doomsday lamb

At the same time, another urban area in the northwest of Chong County.

There is a single-story underground garage in Heyang Community on the outskirts of the city, which is an underground gathering point for some nearby survivors.

Ten days ago, a taciturn and plain-looking young man came to the gathering point. According to him, his name was Li Dong and he had escaped from Shashi.

The people here took him in.

To be precise, these people trapped in the garage by the black corpses have already become numb due to hunger and fear. Except for their hot breath, they are no different from the walking zombies. People in this state simply cannot

I don't care if there is an extra person sleeping in the parking space far away at night.

As for Li Dong's arrival, the managers here are also welcoming. There are rules for entering. If you want to enter this shelter and get free protection and a shelter from wind and rain, you have to hand over half of your body.

rations.

This young man seemed very honest, because he did not resist at all after being searched by the other party, and even said nothing when a fruit knife was taken away.

People quickly concluded that this was a weak man who could be bullied.

But then no one came to bully him. It was not because everyone was kind-hearted, but because most people were already so hungry that they had lost the strength to fight.

The people here are always counting the remaining rations and skimping on them day after day until they drag themselves into chronic hunger.

Among these frugal people, Li Dong is just the most inconspicuous one.

On the evening of the third day after he came to the shelter, Li Dong found a kitten near the vent of the underground driveway. The little orange guy seemed to have fallen from the ventilation shaft that reached the ground and was covered in dirty

It was covered with spider webs and was rummaging through the trash can for anything edible when it was discovered.

But in the garbage that has been turned over countless times, there is no food to be found. Any plant-based melon rinds and fruit shells have been stuffed into the stomachs of those who have survived. It is too late, unless it can remove those plastic papers

Eat it as cat feed, otherwise you will be destined to starve.

And obviously it knows that plastic paper is inedible. Although it is less than one year old, it has been wandering for a long time.

In fact, Li Dong was not the only one who discovered this little creature. Compared to Li Dong, who was still observing from a distance, a young couple was closer to the cat. The cat was whining extremely hungry and the girl was too hungry to sleep.

, discovered each other at the same time at a certain moment.

"Hey, brother Liang, look. It's a cat. It's so small."

"Meow... meow~"

Then more and more people looked up, and the cat realized that there were many people here. It appeared cautiously in front of the crowd, as if it didn't expect to meet so many people here.

For a moment, it was a little happy. It meowed and ran to rub the girl's trousers with its tail high.

Tilt up, swaying slightly, a pair of golden eyes looking at the other party longingly.

Where there are people, there may be food. This is what the cat thinks.

Because in its impression, when it was wandering on the roadside a long time ago, as long as it treated the young girls passing by like this, as long as it lay down docilely and rolled around, exposing its warm body covered with snow-white hair.

Belly, you can get a lot of food immediately.

There are steaming steaks, thick bubbling milk, and cream cakes exuding the fragrance of honey... At this time, it has been hungry for a long time and does not dare to think about those delicious delicacies in its imagination. It just hopes to have a piece of it.

Cold steamed buns are fine.

It screamed hard for this, trying hard to look docile and cute, without noticing that its voice had become hoarse.

Looking back, it seems that it was a long time ago that I drank water. A group of extremely vicious "sick dogs" always lingered around the pool where it often drank water. Once, it was almost bitten, and then left far away.

The girl's response seemed to come very slowly. The cat's meowing became more and more urgent in her impatience, and the echo in the empty garage could not help but be a bit sad. Finally, the girl's boyfriend was also alerted. He rubbed his half-asleep eyes and looked around for the person who made the sound.

Source: I was almost shocked when I found a "moving" creature under my feet.

"Damn it, what the hell is this!"

"Brother Liang, it's a cat. Look at how well-behaved this kitten is."

"It turns out to be a wild cat." The boyfriend gasped in shock.

"Meow meow~"

The life without seeing the sun made this young man's spirit very depressed. He looked at the cat that appeared from nowhere and weakly tried to pull the girl away.

The cat's appearance made him frown: "How can a stray cat be so dirty? Go away. Don't get infected by any mutated germs."

He warned his girlfriend: "The germs in the last days are very serious."

The girl had no choice but to bounce her legs in embarrassment and said softly: "Let's go, let's go, we don't even have enough to eat for ourselves."

The cat was chased away and looked very depressed.

The stray cat didn't know that it was dirty, it was just hungry. It didn't know that the world had changed a long time ago, and it didn't know that after it left, someone around the young couple said sarcastically that they shouldn't let it go.

"What a pity. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Have you ever eaten cat meat? It just tastes like mutton skewers."

Just at this time, the cat walked to the corner where Li Dong was.

Maybe his sense of presence was too low, or maybe the cat was so hungry that it lost its vigilance. In short, it wasn't until Li Dong stood up that the cat was startled.

It remembered the experience of being driven away just now, so it quickly arched its body, its hair exploded, and screamed.

"Meow-"

The long-sounding meow of a cat is more like a fierce and threatening person.

Threatening, as if to say: "Go away, stay away from me! Be careful if I scratch you."

Li Dong quickly turned around and walked away. The cat breathed a sigh of relief, a little panicked, and a little disappointed. It may have remembered the experience of being bullied by those "sick dogs" not long ago, and it could only try its best to tell others that it was very vicious.

Yes, so that you won't be bullied.

But it didn't expect that Li Dong would go and come back. It didn't expect that Li Dong would magically take out a handful of biscuits from the backpack that was so deflated that it could no longer be deflated.

Li Dong found an iron box as a temporary food bowl for the cat, and then put half of his rations into it. Biscuits as big as his finger were piled in half of the iron box. The cat circled around his trousers, eyes wide open.

, looked up at him. He didn’t eat for a while.

Is this really for me?

Its ears moved unconsciously, its long beard trembled slightly, and its eyes looked around Li Dong's face and body.

After the initial nervousness and fear passed, it could inexplicably feel a warmth in this person.

This feeling has saved his life many times.

In the chaos of that night a few months ago, those wild cats and dogs covered in blood gave him a different feeling. At that time, there was a needle-pricking sensation all over his body, but at this moment, Li Dong only felt tenderness.

Warm, like the warm sunshine at noon in autumn...

The tip of its nose is filled with the aroma of food, and the smell of wheat tickles the cat's nose, filling the cat's little belly little by little with a clicking sound.

It ate so quickly that its beard and mouth were full of crumbs from those biscuits.

"Eat," Li Dong said, "When I was a kid, I was as hungry as you."

The cat meowed at Li Dong's fingers, stood up slightly, and touched Li Dong's fingertips with its mouth, looking very docile. Li Dong squatted down, stretched out his hand, and patiently smoothed the cat's fur.

, remove the garbage and cobwebs from it.

While the cat was devouring the food, the people in the shelter looked at Li Dong's actions with cold eyes, watching helplessly as he gave his rations to an unrelated animal. Their indifferent eyes seemed to have characterized Li Dong's behavior as useless.

He was hopelessly stupid and believed that Li Dong would kill himself sooner or later.

Kindness, for the survivors at this moment, is a luxury and distant thing.

It was getting late at night, and everyone and everything was taking a rest one after another.

Some people silently paid attention to Li Dong, who had not eaten much for several days, wondering where he got the food from, and finally stared at the extremely deflated backpack and refused to give up.

Some people pretended to close their eyes and take a rest, secretly casting evil and hungry eyes on the little orange cat, with eyes like an owl catching mice on a cold night.

There was no words in the shelter all night. The cold wind blew through at midnight, and snowflakes started to fall in the outside world at the right time...
