mother of beasts

"Hey--"

Just when both sides were ready to make a move, a voice came from not far away, and a group of men immediately stopped laughing and looked towards the source of the voice.

"You don't come back quickly!"

The visitor strode over, Li Jia was taken aback by the rough roar, and quickly stepped back sideways to keep a certain distance from these people.

The person who came took a long step and came here in a short while. He glanced at Li Jia, turned around and slapped the man with the spear.

"Jack—"

The man who was slapped widened his eyes in disbelief, pointed at Li Jia and faltered to that brother Jie.

"Jie, what jie! Who told you to bully passers-by!" Brother Jie's voice was already loud, but when he yelled like this again, his saliva was instantly drooling.

Li Jia frowned, tilted his head to avoid the man's saliva, but the air gun hidden behind him showed no sign of relaxing.

"And you guys! What I usually tell you..." Brother Jie slapped the man twice again, then turned his head and yelled at the few remaining men who were confused.

This brother Jie seemed to be very powerful. Li Jia stood aside, watching a play directed by this group of people, without making a sound.

A group of men carrying guns were scolded by Brother Jie like cucumbers, all of them lowered their heads in despondency, and completely lost the smirk just now.

Brother Jie was still cursing, but Li Jia didn't intend to continue listening, and slowly moved his body back. He hugged the fleshy mass in his arms, and left silently.

"Hey! Boy!"

Noticing that Li Jia seemed to be moving away slowly, the chattering man hurriedly called out to stop him, "I'm sorry for what happened just now! I apologize to you on behalf of these worthless people!"

Li Jia didn't respond, just nodded, then faced them, and walked backwards.

The group of men did not catch up, nor did they shoot. Li Jia's palms holding the gun were covered with sweat, until his body slowly disappeared into another pile of rocks, and the shadows of those people could no longer be seen, so he relaxed a little. in one breath.

A group of men in shabby clothes just stood in the desert and watched the boy slowly disappear before their eyes, but no one spoke to stop him.

"...Brother Jie!" After a long silence, the man with the spear couldn't help it. He couldn't understand why Brother Jie let the boy go.

Looking at the bag on the boy's back, it was so bulging, it was considered a fat sheep, and it was about to reach his mouth, but he let it go like this, no one would be reconciled to it.

They are all people who do business without capital in the background of the doomsday. In this world, people are born unequal. Some people can live a life of comfort and enjoyment in the imperial capital, while others can only live in such ruins. Old wild lands for a living.

There are only so many resources, but the number of people is far more than the resources. Whoever can get more materials can get more solid survival capital. Since it's either you or me, why should I do it for To keep you alive and throw yourself into hell?

Being able to survive is the kingly way, no matter how he survives.

Brother Jie turned his head and glanced at the faces of a group of people. After a long time, he moved his lips: "The sheep must be slaughtered, but you have to look at the environment. The kid just now is a fat sheep, but he is also fat. It's too fat, didn't you see the gun in his hand? And that bag, judging from the shape of the bulging bag, the contents inside are definitely not that simple! I bet, just relying on the tattered lump in your hand, He was going to make a rash move just now, and he will definitely not be the one who died!"

A group of men looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't expect that little boy to bring that kind of thing.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Brother Jie glanced at them, snorted, turned his head and continued to look in the direction Li Jia had just left, and waved for everyone to leave after a long time.

Looking at the darkening weather, Li Jia trotted forward, looking around from time to time, looking for a place to spend the night.

The incident just now taught him a profound lesson. In this desolate wilderness, everything is possible. The most dangerous thing in the end may not be the beasts, but the human beings.

Thinking in his heart, his footsteps became faster, just now that brother Jie suddenly appeared and let those men let him go, to be honest, he was not surprised, but at that time he didn't have the heart to think too much, leaving as soon as possible is the right way.

Now looking back and thinking about it for a while, the more he thinks about it, the more he is wrong, and he always feels that something bad will happen, but he doesn't know what it is specifically.

The circle of red creature around his hand didn't seem to have moved at all, just hanging around with his eyes closed and biting his tail, and the little thing in his arms seemed to be exhausted, half-closed his eyes and nestled in his arms, motionless.

The sky was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the road clearly, and Li Jia still couldn't find any place to spend the night, so he had no choice but to find a clean and secluded place to rest temporarily.

The apocalypse at night was full of dangers. Li Jia didn't dare to turn on the lights, so he could only huddle in one place with his weak vision, holding a ball of meat in his arms, and the night was not too cold.

The cool wind blew in through the cracks in the rocks, Li Jia shivered unconsciously, and hugged the little monster in his arms tightly.

He kept his eyes open, not because he was sleepy or tired, but because there were too many variables at night, just in case, not sleeping was the best choice to ensure safety.

The whole night was very peaceful, there were no sneak attacks from humans or alien beasts, and one person and two beasts cuddled together in the dark night, but they didn't seem afraid of being lonely.

After finally waiting for the moment when the sun rose, Li Jia got up a little dizzy.

The half-day trip to the cave yesterday gave him great psychological stimulation. In addition, he stayed up all night last night, and there were two black spots under his eyes, bloodshot eyes crawled up his eyes, and his eyes widened like little monsters.

But no matter how tired the body is, the road still has to be walked. Slowly getting up, Li Jia supported himself with an air gun, took out a small box of compressed dry food from his bag, and fed some to the little monster. After thinking about it, he dug again. He moved a little closer to the red circle on his right hand.

Little Red Snake sensed the atmosphere around her, opened her eyes, and saw the little monster staring at Li Jia's hand stretched out to her. She opened her mouth a little, spit out the letter, and was about to eat the dry food.

Li Jia stretched out his hand, hesitant, not because he was reluctant to give up such a small amount of food, but because he was afraid that if the snake bit his hand, he would cry without tears.

However, it was not the snake that nibbled on his finger in the end, but the lump of flesh in his arms.

The little monster took a bite of the dry food that was supposed to be for the snake beast, and licked Li Jia's hand clean.

The snake beast shook its body, continued to close its eyes, and hung it on Li Jia's wrist in the posture of a snake biting its tail.

Li Jia's movements seemed to be a little stiff, but he soon discovered that the lump of flesh in his arms seemed to have grown a bit bigger, and even the hair that was so scarce that it was almost invisible was slightly more, although compared with ordinary creatures, it still rare.

Squeezing the flesh of the little monster, seeing that the scars on its body that were only yesterday had slowly faded and healed, Li Jia was a little moved by the powerful recovery ability of the monster.

After taking care of everything, he held the little thing in his arms and continued to hurry on the road.

The road is very long, especially if there is no electronic map to guide it, it is terribly long. The surroundings are similar to the desolate scene. Li Jia walked straight ahead with big strides, not daring to look around.

However, despite his hard work, the surrounding environment was still bleak until the fourth night. If Li Jia hadn't firmly believed that he had been going in a straight line, he must have felt that he had come back again.

Once again finding a certain corner and curling up, Li Jia was a little weak, and his heart was exhausted. The endless journey made him no longer have the strength to move, and the sleepless days for several days made his handsome image even worse. an unprecedented impact.

Fortunately, with two strange beasts by his side, no one would mind his slovenly appearance.

Putting the backpack aside, Li Jia leaned against the boulder behind him, forcing himself to keep his eyes open, but after several hours passed, he still fell into a deep sleep, deep and deep.

Some things that are not convenient to put on the table are always done more quietly at night.

As if to prove this point of view, a few men who sneaked up behind a big rock a few steps away walked slowly towards here at some point.

One of them stepped on a piece of gravel and made a moderate noise. Several people stopped and looked ahead, but Li Jia remained motionless as if he hadn't heard it.

Several men smiled silently, with a light in their eyes that only they could understand.

The little monster who was tightly hugged by Li Jia quietly opened his eyes, saw the situation clearly through the gap between the fingers of Li Jia's cuff, and narrowed his crimson animal eyes.

The little snake clinging to its flesh seemed to sense some strange flow in the surrounding air, let go of its tail, and poked its head out quietly.

The two strange beasts were very small, and together with Li Jia's tight embrace, the sense of existence was greatly weakened, so that the men saw nothing but the sleeping boy and the heavy backpack behind him.

One of the men walked forward slowly, went around and grabbed the backpack, while the other two men stretched out their hands to the sleeping Li Jia, trying to move him away.

In the darkness, the eyes of the two beasts flickered, and for the first time, they had the same thought at the intersection of their eyes.

At the same time when the fingers of the two men touched Li Jia's shoulder, a small black figure leaped out from the boy's arms and bit down on the hand of one of the men!
