    Lin Chuan stumbled and climbed out along the steps. The air was filled with sunshine, which was not blazing, but gave people an indescribable sense of security.  White clouds were leisurely swimming on the light blue floor. The sky was so clear that it didn't look like it was in a river or sea, but rather like it was in a wilderness where no one had ever been.  After hiding underground for a month, Lin Chuan felt that he no longer knew how to breathe fresh air.  He opened his hands and felt the air mixed with the fragrance of earth brought by the breeze. He suddenly forgot where he was and just kept his eyes closed.  Li Mingfeng also walked out. He didn't have the same feeling as Lin Chuan. He only felt that everything he looked around was lush green. Many plants stubbornly emerged from the concrete, floor tiles and asphalt roads. He walked on the originally empty street.  It's like walking on the grassland.  Weeds are growing stubbornly in front of stores, on cars parked on the roadside, and on collapsed buildings, and those places that were originally green belts have now become clumps of shrubs.  Plants are announcing in their own way who is the real owner of this land.  "There are no traces of being eaten." Li Mingfeng searched the plants, and found no signs of being eaten except for traces of insect bites.  "I asked, and they said there are several kinds of wild vegetables that can be cooked and eaten, and the roots of some plants can also be eaten!" Lu Guangping came over and said excitedly. His face was horribly thin, as if he would be eaten soon.  A gust of wind swept him away.  "Then what?" Lin Chuan asked.  Lu Guangping was stunned. He didn¡¯t know what Lin Chuan meant, let alone how to answer.  "It will be winter soon, and the cloudy days will continue." Lin Chuan said with his eyes closed.  He desperately tried to expel those messy things from his mind, but he always imagined a picture of many people surrounding the body of a boy, eating like a group of vultures, and he was one of them.  .  "I don't want to go back there again. I was wrong. There is no way to protect everyone there. Continuing to hide there will only make us slowly lose our humanity in despair and turn into corpse-eating monsters."  Lin Chuan continued.  "I don't want to go back there again. I would rather die fighting against monsters than die like this day by day." "Are you going to abandon us?" Lu Guangping asked in despair.  He has never been a person who can solve problems independently. If someone can point out the direction, he will be a diligent implementer, but he cannot face the situation without someone to lead him.  "How much more food do we have?" Lin Chuan asked.  "According to the current ration and number of people, there are still four days' supply." "Let's divide them all." Lin Chuan said.  "Let everyone make their own choices. I want to go to the city. There may be a glimmer of hope there. Here" He looked back at the filthy underground fortifications.  "There is no hope here." In the end, everyone was given only a small amount of food, maybe a few biscuits, maybe half an instant noodle cake, and some people just got two toffee or  A handful of uncooked rice.  Many people were shouting that it was unfair and asking for redistribution, but there were also many people who immediately swallowed what was distributed to them and began to look around for edible plants.  According to the results of the division of things, there were only 1,921 people left in the end, most of whom were young adults.  Within a month, more than 1,500 people died in that cave.  This number made Lin Chuan close his eyes in pain.  "Let's go." Li Mingfeng patted his shoulder and said.  Nearly a thousand people were willing to leave with them to the inner city to survive, including most of the people whose names Lin Chuan remembered.  Lin Chuan told them that they would probably face a more dangerous situation than staying, but they would rather die than continue living like that.  ¡°About 400 people wanted to go around and try their luck, and more than 400 people chose to stay.  They looked at the people who decided to leave in silence. Lin Chuan knew that among them there must be those who ate corpses. Perhaps the reason why they stayed was the "food" in the underground fortifications, which made Lin Chuan feel sick.  ¡°You can¡¯t all take away the guns!¡± someone among them suddenly said.  "What did you say?" Lin Chuan couldn't believe his ears.  "These guns belong to all of us, and you have no right to take them all away." The man hiding in the crowd said guiltily.  Lin Chuan was so angry that he couldn't help laughing.  They don¡¯t have many weapons.  Initially, the community in Linchuan brought six automatic rifles and almost 2,000 rounds.? Later, Zhang Guohui and Ma Guoming brought five automatic rifles, two pistols and a thousand rounds of ammunition. Hu Xiaohu's group brought two automatic rifles and two pistols, followed by Lin Chuan and Li Mingfeng from the front line.  Three sniper rifles, two automatic rifles and four pistols were brought.  When Lin Chuan and Jiang Ming entered the city, they were half-cheated and half-robbed and took away three pistols. When he finally came back, he brought another pistol and twelve grenades. ????????????? If you have to do the math seriously, almost all the weapons they can obtain are related to Lin Chuan.  But these people say that guns belong to everyone?  "We don't want more. According to the number of people, we should have five rifles, two pistols and three grenades." They continued.  ¡°And bullets,¡± another voice added.  Tank raised his gun. With just one word, he would definitely shoot at these people.  Lin Chuan finally stopped laughing and said to his companions: "Give them all the pistols and all the pistol bullets." "Brother Lin!" Zeng Yu shouted anxiously.  His foot is almost healed, but he still uses a cane.  "Pistols are almost useless against monsters. They can only be used against similar species. They are just right for them." Lin Chuan replied.  "When they eat everyone, they can just use it to commit suicide." This reason could not convince Zeng Yu, but with Lin Chuan's insistence, they had no choice but to do it.  After walking out of the hearing range of them, Lin Chuan said: "They can have no limit, but we can't." The only map was placed among the people, and everyone discussed which route should be taken.  Most of them are very weak from hunger, and it is almost impossible to escape the attacks of monsters.  On the other hand, they do not have enough physical strength to maintain a relatively safe formation. No one can be an outpost or a defender. Their physical strength may only be enough for them to walk to the inner city.  Another question is, where should we go?  Many people are still scared to leave underground fortifications that are not invaded by monsters. They don¡¯t want to live that kind of life anymore, but they also don¡¯t want to be exposed to the sight of monsters and become their prey.  After they set out from here and walk to the inner city, they will not have time to find a shelter, nor will they expect to find a place enough for a thousand people to hide immediately, so the choice of target becomes very important.  But they knew nothing about the inner city. No one could predict what kind of place it would become after a month.  ¡°I only know two places.¡± Lin Chuan said.  "One place is the base of the Ministry of National Security. It is near Shin Kong Department Store. It is a five-story house. I was detained on the three underground floors there. The structure there should be able to accommodate a thousand people, but there is no food.  Drink." People listened to him carefully.  "Another place is Ditai Temple. The soldiers of the First Mixed Division who rescued me said that it was the warehouse and camp of the 34th Division and the 22nd Division. But I have never been there, and I have not even discussed it with them in detail.  Place. I just guessed that as the base of the two divisions, there should be enough shelter, food, drinking water and weapons." Li Mingfeng looked at the map carefully. These three places are not on the same line. The place Lin Chuan said.  The distance is nearly three kilometers. With their current physical strength and such a large team, this distance alone will take an hour.  "We will set off immediately. If there are no other conditions on the road, we should be able to reach the outer edge of the inner city in two hours, and then spend half an hour walking to Ditai Temple. We will decide whether to stay or not after seeing the situation there." He suggested.  No one has an opinion, this is the only choice they can make.  "How can so many people leave?" Chen Jian asked.  "Try to take the wide road as much as possible. We don't have the physical strength to escape and dodge now. In order to avoid being caught all at once, it's best to divide into several teams." Li Mingfeng said.  Lin Chuan nodded in agreement, pointed to the map and said: "There are three two-way six-lane roads from here to Ditai Temple, so we will be divided into three groups. I will lead one group, Brother Li will lead one group, and Wang Qinian will lead one group  , the weapons and escorts are evenly distributed, and the other personnel are allowed to form their own groups, but the number of people in each group is adjusted so that the number of people is similar. Is this okay? " Everyone discussed it and decided to implement it this way, but grouping and gathering personnel is expensive.  It took almost half an hour, and it wasn't until 10:30 that Wang Qinian's group was finally organized.  "You can check to see if there are any supplies along the way, but don't take risks or waste too much time. Monsters are likely to be hiding indoors, in the shadows of buildings, or in basements. Try not to go to these places." Li Mingfeng emphasized to them repeatedly.  With.  "If someone falls behind because of indiscipline, be sure toDon't hesitate to abandon him. Don't affect the whole team just because of one or two people.  " Lin Chuan and Wang Qinian both nodded. Li Mingfeng's group took the farthest route, so they set off first, followed by Lin Chuan's group, and finally Wang Qinian's group. The three groups disappeared at the corner of the street, and those who stayed behind silently  Looking at them, there was no farewell or blessing, but only numbness and resentment. Lin Chuan led his group to walk carefully in the middle of the road. Large areas of the road had been broken up, replaced by clumps of grass. Some people found that there were clumps of grass.  The grass had grown seeds, so they ate it while walking. The sun began to burn brightly, making them a little drowsy. There were often puddles on the ground, but no one dared to drink the water. Some people were walking on the road.  Looking for dew and accumulated rainwater on the nearby shrubs and leaves to quench their thirst, the formation gradually became chaotic. ¡°Brother Lin, do you want to organize the team?  Zeng Yu asked while chewing a few grass seeds. Lin Chuan sighed. Even he couldn't restrain such an impulse, so how could he ask others? "Let them go, as long as they don't fall behind."  "He replied. There were many light orange fruits on a tree by the roadside. Someone climbed up and picked a lot. "How does it taste?  "Someone asked. "It's very astringent!  "The eaters were so bitter that they frowned, but they stuffed all the fruits into their mouths. Many people began to climb the trees. Someone pried open a snack bar on the roadside and found that it had never been looted.  Most of the food was completely rotten, but he found a few sprouted potatoes. Regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, he just stood there and chewed them raw. Another person ran in, but found nothing.  He begged the person in front of him to give him one, but was immediately rejected. While Lin Chuan was still trying to find grass seeds, the two of them had already walked out of the store and made a pile on the ground.  It took a lot of force to separate them. When they were fighting, the potatoes rolled out of their arms and were immediately eaten by the people around them. The person who found them first burst into tears. "Are you crazy?"  The city is full of monsters, do you want to lure them all out?  Isn¡¯t it just a few potatoes?  Lin Chuan said anxiously and angrily. "How many potatoes?"  "The man shouted angrily. "That's three whole potatoes!  I haven't finished even one.  Damn you guys, give it back to me!  " He got up and chased those who were still chewing potatoes. They dispersed quickly. Lin Chuan looked around helplessly. More than 300 people had been scattered throughout the street, and there was no longer any organization at all. "  We are already late!  Gotta keep moving forward!  "He said to them, but people turned a deaf ear to this, and just looked for things to fill their stomachs wholeheartedly. ****** "It's a bit sad. I was originally planning to attack "to the next level", that is,  I have been updating more than 3,000 words every day for thirty consecutive days, but yesterday I was a little stuck. After I finished writing and sent it out, I realized it was already 12:04. Because of these four minutes, I had to start from the beginning I felt so depressed.
