Chapter 1 No Prey

It's getting later and later, and it won't be long before night falls, completely covering the entire land.

Chen Fan stood in the crowd, and like most people, he stood on tiptoes and looked hard at the horizon in the distance.

Deep in the wilderness, the roars of ferocious beasts can be heard from time to time.

If the hunting team cannot get back to the bunker before it gets completely dark, what they will face is boundless darkness and ferocious beasts that can attack at any time and anywhere.

Suddenly, Chen Fan felt his arm tighten. He looked down and saw that it was his mother next to him, with a pale face, grabbing his arm, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Mom, don't worry, dad and the others will be back soon, just now."

He comforted softly.

The woman nodded, then raised her head and looked eagerly into the distance.

Chen Fan glanced around, seeing anxiety and panic written all over the faces of hundreds of people.

He sighed inwardly. He didn't know why, but he just took a nap on the subway. When he woke up, he traveled here. Today is the second day after he traveled here.

This world is similar to the previous life. The difference is that ten years ago, the heaven and earth changed. The birds and animals, including flowers, plants and trees, have all changed. Not only have they grown in size, but they have also become cruel, bloodthirsty and extremely aggressive.

Among humans, there are awakened people. Their mental power is far beyond that of ordinary people, and they can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Some top awakened people are not afraid of thermal weapons and can destroy a town in a previous life with a single blow.

Of course, there are very few awakened people. Where they are, cities are gradually forming, attracting survivors. I heard that some large cities have electricity, Internet, delicious food, and clean water just like they did ten years ago.

, people still take the subway to work, working from nine to five, as they did in the past.

After all, resources are limited. The vast majority of ordinary people are not qualified to enter cities, even small cities. They can only form strongholds to protect themselves and resist the vicious beasts.

Not to mention electricity, even the most basic life safety cannot be guaranteed. There is a lack of food, medicine, energy, and daily necessities. We walk on the edge of life and death all day long.

For example, the original owner of the body couldn't bear the hunger anymore, so he sneaked out, ate unknown fruits in the wild, had a high fever for three days, and finally died, letting him take over the body.

"Could it be that something really happened?"

He couldn't help clenching his fists.

At this moment, excited shouts came from the seven-eight-meter-high wooden watchtower nearby, "They're coming! They're coming!"

"Really!"

"Where is it? Why didn't you see it?"

"People can see far when they stand high, but we will be able to see it soon."

"Great, I'm finally back."

The crowd was completely excited. Looking far into the distance, I could see some small black dots slowly appearing on the horizon, getting closer and closer. Everyone was relieved, and the smiles on their faces became thicker and thicker.

However, as the team approached, the smiles on people's faces gradually solidified.

I saw a group of more than ten people, holding bows, arrows and spears, looking embarrassed. Several of them were being helped to walk, and some were carrying people on their backs. Even those who were walking normally had more or less colorful decorations on their bodies.

As far as I could see, there was no prey.

The more astute people discovered that the number of people was still a few short.

The team slowly approached and stopped in front of the suspension bridge. The leader had a square face and a stern expression. There were several bloody wounds on his right arm, but at this moment, his face was full of guilt.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The man licked his chapped lips and whispered: "I'm sorry, this time, we encountered two intermediate-level ferocious beasts. They suddenly attacked us. Not only did we lose our original prey, Zhuzi, Ahua, Xiaogao and the others...

"

Before they finished speaking, several people in the crowd felt dizzy and fainted.

The crowd suddenly became commotion, and the people around him picked up the fainted person and took him home.

The other people in the hunting team also lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look into the eyes of the old, weak, women and children.

Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.

Dead person?

Three of them died at once.

It seems that in the memory of the original owner, this was the one with the greatest casualties.

The square-faced man named as the leader is the father of the original owner of the body and the leader who led everyone to build this earthen castle.

Sparse voices sounded, some sobbing, some sighing, and some speaking to comfort them.

The hunting team slowly entered, and the suspension bridge in front of the door was also pulled up. The entire camp was surrounded by a wall more than three meters high, making it appear impregnable, giving people a rare sense of security.

The wives and children of the injured man were heartbroken when they saw the man being seriously injured, but they were secretly grateful when they thought of the few people who went out with him in the morning but never came back at night.

Those who suffered only minor injuries took their families and left. After a while, the sky had completely darkened, and the entire camp was plunged into darkness. Only the faint moonlight could help to see the surroundings clearly.

"Guodong, your arm."

The woman grabbed the square-faced man's right arm and shed two lines of tears in her eyes.

Chen Fan walked over. He had just traveled through time for a few days, and he was still a little uncomfortable with this identity.

"I'm fine."

Chen Guodong shook his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If I could have discovered those two beasts earlier, Zhuzi and the others wouldn't, and they wouldn't..."

"Snapped!"

A big, solid hand patted his shoulder, and a bald man comforted him: "Guodong, this is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame this damn world. Those of us who survived."

, sooner or later there will be such a day."

"Go back and rest early."

He patted the latter's shoulder again, then smiled at the serious-looking Chen Fan, and went back with his family.

"Dad, go back first."

Chen Fan said aloud: "My brother is still at home."

Chen Guodong was startled and nodded.

The entire bunker fell into a deathly silence. In the nearby room, the firelight danced, and from time to time there were crackling sounds and feeble conversations.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat more."

"Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you sleep."

"But am I really hungry?"

"Be obedient, if you eat those things, you will really have nothing to eat."

The voice gradually weakened.

Chen Guodong's face became more and more guilty.

Chen Fan caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly. Although his father was taciturn, he was an upright and kind-hearted person.

Every time there was prey, it was divided equally among the people in the village, and the old, weak, women and children were raised, so that the family was stretched thin, which made many people complain.

Recently, we have had bad luck and there have been very few prey. There is not much food in the entire village, and everyone is suffering from hunger.
