Survival [End Times]

As a result, the journey went smoothly that day.

They had already passed the route that Cui Nan and his team had taken before. The current roads were all brand new, but he found a road that had been run over. The road was very straight, and all the flowers, grasses and trees along the road were pushed away, revealing the dry soil surface.

Yu Heng suspected that this was done by the group of creatures last night. According to their walking direction, and looking at their momentum of rushing on the road last night without turning, it is very likely that they opened the road.

Whether it is or not, it is a good thing for Yu Heng and his team. At least he does not have to spend a lot of energy to identify dangerous plants on the road. He only needs to guard against sudden dangers, and the speed of travel is faster.

After walking at this fast pace for three days, someone couldn't hold on again, but Yu Heng never slowed down.

Since he encountered more and more animals on the road, he became more and more anxious.

But in the eyes of others, so many prey, that is meat! Those who gave up are all white meat that can't be eaten!

Even if the herd is in danger, there are still lone ones, right?

After all, they were just people on the same path, so if they couldn't get along, they would just go their separate ways. In the next two days, people left the team one after another: some didn't want to go on after seeing the residential area, and some simply came across a river and settled down there.

After all, aren't we working so hard for water and survival? Now there is a river and water, isn't everything solved? Why are we still walking aimlessly?

Only Yu's father and mother supported Yu Heng all the time, saying "We are not tired! Keep going!"

Less than 20 people were left, and after repairing and getting water by the river, they continued to head north.

When Yu Heng found something edible on the way, the others would quietly go forward to dig and pull it out.

Those who have persisted until now and followed the Yu family, if nothing else, are at least determined and rational people.

To have come this far, relying solely on the word "trust" is a joke, why do people trust you so much?

It's just that they can see and think for themselves.

There are too many abnormal animals encountered on the road. They were already traveling very fast, but the animals they met on the road seemed to be running for their lives, not even caring about hunting and attacking.

They found that unless they smelled of blood, the animals would not attack them actively - unless the place where they camped before was exactly the direction of the animals' advance.

There was another reason. In addition to the Yu Heng family and the Cui Nan family, there were five other families. After such a long time of getting along, they could not hide anything that should be hidden.

For example, Zhong Hua was a fishman, the Li family had a daughter, Li Cen, who was an orc who looked like an animal, Zhang Zhen of the Zhang family had "sly eyebrows and rat eyes", and Lin Ke of the Lin family had a pair of very obvious claws, with facial features like an animal.

The new genes in them also gave them the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

For various reasons, this team of 18 people never stopped moving forward.

Yu Heng felt: "There must be something more urgent urging them." They all felt that it was very likely. After all, animals are more sensitive than humans. For example, everyone knows that animals will behave abnormally before an earthquake.

So they never stopped. Even though his feet were blistered and Zhong Hua was a fishman, he felt very uncomfortable in such weather. However, in order to reduce the burden on his family, he stood up and learned to walk again.

His legs, which looked like fish tails, stood on the ground again, and he felt the pain of the mermaid princess in the fairy tale he read in his childhood.

But he survived, and the fish characteristics on his body gradually faded, and the scales fell off, revealing human skin.

It was at that time that Zhong Hua realized and regretted: he had been too submissive to the changes and needs of his body before, without resistance or resistance, so he was satisfied in the water environment, which also caused his body to change dramatically.

But he could have resisted and become a human. As long as he endured hardships and persisted, everything was possible.

The efforts of rushing day and night were confirmed one morning, confirming that they were not worrying too much.

At that time, Yu Heng was boiling water, and suddenly heard a rumbling sound in the distance.

He looked up and carefully identified that it came from the south. At first, he thought it was a large animal approaching, and hurriedly shouted for people to get out of the way. They now have some tacit understanding, and their tree climbing skills are almost full. They all climbed up the nearest giant tree.

But after waiting for a minute, Yu Heng felt something was wrong. If it was a large animal, the ground would not be shaken.

That sound sounded more like a strong wind!

He climbed up quickly, and his movements had never been so fast. When he almost climbed to the top of the tree, he saw the sky blocked by the tall giant tree: the sky in the south was very bright, and the cyclone that seemed to be like a city wall was advancing straight forward, with nowhere to hide!

At that moment, his heart was about to jump out!

"Get down from the tree! Get down from the tree! Tie yourself to the tree quickly!!" Yu Heng shouted loudly, and climbed down while shouting.

"Hurry up!"

All the yellow rattan strips were taken out, and Yu Heng had no time to care about the problem of the storage ring leaking, so he quickly asked everyone to tie the yellow rattan strips to themselves.

The towering tree where they slept last night was more than four meters in diameter and very thick. Fortunately, Yu Heng had cut the yellow rattan strips from the top of the tree, and the length was about five or six meters. He tied several yellow rattan strips into a knot with great force, and they could be used to surround the giant tree.

"Don't ask! Help quickly!"

The loud noise in the ears was getting closer and closer. Fortunately, before the wind wall came, everyone clung to the back of the giant tree and tied themselves firmly to the tree.

Yu Heng took out another cane and tied the three members of their family together with Cui Nan.

"Hold on tight!"

By this time, everyone understood what was coming.

The wind roared loudly before it came over, and the air became dry in an instant.

In addition to the sound of the wind, there were sounds such as the branches and leaves of the trees shaking violently, things falling to the ground and being rolled around, etc.

Yu Heng listened in more detail. He also heard the screams of humans and the loud banging of doors and windows in the nearby building... His nose was still a little dry, his eyes were dry, and the humidity of the air suddenly dropped to a minimum.

Fortunately, this tree was strong enough to remain standing when the wind blew past. The branches that hit it were not worth mentioning in the face of a greater disaster.

The wall of wind came and left quickly.

The group of them loosened their grip on the yellow cane and smiled as if they had survived the disaster.

"What a risk!"

"Thanks to Yu Heng for your quick response!"

Everyone came out from behind the tree and sighed.

"Look!"

A wild beast crashed into the front of a tree, covered in blood. When I started to lift it, it was so soft that the bones should have been smashed.

"Oh my God, look!"

The ground is covered with a thick layer of green tree trunks, and the sky is unobstructed and blue. The rising sun was not blocked by the tree canopy, and it was shining fiercely. Coupled with the dry air, the whole person felt very uncomfortable.

"It's so good..."

Yu Heng thought: "Is this the [dry season] coming?"

This time the storm made them even more anxious. If such dry winds come again several times, it will definitely be very dangerous.

Xu Yuman quietly asked Yu Heng: "Did the talking bird you met say anything else? For example, where can I go to be safe?"

Seeing Yu Heng shaking his head, she sighed with great disappointment: "What a pity. It's rare to encounter such a rare bird. Why didn't you ask more questions?"

"It doesn't know either."

It only has its mother's words in its memory, nothing else. Heading north? How far north? None, just let it start immediately after the second growth is completed.

Yu Heng and the others set off again, and this time they found that there were great changes on the road. The road was very bare, not to mention dangerous plants, even ordinary plants were completely absent.

Although this road is much easier, it makes people feel uneasy. And there was a lot of food missing.

After walking out of the forest, they passed by the human construction area again, looking at the dilapidated and empty windows of those buildings, which were rarely popular.

"There is really no one!"

They felt something was wrong and went to explore the residential area, but they really didn't see anyone.

"Everyone, be careful."

After that, they encountered more beasts, as if they had reached a boundary point, and all the animals were coming in this direction.

They had no choice but to be more careful, fearing that they would be trampled to death by some large animal if they were not careful.

After sixteen days on the road, everyone else's food was gone.

There was very little to be found on the ground, which was dry and almost barren. Yu Heng didn't know if it was caused by the different land boundaries or the gust of wind.

So they often hunted. Focus on single, smaller prey.

Although the Yu family still has food in storage, they often hunt to replenish it. Cui Nan is an expert snake hunter and rarely lacks food. The other three families also have extraordinary hunting abilities because they have orc family members.

Except for Xu Yuman's family, they are all "normal people", and Zhong Hua's fish-like physique and hunting ability are much different.

They took over all the chores, chopped wood, burned barbecue, and exchanged their labor for some food.

The most relaxed time for them is when they are eating.

Without the scruples and precautions against their own mutations, they faced their own abnormalities for the first time and exchanged information in front of "same kind" people who had gone through hardships together.

Lin Ke sighed: "I don't think this is a bad change. At least my physical fitness has become much stronger, my hearing is better, and my running has become faster... It's just that I can't find anyone to communicate with, and the xx upstairs has also changed." In this case, I planned to go talk to her, but I didn’t expect that she jumped off the building.”

The family was having such a violent quarrel that she could hear "Monster!" and "Tie him up!" from downstairs.

The family also refused to allow anyone to go to his house to offer condolences. Then one rainy morning, the girl jumped.

Even if the woman surnamed Wang later talked about it, the family angrily chopped that woman down. What was the point? They did not love her and support her from beginning to end like her parents, forcing their daughter to jump off the building. What kind of parental affection are you still trying to show off now?

She was very lucky to have such good parents who trusted her so much that they heard her intuition and left with her.

Zhong Hua also said: "There are many fishmen by the big lake, and many of them live in the water day and night..." If people see them during the day, they will always be beaten. But if you hide it at home, people will not be so fierce and acquiesce.

The treatment of newly emerged "species" still comes from human changes. People always have grudges and can't help but peep with curious eyes.

Zhang Zhen has always been optimistic: "I think this is a good change. We humans have the sensitivity of animals. Isn't this considered an evolution?"

Then he changed his voice and said to Cui Nan enviously: "But we are not as good as you. You still look exactly like a human, but your abilities are not inferior to ours."

Cui Nan smiled, his eyes seemed to be covered with a film, reflecting the cold sharp light. When he lowered his head to bite the meat, the snake letter was faintly visible.

"But what I'm most curious about is Yu Heng. What animal do you have the characteristics of? Is it a kangaroo?"

Lin Ke covered his mouth and laughed, his furry ears twitching.

Yu's mother couldn't help but laugh and put her head on Yu's father's shoulder.
