Chapter 112 The world is too bitter
After following the people in secret, walking two or three kilometers in the jungle, Chen Yi saw the survivor camp. He did not approach him rashly, but quietly observed with a telescope in the distance.
The camp is at the foot of a mountain that is 100 meters high, surrounded by lush trees and vegetation, and you can't find it even if you are a little far away. If you weren't following those people, Chen Yi would probably have to rely on luck to find it.
"Survival is wisdom everywhere. Survival camps are built here. Lush plants block their sight and cannot detect the danger of getting close at the first time. But isn't that lush vegetation a kind of protection? After all, danger is often not limited to coming from the ground!"
Looking at the sky covered by dense tree canopy and looking at the survivor camp, Chen Yi was a little more profound about the way to survive in the end of the world. If the vegetation around the camp was cleared, they would indeed be able to broaden their horizons, but they would also expose them to the blue sky and white sun.
There is a cave about two meters high at the foot of the mountain. I think that cave is where survivors live. As long as you block the entrance of the cave, the safety factor will be increased linearly.
As for ventilation and retreat after blocking the hole, Chen Yi believes that there must be a reason why the survivor camp was established here, and people cannot imagine this.
There is an open area outside the entrance of the cave, about the size of two basketball courts, surrounded by a circle of walls made of soil, stone and wood. The wall is about four meters high and one or two meters thick. It looks very strong and solid. The wall on the outside is straight and smooth, and the gaps are filled with soil. It should be to prevent zombies and animals from climbing. After all, the wall is not poured from concrete, so it cannot really make people have nowhere to start.
There are people patrolling and guarding every ten meters on the wall. These patrolers have weapons such as machetes, axes, spears, bows and arrows, but they are relatively simple, and most of them are obviously made by homemade. For example, spears, just a sharp knife on the top of the wooden stick, and for example, bows and arrows, they are just a few bamboo pieces and bent. Chen Yi seriously doubts whether such weapons can protect the camp. If there are a few gray wolfs I have seen from afar before, with such weapons, there is probably no other way except to fill them with people.
"This is just what I saw. The dead middle-aged man said that they had been here for more than a year and must have means and defensive means that I don't know. We can't draw conclusions based on what we see..."
There were two or three hundred people scattered on the open space within the fence. When Chen Yi saw the open space with people, he suddenly felt sank.
Most of the two or three hundred people were dressed in rags and thin. They were like walking corpses. Some lay down on the ground and stared at the sky in a daze, while some were wandering around with empty eyes and numb expressions, looking lifeless.
These are second, the most important thing is some other people, they are simply not human!
Those people should be the "upper-level" figures in the camp. They dress much better and have a stronger body than most people. When Chen Yi was observing, such people were having fun.
Their way of having fun was based on other people. Some people were constantly whipping a ragged person with a stick. The other party was beaten to the ground and screaming. The person who hit people laughed and hugged his companions who were holding hands from time to time seemed to show their own "force" and happiness was based on the pain of others. The people who watched were watching with interest and discussed a few sentences from time to time, as if they thought this was quite fun.
Some people are also forcing others to do push-up exercises. They are obviously as thin as skinny, but they still force the other person by beating them. They will be beaten when they stop. They don’t treat him as a human being.
There is something even more excessive. Several big men took turns to do undescribable things around a woman, without any hesitation in front of others, completely ignoring the life and death of the woman. The degree of disgusting makes people feel sick...
All of this seems to be accustomed to the people in the camp. Those people at the bottom are already numb. As long as they are not themselves, they will hardly even look at them. The empty eyes make people feel cold and their bodies tremble. They can't imagine what they have experienced to ignore the pictures around them!
Chen Yi didn't know what hell was like, but he felt that the various pictures in the camp were tantamount to those at the bottom.
"I'll fight you guys!"
At this moment, a scream of despair sounded in the open space. Then Chen Yi saw that the woman who was forced to be indescribable by several men suddenly burst out and attacked a man who raped her wildly. She held the other person's neck tightly and bit her neck with blood flowing, allowing people around to beat her or even cut her. The madness in her wide eyes made people tremble, even fiercer than hungry wolves, and even crazy than zombies!
Although she was crazy enough, she was just a thin woman after all, and was forced to be pulled apart by someone, and her hands were cut off.
Even so, the woman who was pulled open still bit off the flesh and blood on the violent man's neck with her mouth, and the picture was shocking.
"Grass!" The man who was attacked held his neck with one hand, and blood flowed from the side and stabbed it into the woman's chest. One knife was not enough, he drew his sword and stabbed him again, venting his anger one after another.
The people around them who were also violent did not stop them, and even had a look of pity on their faces. It seemed that another "toy" was ruined. As for the injuries on their companions' neck, they didn't mind, and seemed to be laughing at him for being so careless.
That woman couldn't live anymore. At the last moment of her life, she was actually smiling. Looking at the sky, she was relieved of that smile.
From afar, Chen Yi saw the woman with a telescope. Her bloody mouth opened and closed silently, as if she was saying something. Chen Yi didn't understand the lips, but at this moment he seemed to understand what the other party was saying. He murmured his last words according to the other party's mouth shape: "The world is too bitter. If there are eighteen levels of hell, I must go and see after I die, whether the eighteen levels of hell are more bitter and darker than this world..."
Unable to bear to look directly, Chen Yi put down his telescope and stopped looking there. He leaned against the tree trunk. He looked at the sky through the dense leaves. His heart seemed to be pinched hard, making him feel breathless and his eyes blurred. He himself didn't know why there were so many tears in his eyes.
"How much despair would you say that before you die. The world is too painful. If there are eighteen levels of hell, she wants to see if it is more painful and darker than this world..."
Murmuring to himself, Chen Yi's body curled up and his heart thrust.
He has seen the environment of the end of the world in film and television works, but the film and television works are too beautifying human nature and hearts, and they dare not shoot too many things. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he knows what the real end of the world is like. This is not the end of the world, but the real hell!
The woman there died, and did not cause much trouble. The numb person was still numb. Her life was as worthless as the weeds on the ground. When she died, her head was chopped off, and her body was dug a deep pit on the edge of the open space. The blood was quickly cleaned up. The last trace of her in this world was wiped out. As for the person who bit a piece of flesh on her neck, she cursed and bandaged it.
The woman's experience was not the first, nor the last. In the future, the man would still live to commit violence against others. Her death had no meaning, and it would only pass on the anger to others.
In that open space, there are more than one trace of burying people...
Those who went out returned to the camp and were not surprised by the scene in their eyes. The food they collected was quickly taken away, and people separated and waited numbly for the night to come. Perhaps the dark night could cover up the dirty world.
Chen Yi in the distance was still silent. He had never encountered such a thing before. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how many places similar scenes were staged in the same moment in the world.
Dangdangdang~!
I don’t know how long it took, but a pounding sound came from the camp to wake Chen Yi up.
At this time, the tears in Chen Yi's eyes had dried up at some point. He looked over with a stiff expression, not knowing what was going on there.
It was not that something happened there, but someone carried two large iron pots and several large frames of bowls and chopsticks from the cave.
It turned out to be the meal time.
The sound of knocking was like calling a dog. The numb lower-level people in the open space stood up like walking corpses, and then lined up to get food.
The food in the pot is pasty and I don’t know what it is made of. You can vaguely see the roots of plants and even grass leaves, without oil and water, and not at all.
That thing looks disgusting and is worse than pig food.
However, the people who lined up to receive a bowl were swallowed up immediately, as if they were eating delicious food in the world, fearing that they would be gone if they were a little slower.
There were as many as three or four hundred people in the camp lined up to receive food. The food in the two pots was not enough for everyone to hold a bowl, but no one seemed to have considered whether they were enough to share.
At this time, the "upper people" began to watch the lower people eat, but they did not participate in it. It was obviously not the same as those people. They pointed at the people who were eating, and some even kicked the other person's bowl and burst into laughter. The person who was kicked over was not angry, but immediately lay on the ground to eat the things that were knocked over.
Seeing all this in the distance, Chen Yi was shaking all over, his eyes were red, and an inexplicable anger kept hitting his mind. He repeatedly warned himself to calm down.
But how can you calm down?
"A person is destined to go through too much in his life. Perhaps my ability is limited, but if I don't do anything in front of me, I'm afraid there will be countless nights in the future that will wake up from nightmares and be tortured by the scenes I see in my eyes. No matter whether my next actions are meaningful or not, at least, my heart tells me that I must do something. As for the future? People live in the present, what do they want to do so much..."
