Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 16: episode

   Long Yuehong was startled, and instinctively grabbed the "Berker" assault rifle next to him and jumped up.

   Just when he was hesitant to throw away the lunch box he was holding in his other hand, Jiang Baimian looked around calmly:

   "Nothing happened..."

   She then smiled at Long Yuehong:

   "Don't be nervous, isn't this really close yet?

   "Sit down, sit down, wait for the can to heat up and eat it."

   While talking, she patted the grenade gun nicknamed "Tyrant" beside her.

   On the other side of the bonfire, Bai Chen observed carefully for a while before returning his attention to the food.

   "But, group leader, something is approaching us! Don't you worry about being attacked suddenly?" Long Yuehong couldn't understand Jiang Baimian's attitude.

   Jiang Baimian stared at the cans that had already been opened:

  "Isn’t it a situation that Shang Jian Yao is prepared for?

   "If the thing is not close, don't we have to eat and wait for it? I really have to be too hungry, too tired, and it will affect our performance."

   She gradually smiled:

   "In short, as long as the sky hasn't fallen down, it won't affect us to fill our stomachs."

   Long Yuehong sat down suspiciously, and from time to time he looked up at Shang Jian Yao, fearing that he would make mistakes and could not find the enemy who had entered the danger zone.

   As the flame swayed, the juice in the can melted away, and the indescribable fragrance continued to dissipate around.

   This is the taste of pork, soybeans, salt, and spices mixed through a complex process. Everyone present seems to stretch out a hand from the stomach, uncontrollably drilled through the throat, and reached the mouth.

   "Okay." Jiang Baimian smiled sincerely.

   At this moment, at the top of the collapsed building complex, where the green vines were entwined, a black shadow rushed out and went straight to Long Yuehong by the campfire.

  While the fire was shaking, Shang Jianyao and others finally saw clearly what the dark shadow looked like:

   She is a female human, with ragged clothes, revealing dense and filthy skin, her hair hanging down in a mess, greasy and condensed into a network.

  Her nails are long and sharp, shimmering with cold light, and her eyes are bloodshot and muddy, like beasts.

   She bends her body very fast, just like an ape clutching a vine.

boom!

   Shang saw that Yao had just raised the assault rifle in his hand, and he heard a gunshot.

  哐当! The incoming black shadow fell heavily to the ground.

   With her face facing upwards, an exaggerated, hideous blood hole appeared from the left chest to the shoulder, and she couldn't find a good place.

   After two twitches, this female human lost her life.

   Jiang Baimian took back the "United 202" pistol and said calmly:

   "A ‘unintentional’."

   "The unintentional"...Long Yuehong looked at the corpse with surprise and curiosity.

   This is a noun that every person who studies the history of dust can't bypass, and it is also a thing that is described heavily in the internal teaching material of "Pangu Biology".

"The unintentional" is also called "the unintentional", which refers to human beings suffering from "intentional disease"-this kind of disease is also called "veterinary disease" or "returning ancestor disease", meaning that the sick human will lose All reason, thoughts, and feelings become creatures like beasts, leaving only the instinct for predation, the instinct for survival, and the instinct for using simple tools.

   They are unable to communicate and will actively attack normal humans, treating each other as prey.

   The earliest appearance of "intentional disease" was when the old world was destroyed. In a short period of time, a large number of human beings in a city became "unintentional", and more unsuspecting people died in the hands of "unintentional".

Since the "unintentional" need to eat to survive, just like real beasts, after the collapse of human order and the advent of the great famine, they quickly died in large numbers who had consumed the city's "storage". One part of the number.

  According to the observations of many historical researchers on the dust, in addition to hunting humans, "unintentional people" will also prey on beasts, dig roots, pick fruits, catch mutated and unmutated mice to eat. When they are hungry, they will attack each other.

   Such "recipes" and living environment make "unintentional" rarely live beyond 30 years old, but they have the instinct to reproduce and have a large number of offspring.

   After the first generation, the "unintentional" will have a little bit more wisdom and a stronger hunting ability.

   Logically speaking, when human beings restore a certain order and master enough firepower, it is not too difficult to deal with the "unintentional" who are closer to the beast, but it is not the case.

On the one hand, although the "unintentional" does not know how to dismantle and maintain weapons, they will use it as if they have this instinct-the farther away from the original "unintentional", the stronger this instinct, and, " The "unintentional" have human nature, which will be polluted and deformed. While causing a large number of "unintentional" to die in pain, it also creates a batch of top hunters.

Of course, no matter how good the "unintentional" are at using weapons, they do not know scientific research, do not know how to organize production, do not know how to maintain and maintain, even if they become top hunters, they cannot make them in the face of a firepowered human army. Too much trouble. After all, human beings have the technology of "inducing mutations and genetic modification". Even if they are not so mature and have a low success rate, they can still crush the "unintentional" who watch the sky.

On the other hand, human beings have never found out the pathogenesis and transmission law of "intentional disease", and do not know how to prevent this disease. This has led to soldiers reluctant to go to areas where "intentional people" gather for fear of being infected. Therefore, after the major forces have eliminated the "unintentional" around themselves, they are unwilling to deal with those entrenched in the ruins of the old world cities.

   To this day, "No Heart Disease" is still a shadow over humans.

   Because even if they have not directly contacted the "unintentional", people who live well in the settlements may lose their rationality and wisdom and become "beasts" after a single sleep.

   And their relatives and friends are completely fine, there is no sign of infection at all-this is the conclusion drawn after long-term isolation and observation.

   In the early years, there was a high-ranking power who was extremely afraid of "unintentional". He slept in an isolation room and had to wear gas masks and chemical protective suits when he entered and exited. As a result, he became a "unintentional" one day.

   Fortunately, since the new calendar, the average incidence of "no-heart disease" is not too high, otherwise humans may have collapsed.

   The tragic condition of the corpse made Long Yuehong's throat sour when he saw a similar scene for the first time, and he turned his head subconsciously and didn't dare to look again.

   "It looks like the first generation." Bai Chen recalled just now and made a judgment.

   "From the degree of clothes tattered, the disease has not been more than a year." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, "Do you need me to tell you the knowledge of the'unintentional' again?"

   Seeing Yao did not answer, Shang suddenly spoke:

   "This is not the dark shadow I saw just now.

   "The dark shadow should be shorter."

   Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

   "You two search the corpse to see if there are any valuables, then carry the corpse outside and bury it, don't leave the place illuminated by the fire."

   She thought for a while, walked to the jeep, took out four dark things, and threw them to Shang Jian Yao and Long Yue Hong:

  "The walkie-talkie has an effective range of two kilometers, and the open area will be farther.

   "What's the situation, let me know immediately, you guys, should you know how to use it?"

   "I can fix it." Shang Jian Yao answered the question.

   Both he and Long Yuehong graduated from the Department of Electronics.

   Long Yuehong hung up the walkie-talkie, and walked hesitantly to the corpse of the "unintentional".

   The smell of blood mixed with the unspeakable stench churns upwards, making Long Yuehong who shrank and dare not look at the corpse almost vomited.

   Shang Jian Yao walked over, took the initiative to conduct a search, and then stood on the head of the corpse, which was the side with the gunshot wound.

   "Do you need me to carry it?" He said to Long Yuehong.

   "Uh..." Long Yuehong wanted to say that it would not be good for Shang Jian Yao to carry the corpse.

   "I mean, do you need me to carry you?" Shang Jianyao explained expressionlessly.

   Long Yuehong gave a dry smile:

"no, I'm fine."

   He bent down and grabbed the corpse's feet.

   Shang Jian Yao put his arms through the armpit of the unintentional person.

   The blood dripped little by little, and the two of them carried the corpse and walked out of the clearing. At the edge of the fire, they dug a hole and buried the corpse in it.

   This somewhat affected Long Yuehong's appetite, so he only ate a compressed biscuit and half a canned roast pork with soybeans.

   The sky is getting darker and darker, and Jiang Baimian is about to arrange the night order for tonight, when a roar suddenly came from a distance:

   "Woohoo!"

   The voice resounded through the sky, rough and desolate, like a nightmare at night.

   It just fell, and the roaring roars echoed endlessly in different places in the swamp.

   Long Yuehong was so heartbroken that she couldn't help but ask:

   "Is this a pack of wolves?"

   "Have you ever seen wolves distributed in different places?" Jiang Baimian laughed.

   "Is this kind of situation where beasts roar everywhere in the swamp?" Long Yuehong asked nervously.

   Jiang Baimian shook his head, his smile unchanged:

"Unusual."

   "This, what can I do?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

   Jiang Baimian gave him a funny look:

  "This is indeed anomalous, indicating that something may have happened deep in the swamp.

   "But looking at the general area and direction, there is no intersection with our route and destination. UU read www.uukanshu.com, so don't worry about it."

   "Don't worry?" Long Yuehong looked at Shang Jian Yao next to him, and found that he was not scared at all.

   Bai Chen, who was responsible for guarding the surroundings, saw this and said calmly:

   "In the Black Marsh Wilderness, there will be an abnormality or accident every few days, how can I manage it?

   "In such a large wilderness, the possibility that those things will affect you is very low."

   "What if it is affected?" Long Yuehong asked.

   Shang Jian Yao stared at the bonfire and said:

   "That only shows that your name is bad."

   "...Also, I can't avoid it if my life is bad, and I can't meet it if my life is good." Long Yuehong gritted his teeth and nodded.

   Jiang Baimian couldn’t understand the conversation between the two of them, and was too embarrassed to ask, so he smiled:

   "We are far away from the place where the incident occurred, and we don't know the specific situation at all, so we can't prepare in advance.

   "Without the premise of withdrawing the company, the only option is to go around that place and go a little farther, and our route is like this."

   "This makes more sense than it just sounds..." Long Yuehong thought about it carefully, and found that the two expressions of the same meaning had completely different effects.

   Jiang Baimian heard the words and smiled:

   "So, learn to grasp the essence of things.

   "At this point, Shang Jian Yao is much better than you, you see, he has not been nervous."

   Shang Jian Yao nodded slightly:

   "I'm just considering whether to participate."

   "Huh?" Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were all puzzled.

   Shang Jian Yao opened his mouth and made a sound:

   "Woohoo!"
