Those mushrooms you are talking about, is it delicious?

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: I don't know, no one dares to taste that

In his opinion, Elizabeth said this as if nuclear waste was good or not, and the villagers' attitude towards this thing was basically the same as the attitude of the people of the old world who avoided nuclear radiation. Not to mention tasting it, the villagers immediately hid farther away when they saw the mushroom disease, for fear that the mushrooms that came out of the patient's head would spew fungal spores and then infect them with the wind.

Not only the village chief, but even Zhao Jida was shocked.

Whenever the puppet girl begins to wonder if the Elizabeth in front of her is being impostored, the latter's nonsense can always play some new tricks and make her recover: Ah! Sure enough, this is Elizabeth, yes. feelings.

Oh Elizabeth nodded in disappointment, but it hadn't been on her face for two seconds, and when she poured some of the cut jumping worm meat into the pot, her eyes lit up immediately. Let's have some mushroom stew!

The village chief was so angry that she almost turned his back on her, and knocked on his crutches vigorously to emphasize: No one dares to eat that thing! There may be a risk of infection!

It's said that it's possible, but it may not be dyed! Let's try, life is about trying! Village Chief, where did you put the mushrooms! I'll pick it up!

Seeing that Elizabeth was ready to run all the way towards the point of no return to death, and was already eager to find a patient with mushroom disease, Zhao Xida stopped in a cold voice: Stop, Elizabeth, sit down!

The blue-haired girl who had just stood up heard this voice, and for no reason she was excited, and then sat back on the bench honestly under the gaze of the village chief as if she had seen a ghost.

Hey?

It wasn't until she sat down that Elizabeth came back to her senses, and looked at the doll girl a little strangely: Why did I subconsciously do what you said just now?

Zhao Xida slowly looked away: this is called conditioned reflex, discovered by a person named Pavlov

At this time, the village chief also set his eyes on the puppet girl, and asked with some hesitation.

Little girl, you should be from the big cities, right?

The big city that the village chief said naturally refers to other big forces outside the settlements, and they are different from small settlements that have some difficulty even surviving the winter, those who are backed by big cities and big forces do not say that they have no worries about food and clothing, at least their lives are still guaranteed, although there are slave classes in some big forces, but look at Zhao Xida's clothes and white and clean appearance

Of course, none of these things about the big city and the big forces were seen by the old village chief with his own eyes, but he heard them from an adventurer passing by. The adventurer's surname was Lu, he was a knowledgeable man, he had read a lot of books and traveled a lot, he had lived in their village for a while, and during Mr. Lu's temporary stay, he became friends with him and Mr. Fujino, and also pointed out the direction for the planning and development of the village.

Although the old village chief could no longer remember Mr. Lu's name, he could never forget the answer he received when he asked him why he was traveling in the dangerous wilderness.

I want to find a way to save humanity on my journey, but I can't save all mankind by spreading fire.

Wandering thoughts gradually returned to reality, and the old village chief saw Zhao Xida's inquiring gaze, and he pointed to the other party's coat that was only stained with a little dirt and dust: Because of the clothes you are wearing. Fun Cabinet

Then he pointed to his patched jacket and said with a smile.

It's different from all of us here.

At this time, the villagers also poked their heads out of their homes, and each moved the stove from his home, or simply several families shared a stove and began to make a fire to cook, and soon the village was full of cooking smoke, and the villagers either boiled porridge with water that was so thin that they could hardly see the rice grains, and added plants that did not know whether it was wild grass or wild vegetables to the pot, or took out the flatbread that had been baked a long time ago, carefully broke off a piece and put it in their mouths, until the saliva was completely soaked with the flatbread before they were willing to start chewing.

Zhao Xida noticed that they were wearing a lot of clothes, short sleeves with long sleeves, and they stuffed themselves in order to keep warm, and there were patches everywhere on their clothes.

The body is also dirty, unkempt, and the hair that has not been washed for a long time is tangled into a handful.

If you compare the image of these villagers with Elizabeth, you can see what the problem is, she and Elizabeth are a little clean and unusual, neat clothes, white and supple faces and hair, all of which are incompatible with the image of the villagers here.

Seeing that she didn't answer the village chief and didn't ask any more questions, when she had something unspeakable, she avoided answering, watching the water in the pot had begun to churn, the dark red jumping insect meat was boiled and gradually whitened, and a little milky white foam and grease also floated on the water surface with the boiling water, and the faint aroma of meat also faintly floated out of the pot.

The village chief unscrewed the cap of the spice bottle, followed with the cap with one hand, held the bottle with the other hand and gently shook his hand to pour the spice out of the bottle, and after pouring out a little spice, he showed a distressed expression again, and carefully poured some of the spice on the bottle cap back into the bottle, and then poured the remaining little spice into the pot, and then knocked down the air outlet under the stove with a cane to make the fire in the stove smaller.

Say, what do you want to hear this time? I've talked about my experiences before the catastrophe, and I've also told about my experiences when I was on the run, and I feel like I'm running out of things to talk about

Elizabeth thought for a moment: Why don't you tell the village chief about the things in this village this time? For example, how was the village founded?

Things in the village Ah the village chief squinted his eyes, and there was an expression of memory on his face, if you want to talk about the establishment, it was a long time ago

After the original Wei Village was destroyed by bugs and cordyceps, my uncle and aunt took us all the way to the big city, hoping to find rescue

At that time, everyone still retained the hope of rescue in their hearts, believing that they would wait for the rescue team sent by the state, believing that they could be rescued, uncles and aunts believed so, other adults also believed so, and my brothers and sisters and I who were ignorant also believed in this. But when we got to the city, all our illusions were shattered

It was also full of terrible bugs, and the streets were full of smoking, distorted cars, and many jumping insects were jumping around on the cars, eating corpses, their mouths were bloody, and their eyes were staring at us in the car with a faint yellow light

The village chief's body trembled uncontrollably, and as he remembered it, he once again remembered the nightmare that was engraved in his heart, and he could never get rid of the nightmare, and he could never wake up from the dream.

The bugs found out that we were calling for our companions and immediately chased after us, and we escaped from the car, and two or three uncles and aunts took a step slower to get us out of the car, and then, as a result, we were bitten to death, and we panicked and ran away in panic, and that was probably the fastest run in my life, and we ran and ran, and those bugs were chasing after us.

We ended up escaping to a residential building, where we were temporarily freed from them by a running elevator, but were also trapped by bugs wandering around the neighborhood for days.

However, fortunately, those insects did not know how to use the elevator to track us, but fortunately, the supplies that everyone brought when they escaped at that time were relatively sufficient, and there was no need to worry about food and drink, and fortunately, there were some well-wishers at that time, who were willing to open the door to accept us, and let us survive the most difficult days

He said three times in a row that it was okay, even after many years, he still had the happiness of the rest of his life on his face when he recalled it again.

But in the following days, the uncles and aunts have been paying attention to the rescue information from official channels, but neither radio, radio, mobile phone signals, or television signals have received any news about the rescue, nor even official news has come

At that time, an uncle suggested that we should take root here, if the insect plague and cordyceps disease were local outbreaks, this is a big city, and the probability of everyone helping each other to get rescue is also relatively high, and the uncles and aunts who live in this building are good people, and soon this building will become our stronghold

At that time, everyone watched and helped each other, united as one to overcome the difficulties, in order to overcome the disaster, they contributed their own small strength, blocked other entrances and exits of the community with wooden boards, actively rescued the survivors found in the surrounding area, risked being infected by Cordyceps disease, killed by insects to go out to explore, and at night, everyone began to sing in order to cheer themselves up, singing anything

The chief of the village did not continue, for he noticed that Elizabeth had looked away from her, and could not help but cast his gaze in the direction she was looking.

Standing there was a teenage girl wearing a torn jacket of unrecognizable color, with several patches on it, and a gray sweater that had balled a lot. The lower body looks like pants that are made up of several different fabrics. One foot is wearing a lot of sneakers with a little degummed soles, and the other foot is wearing cotton slippers made of unknown fabric.

She was staring at the side, her dark eyes glittering with a desire for meat, but she didn't dare to get too close, her long malnutrition had made her look thin and short, and her hair was unkempt and yellow like weeds.

Elizabeth beckoned to her warmly: Don't be afraid, why don't you come and eat together?

As a result, the little girl shrunk her neck as if she was frightened, turned around and ran away.

Elizabeth's hand froze in mid-air, and a look of chagrin appeared on her face: I look so terrible

The village chief smiled when he saw this, and gently stirred the pot of insect broth with a spoon, the aroma of the meat wafting out of the pot was already very strong, and the fragrance had aroused the attention of the villagers far away, and many people were looking at this side, and there was also a thick layer of oil on the clear water before, he stirred the broth while laughing and said, The children here are afraid that you are afraid of you, for fear of being infected by you and becoming your appearance
