Chapter 43: Self
Amid the gunshot, a mutant's head exploded on the spot and the body fell to the ground.
Chu Su kept walking forward, moving calmly towards the sweet potato field. The gun roared in his hands one after another, and in a blink of an eye, five mutants were sent to the west.
Only then did he stop and reload ammunition for the shotgun.
Some mutants stopped, looked at the corpses of similar types, and then looked at Chu Su and the four middle-aged men. They hesitated, but more mutants rushed towards this side without any chance.
Chu Su loaded the bullets in a hurry and suddenly raised his gun. As the gunshots rang, the five mutants who rushed the fastest fell to the ground and died.
But at this time, he had no time to reload the ammunition again. He simply threw the shotgun casually, pulled out the pistol, and shot with his left and right hands at the same time. In an instant, more than a dozen mutant people's small heads were broken and died in front of him.
He shot forward while pushing forward. In this way, he pushed into the field. After the pistol was completely shot, he shrank his hand, moved the handle of the pistol to the position of his pocket, bounced out the magazine and fell into the bag, then took out two magazines from his pocket and put them into the gun, and then fired at the mutant with the gun.
When the four middle-aged men saw that the mutant could not rush over under his firepower, they felt relieved and hurriedly squatted in the ground and began to dig sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, usually look bigger than potatoes and are delicious. The key is that there is no problem to eat them raw. Using them to fill your stomach is indeed a good choice.
Chu Su fired continuously, and then changed the magazine. In a blink of an eye, he killed dozens of mutants nearby. In the distance, on the other side of the village, the mutants were still chewing on the spot. Obviously, because they had food in their mouths, they lost interest in similar corpses here.
In fact, the best time to kill them is at night. But Chu Su didn't want to waste too much time. At night, he had other things to do.
Amidst panic and fear, the four middle-aged strong men quickly dug out a few sacks of sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes are not big yet, but they are enough to make up for everything. Besides, they are now helping them. Whether they are not ripe or not, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they are better than anything else.
"Okay, Xiao Chu, let's go!" Lao Mi was the first to stand up and shouted at Chu Su. Chu Su nodded, turned around and walked towards the village with two pistols, and picked up the shotgun he threw on the ground on the way, and put on bullets as he walked.
When the four middle-aged men returned to the village, their families immediately rushed up and surrounded them, each of them burst into tears.
Under Lao Mi's host, the nine families divided the sweet potatoes evenly, took them together, and went home happily to cook. Not long after, an attractive fragrance wafted out of each house - I have to admit that the sweet potatoes tasted really good.
"Well, Xiao Chu, come to my house for dinner!" Yu Xiaofeng's father came over and greeted Chu Su enthusiastically. "You have been busy for most of the day and have given us all the food you brought. Are you hungry? Let's go, don't be polite!"
Chu Su nodded. He also needed to replenish his energy.
Sweet potatoes are very sweet, but they are prone to thirst after eating them. Chu Su ate and drank, but Yu Xiaofeng stopped him: "No, the stomach is full of water, not really full, and the strength will be used up soon."
"Yes, yes." Xiaofeng's mother nodded with a smile. "Eat first, eat after eating, then drink. When we go to the field to work, we will be like this. Otherwise, we will be hungry before noon."
Chu Su nodded silently and ate quietly.
Yu Xiaofeng was on the side, secretly looking at the back of his right hand from time to time. When Chu Su paid attention to her, she hurriedly turned her head aside.
"I'm full." Chu Su stood up after eating the last piece of sweet potato in his hand. "Please prepare a bottle of water for me, and then put a few sweet potatoes in a bag. I'm going to the city first."
"Go to the city?" Xiaofeng's father was surprised, "Then we..."
"Do you think there will be cars at the bus station on the road?" Chu Su said calmly, "Do you think you can walk all the way to the city with your legs? Maybe you can, but the elderly in the village definitely can't. If you are willing to leave them behind, I can't come to the city without getting a car."
"That's a trip!" Xiaofeng's mother nodded in agreement, and Xiaofeng's father frowned: "The country sent you here, why don't you drive a car?"
"Dad!" Yu Xiaofeng glared at her father with a angrily look, and hesitantly looked at the back of Chu Su's hand, as if he wanted to tell the identity Chu Su claimed.
"Let's talk about the details later. Help me prepare the water and food first." Chu Su said.
Yu Xiaofeng immediately stood up, found a small woven bag, filled a bunch of sweet potatoes, then found an old marching pot, went to the kitchen to fill a few water, then carried the kettle and stood next to Chu Su with a woven bag: "I'll take you there, you don't recognize the way."
Xiaofeng’s parents’ expressions changed suddenly.
"Okay." Chu Su nodded and said to the couple: "You have a brave daughter. Everyone in the village should thank her."
"Then..." Xiaofeng's father hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "Child, be careful on the road, listen to Xiao Chu's words..."
"Don't worry." Yu Xiaofeng smiled, took Chu Su's hand and went out.
When Chu Su and Yu Xiaofeng left the village, the villagers all ran over to see it. Some people asked anxiously: "Xiao Chu, Xiaofeng, where are you going?"
"Brother Chu is going to the city and drive the car to pick everyone up!" Yu Xiaofeng turned around and shouted loudly: "Don't worry everyone! We will be back soon!"
When the villagers saw them leaving together, they were worried, but they could not chase them out or stop them. They had to stare at them in a daze. The hope of being rescued seemed to have become slim again.
Walking through the fields covered with dead bodies, Chu Su turned his head and silently looked at the mutant people who had already calmed down in the distance. They had greatly satisfied their stomachs and intestines in the struggle between food. It seemed that for a moment, there was no idea of attacking anyone, and they looked harmless.
"These guys are so scary." Yu Xiaofeng was still a little scared. "Brother Chu, are you... what you said really true? Are all the people in the world really turned into monsters? If so, then these monsters... Oh my God, you asked me if there are any villages nearby... Could it be that these monsters are transformed by the villagers in the village?"
"It should be." Chu Su nodded and replied only this. He was not in the mood to chat now, but just took big steps through nearly a thousand meters of fields and returned to the mountains and forests.
"The work of leading the way is left to you." He signaled Yu Xiaofeng to walk in front, and then shook the gun in his hand: "Don't be afraid, it and I will protect you."
Yu Xiaofeng nodded silently, and said nothing, but took Chu Su all the way. Not long after, the two of them arrived on a mountain path and walked along the mountain road.
Eight miles of roads are not long or short. It is said that they are not long because on flat ground, normal people can walk it in only one hour at most; it is said that they are not short because when this road is in dense forests and in mountains, it will become extremely long.
Because this distance is a straight line distance, which refers to how long is the straight line from the village to the road.
However, the mountain road is tortuous and twists. No one knows how long it is, but it will at least double it.
When the road was halfway through, it was already dark. Chu Su looked up at the sun going west and asked Yu Xiaofeng: "Are you afraid?"
"With you protection, of course I'm not afraid anymore." Yu Xiaofeng replied. Her voice trembled a little, and Chu Su could of course hear that he was afraid. He just smiled.
After walking for a while, the sky finally turned completely dark and the moon slowly rose to the sky, but it was difficult to shine into the dense forest with prosperous branches.
Chu Su took out the infrared night vision goggles - before coming this time, he thought about it and brought it with him. The night is terrible darkness for mutants, and the same is true for Chu Su, who is a normal person. But he did not put it on himself, but called Yu Xiaofeng.
"Put this on." He pulled Yu Xiaofeng over and put his night vision goggles on her head, and after adjusting it, he covered her eyes.
"What is this?" Yu Xiaofeng was immediately surprised after putting on her night vision goggles, looked around and shouting in surprise: "Why... why did I see everything? But why is everything green? Oh, your eyes are shining!"
"This is called an infrared night vision goggles." Chu Su said, "It is specially used to see things in the dark. Because it is infrared imaging, it is green. You lead the way in front and you can walk faster with it."
"It's so magical..." Yu Xiaofeng muttered and walked forward, and she did go faster, but Chu Su had to catch up with it with great care, but it was even more difficult.
"How wonderful the outside world is." Yu Xiaofeng sighed as she walked. "There are planes that can fly into the sky, three-dimensional games like real people, such a large cinema, and something that can make people see the darkness clearly... But is such a wonderful and beautiful world... ruined like this?"
There was a sense of sadness in her words. Chu Su listened quietly and suddenly felt a little moved.
Why don’t I feel like her? Why did I just think about how I survive when I knew that the whole world had become a paradise for monsters?
That's because in her eyes, the world is beautiful, and it's a pity to lose this beauty. And in my eyes, the world...
He smiled faintly.
In my eyes, is there any world? When the last relative dies, when I take revenge...
What is the world? It was no longer important to me at that time.
So, why did I live after that?
He thought silently and finally had an answer - yes, since revenge, I have just lived for the sake of living. I want freedom, but what is the use of freedom? What is the meaning? I just want freedom, I want to continue to live, that's it.
So what about now?
He looked at the little girl's back and listened to her attachment to a beautiful world, and suddenly he had an idea -
I want to be the true God, the greatest Creator, and the person who created beautiful civilizations!
That is not for struggling to survive, not for winning, but for realizing oneself!
