The wind passed through the woods, rustling the leaves, with occasional indistinct and strange sounds.

From time to time, some mutated animals suddenly came out of the corner and attacked, and they were all punched into meatloaf by the little clay figurines.

Zhang Xiaojuan followed the little clay figure to dig crystal nuclei behind the buttocks, and after walking for half an hour, she had already dug up a small bag of crystal nuclei one after another.

"It's been so long, I haven't even seen a single figure, could it be that they are no longer here?" Xiao Yu looked back at Lu Sheng uncertainly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rocket suddenly raised his head and sniffed vigorously, and then wagged his tail excitedly.

It screamed twice, and plunged headlong into the bushes in front of it.

Lu Sheng quickened his pace, "Keep up." ”

Several people followed the rocket for a few hundred meters or so, and Lu Sheng suddenly stopped, frowned and sniffed, "Do you smell it?" There's a scent. ”

The slightly bitter smell of grass is mixed with a hint of aroma.

It is a compound cereal aroma mixed with a sweet taste that is rare in the last days.

The rest of the people also followed her example and took two hard puffs, all of which showed surprised looks.

Zhang Xiaojuan's movement was the largest, "It seems to be the smell of toast?" ”

"Really...... It's like freshly baked bread, fragrant. When it came to eating, Han Rui immediately came over like a puppy.

When her voice fell, everyone present suddenly became nervous.

It's a luxury to be able to fill your stomach now, where would anyone bake bread in the mutated jungle that somehow came out?

Ordinary people will hide in the corner and eat it secretly even if they have food, and they will not blatantly make such a big taste.

Lu Sheng touched the head of the rocket.

Canines have an unusually sensitive sense of smell, and the rocket will take everyone in this direction when they smell it first.

She put her fingers to her lips and motioned for everyone to lower their voices, and after assigning tasks with gestures, the group cautiously followed the source of the scent.

After walking for a few minutes, a faint human voice finally came from ahead.

"There was a group of men encamped in front."

Xu Yi, who was walking in the front, leaned down slightly, grabbed Lu Sheng's wrist and pulled her behind her.

More than a dozen meters away, several embarrassed men were huddled under a stout towering tree, and a few oval-shaped fruit-like things were roasting on the bonfire at their feet.

A few people were hungry and stabbed the thing with knives from time to time, as if to check if it was cooked.

"The smell seems to come from a campfire." Zhang Xiaojuan lay on the back of the rocket, and the tip of her nose leaned forward, "What is that thing?" Looks like a coconut? ”

Equivalent to the length of an adult's forearm, it has a brownish-green shell that looks like a slightly darker coconut.

It was about ripe, and the man in the lead poked it with a knife, and roared to bring the hot fruit without gloves.

A knife cut through the hard shell, grabbed the milky white flesh inside with his bare hands, and stuffed it into his mouth frantically. Seeing this, several other people immediately turned red and got up one after another to compete for the remaining fruits.

There were five people in total, four tall middle-aged people each grabbed a fruit, and only a thin and thin young man was pushed aside, and he could only watch the other people feast.

"Brother Pan, please, can you give me a little food?" The skinny young man pleaded with a smile on his face.

He was answered with a strong kick.

Their rough fingers were burned red, and soon large and small blisters bulged, and their lips and mouths were blurred with hot flesh, still devouring the steaming flesh.

The flesh of these fruits is soft in texture, and the texture of the flour is glutinous after being broken, which looks like steamed buns and rice cakes. With the action of several people breaking away, the tempting sweet fragrance drilled into the noses of Lu Sheng and the others along the wind.

"Is this a fruit? Or vegetables? How I've never seen anything like this. Sun Tiantian squeezed Lu Sheng's side, pinched her nose and asked lowly.

"It is the fruit of the bread tree." Xu Yi said lightly.

The children in question turned their heads in surprise.

The first time I heard that bread could grow on a tree......

"Generally grown in tropical areas, the flesh contains a lot of starch, and the roasted taste is between bread and potatoes, which is the main food ration of many locals."

Teacher Xu's small class started again, "It is normal that it has not been introduced in China, and I have not seen it." ”

"Nature is amazing, wild fruit can bake bread." Han Rui carefully sucked it again, "It smells even better than the bread sold in the store before the end of the world, and I smell a little hungry." ”

"Normal, after all, plants sweeten their fruits in order to attract humans and animals to eat them, so that they can spread their seeds and make it easier to reproduce." Zhang Xiaojuan rarely gave a serious explanation.

The group exchanged in low voices, and several men not far away had already gnawed the baked breadfruit.

The obvious bulge of the originally skinny belly contrasts sharply with the shriveled limbs.

It seemed that they were not having fun, and a few of them propped up their round bellies and looked greedily at the towering trees behind them.

Following the sight of several people, Lu Sheng and the others found that the trees were full of brown-green crumbling breadfruit.

Several men who were immobile after eating were holding their bodies and staggering to climb up the trunk of the tree to pick fruit, but they had just climbed to a height of about two meters, when one of them suddenly fell from the tree with a sway.

The rest of the people paused, and soon fell from the tree like dumplings.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

There were several muffled noises in a row.

Lu Sheng and his party stared closely, and after those people fell to the ground, there was no movement. The young man who had been squatting under the tree and waiting took a closer look, and then let out a terrible scream.

Lu Sheng took the lead in getting up, and when he got closer, everyone frowned collectively.

Several people's stomachs burst open, like ripe pumpkins, and the internal organs were almost invisible, only the milky white cotton wool-like substance like cotton candy continued to gush out desperately from the wounds.

When the young man saw the living man, he immediately rushed over and hid behind several people.

Those who have been able to live until now are no strangers to death. But it's the first time I've seen such a strange death.

Xu also motioned for everyone to take a few steps back and put on their masks collectively.

The cool breeze blew through, carrying wisps of cotton wool in an unknown direction.

"Why are these people full of cotton in their bellies?" Xiao Yu looked shocked.
