The Prepared People in the End Times (14)

After eating, the two mothers in the village put down their bowls and chopsticks and went back to the wall to curse each other. Outside, Ji Changze and Chen Dilu, who appeared frequently in their mouths, hid in the grass and looked at the lions resting over there.

The village was so dangerous all around. Chen Dilu was so anxious when he thought about how much suffering his parents would suffer and how scared they would be at home. At this moment, he didn't care about his self-requirement of "keeping a safe distance of more than two meters from the enemy". He and Ji Changze crawled in the grass and looked at the lions opposite.

"Six, seven... eleven... what should we do? Eleven lions, how can we beat so many lions? Even if we have bows and arrows in our hands, we don't have as many people as lions, how can we beat them."

Chen Dilu was so anxious, but he couldn't think of a solution.

It would be fine if they were fighting in a high-rise building, but they couldn't even have a slightly higher building. The tallest thing at the moment was their RV.

Ji Changze looked at the lions with a telescope.

There are no cubs in the lion group, only one male lion, and the rest are female lions.

This is quite normal, lion groups have always been polygamous, and now, the male lion with the largest head and the most majestic and beautiful sideburns is lying under the tree, swinging his tail and closing his eyes as if he is sleeping.

"They have no cubs, and the female lions are not pregnant."

Chen Delu: "... Can you not be so weird at this time?"

Isn't it most important for them to go home or defeat the lions? Why do they still care about whether the lions are pregnant or not?

Ji Changze: "Seven of these female lions are in the lactation period, but they have no children in their stomachs, and there are no cubs around them. And among the ten female lions, they are the seven farthest away from the male lions."

Zhang Shengsheng also moved over quietly, After hearing Ji Changze's words, he seemed to understand a little: "Basically all mammal mothers will take good care of their children. These lionesses can't just abandon their cubs. Did all their children die?"

"Is it possible that the cubs died during the meteor shower?"

Ji Changze shook his head: "Meteor showers are random. Although the zoo will put the cubs together regularly, the cubs usually live with their mothers. If something happens to the cubs, it is unlikely that their mothers will survive."

He crawled back to the car and asked Li Hechuan who was investigating: "How is it, have you found out the origins of these lions? "

"I found out that there is a zoo in the county, which was sponsored by a large group. It is not short of money. It uses a simulated natural exhibition mode. These lions should be from those zoos. There are two groups of lions in the zoo. One group is led by the male lion Dalin, and the other group is led by the male lion Dawang."

Ji Changze: "Then which group of lions did we meet?"

Li Hechuan: "...It's a bit difficult to tell. I think they all look the same. The female lions don't seem to be much different. As for the male lions... Dawang has a tuft of yellow hair, but Dalin doesn't."

Ji Changze leaned over to take a closer look.

Then he pointed to a lioness on the screen: "This lioness is from the big lion group, but the lion we saw just now was Dalin."

"That makes sense."

Chen Delu crawled out of the bushes and twisted and turned. As soon as he stood up, he heard Ji Changze say: "Male lions will fight for territory, drive away the original male lions, and accept the lionesses from the original lion group. In most cases, male lions cannot accept the children left by the previous lion king. And because it wants to have children with a lioness, the lioness must be in estrus. Biting the child to death will stimulate the lioness to estrus. At this time, the male lion will mate with the lioness."

Guo Junyuan had just coaxed Xiaobao to sleep, and when she heard this, she showed a trace of pity on her face: "So All the lionesses' children were bitten to death?"

"Yes."

Ji Changze guessed: "It should be that the meteor shower fell at that time, and the lion group occupied by the male lion named Dalin may have had an accident, because the female lions who were with him just now were all from the big king lion group, so after he lost his female lions and little lions, he attacked the big king, and may have bitten him to death, or may have driven him away, but no matter which one, the big king would definitely not survive. At this time, a wounded male lion would definitely not live for a few days. Dalin took over its lion group, bit all the little lions that were not of his own blood to death, and forced the female lions to go into heat to leave his own offspring. "

Chen Delu's face twitched when he heard it.

He put himself in his shoes. Isn't it like saying that he got married and had children, and was living a happy life, and suddenly Ji Changze came and killed him, killed his children, and forced his wife to have children with Ji Changze?

"Too shameless!"

He was filled with righteous indignation: "This kind of lion is simply the scum of the lions."

Speaking of this, he sighed again. Although he did not have a wife, he sincerely felt the pain of having his wife taken away: "How uncomfortable those female lions must be, watching their husbands and children die with their own eyes, eh..."

Ji Changze: "In fact, they only feel uncomfortable for their little lions. In a lion group, female lions generally have no feelings for male lions. To them, male lions are just a tool to protect the tribe and allow them to have babies."

Chen Delu: "..."

Ji Changze: "Those female lions were injured. They should have joined the battle when the two male lions were fighting, but they still lost. Either the king's own ability was really not good enough, or the king himself was injured, so Dalin took over them in the end."

Chen Delu, who quickly retracted his true feelings, was a little impatient: "This is not watching TV. What's the use of you popularizing the animal world to us? Even if they are a love triangle or a twelve-cornered love, it has nothing to do with us."

Ji Changze: "Really."

Chen Delu: "..."

Ji Changze: "In the animal world, everyone is cruel. Generally, when two male lions fight, female lions will not intervene. If their husbands win, they will happily come forward to reward. If the other party wins, they will change their husbands. Even female lions with children will at most hide the little lions to avoid being killed if the lion group changes their owners. The death of a child is a natural law, engraved in instinct. Since these lionesses may help their former husbands, is it possible that they have temporarily gotten rid of this animal instinct? "

Guo Junyuan seemed to understand: "Do you mean that the meteorite shower has improved the IQ of these lions?"

"Yes, we can see some of it when we catch other prey before. These prey are more or less smarter than before. They will become smarter, so why not lions?"

Ji Changze made a decision quickly: "Lions will have emotions such as hatred, but generally, lionesses will suppress this hatred after getting pregnant again and take care of the new lion cubs wholeheartedly. But if their thinking evolves, maybe they still hate the lions now, but the lions are much stronger than them in terms of force, so the lionesses dare not take action."

He climbed onto the RV in a few steps and looked at the lying lion with a telescope.

"I have to get closer to them and attack this lion first."

They didn't dare to shoot arrows before, on the one hand, there was no shelter here, and there were only a few of them. Even if men, women, young and old came together, they could only knock down a few at most.

The lions' reaction ability is much faster than humans imagine.

Ji Changze is more mean, and his method is to let these lions bully in their den.

He refused to accompany others and climbed up a tree with his bow and arrow.

Because the anesthetic has not been tested on such a super-large creature, this time he did not dilute it again, but directly applied it on the arrow head, and then aimed at the lion sleeping under the tree.

Everyone in the RV held their breath and looked over here nervously. Chen Delu, Li Hechuan and Guo Junyuan each held a telescope to watch.

-Swoosh!

The arrow flew smoothly to the lion's buttocks.

It was awakened from its sleep, jumped up angrily, and roared angrily.

The lionesses around were startled by its sudden action. They stood up in confusion and looked over curiously with their tails wagging.

Blood flowed from the lion's buttocks, and the lionesses became agitated.

They are all natural hunters and are familiar with the smell of blood.

Everyone was fine, but suddenly the lion king was injured. They didn't understand what happened and gradually became anxious with the atmosphere.

Unlike these anxious lionesses, the lionesses far away from the lion group all stood up, wagging their tails and sniffing the bloody smell of the lion in the air.

Their cold eyes looked at the lion in front of them who had bitten their children to death.

It was trying hard to stand up, but the effect of the anesthetic made it sway even if it stood up, and it couldn't stand steadily at all.

The lionesses who lost their children keenly felt the weakness coming from this domineering and fierce lion. They licked their lips and walked towards this side vigilantly.

There was a chaos of blood and flesh.

Chen Delu frowned, trying not to look away from the lion he was fighting.

The male lion was stronger than the female lion, but who made him get tricked by Ji Changze? The effect of the anesthetic was still on his body. Even if his body was big enough and he didn't fall down all at once, his teeth were still so sharp and his claws were still so powerful. He was not conscious, so how could he beat the united female lions.

The other female lions without children were all stunned.

They looked at each other, not knowing whether they should go forward to help their husbands.

Because the scene in front of them had never happened before, and the male lion didn't ask them to help (they were stunned), the female lions without children could only look at this scene with a confused look on their faces, hesitating to get close but not daring to get close.

In the end, the female lions won.

The male lion was bitten and seriously injured, and staggered away from here, and the female lions did not chase him relentlessly.

It definitely won't survive. If a male lion is injured in a zoo, it can still be properly cared for. In this case, the injured male lion can't even catch a rabbit, can't replenish food, and can't treat the wound. It will die somewhere soon.

The lioness who beat the male lion the most fiercely and fiercely stood where the male lion was originally and roared.

The other female lions were even more confused.

Generally, male lions fight each other, and the winner shouts like this, which means "I won, this piece of land is mine, and all of you lions are mine too."

What does a female lion shout?

But the other female lions who were still breastfeeding all stepped forward obediently, trying to help the female lion lick her bloody hair to express their submission.

The female lion looked at the other lions who had been in a state of confusion, leaned down slightly, grinned with bloody corners of her mouth, exposed her fangs, and let out a threatening roar from her throat.

The female lions: "..."

They first stepped back in fear, and saw the queen in front of them walking towards them.

Although they still couldn't figure out the situation, they finally surrendered, making a low cry to show their flattery, and carefully stepped forward to lick the queen's hair.

Thus, when the planet changed, the first lion group ruled by the queen appeared on this planet.

At this time, the lion group was already in a weak position. The female lions who participated in the battle were all injured, and they were no longer protected by male lions. If Ji Changze took action now, he would win 80% of the time.

But he suddenly changed his mind.

He drew his bow, aimed it in the direction of the queen, and then slightly deviated it.

- Whoosh!

The arrow stuck in the ground, scaring the queen who had just calmed down and jumped back. This time, she looked at Ji Changze's position very accurately.

But it was much smarter than other lions in the tribe. It clearly remembered that the male lion had lost its fighting power just now because of this strange thing, and that human had another one in his hand.

The queen thought more than other lions.

It witnessed how the previous king lost with its own eyes, so it would not repeat the same mistake.

It made a decision quickly, leaned down and shouted at the female lions around it in a low voice. The lions followed it and left here together.

They would choose a place suitable for the lion group to live in, raise the little lions by themselves, and the female lions would stay, and the male lions would be driven away after they could survive independently.

In the past, male lions killed lionesses and their cubs in order to seize territory. This time, it will expand the tribe and develop stably. When it encounters other lion groups, it will defeat the male lions and force them to leave blood in its belly. The powerful offspring can make their tribe bigger and bigger.

But the tribe led by this queen will never attack humans. It will never forget that when it ascended the throne, humans attacked the male lions with terrible things, leaving the invincible male lions without any counterattack.

Of course, this is just a later story. The current queen is just a young female lion who fled with the tribe just after ascending the throne.

Ji Changze waved in the direction of several cars after making sure they left, indicating that they could drive over.

The car drove over quickly, and Guo Junyuan's heart beat very fast. Although she had just witnessed the whole process and knew that the lions were not close to her husband at all, she was still very scared.

As soon as Ji Changze got off the tree, she rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Let's get ready to go into the village."

Ji Changze looked around. Li Hechuan was still the same as before, full of admiration, and Fu Hao and the others were similar.

Chen Delu...

After he found that Ji Changze was looking at him, he quickly looked away and hid behind Fu Hao.

Chen Delu always found a chance to confront Ji Changze, but today he didn't dare to do so.

Look at the consequences of going against Ji Changze.

That male lion was driving his harem well, but was targeted by Ji Changze. He was as fierce as a tiger and was bitten by his harem like that and was forcibly driven out of the tribe.

Chen Delu felt that he was not as resistant as that male lion.

Ji Changze, this old cunning guy.

He should say less before returning to the village, lest Ji Changze suddenly cunningly do something to him if he was unhappy with him.

Seeing that his parents were in front of him, he didn't want to go to heaven to drift.

With this in mind, Chen Delu was as quiet as a chicken on the way into the village, without making a sound.

Fu Hao was in the same car with him. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought he was afraid of home. Then he thought of how worried Chen Delu was when he heard that there were dangers all around the village. He felt that he could understand him very well.

His parents were gone. If they were still alive, they would know that they were trapped in one place and might be hungry. I don't know how anxious they would be.

Fu Hao offered to drive himself out of consideration for Chen Delu.

"Brother Chen, you can pack up your things first. Your uncle and aunt may have suffered a lot when they were trapped in the car. You can prepare some delicious food and drinks, and wait until you get home to be filial to them."

Chen Delu was pulled out of his thoughts.

"Yes, yes!"

His parents had suffered a lot.

Just now when they passed by the road, a snake actually crawled in front of them so openly.

Although I don't know if they are poisonous or not, before the end of the world, these snakes dare not run out in broad daylight. Even if they come out, they will definitely hide and run away when they see people.

Think about the environment in the village again.

Chen Delu's heart is full of sadness. He just hopes that his parents will not lose too much weight.

He and Fu Hao exchanged seats, and he sat in the back and started to organize things.

Instant noodles, this is what he stocked up. These days, everyone eats instant noodles the most. After all, instant noodles are faster when traveling. However, he stocked up ten boxes and now has five boxes left, which is definitely enough.

There are also these pieces of meat. He wanted to give his parents some good nourishment before he set out to the village, so he specifically went to Guo Junyuan to exchange them. These are pheasant drumsticks.

My parents must have not eaten meat for a long time, so he must nourish them well.

Oh, and there are pickled mustard tubers. Although the taste is not very good, it is better than nothing. He found them with great difficulty.

And these biscuits are all compressed biscuits, which are very filling. They were also exchanged with Guo Junyuan.

As for why he didn't exchange with Ji Changze, haha, Ji Changze is the best at pretending. Who knows if he will cheat himself.

Chen Delu was busy here, and Ji Changze over there was not idle either.

"I'm hungry. It seems to be dinner time now. I wonder if my parents have cooked."

Guo Junyuan looked at Xiaobao who was sleeping soundly in the back and smiled: "It should be ready soon. Mom and Dad will eat later."

She was a little worried about her parents. She looked towards Dongshan. Ji Changze freed one hand and patted Guo Junyuan's hand soothingly: "It's okay. We'll go to your parents' place after we put down the things and eat."

Guo Junyuan nodded, and her expression was a little relieved.

The villagers heard the sound of the car and opened the door in surprise.

When the meteorite shower started, everyone was still panicked for a while. Later, when it got dark, the grass and trees grew wildly, and so many wild animals came from nowhere. The villagers were still worried at first, but later they found that although they could not contact the outside world and could not go out, as long as they hid in the village, the animals would not attack them, so they gradually felt relieved.

The worst thing was the family whose relatives were away from home. Now they could not go out, and people from outside could not come in.

But there was no point in worrying, and they could only live in such a state of desolation day by day.

As a result, today, a car actually entered the village? ?

Does that mean they can go out to collect food? ?

Although there is no shortage of food, everyone is very anxious as they see the food in the granary getting less and less every day, and there is food outside but they cannot collect it.

Chen Delu opened the car window and looked at the uncles, aunts and aunts who watched him grow up looking at him with surprise, and he was moved in his heart.

These are the villagers. Even if they are not related by blood, they watched him grow up.

Now they must be very surprised to see him come back.

Hey, he is also very popular.

Chen Delu couldn't help being moved, and called out to the elders who came out to see them: "Uncle Zhang, Sixth Aunt, Uncle Wang, Third Grandma, Fifth Grandpa, I miss you so much."

Uncle Zhang responded, and then asked: "Lulu, you are back from outside, so you..."

Hearing these caring words, Chen Delu's nose was sour again. He changed the subject and said: "Fortunately, although I came back from outside, I didn't suffer much. I had food and drink, and the road was relatively smooth. Thank you for your concern."

Uncle Zhang: "..."

He wanted to ask Chen Delu if the road out of the village was passable since he came back from outside.

Ji Changze stopped the car, opened the window and shouted to the back: "The road into the village is passable, and those lions have moved."

The people in the village suddenly became excited, and they all came to Ji Changze excitedly to ask questions, and some of them were impatient to go home to prepare tools for the harvest.

Everyone showed great enthusiasm to Ji Changze who provided useful information: "Changze, you are back too?"

"It was hard along the way, right? Do you know what the situation is outside the village? Why did the lions move? Oh my, I went to take a look before, those lions are very fierce, their teeth are so long, did they move when you entered the village, are they not injured? By the way, are there any others outside?"

Seeing that no one cared about him, and Ji Changze was the star of the show, Chen Delu: "..."

He almost vomited blood.

It's okay to treat him differently in school and in front of others, but why is it still like this when he returns to the village where he grew up together.

He was very angry, but when he thought that these villagers were just people who had no blood relationship with him, he felt much better.

After all, they were not related by blood, so how much could they care about him?

His parents were different. In the days without him, they must have been sleepless, hungry, skinny, and kept talking about him every day.

Maybe she would even hold his photo and imagine that he was back.

And he! He really came back!

Seeing him come home unscathed, not only not thinner but also a lot fatter than before, his parents would be so excited that they would burst into tears, hug him with tears and snot, and tell him how much they missed him in the days without him, and dream about him.

And he would, at such a critical moment, carry his carefully selected chicken legs, pickled mustard, and biscuits into the house, then calmly hug his parents and tell them that their son is back and they will not suffer anymore.

This family, he will support it!

Chen Delu was immersed in his own fantasy and couldn't extricate himself, and heard Ji Changze in front of him asking: "How are my parents, are they at home now?"

"Your parents? At Lulu's house."

Chen Delu: "???"

Ji Changze's parents are at his house? ? ?

The first scene that popped into his mind every time the two families met was what it was like.

His mother and Ji Changze's mother had never dealt with each other. Every time he saw the two of them together, they would scold each other, and each scolded them harder than the other. He had listened to his mother say at home countless times that he should have directly They took over the Ji family's place and saw what they could do.

Ji Changze's parents couldn't have gone to their house to bully others before he, the mainstay, came home.

Although his mother is as fat as Ji Changze's mother, Ji Changze's father is a bit taller than his father.

Chen Lu's mind was filled with thoughts of his parents being weak, helpless and pitiful. They were bullied by the dark forces, Ji Changze's parents. He knelt down and cried, crying why his son hadn't come back yet.

For a moment, my heart was panicked and my hands were shaking. As soon as I opened the car door, I stopped driving and ran straight towards home.

Ji Changze will definitely help his parents, but now that there are so many villagers blocking the road, cars can't pass at all, so he must take a preemptive strike.

You must not let your parents fall behind after you have fallen behind.

Behind him, Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan looked at Chen Lu's back and the corners of their eyes twitched.

Guo Junyuan: "Has he always been like this?"

Ji Changze: "Maybe. I feel like I've become a little stupider recently."

He continued to ask the villagers: "Don't my mother and Chen's mother always get along with each other? How come they get together?"

Ji Changze had never doubted that the two families were fighting. If a fight really broke out, these villagers would not stand by and not stop the fight, let alone talk to them with such a smile and no rush.

"Hey, there are poisonous snakes in the village. Your mother and Chen's mother were scolding each other across the wall this morning. You know, they like this. Chen's mother went to the latrine. Your mother was waiting for her to come back and continued to scold her, but while she was waiting, she saw a snake crawling into Chen Lu's house, and she quickly ran over and knocked on the door. "

"It took the two families half an hour to catch the snake. Hey, tell me, if this was a poisonous snake, wouldn't Chen Delu's parents be dead? The poisonous snake is at home, who knows when it will bite. , Lulu, his mother killed one of his chickens, saying that he wanted to thank you, mother."

Ji Changze nodded and said he understood: "My mother is like this, she has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

"Yes, I said, your whole family is good. Did you come back with Lulu? Why is he running so fast? Doesn't he have a car?"

Ji Changze thought for a moment about Chen Lu's expression when he ran away just now.

"Um……"

He showed a polite but still joking smile: "Maybe... I want to give my family a surprise."

Over there, Chen's Lu simply showed the same level of effort as when he had his body measured. Sayazi ran to the front of his house, looked at the door in front of him, and took a deep breath.

he! Chen’s Lu! The backbone of this family is here to support my parents!

Chen's Lu took another deep breath and took another deep breath, intending to win first in terms of volume.

Inside the house, Mother Chen pushed ma:'j-ia:ng, her face lit up with joy: "You're crazy! Come on, come on, give me your son's photo. I want to add a beard to him. My Lulu is the one." The most polite.”

At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and a heartbreaking voice suddenly came out.

"mom!!!!!!!"

The four people sitting at the ma:'j-ia:ng table were so frightened that they all trembled and looked over with frightened expressions on their faces.

As for Chen Lu, he was also confused.

The smell of chicken soup was in the air. In the front yard, there was a ma:'j-ia:ng table, with four people sitting around the table.

His father, his mother, Ji Changze, his mother, Ji Changze, his father.

The four of them were obviously taking a nap. There was a stove next to it, with a fire burning underneath and firewood burning. The pot on the top was gurgling chicken soup, with Chen Lu's In his eyes, he could even see a few red dates inside.

This wasn't what confused him the most. What made him unbelievable the most was that his mother was holding a photo in her hand.

Is that a photo of Ji Changze? ? right? ? ?

That's his mother! ! !

At this moment, I was sweating profusely from running and was in a state of embarrassment. Standing in this happy courtyard where everyone was playing together and drinking chicken soup, I just felt a sense of sadness.

He felt as if he had been betrayed.

dad! mom! You two traitors.

Uh-huh.
