Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

About death.

Xiaodao said that people start to die as soon as they are born, and every year they are closer to death. Everyone will die, and they are afraid of being useless. When you are alive, you can do as much as you can, in case you become like a saint and live forever.

.

Mei Xiaoyu said that dead people rot in the soil and living people rot in the sun.

Chu Huan felt that death was the simplest thing. For people living in the Wilderness Continent, living requires more courage.

He looked up and saw someone carrying a young body down.

Then more people climbed down from the tree trunk.

Perhaps it was commonplace, or perhaps it was insensitivity, but no one present said anything.

In addition to the sadness at the beginning, there is a trace of sadness in their silence now, and there is also some...relief.

They silently placed the body on the sand and began to pile flammable materials such as dead branches and leaves on top of the body.

Compared with the corpses being exposed in the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts, turning them into ashes can be regarded as a decent departure.

"May your eternal soul pass through the dark and cold hell safely and return to the world under the care of the God of Life..."

Little Lingdang’s grandfather prayed loudly.

In front of him was a blazing fire.

Everyone gathered in a circle, holding hands and looking at the fire silently. Because no one knew they would be next, they used silence to resist the pressure and despair of survival.

No longer explode in silence, but perish in silence.

At this time, the little bell leaned out of the tree hole.

She waved to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan understood and walked towards the giant tree. When he walked in, he discovered that the huge tree trunk had been dug into some grooves. In addition, it had been tilted and tilted for many years, so it was not difficult to climb.

When he climbed to the entrance of the tree hole using his hands and feet, the little bell had climbed to a higher place, and he chased after it without hesitation.

In the end, the two stopped at a place about thirty meters above the ground, where there happened to be a few thick branches crossing each other.

"Uncle, sit down." Little Bell patted the tree trunk nearby.

After Chu Huan sat down, she silently looked at the crowd below.

"Why don't you go down?" Chu Huan asked.

"Grandpa refused, saying I was still young." Little Lingdang said, her eyes turning red: "The third brother loves me the most. He went out to look for water a few days ago and brought me back a lot of delicious food."

"Grandpa said he was sick, but I knew he was injured by those bad guys. There was a lot of blood on his body."

"The third brother said he didn't feel any pain and asked me not to cry. He said it wouldn't look good if I cried." Xiao Lingdang said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I promised him not to cry, and I must keep my word."

"Grandpa said that the third brother will come back after leaving. Uncle, do you think the third brother can come back?"

Chu Huan was silent.

"Aren't you happy if you don't speak?"

"I don't like to talk when I'm unhappy. I like to sit here alone."

Xiao Lingdang said as she took out a wad of paper from her pocket, opened it slowly, then held the paper in both hands... and carefully brought the thing in front of Chu Huan's face.

There is a gummy candy inside, but only half of it is left, so it’s half a candy.

"Uncle, you treat me to something delicious. I'll treat you to this. It's sweet. You won't feel sad after eating it."

"I couldn't help but eat the half pill a few days ago. I want to eat the remaining half pill when I'm unhappy."

"You go ahead and eat, I'll watch you eat."

As she spoke, Xiao Ling Dang's big eyes became watery again. She carefully picked up the candy and placed it in Chu Huan's palm.

Chu Huan's heart ached.

Oh shit!

Why do I feel like crying?

He thought like this and looked up at the sky. As an orphan, he knew what this half candy meant to the little bell.

"Eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt in a while and it won't taste good." Xiao Lingdang looked at Chu Huan with a look of anticipation.

Chu Huan silently put the candy into his mouth.

"It's very sweet." He said with slightly red eyes.

"Yeah, I didn't lie to you." Xiao Lingdang felt better when she saw Chu Huan eating her candy.

"Is there anyone else under the tree hole?" Chu Huan did not chew. He held the candy in his mouth and felt the sweetness coming from the tip of his tongue, but there was a faint bitterness in his heart.

Just now when he saw the crowd coming out of the tree hole, he had a question in his mind. If there was no one under the tree hole, the only child left in the group of people living in the ancient city would be Xiao Lingdang.

If that's the case, why did Little Bell's grandfather throw Little Bell to the mutated bat?

Unless... they don't want to live anymore.

Here...

Hearing Chu Huan's question, Xiao Lingdang shook her head: "There is no one left!"

As expected, Chu Huan fell silent again.

"Uncle, is the sea over there?" Little Bell said, pointing in a direction: "Is the sea as blue as the sky?"

"The leaves are green? The flowers are red? And there are green grasslands?"

"Yes, there are not only the sea, mountains, and forests outside, but also all kinds of delicious and fun things." Chu Huan said, turning to look at Little Lingdang and asked very seriously: "Do you want to go out and take a look?

look?"

"I think so, but..." Little Lingdang said, looking in the direction of the fire: "I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Little Lingdang, one day you will grow up and you will meet all kinds of people. Some of them are good people, some are bad people, some are kind, and some are... vicious."

"But no matter what, I hope you can become a brave person."

"Look, if you're not brave, you can't get out of here."

"Only when you get out of here can you see what you want to see."

"do you understand?"

Little Bell nodded in understanding.

"Uncle, can you tell me about the outside world?" Little Lingdang said and looked at her grandfather: "Grandpa always said that it is dangerous outside."

"Outside..." Chu Huan was about to talk about what the outside world was like when he heard Xiao Lingdang's grandfather calling Xiao Lingdang.

Let Xiao Ling Ding lie on his back, and Chu Huan climbed down from the giant tree with her on his back.

After the chat just now, Xiao Lingdang became a lot closer to Chu Huan. She got off Chu Huan's back and held Chu Huan's hand.

"He went to the ruined city to find some water and weapons, but..." Seeing Chu Huan looking in the direction of the fire, the old man explained.

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared yesterday and disrupted our plan, I'm afraid we would have..."

"But it's nothing." The old man smiled mockingly: "It's worth it for me to live such a long life."

"Please take good care of the little bell tonight."

"What do you want to do?" Chu Huan vaguely guessed something.

"We have already discussed it a few days ago." The old man said with determination: "Instead of being eaten by mutants one after another, it is better to fight with them again."

"Last time, you used a small bell as bait?"

"She can't survive even if we die, and we won't care about her even if we fight. Therefore, you are right to think that I am cold and ruthless."

"Little Bell is my relative, and so are they."

"Let me choose, I would rather send myself there, but the mutants don't like us old guys."

"I may not be able to take care of Little Bell at night." Chu Huan suddenly said.

"you are not willing?"

"No." Chu Huan shook his head:

"I mean... I'm going to deal with mutants at night."
