Volume 1 Chapter 3 Desire to Survive
"The taste is not very good, but... the body feels better!" As soon as Fu Hongyang finished eating a black seed, he felt his body change.
The feeling of hunger is gradually fading, and the feeling of powerlessness is slowly disappearing.
A healthy and powerful body is back.
But his stomach was still roaring, not because of hunger, but because of reaction in his stomach: "Is it a mutant or poisoned... But it's always more comfortable to die of poisoning than to starve to death." His confusion over the past few days has made him pay different attention to many things.
It has both the innate desire to survive and the pleasure of liberation that is indifferent to life and death.
Eat a fragrant black seed, and the tempting fragrance on the tree became much lighter, but you could still hear zombies restless under the tree. So when Fu Hongyang roared for a moment in his stomach and there was no further change, he decisively picked the second black seed.
He no longer felt hungry and had little desire to swallow this black seed.
The green and sour taste is really not friendly enough.
"Why throw it out and lead the zombies away so as not to push down the wall of my house?" However, he soon had a new idea, "It should be given to Doudou. It is better to be poisoned by black seeds with me... It is more than a companion on the road, not lonely."
Thinking of this, he immediately crawled down with his hands and feet.
What’s amazing is that after eating black seeds, it only takes a quarter of an hour to restore the body’s sense of strength to its best state, without the slightest weakness of the limbs caused by hunger.
As he crawled down, the zombies outside were still hitting the wall.
Several red bricks on the top of the wall have collapsed.
He did not dare to hesitate and rushed into the house and stuffed the black dog Doudou to the mouth of the black dog Doudou, who was already dying and almost breathless. Doudou, who was originally motionless, seemed to smell the fragrance emitted by the black dog, and suddenly trembled with a force burst out from his body.
Open your mouth and bite the peeled black seeds.
Eat all of them.
It did not disappoint Fu Hongyang. After eating the black seeds, the black dog, which was originally on the verge of death, trembled and got up.
"Woom!"
Doudou whispered to Fu Hongyang twice, then rubbed her head intimately on Fu Hongyang's trouser legs.
At this time, it can be heard that its stomach is also rumbling, the same as Fu Hongyang's reaction after eating black seeds. It is either a mutation or a poisoning. But no matter what happens next, at least now, Doudou has become the lively and active squid again.
"Woom!"
"Word it, Doudou, there are zombies outside." Fu Hongyang touched Doudou's head, and then Doudou seemed to understand and stopped barking - it was not a dog that likes to bark.
Then he reminded him again: "Stay here and don't move."
Doudou is unknown this time, so it has not been trained and just wants to go out with it.
So after Fu Hongyang went out, he closed the door. He continued to climb the black squid tree and observe the zombies outside the wall. Because the two black squid seeds that emitted the fragrance had been picked and eaten, the black squid did not continue to attract zombies, and the zombies hitting the wall squeezed back to the surroundings of the mulberry trees.
These zombies are still shaking the mulberry tree in groups under the leadership of the strong zombies.
"There must be fruits like black seeds on the baubles!" Fu Hongyang guessed that although he did not smell the aroma of black seeds, "Zombies always gather outside my house. This is not a good thing. If possible, I should also pick the fruits of the baubles."
The biggest difference between humans and zombies is the brain.
After the hunger was eliminated and the strength returned, Fu Hongyang was no longer confused, and his desire to survive also exploded rapidly, turning his brain quickly.
During the seven days of the disaster, the claustrophobic experience, the alternation of despair and hope, the interweaving of nervousness and numbness, had long allowed him to survive the initial fear and panic.
The eyes went up the trunk of the black skull, which was a huge tree canopy extending into the smog. The tree canopy not only blocked the entire yard and the second floor, but also blocked half of the cement road outside the wall. The bauble tree is located diagonally opposite the cement road, and the tree canopy looks like it is connected to the black skull.
“Can I climb from the canopy of the black tree to the canopy of the bauble tree?”
It's a bit hanging, and the branches of the canopy may not be able to hold on to his weight. Perhaps when the canopy grow for another two days, the canopy can be climbed along. It is said that the monkeys in the forest live on the upper layer of the canopy through this method and can basically not land on the ground.
"Go up and try it first!"
Climb up the upper layer of the canopy along the trunk, and then find a thicker branch to climb. When you are halfway through the thin haze in front of you, you can see the canopy of the bauble tree through the thin haze in front of you. But what made him helpless was that the canopy of the bauble tree and the canopy of the bauble tree had a height difference.
In other words, if he is brave, he can jump from the black canopy to the bauble tree canopy, but he cannot jump back from the bauble tree canopy.
“This road is not open.”
I can only go back and look at the black seeds full of the trees. These black seeds have no fragrance and look no appetite. They are all the size of fists, and the shell is still green and not mature.
While observing the black seeds, Fu Hongyang suddenly discovered a problem that had been ignored before: "The haze seems to be getting thinner and thinner? Now I can see the outline of the second floor from the canopy. I remember when I climbed for the first time, I couldn't see it clearly!"
Before, I found that the smog had become a little thinner.
But at that time, I was still confused and had no idea about this change.
Now the desire to survive has expanded, which makes him unable to think about the possibility of the smog fading: "Does this mean that the disaster is about to end and then the world can return to normal again?"
"I've eaten black seeds. If I get poisoned, what should I do if I can't wait until the world returns to normal?"
"The government should come to rescue it, right?"
"My parents will definitely be fine, our whole family will all be fine... And Xu Ya, Xu Ya will definitely be fine if she is with her teachers and classmates at school!"
"But it will probably take some time for the smog to truly dissipate. This period of time is the most dangerous for me!" His thinking has returned to the meticulous logic, "especially the zombies outside the wall, this group of people is now attracted by baubles, but after the wall collapses, they will not be able to rush over and eat me!"
The walls are bound to collapse. The black tree roots have destroyed the corners of the walls, and there is nothing in the yard that can make up for the gap caused by the collapse of the walls.
The second floor is about to collapse by the black tree.
The two tiled houses are quite solid, but once surrounded by zombies, they cannot resist them for too long, and the range of movement is too narrow.
"perhaps……"
A new idea emerged in his mind: "Can I live in a tree? Zombies can't climb trees, and even if the wall falls, they can't catch me. I can't live in the tree for three or five days, waiting for the government to rescue after the smog has dissipated... And now, while the wall has not collapsed, hurry up and make a 'tree house'!"
