Chapter 2 Apple: Return to Ah Shu's nest.
I don’t know if running away will anger the snake woman.
But how do you know where her red line is if you don’t try?
Although Xinxue was hungry every day, she was unwilling to become a snake's reserve...
Food? Or playthings?
She couldn't clearly explain what her current position was.
After observing the surrounding environment, Xinxue felt a little more at ease.
This place used to be a huge vegetable market with many twists and turns. If she twisted the pillars desperately, she would probably be able to twist the snake girl into a dough stick.
Xinxue tentatively walked out for more than ten meters, and when she saw that the snake girl didn't follow her, she took bigger steps.
She felt the thrill of playing cat and mouse, even though this thrill came at the cost of her life.
suddenly.
Xinxue heard the sound of the wind approaching and a slight panting sound right behind her.
Did the snake get angry when it saw its prey escape?
Xinxue stopped and her whole body stiffened.
He kept his back to me and clenched his fingers.
The towering shadow fell on her, completely blocking out the faint light reflected from the broken glass.
The snake woman's voice came from above, a little hoarse, and different from the voice in her ear just now.
"She just gave birth to a litter, which should be enough for you to eat..."
"Huh?" Xinxue slowly turned around and saw a scene that made her scalp tingle.
At some point, Ah Shu transformed into a snake-like form that was more convenient for hunting.
In the mouth of the snake, which was so huge that it could probably swallow her whole, were three or four giant pink rats.
In addition to holding grudges, the evolutionary direction of giant rats also includes body size.
Now they weigh more than 20 kilograms when they are born, which is equivalent to a strong small dog.
After the fear disappeared in an instant, Xinxue felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
I seem to be able to finally fill my stomach today...
She picked up a relatively intact piece of iron plate from the side and pretended that she had no intention of escaping: "While you were busy, I found this."
Her heart beat fast when she lied.
But in my heart I thought it was a good thing that I ran slowly, otherwise I would not be able to have this meal.
A Shu had heard a little about the fact that humans like to pick up trash.
She didn't know what it was for, but nodded in understanding.
She had never considered that the little man she had picked up might want to escape.
In Ashu's heart, Xinxue is already pregnant with her child.
That is equivalent to bearing her mark and belonging to her completely.
With his mouth occupied and unable to speak, Ah Shu continued to ask in his mind, "Xue, do you want to eat here?"
When a snake eats, it will use its body to tighten it little by little, and then open its mouth to the limit and swallow the prey in one gulp without a trace of blood.
Elegant and calm.
But she remembered that eating was quite troublesome for humans. They had to peel, debone, and cook, which took a long time.
A Shu wasn't sure if doing such a bloody thing in front of the giant rats would scare them away.
She now formed a delicate balance with this group of mice.
They come here every few days to have a snack, eat a dozen or so at a time, and then leave.
They are never killed off, so they are too lazy to move.
The giant rat was like a fish offered to the river god. Every time it cooperated with her to escape everywhere, and then sent the unlucky ones out for her to eat.
But secretly, it seems that the better evolved young mice were hidden away.
The taste of the evolved giant rat will change. Ah Shu has smelled it but never tasted it.
"Let's not eat here..."
Xinxue was also afraid that when the snake woman didn't keep a close eye on her, those giant rats would rush over to take revenge and bite off her head.
"Then let's go home!" Ah Shu's tail trembled with excitement at the thought of taking the girl home and letting her smell like herself.
Then she froze.
She was so excited that she caught four baby mice at once, which was too much for her to hold with one hand.
So now she could only hold the baby mouse in her snake mouth and could not change into human form to hug the girl.
Seeing the snake woman hissing anxiously.
Sometimes he put the baby mouse down, sometimes he picked it up again.
Xin Xue also guessed this.
She was only thinking about eating and had no intention of escaping at all.
Xinxue offered, "It's okay if I can't carry you. Can I sit on your back?"
She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
What if the snake woman's back is a restricted area, sacred and inviolable.
Isn't she asking for trouble again and seeking her own death?
Fortunately, the snake woman has not evolved this concept of honor and shame.
"That's not comfortable...you...you hold my waist."
Ah Shu changed back into human form, holding two baby mice on each side, straightened his waist and shook it, signaling Xinxue to hug his waist tightly.
Feeling the girl hanging on her body, so light that it seemed as if she had no weight, she felt very comfortable.
The giant green python returned to its nest faster than ever this time.
They were both very excited.
One was happy because he showed off his powerful hunting skills in front of the girl.
The other is simply happy because he is finally going to eat his fill.
Unlike the dark snake cave imagined, Ah Shu's lair was built in a circular gymnasium with a large open space inside, and it could get sunlight every day.
Many stadiums are built with reference to the shape of natural bird nests. For the huge snake woman, this is simply the perfect home.
There were originally two entrances and exits to the gymnasium, but Ah Shu pushed the debris over to block one of them.
Now her nest has only one door that allows her to enter and exit, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
This stadium was used for playing football before the end of the world. It is a very large space.
A Shu crawled in and stretched himself into a long strip with a lot of space, making it very comfortable to live in.
She hadn't moved anything into the house, so it remained empty.
Apart from the overgrown grass, a few apple trees that she couldn't remember whether they were planted by her or had always been there, and the white garbage that was almost completely rotten, the whole place was where she rolled around and basked in the sun.
Xinxue was so hungry that she couldn't take her eyes off the apples on the branches.
She swallowed and asked, "Can I eat that? Is it poisonous?"
Ah Shu: “Sure.”
"That's great!" Xinxue cheered and immediately asked her to take her to the branch of the fruit tree.
She picked a big red apple, wiped it on her clothes, and took one bite after another.
The apple was sweet and sour and juicy, so delicious that she squinted her eyes.
Although it is spring now, it is not the time when most apples are ripe.
But evolved plants are clearly not affected by seasons and can grow and bear fruit at any time.
After eating an apple, the burning sensation in my stomach finally eased.
Xinxue began to think about how to deal with the giant rat.
When she was riding the snake car just now, she did not forget to carry the irregular iron plate she picked up.
It works just fine now.
She looked around for a moment and licked her lips.
Pointing to the podium in the middle of the gymnasium, he looked up and said, "Sister Ah Shu, I want to go to the podium to light a fire and roast the baby mice for dinner."
Ah Shu immediately followed: "Okay, I'll go with you..."
Because the snake woman never takes care of the yard, as soon as she sees dead branches and leaves, she will just whip them to the edge with her tail.
So Xinxue easily picked up enough dead grass, as well as grass stems that had mutated to be as thick as tree branches and were particularly resistant to burning.
Before lighting the fire, she looked at the dirty iron plate and hesitated.
Xinxue looked up at the snake girl who was lying on the platform as if she had no bones, her waist almost bent into a straight line.
“Is there clean water here?”
A Shu knew that he couldn't help because of his big body, so he just watched the scene of Xinxue working as if it were TV.
The warm sunlight just now fell on her body, and she almost fell asleep.
Hearing this, she instantly perked up: "Outside... I'll take you there."
Before Xinxue could react, she was picked up by the snake woman, her body was tightly clamped, and her legs were hanging freely in the air.
Just now when they were hurrying on the road, she was not nervous at all even though they were so close.
At this moment, with her face pressed against the cold scales on the snake woman's chest, Xinxue was actually a little shy.
In order to dispel the shame, Xinxue took the initiative to climb onto the snake girl's neck.
"Let's find a bucket and try to get as much water as possible."
"No need, there's some by the river." Ashu said concisely, picked up the girl and rushed out.
After a while, they arrived at their destination.
This is a few kilometers downstream from the nearest water source.
Bottles, basins, buckets, bowls and chopsticks of all sizes were scattered all over the floor.
Based on the deep tire tracks and other signs of past human life on the ground, Xinxue had some vague guesses.
Perhaps a small team had taken a short break here, and the huge snake suddenly appeared silently, keeping a close eye on their movements.
The entire team was terrified and fled in panic.
I didn't even have time to bring food.
If you are traveling by yourself, you must bring your own dishes and chopsticks.
These all look very new, and most of them are made of iron, which is not easy to get in the apocalypse.
Now it’s a good deal for me.
Xinxue glanced at Ah Shu and didn't realize that fear was no longer the only emotion in her eyes as she looked at the intimidating figure.
Xin Xue: "These things are all good. I'll pick out what I'll need for dinner first. We'll move on to other things after dinner."
Her illness made her digestive system particularly strong.
The apple, which was as big as two fists put together, was almost digested in a short time, and he began to crave the meat piled on the podium.
Ah Shu put his tail into the river and let it wash freely, his eyes fixed on the girl's movements.
Xinxue first found a paint bucket with a handle, washed it in the river, and filled it with water.
Then he dug out an iron basin with a hole in it and put all the washed dishes scattered on the ground into it.
Suddenly, she happily waved the thing in her hand towards Ah Shu: "There's a fruit knife! That's great!"
The sunlight shines on the blade, reflecting a bright light.
Bad memories came to mind. There were humans who had hurt themselves with this thing before.
Ah Shu subconsciously swung his tail and the knife fell into the water.
"Ah? How can I peel the rat skin without this?" Xinxue didn't expect her reaction to be so big. She knelt by the river and fished twice, but couldn't reach it.
Thinking about not having enough to eat, her tears couldn't be controlled and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Ah Shu realized that it was impossible for him to be hurt by such a knife again, and he began to regret his previous reaction.
"Don't...don't cry...I'll go find her, I'll go find her..."
The snake woman dived into the water with her upper body, opened her eyes, pushed aside the underwater weeds that were like a net, and frantically searched for the knife.
She is not a water snake, so the time she can hold her breath underwater is limited. She has to go ashore to breathe after a while, and this is always accompanied by violent coughing.
Xinxue didn't expect to see the snake girl in such a miserable and pitiful state.
She calmed down and rubbed her eyes: "Think of other ways to peel the skin. I don't want it anymore, sister. I don't want that knife anymore..."
But Snake's stubbornness came over her.
She couldn't hear anything the girl said now. The only thought in her mind was "find the knife and make Xinxue stop crying."
I don’t know how long it took.
The snake girl finally emerged from the river, holding the unfortunate knife in her hand.
While coughing, he showed off to the new snow.
