Chapter 94 Deterioration
"Then what?"
"Then, the corridors of the entire building were filled with human bodies, bleeding and oozing pus, starting from the head, feet, and fingers, and spreading to the torso little by little. Those people lay on the ground as if they were asleep, unconscious, until their entire bodies turned into a pool of blood."
"What about you and Xie Lei?"
"We both fell into a coma not long after that. We wanted to pack up and leave, but we fainted before we could. When we woke up, we were back in the village."
After Jiang Shang said the last sentence, his eyes were still a little dazed. That scene was simply a nightmare to him. Thinking back on it now, he felt it was terribly unreal.
"What do those people look like?" Jiang Rong asked, but he already had the answer in his mind.
"They were a group of guys with human heads and beast bodies." Xie Lei continued. Even now, when he recalled the appearance of that group of people, he still couldn't help but feel surprised.
Is he still a human being if he looks like that?

After they had a general understanding of the situation, Jiang Rong and Zhao Caier returned home together.
When he reached the gate, Jiang Rong had an idea.
"Cai'er, come back home with me. I forgot to give you something."
She stockpiled these things before the end of the world, and she just remembered them now.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Caier turned around and followed Jiang Rong back to the Jiang family with a smile.
"What is that, Rongrong?"
After Jiang Rong closed the door of his house, he took out a large white sack from the space. Not long after the sack was taken out, Zhao Caier smelled a familiar smell.
She took a deep breath, revealed a contented expression, narrowed her eyes, and felt extremely happy just imagining what was in the sack.
"I have a lot of durian that you like in my space. You can have as much as you want. It's just that I didn't think about it for a while because there are too many things stored in my space." Jiang Rong touched the tip of his nose, feeling that what he said was quite rich.
Zhao Caier nodded quickly, and then with a look of excitement, she slapped Jiang Rong on the face fiercely: "Wow, I love you so much, Rongrong. Durian is my favorite! I thought I would never be able to eat it in this lifetime."
Jiang Rong wiped her face with her hand as usual. She was used to Cai'er's sudden attacks.
Who told Zhao Caier to express her excitement by giving people a slap every day...
Fortunately, she is not like this to everyone.
Zhao Caier was so happy that she was about to open two big durians to taste them on the spot, but was ruthlessly sent back home by Jiang Rong.
After Zhao Caier happily left with her big durian, Jiang Rong went to his grandmother's room.
At this moment, Qi Hao was practicing with his eyes closed in the room, Jiang Suan was lying on the bed reading a comic book with relish, and grandma was making dumplings.
Pork and tofu filling.
When Jiang Rong went out, he had already chopped the pork and tofu, mixed them with scallion oil, salt and chili powder, and then placed a folding table that was 1.2 meters long and 70 centimeters wide in the room. The dumpling wrappers were ready-made, round and thin, and medium in size.
It can also be considered as a way to kill time for grandma.
When Jiang Rong came back, half of the table was already filled with dumplings, five rows of about ten dumplings each, with plastic wrap underneath.
If it were usual, this would definitely be enough for the four of them to eat, but now there are two more psychics in the house, and their consumption is high. If they want to be full, they need at least twice the amount.
Jiang Rong changed his shoes at the door, went into the bathroom to wash his hands, and after coming out, he started to wrap the things with his grandmother. With her joining in, the process went much faster.
"How are those little kids? Are they all okay?" Grandma Jiang asked while making dumplings.
"Well, it's almost done."
After hearing this, Grandma Jiang nodded and didn't say anything else. She continued to wrap the dumplings in her hand. Although her movements were slow, she was very careful.
In the room, Qi Hao opened his eyes the moment he heard Jiang Rong's voice and climbed down from the bed. Jiang Suan also threw his new comic book aside, and the two of them walked to Jiang Rong one after the other.
"Sis, when will you take us out to fight mutant beasts again?"
Jiang Suan and Qi Hao were taken out by Jiang Rong to do duty together three days ago. On the way, they encountered a giant snow rabbit. They didn't use any psychics, but relied on the longbows that Jiang Rong customized before the end of the world to shoot the snow rabbit.
Among them, Jiang Suan was the most miserable among the three. He was directly knocked away by the giant moon rabbit. Fortunately, there was snow on the ground, so he didn't fall too hard.
But ever since he went out last time, he has been longing to go again.
Jiang Rong guessed that it was because he stayed at home for too long.
"Your sister Cai'er and brother Xin Jue will be on duty in a few days. Go find them to take you. If Xiao Hao wants to go too, he can come along."
Jiang Rong felt that it was a good thing to let the two children exercise more. Besides, with Cai'er and Xin Jue's strength, she didn't have to worry about anything.
After about ten minutes more, about a hundred plump white pork and tofu dumplings were ready. Jiang Rong put them in three new iron basins, and he and Jiang Suan Qi Hao each took a basin downstairs. Then they boiled the water and put the dumplings in the pot.
After the two younger ones helped carry the things downstairs, they returned to the room and carefully helped grandma down.
Grandma Jiang was thinking about her eldest granddaughter who was busy cooking dumplings downstairs, and looking at the two little ones moving and quiet around her, she felt so happy.
Thinking again about her fourth son and his family whom she had let in before, she sighed again.
Jiang Rong cooked about a hundred dumplings four times in total. The dumpling skins tend to clump together if left for too long, so she cooked and ate them at the same time. There was an electric induction cooker in the middle of the table, which was very convenient to turn on and off.
In addition, she also washed a handful of vegetables and placed them on the table for people to eat with the sauce.
The dumpling skin is very thin, and because we eat it so quickly, the dough doesn’t have time to crunch, so it has a chewy texture. The dumpling filling is filled with the mixed aroma of meat and onions, and with the neutralization of white tofu, it is not too hard and melts in your mouth.
The dumplings are hot when they are just out of the pot, but they are really delicious. When you take a bite, the soup in the filling explodes in your mouth, filling the air with a fresh and fragrant aroma.
Jiang Rong quickly finished a bowl of dumplings, her eyes slightly narrowed with pleasure. She also felt that her cooking skills had improved a lot.
People with ginger and garlic have small stomachs, and they are not in the growth stage yet, so they feel full after eating two bowls and can only watch the plump white dumplings boiling and flipping in the pot.
Qi Hao ate five bowls in a row before he put down the small porcelain bowl with a feeling of being unsatisfied, then burped with an expressionless face.
Grandma Jiang ate about ten dumplings. For an old woman of her age, ten dumplings are already a lot. If she ate more, she would feel uncomfortable in her stomach at night.
There were a dozen more dumplings in the iron basin at the side. Jiang Rong poured them all into the pot. After they were cooked, they were scooped into three small bowls and sent into the space.
There are about six pieces in a bowl, so it is impossible to be full, but it can be given to Qin Sang and the others to try.
The three people in the space looked at the extra bowls and chopsticks that suddenly appeared in front of them, and they knew that Jiang Rong was here to feed them again.
Lingyu reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks and began to enjoy the food happily.
Although Jiang Rong hasn't entered the space much recently, every time she cooks, she basically makes a little extra and sends it into the space.
The portions were not large, just for the three people in the space to have a taste. Jiang Rong felt that it was quite boring for them to stay in the space all the time.
*
One month later.
Jiang Rong's supernatural power broke through the third level.
During this period, the collection team in the village went out in batches three times. However, every time they went out and came back, there would be casualties in the team. So far, all the superpowers in the village have only thirty-five in total.
In addition, as the number of people with special abilities gradually decreased, ordinary people in the village also gradually participated in the collection team's collection mission. The people with special abilities were mainly responsible for protection, while ordinary people were responsible for labor and logistics.
After three times, the number of ordinary people in the village has been reduced to a certain extent.
During these three trips, what they brought back was less and less.
The members of the collection team who returned recently also brought back some rather bad news.
People in the county town have fallen on a large scale.
Now the whole county is filled with a strong smell of blood. People far away from the county can see the thick and lingering smell of blood floating in the air.
Not only the humans, but even the mutant beasts in the city could not escape the fate of being turned into corpse water.
This is also one of the reasons why the collection teams brought back less and less supplies.
Many places in the county have now become forbidden areas and no one dares to go there.
Ordinary people cannot see anything unusual in those places, nor can they feel anything, but once they step in, there is almost always only one result.
That is, death.
The three forces in the county, Light, Skeleton, and Ice, have now merged into one, secluded in a corner, and built a temporary medium-sized base.
This temporary base can be moved at any time as that "thing" approaches.
In short, people in the county town are now almost miserable.
Not only do you have to deal with mutant beasts and avoid the daytime sunlight, but you also have to guard against the approach of strange pollution.
The key is that there is no pattern or foreshadowing to the appearance of the 'thing'.
In addition, there are those guys with human heads and animal bodies.
Their names have become a feared existence in the county.
Wherever they appear, it will become a restricted area.
In short, remote areas like Qingshan Village have now become safer places.
Basically, it has not been harmed by that kind of evil polluting energy.
However, that was only before. The collection team that returned this time said that everyone in a small village not far from them had been killed three days ago.
No one in the entire village was spared.
A team of psychics accidentally broke in, brought out the news, and died not long after.
A complete death.
Before the day was up, it turned into a pool of corpse water.
All of a sudden, people in several surrounding villages were in an uproar, and everyone was in a panic.
It feels like there is a knife hanging over your head, ready to chop you down at any time. Everyone lives in fear every day, not knowing which village will be the unlucky one next time.

Jiang Rong had just upgraded his supernatural power when he was pulled out by Zhao Caier and taken to the village meeting room.
The meeting room was where the village cadres used to work. In addition to the thirty or so people with special abilities in the village, there were also some ordinary people who had a say in the village.
When Zhao Caier came, she had already told Jiang Rong about the current situation.
She hadn't been out of the house for nearly half a month in order to break through the bottleneck of the third level. As soon as she came out just now, Cai'er told her a lot of information and then pulled her over.
