doomsday survival

Chapter 61
It's been a week since the new year, and the atmosphere of the new year has long since faded, but the relationship between the three is getting better and better, and they are like relatives to each other, so that Shi Jian can always feel the warmth that can only be found at home.Life has already been on the right track. Although hunting, studying and exercising every day, just like the three-point line in school, it is as plain as warm water, but it is very warm when you savor it carefully.

That morning, Shi Jian got up early as usual, first ran around the camp for a few laps, and then practiced a set of Cheng's three-axe with a fire axe. When it was time, he took off his shirt and wiped the sweat off his body.

Sister Xia Qing was very conscious when exercising, and she didn't need Shi Jian's supervision at all. In the last days, only good physical fitness can ensure longer survival. personal heart.

After breakfast, Shi Jian and Xia Qing went to collect the prey from the trap, while Xia Rou was responsible for cleaning the dishes and tidying up the room.Everything is so natural, everyone has their own work, and there is no need for others to remind them.

After leaving the door, Shi Jian looked up at the gloomy sky. The black clouds were about to press down on the tops of the birch trees. The sunlight stubbornly shone through a crack in the clouds, and was immediately submerged by the thick clouds. up.

Shi Jian said: "It looks like it's going to snow, we have to hurry up."

The two quickened their pace, no longer walking and chatting like before, trying to get home before the snow fell.

Today's harvest was not big, and several traps in the woods were not triggered. It was not until a frozen hare was caught in the bushes outside.

Shi Jian shook his head and said to Xia Qing with a sigh: "Look, animals are much smarter than humans. They know that it's going to snow, and the cats couldn't come out at home yesterday."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "There are two more traps, maybe they can catch the prey."

"I hope so, anyway, I don't have any hope." Shi Jian said and walked to the next trap.

The remaining two traps are much farther away. There is no way to do this. The nearby birds and beasts are getting better and better, and the number of times they step on the traps is getting less and less. Shi Jian thinks that these beasts have evolved to recognize the traps .

The two walked through the cluttered bushes and moved forward along the path they had stepped on.At this time, the biting cold wind became stronger, and the woods wailed in pain.Shi Jian and Xia Qing had to bow their heads to move forward. They turned their collars up high, and the hot air they exhaled condensed into frost on the fur hats around their faces, and then spread to the surroundings. A dense layer was hung on it, and Shi Jian's new year's trimmed beard was even more white. From a distance, he looked like Santa Claus with white beard and white hair.Even though the collar was turned up, the all-pervasive cold wind still penetrated through the gap between the fur hat and the collar, making people feel bitingly cold.

"It's going to be a blizzard!" Shi Jian said loudly, otherwise he couldn't suppress the raging wind.

"Why don't we go back!" Xia Qing also said loudly.

Shi Jian hesitated for a moment, and said to Xia Qing: "We're going to the next trap soon, let's talk about it after we've been there, we won't go to the last one."

Xia Qing nodded and said, "Okay!"

Finally arrived at the last trap, looking at a pheasant hanging from a tree, Shi Jian let out a breath and said, "Fortunately, it didn't come in vain."

By the time the two of them took out the pheasant, scattered snowflakes had already begun to fall from the sky. Shi Jian didn't care whether the remaining trap had prey, so he dragged Xia Qing to rush home, trying to get back before the blizzard hit. warm home.

Of course they couldn't go back the same way when they got home, otherwise they would have to go around a long way. The two decided to walk back through the woods in front of them. If there were no accidents, they would be able to get home in only an hour.

Entering the woods, with the shelter of the trees, the wind was obviously much lower, and Shi Jian and Xia Qing could finally slow down and catch their breath.

"This damn weather, it was fine last night, now it's up to you." Shi Jian cursed.

"Fortunately, the wind in the forest is less, otherwise it would be too tiring to walk." Xia Qing reached out to wipe off the frost on his face, and helped Shi Jian deal with it again.

"Let's walk faster, or Xiaorou should be in a hurry." Shi Jian took Xia Qing's hand and quickened his pace.

The howling north wind swept the entire Xiaoxing'an Mountains with heavy snow like goose feathers. The sky and the earth were in a daze, and the visibility dropped rapidly, and only the outline of the opposite side could be seen clearly.Fortunately, the canopy of tall trees is huge, blocking the storm and snow. Although the light is a little dark, it doesn't affect the sight much.Shi Jian and Xia Qing crossed their fingers. Although they were too busy to talk, they didn't feel tired. Instead, they felt very comfortable.

While the two were walking forward, Shi Jian suddenly stopped, looked to the left, Xia Qing also stopped, and asked, "Brother Jian, what's wrong?"

Shi Jian didn't speak, and pointed to a place about 50 meters to the left.Xia Qing looked in the direction of his finger, and saw two rows of footprints on the snow, extending forward.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Xia Qing didn't feel anything unusual. They often went through the forest, and it was quite normal to have footprints.

Shi Jian shook his head and said, "This is not what we walked by."

"It's not ours?" Xia Qing was taken aback. Is there anyone else besides the three of them?

"If I remember correctly, we didn't go here at all. Even if we came back from the next trap, we didn't go here. And the way we walked back and forth was basically the same. How could we only leave these two lines of footprints?" Shi Jian pulled Xia Qing forward, wanting to take a closer look.

It was only then that Xia Qing figured out, walking home from the last trap, the road was still a mile away from here, so whose footprints were these?
The two people walked up to the footprints and examined them carefully. Judging from the size of the footprints, they should be two adult men. In addition, the difference between the footprints and the two is also very obvious.The shoes Shi Jian and the others wore were all made by Xia Qing from wolf skins. The soles of the shoes were specially made of wood to prevent wear and tear, without heels.And the soles of these two footprints have obvious heels and shallow patterns. Shi Jian can even see the trademark on one footprint!

"These are definitely not my shoes!" Xia Qing said decisively.

"There are still people here!" Shi Jian was startled. Strange to say, Shi Jian had always wanted to find surviving humans, but when he found someone, he felt no excitement at all, but endless fear.

The two looked along the direction of the footprints, and the footprints soon merged with their original footprints, heading towards home.

"Xiaorou!" Shi Jian and Xia Qing exclaimed together.Then the two ran home regardless of their fatigue.

Obviously, the people who came found the traces of Shi Jian's activities, and the direction of going was their own home, and at this time only Xiaorou was at home!

Both Shi Jian and Xia Qing thought of one thing, that is the man-eating tribe in the north that Xia Qing's uncle mentioned!Thinking that it might be the cannibal tribe in the north, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the two of them.Those are not wolves without wisdom, they are people exactly like them, the defense circle can't stop them at all, although there are Xiao Meng and Xiao Wei at home to protect Xia Rou, but who knows what weapons they have?Although there were only two people here, Xia Rou was just an eight-year-old child, far weaker than two adults in terms of intelligence and strength.

Home was just ahead, less than 100 meters away, but Shi Jian didn't dare to take another step forward, he was afraid.Shi Jian can't even imagine what will happen to Xia Rou after being caught by the cannibal tribe. As long as he thinks of that pink and jade-carved face full of fear and pain, his heart feels like being stabbed by a knife.

Xia Qing's heart is even more confused at this moment, Xiaorou is his only relative, and he has seen his older sister since he was a child. If something really happened, how could he explain to Xiarou's mother who died to protect him?

However, escaping could not solve the problem. In the end, the two still took up their weapons and moved forward quietly in the confused snow.Shi Jian half-raised the engineering shovel, Xia Qing's arrow was on the string, and the two of them were ready to deal a head-on blow to possible enemies at any time.

Carefully walking across the single-plank bridge, Shi Jian signaled Xia Qing to keep quiet, and the two of them came to the door and listened hard.

Someone was obviously in the room, but the voice was too low, drowned out by the howling wind.Shi Jian was hesitating about what to do next, when suddenly, "Ah!" came over.

"Xiaorou!" Shi Jian couldn't care less about anything else, he shouted, and yanked the door open.
