Survival [End Times]

Back to the familiar river, Yu Heng listened to rt9009 helping him summarize the situation of this mission.

The mission was completed successfully, but he got too few fire points this time. In fact, except for the few bookstores he sneaked into in the early stage, he almost didn't get anything later.

The poisonous fog came too suddenly, and there were very few books left, except for some in the safe zone. But those things were too rare, and he couldn't do it at all.

Although he also studied some things to sell to the sub-exchange system, only the imitation of the [Star Protection Shield] developed later was the most valuable. But this most valuable one only exchanged for more than 30,000 fire points.

Only more than 2 million fire points were obtained for one mission, which made Yu Heng, who had gained a lot in the previous mission world, feel a little helpless.

When he returned to his body, Yu Heng felt his cheek pressed against his mother's thigh.

He leaned gently, and after more than ten minutes, his neck felt a little sore. He rubbed his neck and stood up. Mother Yu looked at him with a smile: "Why don't you sleep?"

"I've slept enough."

"Eat something." Father Yu handed him a pack of biscuits.

"This sea is too big."

After swimming for half a month, the beasts also slowed down significantly, and some even died of exhaustion.

Yu Heng caught the sixteenth beast floating on the sea. The body did not rot in the salty sea water, and the meat was still soft.

He put the beast's body alone in a storage ring.

At this time, they also changed to a new mount. The original one was tired a long time ago and could not bear the weight of four people.

The two new ones were of the same kind. Yu Heng tied the two together with yellow vines. He and Mother Yu sat on one, and his father and Cui Nan sat on the other.

The sea breeze was very salty. After more than half a month on the sea, several people were disheveled. When licking their lips during meals, they could taste the saltiness. When swallowing saliva, the throat is tingling and itchy.

Dry mouth and tongue.

In places they don't know, a tragedy is unfolding.

The cold wind wave seems to be just an appetizer. The series of chain reactions brought about by it are the main event.

The ground is extremely dry, cracked into pieces, and there is no moisture at all.

Everything is dry, and the grass and trees are broken inch by inch in the cold wind and buried underground, turning into the most fertile nourishment for the soil. They are waiting for the next spring breeze to blow, and the deeply buried roots will be revitalized again. The tender buds will push through the layers of obstacles and grow into towering trees again.

Then it's another reincarnation.

The sky is dark and dark, and the extremely cold wind wave is raging everywhere.

You can vaguely see shadows moving on the ground. They are creatures that are rushing to the last survival hunting car with their lives.

Most of these creatures have thick fur, and the whole tribe and group are walking towards the north.

The hope of life will never be given up!

In nature, everything is in order, and perhaps the only variable is humans.

Speaking of which, humans are really full of grievances and have nowhere to complain.

After the two planes merged, humans had no way of knowing the survival rules here: they thought it was just a primeval forest, and there were crises everywhere, but it turned out that it didn't follow the routine. The dense forest collapsed without giving people time to react.

Unlike the inherited memories of wild beasts or the teachings of parents and elders, humans are too slow to react when facing sudden disasters.

Maybe there will be a few people with a strong sense of crisis who will have some ideas, but most people are "homesick". In peacetime, they pay attention to returning to their roots. After the incident, it is so dangerous outside, and they have no courage to leave their homeland.

The worst-hit south is the worst-hit.

The merged plane is much larger than the plane where Yu Heng is, and the landforms are ever-changing. Yu Heng's family is relatively lucky. His family merged into a relatively peaceful forest area.

In other swamps, deserts, lava areas, etc., most of the indigenous humans are only one in ten.

Government agencies or military locations were unfortunately hit and disappeared in an instant. This also caused most of the southern regions of the country to lose contact, and the people could not get effective treatment.

The location of Xinke Town is the only exit during the drought period every fifty years.

The sea is the only bridge connecting the twin planes.

That's right, the world on the other side of the sea is exactly the same as the plane here. The connection will be discussed later. At this time, Yu Heng was calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous in his heart.

Because they finally reached the shore.

There are already many humans on the shore, and tents are crowded and filled with the entire field of vision. The humans inside look like foreigners! They are survivors from other countries!

Yu Heng's heart became alert.

The beasts that came ashore ran away happily, and the magical thing is that they did not attack people after coming ashore.

When Yu Heng and his four companions swam ashore, they were surrounded by foreigners.

"What are they talking about?" Yu's father asked. This was the first time he had seen foreigners! He couldn't understand what they were saying.

"Ask where we are from and what the situation is like outside." Yu Heng said.

He replied that he didn't know.

"We have been drifting on the sea for more than half a month."

"Why are there only four of you? Wow, your country is too weak, isn't it?"

Everyone was talking at once. Yu Heng took the opportunity to ask about the situation here, and then he found out that they had only been here for a few days and had been on the shore all the time.

"It's too dangerous! Look at those wild animals. They become super fierce once they come ashore! They will attack you after you leave the shore for 50 meters!"

"What kind of place is this!"

After they came ashore, Yu Heng and his friends found a place to stay.

"Mom and Dad, Brother Cui, let's go and have a look." After resting for a while, Yu Heng said to his parents and Cui Nan.

After all, seeing is believing.

He was still worried about leaving his parents out of his sight, so he went together.

"Okay."

"Let's go."

"Okay."

The four people walked through the crowd. Most of the people around them looked like they were watching a good show, and they also wanted to see them show surprised and horrified expressions.

But they were disappointed.

The Z countrymen walked back calmly and sat down again.

"Hey, aren't you afraid? Monsters as big as mountains! Trees as high as ten stories! Strange flowers that eat people!"

"Afraid."

"Oh, I don't believe it. You Chinese are really hard to understand. Your expression clearly shows that you are not afraid. Why are you lying to me? It's not a bad thing to admit that you are brave!"

Yu Heng said, "I am afraid but I don't show it on my face." What's so good about this?

"Oh..."

It is indeed very dangerous outside.

As soon as they poked their heads out, the beast as big as a mountain turned its head over, its eyes as big as lanterns, full of bloodthirstiness.

With just a few quick glances, the lush branches and leaves outside and the vitality of all things came into Yu Heng's eyes.

No wonder the beasts on the other side of the sea rushed to this side desperately. It turned out that it was severe winter over there and midsummer over here!

But Yu Heng was also a little worried: he had taken his family and Cui Nan all the way north before, which was partly due to luck. After all, at that time, the grass and trees were withered, and the beasts migrated north collectively, and rarely attacked humans along the way. This allowed them to arrive in the north safely with all their hands and feet.

But now it is obvious that those beasts, or the native beasts on this side of the sea, are not so easy to get along with.

Their covetous looks all indicate the intention of attack! Attack! Attack!

"Are we going to stay here?" Yu's mother was a little uneasy. A circle of foreigners stared at her, and the unfamiliar environment made her very uncomfortable.

"It should be like this... at least we have to stay until it gets warmer and rains over there?" Yu's father said hesitantly, looking at his son.

"Let's stay here first." Yu Heng couldn't say for sure. They are far away here, how can they know the situation over there?

But there are always clues to follow. At present, there are two things they need to pay attention to: one is the living problem, and the other is how to deal with foreigners. He doesn't think that in such an environment, the other party will provide humanitarian assistance to the four of them, and it's good enough if they don't bully them.

Xenophobia can never be ignored.

The four of them found a remote place and settled down quietly.

There are not many people in this corner, and it seems that they are not in the same group as others. In fact, Yu Heng discovered from her observations that there were already many groups here, divided by country, ethnicity, and power.

Yu's mother whispered to Yu Heng: "Except for the Olympics, this is the first time I've seen so many foreigners in the same place."

Yu Heng laughed: "Mom, I remember you told me when I was a child that you often saw foreigners at my grandpa's place. They have high noses and big eyes, yellow curly hair, and are very tall..."

"Yeah..." Yu's mother laughed and glanced at the blond and blue-eyed crowd over there: "They all look so similar that I can't tell them apart."

Yu's mother suddenly said: "I don't know how your uncle's family is doing." The grassland where her mother's family is located is actually 80 miles west of Xin'e Town. No matter how unfamiliar the relatives are, it's okay not to communicate, but I still hope that the other party can be safe.

Yu Heng thought for a while: "As long as my uncle's family is not directly destroyed by dangerous landforms, it will be fine as it is so close to the safe zone-" Speaking of safe zones, safe zones are not necessarily safe.

But he didn't regret it.

Many people lived on this beach, and because of various differences, there were conflicts and frictions every day.

Yu Heng didn't know how long this coastline was. There was no end in sight in the left and right directions, and the crowds of people spread to the invisible distance.

The sea has always existed, and there have always been wild beasts floundering on the shore. As soon as they landed, they were caught and slaughtered by hungry people. But they must not be allowed to leave this area, otherwise they would be full of energy and impossible to catch.

Yu Heng had saved more than a dozen wild animal corpses before. These days, he and his parents and Cui Nan dealt with the corpses, opened their stomachs and threw away the internal organs, cooked the meat directly and dried it.

The meat tasted very dry and fishy. There was no way, the corpses that had been dead for a long time could not be bled. And because of the sea water soaking, it was very salty and bitter.

Yu's mother said: "Don't eat too much."

So they usually ate biscuits and instant noodles. Many people here can't get food. Even the largest force nearby, which is said to be an island country in the neighboring country, doesn't have that much food to eat.

There is no way. This sea area suddenly appears in the mainland. Even if there are water tools in the country, there is no way to transport it. There are small yachts, but the carrying capacity is limited.

The first time someone targeted him and tried to rob him, Yu Heng beat him to death. He didn't even need to use a gun. He just twisted his neck and died.

After that, no one dared to cause trouble because they were few in number.

Yu's mother cried behind Yu Heng and Yu's father's back: "It's all my fault. You see, Bao'er is only twenty-four years old..." She twisted other people's necks like a veteran who has been doing evil for decades.

Father Yu smiled bitterly and hugged her to comfort her: "Don't cry, I'm worried that Xiao Heng will look worried. Don't worry, I will work hard to practice that shit and protect you two in the future."

"I practice too."

"Okay, let's practice together."

The two men kept their word. They have been busy traveling these days, and the couple have hardly practiced any practice. Now they practice every day, and they do not slack off in their physical fitness skills because of the complicated moves and back pain.

My parents can always move me.

No matter what they do, they will always take the initiative to explain it to him, find reasons, and put the responsibility on themselves.

In their eyes, they are always right and what they do is good.

Yu Heng smiled as he watched his parents practicing. He turned around, suppressed his smile, and said to Cui Nan, "Brother Cui, let me tell you something."

Cui Nan's character is beyond doubt, and his attitude towards the Yu family has always been friendly. But this was just one of the reasons that prompted him to make this decision.

He wanted to cooperate with Cui Nan and have one more person to help him.

But it's too thin to base your secret on your character and trust.

"Brother Cui, I have something on hand called genetic improvement fluid."

Cui Nan's pupils shrank, and a vertical line appeared, exactly like a snake, looking cold and heartless. He knew that this was going to be a showdown with him. He was a little excited and a little nervous. He knew that he had no advantages. A half-snake like himself had limited abilities.

There are so many orcs now. Living by the sea these days, there are all kinds of plush ears, tails, mountain-like shapes... too many.

There were also many fish people, swimming in the sea one by one, which was very lively. Some people have completely lost their minds and are controlled by family or friends, like animals in captivity.

He envied those powers, but he was also glad that he was still human. But after seeing too many other half-orc forms, he knew that he was different from the Yu family.

To be precise, he and the Yu family seemed to be more advanced. He has the power of a beast but still looks like a human. He still doesn't know what kind of wild beast Uncle Yu and Yu Heng were bitten by, because they can't tell from their appearance.

There is no doubt that their family has secrets, and Yu Heng has secrets.

But now Yu Heng took the initiative and directly brought up the topic of genetically modified fluid?

Cui Nan's heart was pounding. He can turn away and not listen, the less he knows, the safer he is. But are you willing to do so? Are you willing to give up those opportunities?

Of course not!

They are the only four people here who know each other well. They all say that fellow villagers burst into tears when they see fellow villagers. They are the four of them who have the closest relationship in a foreign country.

Cui Nan took a deep breath and said, "Please tell me the conditions first."

They are all smart people. Yu Heng said with a smile: "Okay, then I will fight first and then salute." He took out a yellow talisman: "This is a talisman. As long as you swear an oath to it, You will not betray me or do anything that harms my interests or my safety. If you violate your oath, you will die of heart palpitations before you can say anything."

He said to Cui Nan seriously: "This is not a trick on you."

Cui Nan smiled bitterly: "There really is such a thing in this world. I thought it was just made up in novels."

Even though he said this, he still took it and said the oath.

After speaking aloud, golden lines swam on the talisman paper, and there was a faint sonorous sound among them.

Yu Heng and Cui Nan each took a drop of their own blood and put it on it. The clanging sound became stronger, the talisman paper rose up in the air, and the golden flame burned it up.

At the same time, there was a thunder in the air.

It’s done.

Yu Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. For this spirit-speaking technique to be successful, the most basic point is that the plane in which it is located must have plane awareness, also known as the rules of heaven and earth.

He can also find a partner, but once this thing is used, the relationship established becomes an attachment. Over time, resentment and friction will inevitably arise.

Although it was simpler and more crude, it was not what his parents wanted to see.

Cui Nan also vaguely felt a connection between himself, Yu Heng and an unknown place, and then fell into silence. The feeling just now seemed to be his illusion.

"Is this done?" He also heard thunder.

"Yeah." Yu Heng smiled and felt a lot closer to Cui Nan. "Come sit here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Cui Nan sitting upright, Yu Heng laughed again, thinking that this neighbor's brother was really interesting.

"As you can imagine, I do have some secrets. Now that we have that level of protection, I can feel free to tell you."

Yu Heng directly took out the genetic improvement fluid: "I found that your eyes are becoming more and more like snakes, and you often feel sleepy when you are on the other side of the sea. This shows that the snake genes in your body are getting stronger. But, we It’s people.”

"I don't know the specific changes after you take this thing. I can only tell you that it will change in a good way."

"Both my father and mother drank. Let alone my father, he is just like you. My mother used to be an ordinary person. Look at how good her physical condition is now."

Cui Nan took it carefully, convinced that it was a good thing.

After traveling for such a long time, Aunt Yu didn't suffer from any serious illness or pain, and he noticed that.

"Such a good thing, isn't it expensive?"

Yu Heng said seriously: "It's very expensive. If you weren't one of my own now, I wouldn't be willing to part with it." One million! He only earned more than two million yuan in salary during his last mission.

"Thank you." This thank you is simple, but the emotion contained in it is worth a thousand dollars.

"The reaction after eating this thing is quite strong. It is not suitable to take it here for the time being. You can eat it after we find a safe place."

"good."

"You can also take a look at this. This is what my mother and father practiced. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. If you are unfamiliar with this place, the most important thing is to use force as soon as possible."

"good."

"I have to tell you something." Cui Nan took out the little black snake from his sleeve: "I raised this. I found that most snakes are afraid of me, and I used this to catch snakes before. , It’s not that I have the skills to hunt snakes.”

Yu Heng nodded: "So that's it, that's great. When you walk in the forest from now on, those snakes will cause trouble to Brother Cui."

He pretended he never noticed.

Cui Nan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Okay, no trouble."

The four people reached an unprecedented unity.

Yu Heng also gave Cui Nan a gun: "Don't be afraid of killing people. There are only four of us. If we step back, we won't survive."

Cui Nan took it solemnly: "Don't worry." At this point in life, no one is willing to throw away his life easily.

The four of them often practice bodybuilding together.

In the eyes of those foreigners, this is a very mysterious and terrifying behavior. They secretly said: "Is that the legendary kung fu of country Z?"

Fortunately, the area they settled in was almost entirely separate. Being on guard against each other and watching each other, their strong bones were temporarily safe.

Slowly, people began to go out and come back after hunting.

Yu Heng and the others still had enough food and did not dare to hunt at unknown times.

On the morning of the sixth day after they landed, Yu Heng heard the sound of water.

It is normal to hear the sound of water when you live by the sea, but the sea water is still. If there is the sound of water, there must be humans or wild animals moving.

He opened his eyes and saw the water rippling slightly nearby.

At first he thought it was a wild animal coming over there, but slowly he realized it was a human.

The densely packed heads of people surging on the water are indeed people!

Yu Heng jumped up.

There was a thought in his mind: Those are his own people!

When he saw the black hair and yellow skin, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, Dad, Brother Cui, get up quickly and look -"

The people around them also made a noise.

"Wow, which country are they from? There are so many!"

"Mom and Dad, Brother Cui and I are going to help. You guys stay well and take care of yourselves."

"Hey! Go quickly and be careful!"

The ones who came were indeed natives.

Washbasin, barrel, rowing boat...all available. Most of them were paddling with their bare hands, and they were all too tired to speak. Their skin was chapped and wrinkled, and they were very worn out.

Zhong Hua also had a grimace on his face. Even a fishman couldn't stand such a salty water environment! Even though he was in the water, he felt like he was going to die from lack of water.

"Look! Is that Yu Heng?!" Zhang Zhen shouted, pointing his white and foamy finger forward.

Lin Ke squinted his eyes, his vertical pupils flashing: "Yes, it's really him! Next to him is... Cui Nan, right? We're here! We're finally here!"

Yu Heng and Cui Nan helped pull the people in front of them ashore. After pulling hundreds of people, they were exhausted and panting.

Everyone wore thick clothes when they entered the water, and almost all of them took off their clothes after entering the water. Otherwise, the thick cotton-padded jackets would be so soaked in water that they would not be able to swim at all. The only good thing is that the farther they swam, the higher the temperature of the sea water, and they were able to persevere.

However, after being able to persist in the sea for so long, it was now the end of his strength. Yu Heng almost dragged the person up.

The onlookers slowly dispersed - they had to disperse, there were too many people, one after another came up from the sea, and there was nowhere to stay.

It was already a week later when all these people came ashore and settled down.

But before they had time to make other plans or wait for the others who were lagging behind, all of them were suddenly thrown out by an invisible force.

Regardless of whether it was a long-established country or a violent and domineering group... they were all thrown out.

"My stuff!"

"Ahhh my bag!"

Those who had no time to grab their property were rolling and howling in the air. Losing food caused them more pain and despair than being thrown out by unknown forces.

All kinds of props, plastic buckets, backpack sheets...the sky was tumbling.

Yu Heng and his family only confiscated some dried meat that was drying, and carried everything else on their backs. This was a habit they had developed by traveling day and night, and it reduced a lot of losses at critical moments.

When his body flew up, Yu Heng reflexively grabbed his parents one by one.

"Brother Cui!"

Cui Nan shook out the slender little black snake from his sleeve. The snake was very humane and immediately wrapped itself around Father Yu's arm. Cui Nan hugged Father Yu and the four of them hugged each other tightly. .

The little black snake wrapped itself around Cui Nan's hand, rubbed him and said it hurt.

He couldn't spare his hands to comfort it, he could only say over and over again in his heart: "Thank you, thank you, sorry, sorry..."
