Chapter 278 Corpse Floating in the Well
Click!

A dog's head fell to the ground and turned twice on the ground.

This is a sturdy wild dog with distinct muscles, as if he had done a bodybuilding exercise, his eyes are red and his mouth is drooling.

Wei Hengbo put away the long sword. The entire blade of the sword was a strange blood color. When the sword was withdrawn from the wild dog's neck, a faint trace of blood was sucked into it.

The two siblings have rich experience in survival in the wild, so their mission is to go out and find food.

It just came out not long ago.

They came across a wild dog tearing dead meat. When it saw the two men, it roared and pounced on them. Wei Hengbo hacked it to death with a knife.

Wei Hengbo picked up the dog's tail.

"Dinner is ready."

Wei Qinglan rolled his eyes and pushed him unhappily.

"This thing feeds on humans. You might get poisoned if you eat it. Let's look for another wild animal."

Wei Hengbo shrugged and looked into the distance.

"Then keep looking, but I think it might be hard to find a beast like this."

Following Wei Hengbo's line of sight, Wuzang Village was surrounded by weeds and wild trees. It looked like an ordinary wasteland, but as long as you pushed aside a patch of lush grass, you could find human bones under the grass.

The bodies of the dead were thrown randomly in the wilderness.

I'm afraid any carnivorous animal would be unable to refuse this free food...

……

West side of Wuzang Village.

Wen Chao, Jiang Chun and Ran Qiuhua are collecting some things.

For example, hemp can be used to make ropes, dry wood can be used to start a fire, and wormwood can be used for disinfection after burning...

Although the house is empty, many things in the wild can be used. Collecting these things will be very useful for future survival.

In the eyes of Jiang Chun and his two daughters.

Old man Wen Chao is the most reliable one in the team, so if you follow him, your survival rate should be very high.

Neither of them knew much about Fudi.

Those strange zombies last night and those old people today scared them.

So they discussed it and all agreed that if they wanted to survive, they could only rely on experienced seniors.

But they don't want to be parasites and seek protection, nor do they want to sell their bodies. If they want to get protection from others, the best way is to show their own value.

So they worked very hard.

Although they have never been involved in similar work before, as long as Wen Chao asked them to do it, they would try their best to do it. And because Wen Chao is an old man, they would not let him do many jobs that require bending over or lifting heavy objects, and would even support Wen Chao when they encounter places where he might fall.

There is nothing wrong with their thinking.

Use the physical strength of young people in exchange for survival experience.

But if Wu Xian saw this scene, he would definitely complain, because the old man Wen Chao's physical fitness is even better than Wu Xian's...

Wen Chao watched the actions of the two women and looked very pleased.

“They are all good kids…”

He especially admired Jiang Chun.

As he watched, he felt that some of Jiang Chun's actions seemed to be somewhat similar to those of his deceased wife...

……

South side of Wuzang Village.

There are the most people here, five in total.

Aunt Miao, Yang Bin, Xiao Gao, Su Xuan, and Li Juxian are responsible for solving the team's drinking water problem.

There is a well in the center of Wuzang Village.

So normally, they have no shortage of water for daily use.

But when Aunt Miao wanted to fetch water, she smelled a foul odor as soon as she reached the wellhead. She was shocked to find a human face swollen from being soaked in water at the bottom of the well!
The man's eyes were open, and the corners of his mouth were deformed due to swelling. It seemed as if he was smiling at Aunt Miao!
I don’t know why.

Aunt Miao was in a trance and almost fell into the well. If Su Xuan hadn't noticed the abnormality and pulled her up in time, she would have become a corpse in the well!
This spooky little episode.

It can only be said to be a routine event in a blessed land.

But after this incident, they didn't dare to draw water from the well, and even if they did, they didn't dare to use the water.

So they walked around the neighborhood.

On the south side of the village, we found a clear stream, which should be a tributary of the river under Sanxian Bridge.

So Yang Bin, Xiao Gao and Su Xuan carried wooden buckets back and forth to transport water to the village.

Aunt Miao and Li Juxian tried to catch two fish in the river.

They are newcomers.

Therefore, when entering the blessed land, things around them were also brought in, such as the modified beverage bottle used by Aunt Miao to catch small fish and Li Juxian's fishing rod.

But the two of them worked by the river for a long time and didn't catch a single fish.

It's like there's no life in this clear river...

……

"Grandma, is your waist sore? My massage skills are great!"

"Old man, if you're lonely, I can play chess with you. If you need someone to chat with, I can also listen to your chatter. I can listen to whatever you say with peace of mind."

Wu Xian was diligent in moving between the elderly people.

The tone was a little bit restrained.

But he was busy for a long time and no old man paid any attention to him. No matter how he tried to persuade them, their upper and lower lips seemed to be sewn shut.

He walked through all the rooms and returned to the center of the village. After turning around twice, he finally couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Are all these old men dumb?"

Wu Xian did not receive any verbal information, but instead suffered countless cold stares, especially from a skinny old woman in tattered clothes, who looked at him as if she had a grudge against him.

During this time, he saw Du E also trying to do something similar. Judging from her frustrated expression, she probably didn't gain much.

But Wu Xian at least confirmed it.

These old people are all human beings, not ghosts in disguise, so there is no need to worry about these old guys suddenly changing their appearance for the time being.

In addition, these rooms are very simple and can be seen at a glance, but Wu Xian did not see any statues of gods, which means that the way to worship gods in this blessed land remains a mystery.

Therefore, he should try to use the two kinds of worship props sparingly.

While thinking.

Wu Xian suddenly heard a painful groan.

He followed the sound to a room and saw the old woman with the vicious look in her eyes vomiting.

"Woooo...wow..."

The filth covered the front of his clothes and the ground beneath him.

After vomiting, the old woman tried to breathe smoothly, but suddenly her body twitched and she lay on the ground on her side, motionless.

Wu Xian walked over carefully to check and touched the old woman's neck. She had no pulse.

died……

The old woman who had just given him a bad look died just like that.

Wu Xian frowned and conducted a simple examination of the old woman's body.

It was discovered that she was severely malnourished and had serious problems with her food and drinking water.

The water she drank came from a small water pitcher beside her. The water in the pitcher had already become smelly. It must have been drawn from the well where the corpse was. There was also a bag beside her, which contained moldy dry food...

The old woman was unable to move around easily, and the elderly people around her had no spare energy to take care of her, so she could only eat and drink spoiled food and water, and eventually died from these foods...

Wu Xian suddenly felt a little upset.

"I understand..."
