death to survive

As the sun set in the west, the earth was shrouded in a layer of warm yellow light. On this broad hillside, stood a tall tree with a crooked neck, about as thick as three people hugging each other.This season is supposed to be the time when the trees are full of green leaves and lush green, but this crooked neck tree is showing signs of withering and decay. There is no leaf on the branches, and the original brown bark has become damp. It is black and gray, and many branches have been broken due to rot and fell to the ground. In the black bark on the trunk, there are many white and fat larvae, writhing and wriggling in the rotten and damp core, wantonly enjoying themselves. Rotting tree trunks provide them with nutrients.

Bored, Wang Yang poked the white and fat larvae that curled up into a ball with the branch in his hand, and asked Qiao Feiyu who was making a fire: "These worms look fat, do you want to try eating them?" ?”

"Uh..." Qiao Feiyu just hesitantly let out a huh, really not knowing how to respond, Wang Yang looked like he was asking seriously, as if he was really thinking about it.

On the contrary, Yuan Sitian, who had purposely sat the farthest away from the tree, screamed after hearing this and moved a safe distance.Shout out against the suggestion: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhate!"

From a distance, she could see the larvae poked out by Wang Yang, and the larvae whose white body was still rolling and whose flesh was slightly transparent, which fell to the ground, Yuan Sitian's expression seemed to be about to vomit. She couldn't accept it no matter what, let alone eating, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit just seeing it, and the goose bumps all over her body stood up, so she had to keep rubbing her hands and arms with goose bumps with both hands.

"Oh~ But we haven't eaten for more than a day, I'm very hungry." Wang Yang tilted his head and picked out his ears that were nearly deaf from Yuan Sitian's screams, and threw back the dry branches in his hand. He fell off the ground, sat cross-legged on the grass, and rested his chin with his hands, feeling very melancholy.

Unfortunately, after being chased by police cars chasing after them for a long time, they finally found a chance to throw the police cars away in the intricate alleys, all the way to the island!In the direction of the mountain.

After finally finding a place to rest, she found that the food bag that Yuan Sitian was holding tightly in her hands, and the food backpack that Qiao Feiyu was carrying on the back of the car, were all lost by her at some point...

The food backpack was carried on the back, and the front lower corner was cut wide by a sharp object that appeared at some time. All the food leaked out from inside, and only the mineral water stuck in the bags on both sides of the backpack remained. It's all justified, I don't know how this young lady took the food in her hands, hugged it and then hugged it...

There is no way, Wang Yang can only share the food between him and Xiao Yi among four people to eat together, but for grown men like them who do high-intensity sports to hide from people and beat zombies, this food is not enough. In addition, a few people did not plan to regulate the reasonable arrangement of these foods at all, and they ate all the food in two days. From this morning to now, it is almost dusk, and several people have not eaten anything. For those who have a large appetite For Wang Yang, it was quite a blow.

Moreover, turning his head and looking at the side, Xiao Yi, the man with facial paralysis who had been nesting with him all this time, disappeared without a trace at some point in the afternoon, without even saying hello, and he had no idea where he was going and what he was doing. , I don’t even think about it, it’s already the third day, they stayed here to wait for Fang Zhihong and Lin Jie’s news, and if they were all here, where would they go to find him?In such a wild place surrounded by mountains.

The hillside where they are staying now is a high place where it is easier to find people coming, and the point below the slope is Dongyuan Temple.They didn't stay in Dongyuan Temple. Considering that there might be a lot of zombies hidden in it, for the sake of safety, after they arrived here last night, they chose to spend the night on the slope of this commanding height. The slope can notice the surrounding It is also very convenient to escape without any obstacles, and can quickly find the figure appearing next to him, and his vision is wide.

"Shasha ──────" The slight friction from behind him made Wang Yang immediately vigilantly picked up the iron shovel and turned to wave at his back, but the shovel was stunned by a strong force. .

"Huh?!" Wang Yang turned around and looked up. It turned out that it was Xiao Yi, who appeared like a ghost and then suddenly came back. He was still carrying a big thing in his hand, and kept looking expressionless, looking at Wang Yang with his dark eyes.

"Uh...haha, it's you. Anyway, I thought it was a zombie." He put down the shovel embarrassingly, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Xiao Yi didn't reply to Wang Yang, but just threw the things in his hand to the fire, and began to search for something in the backpack on the ground.

Yuan Sitian saw Xiao Yi, who hadn't seen him all afternoon, come back suddenly, and hurriedly stood up from the grassy slope in surprise, patted the clothes on his body nervously, smoothed the wrinkles, and wiped away the weeds that accidentally got on his body. After picking them all away, Yuan Sitian walked up to Xiao Yi with a slight blush on her face, looking for a topic: "Xiao, Xiao Yi, are you back? You disappeared in the blink of an eye today, making me anxious." It’s been a long time, I don’t know where you have gone, is there any danger, are you okay?”

Xiao Yi still kept his cold look, ignored Yuan Sitian who was talking, and focused on flipping through his backpack.

"Um... what are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?" After asking a few times and seeing no response from Xiao Yi, Yuan Sitian comforted himself secretly. Maybe it was because he wasn't interested in this topic and wanted to find out. What other topics can be discussed with Xiao Yi, Yuan Sitian's eyes saw the thing that Xiao Yi had left aside at the beginning.

Her eyes lit up immediately, "Ah! This is! This is a sika deer, right? It's so cute~~ It looks so beautiful, did you catch it?" Yuan Sitian squatted on the ground, looking at the deer that was thrown on the ground. On the grassy slope, an animal about one meter in length with its limbs tied up happily raised its head and asked.Could it be that Xiao Yi knew that she was too lonely as a girl, so he wanted to find an animal to give her?Do you want to play with her?

"Beauty, have you ever seen a sika deer? It doesn't grow plums or flowers. Why do you call it a sika deer?" Wang Yang also squatted down to look at the animals on the ground. They all grow on the head, and this animal's horn stem stretches back, the tip of the horn is curved inward, and only divides into a small branch. The base of the horn forms a longitudinal ridge on the face, as if the horn grows along the cheek.Anyway, sika deer cannot grow such horns.

Qiao Feiyu, who had finished lighting the fire, saw the two of them watching around, so he also patted his hand stained with charcoal, leaned over, took a look and said, "This is a deer."

"Muzi? What is it?" Yuan Sitian showed a naive and curious expression that didn't know anything.

"You can see that its back coat is brown-black, not as patterned as the sika deer, and it is not as big as the sika deer. There is a black stripe in the center of the back of the neck, white around the buttocks and under the tail, and deep and round tear sockets. This is the characteristic of muntjacs, they like to live in dense forests, grass, mountains and hills, but this animal is already hard to see around City B, not to mention that there are zombies everywhere now..."

When there was a zombie virus, the animals were alerted early and fled everywhere. There were hardly any animals to be seen. Under such circumstances, it was possible to catch such an adult muntjac with bare hands. This is a remarkable ability to survive in the wild. .Qiao Feiyu looked admiringly at Xiao Yi who seemed to find something from his backpack and walked towards them.

"Damn, I don't see that you know a lot about these things." Basically, Wang Yang, who doesn't analyze animal types specially, did not expect to hear such a complete explanation from this rich and sullen man. analyze.

"Because it tastes good." Speaking of these, Qiao Feiyu licked his lips as if reminiscing: "I like to study carefully the raw materials of my favorite food."

"So, it tastes good?" Wang Yang, who had been so hungry for a long time, stared at the deer on the ground with green eyes.

"Of course, if there are other ingredients now, it will be delicious after processing~" Qiao Feiyu nodded and replied, very sure of the delicacy of the suet.

"You guys! You two are too cruel!" Yuan Sitian refused to agree to see the cute appearance of the muntjac lying on the ground, and hugged the jerk by his side, accusing the two people who were discussing the deliciousness of the jerky meat : "How can we eat such a cute animal? Look at it, how beautiful it is, how charming the eyes are, how can you bear to eat it?"

"Uh...beauty, we haven't eaten all day, and we have to eat to replenish our strength. Besides, we will eat it with gratitude, and its spirit will rest in peace in the sky." At this time, maternal love and sympathy burst out suddenly The woman is the most troublesome.I can't bear it, and I want others to accompany her to starve.Wang Yang was speechless looking at Yuan Sitian who was holding the mule but would not let go.

what to do?The two of them wanted to give Xiao Yi to her pet to eat, and Yuan Sitian, who had silently taken it for granted as a gift from Xiao Yi, hugged Jizi, struggling in her heart, trying to untie the rope from Jizi's body, Just let it go.Although she was so reluctant in her heart, Xiao Yi gave her the first gift.

The hand that was untying the rope found that there was a pair of big and powerful hands with pale complexion and clear joints in front of her. From her hands, she slowly lifted the suede, and Yuan Sitian immediately whispered shyly: "Xiao Yi, that, I'll untie the rope." Thinking that Xiao Yi was here to help her untie the rope, Yuan Sitian immediately showed her brilliant smile and looked at Xiao Yi who was standing in front of her and lifted the mule with one hand.

Xiao Yi didn't answer her, but raised his other hand expressionlessly, and quickly slashed the sharp knife that had just been dug out of his backpack at the musket, in front of Yuan Sitian's face. Cutting off the head of Jizi easily, the head of Jizi fell with a "boom" in front of Yuan Sitian, and the warm blood splashed onto her clothes and hands.

Looking at the muntjac's head with its eyes wide open and its tongue slightly open, and the feeling of the wet and hot blood on its hands, Yuan Sitian was stunned for a moment but didn't realize it. After a while, she seemed to have seen a ghost. Generally speaking, startled: "Ah────"

"Hey! Hey! Keep your voice down! Don't attract the zombies!" Hurry up and gag the screaming Yuan Sitian, Wang Yang really has a headache for this woman who is always startled and has a very delicate nerve.

Xiao Yi, who is naturally handy with dismembering corpses, quickly dismembered the deer, tied it to a wooden frame, hung it upside down on the fire made by Qiao Feiyu, and grilled it. I don't know where he found it. Wild spice leaves, and a bag of salt that inexplicably appeared in the backpack, seasoned the mussel meat and grilled it very deliciously. Wang Yang devoured the thigh meat handed over by Xiao Yi, and he couldn't tell how happy he was.

Wang Yang, who ate a lot of meat but still felt a little hungry, stared eagerly at Xiao Yi, who was the last to eat. Xiao Yi took a few bites of the meat in his hand, and under Wang Yang's uninterrupted eye wave offensive, silently The meat in his hand was passed to Wang Yang.

"Brother~~You're so kind~~~" Wang Yang, who took the barbecue meat unceremoniously and didn't mind Xiao Yi's few mouthfuls, ate the barbecue meat with big mouthfuls. The craftsmanship is also so good, you are really an all-around talent~ Whoever marries you in the future will surely die happily!"

"Well, he will be happy..." Staring at Wang Yang in front of him, Xiao Yi licked his lips "hungry" and replied.

Seen by Xiao Yi's staring dark eyes, Wang Yang subconsciously protected the barbecue in his hand, lest Xiao Yi, who looked hungry, would suddenly repent and snatch the meat back from his hand .Now that the meat has entered his hands, it is his, and he will not let it go.

Yuan Sitian, who had already calmed down and was still enjoying the delicious barbecue, heard the conversation between Wang Yang and Xiao Yi, and felt that he was alluding to himself, so she sneaked a shy glance at Xiao Yi, thinking how he could take love words as such. Many people said that, and buried their heads with flushed faces, and continued to sip the meat in their hands, but there was a trace of sweetness in their hearts.

Looking boredly at Qiao Feiyu, who was having fun with the three of them in front of him, he watched with amusement the ambiguous undercurrent of the two on one side, while Yuan Sitian on the other side was blushing inexplicably and shyly. Fantasizing about something unrealistic, he can only lament the loneliness and loneliness of being alone.He casually grabbed the dry branches piled up around him and added them to the burning fire. The raging flames "boomed" and rolled the flames to burn more violently.
