Epoch of Twilight

In just a few days, Jiaping City was filled with a strong rotten smell. This rotten smell attracted a large number of carrion flies.

This kind of mutated fly is as big as a bullfrog, ugly in shape, and its whole body is fluorescent green. When it flies, it makes a loud noise like a blower. If the means of this creature are limited to this, it is nothing. It makes noise and makes people feel disgusted. But in fact, its danger is not low at all,

This mutated creature would not only stare at rotting wounds, but also suck blood, even blood that was several times larger than its volume. With the delicate skin of human beings, it is impossible to resist the mouthparts of this mutant creature. Of course, if it is only stared at, it will lose a few hundred milliliters of blood at most. To a one-month survivor, it was nothing at all.

A group of survivors walked carefully on the moss-covered street. They were ragged and unkempt. Almost everyone was stained with black blood, and their bodies were covered with large and small scars. Some wounds had not fully healed. There is also pus and blood dripping non-stop, and maggots are wriggling in some places, which makes one's scalp numb.

They supported each other in twos and threes, and limped forward cautiously.

A young man with a dark complexion and a strong body walked in the front. He looked around vigilantly, and suddenly felt something strange in his arm. Without even looking at it, he slapped the fly that was trying to suck blood to death. What is lacking is the reaction. In many cases, life and death are often in an instant.

But the action was still a bit late, the corpse of the mutated fly was splashed with blood, obviously it belonged to him, the black-faced young man frowned, grabbed the corpse of the fly, and took a closer look. There was no pungent smell, not like poison. He looked ahead, and there seemed to be many such mutated flies, enough for the team to eat.

The team has been out of food for a day, and the dried meat stored before has been used up. It is the food that cost three lives. If this kind of creature can eat, then the food for the team today will be available. Food can be accumulated for several days.

The most important thing is that the price paid for obtaining food is almost negligible. Judging from the current "unarmed" state of the team, this creature is obviously the best source of food.

Food is a big problem in the last days. Don’t look at mutant creatures everywhere, but powerful creatures can’t be messed with, and low-level mutant creatures can survive until now and they have become cunning. They don’t run around, have no bullets, and want to catch one. , It must take a lot of effort, but there are so many people in the team, and many of them are wounded. Occasionally catching one is not enough points at all.

Moreover, not all creatures can be eaten. Some things will kill people if eaten. This requires human experience and judgment, and even previous field knowledge is sometimes not easy to use. It is very likely to be highly poisonous, so you can only test it one by one. If you are lucky, you will have a stomachache for a few days.

In addition, the experience obtained from human life is not very safe. There are too many types of creatures after evolution. The whole nature seems to have been added with a strong catalyst, and all creatures have entered a state of frantic competition. Thousands or even tens of thousands of evolutionary types may be developed. Different regions have different evolutions, so we can only rely on people to test the poison. He hesitated for a moment, and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

"According to the rules, I should be the one to do it this time!" A man walking behind with a waxy complexion panted heavily. Bean-like sweat kept dripping from his forehead, his nose was covered with thick beads of sweat, and one of his legs was drenched with blood, even though his thigh was tightly tied with cloth strips, the blood still couldn't stop It was obvious that the artery had ruptured, and a long bloodstain was drawn out as he walked. With such an injury, if there was no one beside him to support him, he would not be able to move alone.

Seeing the young man hesitate, he smiled weakly: "The rules can't be broken, I know I'm on the verge of dying, and there's no way I won't be able to catch the last bus. Everyone brings me such a burden, and besides dragging everyone down, there is no For any meaning, before I bleed out, give me the poison test, I can't walk anymore, so I can do something for everyone before I die."

"Qian Cheng, don't give up. Our third battalion will never give up on any of our comrades-in-arms, at least until... death comes." A middle-aged man with a determined face saw that he had already developed a will to die, and walked quickly to Qian Cheng with an expression on his face. said painfully.

"Battalion Commander, I know my own situation. I really don't want to drag everyone down. Let me stay. I can't bear it anymore." He smiled, broke away from the comrades who were supporting him, and walked a few steps staggeringly, struggling sitting on the ground.

"Give it to me, you can be a stuffed ghost before you die!" He smiled calmly. He has experienced countless life and death along the way, and watched his comrades fall in front of him one by one. Talking to himself, the person is gone in the blink of an eye, and he has already looked away from death.

"Give it to him!" The battalion commander waved his hand laboriously.

The black-faced young man's lips twitched, but he still didn't speak in the end. This kind of thing had happened many times in the team, and he was already numb, because those who couldn't bear it had already died or committed suicide.

Qian Cheng took the fly handed over by the mutated black-faced youth, without looking at it, divided the whole mutated fly into several mouthfuls, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and then swallowed it with a frown.

After eating the flies, his complexion became even worse, sweat flowed down like a stream, and his breathing became more rapid. When he saw someone rushing over, he waved his hands with difficulty to prevent others from approaching.

"It's not poisonous, but... you can eat it." After more than ten minutes, Qian Cheng didn't seem to feel anything unusual, and Qian Cheng straightened up.

Immediately, he seemed to have exhausted the last bit of energy, and slowly fell limp to the ground, and a puddle of blood had already accumulated under his body.

A soldier next to him pressed his pulse and shook his head with an ugly expression.

The team fell into dead silence.

………………

"Keep going. We are only a hundred kilometers away from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. If we marched normally, we would be able to arrive in one day. Even... now, if we walk slowly, it will only take three or four days. Now that we have arrived here, everyone Get out and get out to the Shanghai stock market." The battalion commander said in a low voice but forcefully.

Of course he knows that the speed cannot be as fast as three or four days. This is not the road extending in all directions before the end of the world. The jungle here is full of dangers. Everyone has injuries, old injuries and new ones, and everyone is encouraging and supporting them. After one night, they may not be able to wake up the next day. In addition, food, drinking water, and sleep are all big problems.

In fact, he would be lucky as long as he could lead the team to the Shanghai Stock Exchange alive within half a month, but the cruel reality made him understand that this was nothing but fantasy. I was separated from the big team. From the beginning, there were about two hundred people, and now there are only a dozen people left. Some soldiers who were torn off their arms on the battlefield without frowning couldn't bear this tragedy and even committed suicide secretly. The cruelty can be imagined.

The team didn't respond at all, and there was a strong sense of death, just hurrying along!

At this time, someone seemed to feel something strange, and suddenly said: "Battle Commander, something is wrong here, it's too quiet!"

Only then did the crowd come to their senses, and quickly stopped in their tracks. Along the way, they didn't see any decent mutant beasts at all. It's not normal, it's so abnormal!
