Chapter 605 Hunger

A few people gave up the carriage and walked into the forest on foot. There were more ghosts than people in Hanyang, and the carriage was not afraid of losing it. The forest looked quite lush, and the head could not be seen at a glance. As the footsteps penetrated into the trees, it became denser and denser , going in this direction, they are likely to enter the deep mountains.

  【The vegetation has obvious signs of excavation, and withering time varies from outside to inside】

  【Please continue to collect data】

  【Scratch marks, knife cuts, farm tool plowing marks, bite marks are found】

The surrounding traces were captured and enlarged by Zhinao, and they were all marked for Chu Dong. At this time, it was no longer necessary to say that Chu Dong already knew what was going on here. There was a terrible famine. These people didn't even release the bark. However, everything that can be eaten has been swept away.

Although the vegetation outside had also withered, it was completely different from the one here. On the way from Da Zou to here, Chu Dong saw a lot of withered vegetation. Their leaves and roots were basically there. At first glance, they only felt that their vitality had been cut off. , And here is really barren, all the grass and trees in this forest have been gnawed, the leaves and bark are all gone, and even the ground has been rummaged.

Zhinao classified the traces according to time and habits, and finally found that there is a fixed group of people harvesting regularly and collecting everything that can be eaten. There are still a lot of residues, and the remaining leaves are soaked by ghosts and can no longer be eaten. As time progresses, their techniques gradually become proficient, and in the end, it is almost like locusts passing through the border without leaving any leaves.

Just like harvesting crops, they gradually sorted out a set of fixed theories about what to eat and what not to eat. Every month or so, a ring belt of about ten meters was harvested, and over time, they harvested The range is widening, and based on the harvesting paths of these people, it can basically be concluded that they live in the middle of this forest.

After continuing to walk for half an hour, Chu Dong and the others suddenly felt a refreshing breeze. They picked up the flashlight and took a closer look. They found that the trees here had not withered, and there were even tender grasses that had just sprout on the ground, and they had accumulated here. The snow is much thinner than outside.

  Hanyang has not seen the sun for a day, and the temperature is ridiculously low. Even in the daytime, the temperature is estimated to be around minus 30 degrees. The snow is difficult to melt, but the snow here has obvious thickness changes.

  Chu Dong squatted on the ground, picked up a lump of snow and rolled it in his hand, "The ghost has disappeared, the snow here has become normal..."

Li Hongxian also twisted a little bit, and then nodded in surprise. The most troublesome thing along the way is not the wandering spirit, but the snow that can be seen everywhere. There is a lot of ghosts in these snows, and if they accidentally get dirty snow These ghosts will stick to the body, like a maggot on the tarsus.

It doesn't do much damage, but it can penetrate the body quietly, because it is fused into the snow block, neither the inner energy nor the pure yang spell has any defensive effect, and in the end it can only consume its own strength to offset it. In a heavy snow, an ordinary warlock may be "drenched" to death by the snow.

This kind of ghost snow should be a special product of Han Yang’s long-term penetration of ghost qi. It changes the attack form of ghost qi, making the living conditions here even more difficult. Short-term exploration is okay, but it really cannot survive for a long time. The foul snow is like a radiation product.

  Chu Dong picked up the flashlight and swept the surrounding woods, and he could roughly deduce the truth of some things.

After the outbreak of the ghost tide, something here sheltered the surrounding area. Its shelter area is a very standard circle, but as time goes by, the shelter area is decreasing visible to the naked eye. It has shrunk by about nine-tenths, and now its shelter is only about 10,000 square meters, less than the size of two football fields.

  Chu Dong glanced into the depths of the woods, and could vaguely see some firelights. He must be a living person living here.

   [There is breathing sound 100 meters away from the left front, relatively weak]

   "Breathing? Come with me!"

It was very quiet in the woods, but the sound of breathing was very weak. Even if Zhinao reminded Chu Dong, he could only hear it when he was about 50 meters away. Finally, Chu Dong found a little girl with a child of about ten years in a straw pile. .

   The girl is skinny, with red complexion, chapped lips and bleeding, dehydration, fever, and severe malnutrition. It can be said that she has entered the gate of **** with both feet, and almost no one can save such a person.

However, this kind of problem is not difficult for Chu Dong. I saw Chu Dong stabbed his finger into the girl's neck, and his brain immediately began to adjust the girl's physical state. Chu Dong is a big deal to this girl. No. Nutrition Pack, Zhinao can purify all the nutrients needed by girls and deliver them to the past. Chu Dong also supported her back with her hands to help her blood flow. After a while, her state calmed down, but it took a while. There is no sign of waking up, her body is too weak, and forcibly waking up is afraid that something will go wrong.

  【The other party has severe growth retardation and should have long-term malnutrition】

  【This kind of malnutrition has continued from birth to the present, not caused by a short period of time】

  【Immature skeletal development, actual age should be between 13-15 years old】

"Thirteen to fifteen? I don't think she's even ten years old. She seems to be hiding something, and the way to cover up the traces is very professional. It should be a child who grew up in the woods. Wait, someone is coming. It's gone!"

Chu Dong put the girl in Hongyan's arms and looked into the depths of the jungle. From small to large, it was a group of ordinary hunters holding torches. These people were wearing jackets, holding bows, arrows and torches. They were strong and steady. , it does not look like malnutrition.

   A team of six people, all of them with extraordinary skills, were walking on the ground in this dense forest, and they ran to Chu Dong in a short while.

A few people stopped not far from Chu Dong. Their eyes first looked at the child in Hongyan's arms, and finally they focused on the armor on Hongyan's body. The fear in their eyes could not be concealed. These ordinary hunters were in Chu. Dong's eyes are as if they are not wearing clothes, and what they think will be reflected in their expressions and bodies.

The head hunter's eyes were a little red, and the red blood in his pupils was also extremely serious. His arm twitched twice involuntarily. He walked up to Chu Dong and asked hesitantly: "My lord in the house? Now you can live outside. Anyone?"

   "Still not, who are you?"

The    man sighed softly, it felt very strange, there was some relief mixed in with disappointment, and he didn't seem to want the outside to return to normal.

"If you go back to the adults, in Xia Alie, he is the captain of the hunting team here. That child belongs to our village. She has been lost for several days. We are looking for her. Lord, please return her to us. It is better for adults to live outside. Come back to the village with us, we are blessed by the gods and are very safe."

Chu Dong's eyes narrowed, the light in his eyes was fleeting, and the next moment, the knife light flashed across the heads of all five people except Allie. , Allie's face turned pale, and before he could touch the bow Chudong's blade in his hand, his wrist was broken.

  Li Hongxian gave Chu Dong a suspicious look, and he asked loudly, "Chu Dong, what are you doing, they are already miserable enough!"

   "Is it miserable enough to be cannibalistic? I don't want to make them live longer for such a person."

  Li Hongxian was shocked and angry, he asked loudly: "What! They eat people?"

"The child's body is so weak that they don't seem to be starving at all. After seeing this child, not only are they not happy, but they have an undesired appetite, saliva is exuberant, and blood gathers like a stomach. , that is the performance of seeing food. After seeing Hongyan's armor, what is revealed is fear, not the joy of being rescued, and they also have obvious manifestations of kuru disease, which is an iron proof of cannibalism! "

Chu Dong glared at Allie, the pressure of Yuwujing was released a little, and Allie knelt on the ground on the spot. He felt that he was not facing a human being at all. How could an ordinary person be able to withstand the pressure in front of Chu Dong? .

He reluctantly pressed his broken hands to the ground and knelt down, "Sir, let me go, we are so hungry, we have to live, they are all willing, we have no choice, no choice. !"

  Li Hongxian jumped up after hearing this, the man broke his sternum and hit a tree not far away, "You bastard!"
