This is a low mountain. When the meteorite shower came, the entire mountain was smashed into pits and the trees on the mountain caught fire, burning the surface soil into a layer of hard soil residue. Just a few days after the meteorite shower ended, half-human-high weeds grew again.

The vitality of post-apocalyptic plants is amazing, and some of them take root in the rocks.

At the foot of the low mountain, there is an unfinished road with a tunnel that goes straight into the mountain. Now most of it has collapsed, but there is still a lot of space left.

"Finally home."

The four men and one woman returned to the tunnel.

A man carrying a cement bag smiled and said, "It's safe!"

The tunnel in front of them made them feel safe, and their voices became louder.

"I'm hungry. When will you skin the monkey?" another man asked anxiously.

"Who wouldn't be hungry? Only one corn cob is ripe. And the soup we've been cooking with rotten flour is stinky!" said the woman.

The man carrying the cement bag said, "Let's boil some water first, scald the monkey and then pluck its hair. The monkey skin can be eaten, and it's a waste to just skin it!"

“Just scald it to death alive. It will bleed and you can eat the blood.” A man who had not spoken said with a smile.

"Yes, we must save food!" the woman agreed.

The four men were senior executives of a tunnel construction unit.

On the night when the meteorite shower struck, the workers all took a day off and went to a rest area one kilometer away.

In pursuit of excitement, the four men drove a car and brought a woman from the KTV into the tunnel to play.

Thus, they escaped an unprecedented disaster.

At this time, several people walked into the tunnel, and a thin figure immediately walked out: "Did you find something to eat?"

"You bastard, all you do is eat. Can't you even ask if we're in danger?" The man carrying a cement bag scolded the woman who came up to him.

This woman was also covered in dirt. After the apocalypse, everyone was drinking water sparingly, but she still washed her legs very white and wore torn stockings.

But at this time, none of the four men paid attention to her, they were all waiting to eat meat.

Someone went to fetch some wood and lit it.

Someone took out a rice cooker inner pot and came to a puddle not far away, which was the source of their drinking water.

Water dripped from the top of the tunnel from time to time, accumulating into about seven or eight liters of water. The man carefully filled a small half pot with it and returned to the fire to burn it.

The man carrying the cement bag finally put it down. With a plop, a bloody little monkey fell to the ground, motionless.

The woman in stockings immediately widened her eyes: "What kind of animal is this? Is there meat to eat?"

The men remained silent. The woman who had gone out with them to look for supplies said, "Although you didn't contribute much, you still won't lose your share. Here's the monkey tail for you to eat!"

"Where is the meat in a monkey's tail?"

The woman in stockings was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Why didn't I contribute? Didn't I stay to look after Lao Qin for you? It was Manager Wei who said that someone must stay!"

"I'm going to the zombie pile to find food. Why should you enjoy yourself here?" the woman who was looking for supplies shouted.

Before the apocalypse, the two women worked in the same KTV, but after the apocalypse, they were often jealous of each other. They both understood that they could only survive by following a few men.

But if they want to take advantage of them, they can only rely on their beauty, so the two women regard each other as competitors.

"Old Qin didn't run away, did he?"

At this time, the man who had carried the monkey back earlier, whom the two women called Manager Wei, interrupted the quarrel between the two women.

The woman in stockings immediately put on a smile and said, "I'm not running away. I will do my best to complete the tasks you have asked me to do, Brother Wei."

"Bring him out and let him pull out the monkey's hair together." Manager Wei ordered.

Soon, a thin man was pulled out by the woman in stockings, holding a rope. He was probably in his forties, with his hands tied behind his back, and he walked in a very weak posture.

"What's the point of keeping this trash?" complained the woman in stockings.

"It doesn't cost much to raise him. He just needs to drink some urine every day and eat maggots from rotten meat. He can also do some work for us and entertain us when we have nothing to do."

Manager Wei smiled and said, "If zombies come over someday, we can use him to attract their attention."

The other men all laughed.

The man called Lao Qin had a numb look on his face. When he saw that the little monkey on the ground was still breathing, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

He and the monkey have the same fate, both are fish on someone else's chopping board.

Before the end of the world, Lao Qin was a cook on a construction site. Because he had to get up early every day to make breakfast for the workers, he lived in the tunnel.

When a meteor shower strikes, the unfinished tunnel is the best shelter.

He had a large amount of stored grain in his hands, so naturally, he was visited by Manager Wei and his colleagues, who usually ignored him.

At first, everyone thought that this was just an ordinary natural disaster and everything would be fine after it passed.

Everyone was still talking and laughing at that time. Manager Wei promised Lao Qin that he would give him a raise after the rescue team arrived.

For this reason, Lao Qin tried every means to make delicious food to please them all day long.

Just a few days ago, the meteor shower stopped and things became different!

All the stored food spoiled overnight.

Only a few bags of flour were the most resistant to decay. Although they became moldy and smelly, they were still edible after being cooked.

When the food supply shrank drastically, Manager Wei went out and discovered a zombie outbreak.

So they imprisoned Lao Qin and only gave him urine to drink every day...

Lao Qin knew that he, like the monkey, would die sooner or later if he fell into the hands of these beasts.

"Brother Wei, seeing how obedient I am, can you give me a monkey leg later? No... a monkey head is also fine."

The woman in stockings took a few steps forward, came in front of Manager Wei, lifted up her dirty skirt, revealing that she was not even wearing any underwear underneath.

She slowly raised one leg and rubbed the zipper of Manager Wei's pants with her thigh: "Brother Wei, if a girl becomes thin due to hunger, she won't look good."

"Get lost!" Manager Wei pushed the woman in stockings away. "I haven't had a full meal in a few days. How can I have the energy?"

The smile on the woman in stockings froze, and there was a hint of hatred in her eyes.

The other woman burst into laughter.

"Is the water ready?" Manager Wei turned to the other man and asked.

"It's steaming. It'll be ready soon." The man stared at the pot in the fire and licked his cracked lips.

"The water used to scald monkey hair can be drunk after filtering. Don't waste it." Manager Wei instructed.

This can also be regarded as a warning that men who boil water are not allowed to drink it secretly.

After that, Manager Wei walked deeper into the tunnel and said, "Leave Lao Qin and Yu Donghai here to pluck the monkey hairs. The others, follow me in to take a look at the corn."

Yu Donghai was the man who boiled the water. He nodded, and everyone else followed Manager Wei into the depths of the tunnel.

Manager Wei held the highest position among the few people before the end of the world, and he was still able to win the support of the people after the end of the world, mainly because he was relatively fair in his work and never kept anything to himself.

Taking everyone to see the corn is equivalent to telling everyone that he will not embezzle it, and everyone can supervise each other.

Two days ago, they wanted to find more water sources and went deep into the collapsed tunnel, and accidentally discovered the corn that suddenly grew.

The corn stalk was as tall as a five-story building and produced forty-nine corn cobs.

This morning, before they were about to go out to look for supplies, they found a ripe corn cob, so they broke it off and shared it on the way. It turned out that each person could feel half full after eating a few kernels of corn, and they all felt full of energy.

Several people have realized that this is a mutated crop from after the apocalypse, and the nutrients it contains far exceed those before the apocalypse.

So, when Manager Wei came back and arranged the monkey meat matter, he went to check the corn first.

……

At this time, Zhao Yin had already seen the tunnel under the low mountain...
