Chapter 120 8 Tails, They Say They Want to Eat You

"Mayor, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it. I haven't drank water for a long time, and my throat is about to smoke. Why don't we eat some leaves to satisfy our hunger?"

Some of the townspeople clutched their flat stomachs, licked their pale and peeling lips, and their eyes were a little out of focus due to hunger.

"Hold on to my hunger. Don't forget how these trees came from. They are either invasive species or mutant species. If you eat them rashly, you may be poisoned!"

The mayor quickly stopped him loudly.

Knowing he was right, the townspeople took no action and kept their heads down, looking dejected.

Looking up at the trees with unusually thick branches growing in various strange places, Ji Siwei asked: "Mayor, what's the matter with these trees, why do they grow on top of the buildings, and they are very tall."

"Did you come from somewhere else? Haven't these strange trees invaded your place?"

The mayor did not become suspicious, he let out a long sigh, and said to Ji Siwei while driving:

"What kind of trees are these, we can't tell. We are from City B. One day, a tornado suddenly blew in City B. Although the wind was very strong, no one took it seriously. We closed the door and took a nap. The next day The wind stopped, and the days went on as before.

"A few days later, we found that many small saplings had grown on the walls, roads, and rooftops. Only after reading the news did we know that it was the same in other places.

"Experts said that the wind probably blew some tree seeds over and got stuck in the gaps in these places.

"It's just some small saplings. Except for the experts who study these, who would care about these ordinary people in our lives.

"My friends even took pictures and sent them to Moments, lamenting that life is a miracle, no matter where it falls, it can sprout..."

Speaking of this, the mayor might also find it ironic, smiled wryly, and stopped speaking.

Ji Siwei asked, "What happened next?"

"Later..." the mayor rubbed his hands, frowning: "Everyone found that those saplings seemed to grow too fast, and they grew to a height of more than one meter in just two or three days. Only then did people react Come here, if you don't deal with them, if these saplings continue to grow, the house will have to be demolished.

"Workers who maintain urban greening deal with the saplings on the ground, and those above the houses, each household pulls them out by themselves, and firefighters come if they can't be pulled out.

"The ones that grow on the ground and on the roof are easier to deal with, but the ones that grow on the facades of high-rise buildings are tricky. You have to set up scaffolding or use a lift truck to send workers up to cut them down, and you have to remove their roots. There are few such workers." , and the work efficiency is very low, within a few days, those saplings that have not been pulled out have grown very strong.

"At the beginning, everyone was very optimistic. They should work, eat and drink, and thought that the matter would be resolved one day. Until one day, a building collapsed because it was too deeply rooted by trees, and they were killed. It was only then that they discovered how dangerous these invasive plants are.

"Before the people reacted, the government had already tried its best to save it, but it was too late. Those trees soon began to sow seeds and reproduced extremely fast.

"One building after another collapsed, many people were buried under the rubble, and many people were left homeless and had to be taken in by the government.

"It didn't take long before the line was damaged, the traffic in the city was paralyzed, and there was no power supply. But everyone did not despair, the government mobilized the army, and everyone began to cut down trees spontaneously... The situation has improved. If it continues, there is still a chance to save this place. city.

"However, at this juncture, the zombie virus suddenly broke out in the central business district, where the traffic is the most. As soon as the outbreak started, it developed in an uncontrollable direction. Even our small town on the outskirts of the city fell .”

The mayor probably remembered a lot of painful memories, his footsteps became a little slow, his voice became more and more sad, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

Among these townspeople, there are no relatives of the mayor, and his relatives are likely to have died in the accident.

Ji Siwei patted the mayor's thin shoulder lightly, comforting him silently.

The mayor raised his eyes to look at him. Although there were no tears in his eyes, they were red with incomparable vicissitudes: "Woke up one day, and I suddenly realized that this world is no longer the world I was familiar with."

The man following the mayor had been listening to them, and now he interjected with emotion: "What's more frightening is that people still don't know what the source of the zombie virus is. Where did those invasive trees come from? Where did you come from?"

"Who says no? Human beings are too small. As long as the earth wants to do something, killing us is like killing ants." Another townsman said: "All kinds of death methods are clearly arranged for you."

Hearing these words, Ji Siwei knew that these NPCs had been tortured by various disasters and their minds collapsed.

"Don't be too pessimistic, it's not desperate yet."

Ji Siwei comforted him a little bit, and then asked the mayor: "According to what you said, these trees are multiplying so fast that they should have covered the city by now, but they look fine now. Could it be that they have stopped growing?" Yet?"

The mayor nodded: "You're right, I don't know when, their growth rate has slowed down, but we are displaced, avoiding zombies everywhere, and we don't have the energy to cut down trees."

The closer to the north, the lower the buildings and the more people on the road.

They searched for food while they were on the road, but they found a supermarket, but even the warehouse was emptied, not to mention instant noodles, and there was not even a package of spicy noodles left.

Looking at the empty shelves, Wei Qi grabbed his curly hair and turned himself into a broccoli flower: "It's empty again, where is the food?"

Yingying: "I'm really hungry."

Cheng Baobei is optimistic: "It's okay, people can live for several days without eating or drinking."

"We've been starving for a whole day." The townspeople began to miss the past: "It's still better in our small town. We grow vegetables in the yard and raise chickens, so we never get hungry."

Wei Qi swallowed: "Chicken, I want to eat chestnut chicken stew..."

Yingying spread her hands: "I still want to eat hot pot."

Cheng Baobei said: "After rinsing the duck intestines and beef tripe at the bottom of the red oil pot, the children next door will cry."

As Wei Qi listened, he felt that his mouth was salivating crazily: "Hot pot needs to be paired with beer."

Yingying shook her head: "It has to be served with milk tea. Boba milk tea is very sweet. It's best to add a cheese milk cap."

Cheng Baobei: "Milk tea is too sweet, I usually drink fruit tea."

Seeing that they were chatting so vigorously, the townspeople couldn't help feeling: "You guys are in such a good mood."

"Let's go." Ji Siwei ruthlessly interrupted their "Yunchi Hot Pot": "The zombies who come to eat you may already be on their way."

Wei Qi's enthusiasm was extinguished by the cold water at once: "The hot pot that came to mind suddenly didn't taste good."

Yingying: "Suddenly it doesn't smell good."

Cheng Baobei: "It doesn't smell good anymore."

"Help! Help! Someone is stealing my food!"

As soon as he walked out of the street, he heard someone shouting for help.

In normal times, if food is robbed, no one will call for help.

But in this special period, robbing people of food is like cutting their lives.

"Did you hear that? Food, there's food!"

Some of the townspeople said something excitedly.

For these people, the point of that sentence is food, not life-saving.

In this situation, life is worth less than grass. Everyone is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. It seems that no one cares about the life and death of others.

The incident happened diagonally across the street, about ten meters away from them.

"I found this with great difficulty, please... please... my father is very sick, and he will die if he doesn't eat anything..."

The person who was robbed was a thin woman, tightly clutching the plastic bag in her hand, and tears fell down, crying very sadly.

"I care so much about you, let go! You fucking let me go!"

The man who robbed was tall and burly. Seeing that she refused to let go, he directly punched the woman's cheek.

The woman didn't wear a mask, and her face was instantly bruised. She was dizzy from the beating, and fell to the ground with a scream.

The man grabbed the bag of food and was about to run.

Before Ji Siwei had time to pass by, several young men standing near the woman approached and surrounded the man grabbing food.

These youths all looked relatively strong, and the men knew they couldn't beat them, so they dropped their food and ran away.

One of the young men with yellow hair looked at the back of the man running away, sneered, and picked up the bag of food.

With a sneer on the corner of Ah Ming's lips, he asked Ji Siwei: "Do you think these people will return the food to the owner?"

Ji Siwei: "No."

The woman got up tremblingly, not caring about wiping the blood from the corner of her lips, and walked up to those young men: "Thank you..."

"you are welcome."

The yellow-haired young man walked up to her with a smile, and suddenly got angry and grabbed her by the collar: "Where did you find this food, is there any food there?"

The woman was startled by him, trembling all over: "It's...it's gone."

A few young people didn't believe it at all, and they were still asking her.

In the past, if you encountered such a thing, you could call the police, and the police would uphold justice for you.

But now, the law has lost its role in this land.

"I really can't stand it."

The fruit knife slipped out of his sleeve, and Ji Siwei handed over the backpack and the fruit knife to Wei Qi.

Hachio consciously jumped off the ground and followed behind him.

Several young people noticed that someone was coming, and looked at him vigilantly.

The yellow-haired young man in the lead let go of the woman's collar, looked Ji Siwei up and down, bent his arms pretentiously, and made a threatening gesture: "The guy who doesn't even have full hair, doesn't he want to get a share of the pie too?" ? Look at the muscles on the arms of my brother? I can punch you casually, and I can beat you, a brat, to the ground, so get out of here!"

Another young man also laughed and said: "I heard that there are no brats, be sensible and give us your cat, such a fat cat, stewing it is enough for us to eat."

Ji Siwei pulled off the mask on his face, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Bawei, they said they want to eat you."

The eight-tailed cat snorted coldly, its green eyes were terribly cold.

It didn't say a word, and jumped directly at the yellow-haired youth, with sharp nails protruding from the gap between the flesh pads.

"Fuck! How dare you attack me? I'll take you back to make soup!"

The young man with yellow hair pulled out a telescopic iron rod from the back of his waist, and smashed it at a group of "black balls" that rushed towards him without any rules.

Ji Siwei didn't like to talk nonsense, so he went forward and grabbed a person's arm and pulled him in front of him. Before the person could react, he bent his knees and pushed him against him, almost vomited his stomach juice.
