The setting sun is like blood, covering the wilderness, and the time for the scavengers is up.

Yunying woke up from a burst of spasm and pain in her belly. This familiar feeling occupies most of the space of life and memory. The scavengers call it hunger. It is said that the Creator left an eternal spell to all living beings!

This time I can’t find food again, so I can’t get through tonight.

As for tomorrow? Yunying never thought about this problem.

Because tomorrow is too luxurious for the scavengers.

Yunying struggled to climb out of the hiding hole. When his feet stepped onto the scorching and desolate land again, he felt a strong dizziness. The ancient ruins around him were ruins of different eras, and there were fragments of remains dropped from other worlds. They had once built glory, but now they have become worthless garbage, buried and forgotten by the gravel of time in this wilderness.

The young man's thin figure is so small in the sand and dust. The wind blows the messy black to cover his tender face. A few dirty rags wrap their thin body, and the rough skin is covered with new and old wounds. Except for his bright and clear eyes, he is no different from ordinary scavengers.

Yunying looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Life for scavengers is very simple. They hide from the heat and cold in the cave for nearly twenty hours a day. They can only climb out in the ruins in a short gap in the morning and dusk to find food. Day after day, year after year, life seems monotonous, but it is a great happiness for scavengers, because repetition and monotony are interrupted, which means destruction.

Yun Ying couldn't help but think of the old man.

The old man is an alternative scavenger who has experienced vicissitudes. Not only do he understand the words of the old era, but he knows what the scavengers don’t know, he likes to tell stories and collect useless things, especially the tools, pictures, and words of the old era, but the only object he can share is Yunying, who are the only companions and friends of each other.

That day the sun rose as usual, and the old man failed to climb out as usual.

The old guy is at least lucky because Yunying buried him.

Yunying couldn't imagine what the scene would be like when he fell down. Although this skeleton had no meat, the hungry and red-eyed scavengers were never picky. Those crazy meat dealers would definitely remove him from eight pieces, smoke it and hang it on the rusty iron hook, enjoy some of it, and exchange for some moderately contaminated drinking water.

This is the wilderness, where you can eat anything for survival, and do anything for survival.

Yunying sometimes envies them, but the old man once said that if even the last human nature is abandoned, there will be no hope for human beings.

So hungry!

I can't walk anymore!

The cloud eagle dragged its weak body and wandered among the ruins, like a straw swaying in the wind, with the possibility of falling down at any time. The scavengers had already searched through the ruins. How easy was it to find some food?

Did you get nothing again?

Will this be the last time I see the sunset?

The cloud eagle was unable to sit down and looked into the sky. The setting sun was like blood, soaking the desert. A goshawk soared in the sky among the clouds. His eyes showed deep envy. He named himself Yunying because he hoped to be as free as the eagle in the clouds... After all, was it a luxury?

It's not the last moment yet.

You can't give up! You can't give up!

A tight and rapid pace came!

Yunying stood up like a frightened cub, pulled out a sharp iron piece, staring ahead with a vigilant look on his face. In this turbulent and crazy year, hungry scavengers attacked his kind every day. Most of the children as weak as Yunying were targeted for harm.

Sure enough, with rapid pace, three ragged scavengers rushed out wildly.

Yun Ying's face changed and he quickly took a step back. He was so weak that he could even blow down a gust of wind. Three scavengers attacked at the same time, so there was absolutely no possibility of being spared!

etc!

No, not right!

Although the three men had ferocious faces, they had no murderous aura. No hunter should have, but instead were full of horror and despair.

This is not an attack.

This is running for life!

Yunying had just had an unknown premonition, and a large group of black figures rushed out, with a total of more than a dozen, about the size of a wild dog, with scarlet eyes and scary eyes.

Yunying's blood solidified instantly, and his brain exploded, leaving only one thought that originated from the soul and came from instinctive:

run!

The death threat once again stimulates the potential of life!

A new force was squeezed out from this almost exhausted body. Yunying didn't carefully identify it, and he didn't want to identify it clearly. Just understand it a little bit - this is a mutant beast, a brutal mutant beast, and this is a terrible predator.

The scavengers are just the lowest predators in this desert and even in this ruins. How could they fight against the terrifying mutant beasts?

There is a slowest woman who pounces on her first.

"Save me!"

"Save me!"

"Save me!"

The monster bit his neck with sharp teeth and tore it hard, and a large stream of blood spilled out like a fountain.

The second and third paths, the black shadows gathered one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the woman's body was chewed and torn apart by pieces, and the abdomen, intestines and internal organs were dragged out together.

So bloody, so cruel, so terrifying!

The short but extremely shrill screams were like death talismans shooting at the three people. Some mutant beasts that had not divided the food continued to chase the remaining people. Their speed was too fast. In just three or two seconds, another scavenger was rushed.

"ah!"

"No!"

Bite the bones and tear the flesh and blood. The sound made the Yunying cold all over her body!

When Yunying turned into a corner in panic, he felt even more desperate. The ruins ahead blocked the road, which was an impassable dead end!

what to do?

what to do!

The third shrill scream rang out.

The last scavenger fell down too.

Three or two mutant beasts passed the scavenger's corpse, and rushed towards the helpless and thin boy like black lightning!

Danger!

Danger!

Yunying seemed to smell the strong breath of death, and hesitated for a second and would be doomed!

Looking back will die!

I can only fight!

He rushed into the ruins desperately and drilled into a deep and small slit.

Adults can't get in here, and Yun Ying's thin body can barely fit in. A rustling sound immediately came from his ears - a mutant beast followed in relentlessly!

The fishy smell on the mutant beast is clearly audible, and it is almost right away!

The cloud eagle drilled to the end of the slit and could no longer move forward. The monster's hissing sounded, which was a sign of attack.

A critical moment of life and death.

He resolutely held the sharp iron piece in desperate situation and turned around. At this time, the black figure just blew over, and a cruel light burst out from his scarlet eyes. His extremely sharp teeth were as sharp as a razor, and he was about to fragment the delicious prey in front of him.

The cloud eagle roared out like a beast and stabbed out, and the sharp iron piece just stabbed into the monster's eyes.

The monster howled sharply and violently, hit Yunying, leaving a few blood marks on its sharp claws. Yunying held its head, and the space inside the ruins was narrow and it could not move.

"Go to die! Go to die!"

The cloud eagle was even more ferocious than the mutant beast. It waved iron sheets wildly and stabbed the head and neck for more than a dozen times. A large amount of fishy blood was sprayed everywhere, and the face, hands, and clothes were all covered.

The two monsters were spinning outside but couldn't squeeze in. When they heard the screams of their kind, they immediately turned around and left the place. Yun Ying was half paralyzed in a narrow space, gasping for a big mouthful, his brain was dizzy for a while, and now even moving his little finger became a luxury.

When the madness ended, these fatigue and weakness made a comeback, probably because they were just ignored, and now they are aggressive and need to double down on their demands.

The first time I looked at the creature in front of me.

It has dark and shiny fur, long and sharp claws, scary eyes, and looks a bit like a mutated giant rat, but no matter what it is, it has a dozen kilograms of meat.

food!

Yunying became excited again, and used iron slices to cut the monster's tough skin, tear a few pieces of fat meat into her mouth, sour, rotten, fishy, ​​and rough... This is already a top-notch delicacy for people in the wilderness.

Yunying lives on ants, beetles, and grass roots. It hasn't tasted meat for a long time. When the esophagus slides into the stomach, the warm feeling spreads throughout the body, and the cramps and pain in the stomach weakens, replacing a feeling of difficulty in describing satisfaction!

He ate until his dry belly bulged again.

Finally stopped eating, his face full of happiness.

The mutant beast outside had already walked away, and Yunying was about to drag the prey to the cave with his own hands. These dozen pounds of meat were enough to enjoy for many days.

When the cloud eagle just dragged its prey out, a heavy sound like a wild beast came.

"Put down the meat!"

Four or five adult scavengers stood in front of him, for a very strong-looking man with a hideous scar on his face, and a fierce and violent face full of anger.

These people may have heard the movement here for a long time, so they lurked around and waited, hoping to pick up a few bones, but they happened to meet the child carrying prey.

The fat beast meat made them all red.

Scar roared: "Put down the flesh!"

Yunying's silent expression is as wild as a lone wolf and full of danger. Both sides are like beasts facing each other in the wilderness. In fact, in this era, the boundary between humans and beasts has been blurred.
To be continued...
