"Who?" Liu Zhiyuan heard the sound coming from the door and immediately became alert. Everyone immediately picked up their guns and looked around.
"Don't shoot." Chen Lili immediately said in a low voice.
"Wait, are you Chinese?" another woman's voice came from outside the door.
Soon, after the door was pushed open, everyone saw two women standing outside. One looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, like a white-collar beauty, and the other looked more like an 18 or 19-year-old college student.
Hearing the Mandarin spoken in country J on their own soil was a shocking experience for both sides.
Chen Lili couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. "I knew, I knew, the country has not abandoned us."
Xu Xuening looked at the two survivors in front of her in confusion. Not only were their faces covered with tears and snot, but their bodies were also covered in black and gray. If they moved casually, a thick layer of dust would accumulate on the ground.
Soon Liu Zhiyuan found out the identities and whereabouts of these people.
"So, you came here from Tokyo after the apocalypse?" Han Xiaoxiao looked at them in disbelief, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, keeping the same posture as a strand of hair by his ear. "Have you evolved?"
"Evolution?" Chen Lili's face turned pale when she heard the word, and she took a step back. "Are you from the Self-Defense Force?"
"What Self-Defense Force?" Monkey looked at Chen Lili curiously.
"Aren't you Chinese?" Ouyang looked hesitant, not knowing whether he should trust the person in front of him, while Chen Lili showed a look of fear.
It seems that the Self-Defense Force has made the two people in front of them extremely frightened.
Xu Xuening and the others shook their heads.
Only after confirming again that they were from the motherland did Ouyang and Chen Lili breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ever since the apocalypse, things have been 'chaos' here. First, monsters kept appearing in Kyoto, just like in the movies, with man-eating monsters everywhere. After we escaped from Kyoto one after another, we ran into each other in different places."
"Then why are you so scared when you hear the word evolution?" Xu Xuening asked curiously. In their view, being able to evolve would give them a better chance of survival in this apocalyptic world. However, it was clear that the other party didn't think so.
Ouyang and Chen Lili looked at each other, as if making a decision.
Ouyang took a deep breath, and just as she was about to let it out, she reached out her hand and said, "Give us something to eat. We've almost starved to death since we came here."
The two women wolfed down the bread and milk, and only then did their expressions finally soften and relax.
"At first, we weren't sure where to flee. But Country J is full of people, not only cannibals but also survivors. If we were even slightly exposed, we might become food."
Her casual first words made Liu Zhiyuan and Xu Xuening take a deep breath. Cannibalism, I didn't expect the situation here to be so serious.
"How could the situation here be so dire?" Xu Xuening was somewhat incredulous. Six months after the apocalypse, there were still many places where food could be found, even wild vegetables, and sometimes a good amount could be collected. But the situation here seemed very serious.
When it comes to food, it is probably a topic that everyone has something in common.
"Originally, there was plenty of food, but the edible food is becoming less and less." Ouyang sighed. "We only discovered this a month later. After escaping from Kyoto, we slowly moved here. On the one hand, the population here is relatively small, so it's safer. On the other hand, there's more food here. But we later discovered that a lot of the food here has mutated. Many vegetables and fruits are from the locals' homes, so we tried our best to steal some to eat. But later, the food either started to mold or turned strange."
"Yes, those mutated plants are too dangerous and can eat bad people." Chen Lili nodded immediately.
"Then what do you eat?" Xu Xuening asked curiously.
"We ate the sacrificial offerings. There were many temples and churches along the way. However, we mainly went to the temples to get the offerings. Sometimes we had some snacks, and most of the time we just relied on a piece of candy to get through the day." Chen Lili recalled, and lamented that it was not easy for them to find even a piece of candy now.
"The reason we were on guard against you just now was because of the evolutions you mentioned. Many local people who ate those mutated foods turned into monsters. At first, they said it was evolution, but later... In short, we didn't dare to eat those things." Ouyang explained briefly.
"Are you saying that the food caused them to evolve?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at the two women in front of him. "Why didn't you eat it?"
"When you came here, did you see those piles of corpses, the charred ones?" Ouyang asked.
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, and the others felt nauseous when they thought of hitting the corpses passing by.
Seeing their reactions, Ouyang knew they must have seen it before. "Those are humans who have eaten mutated food."
Without waiting for Ouyang to explain, Chen Lili hurriedly said, "It's not just the mutated humans, there are also some monsters and non-mutated ones. In short, humans are not allowed to survive in this area. They are shooting humans."
"Who is shooting?" Liu Zhiyuan asked immediately.
