doomsday survival

Chapter 33 The Tribe
"Our tribe originally had 52 people..." The girl tried her best not to let the tears flow down, and slowly told Shi Jian about her tribe.

Da Ya didn't know when this tribe began to exist, and the tribe didn't have a name.From the time she knew how to count, the tribe has only 52 people.Moreover, the tribe was originally farther to the east, and it was only two months ago that they moved here. The reason for the migration was the zombies.

In the last days, the remaining human beings have to gather together in order to survive. They live together like a family, helping each other, supporting each other, working together, sharing joys and sorrows, and overcoming the difficulties in front of them together.Human inferiority does not appear in end-time novels, at least not in this tribe.As long as Da Ya can remember, all people are brothers and sisters, and it is true. Everyone only knows who the mother is, and the father may be anyone.

Hearing this, Shi Jian thought in his heart: "Isn't this bad? Maybe, really not. This is the primitive society of communism and wives, and a matrilineal clan!"

Reminiscent of what Da Ya said back then that she could do whatever she wanted, she couldn't help asking Da Ya, "That, you..." I didn't know how to speak for a while, and finally gritted my teeth, "Do you all sleep together at night? ?”

Da Ya looked at Shi Jian and said in surprise: "We live in a very deep cave, why don't we sleep together?"

Shi Jian suddenly felt something in his heart shatter with a "snap".Shi Jian pursed his lips and said, "Then...you continue."

In the east, Daya and the others lived in a deep cave. From her description, Shi Jian judged that it should be an abandoned mine.Da Ya's life is very simple, digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits every day, but the work of those adults is much heavier, fishing, hunting, opening up wasteland, and farming.

That's right, they also have agriculture, but they don't have the corresponding technology. They often burn a piece of wasteland, dig a hole with tools, put sweet potatoes in it, and wait until autumn to dig it out.It is said that some people knew how to do it before, but then there were fewer and fewer people, and all those who knew it died.

According to the older generation, there were more than 200 people in this tribe, which was quite a large number, so Da Ya used more than 200 people to scare Shi Jian.However, due to diseases, injuries, and zombie attacks, the population is constantly decreasing and moving westward.

Zombies generally don't leave the old area—that is, the original town and village, but if you go to the old area, there will be a smell, and the zombies can follow the smell within two hours, so before the daylight disappears Two hours is the best time to go to the old district.

Hearing this, Shi Jian broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he chose the best time every time, even the first time he went to the specialty store was more than three hours before sunset.

Wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, Shi Jian continued to listen to Da Ya's story.

Although everyone tries not to go to the old area, sometimes they have to find some necessities, such as salt.Everyone also tried to choose to go to the old district at noon, but the weather is beyond people's control, so they are often attacked by zombies.

Every time, adult men will take the initiative to fight, leaving the hope of life to women and children, but they choose to die.In this way, the population of the tribe became smaller and smaller. Until they moved here two months ago, they had only three men and ten women. Their children were only Da Ya and Er Ya, and one of the three men was an uncle who met halfway. .

The uncle escaped from the north. He said that the tribes there cannibalized people, and he couldn't get along with those people, so he ran away.Uncle knows many things that people in the tribe have never heard of. Because he is the oldest, everyone calls him Uncle.Uncle once said that he wants to change the world so that everyone can live a happy life.Unfortunately, when the three of them went to the old area to look for salt, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and they never came back. What Da Ya and the others waited anxiously was the following zombies.

When Shi Jian heard this, he was silent for a while. He thought that the day when he was attacked at the checkpoint, it suddenly became cloudy. At that time, all the zombies in the town were going in another direction, probably to attack Daya's tribe.Thinking of the dressed zombie in the small supermarket, it might be one of the three.

"What is uncle wearing?" Shi Jian asked.

"Uncle said it's called denim clothes, we don't know each other, and uncle also has a raincoat, which is good, it won't get wet in the rain, and it's in the backpack." Erya hurriedly replied.

"It's him." Shi Jian was sure of the zombie's identity, but he didn't tell them because he was afraid they would be sad.Hearing Erya's words again felt very strange, so he asked, "Haven't you seen denim clothes, haven't you seen them in the old district?"

"Yes, but it's all broken. Uncle said it's pure cotton that attracts insects and is easy to rot. Do you know what cotton is? And when it snowed the day before yesterday, I heard someone calling for snow to wear a cotton jacket. Is that you? Uncle I said before that if the cotton can still be used, it can be used as a cotton jacket to wear in winter, and it can also be used as clothes. Is the cotton jacket warmer than fur?" A series of questions came out of Er Ya's mouth, and Shi Jian didn't know how to answer. That's good.

After organizing the language for a long time, Shi Jian said slowly: "Cotton is very warm, and it is also very useful. It will not be clear for a while."

"Oh, if you don't know, just say you don't know." Arya said disdainfully to Shi Jian.Shi Jian was speechless for a while, scratching his head.

Shi Jian ignored the little girl and signaled the big girl to continue.

"Later... there is no later." Da Ya's tears finally couldn't stop, streaming down, "They only had time to... hide us in the pool... and then be eaten... by zombies It's... woo..."

Shi Jian looked at the sisters who were crying and hugging each other, and sat there numbly. The otaku who had never coaxed girls before was at a loss, and said after a long time: "Well...don't cry, I will protect you in the future."

Da Ya sobbed for a long time, then stopped, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Shi Jian: "Then why are you alone?"

"Me." Shi Jian shrugged and laughed at himself, "I came here through time travel."

"Traveling?" Da Ya was at a loss, "Where is it? Is it okay there? Is your tribe big?"

"It's very far away..." Shi Jian's thoughts drifted across the mountains and went straight to the distant past, "Our... tribe is very big, with many people. Although some people's life is also difficult, it is much better than mine now... ..."

"Then why did you come out? Isn't it good to be there? Can you take us there?" Daya fantasized about Shi Jian's tribe and was puzzled by Shi Jian's coming out.

"Hehe." Shi Jian smiled, shook his head and said, "I can't go back, I can't go back."

"why?"

"Our people changed too many things in order to live a better life. In the end, they wanted to change themselves, but..." Shi Jian paused for a while, looked at the big girl and the second girl and said, "It failed. I came out first , Otherwise, you won’t see me either.”

"What does it mean to fail?" Arya asked.

"It's a failure." Shi Jian sighed, "There are no people in our tribe, and the rest are just like you, living a life without clothes and food."

Seeing that the two sisters still wanted to ask, Shi Jian asked them first, "How did you escape in the water?"

"Water can block odors." Erya thought it was common sense, and answered Shi Jian as a matter of course.

"Then why don't they go into the water?" Shi Jian felt incredible.

"Woo..." Erya cried.

"Alas..." Da Ya sighed, and told Shi Jian with tears, "The zombies are coming, and they won't leave until they are found. How long can we hold our breath in the water? Auntie and the others are trying to let them If we want to survive, we must attract the zombies away, that's why..." Then Da Ya started to cry.

After hearing these words, Shi Jian's mood could no longer be calm. In order to keep the two children alive, ten adults died generously. Is this the end of the world?Who says humanity is lost?
In fact, since ancient times, in the face of death, human beings are not so selfish, and human nature is not necessarily so bad.In ancient and modern China and abroad, there are many people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness for ideals, for freedom, and for survival.

"If it is possible to meet other people, I will try my best to promote the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature, and wipe out all the bad roots! Even if I go through all kinds of hardships, I will not hesitate!" Shi Jian thought.

After a long time, Shi Jian met many people, and indeed saw the evil of human nature, but no matter what, the picture that Da Ya narrated always appeared in his heart, and this picture always supported Shi Jian to complete the His ideal, his dream.
