I glared at her, and she covered her mouth and nodded, indicating that she understood what I meant.
Sitting down next to me, she leaned close to my ear, "This way I can speak very quietly."
I just felt a burst of heat rushing into my cochlea, and my heart was beating suddenly.
Looking up, I saw Wang Long looking at Xue Anya with a cold face.
But Xue Anya didn't notice, her lips were almost touching my ear, "Thank you, if I hadn't met you, I might have died."
I don't know if she was deliberately trying to seduce me, but she pressed her body against my arm.
Her clothes were very thin and had uneven curves.
I pulled my hand away and waved towards her, gesturing for her to come closer.
Sure enough, Xue Anya obediently moved her face towards him.
I sneered in my heart and whispered in her ear slowly, "Stay away from me."
She raised her head, a little shocked in her eyes.
I made a gesture of invitation, lowered my voice and said, "Don't you understand?"
Xue Anya nodded in astonishment, groped her way up and left.
I watched her sit next to the fire and then looked away.
Anyone who betrays once will betray a second time.
The way she looked just now seemed to me as sarcastic as she could be.
I was very tired, but I didn't dare to sleep.
Until the fire gradually extinguished, there was a sound of snoring in the air-raid shelter, and then it seemed like someone woke up, and the snoring gradually became fainter.
The noise came from the corner where the two strong men were. They were two brothers. The elder brother was named Li Xiang and the younger brother was named Li Chong.
I just learned this when assigning tasks.
The old man's name was Sun Sixiang, and he arrived at the air-raid shelter the day after the nuclear explosion.
He was exposed to nuclear radiation overnight, and he probably didn't have long to live.
In the direction of Wang Long and Xue Anya, the sounds completely disappeared, and only the two people's even breathing could be heard.
My head gradually became heavy, and I woke up from my deep sleep several times.
Nothing was out of the ordinary, the sky outside was misty and bright.
My arm started to itch, and after a few pulls, I actually felt a sting.
Through the light coming from outside the air-raid shelter, I saw some dense red rashes on my arms.
This is where the black rain hit that night.
There was also a rash on my palms, and at that moment my brain came to my senses.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I even found it difficult to breathe.
This is a symptom of nuclear contamination.
I was also exposed to nuclear radiation, and the particles penetrated my bones and reached my internal organs.
In other words, the weakness I feel now is my organs slowly failing.
Despair began to slowly creep over me.
Outside the air raid shelter, the light gradually brightened.
I sat motionless on the cold ground until the people in the air-raid shelter woke up one after another.
The two brothers Li Xiang and Li Chong were the first to wake up.
After moving their bodies, they looked at me and nodded.
Old Man Sun also slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes with his wrinkled hands.
At nine-thirty in the morning, I asked Li Xiang to wake up Wang Long and Xue Anya.
When Wang Lung was woken up, he opened his mouth to curse.
However, the muscular Li Xiang glared at him, and Wang Long hesitated and closed his mouth.
I lowered my head and looked at my watch, "At ten o'clock, everyone will set off on time and be back before sunset."
"Food, water, firewood and shelter are all essential. This is the basis for a safe night's sleep."
Listening to my words, Old Man Sun and the Li brothers nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, old man, although my physical strength is not good, I can still collect some firewood."
"Let's look for suitable stones."
However, Wang Lung said impatiently, "I can't move the stone."
As he spoke, he picked up the bag of compressed biscuits that he had not finished yesterday and took another bite.
"I don't keep any useless people here."
I said solemnly.
"Funny, when did this place become yours?"
Wang Long looked up at me with a little contempt in his eyes.
I was stunned for a moment. Wang Lung's attitude was completely different from last night.
But soon I chuckled, letting him eat was such a mistake.
A person can be hungry for seven days, and this is only the third day.
"Turn a deaf ear to my rules. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Wang Long and I looked at each other, and Xiao Leng said abruptly from the side, "You are really a worm who just wants to sit back and enjoy the benefits."
"You! What did you say?!"
Wang Long was shocked by Xiao Leng's sharp point, "How can I sit back and enjoy the success? Did I say I don't do anything?"
"Hey, why don't you let him go find food with you? Relax, we can handle the matter of moving rocks."
Li Xiang tried to smooth things over by saying, "It's okay. Moving rocks to build a defense is not something that can be done in a day or two. Water and food are more important now."
Wang Long took over, "Right, I just want to go find food with you, why are you so angry?"
I remained silent and didn't speak.
The air-raid shelter is a large corridor with an exit at the other end. It is indeed a big project to completely cover it.
"I just spoke a little too hastily, brother, don't worry about it."
Seeing that I didn't speak, Wang Long rubbed his hands and smiled.
I glanced at him and said, "Follow closely when you get out. Don't run around or move around."
After saying that, I put on the gas mask, took Xiao Leng and turned around to leave.
"Definitely, definitely!"
Wang Long agreed repeatedly, and Xue Anya followed behind me.
After leaving the air-raid shelter, I looked up and looked for the highest landmark here.
Not far from the top of the air raid shelter, there is a very high mountain with a circle of cement blocks to prevent landslides.
I wrote this landmark down in case I wandered too far and couldn't find my way back.
Relying on my memory, I led a few people to search the city.
Wang Long and Xue Anya walked very slowly. He was wearing slippers, simple slippers from the same hotel, with very thin soles.
Just half an hour after walking, Wang Long and Xue Anya started to cry out in pain.
"Lin Wen, I have blisters on my feet. Can you take a rest?"
Xue Anya squatted on the spot and begged me.
"Just rest for a while, I can't walk anymore."
Wang Long sat down on the stone pier next to him.
I looked at the deserted road ahead. It looked like a dead city.
However, this place was far away from the center of the explosion, and most of the buildings did not even collapse.
On the third day after the nuclear explosion, not a single soul could be seen here, which was very unusual.
Judging from the degree of damage to the building, the impact of the shock wave of the nuclear explosion on this place has been very small.
The mortality rate among the residents here shouldn't be high, but the reality is that I can't even see any living creatures besides us.
It's so strange. Is it because of that kind of monster?
Or there are other changes...
"If I remember correctly, there is a shopping street five minutes' walk ahead. If you persist, you can go there to find a set of clothes and shoes to change into."
I spoke in a deep voice and continued to move forward with Xiao Leng.
Xue Anya and the others stood up and followed.
It turned out that my memory was correct. Five minutes later, we were standing at the intersection of the shopping street.
The first thing you see is that the streets are desolate. The glass of the shops on both sides of the street is shattered into pieces. Garbage and broken glass are scattered randomly on the road. The scattered stalls have fallen into pieces, as if they have been smashed.
There is no trace of the hustle and bustle of the old city here.
At the entrance of the shopping street, a metal vertical plaque hangs: 'Jinyuan Shopping Street'
I stared at these five big characters, and my pupils suddenly tightened.
Because the lower edge of the plaque is actually covered with a layer of black mucus!
I squatted down and took a closer look. The shape of the black mucus was composed of several overlapping six-finger paw prints.
Six fingers...
I took a deep breath, and a chill surged into my heart. This was the trace of activity from that compound-eyed monster.
