MTL - The Return of Cambrian Period-Chapter 16 Global evolution

The two people experienced two sudden cooling in the past two days, and they were extremely distrustful of the current weather, so Cong Xia put the thick quilts in the room to the bed before going to bed. In order to make them feel better, Cong Xia also changed a set of bedding. It's a pity that Cheng Tianbi didn't appreciate it. He lay down and slept directly.

Cheng Tianbi was specially trained to fall asleep immediately under any circumstances in order to maintain sufficient physical strength, but Cong Xia is different. He has too much backlog in his heart. He believes that in this city, all people who do not see tomorrow At this time, he was as sleepy as he was.

The compressed biscuit that I ate during the day was already digested well at this time. He rubbed his stomach and felt hungry.

He forced himself to close his eyes. The original owner of this house should be a single male, the bedroom is a bed of 1.5 meters, the two men lie together, barely feel crowded, but very close. There was a sound of even breathing from the wall of the ear. He listened carefully, and gradually, his mood calmed down.

Anyway, at least he's not alone.

Cong Xia leaned closer to Cheng Tianbi, he felt a sense of security added to his heart, and when he was struggling, he finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the two were awakened by the commotion downstairs.

Cheng Tianbi sat up alertly, walked gently to the window, opened the curtains and looked downstairs.

Cong Xia also woke up and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Tianbi shook his head and stared intently downstairs.

Cong Xia went to him and looked downstairs. I saw a group of residents gathered at the patio in the center of the community. Some of the residents should be in the community. Some people took tools such as a shovel to clean up the new ones overnight Some weeds are listening to a white-haired old man shouting something.

Cheng Tianbi said: "Go, look down."

The two put on their clothes, brought guns into the wall and went downstairs together.

Walking downstairs, Cong Xia observed that those who were cleaning up the weeds were all women, and the group gathered to discuss what were all young men.

The appearance of two strange faces immediately caught the attention of others.

"Hey, there are two new people."

Everyone looked at them, and the white-haired man who was preaching something asked, "Are you from outside?"

Cheng Tianbi frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "Passing by, overnight."

"Are you going away? Where are you going?"

Cong Xia said, "We are not ready yet."

"Don't go, the military said, the world is the same. Now we can only survive by being tied together. You said, where can you go?"

Cheng Tianbi said: "Say something straight."

The white-haired old man came over, "Where did you come from? Don't you know anything about the situation outside?"

"do not know much."

The old man looked at them suspiciously. "Okay, I will give you a brief talk, and then I will tell you the purpose of persuading you to stay. We human beings now do not need me to say more, right? We were the bosses and wanted What we eat and what we eat is above all species, but now we have also entered the cycle of the food chain. There are countless animals and plants outside. If we want to eat, we eat us. Everything becomes dangerous. This sudden mutation, Even the government and the military can do nothing. The government can only supply four hours of water and a meal of compressed food every day. Our people can only take care of themselves. People like you can't live alone for two days. I think you are strong. Young, it ’s better to stay here and join the organization of our community, everyone has more hope for survival. "

There is no expression on Cheng Tianbi's face. "None of you is enough to feed yourself, and you will not feed people in vain. Let's say, what do you want us to do?"

Elderly Road: "I'll tell you the truth. The government distributes compressed food every day at noon, but one person can only receive one, not the one on behalf of us. There are still forty-two people in our community, half of them are old women and children For the past two days, we have to send ten people out of these 20 young adults to pick up food every day, and come back to share with you. If you join in, you can get two more, two more food, and those little dolls can Eat more. "

Cong Xia asked the key question, "Why only send young adults?"

The old man sighed. "Every day I go out, there are always one or two people who can't come back. If our young people can't come back, it's my old man's turn."

Cheng Tianbi asked, "Is the government distributing food or the army?"

"I don't know about this. Listen to them. They send out military uniforms, aren't the military and the government the same thing?"

Cheng Tianbi has no intention to explain to him, "Okay, let's go today, when will we set off."

"When they finish drawing lots, you can go together."

Cheng Tianbi said, "Are there any mutants in your community?"

There was a slight flash of strangeness on the old man's face, an expression of anger and jealousy, "No, if there is, there will not be so many people dead."

"Why do you say that?"

"The government is recruiting mutants. The mutants are much more powerful than our ordinary people. The world has become like this. Naturally, hard-fisted people are valued. Now mutants can work for the government. Each person can receive at least 5 Servings of food, and many mutants do n’t need to wait for the government to send food, they can hunt for themselves. "

The two glanced at each other, feeling a little bit emotional. They have all tasted the feeling of starvation and do not want to experience it again. If they can get 5 servings a day, it will be enough for both of them.

However, no matter whether Chengtian Wall is a mutant or not, they cannot stay in this community all the time, let alone share food with these people. Now they only need the people in this community to lead the way, saving them the trouble of finding an army station. .

The two went upstairs to pack up their belongings, carried useful things on their backs, and merged with the young people who were drawn downstairs.

They don't know if they will return to this district tonight. After all, the world is changing fast, so they have to take their luggage with them.

A small team of ten people just set off.

Cong Xia asked the leader, "Is it on foot? Why not drive?"

The leader asked, "Did you come by car?"

"Yes."

"From the outskirts of the city? It's impossible in the urban area. The car can't move at all, and the road is basically ruined. Now you can only use your legs to do anything."

"How long can we get there?"

"If it goes well, for more than two hours, we are going to bypass the big pine tree in the city center, but we never went through it smoothly." The lead's face showed a look of fear and pain, "You heard it, every time Everyone can't come back when they go out. "

"What's in the city?"

"Everything, a human-eating rat, a human-eating praying mantis, a human-eating cat and dog, anyway, human-eating things are everywhere. The first time we came out, two people got their necks cut by the praying mantis and came out the second time. It was the third day that a wild cat had taken a man away. No one knew if I could go back alive. I now particularly regret it. I voted against it when pets were not allowed in the community committee voting district. "

"why?"

"Some people live on their pets now. The proportion of animals mutating is much larger than that of humans. Although the domesticated animals have mutated bodies, their temperament is generally unchanged, at least they are loyal to their owners, and they will not actively attack people, but stray It ’s not the same, eat everything, especially people, because people are good at hunting, and they have a lot of meat, so one meal is enough. One of my friends, a dog at home, now grows to over three meters in height every day. Going out to prey with the owner, the family does not worry about eating. "The leader smiled bitterly." You see this world, all are reversed, people have to feed on dogs. "

Cong Xia couldn't laugh, thinking that they might face animals like hills, his legs and stomach were pumping.

The leader continued: "When we come out, we have to hunt by the way, hit some small mice and the like. Don't think that eating weeds will starve and die, long-term malnutrition, physical weakness will soon be finished, young The strong can't last long, so we have to eat meat. When we come out, we risk our lives to find food for our family. As long as there is still breath, we must crawl back. "

Cong Xia was very touched and sighed.

Cheng Tianbi has been listening to them silently beside him. He dragged Cong Xia to himself, lowered his head, and whispered softly, "In case of danger, don't do stupid things, follow me."

Cong Xia smiled bitterly: "Relax, I know myself."

Although he is good in nature, he has not been selfless enough to sacrifice himself to save others. Although the affection of the leader and family moved him, he knew that in the last days, he could not help irrelevant people because he was in peril.

When the party walked for more than forty minutes, they met a huge golden retriever head-on, and they were more than three meters tall. One leg was about to catch up with the thick waist, and the hair was golden and bright under the sun, mighty and beautiful. It was followed by a very ordinary woman in her thirties. The woman had been dragging the hair of the dog's legs, and the golden retriever walked slowly according to her speed.

A few people were in a commotion, and the leader shouted, "Don't be afraid. There is a master. Don't be afraid."

Both Cheng Tianbi and Cong Xia were the first pets in the team leader's mouth to hunt for their pets. Although they grew into a large truck, they should no longer be called pets. So they are as nervous as the rest, and even if they know that this dog will not attack them, they are still nervous. This is the instinct of animals when they encounter powerful creatures.

The woman aimed at them, waved her hands, and dragged the golden retriever to the side.

Everyone noticed that the woman was dragging a **** bag in her hand, and looking at the size, it might be a half-human mouse. Everyone was envious. Looking at the dead mouse, the saliva was about to drain.

Although mice are the most suitable food animals they can come into contact with today, they are very difficult to hunt. They ca n’t beat the mice in groups, but they may be reduced to the rations of the other party. The mice that have been ordered run away when they see people, and they ca n’t catch up with them. Those who can hunt mice are either mutants or people with mutant pets to help them. .

Both groups are now the envy of everyone.

After the collapse of the social value system with the end of the day, people have long lost their meaning under the pressure of physiological and safety needs, and senior officials and rich people can no longer be envied. Now, force determines everything.

When the team left, someone whispered, "I knew I had a dog."

"Good cats, cats and mice are much better than dogs, so we can eat meat every day."

"What's the point of saying this, if your dad had voted against it ..."

"What do you mean, it's not just my dad who is opposed."

The leader shouted, "Okay, noisy, noisy ..."

The leader's voice came to an abrupt halt. Under the eyes of everyone, a thin blood slit appeared in his throat. The leader widened his eyes, and everyone also widened his eyes, looking at the original, former one. The head that was still talking was shifted slowly, and finally rolled down to the ground. Arterial blood sprayed more than two meters high, and it fell like rain.

"Yeah—mantis! It's a mantis!"

Everyone saw a shadow of emerald green flashing by, but the city was already full of green eyes, weeds grew taller than human waists, and green had become the color that was least likely to be distinguished by human vision. Mantis Just in the waist-high weeds, relying on the petite figure of 20-30 cm and perfect camouflage color, the ghosts can easily cut the necks of people and animals.

The squadrons ran forward in a frantic manner. After the mantis attacked, it immediately disappeared into the grass, and no trace of them could be found. Among the insects, the mantis is currently the most common and domineering hunter in the city, even the mutants. They are very afraid of their speed and camouflage. Like a assassin, this group of praying mantis is good at hiding in the dark and ambushing fresh meat.

Cheng Tianbi and Cong Xia have already heard the terribleness of these monsters from the fat man's mouth. The first meeting left them with a **** impression. Naturally, they dare not neglect and ran away desperately.

As soon as they ran out, Chengtian Wall sensitively captured the movement of the wind. Perhaps the praying mantis is very good at camouflage, but as long as it moves, no matter how light the movement is, it will definitely generate wind. Chengtian Wall felt it in the first time. He turned back violently, and an emerald green knife leg appeared in front of him. The knife leg was extremely sharp, and the emerald green armor was still stained with bright red blood!
