The Prepared People in the End Times (3)

Chapter 13

As Ji Changze waited quietly, the meteor shower finally stopped.

It was still pitch black outside, but screams and cries for help continued. This was the most chaotic time, with cars driving recklessly, humans who were stimulated to the point of mental breakdown, and plants that had just mutated and were eager to show off their skills.

And the animals in the zoo that were released because of this accident.

It was a mess down there, and it looked like the sun wouldn't rise for a while. Ji Changze simply lit a candle and went to the house to clean up the supplies that were piled up in a mess by the original owner.

He was fast, and soon he put the randomly placed supplies in order according to their categories and usage methods. Li Hechuan next door watched for a long time before he appeared on the balcony, and then he returned to the house a little disappointed.

Inexplicably, he would feel at ease as long as he saw Ji Changze sitting there.

It might be because the other party was calm and unhurried in talking about the current situation, or it might be because of the speculation about Ji Changze's identity as an "agent".

Both families hadn't slept, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting. It was dawn.

After feeling the light, Li Hechuan looked down at his watch. It was one o'clock in the afternoon. He was surprised and hurried to the window to look outside.

The other survivors were also very excited. Everyone felt that as long as it was dawn, the disaster would definitely be over. Even if this meteor shower caused casualties and national turmoil, as long as there were still people alive, everything would be fine, at most they would suffer a little.

As a result, the reality was more cruel than imagined.

Everyone soon found that there was still no signal on their mobile phones and computers at home, because there was no electricity and they couldn't turn on the TV. However, the old man had a radio and could barely hear some signals that were not clear at all.

People who have lived in the city for a long time have long been accustomed to means of transportation and various electronic communication devices. They get information from the Internet and TV, get entertainment from their mobile phones, and can contact anyone by making a phone call, but now all of these are gone.

The elevator can't run, and the road surface is damaged so that ordinary vehicles can't drive at all. This is not only that. After the water and power outages, the inconveniences of life are more than these.

Let's take the simplest example. It's dark. Most people who are used to lighting tools like lamps don't have candles at home. Some don't even have flashlights. The battery of the mobile phone can last for a while. What will happen later?

Li Hechuan thought of these things quickly. The situation at his home is even worse, because just this morning, there was only a little rice left in his family. Even the water used to cook porridge before was the mineral water that he bought before and forgot to drink. Now either his family will starve to death or go out to find food.

But going downstairs to find food...

He looked down from the balcony and saw that the vines below were tightly wrapped around a wolf that came from nowhere.

Whether it was the prey and the vines or the wolf being wrapped as prey, it was exciting at a glance.

Li Hechuan looked down at his fat arms that belonged to a 200-pound fat man. With his physique, if he went down, he would definitely be the first to be eaten as fat meat.

How to deal with it.

As he was hesitating, he saw Ji Changze opening the balcony door and coming out. He was carrying a huge bag on his back, which was also camouflaged. He was also wearing a camouflage uniform, a camouflage cap on his head, and a telescope around his neck. When he lowered his head to pick up the long knife on the balcony, there were rows of large and small sharp tools hanging on his side.

Li Hechuan: "..."

The more he looked, the more he looked like an agent.

He thought for several seconds, and when he saw Ji Changze taking the knife and turning around to go out, he hurriedly shouted with courage: "That, that, Uncle Ji, are you going out?"

That's right, although Ji Changze was only 30 and Li Hechuan was in his twenties, because his parents were on equal terms with the other party's wife, he had to call him uncle and aunt.

Ji Changze stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him; "Yes, your aunt took Xiaobao out before, I want to go out to look for them, and see if I can find something useful."

Li Hechuan's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly recommended himself; "Can I go out with you? I can... um... can..."

Damn, he can't do anything.

After pausing for several seconds, he carefully extended his fat paw forward.

"Can I be the bait?"

"Just share some of the food and drink you find with me, please, please, my family has almost eaten all the food now, and I'm afraid I'll starve to death if I don't find something to eat."

Ji Changze looked up and down at this young neighbor.

Evenly white, evenly fat.

Move, the meat on the thigh can shake.

For those animals and plants, it should be a soft persimmon.

****

A man carefully hid in the building, using the shadows to avoid the too scorching sun and moved forward. As he was walking, he suddenly heard the cry of a crow.

He immediately stopped and stood still.

Although it had only been a week since the meteor shower, most of the humans who survived had already figured out the situation.

Now there was no water or electricity, plants had mutated, and animals were more ferocious than before. Although their size had not changed, because of their large numbers, the city had basically become a paradise for plants and animals.

Hearing the crows cry meant that there was a corpse rotting nearby. No matter what the corpse was, if it could attract crows and not be eaten in such a situation, it meant that there were either no creatures in this area, or there was a powerful creature here, so other creatures dared not come.

He carefully hid behind the pillar and watched the crow.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The crow flew low, screaming, and noticed that there were decaying creatures below. After flying a few circles in the air and finding no danger, it flew down cautiously. It had just landed on the dead animal and pecked it twice. A seemingly harmless grass standing quietly next to it suddenly attacked it and opened its leaves.

It had not yet adapted to the fact that the hunters also included plants. It panicked and wanted to fly away, but was directly closed in the leaves of the other party.

The screams of birds sounded hurriedly, and some black feathers floated low in the sky. Within a minute, the area returned to silence again. The full plants returned to their original quiet appearance. Only the crows that struggled from time to time in the closed leaves could show what had just happened.

——Gudong.

The man swallowed his saliva in fear, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

He was just unsure whether to go around the plant or simply return to find food somewhere else, when he found that a fat man in camouflage clothes and a camouflage hat was walking in front of the plant.

He covered his mouth, thinking that he was about to see the death scene of the fat man.

Li Hechuan deliberately swung his fat arms, held his chest and head high, and walked in a very fancy way for such a short distance.

Although his fancy show of how delicious he was made the plant react, considering that the plant was not as tall as a human, although it was quite wide, and had just caught prey, it did not attack.

Li Hechuan walked over and walked back, but the plant did not move.

He walked over again and walked back, but the plant still did not move.

Finally, when he walked back for the third time, the plant became impatient.

It has occupied this area for a few days. Basically, the rapidly developing animals and plants here know it. Every time it passes by, it will hide as far away as possible, but no creature is as presumptuous and arrogant as this human.

Although it had captured enough prey to eat for a few days, it didn't mind letting this human know why its leaves were so bright.

As soon as Li Hechuan walked to the middle, it opened its leaves, spit out the crow inside, and came towards Li Hechuan at a speed that humans could not react to.

Although this human was big, it had evolved anesthetic secretions. As long as Li Hechuan was bitten by it, he would fall down in less than two minutes.

Ji Changze was lying in ambush not far away. When he found that the other party had started to attack, he immediately threw the spear in his hand over, hitting the core hidden in the innermost part after it opened its leaves, and directly penetrated it.

The plant that was so arrogant just now was silent in an instant, and died quietly on the spot.

Ji Changze then came out of the grass where he was lying, walked forward and threw a handkerchief to Li Hechuan to let him wipe the cold sweat, took out the spray bottle on his waist, unscrewed the bottle cap, skillfully broke the leaves, poked the core of this anesthetic grass (a name he gave it casually) that was as big as a normal man's head, and put the bottle underneath to catch the mucus flowing out from it.

Li Hechuan wiped the sweat off his face and stepped forward with excitement: "Uncle, this anesthetic grass is big enough, it should be able to make a lot of anesthetics, right?"

Ji Changze motioned him to take out a larger empty bottle from the bag they were carrying, and nodded: "It's enough for two months, but there's no such thing as too much stock, we'll look for more later."

The anesthetic liquid produced by these anesthetic grasses can be used as anesthetics, and because it can be diluted a hundred times, it is convenient to carry. The diluted anesthetic takes effect quickly and does not cause any other harm. It is definitely the best choice for hunting, and the prey can also be used safely.

Ji Changze has been trying to find people outside the circle, but because there are too many powerful animals and plants nearby, he must prepare weapons if he wants to go out, but other weapons can basically not be recovered, but anesthetics are different. Just a little bit, no matter what you use to attack, it will be useful.

After accidentally discovering this three days ago, this area of ​​anesthetic grass that dominated the world suffered, and Ji Changze and Li Hechuan came to fish and enforce the law to sweep them one by one.

Seeing Ji Changze continue to drink the anesthetic liquid, Li Hechuan reached out and plucked the apple-sized fruit from the top of the anesthetic grass, and began to eat it with a slurp.

Smacking his lips, he felt that it tasted good, so he picked another one and handed it to Ji Changze: "It's quite sweet, uncle, you can have one."

"No, you can divide it later, half for each person."

Li Hechuan nodded, chewing and said vaguely: "Is it sent to my house after three days without finding my aunt? Uncle, you are such a good man, don't worry, when I find my aunt, I will definitely speak well of you and tell my aunt that she misunderstood you."

Ji Changze doesn't like to eat fruits, but he always leaves half at home. After three days, the fruits are not fresh, so he gives them to Li Hechuan and his parents.

Li Hechuan and his parents all know that he is thinking that if he finds his wife and children, these fruits can be given to them.

It's a pity that they have been tossing for seven days, and they have met few living people, not to mention aunt and Xiaobao.

Li Hechuan finished eating with a crunch, and took out a large plastic bag from the bag on his back, unfolded it, and put all the fruits into the bag until it was full.

Seeing that Ji Changze was about to finish, he was about to say whether we should look for more anesthetic grass, but suddenly he saw something swaying across the street from the corner of his eye, and immediately became alert, pulled out the gun from his waist and aimed at it.

"Uncle, there is something."

Ji Changze immediately put the bottle on the ground, pulled out the spear, quickly sprayed anesthetic on it and aimed at that side.

"No, no, no! Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

A man walked out from there with his hands raised, he was so scared that he was shaking when he spoke: "I'm not a thing, no, I mean I'm not a bad person, I'm just passing by."

Seeing that it was a living person, Li Hechuan was about to put down his guard and put down the gun. When he found that Ji Changze hadn't moved, he quickly raised it again and pointed it at the opponent: "What are you doing? Why are you spying on us!"

"No, no, I came first, and you are the ones who come later. Don't shoot. Please, please, I still have my wife and children waiting for me to go back. I will leave immediately without delaying a second."

The man's legs were shaking with fear. Li Hechuan wanted to ask a few more questions. Ji Changze beside him suddenly asked: "Have you seen anyone else these days? Have you ever seen someone who looks like he's in his mid-20s, with long black hair and skin?" A pretty white-haired woman with a baby? Her name is Guo Junyuan.”

Li Hechuan sighed in his heart. Uncle Ji was also ill and had to go to the doctor. He would know where Auntie and the others were when he saw a human being.

Even in a movie, it definitely can't be acted like this.

Man: "I know, I know!" She is hiding in a place with us. The child is called Xiaobao, right? My wife helped her take care of the child when she went out to find food. Who are you? It's her Family member?”

Li Hechuan: "..."

Is this okay? ?

The European Emperor!

Ji Changze immediately put away his spear, stepped forward and asked, "Are you willing to take me to find her? I can give you food as payment."

Seeing that he was no longer hostile to her, the man breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "Can you give me something to eat now? I haven't eaten all day, and my stomach hurts from hunger."

Ji Changze raised his left hand to Li Hechuan behind him. Li Hechuan understood, took out a fruit from the plastic bag and handed it to the man.

Ji Changze: "It's okay. Just eat, it won't be enough for us. We are all human beings and should help each other."

Let alone fruits these days, you can't even find dry food. The man's eyes lit up when he saw it. He hurriedly took it and took a few big bites. While feeling the satisfaction of eating the food, his eyes were red with emotion.

"Thank you, thank you. I have met others before. They were very vicious. Not only did they take away all my belongings, but they almost killed me. If there hadn't been a bear passing by at that time, they were scared and ran away. My life would have been lost." All gone."

He looked at Ji Changze in front of him, who had fair complexion, delicate features, and gentle manner, and sniffed.

"Sure enough, there is still true love in the world. You are really good people."

"It's okay, it's okay. We are all human beings. It's normal to be friendly to each other. Don't worry, we'll talk about finding them after we eat and drink. I'm an honest person in everything I do. By the way, what's your surname, brother?"

Not understanding the situation, Ji Changze didn't mention a word about his relationship with his wife and children, but started to create a carefree image for himself while talking.

Behind Ji Changze, Li Hechuan watched Ji Changze accept the other's gratitude and admiration with a smile: "..."

He quietly glanced at Uncle Ji's right hand behind his back.

On the front, he was talking and laughing freely, but on the back, there was a sharp scalpel between his well-maintained slender fingers.

Sure enough, it was frank.

After Ji Changze finished shaping it, he asked Li Hechuan behind him: "Chuachuan said yes, we are all good people."

Li Hechuan: "...Yes, yes! We are all good people!"

The author has something to say: Randomly send out red envelopes, good night everyone

[Jinjiang Literature and the author jointly wish my dear readers and friends: peace and happiness during the Spring Festival holiday! At the same time, we warmly remind everyone to wash hands frequently, wear masks, ventilate more, and gather less]

Do you know what just happened?

I just finished coding, so I was about to send it out. I remembered that the editor wanted us to send out the above attention message, so I went back and copied it.

Then I came back and found it was midnight...

I always thought it was just before eleven o'clock...

Is my memory wrong or am I confused?

So after losing 9,000 people for perfect attendance, now I don’t even have 3,000 people anymore.
