Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 563

[Chapter 563 Doomsday (14)]

Dong Qing, who woke up wandering around, looked at the familiar ceiling, and it took a long time before he remembered that he had fled back to the nest.

He wanted to struggle to sit up, but just as his arm touched the edge of the bed, a piercing pain irritated Dong Qing’s nerves.

“Hiss!” Dong Qing gasped, turned his head to look, and there was a huge scratch on his shoulder that extended to his left waist.

The wound was simply bandaged up with clean rags, but his actions just now obviously touched the huge wound, and bright red blood seeped from the surface of the rags.

Here Dong Qing just woke up and made a little movement, Xiaoya who heard Dong Qing woke up over there pushed the door in, “How is it? Does it still hurt?”

Xiaoya held a hot towel in her hand, she walked over and helped Dong Qing up with difficulty, let him sit up with his back against the head of the bed, and then carefully wiped Dong Qing’s cold sweating forehead with the hot towel.

“It’s okay.” Dong Qing’s face was completely pale from the intense pain, he said this just to reassure Xiaoya.

“How long have I slept?” Dong Qing, who finally recovered from the great pain, turned his head and asked.

“Two days.” Xiaoya’s voice was choked with sobs, Dong Qing never woke up, if not for her weak breathing and heartbeat, Xiaoya thought Dong Qing was going to die.

“Two days…” Dong Qing leaned against the head of the bed, gasping for breath, closing her eyes and thinking about something.

Xiaoya obediently leaned on Dong Qing’s shoulder.

Dong Qing’s body hadn’t recovered yet, Xiaoya didn’t dare to lean on it completely, but just pressed her head slightly against Dong Qing’s chest.

“Is there still 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 for the three of them.

Xiaoya remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Dong Qing knew that it must be extremely bad.

“Look at the bag I brought back. There are a few pieces of bread I got in the interlayer.” Dong Qing said to Xiaoya as if remembering something.

A minute later, Xiaoya took Dong Qing’s bag to the bedroom, and saw a huge crack on the gray leather leather bag, and there was no bread in the bag except some blood stains.

“Damn it!” Dong Qing cursed secretly.

There were so many scratches on his back, how could the backpack on his back be spared, those precious pieces of bread must have been lost.

However, there was nothing left. In the interlayer of the backpack, Dong Qing still found two bottles of pills, one was calcium tablets and the other was vitamin tablets.

Dong Qing’s face softened a little, he took such a big risk this time, and was even surrounded by three undead men, mainly because of these two bottles.

Having not eaten vegetables for more than two months, the three of them have more or less developed some minor ailments, among which the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen who is in the growth stage is the most.

These diseases are not fatal, but they are extremely uncomfortable, and symptoms of loss of strength and dizziness often occur.

“Brother, are you feeling better?” At this moment, the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen came in with a bowl of steaming black paste.

After smelling the smell of food, Dong Qing involuntarily let out a groan.

During the two days when he was in a coma, Xiaoya, who had been eating every day, fed him liquid food, not to mention a small amount, and it didn’t contain much energy. His body was repairing the wounds, and he was exhausted.

Dong Qing was no stranger to this bowl of black paste. He had eaten everything that could be eaten at home. The three of them had lived on this bowl for half a month.

A small amount of millet, sesame seeds, bark and instant noodles are added to make a pot of black paste.

In the past, Dong Qing couldn’t bear to look at it, but now he can only rely on this thing to survive.

At Dong Qing’s strong request, the last bowl of black paste was shared equally among the three.

From Xiaoya and the little girl’s expressions, Dong Qing could tell that they hadn’t eaten anything these two days.

“How many days is enough food at home?” Dong Qing asked after eating.

“If you save some food, you can last for three days.” Xiaoya said.

The food at home had been eaten up a month ago, and it was Dong Qing who risked his life to get food to keep them going until now.

It’s a pity that every time the harvest is very little, life is still tight.

They were reluctant to eat the last few packs of instant noodles, but ground them into instant noodle powder, mixed with sesame seeds and a little millet to make a black paste.

Dong Qing and Xiaoya are college students anyway, and they know that there is a layer of tissue called phloem between the bark and xylem of trees. Fortunately, there are two trees in the yard, and the bark is mainly the part of the trunk that was dug.

But it’s not yet spring, and the two trees haven’t sprouted yet, and they were dug up by Dong Qing and others, and the energy they can absorb from the bark is really limited.

Or how to say that knowledge can change destiny, without this little skill, without those tree bark support, the three of them would have starved to death a week ago.

The rest of the food at home, including the box of canned fruit and snacks, was eaten up by several people a month ago.

“I’ll go out tomorrow to find something to eat.” Dong Qing said in a deep voice.

“No.” Xiaoya hastily squeezed Dong Qing’s hand tightly. The two days Dong Qing was in a coma really frightened Xiaoya. She was too afraid that after Dong Qing went out, she would never come back.

Even the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen looked at Dong Qing eagerly, not wanting him to go out and take risks.

Patting Xiaoya’s hand to make her relax, and stroking the little girl’s head, Dong Qing sighed, “If we don’t go out, we will starve to death. I must fight.”

Xiaoya knew that Dong Qing had a stubborn temper, and she couldn’t pull back even a few cows to make a decision, so she could only say with red eyes, “I’ll go with you.”

“I’ll go too.” The little girl also joined in the fun.

“No, you are going to cause trouble, don’t worry, I have been out several times, this injury is an accident.” Dong Qing shook his head.

After finishing speaking, he took out the two bottles of medicine, took out two tablets and stuffed them into the hands of the second daughter.

“Eat them quickly, your body is too weak.” Dong Qing said.

His lack of strength was due to his injury, and the second daughter’s weakness was due to giving Dong Qing most of her food, and her nutrition could not keep up.

Under Dong Qing’s gaze, the two girls swallowed the pill.

The blackness didn’t make the two of them full at all, let alone half of it was stuffed into Dong Qing’s mouth by the two of them. The pills are not rice, but at least they can be swallowed and digested.

The calcium tablets are slightly bitter, while the vitamin tablets are slightly sweet. The two different tastes make the two girls hold it in their mouths like eating sugar, and they don’t want to swallow it for a long time.

the next afternoon.

For Dong Qing’s lunch before his departure, Xiaoya made twice the amount.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to run, not to mention that Dong Qing’s body has not fully recovered.

The heavy green leather anti-theft door was opened again. Dong Qing, dressed in casual clothes and carrying two waistcoats, one large and one small, took a deep breath and stepped out of the threshold.

“Remember the door-knocking rhythm we discussed last night, don’t open the door for strangers, understand?” Dong Qing worriedly told the second daughter.

“Yeah, I know.” The second female chick nodded like pecking at rice.

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 besides the three of them, there were some scattered people living in this area. When he first found out, Dong Qing was also happy to find the same kind.

Some of them were willing to exchange living supplies with Dong Qing and the others.

But ever since Dong Qing mistakenly brought back two people with evil intentions, and the two showed their fangs to harm Xiaoya and Zhao Zhenzhen, Dong Qing really adapted to the rules of the last days.

If you don’t mess with Dong Qing, he’s just a harmless dead house, but if anyone messes with him, Dong Qing, who is ruthless, is not a little boy who will be bullied.

Fortunately, Dong Qing reacted quickly that day, and usually, just to be on the safe side, he always hid a slender crowbar in his sleeve and suddenly resisted violently, so Xiaoya and Zhao Zhenzhen were not bullied.

Those two bastards were finally beaten to death by Dong Qing, who lost an arm and a leg respectively.

With one arm and one leg broken, Dong Qing has no idea how long these two people can live in the last days.

Even he himself didn’t realize that since some time, his temper has become a lot more tyrannical.

Xiaoya has always been his pulse door, whoever bullies Xiaoya, Dong Qing will fight him desperately.

Apart from these scattered people, there is another group of people huddling together to keep warm on the west side of their houses.

Dong Qing had never been there, but from a few people he was familiar with, he learned that the environment there was not good, women and children had no status, and sometimes they were treated as goods.

Dong Qing, who has Xiaoya and the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen to take care of, of course can’t go to that kind of place.

Resisting the stabbing pain in his back, Dong Qing half-bent, observed the surrounding situation from the bottom of the wall, and slowly moved outward.

Negative energy turned many human beings into terrifying living dead, and also changed the physique of many surviving human beings.

At least in terms of resilience, post-apocalyptic humans are more than half of pre-apocalyptic humans.

Otherwise, Dong Qing wouldn’t have suffered such a serious injury, and after only three days of recuperation, he would be able to go to the field and go out to search for food again.

Of course, it is also possible that Dong Qing has a special constitution…

In order to cover up the bloody smell emanating from the wound on his body, Dong Qing wiped his body with muddy water before leaving, so now he is completely black, and in order to hide his breath, he hid in the corner of the wall and remained still for a long time. If you don’t pay attention, you really can’t find it. There is a big living person.

Habitually, I glanced at the next room, except for a half-slumped human corpse on the ground, it was still empty.

“Did Ah Huang go out…” Dong Qing murmured, their house has never been surrounded by the living dead, a large part of the reason is that the aura of mutant beasts belonging to Ah Huang permeated the air.

Animals have a strong sense of territory, and they dare not tell from far away, but as long as the living dead are within 50 meters of this yard, they will be dealt with by Ah Huang.

That corpse was Ah Huang’s owner, Old Man Liu. The old man died on the first night of the outbreak of the apocalypse, but Ah Huang still persisted, guarding the corpse every day except going out to hunt for food.

Without Ah Huang guarding next door, Dong Qing felt a little uneasy. He decided to hurry back and get enough food for the three of them for two days, so he came back immediately.

Dong Qing’s worries, in addition to the threat from the surrounding undead, also came from the group of survivors in the west.

He was once reminded by an enthusiastic ‘scavenger’ that the gang in the west coal yard had been eyeing them for a long time.
