However, the young boy, who was so light, did not close the distance between him and the corpse demon. The footsteps behind him followed closely, and even a low cry could be vaguely heard.
He was trembling inwardly. Even if he had just run for a while and consumed a lot of energy, he would not be in such a bad situation. The young man was still very confident in his speed.
The problem does not lie with him. The only explanation is that these zombies were stimulated, stimulated by blood! The woman must have been injured.
Thinking of this, the young man suddenly felt something bad. He didn't expect that he had always sailed the boat carefully, but today he was hurt by a woman and made a mistake that would cause him eternal hatred!
Thinking of this, the breath held in the young man's heart suddenly relaxed. He paused and slowed down. When he turned around, the fastest corpse demon was already ten steps away. Once entangled, the other corpse demons swarmed up... …
The young man raised his dagger again with despair in his eyes, not to fight to the death, but to give himself a happy ending.
Corpse demons eat people alive, only flesh and blood, not internal organs.
The young man once saw people who had been eaten by corpse demons, with only bones left in their bodies, and complete internal organs wrapped in the bones. He didn't know what kind of pain it was. Compared with the torture of being cut into pieces at Caishikou, it was nothing more than that. Bar.
Just when the young man was about to commit suicide, his vision blurred. The hand holding the knife was caught by a rope. The rope rebounded with elasticity. The young man couldn't help but run forward, faster than before.
The woman from the front yelled: "Stop being so impatient, hurry up and follow!"
Needless to say, the young man who had regained his vitality spread his legs and ran wildly.
Surprisingly, the two of them ran faster and faster, throwing the corpse demons farther and farther away. After about two sticks of incense, a gray village appeared in front of them, which was the village that the young man had just left.
The two of them speeded up their pace in unison. The young man unexpectedly came up from behind and overtook the woman. He entered the village entrance one step ahead and quickly hid in a house that he had just raided. He leaned against the earthen wall in the courtyard and almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, gulping down a lot of food. The ground gasped.
A light body also leaned next to him, panting along with him. It was of course the woman. She was also wearing a headscarf and covering her face, only revealing a pair of big black eyes, and she was carrying a bulging robe on her back.
The young man smelled a unique feminine scent, mixed with a faint smell of sweat, which smelled quite good. However, his mind was not on that. Instead, he looked at the woman's trousers and felt sad.
Naturally, he thought of the huge amount of wealth he had thrown away to save his life, and his heart was bleeding. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and blamed himself: Why didn't he throw away those worthless things in advance? Why take that shortcut? Why did I meet the woman next to me...
The young man even blamed his savior, but he couldn't be blamed. If this woman hadn't attracted the corpse demon, he would be in the ghost market now.
"Hey, you can return the noose to me." The woman spoke after taking a breath. It was no longer as sharp as when she was running for her life. It was soft and crispy, and a little pleasant to the ear.
Hearing her voice, the young man was not very young, and he murmured unconvincingly: Although you just saved my life, you were the one who caused those corpse demons. You can't say that you saved the life. You can only make up for it at most.
However, the boy still took off the noose from his wrist, handed it to the woman and thanked him: "Thank you very much, girl, for the rescue. It's a pity that my robe was lost in the middle of the road. I can only repay it later."
The woman had no intention of repaying the kindness, and said calmly: "I just came back from hunting and passed by here. I didn't expect to provoke the corpse demon. It seems that I was the one who caused you trouble."
The young man didn't expect the woman to be so reasonable and he was immediately attracted to her. Knowing that she was a hunter, he admired her even more.
Scavengers and hunters are the only two options for escapees here to support themselves. Scavengers are relatively safe, while hunters are more dangerous.
The activities of scavengers are limited to places where people have lived.
The hunting area is mainly in the wilderness. Thirty years of severe drought have not only wiped out birds in thousands of mountains and wiped out all traces of people, but also dried up rivers and left no fish.
Fortunately, there is always a small amount of precipitation every spring, which preserves a glimmer of hope for all things in the world.
A few plants can survive with very little moisture, such as weeds and thorns.
Some animals can also adapt to dry land. For example, hares can reproduce in large numbers, becoming a source of meat for escapees and the primary target of hunters.
But hares are also the main food of jackals, tigers and leopards. If hunters want to hunt rabbits, they will inevitably encounter ferocious beasts, as well as corpse demons that roam around during the day and beast demons that appear at night.
The corpse demon is the first transformation of a human corpse into a demon, and the beast demon is the first transformation of an animal corpse into a demon.
Therefore, those who dare to be hunters are real warriors. Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. If you can hunt a beast, you can live without worries for a few months.
The young man considered himself not a warrior, so he never had the idea of becoming a hunter. This kind of precarious profession that could lead to death at any time was not his ideal.
He just wants to live an ignoble existence. The right choice is to make a big mistake like today and reach the top of life.
When he thought that he might have missed his life's wealth, the young man couldn't help but feel sad again. However, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't dare to turn back to the wild even if he had a hundred courages.
The young man looked at the entrance of the village and saw that the corpse demons were not chasing him. It must have been that the wind and sand were very strong, covering up the bloody smell of the injured woman.
The young man resisted the urge to go back the way he came and look for clothes, and it was not safe here. He thought for a while and suggested: "I have scavenged in this village and know a safe place. Girl, come with me... …”
This safe place is the wealthy family where the young man picked up the big leak. He led the woman to the Niaotou Gate and pointed to the high courtyard wall next to it: "Let's climb over."
The woman didn't object, knowing that this was a plan to hide her whereabouts.
Before climbing over the wall, the young man thought about the corpse demons that the woman had attracted. He couldn't help but twitch his nose and made sure that there was no smell of blood on her body. Then he was a little relieved, thinking that the wound had stopped bleeding and would not attract any beast demons at night.
The young man jumped up quickly, put his hands on the wall, turned over and climbed up, turned around and went back, only to find that the woman jumped twice in a row, her hands couldn't reach the wall at all, and she seemed a bit out of strength.
It's no wonder that although the Orions are generally better than scavengers, their skills in climbing over walls may not be that high, and she also ran away for a long time.
The young man had no choice but to lie on the wall and reach out to pull her.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to him.
As soon as the young man exerted his strength, he actually dragged the woman up. He didn't expect her body to be so light. Then he felt that her hands were small and delicate, and felt very comfortable to touch, so he was reluctant to let go.
The woman felt something, and stared at the boy with clear eyes from above the mask. Suddenly she exerted force, and her little hand clamped the boy's hand like an iron pliers. The pain made the boy grin and almost fall off the wall.
The woman then said solemnly: "Can you let me go?"
The young man grimaced, waved his hands, and didn't want to pay attention to this unreasonable woman, so he jumped off the courtyard wall.
