Survival [End Times]

When he went to bed today, he was still a little scared of the strange bird last night. Fortunately, it didn't come tonight because of the yellow vine.

He slept well.

In the next three days, eleven more people died in the community, causing panic in the community.

There were rumors that they were all infected with insects, which was very scary.

I don't know if the rumor is true, but those people hurriedly cremated the bodies in the open space outside the power room behind the community, using gasoline from the car.

Fire and smoke, every day for these three days.

Every household rushed to repel insects and mosquitoes, and the smell of mosquito repellent water and insect repellent filled the entire community.

Yu's mother also repelled insects and mosquitoes in the corner of the house, and said in surprise: "If you don't say it, I didn't notice it, it seems that there is no mosquito in our house?"

"Those yellow vines have the effect of repelling mosquitoes."

"No wonder, it's quite useful." But Yu's mother still sprayed the house once, sprayed three times a day, and Yu Heng sneezed more than a dozen times a day.

"Mom, if it was a mosquito bite, then no one can escape. They should have been bitten by something when they went out. Do you remember the child you met in the hospital before?"

Yu's mother's face changed, and she couldn't help covering her mouth.

"So, when you go out, you must protect your body well and don't get bitten by strange things." Yu Heng still remembered the insects that were forced out of his body, and he also felt a chill.

Although there was a hole in the pants, he had seen it, and after sewing it up, there was less than a centimeter of trace. If it wasn't for his mother's carefulness, she wouldn't have found it. And there was no wound at all at that time.

So when the community organized people to go out together again, Yu Heng and his father wrapped themselves more tightly.

Yu Heng remembered that there was a kind of plastic jumpsuit with rubber-soled shoes. This kind of thing was quite practical, so he asked his mother if she knew where to buy it.

Yu's mother thought for a moment, "We don't use this kind of thing much here, right? I don't know."

Yu's father knew, "Let's go to the old street and see if they can sell it."

Yu Heng planned to go to the old street, so that his father would go with him. He agreed because he was worried about his father going to the supermarket alone with the people in the community.

"We need to buy some daily necessities, so we won't go with you."

The organizer Yang Guozhen was very unhappy because the number of people who came out this time was half of the last time!

The strange deaths made many people back off.

Both of them had a yellow rattan wrapped around their bodies. Someone asked, "What are you two wearing?" They were wrapped so tightly and wrapped with a rattan. It looked so weird.

Yu's father said happily: "This thing, I accidentally discovered that it can repel insects! Last time, there were two left, so I tied it on my body and went out."

"Is it true?"

"You must be kidding, this thing looks very ordinary."

Some people also believed: "Where can you find this kind of vine?"

Yu's father said a place: "It's hard to cut, you have to be careful." After pretending to drop a message casually, Yu's father didn't care about other people's faces, and walked with Yu Heng in different ways.

On the way, they met a group of people hunting, "Hurry up and cut it!" "Fuck him, cut its neck!" "Ah, I caught it!!"

The bloody smell spread, accompanied by the heavy breathing of the beast.

"Is that a cow?"

Yu's father said hesitantly: "It looks like a cow, it's very big."

Yu Heng looked over, and the figure of the cow-like animal surrounded by the crowd was also very obvious. Now it was lying on the ground, and it was about 1.3 meters tall.

Many of those people were injured, but they were all in high spirits. They tied the hemp rope and carried the "bison" back.

Now Yu Heng saw the appearance of the "cow" clearly. It looked like a plowing ox. It was brown and yellow, and its horns were thick, curly and pointed. However, its eyes were very big. At this moment, it was staring with its eyes wide open, which made it look even bigger.

Those people carried the cow and disappeared into the path.

"These people are too brave. How dare they go against such a big guy." Yu's father frowned, still frightened. It's not like they have nothing to eat. If they accidentally get their stomachs pierced, they will die under such conditions.

Yu Heng understood his father's thoughts and he agreed with them. If he wanted to hunt, he would definitely look for those little rabbits. Such a big size is too risky.

After the two left here, they didn't know what happened next: the smell of blood attracted a group of vulture-like things, but they were three times bigger than vultures. They were very large and blew down a patch of grass when they landed.

They made bloodthirsty cries and ate all the blood on the ground, even if it was stained with mud, or even seeped into the ground and ate it together with the soil.

"Ga——"

They spread their wings and flew away in the direction of the blood smell, pursuing their own taste feast - there was a brand new taste in the taste of blood, which was extremely sweet.

"Ga!——"

Yu Heng and Yu's father walked slowly along the way. When they saw some unfamiliar plants, Yu Heng would use the [All Plant Encyclopedia] to explore. There were many dangerous plants, such as a kind of grass called snake fun grass, which was a kind of grass that snakes liked very much. When Yu Heng and his friends passed by, they used a broom to clear the way - but after sweeping away the grass, they found a nest of snakes in it.

! !

Yu's father screamed in fear, and Yu Heng quickly pulled him back, his nerves stretched to the extreme.

As a result, the snakes did not move.

"I was scared to death." Yu's father panted. "Why are there so many snakes!"

Yu Heng has already found out what this ninety-eight-curved grass is: "These snake grasses are very attractive for snakes to sleep in the grass. Dad, if we see this kind of grass in the future, we will avoid it immediately!"

Except for this one which is quite scary, none of the others bring such a thrilling feeling.

However, in addition to these dangerous things, there are also practical and good things. Yu Heng found a tree called the sword tree. It was non-toxic and had no leaves. It only had a large cluster of vertical branches all over its body.

The branches are not difficult to break. After breaking, a viscous green liquid will flow out from the branches. This liquid can treat insomnia and dreaminess, and has a good effect on sleep.

In addition to this, after the branches are dried in the sun, they will become as hard as iron and have excellent shape. According to the description in [Full Plant Encyclopedia], Yu Heng thinks it should be comparable to a steel pipe.

This kind of branch looks good, cylindrical, getting thinner and thinner from the bottom to the top, and the top is pointed.

At first glance, it looks like a good material for making weapons. Yu Heng uprooted two plants.

I won’t go into details about other encounters one by one. In short, the Yu family and his son walked and stopped all the way and arrived at the old street without any danger.

The old street is said to be an old street, but it is actually a shopping market. It has food, clothing, daily necessities, washing, cutting and blowing... everything is a continuation of the old market. Everything sold is cheap and all-inclusive. , very prosperous.

Although there are many trees and flowers and plants here, fortunately there are not many trees, and not many of them are on the streets. Most of the buildings are still well preserved.

There were quite a few people at the event. Father Yu took Yu Heng to the store he remembered, and sure enough, he found piles of plastic jumpsuits and jumpsuits inside.

They took ten pairs of pants and ten pairs of clothes.

There are many other plastic products in this store, and they picked some and brought them with them.

Father Yu quietly asked him, "Son, can that thing of yours fit in?" He heard from his wife that it was only eight cubic miles.

"It can fit, my ring is bigger than mom's."

"That's fine."

They then followed other people at the event and visited other shops. Among them, what Yu Heng likes most is clothes.

In his opinion, there is no shortage of food in the short term. Even if all the food in these civilized times is eaten in the future, sitting in such a large forest, as long as you are careful, you will not starve to death.

But daily necessities are non-renewable - at least until a strong force, such as the country, re-establishes a safe zone, they are completely consumables.

It's only March, and the weather is already so hot. Yu Heng measured it at 45 degrees Celsius at noon during the day.

In such weather, the consumption of daily necessities is very large, such as the clothes you wear, sweat and salty fabrics will be ruined. Furthermore, he is also afraid that if it is so hot now, it will be so cold that he will want to crawl into the ground!

So he decided to save some clothes first.

Nowadays, few people pay attention to these clothing stores. It was early spring when the accident happened, and most of the stores still sold long-sleeved sweaters and coats. Who wants them now that the weather is so hot?

So Yu Heng successfully gathered a lot of clothes, all of which were winter clothes.

Father Yu stood behind the door to look out for him, but no one came to the clothing street here.

They raided two clothing stores, one for women and one for men. I also found some unsalable clothes from the summer that were gathering dust in a small warehouse.

Watching his son skillfully run to the small warehouse behind the store and skillfully pick the lock, Father Yu twitched his lips, but in the end there was nothing.

When my son came out, he asked, "Would you like to find a children's clothing store?"

Seeing his son's confused face, he smiled: "You are not allowed to take a wife and have a baby in the future? Do you want to save some clothes for the baby first?"

As if struck by lightning, Yu Heng reacted for a while: "Dad, why do you want to go so far?"

"A few days ago, I asked Cui Nan to design a wedding ring for you. I thought you had a partner."

"Where is it?" Yu Heng frowned, not remembering that he had said such a thing at all, "Okay, let's go quickly, Dad."

Little did they know that there was good news waiting for them at home.

Yu Heng's father and son returned home with a full load, and returned home the same way. Yu's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys went out together, I was very panicked." She took what her husband had in hand and said happily: "Cui Nan is awake!"

"Really? What a good thing!" Father Yu looked over and saw that there was no one on the sofa: "Where is the person?"

"He went back to his home." Mother Yu was also very happy: "I agreed with him to come over for dinner tonight."

Yu Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Nan can be said to be the main reason that prompted him to accept this system. If he had not been on the verge of death and faced the invitation of this system, with his temperament at the time, he would definitely not have accepted it so simply. He might have hesitated and lacked the courage to accept... Only the burden of life and death can make him decisive.

The feeling at that time, hopeless and helpless, a life lost because of him... In fact, accepting this system and going to other mission worlds to do missions is also a bit of an escape.

He is afraid of life and death.

Even though he later learned that he could go home every time he completed a task, he did not dare to go back, even though he missed his parents and those twenty years.

He is afraid.

In his escape-style idea of ​​returning home, he must buy everything he needs. No matter if it is one billion or two billion, he will save up his salary to buy it.

But until the last mission, after Zhang Henghui's death, he was a half-zombie, and there was no one to talk to. After looting all the prosperous cities deep in the vast territory that had not been rescued, the large construction and encirclement forces also cleared there.

He mixed in, and traveled through many zombie cities until the end - the zombies in the country were cleared.

However, those who did not meet the zombie virus index in their bodies were still excluded. Another regime was established by a level nine superpower, just in the southwest, claiming to be "freedom, equality!"

There is no one to discriminate against you, no one to harm you, no terrifying detection instruments, no human experiments. As long as you want, you can live there, and no one will investigate your physical abnormalities. After all, people there are not "healthy" people.

Yu Heng settled there. Save crystal cores and exchange materials for crystal cores. The funny thing is that after the zombies are eliminated, there is no place of origin, and things like crystal cores are more expensive.

Yu Heng's living expenses are too expensive.

Also lonely.

Bored, he went abroad for a stroll. The country on the left was still in a state of war, and he took advantage of the situation to get a lot of fire points.

Are fire points important? Very important. Looking at the 100 million in revenue, he was no longer happy.

He wanted to go home.

So this time after his life ended, he chose to go home.

Fortunately, Cui Nan was not dead, and his father was alive and well. He was building a solid home step by step, and everything was slowly moving towards a good future.

His heart knot was untied, and his mind suddenly became open.

Thinking of this, Yu Heng smiled: "Mom, what dishes are you going to cook? I still have a lot of things here. I'll read them to you. I'll get you whatever you want." There were still many things in his storage ring that he hadn't taken out.

"No, there are still a lot of things at home, enough to make!"

"I've boiled the bath water, one bucket for each person, hurry up and take a bath."

When the meal was almost ready, Yu's mother said: "Bao'er, go and call your brother Cui to come over for dinner."

Yu Heng went to knock on Cui Nan's door.

Until they sat down, Yu Heng could feel Cui Nan's occasional gaze on him, with doubt.

"Xiao Cui, Yu Heng's father and I are very grateful to you for saving his life. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate. Let's visit each other often and live a good life!"

Yu Heng nodded beside him.

Cui Nan hurriedly said: "Aunt Yu, you are too serious. I didn't do such a great thing. Don't worry. I was bitten by a snake because of bad luck. It has nothing to do with Yu Heng. Let's not put too much pressure on him. During the time I was sick, you took care of me. In fact, I owe you a favor!"

His tone was very sincere. He really felt that he did nothing.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After the meal, they sat in the living room to drink tea and talk, and the most important thing was to talk about the changes outside these days.

"This rattan is quite effective. I plan to cut some more. Brother Cui, do you want to go with me?" Yu Heng said. He felt that there was no need to say more words of gratitude. As long as he had something good, he should remember to ask Cui Nan to benefit from it together. Living a good life is the most practical.

Cui Nan nodded: "Okay, you are leaving tomorrow, just call me."

Before leaving, he could not refuse Yu's mother's enthusiasm, and had no choice but to carry a large bag of things back to his home.

The bag was very large and heavy. When he opened it at home, he saw candles, flashlights, food... At the bottom was a box, a medicine box. When he opened it, he saw that the varieties were very complete, all of which were common medicines.

He pinched his nose to block the sourness inside, and carefully put all the things away.

The next day, Yu Heng took Cui Nan to the yellow vine forest. When they got there, they found that many of these yellow vines had been cut down, and many trees looked like they were obviously gnawed by dogs.

"Are the vines on your windows cut from these vines?" Cui Nan started to cut: "It's really hard to cut."

"So you have to use a saw." Yu Heng gave him a saw. "It's easier to get a complete cut if you climb up."

He started to climb up, and after a while he looked down and saw Cui Nan standing there with a wry smile on his face: "I... can't climb trees."

"Oh. Then I'll help you cut some, and you cut some short vines below.

"It's okay, I'll try to climb. You go up first."

"Okay."

After Yu Heng had been cutting vines on the top of the tree for half an hour, he saw Cui Nan climbing up in a mess.

"This tree climbing... is too difficult!" He collapsed on the vines and couldn't move: "It's too tiring, you're quite good at climbing trees."

"You'll get it if you climb more."

After that, the two returned with a full load, and Cui Nan asked: "You don't seem to like talking much?" I remember that on the way to help drive Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu to the hospital, he kept chattering, and it was obvious that he had a cheerful personality.

"I've always been like this, Brother Cui, come to my house for lunch after you go back, and I'll teach you how to weave a vine net after lunch. "

Cui Nan could see that what he said was from the heart. Although he was confused, he was just a neighbor next door. He didn't need to dig into why his personality changed so much in the past few days.

Besides, the world has become like this, it is normal for personality to change after being stimulated.

"No, I can eat at home. And I can also weave a net, so I won't bother you."

When I got home and told Yu's mother about it, Yu's mother said, "He studied design, it's normal for him to know." She didn't even mention inviting him to dinner at home again.

After all, these are two families' lives, there is no need to force them to stick together.

Cui Nan is also a very opinionated person, otherwise he would not refuse his son's invitation to come home for dinner.

Sure enough, after Cui Nan finished weaving the rattan net, he brought the oatmeal from home to borrow a hammer and steel nails.

How could Yu's mother accept his things! She also scolded him, saying that he was too polite. Maintaining the lives of each family does not mean that you have to be so fussy.

Cui Nan smiled bitterly and accepted the kindness of the Yu family to help him order windows.

In this way, the two families began to live together.

During this period, Yu Heng first gave his mother the gene improvement liquid, and when she woke up, it happened to be the time for the community to organize an outing again.

Yu Heng and Cui Nan went out together. This time they went to the shopping mall they went to last time, and found that it was completely empty.

"How could such a big supermarket be emptied?"

"Someone must have driven here to move things!"

This mall is not much like the one Yu Heng had been to before. It is a chain brand mall with three floors and a large area. The first floor is the food area, with things piled up in groups. How could they move everything without manpower?

"What should we do?"

This mall is far away. They walked for nearly three hours. There were many dangers on the road. They avoided some plants that they judged to be poisonous based on experience and some aggressive animals. They finally got here, but the mall was empty. Psychologically, they couldn't bear it.

"This is quite normal. There are so many people living nearby. If everyone moves a little, it will be empty." Some people are more rational and say, "Let's think about whether there are other places."

In fact, there are. In addition to large malls, there are various small supermarkets, small shops, rice shops and grocery stores... There can be several on one street.

"Then let's disperse! Let's gather here at four o'clock and go back to the community together!"

Before the organizer Zhou Yaobing finished speaking, everyone ran out quickly. His face was a little ugly. Someone patted him: "Old Zhou, then let's go too?" His tone was also very anxious.

Zhou Yaobing said: "Let's go!"

"Let's go too?" Cui Nan asked him. Yu Heng shook his head: "I want to go upstairs to take a look."

Cui Nan thought about it and nodded: "Then let's go together."

The second floor is a comprehensive area, with clothing, home appliances, and daily necessities. It was also turned upside down, but there were still a lot of things.

"Let's split up, so it's faster, call me if there is something."

Cui Nan nodded: "You too."

Yu Heng walked and looked, and bought ten storage rings. He didn't take anything from the shelf, but went directly to the storage warehouse on the second floor and started to choose according to the words on the box. He moved two boxes of batteries and a box of flashlights.

After that, he found the alcohol stove he wanted, and heaved a sigh of relief. He started looking for fixed alcohol blocks nearby, and he found them. There were more than fifty boxes in total.

He took thirty boxes and ten alcohol stoves.

These can last for a long time. They are enough for their family to use before they adapt to living by burning fire.

After finding the most important supplies, he started to buy other things.

He also took a lot of plastic buckets, plastic boxes, storage boxes, washbasins, etc. He packed toothbrushes, toothpaste and towels in boxes.

...

In the end, there was not enough space, so he bought five more rings, and the six million fire points were used up.

After leaving the warehouse, he went to the clothing. Although he collected a lot of clothes when he went to the old street last time, he still took some more after seeing the better quality clothes in the mall.

Later, he met Cui Nan in the toiletries area. He was pulling a cart to load things. When he saw Yu Heng, he called him: "You come too, take more. These things will be gone after they are used up."

Yu Heng took some more and exchanged information with him: "There is a warehouse over there. I'll take you there."

"Okay."

Finally, the two returned with a full load. The two used the largest bucket they found to carefully stuff the things into it. Finally, each of them had a large bucket and dragged it downstairs. Hearing that the sound was not right, they went upstairs to find some sheets to wrap the bottom of the bucket so that they would not be worn out.

When it was four o'clock, people came back one after another, but Zhou Yaobing counted and counted, and nine people had not come back yet.

After waiting until five o'clock, the others were impatient and said, "Let's go home!"
