the beginning of the end

This heavy snow fell after the Spring Festival of 2012, and the weather warmed up in March of next year. The sun even appeared in the sky, and most of the snow on the road melted at once. Pedestrians began to appear on the street one after another, all of them with sallow faces. , so skinny and frighteningly thin, especially the smoky smell from other people's hair can be smelled everywhere. However, many people dare not take a bath in winter, so no one dislikes anyone.

Mu Qiangguo insisted on not taking a bath in order to prevent other people in the family from noticing the abnormality. Shen Xi couldn't bear the smell, so he took his son to the space to wash at night when he was sleeping, and then took his son with him when he went out to eat. A hat made it impossible for people to notice their changes. At other times, he took his son to stay in the room under the pretense of not going out, but in fact he held his son in the space to soak in the spiritual spring to dredge spiritual power and consolidate his cultivation.For this matter, Mu Qiangguo burned pots of charcoal in his room every day as a cover, and was often complained by Mrs. Mu for wasting it.The only pain is that Mu Qiangguo has to put up with his stinky body. In order to keep his lover and son tidy, he can't get close to Shen Xi's body. He doesn't even have the benefit of kissing him. Sleeping in a cabin and always ready for any fucking surprise.

During this period of time, Mu Qiangguo looked for opportunities to go out a few times, took out food from the space and gave it to Mrs. Mu. After all, the family has a large population, and no matter how much food there is, it is too much to eat.

There is food at home, so everyone is safe and sound together, although they eat porridge almost every meal, but no one is hungry, they all get along calmly, and get along well, only Zhang Feng is left The stomach complained every day that eating porridge was not nutritious, and Mrs. Mu was anxious about the little grandson in her stomach, and gave her a small meal whenever she had the opportunity.

Except for this old lady Mu, she couldn't think of any better way. During this time, familiar and unfamiliar people came to knock on the door every day to ask for food. Old lady Mu didn't dare to open the door. Many people died of starvation, all of whom did not have much food in their homes.And now that the whole country has been hit by a disaster, the country definitely can't take care of it. If it weren't for the eldest son at home, Mrs. Mu would be scared to death by relying on her weak and inexperienced younger son. She couldn't sleep well, and she was afraid that others would harm her family, so she followed Mrs. Zhang and tried every means to find a place to hide her food.

Mu Qiangguo couldn't persuade him, but at this moment, the weather turned warm.

"I want to go out and have a look." Shen Xi stared at the dead tree outside the window, feeling more uneasy than before, and wondered if his ability to feel good and bad was stronger after his strength improved.

"I'll go with you." Mu Qiangguo also felt that the weather was changing too fast and too weird.

Both wanted to go out and observe.

After lunch, Mu Qiangguo said that he was going to find food, thinking that it would not take much time to go out, so he could only leave his son to the old lady to take care of, and the two of them went out.

The two walked and watched along the way. The green plants in the city were all dead, and this year's crops might not survive. The shops on both sides of the street looked even more decayed. If there was no human breath, it would feel like an abandoned empty city.

Pedestrians who occasionally pass by on the street have vigilant eyes. In the middle of the road, three people are slashing around a dead tree with their knives. Not far away, there are also two people bending over to search for something On the road, there were quarrels and fights from time to time. Seeing that Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi had ruddy faces, some ignorant people stepped forward to provoke them a few times, but the two of them solved it easily. The easiest way is to just beat them down. Seeing that it was a hard persimmon, everyone didn't dare to go forward.

In this small area, security is in disarray, and the police seem to have disappeared, and no one comes out to take care of it.

"Don't you think there is something missing in this city?" Shen Xi frowned, looking thoughtfully at a stinky ditch beside the road.

"What's missing?" Mu Qiangguo asked.

"Mice." Shen Xi said.

"Mouse." Mu Qiangguo paused, and a flash of inspiration seemed to come to his mind. That's right, the weather is getting warmer, and people can't find food. Mice must be the same, and in this weather, everywhere They were all dirty and messy. Rats like this kind of environment to wander the most. He didn't see any of them. Not only rats, but also other animals. The sound of all animals in the whole city disappeared, all disappeared.

Where did the animal go?

"Do you think the disappearance of the army has anything to do with the disappearance of the animals?" Mu Qiangguo quickly hit the key point.

"I can't be sure, but it's possible." Shen Xi thought for a while.

"If it's really because of this reason, there must have been some major event that we don't know about." Mu Qiangguo's eyes sank, and he thought deeply.

Next, the two of them were not in the mood to hang out anymore, and planned to go back early.

The two of them walked hand in hand on the way back, and the sound of Xixisuo came into their ears from far and near, as if it came from underground, there was something, a large group of things crawled over quickly collectively .

The two stopped, Shen Xi looked at Mu Qiangguo, and said, "What is it?"

Mu Qiangguo listened carefully, his consciousness was released slowly, and soon invaded the underground sewer. In the pipe, a large group of densely packed mice rushed over at an incredible speed. There were too many. Unclear, the mouse quickly found the exit of the sewer, the mouse in front jumped up first, out of the sewer opening, followed by jumping one after another, Mu Qiangguo finally saw these mice clearly, they were bigger than the ones he had seen before Not to mention two or three times, they still have sharp teeth, and the mouse's hair is standing on end. Obviously, you can't think about its soft appearance and touch it. The mice are all drooling, and their faces are very ugly. There are eyes, and the eyes are actually red.

The mice that came up sniffed their noses, apparently smelling them, as if they had discovered something, they ran towards the nearest human.

At this moment, Mu Qiangguo knew what the mouse was going to do without having to think about it.

"Run." Before he had time to explain, he pulled Shen Xi who was beside him and started running.

"What?" Shen Xi ran quickly, feeling even more curious, because he didn't use his spiritual sense to look at it just now.

Mu Qiangguo didn't have time to explain in detail, so he hurriedly replied, "Rat."

Sure enough, a shrill scream sounded from the street a distance away from them, and the voice of "Help" disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A "squeak" sounded from behind.

Shen Xi looked back, and saw a group of dusty mice chasing after them, God, such big mice, and they seemed to be catching up with them.

Dozens of them can be easily solved with the strength of the two of them, but hundreds of them can only run away. Now Shen Xi will know why Mu Qianggu just dragged him away and said nothing. They are all working hard to improve their cultivation, but they haven't practiced much attacking spells.

Mu Qiangguo dragged Shen Xi to run around the street, using their spiritual energy, and their speed was much faster than that of the mice. They quickly drove away the large group of mice, but there were still ten of them. Several mice chased after them both.

The two went around an alley and ran in. There was a blind spot in front of them. They swept their eyes and saw that there was no way to go. As soon as they turned around, the mouse that was chasing the front jumped aggressively.
