It's getting later and later, and it won't be long before night falls, completely covering the entire land.

Chen Fan stood in the crowd, and like most people, he stood on tiptoes and looked hard at the horizon in the distance.

Deep in the wilderness, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from time to time.

If the hunting team cannot get back to the bunker before it gets completely dark, what they will face is boundless darkness and ferocious beasts that can attack anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt his arm tighten. He looked down and saw that it was his mother beside him, who was holding his arm with a pale face, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Mom, don't worry, Dad and the others will be back soon, right now."

He comforted softly.

The woman nodded, then raised her head and looked eagerly into the distance.

Chen Fan glanced around and saw anxiety and panic written on the faces of hundreds of people.

He sighed inwardly. He didn't know why, but he just took a nap on the subway. When he woke up, he traveled through time here. Today was the second day after he traveled through time.

This world is similar to the previous life. The difference is that ten years ago, the world changed. The birds and animals, including flowers, plants and trees, have all changed. Not only have they grown in size, but they have also become cruel, bloodthirsty and extremely aggressive.

Among humans, there are awakened people. Their mental power is far beyond ordinary people, and they can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Some top awakened people are not afraid of thermal weapons and can destroy a town in a previous life with a single blow.

Of course, there are a very small number of awakened people. Where they are, cities are gradually forming, attracting survivors. I heard that some large cities have electricity, Internet, delicious food, and clean water just like they did ten years ago. , people still take the subway to work from nine to five as they did in the past.

After all, resources are limited. The vast majority of ordinary people are not qualified to enter cities, even small cities. They can only form strongholds to protect themselves and resist the vicious beasts.

Not to mention electricity, even the most basic life safety cannot be guaranteed. There is a lack of food, medicine, energy, and daily necessities. They walk on the edge of life and death all day long.

For example, the original owner of the body couldn't bear the hunger anymore, so he sneaked out, ate unknown fruits in the wild, had a high fever for three days, and finally died, letting him take over the body.

"Could it be that something really happened?"

He couldn't help clenching his fists.

At this moment, excited shouts came from the seven-eight-meter-high wooden watchtower nearby, "They're coming, they're coming!"

"Really!"

"Where is it? Why didn't you see it?"

"People can't see far when they stand high, but soon we will be able to see it too."

"Great, I'm finally back."

The crowd was completely boiling. Looking far into the distance, I could see some small black spots slowly appearing on the horizon, getting closer and closer. Everyone was relieved, and the smiles on their faces became thicker and thicker.

However, as the team approached, the smiles on people's faces gradually solidified.

I saw a group of more than ten people, holding bows, arrows and spears, looking embarrassed. Several of them were being helped to walk, and some were carrying people on their backs. Even those who were walking normally had more or less colorful decorations on their bodies.

As far as the eye could see, there was no prey.

The more astute people discovered that the number of people was still a few short.

The team slowly approached and stopped in front of the suspension bridge. The leader had a square face and a stern expression. There were several bloody wounds on his right arm, but at this moment, his face was full of guilt.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The man licked his chapped lips and whispered: "I'm sorry, this time, we encountered two intermediate-level ferocious beasts. They suddenly attacked us. Not only did we lose our original prey, Zhuzi, Ahua, Xiaogao and the others... "

Before they finished speaking, several people in the crowd felt dizzy and fainted.

The crowd suddenly became commotion, and the people around him were busy lifting the fainted person and taking him home.

The other people in the hunting team also lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look into the eyes of the old, weak, women and children.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.

Dead?

Three of them died at once.

It seems that in the memory of the original owner, this was the worst casualty ever.

The square-faced man named the leader was the father of the original owner of the body and the leader who led everyone to build this earthen castle.

Sparse voices sounded, some sobbing, some sighing, and some speaking to comfort them.

The hunting team entered slowly, and the suspension bridge in front of the door was also pulled up. The entire camp was surrounded by a wall more than three meters high, making it appear impregnable, giving people a rare sense of security.

The wives and children of the injured man were heartbroken when they saw the man being seriously injured, but they were secretly grateful when they thought of the few people who went out with him in the morning but never came back at night.

Those who suffered only minor injuries took their families and left. After a while, the sky had completely darkened, and the entire camp was plunged into darkness. They could only see the surroundings clearly with the help of the faint moonlight.

"Guodong, your arm."

The woman grabbed the square-faced man's right arm and shed two lines of tears in her eyes.

Chen Fan walked over. He had just traveled through time for a few days, and he was still a little uncomfortable with this identity.

"I'm fine."

Chen Guodong shook his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If I could have discovered those two beasts earlier, Zhuzi and the others would not, and would not..."

"Snapped!"

A big, solid hand patted his shoulder, and a bald man comforted him: "Guodong, this is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame this damn world. Those of us who survived." , sooner or later there will be such a day."

"Go back and rest early."

He patted the latter's shoulder again, then smiled at the serious-looking Chen Fan, and went back with his family.

"Dad, go back first."

Chen Fan said aloud: "My brother is still at home."

Chen Guodong was startled and nodded.

The entire earthen castle fell into a deathly silence. In the nearby room, the firelight danced, and from time to time there were crackling sounds and feeble conversations.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat more."

"Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you sleep."

"But am I really hungry?"

"Be obedient. If you eat those things, you will really have nothing to eat."

The voice gradually weakened.

Chen Guodong's face became more and more guilty.

Chen Fan caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly. Although his father was taciturn, he was an upright and kind-hearted person.

Every time there is prey, it is divided equally among the people in the village, and the old, weak, women and children are raised, so that the family is stretched thin, which makes many people complain.

Recently, we have had bad luck and there are very few prey. There is not much food in the entire village, and everyone is suffering from hunger.

Winter is coming soon, and if things continue like this, I'm afraid there will really be a tragedy of cannibalism.
