Unknown underground cave, this place is extremely dark, many people are hesitant to lean against the mountain wall, they are very confused about the future, from time to time I hear someone crying quietly.

"Water..."

The eyelids trembled, and then a violent thirst came from his throat, Zhang Xiaoming's throat seemed to be about to dry and crack, he felt very uncomfortable, his tongue touched his lips, and found that his lips had already cracked, he wanted to open his eyes, but found that he was dizzy and had no strength in his body.

The woman's voice of crying softly floated in Zhang Xiaoming's ears: "Woo woo, you dead child, you finally woke up!" ”

A straw was handed to Zhang Xiaoming's mouth, and then he sucked it as if he was holding a life-saving straw.

The salty smell of blood filled his throat, and Zhang Xiaoming felt doubtful, but the thirst kept coming, and he took two more sips.

After these two mouthfuls, he finally felt that he had regained a lot of strength.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was actually lying in his mother's arms, and they seemed to be in a dim cave, and there were quite a few people around, as if they were from the neighborhood, their faces were yellow, and their lips were white, as if they had not eaten for several days.

"Mom, how are you?"

Zhang Xiaoming turned his head slightly to look at his mother, he was suddenly stunned, and his mother's palms were bleeding.

He suddenly realized that what he had just drunk was actually the blood in the palm of his mother's right hand, and a big hole was cracked in the palm of his mother's hand, and it was obviously not the first time he had fed him with the continuous scarring on it.

Tears flowed from his eyes, and an indescribable discomfort passed from the bottom of his heart to his eyes, and he wanted to cry.

He also wondered why everyone had gathered in this cave.

"Good, don't cry child, just wake up, just wake up!"

Wang Xiaomei picked up the bloody white cloth on the ground, then wrapped it up, as if she was used to it, and after wrapping it, she stroked Zhang Xiaoming's forehead with her left hand, as if to test whether she had a fever.

"Mom, what's wrong with us? Why come to the cave? Where's Dad? ”

Zhang Xiaoming propped up his body hard, he saw his mother's miserable white lips, his face was very ugly, he wanted to reduce his mother's burden, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his eyes were a little black as soon as he made a move.

"Don't worry, your dad went out hunting, there are a lot of people and it's okay! Come eat something first, don't go hungry! ”

Wang Xiaomei quickly held her son's body, and she handed her son a few small biscuits, which she secretly hid in her arms, and she was reluctant to eat a few bites.

"Hey, Gua Wazi, you finally woke up, you don't know how worried your mother is in the past half a month, if you haven't been breathing weakly, we are ready to bury you..."

An aunt next to her came over, Zhang Xiaoming knew her, she was Aunt Wang in the community, and the relationship between the two families was usually good, and Aunt Wang often gave vegetables or snacks to their families.

"Auntie, tell me, what happened? Why aren't we in the community? Everyone's in the cave? ”

Zhang Xiaoming ate the biscuits with a puzzled face, and he wondered, why didn't he send himself to the hospital? And why did everyone run into the cave?

Look at the facilities in the cave, pots and pans, quilts, clothes, etc., and even the walls of the cave have been carved out of a small storage compartment, which is full of various daily necessities.

It's a trend to stay here for a long time.

Could it really be that something is really going on outside? Fighting? Even if you want to go to war, you don't have to.

Aunt Wang's face changed dramatically at first, and then she sighed, tears flowed from her eyes, and her expression was very uncomfortable.

"Alas, child, it's hard to put into words, the global drought, in just ten days, all the lakes have dried up, all the water on the earth is drilling into the ground, the weather outside is hot, all kinds of giant animals come out of nowhere and all drill into the ground..."

Zhang Xiaoming was more and more surprised when he heard this, he knew that the weather had been dry recently, but so many things had happened on the earth in just over half a month?

After his mother's explanation to Aunt Wang, he finally learned that the two friends had sent him to the hospital first, and then there were too many people in the hospital, and there were no beds in it at all.

After spending half a day in the hospital corridor, his parents really had no choice but to take him home.

And the doctor also said that bed rest is fine, but I didn't expect this bed rest to rest for more than half a month.

In the past six months, many strange things have happened.

Animals mutate, rivers dry up, the earth cracks, humans migrate, trees wither, and there are many unknown things Aunt Wang can't tell, after all, she has never been out of this underground cave, and her ability to express herself may really not be good.

"Come on, come on, come water, I took the water for a day, and finally filled a basin of water, and everyone can share a small cup today! I promise I didn't take a sip! ”

A dirty little fat man cautiously walked from the outside of the cave with a large basin, and then put the basin on the ground, for fear of slipping and spilling it when he walked into the cave.

He was followed by two teenagers, each holding an iron rod in their hands.

Looking at the posture of the three of them, it is completely like protecting the baby, and there are diamonds in the big basin.

"A glass of water for a family, don't grab it in line!"

The crowd in the cave was surging, everyone was quietly lined up with cups, and no one cut in line, which was better than the army.

Wang Xiaomei was about to get up, but she didn't stand up after climbing a few times, but almost fell, Zhang Xiaoming hurriedly grabbed her mother.

"Mom, I'll go, you will rest, I'm fine!"

Zhang Xiaoming gave his mother an affirmative look, and then walked over with the water cup his mother handed him.

He knew two of the three teenagers in front of him, both of whom were from his own community and his classmates, and he was quietly at the back of the line, as quiet as everyone else.

The water is divided quickly, and everyone is very well-behaved.

"Chubby, family."

"Brother Ming, are you awake? Great, I'm really worried about us! ”

"yes, I almost thought you were going to die!"

Finally it was Zhang Xiaoming's turn, and the three of them chatted happily.

"Brother Laiming, I secretly hid a glass of water for you, drink it now, don't let people see it, rest assured that this is our own people!"

Wang Xiaopang looked at the two friends around him, looked at the cave again, and then pulled Zhang Xiaoming to run out.

After running for a while, Wang Xiaopang mysteriously deducted a stone from the cave wall, revealing several small water cups inside, he took out a cup and handed it to Zhang Xiaoming.

"Goo..."

To be honest, Zhang Xiaoming was really thirsty, and he was not hypocritical, so he drank that glass of water.

The taste of this water is a little strange, a little sour and salty...

"Come and help someone!"

"Someone is hurt, is there any clear water? Get some water, hurry up! Hurriedly!!! ”

The voice came from the outermost part of the cave, and it seemed to be very anxious.
