After an uneventful night, Yang Xiao sat on the big rock halfway up the mountain until about 5 o'clock in the morning. When the night faded and dawn came, he lay down on the big rock and started to sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but Yang Xiao felt the dazzling sunlight, opened his eyes and sat up.
It was already noon, and the sun was shining straight down from mid-air. Through the gaps in the bushes, the sunlight fell on Yang Xiao.
He stood up, walked to a place more than ten meters away and peed. He briefly checked the surrounding forest environment to make sure there were no snakes or other deadly poisonous insects. He returned to the big rock again, opened his backpack and took out a bag. A bottle of water, a pack of beef jerky and half a pack of biscuits left over from yesterday.
While Yang Xiao was eating, he looked at the playground below the mountain through the gaps in the bushes.
The number of people gathered in the playground doubled from yesterday, estimated to be seven or eight hundred people.
These people gathered around the orange gene store, and everyone was talking about something.
The smart people started taking food and asked to join Xiao Zhe's team. Xiao Zhe only accepted those who brought enough food. The team had expanded to about 150 people, and Qi CD was a boy.
Today is the second day after the catastrophe. Most people can pick up food and water. However, compared to yesterday, it is no longer so easy. More people have begun to feel fear in their hearts, and many people have begun to collect food and water. Food and water and take them with you.
However, this food is not enough to last for seven days.
The government rescue team that everyone had pinned their hopes on did not show up.
Some bold people began to walk out of the campus, but when they came back they brought bad news, that is, the entire city was almost destroyed, and very few people survived.
Most people didn't really believe what Gu Bo, the little old man in the gene store, said about biological mutations in seven days. However, it still caused a lot of panic in everyone's hearts.
Everyone is now a little relieved that this is a city and there are no large beasts. Even if the creatures mutate, they will not pose any threat to them.
The next night, Yang Xiao was looking up at the moon in the sky when a noise suddenly came from the playground down the mountain.
Someone took advantage of the darkness to snatch other people's food, and the two sides fought, but were eventually persuaded to leave.
This was the first conflict over food grabbing. It was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing quite a ripple in everyone's hearts.
If the rescue team had not appeared, food would have become less and less available. Among the more than 2,000 surviving students at Shonan University, no more than half would be able to survive the seven days, which means that more than half of them would starve to death.
Xiao Zhe has been sensitive to the coming crisis. Now, if he wants to join his team, in addition to having enough food, he must be a strong man.
The rest of the people also started to form small groups. Three or five acquaintances, or people from the same department, formed a small team that could help each other.
Food and physical fitness have become two important assessment factors.
Girls have become the weak ones. Of course, beautiful girls have always been protected by strong men who care about their beauty. In this way, the remaining individual visitors are some thin boys who don't have much food and some ordinary-looking girls who have no food.
In the face of survival, human beings return to their original selfish nature.
Abandoned wood can be seen everywhere. Xiao Zhe sent people to burn two bonfires, firstly for lighting and courage, and secondly for warmth. September is autumn, and the temperature at night is only more than ten degrees, which is a bit cool.
The rest of the people followed suit, and dozens of bonfires were lit on the playground.
There is a huge lamp outside the gene store. It is neither like a human oil lamp nor an electric lamp, but it is very bright and can illuminate a range of about 30 meters near the gene store.
Many small teams, or individuals without teams, gathered around the gene store.
Yang Xiao ate another pack of chicken wings in the middle of the night and drank half a bottle of water. When Yang Xiao finished eating the chicken wings in his hand, he felt a strange feeling in his body, like a weak electric current, which began to flow throughout his body. The wandering lasted for about a few minutes and then disappeared on its own.
What's happening here?
Yang Xiao checked his body in surprise and found that there seemed to be nothing special.
Maybe it's because I'm tired.
Yang Xiao suddenly thought of his parents.
I wonder what’s going on in my hometown now. Is there a catastrophe like here?
Now that the city is destroyed and there is no suitable transportation to go home, I can only pray that my parents, brothers and sisters are safe.
When the sun rose, Yang Xiao fell asleep again.
"Kill, I'll kill you!"
A sharp cry woke up Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao turned over and sat up, picking up the iron pipe next to him.
The shouts came from the playground down the hill. Through the gaps in the bushes, two people could be seen chasing each other on the playground.
This is the second food snatching incident that has occurred. This time it was more serious. The stronger person knocked the other person to the ground and suffered a bloody head.
The girls around were screaming and begging, hoping that the two would stop fighting.
Many boys just watched from afar while subconsciously protecting the food on their bodies.
In the end, the thin boy was knocked to the ground and his backpack was snatched away. The snatcher glanced at the boy on the ground, dropped a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits, and walked away with the stolen backpack.
The onlookers were silent, and what everyone was worried about finally began to happen. Even Xiao Zhe, who is now the largest powerful organization, is not without worries. Although he has more than a hundred people, there are dozens of strong people among them. Boys, however, if this group of people goes crazy with hunger and attacks them together to snatch food, the consequences will be disastrous.
Xiao Zhe subconsciously thought of Yang Xiao again.
Why did this guy suddenly disappear and disappear without a trace? Has he already left the academy?
Xiao Zhe left the team at the playground. In fact, he had the same concerns as Yang Xiao, that is, there is a mysterious gene store here. If a biological genetic mutation does happen in seven days, this gene store will be their last resort. of shelter.
Yang Xiao sat on the rock and silently watched everything that happened in the playground below the mountain. Although he had long expected that his compatriots would kill each other, he still felt a little sad when he saw such a scene.
The ugliness of human nature will be more vividly displayed in the next few days, with selfishness, fear, greed, and cruelty all exposed one by one.
Yang Xiao drank half a bottle of water, ate a piece of chocolate, a few biscuits, and then half a pack of beef jerky.
He put the empty water bottles he had drank in his backpack for the time being, maybe keeping them for future use. There were ten bottles of water in the backpack, and he now limited himself to drinking only one bottle of water a day.
Since there is enough food in the backpack, he is not stingy at all now. He needs to maintain his strength for the more brutal battle to come.
After eating a pack of beef jerky, the weird feeling from last night reappeared in my body.
An electric current rose from the heart and traveled to every part of the body. It lasted for several minutes before gradually disappearing.
This time the feeling was stronger than last night.
"What the hell is this?"
