It was getting late, and it wouldn't be long before night fell and covered the land.

Chen Fan stood in the crowd, like most people, standing on tiptoe, looking at the horizon in the distance, trying to look.

In the depths of the wilderness, the roar of a fierce beast sounded from time to time.

If the hunting party can't get back to the fort before it gets dark, they will face the boundless darkness and the beasts that attack anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt his arm tighten, and when he looked down, it turned out to be his mother beside him, who was pale, and grabbed his arm, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Mom, don't worry, Dad, they'll be back soon, right here."

He comforted softly.

The woman nodded, and then looked up, eagerly into the distance.

Chen Fan's eyes scanned the surroundings, and the faces of hundreds of people were full of anxiety and panic.

He sighed inwardly, I don't know why, just took a nap on the subway, and when he woke up, he crossed here, and today is the second day he crossed over.

This world is similar to the previous life, the difference is that ten years ago, the heavens and the earth changed, and birds and beasts, including flowers and trees, all changed, not only in size, but also in cruelty, bloodthirsty, and extremely aggressive.

Among the human race, there are awakened people, their spiritual power is far beyond ordinary people, they can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, some top awakened people, and even can destroy a town in a previous life with a single blow without fear of heat weapons.

Of course, the Awakened are a very small minority, and where they are, cities are gradually forming to attract survivors, and I heard that some large cities, as they were ten years ago, have electricity, internet, delicious food, clean water, and people are still working from 9 to 5 on the subway as they did in the past.

After all, resources are limited, and the vast majority of ordinary people are not qualified to enter the city, even if they are small, so they can only form a village to protect themselves and resist the fierce beasts.

Not to mention electricity, even the most basic life safety cannot be guaranteed, lack of food, medicine, energy, daily necessities, walking on the edge of life and death all day long.

For example, the original owner of the body, because he couldn't stand the hunger, ran out, ate unknown fruits in the wild, had a high fever for three days, and finally died with a whimper, allowing him to occupy the body.

"Could it be that something really happened?"

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

At this moment, from the wooden watchtower seven or eight meters high next to it, there was an excited shout, "It's coming!" They're coming! ”

"Really!"

"Where? Why didn't you see it? ”

"People can stand tall and see far away, but soon we will be able to see it too."

"Great, finally back."

The crowd was completely boiling, and when they looked into the distance, they saw that some small black dots slowly appeared on the horizon, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, everyone was relieved, and the smiles on their faces became thicker and thicker.

However, as the team approached, the smiles on people's faces gradually froze.

I saw a group of more than a dozen people, armed with bows, arrows and spears, describing embarrassment, several of them were supported to walk, and some were on their backs, even if they were walking normally, more or less on their bodies, they were also hung with colors.

You can see at a glance, and there is no prey.

More keen-eyed people found that the number of people was still a few less.

The team slowly approached and stopped in front of the drawbridge, the leader had a square face, a cold face, and a few bloody wounds on his right arm, but at this moment, his face was full of apology.

Time seems to freeze in this moment.

The man licked his chapped lips and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this time, we encountered two mid-level fierce beasts, they suddenly attacked, we, not only lost the original prey, Zhuzi, Ah Hua, Xiao Gao, all..."

Before he finished speaking, a few people in the crowd felt a whirlwind and fainted.

The crowd suddenly stirred, and the people around them lifted the fainted person up and sent him home.

The rest of the hunting party also bowed their heads in shame, not daring to look into the eyes of the old and weak women and children.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.

Dead?

Three also died at once.

It seems that in the memory of the original owner, this was the largest casualty.

The square-faced man at the head was the father of the original owner of the body, the leader who led the people to build this earthen fort.

There were sparse voices, some sobbing, some sighing, and some comforting them.

The hunting team slowly entered, and the suspension bridge in front of the door was also pulled up, and the entire camp was wrapped by a wall more than three meters high, which seemed solid and gave people a rare sense of security.

The wives and children of the injured were heartbroken when they saw the man seriously injured, but they remembered the few people who went out with them in the morning and never came back in the evening, and secretly rejoiced.

Those who were only slightly injured left with their families, and after a while, the sky was completely dark, and the whole camp was plunged into darkness, and they could only see the surroundings clearly with the help of the faint moonlight.

"Gordon, your arm."

The woman grabbed the square-faced man's right arm, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

Chen Fan came over, and just a few days after crossing, he was still a little uncomfortable with this identity.

"I'm fine."

Chen Guodong shook his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault, if I could have found those two beasts earlier, they wouldn't have been, and wouldn't..."

"Smack!"

A strong and powerful hand, patted on his shoulder, a bald man, comforted loudly: "Guodong, it's not your fault, if you want to blame, blame this damn world, those of us who survived, sooner or later there will be such a day." ”

"Let's go back and rest early."

He patted the latter's shoulder again, then smiled at Chen Fan, who had a serious face, bared his teeth, and went back with his family.

"Dad, let's go back first."

Chen Fan said loudly: "My brother is still at home." ”

Chen Guodong was stunned and nodded.

The whole earthen bunker fell into a deathly silence, and in the room next to it, the firelight danced, and from time to time there was a crackling and popping sound, and there was a weak conversation.

"Mom, I'm hungry and I want to eat more."

"Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

"But am I really hungry?"

"Obedient, if you eat those things, you really don't have anything to eat."

The voice faded into weakness.

Chen Guodong's face became more and more guilty.

Chen Fan caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart, although the original father, although he was silent, was an upright and kind person.

Every time there is prey, it is divided equally among the people in the village, raising those old and weak women and children, so that their own families are stretched, which makes many people complain.

Recently, bad luck, there are few prey, there is not much food in the whole village, and everyone is starving.

Winter is coming soon, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will really be a tragedy of cannibalism.
