The arrogance of the city

Chapter 852 Adversity Sees People's Hearts

"Tell me, is it possible that his brother...is still alive?"

After returning to the camp, Yang Yuqing did not go to sleep, but sat beside Li Futu.

She really can't sleep now.

After learning that the so-called savages were once survivors like them, and seeing Tang Pengfei again, she couldn't help guessing.

"You mean his elder brother also survived by eating people?"

Li Futu asked softly.

Yang Yuqing remained silent.

Even if Tang Pengfei's brother was still alive, he might not be a real person anymore.

A close relative has turned into a man-eating beast. Can ordinary people really bear this kind of result?

"Go to sleep first."

Li Futu didn't mention Tang Pengfei again.

"No, I can't sleep, sit with you for a while."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Yang Yuqing still shook her head, she was not afraid of sleeping alone.But now I really don't feel sleepy.

Li Futu didn't force it anymore.

The two of them chatted one after another around the bonfire. If this was not a deserted island full of dangers, perhaps this scene could still be called romantic.

When Huang Zhong and Zhang Dan woke up in the middle of the night to take over from Li Futu, they found that Yang Yuqing had fallen asleep leaning on Li Futu's shoulder. It seemed quite pitiful.

"Miss Yang, this is..."

"Maybe it's because I was frightened today."

Li Futu did not tell what happened by the water at night, did not wake Yang Yuqing up, but gently hugged her.

"Next, you two will work hard."

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Huang Zhong's expression was a little unnatural, jealousy surged in his eyes, but he still nodded with a smile.

Four people change the guard.

The second night on the deserted island passed slowly.

……

"If this continues, I'm afraid our food won't last for a few days."

This is already the fourth day since they landed on the deserted island, perhaps because they have raised their vigilance, no matter what they do, they stick together, and the savages did not attack them again, but as the food is gradually running out, everyone still inevitably becomes anxious and impetuous.

When they came to this deserted island, the food they prepared was only enough to last for seven days, and now the time had passed halfway. If they couldn’t find a way, even if they were not killed by the savages, they would probably starve to death on this island.

Up to now, they have traveled more than half of the island, but they still haven't encountered another team of survivors.

Zhang Dan doubted: "Could it be that the other team has already died?"

"It shouldn't be possible. I think the other party should also be looking for us, but it's not in the same direction as ours, so I missed it."

Huang Zhong said, looking around: "Let's rest for a while, Brother Li, let's go and look for it, see if we can find some food, like the wild fruit that Brother Tang found before, it is enough for us to support a period of time."

At that time, Huang Zhong took a bite of the wild fruit and thought it was sour, so he threw it away.

Now as long as you can satisfy your hunger, who cares whether it is delicious or not.

"I'll go with you."

"Brother Zhang, you have to stay. If there is any danger, Brother Tang may not be able to deal with it alone."

Zhang Dan nodded, "Then go back quickly, be careful."

Before leaving, Li Futu asked Yang Yuqing to fire a signal flare. Blindly looking for it like this is not an option. If they see the signal flare, the other team should understand the meaning and rush over to join them.

Huang Zhong and Li Futu left the team and started a journey to find food.

"Brother Li, why don't we go to that hill and have a look? Maybe we can meet some birds and beasts there."

The hill Huang Zhong pointed to is about one or two kilometers away. The altitude is not high, more than 100 meters at most, but the forest is quite lush, and it is lush and lush as far as the eye can see.

Li Futu nodded.

The two walked quickly towards the hill, but to their disappointment, when they climbed up the hill, they still didn't find any traces of animal activities. some red berries.

Huang Zhong was quite courageous, he tried it himself, and after confirming that it was not poisonous, he and Li Futu started picking.

"Brother Li, let's take a break first."

Huang Zhong seemed to be tired, wiped off his sweat, and jumped off the tree. The plastic bag in his hand, which was originally used to hold compressed biscuits, had already been half filled by wild fruits.

Li Futu also jumped down from another tree, put the bag on the ground, took out a cigarette and threw it at Huang Zhong.

The two sat under the tree and began to puff.

"If I can go back alive this time, I will live a solid life and never seek any excitement again."

Huang Zhong leaned against the tree, exhaled smoke and said, after going through this kind of thing, he finally understood how precious a stable life is.

"Brother Huang, do you think we still have a chance to go back alive?"

Li Futu sat under the tree, about seven or eight meters away from Huang Zhong, and his tone seemed a little negative.

"If we don't have the belief to live, then I'm afraid we will definitely die."

Huang Zhong took a deep breath of his cigarette. Even though he said that, he didn't know what to do.

The channel of communication with the outside world is blocked. Even if relying on these wild fruits, it can last for a while, but this cannot solve the fundamental problem at all.

After all, when the wild fruits are all picked, what should they do then?
If they can't find a way to leave this deserted island, they won't be able to escape a death sentence in the end. The difference is nothing more than time at best.

Huang Zhong smoked one puff after another, his eyes swept towards Li Futu who was not far away from time to time.

There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom.

Adversity sees people's hearts.

In a crisis, human nature will be revealed to the greatest extent.

Or it can also be described as that human nature will begin to sink.

Now, the group of them has been driven to a desperate situation, and at some point, they may die tragically like Han Yan.

In the past two days, although the savage didn't show up again, it didn't mean that the few people relaxed because of this, but it was this state of constant vigilance that tortured the spirit of the group.

People at this time are not very rational, and human nature will have a dark side, but it is usually actively restrained, but in such an environment, some evil thoughts in Huang Zhong's mind began to involuntarily enlarge.

There is a shortage of food, but if there is one less mouth, can it be alleviated a little?

And if this man is dead, wouldn't the woman who made his heart move from the first sight, in order to pray for his protection, let him do anything?
As soon as this idea popped up, it grew rapidly in Huang Zhong's heart like crazy weeds, and he couldn't restrain it anymore.

Holding his cigarette, he looked at Li Futu with a cold murderous intent.

Huang Zhong, who had gradually lost his mind in the crisis, completely forgot an old saying.

When you stare into the abyss.

Never forget that the abyss is staring back at you too.
