Chapter 48 There is a boy
Qin Zhiyu and Xiaolan ate and drank their fill and prepared to set off.
After crossing this forest, they were about to reach the villa where Qin Zhiyu had lived before.
From this angle, the hilltop of the villa is not very obvious.
Various shelters could be vaguely seen rising from the ground in front of him. Qin Zhiyu had no choice but to use a compass to point out the approximate direction and continue forward with Xiaolan relying on his feeling.
Although there were no traces of human construction on the road, Qin Zhiyu saw a number of shelters on the opposite side from a distance. This was a new era, an era of natural disasters.
These shelters have also begun to take shape, with rows of small wooden houses as common as the residential houses of the past.
"Master, there are so many shelters, it looks so lively!" Xiao Lan said excitedly.
"Yes, there must be a lot of people here with so many shelters." Qin Zhiyu said with a smile.
As they got closer to the shelter, Qin Zhiyu was not riding his bicycle at this time.
This was too conspicuous, so she took out her backpack and walked.
Before, it was because it was in the wilderness, but now there are many shelters and more people. Maybe families have set up shelters in groups.
She's riding her bike around here, and it would be embarrassing if people got jealous and tried to frame her.
Qin Zhiyu took Xiaolan on foot towards the inner circle of the shelter. She avoided those shelters that seemed to be almost face to face.
Walking from the edge towards the villa area, you can see that the shelters are all small wooden houses, just like Qin Zhiyu’s original shelter before.
There wasn't a single first-level stone shelter in the shelters before me.
While observing, Qin Zhiyu was gently licked by Xiaolan, and a quarrel came to his ears.
"Old dog Yu, this is the prey I caught. Do you have any shame?" Wang Zi grabbed Yu Peng and said.
"Of course the rabbit I caught belongs to me. Take your dirty hands off me and don't block my way!" Yu Peng said disdainfully.
After saying that, Yu Peng turned around and grabbed Wang Zi's wrist, easily releasing his force.
Wang Zi's eyebrows were instantly wrinkled together, and he groaned on the spot while holding his painful wrist. He glanced up at Yu Peng from the corner of his eyes, and there was visible resentment in his eyes.
Yu Peng didn't even look at Wang Zi. He turned around and left with the rabbit in his hand, not taking Wang Zi's resentment to heart at all.
For him, what good is resentment? He is not as skilled as others in the face of natural disasters. If he does not improve himself, he can only pray and wait for others to give him alms.
"Don't go!" Wang Zi couldn't help but feel even more resentful as he watched Yu Peng leave without even turning back. He quickly stood up and strode after Yu Peng.
"Master, they are so stupid that they didn't even notice us." Xiao Lan said proudly after watching this scene.
"Xiao Lan, they think this location is hidden, so they feel so confident in pulling and tugging here." Qin Zhiyu explained.
She rubbed the cat, and when two passersby started arguing, Xiaolan jumped on her silently.
As expected, when people gather to place shelters, the per capita resource ownership will decrease a lot. Even the right to get a rabbit weighing five or six kilograms can instantly ignite hatred.
"Come out, kid." Qin Zhiyu didn't want to pretend not to see it anymore, so he turned around and said to the little boy who was peeking out from the right side of the wooden shelter.
"Meow~ Master, I smell the scent of dried fish. This child brought them."
Xiao Lan licked his paw and said, but his voice was only audible to Qin Zhiyu.
"Aren't you coming out yet?" Qin Zhiyu threw a dart with his backhand, which hit the wooden house accurately.
"Ah! I'm coming out, I'm coming out, beautiful sister, don't kill me!" Wu Meng'en looked at Qin Zhiyu in horror and said with a trembling voice.
The dart was only ten centimeters away from his head. If it had deviated a little, it would have hit his ear directly. It was so scary. Why was such a beautiful girl so scary?
"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, you'll get a reward." Qin Zhiyu said without further hesitation when he saw the child come out.
"You, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know." Wu Meng'en nodded quickly and replied, fearing that the dart would fly out again if he disagreed with him.
"What's your name?" Qin Zhiyu asked.
"My name is Wu Meng'en, and I'm in the first grade of junior high school! There are three people in my family!" Qin Zhiyu just opened his mouth, and Wu Meng'en said it all in one go like pouring beans, not even daring to look up at Qin Zhiyu.
"When did so many shelters appear in this area?" Qin Zhiyu asked.
"The number has been increasing. After the natural disaster, the surrounding communities disappeared. Those who refused to leave the building were trapped in the building and melted. Some people turned into monsters!" Wu Meng'en said hurriedly.
Whenever Wu Meng'en thought about the day when the natural disaster struck, he felt shrouded in fear. That was truly the most terrifying memory in his life.
When the building began to disappear, he thought he was hallucinating or it was a mirage.
But when the people around him, classmates, teachers, relatives and friends saw this shocking scene, Wu Meng'en felt that it was not fake.
There are also those half-melted, half-unmelted monsters that run around everywhere after escaping, pouncing on anyone they see. Anyone they touch will instantly be infected and become that unlucky person.
Before the natural disaster, he was just a junior high school student and had never seen such a scary thing.
Even after the natural disaster, although the days were not as good as before the disaster with the protection of my parents, we gathered in the shelter on Dark Day and didn't see anything scary. It was just a little dark, and at least we could eat our fill.
It was just a long-term atmosphere of fear, and vague rumors from my parents that there were bandits burning, killing, and looting nearby.
So Qin Zhiyu's move was like a fuse, and his psychology was instantly defeated. Wu Meng'en felt fear and said everything.
"Are there any local tyrants in the waterfront area? Or people who are particularly powerful." Qin Zhiyu added, fearing that Wu Meng'en wouldn't understand.
"I, I don't know." Wu Meng'en thought for a while before answering.
I was worried that if I answered that I didn't know, Qin Zhiyu would get angry, but he really didn't know.
"Well, lead the way for me and I'll let you go when we get there." Qin Zhiyu said.
She threw two chicken rice balls to Wu Meng'en. She didn't want to bully the child, and it was boring to see him so nervous.
Wu Meng'en took Qin Zhiyu to the villa area before the natural disaster, walking through the wooden shelters and not encountering a single stone shelter.
With so many shelters crowded together, haven't they thought about the issue of survival?
When competing for resources with each other, it is probably common to fight and get bloody, Qin Zhiyu thought as he looked at the shelter in front of him.
There were only scattered weeds around the shelter, and they were very short, no longer growing wildly as they had during the natural disaster. Not even the shadow of a tree could be seen.
These wooden shelters are so close together that they will probably not be able to survive the high temperature disaster.
