Chapter 2 Forgotten Village

Hunger was close to death, Hua Yang swallowed his saliva, and his already empty stomach became empty now. He walked towards the village in his memory in his memory with the wind. Desolation and loneliness lingered in his heart, fear grew wildly under hunger, constantly swallowing the already insufficient courage, and his pace of progress became smaller and smaller, and he became less and less powerless.

Turning over the bare foot of the mountain, Hua Yang sat on the ground with a crossbow in his arms. After walking for a long time, he didn't see anyone. Along the way, except for the bare stone mountain, there were loess floating everywhere. He wanted to eat grass bark, but he didn't even see some green vegetation. He looked at the sun at noon and licked his dry lips. There was still a long way to go from the village.

The nose smelled a nauseating stench. Hua Yang immediately pulled the crossbow strings and pressed the crossbow arrow to guard the surroundings. Two boys ran away in the distance. A swift red shadow followed behind them. The wolfdog infected with the virus completely turned into beasts, and her hair fell off and exposed bright red flesh. Her feet ran wildly on the ground, cracking her mouth and revealing sharp teeth.

"Sun!" Hua Yang pulled the crossbow bow and shot the crossbow arrow. The volatile mutant dog was aware of the danger and his pace accelerated. The crossbow arrow that should have been shot on the dog's head was nailed to the mutant dog's back. The sharp triangular arrow penetrated the mutant dog's back, and the running mutant dog rolled to the ground and made a series of wailings.

The running child looked back and saw both of them stopping. The seven or eight-year-old face had a maturity beyond the age. There was no panic in his big eyes, which were clearly black and white. He took out two rebar tubes from his back with a long head, and twisted them together into a steel gun that was more than two meters long with his hands.

The short-haired man held a wooden shield in his left hand and a dog-legged knife in his right hand. He grinned at Hua Yang, revealing his gums with his front teeth: "We attract it, you continue to ejaculate."

Hua Yang murmured as he watched the two half-old children blocking him, the mutant dog who fell to the ground got up again, grinned and roared, and arrows shot the dog's ribs. Its speed slowed down and its posture became weird.

The short-haired boy stood in front, watching the mutant dog pounce on him, hiding behind the wooden shield, bang! The impact force knocked the boy away, and the long-haired boy immediately filled his position. The oblique steel pipe in his hand stabbed forward and inserted it into the dog's mouth.

It's now! Hua Yang pulled the crossbow bow, and the arrow cluster roared and shot towards the mutant dog's head. The mutant dog seemed to have a keen prediction of danger. On one side of his head, the arrow cluster penetrated the dog's neck, and the steel pipe was tilted to the side. The mutant dog rushed towards the boy with a long hair.

"No!" Hua Yang cried out with grief, and at this moment he was extremely guilty of himself. He was not hit by the long-haired boy. He blamed himself for seeing a black shadow flying out of his pupils, and the wooden shield was stuffed into the mutant dog's sharp mouth. His canine teeth were intertwined, and the thick wooden shield was bitten to pieces. The short-haired boy held the dog's leg knife in both hands, and slashed the mutant dog's neck from top to bottom.

Puff! One knife broke twice. The dog's head rolled on the ground for a few times. The short-haired boy was panting. The knife used all his strength. The long-haired boy widened his eyes and passed by the god of death. The two looked at each other, and his muscles trembled and showed a smile.

Hua Yang stood aside and was at a loss. Facing the two children, Hua Yang was upset: "I just used this, but I couldn't beat it."

The short-haired boy waved his dog's leg knife and chopped the dog's head on the ground. He split the dog's head with two knifes, picked out the marrow stone inside and threw it to Hua Yang and said, "I know you are not familiar with it yet. If you don't have the first arrow, we will all become this dog's lunch. This is given to you as a reward."

Hua Yang took the mutant dog's marrow stone, and Opp's voice sounded in his ears: "I found that the mutant beast marrow stone has an energy of ten times that of human marrow stone, and the task completion degree is 11/50,000."

Hua Yang was shocked. People are worse than dogs these days. He asked the boy with short hair: "What are the uses of marrow stones?"

The long-haired boy said first: "Mysterite is an object used by human evolutionists to evolve their abilities. In this collapsed world, it is a hard currency known as gold and food." He said, looking at Hua Yang and asked, "What's your name? Which gathering place do you belong to?" Although the long-haired boy looked childish, his tone was mature beyond his age.

In the eyes of the two children, Hua Yang was dressed cleanly and appropriately, with delicate and fair skin, and her hair was still trimmed. He was holding a brand new crossbow in his hand, and when he got close, he could still smell the smell of lavender on Hua Yang. He must have been from a big force. Unlike other survivors, the dirty and smelly body was full of odor, and the hair was glued together like dry grass.

"My name is Hua Yang!" He said, smiling with his teeth, and his mouth was white. "I don't belong to the gathering place here. My home is far away." He said, feeling sad and sniffed and asked, "What are your names? Which gathering place belongs to?"

"My name is Lu Nan." The long-haired person pointed at the short hair and said, "His name is Lu Zheng. Our gathering place is on this earthen mountain." As he said that, the three people's stomachs were roaring at the same time.

Lu Zheng looked at Hua Yang and said, "Brother Hua, why don't you go to our gathering place too! Grandpa still has a few hard-dough cakes to satisfy your hunger first." Hua Yang nodded. The hard-dough cakes in hunger were also delicious. Thinking of the batter, the drool was flowing even more.

Walking up the loess slope, Hua Yang asked casually: "What month is it today? When did the virus break out?"

Hua Yang's question made Lu Nan's eyes flash with pain, as if he was thinking of something terrifying again, and said in a trembling voice: "It should be March now, and I can't remember exactly what date it is." He said, and kicked a piece of soil on the side of the road: "Four months ago, all poultry and beasts mutated, and those who were injured by animals turned into things that were neither human nor ghost."

Hua Yang muttered, Lu Nan said the same thing as Opp, was everything true? Seeing that there was no trace of grass green in the entire mountain, Hua Yang couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you see vegetation along the way?"

Lu Nan said: "Everything can be eaten has been eaten." As he said that, he licked the corner of his mouth: "Whether it is grassroots or tree bark."

Continue up the soil slope, Hua Yang saw a fence made of logs. On the inside of the fence was a seven or eight-meter-high tree trunk. A hanging basket was nailed to it. There was a person in the hanging basket holding a telescope to observe the surroundings. Hua Yang squinted his eyes and saw a cow horn hanging around his neck.

Lu Nan said: "He is Uncle Pan. He can't find food without legs, so he stays on it every day for everyone."

There was an iron gate in the log fence. Lu Zheng knocked on the iron gate, three long and two short, and the iron gate was wide open. An old man with white hair and beard was carrying a thick back and chopping a mountain knife. The blue veins on his arm burst out. He looked at Lu Nan with a kind smile, and then looked at Hua Yang, aiming at the crossbow in Hua Yang's hand and his eyes were full of vigilance.

"Friend! Forgotten village lacks food and clothing, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. If you have other ideas, I advise you to change places." Then he pulled Lu Zheng and Lu Nan in.

"The old, weak, sick and disabled?" Hua Yang was puzzled: "Where did the young and strong go?"

"The young and brave went to a place with food." After the old man said that, Lu Zheng took his hand: "Brother Hua Yang is a good person, and he helped us kill the mutant dog."

The old man looked shocked: "Did you kill the mutant dog?" Looking at the two grandchildren, the old man's eyes looked obviously different at Hua Yang. Animals infected with virus-mutated have multiple lethality than humans. People who can kill mutant dogs are sure to be masters, and the masters naturally look down on the property in the gathering place. The old man took a step back and hung his knife on his waist: "Friends welcome you to the Forgotten Village. Thank you for saving my two grandchildren."

Hua Yang's face turned red inexplicably. He didn't kill the mutant dog. Without Lu Zheng and Lu Nan, Hua Yang might have died under the mutant dog's mouth.

Hua Yang did not explain, and followed the old man into the wooden fence. There were nine tattered tents on the yellow soil. The entire gathering ground was filled with debris, one in the east and one in the west, and it seemed like a large garbage pile. Hua Yang raised his foot and kicked open an iron can in front of him. The can was rolling on the ground, jingling, and there were about a dozen yellow-faced old men, with disheveled clothes and exposed their flat belly. There were ribs floating under the skin, with dark purple faces, deep eyes, chapped lips, and lying on the ground with weak energy to bask in the sun.

A man lying on the ground said to the old man: "Lu Heping, if we can't find anything to eat, we will starve to death! You won't wait until we all starve to death before throwing us into the pot to cook soup, right?"

Lu Heping looked at the ribs of the man on the ground and said, "Old man, I can't guarantee it! If I really can't find something to eat, I'll take you to the pot." As he said, he said to Hua Yang, "If you can't find something to eat, someone will die in the past two days." The wind was howling in the camp, and it seemed that there was a god of death carrying a sickle in the sky.

Hua Yang squatted in front of the old man and looked at the turbid eyes: "You can eat, don't worry!" Hua Yang sniffed his nose, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyebrows. What a weird thing! Why are other old men smelling smelly, and this old man doesn't smell at all?

Lu Heping pulled Hua Yang up and said, "His name is Long Wangtian, and he is the chief technician of Meike Group. He came here to pick herbs and develop some deodorant. As a result, the virus broke out and the person was trapped here."

"Deodorant?" Hua Yang looked at Long Wangtian and found a trace of gleam flashing in his turbid eyes. He said in a dry voice: "I have successfully developed the deodorant. No matter if you have odor of feet, body odor, bad breath, or body odor. As long as you sprinkle the medicine powder, the smell will immediately be refreshed!" Long Wangtian looked at Hua Yang excitedly: "Give me a steamed bun and I will give you the recipe!"

Touching the crossbow in his hand, looking at the skinny old man, who was as old as his grandfather, could not enjoy his old age, but lived in panic, and could not even have enough food and clothing. Hua Yang's empty stomach became a little blocked. He smelled the dead air in the camp and looked at the food on the survivor's face, Hua Yang whispered: "Where can I get food?"

Lu Heping looked at Hua Yang in confusion: "You want to help us?" Seeing that Hua Yang did not nod, Lu Heping quickly said: "I have no gold and silver utensils here, nor do I have young and strong laborers. The youngest is fifty years old and the combat power is not as good as that of young and strong. The children are still young, and the oldest is only ten years old."

Hua Yang said, "I need a guide, it would be better if you can provide staff." Hua Yang said, and after thinking, "I can provide you with helmets and protective clothing. After getting the food, we will open it, or you can use marrow stones to exchange for food."

"Helmet and protective suit!" Lu Heping's eyes couldn't help but lit up. When fighting with a monster infected with virus, as long as he is scratched or bitten, he will become an immortal zombie. Without relative protection, humans are fragile. Now Hua Yang can provide protective suits, which greatly increases the chance of survival.

"Trade!" Lu Heping looked at Hua Yang and asked tentatively: "Can I have twenty people and eight children here? Do you have twenty sets of protective clothing?"

Looking at Lu Heping's eyes, Hua Yang pointed his head: "Yes!" There were a thousand sets of protective clothing and twenty sets of drizzle in the carriage.

Lu Heping's eyes lit up and said to Hua Yang: "Seven or eight miles north, it is the service station of the Highway Bureau. They are responsible for maintaining the highway and unblocking traffic. In order to deal with the congestion caused by the accident, they have a large warehouse with large amounts of emergency food." Lu Heping said as he licked his lips with his tongue and continued: "There are about forty or fifty zombies inside, and there is a mutant dog entrenched."

"That dog has been killed by Brother Hua." Lu Nan continued: "If the emergency food in the service station is well preserved, as long as we kill all the zombies, those foods are enough for us to eat for a while."

Hua Yang pointed his head and said, "Just hit there, forty or fifty zombies that move slowly, they are just living targets!" As he said that, his chest was raised, full of confidence.

Lu Zheng and Lu Nan stood up, took Lu Heping's hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go!"

Lu Heping looked at the crossbow in Hua Yang's hand and felt that there was great potential. He pointed his head: "Okay! Just hit the service station!" As he said that, he looked at his two grandsons: "Lu Nan and Lu Zheng stayed."

Lu Nan looked happy, Lu Zheng was full of aggrievance, and looked at Lu Heping and asked, "Grandpa, why?"
