Catastrophe.
After the sudden catastrophe, the earth was devastated, species changed, food was scarce, the living environment was bad, the era was completely destroyed, and civilization disappeared.
...
In the unplanned area 300 kilometers to the left of the Ninth Special Economic Zone, on an unnamed street, a 23-year-old young man, clasped his clothes, walked quickly.
The streets are dilapidated and ugly, and the underground sewage system was completely paralyzed many years ago. The simple outdoor toilets emit a foul smell and are connected to rows of storerooms. Lights in the entire area are rare, and a group of people can be seen standing together on the side of the road from time to time, but there are mostly women and fewer men.
A young man who walks quickly without looking squint is named Qin Yu, who is 1.82 meters tall and sturdy. He is unemployed today. He is ready to buy an official resident status of the Ninth Special Zone and complete the first step of his plan.
Qin Yu's original long eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and he was a handsome and sunny guy, but now he is dressed a bit sloppy, his beard is not shaved, his slightly longer hair is stuck together, and his clothes are full of oil stains and stains. Very inconspicuous in the crowd.
Walking fast all the way, Qin Yu raised his head and looked at the intersection, preparing to return to his residence from the left.
"Brother, brother...!"
A crisp shout sounded, and a woman in a washed, whitish dress wrapped in a coat, lightly pulled Qin Yu from the side of the road.
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment and looked back: "What are you doing?"
"Thirty yuan." The woman put up three slender fingers, looked back at the dilapidated storeroom behind her, and whispered, "Let's go there.
" Haha, can't afford to play." Qin Yu smiled and moved on.
"Wait." The woman stretched out her hand and tugged Qin Yu again: "Twenty-five, twenty-five, okay?"
Qin Yu looked back at the woman, paused for a while and continued to shake his head: "I have no money."
"Didn't you look at me?" There are still people in the room."
"I really have no money." Qin Yu shook his arm: "You let me go, I'm anxious to go home." The
woman bit her red lips, her little hand held Qin Yu tightly, and she was silent for a long time. He added softly: "Two bowls of rice are fine, but I have to use my bowl."
Qin Yu frowned, "I said no, get out of here!" The
woman still didn't let go, she looked back at the storeroom with eyesight. A group of seven or eight-year-old children said: "...I have three children. If there is no business tonight, I will not be able to support them... Brother, you can do it well, you can help me once, a bowl of rice will do, and I will give You kneel down."
Qin Yu looked at the woman and said indifferently: "How many years has the world been like this? In such an environment, without the ability to feed, what do you have?" The
woman was stunned.
Qin Yu shook off his arm vigorously, pursing his clothes and continuing to move forward.
After standing there for a while, the woman ran back to the storeroom quickly, and said breathlessly: "That person has, he has. When I pulled him, I saw what was in his arms."
...
about After half an hour.
Qin Yu returned to a dilapidated six-story building, followed the old and dusty steps, and entered his home on the fifth floor.
Only Qin Yu and his friend Xiaozhuang lived in this building. Many of the outer walls collapsed. It was a dangerous building on the verge of demolition even before. But in this era, the meaning of home is limited to where you are, and has nothing to do with where you live. Qin Yu chose here because it has no electric lights or water source, so he does not need to bear any expensive living expenses.
The house is very simple, with a bed, two broken cabinets, no entertainment facilities, the only military fan magazine that has been ripped up, and the release date is still 2019.
After entering the house, Qin Yu took off his dirty coat, took out a polished and shiny canvas bag from his arms, cautiously came to the bed, picked up a broken bowl, and started out from the inside. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Xiao Zhuang, is the rice ready?"
"Not yet, I just came back." After a response from someone in the back room, a young man with a dark skin came out, who was about the same age as Qin Yu. Resolute face.
"Deng Deng Deng!"
Just as Qin Yu was about to talk to Xiao Zhuang, there was a deafening footstep downstairs. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately hid the bag and bowl in the cabinet, and stepped to the door with only a dilapidated wooden door.
In less than ten seconds, children under the age of seven or ten, leading dozens of men and women appeared in the stairwell.
The stairs are outdoors, the cement is cracked, and the iron railings are aging. So many people rushed up together, and the pace was so fast, the building seemed to be shaken after a shock.
Qin Yu immediately stretched out his hand and shouted: "Don't...don't go up so hard, shit, the stairs are going to collapse."
"Uncle, hungry."
"Uncle, I want to eat..."
"...!" The
children are alone. He took a small bowl and stood on the stairs, looking at Qin Yu dirty.
"Uncle is also hungry, has your family eaten dinner? Didn't you eat one?" Qin Yu replied with a smile on his face.
The children have pure eyes and simple thinking, but the adults behind them have torn away the most basic disguise. A sturdy man with a shaved bald head yelled first: "Take the food, you can't go down if you don't take it."
"I have no food," Qin Yu waved back and said, "Really not. We all need to plan. It's not easy for the hungry ghosts in the district. If I really have them, I don't want to protect you. At least I will give..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I see you have food." The strong man continued to shout: "Hurry up, finish getting it." Let's go, and if we don't ask for more, we take half."
"No."
Qin Yu shook his head.
"Enter his room." The strong man shouted in a deep voice.
"Uncle, I want to eat."
"For me to eat."
"...!"
The crowd rushed up, and the stairs hanging outside the building swayed again, seeming to collapse at any time.
Qin Yu looked at the crowd in the Wuyang River, his eyes flushed in a flash, raised his right leg, pulled a dagger with his right hand on the dirty trouser leg, pointed at the crowd and shouted: "Damn, bullying Laozi is a lone wolf? Who is afraid to die here? I have the food. I have the knife and I will give it to you."
Everyone was stunned for a while, and the strong man yelled indifferently: "The child is in front, you can stab the children to death first. "
My fucking...!" Qin Yu was speechless for a while.
"Enter the house and get food." The strong man waved his hand and roared again.
Voice down, people on the stairs flocked crowded forward, the children also came up instantly, pulling Qin Yu exclaimed:. "Uncle, give me to eat,"
"Uncle, I have not eaten for several days."
"Both Get out of here!"
Qin Yu held the dagger and shouted helplessly at the children: "Otherwise I really stabbed, I stabbed..."
Inside the house, Xiao Zhuang saw a conflict at the door and immediately stopped Qin Yu. , Shouted at the crowd: "Don't be impulsive, just say something." The
children were so hungry that they were not afraid of anything. They only pestered Qin Yu, while the adults behind had already squeezed up from the gap.
Qin Yu was sturdy and got stuck in the door with a step forward. He stared at the door and shouted, "I only live by myself, don't force me!" The
crowd rushed towards the door in a frantic crowd, and no one paid any attention to Qin Yu's words.
Qin Yu was always dragged by the low-headed children to the door, but he couldn't really stabbed him, so he could only struggle with his body and prepare to deal with the adults who came up.
"Uncle, just give me a bowl of rice..."
"Go!" When
a ten-year-old kid pulled Qin Yu vigorously, the latter shook his arm and was about to break free, but he didn't expect that. The child bumped his head against the rushing crowd, and then his footsteps were unsteady, and he fell out of the gap in the iron fence on his back.
"Ah!!!"
A horrified scream of the child appeared, echoing for a long time.
"Boom!"
The sound followed by the body landing sounded downstairs.
Qin Yu and Xiao Zhuang were dumbfounded, panting and looking at the iron railing, feeling a little at a loss for a while.
The crowd was quiet, and the stairs returned to stability.
"Child, that child fell." Xiao Zhuang yelled urgently first.
Dozens of people turned their heads and glanced downstairs with a dull expression. After being silent for less than two seconds, they collectively turned their heads back. And the mother of that child rushed downstairs after a daze.
Qin Yu was stunned.
"Food."
"The child has fallen. If he is not given food, he will definitely not be allowed to leave."
"Snatch him."
"...!"
The shout was loud and powerful, and none of the others turned around to see the fall. The children who went downstairs continued to squeeze in and rush in.
Xiao Zhuang stood at the door, staring at the crowd coming over. He knew very well that if he didn't produce a little blood today, he would definitely have to fight his life, so he licked his lips and shouted, "Okay, you guys. I admit it, I admit it...I'll take it for you."
Qin Yu immediately grabbed Xiao Zhuang's arm and whispered: "You can't give it, you can't give it at all."
Xiao Zhuang looked at the dark river outside the door . The crowd of people, staring at the eyeballs, responded: "The food has been leaked. If you don't give any sweetness, this group of people will definitely not be able to
leave ." "You will be more troublesome if you give sweetness." Qin Yu responded with a very serious tone: "I would rather work hard , Can't let go."
"Bullshit!" Xiao Zhuang had a different opinion from Qin Yu. He insisted: "You and you have a noise, but there are so many people outside, are you sure to restrain them? If you can't hold it down, then we two They must be robbed. They have red eyes, can't you tell?"
"You will be over after you listen to me. I will go back and get the sound."
"Xiao Yu, didn't you see it? They didn't leave after the child fell. , This group of people is irrational..." Xiao Zhuang pulled Qin Yu's arm away and whispered in response: "We have enough food, and we should also change money for money. Give them a bowl of rice, yes. For us, the loss is small, so I don't want to bet on my life. I have my share of the food, and I have the right to decide how to use it."
Qin Yu was speechless when he heard this.
Xiao Zhuang straightened his position, staring at the leading brawny man and shouted: "The area to be planned also has a way to survive in the planned area. Take the rice, stop making trouble, and get out of it!"
"If you don't die, you must get out of here!" "The leading strong man nodded.
After hearing the sound, Xiao Zhuang stepped back to the house to take a large bowl of rice, and then placed it on the ground with a loud voice: "Go away."
Dozens of people looked at the rice on the ground, all of them looked greedy, but they didn't take the initiative to move forward. Go get it.
The leading brawny was silent for a few seconds, reached out his hand and pulled down the cloth bag tied around his waist, and poured rice into it in one breath.
"Hurry up!" Xiao Zhuang drove away impatiently.
The crowd stood at the door and didn't move. The leading strong man looked at the two of them, tied rice to his waist with sweaty forehead, and did not leave immediately.
"I'll let you go, don't you understand?" Xiao Zhuang frowned and drove away again.
After a while of silence, no one in the crowd yelled: "Fuck, he can give us a bowl of rice, at least there is a big bag of rice!"
"Give it more, there are too many people, and these are simply not enough to eat."
"Give rice."
"Otherwise, go in and grab it, what's the nonsense."
"...!"
The shouts and the curses spread again. A small building, and this time someone in the crowd secretly took out the knife and the murder weapon, looking at Xiao Zhuang with gloomy eyes, with no gratitude at all...The
leading strong man spread his palms and said in a low voice: "You have seen it too," These people are crazy hungry, I can't hold it down at all, otherwise you take out the rice bag and we will get half of the walk."
"You fucking...!" Xiao Zhuang was anxious and took out the knife from his arms. .
"What are you doing, want to fight for it?"
"Are you afraid of you? You will starve to death, are you afraid of moving a knife and shooting a gun?"
"...!"
Everyone is not afraid of Xiao Zhuang at all, and follows the strong man and rushes into the house. .
Xiao Zhuang was dumbfounded, standing still at a loss. He wanted to do it at the moment, but he didn't have the confidence to calm down the frantic food grabbers in front of him; but he didn't do it, and obviously he couldn't protect his things.
"
Quabang, quack !" At this moment, Qin Yu pulled out a three-barrel revolving large-caliber pistol from the cabinet. He turned the sleeve for the first time and loaded the bullet.
When the crowd saw the gun, they instinctively stopped.
Qin Yu pulled out a large bag of grain from the cabinet without expression, and threw it on the floor, shouting: "All the grain is here. You can come up and get it if you want to eat." The
crowd was silent.
"Who are you scaring?" The leading brawny man shouted with red eyes and fan: "If you don't have food, you will die. Are we afraid that you will take a broken gun?"
Qin Yu looked at the other party with a tilted neck, and shouted with his left finger pointing to the food bag. He said, "The food is here. You can take it away with your long hand. Come on?!" The
leading brawny only hesitated for half a second before turning around and shouting: "There are so many of us, he just has a gun, I don't believe it. He can kill everyone."
After speaking, the leading brawny stepped forward, reaching out to grab the grain bag.
"Kang!" The gun sounded and the gears turned.
After the leading brawny flew out half a meter away, blood was spilled on the floor, and a big hole was blasted out of his chest.
Qin Yu held a gun in his right hand and shouted without a wave of expression: "Without food to eat, you may be starved to death in a few days. But now whoever stretches out his hand first, I will kill him with one shot."
Everyone heard this. They all looked at each other without saying a word.
"I still have two bullets, can you take them?" Qin Yu asked suddenly, bursting out loudly.
Everyone took two steps back after hearing the sound.
Qin Yu stepped forward, bent down and untied the grain bag tied to his waist by the strong man, and shouted quietly: "Xiao Zhuang, get things, let's go."
Xiao Zhuang immediately returned to the house after hearing the sound.
Qin Yu shouted with a gun in his right hand: "Two rows, make way for me." The
crowd did not move.
Qin Yu raised his hand and pointed the muzzle at the person closest to him and shouted: "Will you let me?"
The person hesitated for half a second, and immediately stepped aside. At this time, the others followed suit and stepped down the stairs.
Five minutes later, Qin Yu walked downstairs and saw the mother crying with the child who had been injured by the fall.
Qin Yu was silent for a few seconds, and reached out and threw the rice that he had just given to the strong man and said: "They will come down right away. You can hide the grain."
His mother was taken aback, and immediately took the grain bag and replied, "Thank you, thank you, I will give If you kowtow, you don't have to die if you have food..."
Qin Yu led Xiao Zhuang and quickly disappeared into the night.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, in the endless Gobi Desert, Qin Yu sorted the grain and threw it to Xiaozhuang and said, "Take your things, let's separate."
Xiaozhuang was confused and asked very puzzled:" As for? Isn't it just that the two of us disagree with each other just now... I don't think I myself..."
Qin Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Xiao Zhuang, if people and people are not in the same way, don't join together. This way It's easy to harm you and also harm me. I'm going to the ninth district...you take care of yourself."
After that, Qin Yu turned and left without any nostalgia, and rushed to the first stop of his new life, the ninth district.
...
In the army camp on the left side of the planned area, a black man with his big white teeth asked in fluent Chinese: "You shot inside just now. Do you want to see it?"
"Look at a ghost, here every day. People are looting for food, and they all dared to lie in wait in the army's car. How old are we...?" An old cannon in the house, smoking inferior dry smoke, lazily lay on the old wooden bed and responded.
