To take a step further towards his dream of becoming a 'great writer', Tian Yi ventured out to experience life and explore its myriad forms. However, he was forced to switch professions, ta...

Something happened at the gathering place.
Mu Hong, who was out looking for food, almost fell down when he heard the news.
It was Tianchuan who reached out to support her and called her "Mom" several times.
Mu Hong's face maintained a somewhat dazed and pale look, but she quickly regained her composure and ran quickly towards the gathering place.
I no longer wanted the basket on my back, and I didn't care whether the road ahead was smooth or not.
He rushed forward without saying a word.
Tianchuan was agile. He picked up the basketball hoop that Mu Hong dropped and ran after him.
They were originally walking back, so it didn't take them too much time to reach the gathering place.
From a distance, Mu Hong and Tian Chuan saw people walking back and forth at the gathering place.
Different than when they left.
The people walking back and forth at this time all had frightened looks on their faces.
There were also some people who had looked alive before, but now they were lying dead on the ground.
Being "cleaned up" by companions in the gathering place.
Mu Hong didn't have the time to ask what had happened. Instead, he turned around and ran towards where Wenxiu and Tianyi were.
Mu Hong was very scared.
Afraid of seeing the bodies of Wenxiu and Tianyi.
I was so scared that I couldn't stop shaking.
When he found out that there was a circle of people surrounding the place where Wenxiu and Tianyi were, his heart rose to his throat and his hands and feet became numb and cold.
She walked forward like a log, as if breathing had become a difficult thing.
until……
She pushed through the crowd.
Saw Wenxiu and Tianyi still alive.
Tianyi, who should have been asleep, lay in the basket with his eyes wide open, covered with a small quilt.
There was a bulge under the small quilt. It was obvious that it was Moore's body in Tianyi's arms.
Wenxiu stood in front of the basket, and together with Tianyi, they stared at the people surrounding the basket with their round eyes.
How could Mu Hong have the time to care why so many people gathered here?
She ran straight towards Wenxiu and Tianyi and held both children in her arms.
The feeling of panic that almost swallowed her up gradually faded away from her body.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Her child is still alive.
Nothing happened to her child.
Tianchuan, who had run all the way back, stood there in a daze and was also hugged by Mu Hong.
Tianchuan: "..."
Tianchuan felt a little embarrassed, but he still patted his mother's back who was still scared.
It took Mu Hong a long time to calm down, and she had time to pay attention to the people who had gathered here.
“This is incredible…”
“It’s amazing.”
"...I don't know what happened."
"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."
And so on were spoken by the people around.
Mu Hong followed the direction of everyone's gaze and was also shocked.
I saw a clearly strange figure lying on the ground - in a posture that was split in half.
It is said to be a shadow rather than a person.
Because this should be a human being, I can't see its appearance clearly, I just feel that it is rotten and skinny, which is frightening.
Clearly, this is a monster.
This is the first time Mu Hong has seen a "dead" monster since the monster appeared.
Can monsters be killed too?
Such doubts appeared in Mu Hong's mind.
Apparently, there was more than one adult who had the same doubt as Mu Hong.
Mu Hong, full of doubt, asked a few questions to the familiar person.
Only then did she realize that after she took Tianchuan away, a monster appeared in the gathering place.
Monsters all look like human figures.
They appeared silently in the gathering place and moved towards the living people.
Many people ran away.
There are still many people who did not escape.
The final outcome for those who did not run away is self-evident.
"It looks like they all died of suffocation." Someone nearby spoke up.
This time, the newly appeared monster didn't seem to have the habit of chasing prey, so it left on its own after killing some people.
And those who had originally escaped the disaster later ran back.
What's good about their team?
This is one of them.
At least compared to other scattered teams, they will not completely collapse after being attacked by monsters.
The people who ran back silently collected the bodies of the dead.
Being able to rest in peace and tranquility after death is a rare thing at this time.
They do this for the dead.
At the same time, I also hope that if I die at an unknown time, I can be buried after death.
While collecting the bodies, everyone discovered something special about where Wenxiu and Tianyi were.
There was actually a monster corpse lying here.
simply……
It's unbelievable.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that since the monsters appeared, no monster has been killed.
It seems as if monsters naturally chase living people and take their lives with unimaginable and irresistible power.
But there is actually a monster's corpse here?
Maybe……
"Maybe this is what the monster looks like?"
Someone on the side came up with this idea.
The moment these words were spoken, the crowd that had been surrounding them immediately dispersed.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one laughed at others' cowardice.
In the end, no one dared to move the monster's body lying on the ground.
After thinking about it, the more prestigious old man in the team ordered people to bury the monster's body on the spot.
"Even if it's a monster, it can rest in peace after being buried, right?"
With this thought in mind, people buried the monster's body with trepidation.
After burying the monster's corpse, the gathering place was moved elsewhere.
…
People are very secretive about the monster's corpse.
But after the crowd dispersed, Wenxiu said to Muhong and Tianchuan, who were still trembling with fear, "My brother killed the monster."
The monster was killed by my younger brother.
These words left Mu Hong and Tian Chuan unable to react at once.
After reacting, Mu Hong subconsciously looked around.
After making sure that there was no one around and that the people who were still alive didn't have much time to care about others, he said to Wenxiu, "What did you just say? Don't talk nonsense."
Wenxiu shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything nonsense. It was my brother who killed him. I saw it with my own eyes."
After saying that, Wenxiu's gaze swept across Mu Hong's serious face and Tianchuan's astonished face.
"Mother, brother, don't you believe what I said?"
Mu Hong raised her hand and covered Wen Xiu's head, "Mother believes what you said, but this matter cannot be known to others."
It is ridiculous to believe that a "baby" can kill monsters.
No matter who comes, it's impossible to believe it.
But when I thought that this baby might be Tianyi...
Mu Hong thought of the various peculiarities that Tianyi had before he was born, and she felt...
Maybe it's possible?
But no matter whether this is true or not.
Mu Hong was more concerned about how to protect Tianyi.
After all, Tianyi is still so young.
Considering the mental state of people in the now-blocked "plague areas".
The living people here are capable of doing anything.
Even though the team she was in seemed to be doing well, the people in the team were also very nervous and could break down at any time.
Wenxiu saw Mu Hong's worry.
Although they are not very old, Wenxiu and Tianchuan are both very sensible.
So Wenxiu nodded obediently, "I won't let anyone know."
Wenxiu also wants to protect her brother, so she won't let anyone else know about this.
This is the end of the discussion on this matter.
But Tianchuan was still extremely puzzled as to how Tianyi could kill a monster.
After Wenxiu said with certainty, "The monster is really dead, it just looks scary," Tianchuan and Wenxiu returned to where they had stayed before.
That is where the monster's body was buried.
Then they dug out the corpse of the monster that "just looked scary."
Wenxiu is not very afraid of the monster's corpse.
Because she saw Tianyi kill the monster with her own eyes.
Before people appeared, Wenxiu had also moved the monster's corpse.
How could she let the monster's corpse stay with Tianyi's brother?
Rather than moving the basketball hoop to the right position, it is better to throw the monster's corpse farther away.
Now that the monster's corpse was dug out again, Wenxiu and Tianchuan squatted in front of the monster's corpse, staring at it together.
They just stared...
I watched it for a very long time.
After seeing this, Tianchuan couldn't help but ask again: "How did my brother kill the monster?"
Wenxiu stretched out her hand to describe the monster's torn body, "It was cut open with a dagger like this, it looks very simple.
"Just like when cutting pork, it would be easier to cut along the grain of the meat and avoid the bones, right?"
Is that it...separate?
Tianchuan stopped talking, and Wenxiu stopped talking too.
The two children continued to stare at the monster's body.
…
The team set off again heading west.
When Tianyi woke up, he found that his brother Tianchuan had a new hobby.
It means holding a knife in your hand and swinging it in the air along a fixed line every day.
Tianyi stared for a long time and found that the way Tianchuan wielded the machete was quite familiar, just like the traces he left by cutting monsters.
Wenxiu seemed to be quite interested in Tianchuan wielding the machete. She would always watch from the side and occasionally correct him.
When Tianchuan "deviated".
Every time Wenxiu corrected him, Tianyi would look at Wenxiu.
His sister seems to have a good memory.
My elder brother Tianchuan is also very good in perseverance, patience and talent, and he can always make good "corrections" every time.
Mu Hong didn't say much about the two children's behavior.
Just prepare food for your children to eat when it's time to eat.
After the monster appeared in the gathering place, Mu Hong kept a closer eye on Tianyi.
Nowadays, even when going out to look for food, they always bring their children with them.
…
This continued for another day.
This time the team stopped at a river.
Everyone rested here and had plenty of water.
The sudden appearance of the monster affected human survival, but the fish in the river were still living leisurely.
Tianyi, lying in the basket, was placed by Mu Hong at a distance from the river.
Tianyi could see a momentary look of relaxation on people's faces.
But just when he was relaxing, the familiar monster that looked like a human figure appeared again silently.
Right under the tree next to Tianyi.
Does this monster like to stay under trees?
Tianyi thought so when he noticed the monster as soon as it appeared.
There are quite a lot of people around this time. If he takes action, it might not be good?
Little Tianyi was a little troubled.
Just as he was thinking, Tianyi found that the basket he was lying in had been picked up.
The person who lifted the basket was Tianchuan.
Tianchuan, with a pale face, sweat on his forehead and trembling body, held his breath and handed Tianyi to Wenxiu beside him.
He held a machete in his hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, brother. I will protect you."
My brother will definitely protect you.
