Chapter 47 The Truth

When Li Chenzhou and the others came in earlier, they noticed that the survivors here had different looks in their eyes. Some were desperate and in pain, others were empty, even worse than zombies.

At least the zombies had a desire for food in their eyes, but many of them had no expression at all, and were more like walking corpses than zombies.

The reason for this was here. Before the end of the world, every survivor was at least well-fed, because Qi City was a first-tier city, known for its wealth. Otherwise, Qi City would not have spent so much money to build a resort here.

At the very least, a family with a comfortable life could come to the resort to play, and more than 95% of the families in Qi City could be said to be like this.

It was impossible for them to come here every day, of course, but it was no problem to come once or twice a year, which was enough to prove the superiority of their usual lives.

But such people instantly fell into decline after the end of the world. Some lost their families. Even if they were lucky enough to have their families with them, they still lost their houses and cars.

Originally, under Liu Jinshan's leadership, they could still be assigned housing, food, and water. Although it was not as good as before, they could at least survive.

But after Liu Jinshan was imprisoned, everything changed. They were driven out of the dormitory buildings, out of the hotel rooms, and out of the villas, and thrown here like garbage.

They were like forgotten people. Although it was said that they could live in any of the houses on the commercial street, those houses were all shops, and were not originally designed for living in.

In addition, they didn't bring quilts or anything like that when they came out, and the commercial street had already been emptied, so they could only sleep in containers or on the ground.

This was not the most miserable thing for them. What they never dreamed of was that on the first day they came here, the people who came to deliver food actually carried two sacks of chicken feed...

Those people had mocking and playful expressions on their faces, and they just opened the chicken feed and threw it on the ground, as if they were really feeding chickens. Some people even made "clucking" sounds in their mouths.

At first, none of them accepted this kind of humiliation, allowing the wind to blow the chicken feed everywhere. But as time went by, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In the commercial street, even trees and vegetation were rarely seen. The only thing that could be used as food was the chicken feed that was blown all over the ground by the wind.

So, first a few people couldn't help but secretly put the chicken feed into their mouths with the cover of various movements, and then more people began to do so. In the end, the chicken feed actually caused everyone to scramble.

During the scramble, because of hunger, and because everyone was抢ing, perhaps these survivors did not realize what they were doing. But when the chicken feed on the ground was抢ed clean, they finally reacted and realized what they had just done.

Most people felt ashamed, but even so, they still held on tightly to the chicken feed mixed with dirt that they had managed to抢... This was food, food that could ensure they would not starve to death!!!

In the following days, these survivors spent a life that was like hell to them. Their daily food was still chicken feed, dog food, cat food, and the like, most of which were granular food.

And even this kind of thing that normal people would never eat, they could hardly eat enough of. Seemingly enjoying their抢ing appearance, those who came to "feed" them would not give them too much, and scattered it at will, and then laughed in the car, watching them抢.

After that, they even dragged in corpses, telling them that this was also their food. At the beginning, no one ate them either, but those who delivered the food, seeing that the corpses were still there, stopped giving them food.

When there was no more chicken feed to eat, the hungry survivors finally set their sights on the corpses, and eventually, the corpses turned into skeletons that had been gnawed clean...

Soon, those survivors began to adapt to this kind of life. No matter what was thrown down, as long as it was edible, whether it was chicken feed, cat and dog food, or human corpses, even the human excrement that those guys threw down with a perverse taste, someone would climb over and eat it.

When survival became an instinct, these survivors had subconsciously closed their minds as human beings, because any human being with normal thinking could not accept everything in front of them.

Of course, not everyone was willing to give up their dignity in order to survive, but such people often starved to death in the first few days, and then were eaten as "snacks" by the remaining survivors!

When they were first driven here, there were nearly a thousand survivors, but now, there are probably less than five hundred people left. Some starved to death because they didn't want to live like a human being, and more starved to death because they couldn't抢 enough food, and eventually became food for others.

Even, many people were not actually dead, but were just too weak. But whenever night came, some people would sneak up on such people, and then, amidst some noises, the smell of blood would begin to drift, and this smell of blood would often attract more people to come over.

When they dispersed again, nothing would be left there. Not to mention bones, even the bloodstains on the ground would disappear without a trace!

Zhang Li was only able to save dozens of children, one because she couldn't get too much dog food and cat food, and the other because many of the children were unwilling to come up, because they didn't believe Zhang Li either.

Of course, there were basically none of these children left now, and they had long since become food in other people's stomachs for various reasons!

And Zhang Li and the other children had been watching the bottom from above. They could see clearly what was happening below!

In their eyes, the survivors below should no longer be considered human beings. They were just walking corpses who were trying their best to survive by instinct. Strictly speaking, although they had not yet mutated, they were no different from zombies, and even lived worse than zombies.

At least zombies knew how to hunt, but they were now paralyzed there every day. The only thing that could make them move was the car that came to sprinkle chicken feed every day, and someone who was about to die.

These people now seemed to have a magical instinct, that is, whenever one of them was about to give up, they could always detect it in advance, just like vultures, who could smell the "death aura" emanating from the dying person.

After listening to Zhang Li's narration, Li Chenzhou looked at the survivors lying in the commercial street below. There was no pity or hatred in his eyes, just like he was looking at zombies.

He knew that these people were useless and difficult to save. In his previous life, he had seen many such people. Almost every base had a small or large area where people like this lived...
