377, Lilliput 05

The mall was open, and he saw a huge black-brown creature moving inside. He couldn't tell what kind it was, so he simply avoided it and climbed up the water pipe. His climbing skills were now very proficient. In Ruiting's words, it was so fast that it rushed up~

When he was halfway up, long tentacles stretched out from the back of the water pipe, and then a big head poked out. Yu Heng's heart was alarmed. Looking at the amplitude and angle of the tentacles shaking, he kicked it first! Kicked the head back, and then climbed up faster.

When he got into the window, he saw a large group of fat ants crowded in front of the glass window, and countless feet knocked on the glass, but they were too big to get in.

After observing the second floor, which was the daily necessities area, it was pitch black and he couldn't see if there was anything else. He listened carefully for a long time, and it was the sound of scales rubbing against the ground. So he didn't dare to go down and climbed to the third floor. The third floor is not the area of ​​the supermarket. The first and second floors of this building are large shopping malls, and the third floor is a Western fast food store, which is similar to KFC.

After probing for a long time to make sure there was no danger, Yu Heng landed. He ran to the back kitchen very experiencedly. Occasionally, he would step on dry and hard things, which were a bit smelly. He suspected that it was the feces of some creature.

When he arrived at the back kitchen, there were more feces. He whispered: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" He lay on the cupboard and waited, and slowly heard the sound of movement inside.

"Shh, don't talk, don't unlock! It's hard to close the lock after it's opened!"

"Yes, don't open it, we don't have enough food, and we can't let new people in."

"The air outside is uncomfortable, don't open the door."

He had good hearing and heard all the whispered conversations inside. He didn't mind. Hearing human voices made him happy from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he was affected by the dark fog. After getting used to it, he could calmly deal with his occasional sentimentality.

Sentimentality is sentimentality, and he never delays his business.

After satisfying his sentimental wish, Yu Heng did not insist on knocking on the door to go in. After leaving the mall, he continued to walk forward. This walk lasted another two months. His body shape remained unchanged, but his body became better and better under the tempering of the environment. At this time, the darkness and fog had almost no effect on him. He could move in the wild without any tools and avoid most troubles and dangers.

It was a pity that the grass became more and more uncontrollable after growing up, and always attacked him. The leaves of the grown-up weeds were sharp, and he could not stand it at all. He had no choice but to release it into the wild and replant it.

It has been a year since the end of the world, and the environment has become worse, making it more difficult for humans to survive in it. Plants grew crazily, squeezing the walls and collapsing the eaves, covering the ground inside the building, and even the walls and ceilings. At this time, the so-called buildings could hardly bring humans a sense of security, unless they could climb to higher floors, but that was where birds moved, there were wolves in front and tigers behind, and humans were forced out of the building layer, and Yu Heng began to see a large number of humans.

Occasionally, he would go out with them to forage for food, and exchange their survival knowledge, such as what to eat, which creatures are dangerous and how to avoid them. However, these people are not physically strong. He asked, and some of them have not been out for a whole year. Now they are forced to go out.

"The place where we live is no longer safe. The day before yesterday, a mole dug through the floor. Although we set it on fire and scared it away, it will definitely come back." It was rare to meet an outsider. A young man named Meng Xin in the team also wanted to talk. He was seen biting the grass roots and grabbing a handful of leaves with both hands. When Yu Heng said "Dig it out, pull it out", he spread his legs and leaned back, shouted and pulled hard, and sat on the ground.

What rolled out of the ground was a lump of earth as high as a person. This is a lump formed at the root of a short plant. It can be eaten, but it tastes sour.

"Is it really edible?" Meng Xin asked Yu Heng while checking it out. Yu Heng nodded: "I have eaten it many times and there is no problem at all." This grass is actually an ordinary roadside weed in the past, the kind that didn't even have a name. It was also a coincidence that he found that the root knots were edible. He saw birds pecking at it. Although it tastes sour, it is very juicy and should be a product of mutation.

Meng Xin wiped off the soil, dug out a little to taste it, and nodded: "Okay! Dig another one and we will take it back."

Each of them carried a root knot back. Yu Heng looked at a certain direction in the dense forest in the distance and asked: "Is that the armed police base over there? Have you seen them?"

Meng Xin shook his head: "No, it's too far."

Back to the gathering place, this is a warehouse of a supermarket. Meng Xin said there are about 4,000 people. "I haven't counted for a long time. Many children were born, and some people went missing. I can't tell exactly how many people there are." Yu Heng followed Meng Xin and crawled into the hidden cave. There was someone guarding the cave entrance. As soon as they came in, they blocked the cave entrance with a long stick.

"It took half a month to dig that cave! Yang Shu said that the warehouse door and windows can no longer be opened. It's not safe, so we dug this hole to go in and out. Sit down, I'll go get something."

Yu Heng sat on the ground and looked around. This corner should be Meng Xin's territory. He dug out the door and window with cardboard boxes. He heard a lot of noise outside. After a while, a man shouted: "Keep it down! Don't attract other things! Whose child is crying? Hurry up and comfort him. Whose child is it! Damn, you only care about giving birth but not raising it..."

The child stopped crying. I don’t know if he was coaxed by his parents or his mouth was gagged. Meng Xin dragged the bag over and asked Yu Heng to help him: "Take this to pick the skin." What he brought were two blades. One side of the blade was wrapped in cloth to serve as a handle, and the blade when raised was about as tall as the two of them. "Have you ever used it? If not, let me teach you. Be careful to find the right angle. Don't cut your hands. I don't have any medicine."

After peeling off the soil and outer skin of the pimple, the two of them hugged each other and ate it. Meng Xin nodded repeatedly: "It's quite moist and delicious!" He took out a pack of biscuits from the corner; "Eat it! Don't eat it!" It’s been a week since I opened it, but it still tastes good. I can’t bear to throw it away even if it becomes soft and smells bad.”

Yu Heng was not polite. He pulled out a piece of biscuit, folded it off, and ate it. While chewing, he looked at the huge warehouse: "How long have you lived here? There are so many people here."

"My home is in the community next door, and I was the first to come here. I climbed directly into the warehouse. I have lived here for more than a year, and I have torn out a whole calendar. What about you? How dare you walk around alone? , How dangerous! Are you looking for relatives? "

"No, I just want to walk around. I can't get used to living in a supermarket all the time. It's too boring."

Meng Xin nodded: "It's really boring! It's all about trivial things every day, such as eating too much and stealing something, and noisy every day. Let me tell you, how can you finish all the food in this warehouse? Just talk about me, such a big man can't finish it all in one day One finger biscuit and a bottle of water are enough for three meals. I can't finish the food! Who cares? It's so messy to move the warehouse, I feel so tired that I can't finish it. You have to open a bag yourself, eat a meal and throw away a bag. I don't think this warehouse can withstand their waste for long." He took a big bite of the lump in his arms and said vaguely: "Wait some more. Everything will deteriorate in a few years, let’s see how they fight.”

After eating, Yu Heng asked: "Are there any candles in the warehouse? Or batteries?"

"You want it? Come with me and I'll take you to get it." Meng Xin clapped his hands, stuffed the leftover biscuits in the corner and walked out.

The warehouse is indeed very messy, with cardboard boxes, shoe boxes, etc. everywhere. After digging out the doors and windows, there is an independent residence. It feels amazing to walk in it.

"It's all here, you can take whatever you want."

Yu Heng looked at the towering stacks of boxes in front of him, climbed up neatly, found what he wanted and reached into the storage ring. Most of the things he saved were daily necessities. These things are now non-renewable and will really be gone after they are used up.

Meng Xin saw him drop a candle and it broke into two pieces on the ground. He quickly helped to pick it up. When Yu Heng jumped down, he said, "The matchbox is over there."

"Thanks."

In the end, the two of them dragged candles and matchboxes back. Everyone they met on the road had a normal expression. Yu Heng stayed for the next two days and had a great conversation with Meng Xin. Meng Xin was a little hesitant but also a little hopeful: " In fact, I really want to go outside and have a look. "In the past few years, my activity range has been near the supermarket, and I can't go far even if I walk for a day and a night. Today, he went out to find food with other people - they are all relatively wealthy people. He was worried and often went outside to find new food. As a result, he met Peng Hengdong who was walking alone, and his heart came alive again.

Yu Heng admired Meng Xin very much and gave him a lot of advice and encouragement: "You have to exercise your body first, so that you can go far, and you can hide when you encounter danger."

Meng Xin sighed: "It's too difficult. After leaving this warehouse, the air outside is uncomfortable." His eyes lit up: "How did you do it?"

"Because I have been living outside, it will be fine as long as my body gets used to it."

"That's it..."

No one spoke anymore, and the two fell into silence. Yu Heng said: "I'm sleeping." "Oh, oh!"

When Yu Heng left the next day, Meng Xin was very reluctant: "It's a pity that I'm too weak now, otherwise I would have gone with you." The two said goodbye outside the cave entrance, "Where are you going next?"

"Go to the armed police base and have a look. Maybe we will come to your side next time." Yu Heng patted the other party on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Come on, take time out every day. These fogs are not insurmountable."

"Hey, I definitely can't do it. I can't do this like you. Forget it, I'll just live in the warehouse. Otherwise, don't leave. It's so dangerous outside." Meng Xin grimaced, as if for a moment Zi lost all his fighting spirit. Yu Heng knew that this was affected by the fog and said: "You should have found that your thoughts in the warehouse and outside are polar, right? As soon as you come out, you become negative. The fog can wear away people's will. , you can’t let yourself be negative, don’t run away from it, I’m leaving.”

Watching Yu Heng walk away and disappear into the dense grass, Meng Xin sighed and returned to the warehouse. After sitting there in despair for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh! Oops, he suddenly became negative again. Damn it, he is not the kind of person who says he failed before he even tried hard!

"Peng Hengdong is right, don't run away from it, face it head on."

After that, Mengxin really started to go out every day to exercise. He talked about this idea with other friends with whom he could talk, and they all thought it was great. "It's like antibodies! I understand!" They began to go out every day and wait until their bodies couldn't bear it before coming back, which intensified the conflicts in the warehouse. Every time the door is opened, the air convection inside and outside the cave becomes faster, which makes the adults feel depressed and the children cry loudly. After several times, Meng Xin and his friends moved out.

On the other side, Yu Heng had only walked a quarter of the way, and was walking carefully along the roadside when a huge dog spotted him, barked and pounced on him. The dog ran very fast, digging the dense grass with its front and back legs, raising sand all over the sky.

"Woo woof!!!"

Yu Heng dodged the moment the dog pounced on him, and the dog's head hit the wall. This is why he always walks close to the wall. If there are cracks in the wall, it is easy to hide when encountering danger. Animals have strong attack power and usually pounce on him without hesitation when they see him. Many times they will directly hit the wall. This is his chance.

He grabbed the hair of the dog's front legs and quickly climbed onto its head. When he found that the prey climbed onto his body, the giant dog was very angry, barking non-stop, shaking violently, and leaning against the wall to scratch with his hind legs.

He pulled the dog's hair and climbed up. Soon he reached the neck and grabbed the dog's ear. Then he took out a thin iron nail from his storage ring. The nail was 15 centimeters long. He spent a lot of effort to sharpen it and make it thinner. When he took it out, the nail was taller than him. He was used to it. After taking it out, he grabbed the tail and nailed it into the ear inch by inch.
