The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The two men walked out of the small path and onto the official road, where they saw a dead body on the side of the road.

For the elderly, children, women and men.

Some were starved to death, some were hacked to death, some seemed to have suffered a lot of torture before their death, and some seemed to have been abandoned.

Xu Yao looked at the corpses on the road and buried them almost as he walked.

The Immortal of the South Sea accompanied her to bury the body. The two of them pretended to be master and disciple, burying the body as they walked.

But there were too many dead people, and they buried them all the way. Xu Yao couldn't remember how many they had buried, and they still couldn't bury them all.

She remembered the countless zombies and corpses at the end of the world, which were also human lives.

But later she learned how to kill zombies, and from fear to numbness, she completely lost the desire to live.

For a long time, she felt that she was not a person, but a breathing machine.

Her knife killed zombies and people again and again.

The desperate look in the eyes of his friends who had been bitten by zombies made Xu Yao frightened and unbearable.

Later she was unwilling to make friends with others.

Xu Yao couldn't understand why people killed each other.

"The wild animals in the forest will kill each other in order to seize territory and prey."

"But we are human beings. We have created civilization, can grow crops, and raise livestock. We should be able to obtain more capital for survival than wild animals. Why do we still have to kill?"

"You forgot that Beichen had natural disasters and Dazhou had man-made disasters. A very small number of wealthy people occupied a large amount of food and land, and ate their fill. Most people can only fight for the few resources for survival, and can only fight to the death."

Xu Yao knew that this involved a deeper issue: the competition for survival resources.

She felt there was no solution and the road ahead was difficult.

This is not a problem that can be solved by killing one or two people. It is a very complex political economy.

Xu Yao felt that he couldn't handle it, felt a little regretful, and didn't want to continue going north.

Nanhai Xianweng suddenly asked her, "Then where can you go?"

Xu Yao was stunned, looking at the big grave he had just buried, and said dejectedly: "I don't seem to know where I'm going."

She was like a rootless duckweed in this world, with no destination. In the past, because of Zhao Xi's matter, she still had a direction, and although her life was tiring, she was not so confused. But now, she had no idea how to go on.

Nanhai Xianweng sighed, "Your heart is empty. It is said that those who practice Taoism practice to be free and at ease, but we know where our freedom lies, so we don't feel that we are wasting our time. But your heart is empty. You seem to be free and at ease, but in fact you are at a loss. There is no one in this world that you are attached to, and there are no things that you are attached to. You feel that this world has nothing to do with you, and you don't even know why you are alive."

Xu Yao wanted to refute, saying that of course she knew the purpose of living. Her purpose was to eat delicious food, have fun, not have to work, and live a leisurely life.

"This is something that only a pig can do, but you didn't live like a pig. You still learned a lot and saved many people. Is there a possibility that your behavior was a distress signal?"

Xu Yao looked at him blankly: "What's the logic behind this?"

"I told you that your heart is empty. A person without a heart is a walking corpse. Your actions have responded. You don't want to live like this. You want to change."

Xu Yao refuted in horror, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it good for me like this? Being homeless, free from worries, and free from the troubles of the world, is the life that many people dream of?"

The old Taoist priest still shook his head: "If you are born as a human being without desires, demands, and worries, you are not even a human being, so how can you understand what it means to be free and at ease?"

Xu Yao was confused by him again and felt that this old man was talking about some convoluted philosophy all day long, which was really hard to understand.

She thought about leaving the old man behind and running away on her own.

But when I thought of this, I hesitated again. Where should I run?

I can’t go to Da Zhou, and it seems that Beichen can’t go either, as Dingnan is at war.

She caught up with the old Taoist priest and asked, "Honestly, can you give me your island overseas? You are old now, and you will ascend to heaven one day. After you ascend, leave the island to me and I will be the owner of the island. Where is your island? The North Country, right? Where is the North Country? Didn't you say there is a fairyland there where you can cultivate immortality? Take me there."

The Immortal of the South Sea was unwilling to pay attention to her. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Xu Yao had no choice but to follow him miserably, and had to go hunting for food from time to time.

There is no way. As a young person, it is her virtue to take good care of the elderly and respect the old and love the young.

Fortunately, the old man didn’t eat much, so most of the food went into Xu Yao’s mouth.

Most of the time, the Immortal of the South China Sea eats wild fruits and dew.

Xu Yao felt that the immortal aura he had was probably due to his vegetarian diet. If she ate like this, she would also become immortal sooner or later.

Unfortunately, she can't do that, she is addicted to meat and can't help herself.

She has finally climbed to the top of the food chain and can eat meat, so why should she eat grass?

In order to bury the bodies, they walked very slowly. It took them three to five days to reach Wanzhou City, a distance that could have been reached in two days.

Xu Yao believed that the journey could be completed in two days by riding a horse.

If you walk, seven or eight days is normal.

So the man walking on two legs not only encountered corpses, but also encountered exiled people.

The people who were saved by the old Taoist priest, when they heard that they were going to Wanzhou, looked at the two as if they had seen a ghost.

"Master, Wanzhou City is now a hell on earth. You must not go there."

"how do I say this?"

"You don't know, the general from the north city is just a butcher, he kills anyone he sees. When I escaped, I heard that they ordered a massacre in the city. If I go there now, I'm afraid the city will be full of corpses and blood. I heard that they also eat human flesh, even babies."

"Yes, yes, I heard that they don't wear rations when they go out, and the people in the city are their rations."

Xu Yao took a deep breath when he heard this, but he didn't think they were exaggerating.

She had seen scenes that were more terrifying and exaggerated than this, and for a moment, those bad memories of the end of the world came flooding back to her mind.

She couldn't help but run to the side and vomit violently. The Immortal of the South Sea looked at her deeply, thanked a few ordinary people, and still went towards Beichen with determination.

Xu Yao finally finished vomiting and sighed to the old Taoist priest. "Man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters."

It is said that misfortunes sent by Heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven.

In order to seize survival resources and stay alive, people sometimes give up their humanity and retain their animality.

What is animality?

Xu Yao didn't dare to think about it, as he would feel like vomiting if he thought too much.

When they arrived near Wanzhou City, the surrounding villages were deserted and traces of war were everywhere.

The dilapidated door, the scattered tables and chairs, the shoes that were not taken away in time, and the half-burned yard, there was not even a living person breathing.

I heard that Beichen defeated Da Zhou, and the defeated soldiers of Da Zhou did not return to Da Zhou, but went south to Dingnan instead, as if they were trying to snatch something.

Xu Yao was just about to leave with the old Taoist priest, but suddenly she heard light breathing sounds. She stopped and looked towards a yard not far away.
