Chapter 1 No Prey
The sky is getting later and later, and it won't be long before night falls, completely covering the entire land.

Standing in the crowd, Chen Fan, like the vast majority of people, stood on tiptoe and looked towards the distant horizon, trying his best.

In the depths of the wilderness, the roar of ferocious beasts sounded from time to time.

If the hunting team couldn't return to the castle before it was completely dark, what they would face was boundless darkness and ferocious beasts that would attack anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt his arm tighten, and looked down, it turned out that it was the mother beside him, with a pale face, grabbing his arm, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Mom, don't worry, Dad and the others will be back soon, right now."

He soothed softly.

The woman nodded, then looked up eagerly into the distance.

Chen Fan glanced around, and the faces of hundreds of people were full of anxiety and panic.

He sighed inwardly. He didn't know why, but he just took a nap on the subway, and when he woke up, he traveled here. Today is the second day after he traveled here.

This world is similar to the previous life. The difference is that ten years ago, the world changed, and the birds and beasts, including flowers and trees, all changed. Not only did they become bigger, but they also became cruel and bloodthirsty, and extremely aggressive.

Among humans, there are awakened ones. Their spiritual power is far superior to that of ordinary people, and they can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Some top awakened people can even destroy a town in a previous life without fear of hot weapons.

Of course, there are very few awakened ones. The places where they are are gradually forming cities, attracting survivors to go. I heard that some large cities, like ten years ago, have electricity, internet, delicious food, and clean water. , People still take the subway to work, nine to five, as in the past.

After all, resources are limited. The vast majority of ordinary people are not qualified to enter cities, even small ones. They can only form strongholds to protect themselves and resist fierce beasts.

Not to mention electricity, even the most basic life safety cannot be guaranteed. There is a lack of food, medicine, energy, and daily necessities, and they walk on the edge of life and death all day long.

Just like the original owner of the body, because he couldn't take it because of hunger, he sneaked out, ate unknown fruits in the wild, developed a high fever for three days, and finally died, allowing him to occupy the body.

"Could it be that something really happened?"

He couldn't help clenching his fists.

At this moment, excited shouts came from the seven or eight-meter-high wooden watchtower nearby, "Here they come! They are coming!"

"Really!"

"Where is it? Why didn't you see it?"

"People stand tall and see far away, but we will soon be able to see it too."

"Great, finally came back."

The crowd completely boiled over, looking far away, I saw some small black spots slowly appearing on the horizon, getting closer, getting closer, everyone felt relieved, and the smiles on their faces became thicker and thicker.

However, when the team approached, the smiles on people's faces gradually froze.

I saw a group of more than a dozen people holding bows, arrows and spears, and they were in a state of distress. Several of them were supported to walk, and some were carrying them on their backs.

One eye can see, no prey.

Those who were more perceptive found that the number of people was still a few fewer.

The team approached slowly and stopped in front of the suspension bridge. The leader had a square face and a stern face. There were several bloody wounds on his right arm, but at this moment, guilt was written all over his face.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The man licked his chapped lips, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this time, we encountered two mid-level ferocious beasts, they attacked suddenly, and we not only lost our original prey, Zhu Zi, A Hua, Xiao Gao, they all... "

Before the words were finished, several people in the crowd felt a whirlwind and fainted.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the people around hurriedly picked up the fainted person and sent them home.

The rest of the hunting team also lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look into the eyes of the old, weak, women and children.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.

dead?
And three of them died at once.

It seems that in the memory of the original owner, this was the worst casualty.

The square-faced man named head was the father of the original owner of the body, the leader who led everyone to build this castle.

There were scattered voices, some sobbing, some sighing, and some speaking to comfort them.

The hunting team slowly entered, and the suspension bridge in front of the gate was also pulled up. The entire camp was surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, which seemed impregnable and gave people a rare sense of security.

The wives and children of the injured man were heartbroken seeing the man seriously injured, but they thought of the few people who went out with him in the morning but never came back in the evening, and secretly rejoiced.

Those with only minor injuries left with their families. After a while, it was completely dark, and the entire camp was plunged into darkness. They could only see their surroundings clearly with the help of the faint moonlight.

"Guodong, your arm."

The woman grabbed the square-faced man's right arm, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

Chen Fan walked over. He had just crossed for a few days, and he was still a little uncomfortable with this identity.

"I am fine."

Chen Guodong shook his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If I could have found those two beasts earlier, Zhu Zi and the others would not, and would not..."

"Snapped!"

A big solid hand patted him on the shoulder, and a big bald man comforted him: "Guodong, it's not your fault, if you want to blame it, blame this damn world, those of us who survived , sooner or later there will be such a day.”

"Go back to rest early."

He patted the latter on the shoulder again, then grinned at the serious Chen Fan, and took his family back.

"Dad, let's go back first."

Chen Fan said, "My brother is still at home."

Chen Guodong was startled and nodded.

The entire bunker fell into a deathly silence. In the room next to it, the fire was beating, and there were crackling and cracking sounds from time to time, as well as the sound of weak conversations.

"Mom, I'm hungry and I want to eat more."

"Sleep, you won't be hungry when you sleep."

"But am I really hungry?"

"Be obedient, if you eat those things, you really have nothing to eat."

The voice gradually weakened.

Chen Guodong's face became more and more guilty.

Chen Fan glimpsed this scene out of the corner of his eye, and sighed inwardly. Although the father of the original body was reticent, he was an upright and kind person.

Every time there is prey, it is equally distributed to the people in the village, and the old and weak women and children are raised, so that their own family is stretched, which makes many people complain.

Recently, due to bad luck, there are very few prey, and there is not much food in the entire village, and everyone is starving.

Winter is coming soon, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be a tragedy of cannibalism.
