Chapter 20 Ask Yourself
Under Lu Shaozhen's persuasion, Bu Yuan could only stand up straight with difficulty. In terms of fear, he was even more afraid than Lu Shaozhen, because judging from his height, the red eyes on his head were not far away, not as far as Lu Shaozhen saw.
"I hope it's as you said." Bu Yuan suppressed the feeling of the hair on the back of his neck, and stepped stiffly and followed Lu Shaozhen forward.
Lu Shaozhen blessed the lightning arc in his hand to the greatest extent, and the unreasonable light almost dispelled the darkness that the mutant bats were hiding. After all, Lu Shaozhen was lustful and could only secretly observe the movements of these bats.
"Lu Shaozhen, I can't do it anymore. This is really tormenting. It's like there's a sword on the top of my head, and it's possible to fall down at any time. The most uncomfortable thing is not that the sword is on the top of my head, but that you don't know when misfortune will come." Bu Yuan twisted his neck impatiently. He hated the most troublesome things. This will only make his temperament become irritable, and thus make him stubborn and brave.
It was this anger that supported him, so he simply let go of his hands and feet and walked up swaggeringly. In this way, the sense of restraint was silently gone, and the red eyes were staring at him suspiciously, not understanding what had happened that made this huge creature complete the transition from timidity to unrestrained. With their brain capacity, they obviously would not think so much, they just obeyed the trend of instinct.
Lu Shaozhen was quite happy with Bu Yuan's condition. He couldn't help but like him in his heart, and he was even more relaxed in his behavior.
So far he has figured out that the reason why these bats have not attacked for a long time is that the light emitted by him really worried these creatures who are afraid of light, and the other hand, their state is not as good as those that weak people can show. The bats cannot understand the foundation of their own people and naturally do not dare to attack rashly, so they can only stand up for the time being and watch the situation continue to develop.
This is how animals driven by instincts are. As long as they show more confidence than them, they will be afraid. If you are willing to be outdone, they will bully you again and again. Don’t talk about animals, even humans are like this. Finding soft persimmons is the common nature of biological organisms.
"Big brother, I'm scared." Mu Xue's lowered voice was slightly crying.
"Don't be afraid, Mu Xue, I don't dare to do anything to us if I measure these little things." As he said this, he aimed the light ball in his palm at a certain place, and all the bats in that place flew up and settled in another place.
"I was scared when I heard what they said," Mu Xue said. "They were like bad guys, discussing how to eat the meat on us to make it delicious."
Lu Shaozhen understood this feeling. If light understands the literal meaning, then everything in the world will lose its original color. Human nature is a prism. Everything will be colorful only after being reflected by human nature. And this is the case now. You will not listen to a group of ferocious evil spirits. The cannibals who may chop you into barbecue at any time and feel that it is nothing.
What's more, a child? Although Mu Xue has seen too many bloody storms, this does not mean that her heart is not worth caring for. It is true that tempering will make people strong, but it is a hard shell built on fragility. The harder the shell, the more fragile it is inside. Polar development is the general trend and the root of all diseases.
Lu Shaozhen rubbed Mu Xue's hair with distress, lowered her head and murmured in his ear: "No, I won't be afraid if I eat chewing gum. I haven't had time to eat what you gave me."
As he said this, he took out the gum from his pocket. The wrapping paper for the gum had been worn out. Lu Shaozhen really didn't know why Mu Xue attached it so much and was reluctant to eat it and gave it to herself.
"I don't want it, this is for the eldest brother. The eldest brother saved our lives. Mu Xue has nothing to repay the eldest brother, and only this piece of chewing gum is left. The last time I took chewing gum was several months ago." Mu Xue opened her mouth wide and showed Lu Shaozhen his unfinished teeth.
"My mom said that my teeth were in development, so I couldn't eat sugar, but I secretly ate a small piece several months ago. I like it."
"What? Can't you eat now?" Lu Shaozhen asked in confusion.
"Of course I can't eat it. The chewing gum is held by the gangs in the big supermarkets. Those who didn't seize the supermarket had no chance to get chewing gum. This is a good thing. Big brother, there is only this piece of chewing gum in the entire grain station." Mu Xue said.
Lu Shaozhen turned his head in shock and looked at Bu Yuan, who shrugged undeniably.
"So that..." Before Lu Shaozhen finished speaking, Bu Yuan took over the conversation, as if he knew what he was going to say next.
"Yes, although the canned meat is about to expire, it is meat after all. I don't think you know much about this doomsday. I am not interested in your experience, but since you are in the doomsday, I must tell you with kindness that the meat you can eat is hard to come by. Domestic animals and birds will either mutate or become extinct, and humans are no longer creatures standing at the top of the biological chain."
Lu Shaozhen nodded with a serious expression. He recalled the bedding in the warehouse and asked, "Do you usually sleep in the warehouse? Do you build the floor in the warehouse?"
"This is natural. In this way, everyone can watch the food not stolen by unknown creatures, and they can also keep warm together. With more people, the air will be strong, and it will not be so cold in winter. The best place for the entire grain station is your room, followed by the infirmary. Your room is for pregnant women and others who need to be cared for. As the name suggests, it is for the patients."
Lu Shaozhen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Is the economy so difficult now? Does it mean that in many parts of the world, people are killing each other for food?
Not only do people have to resist the attacks of zombies, but they also have to grab food from their companions, and at the same time face the attacks of mutated creatures. Everyone's living space is shrinking, and corpses are increasing every moment. Suffering is shrouded on the earth, and the heavy and unreplenishable doom has overwhelmed humans.
How long can people last?
Lu Shaozhen couldn't help but look up again. He seemed to be asking these mutant bats, or asking himself. All kinds of vivid things in the catastrophe game are played in his mind like slides. It's not that the compassion for the world prompted him to feel sad about spring and autumn, but that the prosperous and luxurious metropolis, which had fallen to such a state, has actually fallen to such a state. Who caused it?
Should this guilt fall on unknown creatures or humans themselves?
