Hunger is like a biting poison to humans, and only the antidote "food" can relieve it.

8:19 am

Gerry quietly held a gun and sat on the edge of the farmland. He was still enduring. There were more than 100 people guarding the farmland. Looking at the people around him, Gerry felt something strange. Their gazes

Always keep an eye on the north side of the town.

Now most people have gone to the north of the town. For some people who can't accept it, that place is simply purgatory. At this time, there is another aroma floating in the air, and many people around Gerry are swallowing it.

.

All the food had been exhausted a day ago. Gerry had been hungry for three days. He still had a small piece of potato in his pocket. He was still enduring it. When he performed some military missions in the past, starvation was nothing to him.

But now, in just three days, Gerry felt a feeling worse than death.

This is the 12th day since the disaster occurred. In just 12 days, this place has become a hell on earth. Gerry is unwilling to go north because he knows very well that he is still a human being and must stay awake.

In the past few days, people often couldn't bear to go to the north, and some people went into the forest, but those people never came back, because Gerry knew very well that the only edible things in the nearby forest were some plants.

But in the past few days, it has been almost invisible, and everything that can be eaten has been divided up by more than 10,000 people in the town.

Many people were already so skinny, especially those who were obese, that their clothes could no longer fit. Gerry smiled helplessly. At this time, Bob, who had just finished working behind him, came with people.

"There's absolutely no food left."

Gerry hummed, and Bob's eyes looked a little serious.

"Are you going to come over? Bob."

Bob hesitated for a while, then nodded and said.

"Either starve to death or eat! I prefer to choose the former. If and when I can't maintain my rationality, I will get over it."

Gerry didn't say anything else, just nodded silently. He knew very well that he was about to collapse after just three days of starvation, let alone a few more weeks, waiting for the potatoes in the field to mature, and let Gerry feel

Worryingly, some people who have recently arrived in the town have said that they experienced several rains when they came, and then saw a large number of plants withered.

This is what Gerry is most worried about. A large amount of radioactive material will fall with the rain and cause extremely serious pollution to the plants on the ground. On the day of the disaster, Gerry and his army responded quickly, and the fact is that

Countries launched thousands of nuclear bombs to stop asteroids that suddenly fell rapidly.

Although the asteroid still fell, the huge impact of the nuclear explosion slowed down the asteroid's fall. In the end, the asteroid decomposed and the planet survived. However, what is terrible is the super nuclear disaster that occurred after the nuclear explosion.

.

Gerry had learned these things in military courses, because modern wars are always accompanied by nuclear weapons and the dangers they cause, and Gerry knew all too well.

The disaster will continue to expand. Gerry just wants to do everything possible to build a field where crops can be grown before the disaster continues to expand, then harvest the crops and hide deeper in the mountain forest. This is

The only way to temporarily avoid this catastrophe.

"I won't be able to hold on."

Gerry murmured to himself. He looked at Bob and others planning to go back to rest and save energy. They need to maintain the farmland every day. In the past few days, Bob felt that the temperature was getting lower and lower. Now they could only rely on

The car's engine is used to provide power, and a heat-conducting rod is used to increase the temperature of the crop shed that has been gradually built.

The previous plan to attack the mine was shelved, because everyone knew that no one wanted to die, and it was not easy to survive. From the beginning of the dispute over the means of attack, everyone became silent because of hunger.

In the past few days, in the north of the town, some people who have done that kind of thing have become leaders. Now they seem to be making some rules. There are still more than half of the people in the north of the town who are unwilling to go there, but next

The whole town should turn into a slaughterhouse.

At this time, more than ten people ran over in a hurry. Gerry looked at their panic expressions, and a man came over and said immediately.

"Gerry, hurry up and take a look and stop it."

Gerry didn't know what was going on, so he took more than 30 people with him and headed toward the south of the town with weapons. Many people were making noises. At this time, at the door of an auditorium, a man was crying.

He kept saying something, but he was tied up by several people and stripped of his clothes.

"No, no, no..."

"The only thing to blame is your bad luck. Didn't you eat it every day in the past few days?"

A man holding a bright butcher knife walked over. The man screamed in horror, while many people around him were silent.

"What are you going to do?"

Gerry asked, and then the man holding the butcher knife explained.

Everyone who wants to eat in the south of the town must draw lots every day, only for those who have eaten the food, and once they are drawn, it will become food.

"Now you know, except for children and young women, everyone else has to draw lots, including myself."

The man holding the butcher knife said, and took out his lottery result from his arms, which said LIFE. In the clothes of the stripped man, there was a piece of paper with the word DIE written on it. The man screamed in horror.

.

"There is no other way. If we want to survive, we have to do this. After all, if we wait for the crops to be planted, all of us will starve to death, but this method can allow us to persevere until the crops are planted."

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gerry stared blankly at the man holding the butcher knife walking over. The man was still crying, but many people around him stopped.

He made a sound, but turned around silently, as if no one heard this man's cry for help.

Because everyone present knew that what the man with the butcher knife said was true. They couldn't survive a day without food.

Gerry held the gun in his hand and pointed it at the man, and the others followed suit, but at this time the man laughed.

"You can shoot if you want. If I die, I will become food. But everyone agrees with this rule. Even if I die, someone will take my place."

Finally, Gerry closed his eyes, and with a burst of screams, several people carried large basins to collect the blood. Within a few minutes, the tied man died.

Gerry turned around and started walking with the people, and soon he returned to the main road northeast of the town. Then Gerry continued walking, and Bob woke up and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

Gerry didn't answer, he just continued walking, and many people followed him.

"Finally, go and have a good talk with them."

9:03 am

Verla woke up from a comfortable and soft leather cushion. She yawned and looked at the small wooden house where miners used to live. There were some simple furnishings in it. There was already a burst of fragrance from outside. Verla stood up.

Come on, as soon as I walked out, the aunt who was making breakfast outside shouted.

"Come quickly and eat Verla."

Verla walked over with a smile, took a piece of pancake and a cup of mixed milk tea, then sat on a chair outside the cabin and started eating.

In the past few days, Verla has been assigning some tasks and assigning some groups to involve all the townspeople in management, and teaching some townspeople how to use weapons. At this time, Redes came over with someone.

"I think it's almost done, Virla, after all..."

"It's not time yet, just starve them for a few more days."

Vila stood up as he spoke, and at this moment a member of the guard ran over.

"They're coming up."

Immediately everyone became alert, and Verla ran away with a gun, followed by many people around him.

"Only one person?"

Verla, who came to the top of the slope, looked at the man walking up the slope, walking up step by step with his hands raised, and immediately Redes shouted through the loudspeaker.

"Stop it now, or I'll blow your head off."

At this time, Gerry also saw Vierra on the slope. He looked at it in shock, but still walked up step by step with his hands raised in silence. Faced with the weapon pointed at him, Gerry was not timid at all, because

He knew that although the townspeople took away the food, they would eventually become the same as the town without producing anything after a few months.

The alluring smell of milk and wheat in the air made Gerry swallow continuously. He was going crazy. He had not had any contact with normal food for more than ten days.

"Everyone put down their weapons."

Vila said, looking at the man walking over, she laughed at this time.

"What? Do you want to join us?"

Gerry shook his head and then knelt on the ground.

"Please give us some food, just give us a little, please."

Vila stared at Gerry sideways, and Redes on the side immediately spoke.

"You have killed many of us. If you had stayed outside honestly in the beginning, you would still have had some food to eat every day. This is what you asked for."

Gerry looked at Vila.

"Miss, you should know what the situation is in that town now. Even if you have plenty of food now, what about a few months from now? We have already planted seeds in the planting fields. We only need more than a month to wait for the potatoes to mature.

There is a food crisis, and now the disaster has spread here. If the disaster really comes, nothing can be grown here."

Gerry then explained, clearly telling Verla and the others about some of the actual hazards after a nuclear explosion, as well as what kind of harm would be caused by the clouds that are now covering the sky.

"Get him something to eat."

Vila ordered, and someone immediately went to do it. Redes wanted to say something, but Vila raised his hand to stop him.

Soon Gerry looked at a plate of hot toast and a cup of milk tea. He kept saying thank you and started eating excitedly. After eating, Gerry felt dizzy and then passed out directly on the ground.
