doom monster

Chapter 17

After breakfast, Tan Donghua took Yu Qiu out to let the wind go. After all, the place is narrow, and the posture must not be able to stretch to the fullest. It is inevitable that the back will hurt and the bones will hurt when he wakes up.

As a result, after walking through two aisles, I saw people's heads rushing in front of me, and there were faint noises and intertwined exclamations; Suddenly a seedling grew out of it.

Yu Qiuzai is clear about what the environment has been like since the end of the world, but he has never seen any living plants or animals along the way.Driven by strong curiosity, Yu Qiu couldn't help but join in the fun like those people.

There were a lot of onlookers, and Yu Qiu took advantage of his thin stature to get into the wave of people and squeezed to the front.

His eyes wandered around, and all he saw was the bare land. His eyes flicked to a certain place and paused for two seconds before freezing.

The heavy rain experienced a few days ago did not wash the world into a new look, but in just a few days, the wet soil had already dried up. Under the scorching sun with an abnormally high temperature, the dry soil But there is a small seedling in the gap to survive; the small seedling is small and small like a bean sprout, and the little green of the sprout head is particularly clear and conspicuous in the pile of dead branches and leaves.

The soil bag where the new seedlings are located is very loose, giving people the feeling that the soil has just been loosened not long ago.

It was obvious that Yuqiu was not the only one who noticed this strangeness. Xiangzi who was standing at the front looked at the skinny and skinny body, but when he used the shovel, he was accurate.

A hole was soon dug out of the soil clod near the seedling.The onlookers seemed to have their throats choked, and the audience fell silent for a moment.

"Fuck, who the hell buried it." A man in the crowd spoke first, and as his words fell, the crowd gradually became agitated.

"Do you want everyone to be buried together, and the agreed rules are all fucking farts?"

"Come out, whoever buried it will come out by himself." A few of the grumpy ones sweared directly, swearing as if to cover up their inner panic.

Emotions are always easy to be exaggerated. After a while, the crowd exploded, and the discussions couldn't stop.

The head of a person exposed in the pit violated everyone's taboo.

The head and face are blurry and ugly, and the repeatedly gray hair connected to the scalp can vaguely identify an old man.

The old man's dead fish-like white, lifeless sunken eyes announced the fact that he died unexpectedly, and the eyelids were unwilling to close for a long time.The finely divided soil was sunken in the eye sockets, mixed with turbid blood; the skull cap at the back of the head seemed to have been hit hard, and the brains contained in it flowed into the soil, and the green dot in the middle of the gray-white pool was just right. It was the seedling I saw first.

The young seedlings are verdant and verdant, and in this world where it is difficult to breathe, there is a tenacious vitality blooming abruptly and vividly.

After the end of the world, people have returned to farming, but no matter how hard they try to plant the seeds, it is difficult to survive. They either rot or cannot take root at all, let alone germinate, not to mention there is no water source for irrigation; because whether it is a lake in a river The water quality in the water is all deteriorating. How can the water that can't even wash your hands water the plants, and how can it supply the needs of human survival.

The reason why they are destitute and everyone is in a state of distress is because resources cannot be regenerated; everyone knows that without food and water, death is not far away.

Half a month ago, I was fed and clothed like a dream, and suddenly there was nothing left after the dream was punctured. It was like being given by God and then taken away. I was so caught off guard and unable to resist. And unable to return to heaven.

The young and fresh life hurt everyone's eyes, as if only complaints and resentment could relieve the collapsed inner world.

There was not one but three dead corpses in the ground like rags. Xiangzi had already stepped aside, and the leader, Old Deng, took two steps forward to stare at the seedling thoughtfully, and raised his hand for a long time. He gestured to Xiangzi for something.

Xiangzi's fingers trembled a little, he looked at Old Deng hesitantly, and picked up the shovel to test his father's conjecture.

The sharp shovel has come its turn, as long as it is lightly shoveled, the doubts can be easily solved...

"stop."

A middle-aged woman in the crowd suddenly rushed out, stopped in front of the corpses, and screamed with tears in her eyes: "She is my mother."

Xiangzi was stunned, looked at the woman who threw herself into the trap for a while, and suddenly laughed, as if looking at a mentally retarded: "She is your mother...then you go and accompany her."

"Sister Xu, the village is so big, and the ancestors have taken root here for generations, who has nothing to do with everyone, let alone brothers and sisters, I don't know how many cousins, if you are so filial, you can follow; although this place used to be Your family contracted it, but the actual ownership of the land belongs to everyone, and you buried three corpses without saying a word, are you...really not afraid?"

Xiangzi was not polite when he spoke, and the woman who was trying to be aggressive couldn't say a word, her face turned pale and blue for a while, and she looked a little ugly when she saw no one helping her.

Old Deng watched the farce from the sidelines, frowned and stopped Xiangzi: "Nonsense, what are you talking about?" "Apologize to your sister Xu."

As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said apologetically, "Xiao Xu, Xiangzi's outrageous words are because I can't teach him well, so don't take it to heart."

As soon as these words came out, some people were not happy: "I think Xiangzi is right. Now the world has become like this. Everyone is working hard to live. She is the one who is messing around. Hers are relatives, and ours is not. Is that so we can all move our dead family members there. Village chief, you are so kind, if Xiangzi did something wrong, don’t blame him.”

Everyone echoed: "That's right, that's right." The woman's face was red, her mouth was no match for a hundred mouths, she had enough energy to spare, so she could only shut her mouth completely.

After this little episode, the scene became quiet again.

Xiangzi swallowed, bit his bullet, and repeated what he hadn't done just now.

The high temperature in August made the corpse severely decomposed. The soft tissue on the body gradually disappeared and covered the white bones, while the brain in the skull was still very fresh, gray and white like tofu.

Xiangzi was a little nauseous. Although he was quite bold, he had a bottom line; even if this corpse turned into a zombie, it was still a human being after all.

It didn't take much effort to dig with his fingers, and he quickly found a brown pebble the size of a soybean.

The stone was covered with a thin layer of red and white. Xiangzi wiped some off with his fingers, and just as he was about to hand it to Old Deng's head, he heard a slight click.

The brown coat on the stone's surface was very fragile, and Xiangzi peeled off the coat just by pinching it with two fingers, revealing a small reddish seed, a bit smaller than a soybean.

The light red seeds are vivid and distinct, but they are also sinful because of their origin.

Old Deng took it, and buried the seeds in the soil under everyone's gaze.

Life is already pushing people to the point of starvation. In fact, even the hard and unpalatable pancakes are almost running out, so it is a choice to live or die.

Whether it is cruel or immoral, many times people have never had many options to choose from.In the reality where it is so difficult to even live, when the order that restrains us gradually disappears, the most primitive desire will open its fangs and break free from the cage of restraint.

Just to live.
