Li Cang, a patient with severe sleep difficulties, had a rare good sleep under such circumstances. When he woke up, it was already 2:30 in the morning.
"Did you sleep for 3 hours..."
Under the night sky, the moon and stars were sparse.
The cold and damp wind in the tundra was like a woman's little hand, caressing every detail of her body. It was so cold that the sleeping people around them kept coughing.
On other empty islands in the distance, fire flickered on and off, and occasionally the roars of walking corpses and strange beasts could be heard.
"Human beings are really insignificant, right..."
"Um?"
Zhang Zihao hugged his sleeping wife and said: "Meimei and I were like this once when we traveled to the Gobi Desert. The sky was high and the clouds were pale. There was no sound for thousands of miles, only the wind and the roar of wild animals. I felt so small. It seems like it will melt into the environment at any time.”
"The end of the world on a dog's day, I thought that all the things I had lived, pursued, and owned all my life did not exist at all. It was more false than an illusion..."
"What's the use? You know, in the Huaizhan Resettlement Camp, a guy who is very familiar with me married his own sister. No one said he was a pervert, and no one mentioned it. Everyone drank, ate meat, Dance, celebrate..."
"You don't know what you're so happy about, it's like crazy!"
"Every day I go out to collect supplies, fight with walking zombies, exchange coins, and pray to become stronger. But what's the point? Just like the jump point just now, people, walking zombies, and strange beasts are thrown away from one place. If we go to another place, we may even lose the right to live for ourselves..."
Zhang Zihao was not actually talking to Li Cang. After mumbling these words, he just started snoring.
Li Cang's eyes were as wide as bells.
"Depend on..."
Fortunately, he was still thinking carefully about what to say so as not to be so embarrassed, but he ended up enjoying the same treatment as Li Laixi.
I always feel like I haven’t heard half of what I said, so uncomfortable...
At this time, a burst of heartbreaking screams woke everyone up. A man who was leaning against the wall on the south side and very close to Chef Xu vomited out blood and stomach contents, and his exposed skin seemed to become... As if it were transparent, the shocking blue and black blood vessel lines were clearly reflected on the skin, and layers of cutin were produced, rapidly evolving into scales.
Everyone was silent for a while: "Kill him."
This person was not one of the three people who were quarantined. He only had a slight scratch on his body from the claws of the alien beast, and he also took anti-corpse poison medicine.
The faces of the man and two women who were isolated were full of fear, but also happiness and gratitude.
"Death is just the beginning" sounds a bit artistic, but if it starts with the walking dead - I support cremation, I will write cremation after death into my family tree!
At dawn, the number of people reduced from 46 to 44, and eventually the corpses became two.
"Looking at it this way, alien beasts seem to be more contagious than walking corpses," Chef Xu muttered, followed by, "Do you really don't want to try my craft? Even little brother Li Cang said it was alien. The beast tastes very good.”
"Well..."
"Chef, calm down. Didn't brother Li Cang say that the food he ate didn't make him look like these guys?"
"What should we do now? Should we go to other islands to unite other survivors?"
"It's too far. There are walking corpses everywhere. The number of people we have is not enough for them to fill their teeth."
Li Cang was thinking about a very strange question. No matter whether it was a chameleon or a giant ant, he had encountered it before. None of the strange beasts he saw this time were as...well...perhaps it should be described as weird?
Sarcomas, multiple limbs, multiple eyes, multiple mouths, bloody flesh, leaky organs, tentacles——
These things just look very abnormal and have low SAN value. They are obviously following the path of Cthulhu's abstinence system. They are more like a bad mixture that grows casually. They are alive entirely because of the "corpse poison" given to them. It is just a terrifying vitality, and there is no soul or spirituality visible in the eyes.
"They are basically two types of chameleon ants. They are very powerful in combat, but they look even more muddleheaded than walking zombies."
In fact, he himself knows that there are too few samples encountered, and this kind of thinking and speculation is less reliable than lottery tickets. However, people can't help but have such an uncontrollable way of thinking and imagining about things they don't understand. .
You have the right to entertain yourself.
There are more than a dozen people on duty under the garbage mountain, because there is a certain distance between the empty islands. If there are not that many walking zombies or alien beasts that are not that big in size and want to come over to eat and drink, they will basically be there. A bullet or a boulder can penetrate armor——
There are thousands of meters of ground below, filled with rivers of lava. Watch out for those things to take off and block them at the right time. Even the steps of destroying corpses and eliminating traces can be omitted.
Li Cang had Brother Da Shi and Miss Qiu's sense of smell to help him dig, and he could always find more useful things. For two days in a row, this group of people lived a happy life with plenty of food and clothing.
The garbage mountain is so big, and the temperature is below freezing, no matter what kind of food can be well preserved, it is probably enough for these big eaters to eat for several months and half a year, which is comparable to Li Cang's hunting of mice and foxes in the sky. It's so easy when I'm a rabbit...
Not many, the good days only lasted two days.
In the beginning, this cluster of sky islands that were comparable to land could barely be said to have three pillars. The zombies were bullied miserably by the alien beasts. Almost all of them who had the courage not to run away after falling from the sky were killed on the spot. The belly has turned into feces now.
Then the alien beasts are much more interested in them with sufficient smell and higher degree of alienation than humans. You can see the alien beasts using them as reserve food, and after digesting the food in their stomachs, they will eat a few...
And then...
The walking zombies just started forming gangs to cause trouble.
Their nature is like this, and small groups dominated by walking zombies with stronger strength and higher stages of alienation began to appear, annexing each other and growing stronger, and began to attack the lone alien beasts.
Two days later, no single walking corpse appeared on this archipelago, at least in units of hundreds!
The change happened so suddenly that most survivors were caught off guard, and it was already too late to curse.
As a result, the survivors began to use ready-made materials to build high walls on the edge of the empty island, centered on the garbage mountain, and pile up stronger defenses.
Li Cang was the first to take action——
Teacher Cang suffered a lot in the battle on Qiaoshasha Kong Island. It can be said that he had foresight about this kind of thing. 44 people were still 44 people and he did not suffer any losses that he should not have to bear.
"The survivors on the island next door are probably dead," Chef Xu said. "The fire hasn't been lit since last night. They didn't turn on the stove."
Under the harsh conditions and weather, even the survivors with extraordinary physiques cannot tolerate cold food, and no matter how fierce a man is, he cannot withstand a few soaks of watery shit...
I can't bear it, I really can't bear it.
