Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 35

After everyone had eaten, they sat around the fire and listened to Ming Ji's ravings.Everyone also wanted to say a few more words, but they didn't have much energy.Yuan Dingfang is better, but he is a taciturn person.

Ming Ji was tired after talking for a while, waved his hands and said, "Everyone, let's rest and recharge our batteries, so we can go find something to eat tomorrow."

The cave is very large, and there are several animal skins and some hay on the ground.They each found a place to lie down or sit.Yuan Dingfang naturally sat down next to Chen Zhuxia, Xiaoyun looked at the two of them, and wanted to join them, but felt that it was not suitable.When she was hesitating, Wang Ke smiled and waved to her, and Xiao Yun hurried over.

"Go to sleep." Chen Zhuxia was indeed tired, he didn't sleep well last night, and today he climbed the mountain all day during the day.

She lay down on the haystack on the spot, and slowly closed her eyes.

On the other side, Deng Yun and Gao Qiang leaned together, Gu Gong and Ming Ji squeezed together.

Early the next morning, Ming Ji, Yuan Dingfang, Chen Zhuxia and others who were in good health went out to look for food.Wang Ke and Xiao Yun stayed to take care of the patients.

On the way, Yuan Dingfang deliberately distanced himself from Mingji and quietly asked Chen Zhuxia for advice.

"Should we stay with them, or leave?" Chen Zhuxia hesitated, and asked back, "What do you think?"

"They all have their own strengths, and they have good personalities. There is no harm in staying." Yuan Dingfang said realistically.

Chen Zhuxia nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.It is not easy for a few of them to survive in the troubled times.Character should be trustworthy.Humans are social animals after all, although the three of them can survive, it is not a long matter after all.

"But..." Chen Zhuxia's tone was a little hesitant, she was referring to the matter of her own space.

Yuan Ding Fanglue pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I guess there will be more people with supernatural powers in the future, and you should not be as conspicuous as before. Let alone me?"

"Let's do this for the time being. If you want to leave in the future, you can leave at any time." The two decided for the time being.

The two wandered around, digging some wild vegetables and even grass and leaves.Plants also have variations, but they are much better than animals.When a certain amount of plants had been collected, Deng Yun and Chen Zhuxia were sent back by them.Yuan Dingfang and Mingji went hunting in the woods.

On the way back, Deng Yun jokingly said to Chen Zhuxia: "You two seem to be still standing still."

"At this time, I don't have the heart to think about anything else." Chen Zhuxia said perfunctorily.

Deng Yun giggled and said, "Your way of thinking is wrong. The more you have to hurry up at this time, who knows what will happen tomorrow?" He said with a sad smile: "Just like me and Gao Qiang, who knows that he will won't wake up."

Chen Zhuxia was silent, with a thoughtful expression.

After the two returned to the cave, the four began to work separately.They cleaned the hole first.Chen Zhuxia noticed that the four walls of this cave are made of granite, which looks extremely solid.The cave is wide and tortuous, and the middle area is very open, extending in four directions, north, south, east, and west.Chen Zhuxia nodded and said, "You really know how to find a place."

Deng Yun said: "That's right, we have searched for many places, and only this one is suitable. It is closer to the water source and far away from the forest. More importantly, it is strong and convenient."

"By the way, didn't you guys say you were going to Tibet? Why did you get here?" Wang Ke and Deng Yun looked at each other and sighed at the same time, "When we went there, the plague broke out, and the way to Tibet was blocked. It was blocked. We also heard that there are many big people who have entered Tibet, and there is really a mysterious base near the Himalayas. The specific situation is not very clear. Later, we had nowhere to go, and there was danger everywhere. I thought of you two, and said that there is nowhere to go anyway, so I might as well come to Xinjiang."

Wang Ke tentatively asked again: "Zhu Xia, will you two stay?" Chen Zhuxia replied with a twinkle in his eyes, "Let's talk about it then."

"I hope you can stay. One is that we human beings are getting fewer and fewer, so it is better to unite together. Second, we trust you two. In fact, there are many survivors who request to join our team on the way, but, in After so much betrayal and suffering, it is impossible for us to be as kind and trusting as before. So we all refused. But you are different, and we are old acquaintances, aren't we?"

Chen Zhuxia smiled, it was better that they were the only people she met on the way of escape.

"I'll think about it. Let's prepare lunch." The four of them started to get busy again.

Xiaoyun was about to go out to dry the dry grass in the cave, when she saw Wang Ke holding her nervously, and said in a hurried voice: "You two, come quickly and help me block the cave door." The four of them worked together to close the cave door. plug up.Just as Xiaoyun was about to ask what was going on, there was a terrifying death roar from outside.Chen Zhuxia looked out through the gap at the entrance of the cave, and saw five or six large animals like bison walking around their cave with solid and heavy steps, sniffing with their noses outstretched.They seemed to know that there were people in the cave, and they roared at them together.The four of them held their breath and remained motionless.

The buffalo came roaring towards the entrance of the cave, and the sound shook their eardrums.One of the bison tentatively arched the stone door of the cave with its mouth, and sniffed for a while, as if it smelled something exciting, it mooed to the other bison.Then the six bison seemed to have reached a consensus, and began to smash the stone with their horns as hard as iron.The stones at the entrance of the cave are very big and heavy, and they usually need several people to push them together.However, the size of these bison shows that this is nothing to them.

Wang Ke's face changed slightly, none of the four made a sound, they just pushed the stone away desperately.The strength of the six bison was so great that the stone began to push in little by little.Every bit the stone advances adds another level of excitement to the bison.The four of them were panting with exhaustion, their ears buzzing from the roaring outside the cave.

"I don't know what happened to Mingji and Dingfang?" Deng Yun said in a low voice.

"They should be fine." Chen Zhuxia took the time to comfort her.

Suddenly, the bison outside the cave seemed to have been frightened violently, and there was a burst of restlessness, and then there was the scream of the bison.The pressure on them also eased a lot.Chen Zhuxia looked out through the gap, it was Yuan Dingfang and Mingji who had returned.Yuan Dingfang held a steel knife and rushed into the herd of cattle, slashing left and right, followed by Dan Ji.Suddenly, a cow seemed to have gone crazy, and ran straight towards Mingji with red eyes.

"Mingji, be careful!" Wang Ke shouted loudly, and Chen Zhuxia was also extremely nervous.The brute force of this bison is so great that if it collides with a human body, it must be impaled on the spot.Yuan Dingfang turned around quickly, dodged to Mingji's side, turned around again, and stood in front of Mingji.

"Dingfang—" Chen Zhuxia shouted loudly. Although she felt that people could help others when they could, she didn't advocate giving up oneself to save others.Although Yuan Dingfang's body has mutated, he is still a body of flesh and blood, and this collision will definitely destroy all internal organs.

"Brother Yuan, how could he do this—" Wang Ke cried out in a tearful tone.Deng Yun also wiped away tears.

"Boom—" the buffalo's horn hit Yuan Dingfang's chest, making a loud noise.Yuan Dingfang fell to the ground on his back with a plop.I don't know what the situation is.Chen Zhuxia was worried for a while.She wants to go out and see!
"Dingfang——" Mingji watched Yuan Dingfang fall down trying to save himself, his eyes turned red immediately, and he swung his knife desperately, poking at Niu's eyes.The cow that was poked screamed in pain.

"Let's go, let's each take the guys and go out to help." Wang Keda said awe-inspiringly, she quickly picked up the knife, and Deng Yun wiped away tears and started to act.The four pushed the stone away together.

Before leaving, Chen Zhuxia caught sight of a pile of dry firewood in the corner.She quickly lit the firewood and said to the others with a fire stick in her hand: "We attack with fire."

"Okay." The other three also carried firewood and threw it at the cow as soon as they left the cave.This kind of bison has very long hair, and as soon as the firewood is thrown on it, it will ignite.

Beating the bison with their tails didn't work at all. They mooed in pain one by one. Some simply ran out to find water, and some rolled on the spot.

Excluding the ones that ran away, there were still three left on the scene, and several of them stepped forward and slashed wildly with big knives without risking their lives.Yuan Dingfang got up again and joined the battle.

After a hard fight, three of the four cows died, and one was dying.

"How are you, Dingfang?" Mingji asked with his hands on his neck, panting.Several other people looked at Yuan Dingfang with concern.

"It's okay." Yuan Dingfang patted his chest and said indifferently.Chen Zhuxia kept silent with a cold face, stepped forward and touched the place where the bull had hit, turned her face and said.

"Quick, come on, drag the cow back to the cave, so as not to attract other beasts." Six people dragged and dragged the cow back to the cave bit by bit.

The last two could not be moved, so Yuan Dingfang suggested digging a hole in the ground and burying them first, and then deal with them when there is time.

Wait until everything is done.Everyone entered the cave together and put stones on the door.Yuan Dingfang originally wanted to make some reinforcements for the entrance of the cave, but when Chen Zhuxia looked at him, he seemed to want to talk to him.Then he put down his tools again, and followed up staggeringly: "Zhu Xia?"

"You've become more and more like the holy father lately." Chen Zhuxia strode in. The cave is very big, and it's easy to find a place to talk.

"I do not have."

"No? Didn't you sacrifice yourself to save others just now? Could it be that my eyes are blurred?" Chen Zhuxia's tone was full of teasing and irony.

"Zhu Xia, I—" Yuan Dingfang blushed and explained.

"I'm just testing how strong my body is. I'm measured. You see, I've never done this before. If you don't want to, I won't do it in the future—I'm nobody but you. save."
