C6 Shouts of Help

"Payson! I found the password!"

"Report!"

"Da Da!"

"That's great! Success!"

“Wonderful! I succeeded!”

With the sound of the air valve being vented, the six-meter-high, half-meter-thick, gear-shaped steel door finally started moving. The steel door was pushed forward by the air valve and rolled towards the right side of the wall. The sun that came in from the outside blinded the two men and the cat.

The noise made by the insects behind them became louder and louder. Moorer did not have time to think about it. He pulled Payson up and carried Meow before rushing out.

What entered their eyes was a deserted land. The forest before the hibernation had long been shaken by the impact of the meteorite. It had been buried by sandstorms over the long years. Only one or two strange-looking trees stood between the sandstorms. The plants that had survived the impact of the meteorite had lost their lives during the cold period. In the end, they broke down and fell to the ground, eventually disintegrating.

Although it was noon, the weather was still cloudy. The sun was faintly visible in the dark gray clouds. A gust of wind blew, causing Moorer to tremble. He couldn't help but tighten his clothes and tightly hold Meow.

"Moorer, what are you doing? You're so shy..."

Meow impatiently grabbed Moorer's hand. Moorer could not help but let go of it. In the end, Meow jumped out of Moorer's embrace and shivered for a while before jumping back into Moorer's hand.

"Our home... How did it become like this..."

Payson turned around and saw that as he expected, the monsters who had been living in the sanctuary since they were born had no idea what to do when they encountered a new environment. Facing the food that had long escaped from their territory, the monsters could only stand at the door and roar a few times. After that, they returned to their familiar territory before the door of the sanctuary closed.

The monsters who had lost the food only roared for a short while before they forgot all their grief and indignation. Oh, look, the aisle is now filled with all kinds of fresh monster corpses.

In the following days, it was a bliss for them.

"Brother Mu... I'm so hungry..." Meow's stomach started to cry. It buried its entire face into Moorer's chest and rubbed it against it, acting like a little girl flirting with him.

"Good, good, good... Let's go find food now... Eh... Right, I remember... There's a village to the north of the sanctuary."

"It's called Vage Village..." Payson reminded, "If I'm not wrong, we should be able to find supplies there."

"Okay." Moorer nodded. "I still remember the road. Let's go now!"

In the sandstorm, the village in the distance was faintly discernible.

The group walked for almost half an hour before they finally arrived at Vage Village. At this time, the strong wind had also stopped, and the outline of the village gradually appeared.

Before the meteorite disaster, Vage was a relatively wealthy tourism village. The residents of the village combined the Bohemian style with the medieval style. At that time, there was a constant stream of tourists who came here for sightseeing.

But now? Under the repeated destruction of the impact wave that covered the entire world, the entire Vage had become a ruin. The collapsed buildings piled on the road. The broken and damaged buildings that were full of holes were covered by a plant that looked like a gecko. At the same time, it also covered their past glory. Some small and deformed plants also took root and sprouted in the ruins.

Moorer and the others walked into a place that looked like a food supermarket. There were broken shelves everywhere. The service machines before the disaster had also failed to overcome the destruction of time. In the end, they fell to the corner of the wall and were covered by the plants.

Meow jumped down from Moorer's embrace and sniffed the air, saying,

"I think I smell... the smell of canned food..."

Moorer and Payson walked in the direction that Meow pointed out. They walked to a pile of collapsed shelves. Moorer frowned and used his hand to push away the annoying shelves with Moorer's help.

Below the shelves, a rotten corpse that was only left with a skeleton was reflected in their eyes. The two ribs and the right leg and thigh bone on the skeleton seemed to have been broken before it died, but it was still in the posture of lying down with its head held. It seemed like it was protecting something with its life before it died.

Below its body was a small skeleton wrapped in a blanket and two canned beef cans that were covered in dust.

Just as Moorer was considering whether he should take the cans away, Payson had already bent down and kicked the skeleton away.

"Hey, hey, hey? Brother Payson, what are you doing?"

"I'm collecting supplies. Is there a problem?"

"But this is food that they risked their lives to protect… We should just take it away… Isn't that inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate?" Payson snorted unhappily and said, "They risked their lives to protect it, that's their business. But they are already dead, and we still need to live. We need this food!"

Just as the two of them were arguing, Meow had already jumped onto the two skeletons and carefully examined them. Before the end of the world, it had learned some medical knowledge from Moorer. It examined the corpses and raised its head to Moorer.

"Moorer… I checked the bigger one. It should be a corpse of a young woman around 25 years old. The smaller one is a corpse of a four-month-old baby. Its gender is unclear…"

Moorer's expression became even uglier.

However, the selfish Payson did not care about that. He tore off the blanket from the small skeleton and scattered the two skeletons. Then, he laid the blanket flat and began to pile up all the supplies he could find on it.

Although Moorer was unwilling, his life was still his top priority. He knelt down on one knee in front of this young mother and drew a cross in front of her. He did not know what he was muttering, but he stood up and searched for supplies with Payson.

However, the supplies in this small place were really scarce. Under the guidance of Meow Meow, Moorer and the others searched for half a day and only found a tomato soup can, a nuclear peach can, and a tuna can. There was only one can of nuclear coke left.

"Let's go to the other side of the street and take a look. I remember there's a supermarket over there..."

The group left the supermarket and headed towards the other side of the street. Moorer noticed that there was a house on the other side of the street that did not have many climbers. He did not care about it, but on the second floor of the house, a human head suddenly popped out.

"Oh my god! I've been waiting here for nearly two days! Finally, I see a living person! Sigh! Those two handsome guys over there! Come and save me! I'm trapped on the second floor by monsters! If you can save me, I... I will reward you handsomely..."

Moorer and Payson looked at each other, then picked up their weapons and ran towards the building where the survivors were.
