Brother Wu, promise me one thing, okay?"

Ugush's eyes flashed with joy, and he knew that his idea was coming true: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help you complete it!"

The woman held the unconscious Xiaoshun with one hand, touched Bao'er's head with the other, and her voice was low, as if she was explaining the aftermath: "Help me take care of them, so that Bao'er and Xiaoshun can live well, okay......"

The corners of the men's mouths curved, and the other two women standing also looked up at the thin figure, swallowing with difficulty, and enduring.

"Okay!" Ugush's voice was urgent, "I promise you, I will let them live!"

The woman floated a weak smile and stroked Bao'er's hair: "Bao'er, go to sleep, you will have water to drink when you wake up...... Bao'er ......"

Bao'er fell asleep, and then woke up, and when she woke up, she had a salty and wet feeling in her mouth, and she was no longer thirsty, and Xiaoshun seemed to be no longer thirsty, and lay quietly beside him.

It's just that the woman who was holding them is gone, and it seems that she has abandoned everyone.

Ugush grilled the skewers in his hand, ignoring Bao'er's inquiries, thinking about that sentence over and over again.

Yes, it's all about survival!
