Dong Qing woke up wandering around and looked at the familiar ceiling. After a long time, he remembered that he had fled back to his nest.
I wanted to struggle to sit up, but as soon as my arm touched the bed, a heart-piercing pain irritated Dong Qing's nerves.
"Hiss!" Dong Qing took a deep breath and turned to look at him. On his shoulder, there was a huge scratch extending to his left waist.
The wound was simply bandaged by the cleaned rag strips, but his movement just now obviously touched the huge wound, and red blood leaked from the surface of the rag strips.
Here Dong Qing just woke up and made a little movement, and when he heard Dong Qing waking up, Xiaoya pushed the door in, "How about it? Does it hurt?"
Xiaoya was holding a hot towel in her hand. She walked over to help Dong Qing with difficulty, let him sit up with her back against the bed, and then carefully wiped Dong Qing's sweating forehead with the hot towel.
"It's okay." Dong Qing's face was completely pale with the intense pain. He only said this to relieve Xiaoya.
"How long did I sleep?" Dong Qing, who finally recovered from the huge pain, turned to ask.
"Two days." Xiaoya's voice was choked. Dong Qing never wakes up. If it weren't for the weak breathing and heartbeat, Xiaoya thought Dong Qing was going to die.
"Two days..." Dong Qing leaned against the bed, panting, closing his eyes and thinking about something.
Xiaoya cleverly leaned on Dong Qing's shoulder.
Dong Qing's body hadn't recovered yet, Xiaoya didn't dare to lean up completely, but just pressed her head slightly to Dong Qing's chest.
"Is there a lot of food at home?" Dong Qing said in a hoarse voice. The first thing he cared about after waking up was the food of the three of them.
Xiaoya was silent.
Seeing her like this, Dong Qing knew that it must be terrible.
"Look whether the bag I brought back, there are a few pieces of bread I got in the mezzanine." Dong Qing said to Xiaoya as if thinking of something.
One minute later, Xiaoya took Dong Qing’s bag to the bedroom, and saw that there was a huge crack on this strip of gray leather bag. Except for a little blood, there was no bread in the bag. .
"Damn!" Dong Qing cursed secretly.
He has such big scratches on his back. How could the backpack he carried on his back survived? Those precious pieces of bread should have been lost.
But it’s not that there is nothing left. In the interlayer of the backpack, Dong Qing still digs out two bottles of pills, one is calcium tablets and the other is vitamin tablets.
Dong Qing's complexion was slightly slower. He took such a big risk this time and was even surrounded by three living dead, mainly because of these two bottles.
Without eating vegetables for more than two months, the three of them have more or less minor problems. Among them, the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen who is growing up is the most.
These diseases are not fatal, but make people feel uncomfortable, and often have symptoms of fainting and dizziness.
"Brother, are you better?" At this moment, the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen walked in with a bowl of steaming blackness.
After smelling the food, Dong Qing gulped involuntarily.
During the two days when he was in a coma, Xiaoya, who had eaten every day, fed him liquid food, not to mention the small amount, and it did not contain much energy. The body was repairing the wound again, and he was in a mess.
This dark bowl is no stranger to Dong Qing. Everything that can be eaten at home has been cleaned up. The three of them have been relying on this stuff for the past half month.
A small amount of millet is added with sesame, bark and instant noodles to make a black paste.
In the past, Dong Qing couldn't watch it, but now he can only rely on this thing to survive.
At the end of the bowl, the black bowl was divided equally between the three under Dong Qing's strong request.
From the faces of Xiaoya and the little girl, Dong Qing can tell that they have not eaten anything in the past two days.
"How many days are there enough food at home?" Dong Qing asked after eating.
"If you save some food, you can last three days." Xiaoya said.
The food at home had been eaten as early as a month ago. Later, Dong Qing risked his death and went out to get food, so that they could survive until now.
Unfortunately, every time I get very little, my life is still tight.
The last few packets of instant noodles are left. They are not willing to eat them. Instead, they grind them into instant noodle powder, mixed with sesame seeds and a little millet to make a black paste.
Dong Qing and Xiaoya are also college students anyway. They know that there is a layer of tissue called phloem between the bark and xylem of the trees. Fortunately, there are two trees in the yard. The bark is mainly the part of the dug trunk.
However, it was not yet spring, and the two trees were dug and cut off by Dong Qing and others before they sprouted. The energy intake from the bark is really limited.
How about knowledge to change destiny, without this little skill, without the bark support, the three of them should have starved to death a week ago.
The rest of the family's food, including the box of canned fruits and snacks, were all eaten by a few people a month ago.
"I will go out tomorrow to find something to eat." Dong Qing said in a deep voice.
"No." Xiaoya hurriedly squeezed Dong Qing's hand. Dong Qing was in a coma for two days, which really frightened Xiaoya. She was too afraid that after Dong Qing went out, she would not return.
Even the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen looked at Dong Qing blankly, not wanting him to go out for adventure.
Taking a pat on Xiaoya's hand to relax her, and touching the girl's head again, Dong Qing sighed, "We will starve to death if we don't go out, I have to fight."
Xiaoya knows that Dong Qing is rather stubborn, and she can't bring back a few cows when she decides. She can only red eyes and say, "I'll go with you."
"I'll go too." The little girl also joined in the fun.
"No, you are going to add chaos, don't worry, I have been out several times, this time the injury was an accident." Dong Qing shook his head.
After that, he took out the two bottles of medicine, took out two tablets and stuffed them into the palms of the two women's hands.
"Quickly eat them, your body is too weak." Dong Qing said.
His lack of strength was due to the injury. The second daughter was weak because he gave most of the food to Dong Qing, and the nutrition could not keep up.
Under Dong Qing's gaze, the second woman put the pills in the mouth.
The blackness did not make them full at all, let alone half of them were stuffed into Dong Qing's mouth by them. The pills are not rice, but at least they can be swallowed and digested.
Calcium tablets are slightly bitter, while vitamin tablets are slightly sweet. Two different tastes make the two girls hold them in their mouths like sugar, not willing to swallow them for a long time.
The next afternoon.
Dong Qing’s lunch before leaving, Xiaoya made twice the amount.
Eat enough to run, not to mention Dong Qing's body has not fully recovered.
The heavy green leather security door was opened again. Dong Qing, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a large and one small waistcoat, took a deep breath and stepped out of the threshold.
"Remember the knocking rhythm we discussed last night, don't open the door to strangers, you know?" Dong Qing warned the second woman uneasy.
"Yeah, I know." The second girl nodded like a peck.
In this world, those who can survive are either capable or ruthless.
After going out for a month to search for supplies, Dong Qing knew that in addition to the three of them, there were some scattered people surviving in this area. When he first discovered it, Dong Qing was also happy to find the same kind.
There were also some people who were willing to exchange living supplies with Dong Qing and others.
But since Dong Qing mistakenly brought back two unruly people once, when the two showed their fangs to be against Xiaoya and Zhao Zhenzhen, Dong Qing has really adapted to the rules of the end times.
Don't mess with him, Dong Qing, he is a harmless death house, but whoever wants to mess with him, Dong Qing who initiates the cruelty, is not a bully.
Fortunately, Dong Qing reacted quickly that day, and to be safe, he always hid a slender crowbar in his sleeve, and suddenly resisted, so Xiaoya and Zhao Zhenzhen were not bullied.
The two **** were finally beaten to death by Dong Qing, and one arm and one leg were scrapped.
Broken one arm and one leg, and how long these two people can live in the end times, Dong Qing has no idea.
He didn't even realize it, but since when, his temper has become a lot more violent.
Xiaoya has always been his veins. Whoever bullies Xiaoya, Dong Qinghui will fight him desperately.
In addition to these scattered people, on the west side of their houses, there is a group of people huddling together for warmth.
Dong Qing has never been there. From a few familiar scattered people, he learned that the environment there is not very good, women and children have no status, and sometimes they are treated as goods transactions.
Dong Qing, who has Xiaoya and the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen need to take care of, certainly can't go to such a place.
Forcibly enduring the tingling pain on his back, Dong Qing half-bended, observing the surrounding situation from the root of the wall, while slowly moving outward.
Negative energy has turned many human beings into terrifying living dead, and has also changed the physique of many surviving humans.
At least in terms of recovery ability, post-apocalyptic humans are more than half of pre-apocalyptic humans.
Otherwise, Dong Qing wouldn't be so badly injured. After only three days of recuperation, he could go to the ground and go out again to search for food.
Of course, it is also possible that Dong Qing has a special physique...
In order to cover up the **** smell from the wound on his body, Dong Qing specially wiped his body with muddy water before leaving, so he is now covered in black, and in order to hide his breath, he hides in the corner for a long time and does not move. I really can't find that there is a big living person.
The habitual probe glanced at the next room, and there was nothing but a human corpse half-paralyzed on the ground.
"A Huang went out..." Dong Qing murmured, their house has not been surrounded by the living dead, a large part of the reason is that the mutant beast that belongs to A Huang is permeating.
Animals have a strong sense of territoriality. I dare not say anything far away, but as long as they are close to the living dead 50 meters around this yard, they will be dealt with by Ah Huang.
The corpse was the old man Liu, the owner of Ahuang. The old man died on the first night of the outbreak of the last days, but Ahuang still persisted. He kept the corpse every day except for hunting.
Without Ah Huang guarding next door, Dong Qing felt a little worried. He decided to go back and get enough food for the three of them to eat for two days, so he returned immediately.
Dong Qing's worries, in addition to the threats from the surrounding living dead, also come from the group of survivors in the west.
He was once reminded by an enthusiastic ‘scavenger’ that the group of people in the west coal yard had been watching them for a long time.
