Chapter 1 The Temple of the Earth

The sun burns the earth, the heat waves roll, and the light and shadows in the distance are twisted and deformed under high temperatures.

One word is hot!

The fourteen-year-old girl named Tao Qini, who was replaced by a core, woke up a day ago and looked at the desolate and dizzy.

At this time, Tao Qini leaned against the earth wall behind her and sat on the ground on the hay. She first figured out the current situation, and then the picture.

From the few pale memories in the mind of the original owner Tao Qini, I knew that the era I was in was a dynasty called Dayan, and I knew nothing else.

The Tao family is too poor, and they are tenants for the landlords, the man farms the landlords, and the woman is a maid who is a rude envoy for the landlords.

I have lived through eating grass roots and bark over the years. I have seen and never eaten grains.

During the drought, even the grassroots and bark were gone, and the family of four is now on the way to escape the famine.

Tao Qini looked at the dilapidated land temple with a room, about ten square meters, and was enshrined in the land god. The simple mud body was mottled. You could see that the black hat was no longer on the hat, the crutch in his hand was broken half, and the robe he was wearing was obviously cracked, as if the mud body was broken with a slight touch.

A big hole was broken on the roof, and the poisonous sunlight shone down. The wind and sun were shining, and the land was weathered by the weathering of Grandpa. Now he could only see his kind-hearted eyes and bent over. He was a kind and kind old man.

Tao Qini looked at the pillars supporting the house as thick as a child, and the wood carved the first couplet: It's a bit arrogant, the second couplet: It's an official

Tao Qini smiled in her heart. According to legend, the ghost immortal who was in charge of a land lived underground, worshipped by incense and absorbed energy. It was the lowest level among gods. As the saying goes: Don’t treat the land master as a master.

It’s really as the horizontal banner says: dominate one side.

The room was not big, and the two were leaning against the wall opposite Tao Qini. The father and son were the surname Fu, the neighbor of the Tao family.

A dozen families in a village fled together, and the drought affected more than one village and one county. These people gradually gathered together, which was on the official road.

He dragged his family and his family, and brought all his belongings with him, and rushed towards the capital with great difficulty.

And just half a month ago, when even grassroots, tree bark, firewood could not be found, and water could not be found, the hungry people turned their attention to each other.

On a dark and windy night, people in the wolf howls, green lights gazes and kill each other. Yes, they bite them. In order to survive, they caught people like zombies and bite them...

Tao's father woke up from hunger. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he woke up the people around him and tried his best to escape.

God blessed, the four members of the Tao family and the three members of the Fu family used their strength to rush and crawl out, and now they are the only two families left to walk together on the way.

It was supposed to be a family of five. Their two daughters had already been sold by them on the road for two bowls of millet. After the hellish night, it was probably a disaster.

Women are always sacrificed first, and they are called voluntary.

Now the remaining mistress of the Fu family, Liu, is going out to dig out grass roots.

At this time, Lao Fu and Xiao Fu were unkempt and thin, with a skeleton-like appearance, ragged in clothes, patches, and were wearing short brown invisible cloth.

Look at others! I don’t give in to my clothes.

His hands are as thin as dead branches, his skin is dark and rough, and his nails are covered with mud. Tao Qini, the miserable original body, really won't look at him again.

The weather was hot, and the two people on the other side were even shirtless, but they still couldn't stop the sweat from falling, and their bodies were washed into more homely dirty lines.

Fortunately, this land temple is dilapidated and airtight, otherwise the smell will be unbearable.

Tao Qini looked at the two of them with lifeless eyes, looking at the boy who was sitting cross-legged under the lame altar, sitting cross-legged on the broken straw mat with his eyes closed.

Lao Fu licked his dry, cracked and colorless lips, and a hint of cruelty and greed flashed through his numb eyes as if he was looking at the best delicious food.

Although the boy's face was gray, it was much cleaner than them. He was white and tender. He was wearing a blue shirt and a bun wrapped in a square scarf of the same color. At first glance, he looked like a scholar without any strength to tie a chicken.

This strange atmosphere permeates this small land temple.

Tao Qi Nicole is not in the mood to care about other people's life and death. What she cares about now is how to get out alive.

His eyes turned to his original parents, the honest tenant farmer, his hometown was plagued by disaster, and even the landlords in the city fled to famine, let alone those who were barely in their families.

I had to take all my belongings and push the only wheelbarrow and follow the villagers out to live.

But this starvation is everywhere and is barren, so it is not that easy to survive.

Especially that night was like a nightmare, and I was frightened to varying degrees, but the bare survival was in front of me, and the frightening frightening was insignificant.

Tao Qini looked at her original parents. At this time, her mother Shen was pounding the elm bark in a bluestone mortar the size of a palm.

My father Tao Shiwu put the crushed elm bark on a stone mill as thick as an adult's waist, and shaking his hands to completely grind the elm bark into powder and then boiled it into porridge.

That’s right, they only eat these now. Compared to Guanyin soil, they are bark and plants at least.

Speaking of tree bark, I have to thank the boy under the altar. If the Tao family had not met him and found the water source and the bark under his leadership, their final outcome would be death.

The honest farmers can't even find them. How can they survive in this situation?

Scholars are knowledgeable. This is what Tao’s father said, and now they treat young people as gods.

Her brother Tao Liuyi picked up dead grass and flints, making a crackling sound, and made a fire outside the door, intending to boil the water in the clay pot placed on the simple stove that was temporarily built by three stones.

The broken temple door with double doors was gone, and the remaining half of the door was shaky, as if it had fallen down the next moment.

Shen raised his eyes and looked at Tao Qini's dark Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, and a smile appeared on his simple face, "Ni'er, the meal will be ready after a while." His voice was not breathy and he was obviously hungry.

Tao Qini nodded mechanically, leaned her head against the earthen wall, staring blankly at the blue sky.

I am really not used to this kind of warmth when it comes to a murder machine without emotions.

Shen looked at Tao Qini who was silent, approached Tao Shiwu worriedly, and shouted in a low voice, "His father, his father."

"Huh?" Tao Shiwu snorted softly, and his big hand, which was roughly like a dead tree bark, pushed the stone mill in his hand.

"Why do I think Ni'er wakes up differently?" Shen glanced at Tao Qini and said in a low voice.

"What's the difference?" Tao Shiwu replied to her in a rough voice.

"This has been yelling that I'm hungry, and suddenly I don't say anything, which makes people worry." Shen's eyes were full of worry.

"It's useless to know that calling is useless, so it's better to save some effort!" Tao Shiwu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

"Are you scared?" Shen said worriedly.

"So what if you're scared? As long as you're still breathing, you'll be alive." Tao Shiwu urged without raising his head, "Hurry up, add the bark."

"Oh! Oh!" Shen quickly put the crushed elm bark in the eyes of the stone mill when he heard this.

Shen tilted his head and pounded the elm bark in his hand, but he couldn't think of the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on the work in his hand. No matter what, he solved this meal first.

Tao Qini was so hungry that she couldn't hold on anymore, so she simply lay down and closed her eyes. She knew that her daughter was better than her mother. She had to admire Shen's keen feeling.

&*&

It is not very accurate to say that it is a killing machine. To be precise, she is killing zombies.

As the best genetically modified person in the empire, with strong physical strength and excellent learning ability, eliminating emotional genes and killing without blinking, it is definitely the best weapon.

When siegeing zombies, due to information errors, the zombies were dragged by her palace back to retreat, and they bought time for the brothers who were born and died, but they were eaten up by the zombies.

Information error? Tao Qini's eyes were slightly cold. How could an empire with powerful technology have an error in information?

But he is just a victim of interests. Although the common enemy of mankind is a zombie, the traditional skill of intrigue has never stopped.

I just hope that my brothers can return to the base safely.

When I woke up again, I didn't expect to come here. Although on the way to escape, there are green mountains and clear waters, and the sweet and intoxicating air on the way to escape from the dusty sky. In the future, there are delicious foods recorded in ancient books that can make her feast, and there is no disgusting corpse stinking.

It seems that it is not that difficult to bear to be hungry now, as long as you go out alive.

Wait! What is this? Storage capsules come with it, what is this? You can’t use it even if you come!

There are all kinds of high-tech products in it, but there are no foods she urgently needs now, namely carbohydrates.

Technology has developed to the point where no grains are needed to supplement nutrition, which is also the doomsday era and natural conditions cannot be cultivated!

People have developed various nutrient solution, but these are not edible now. Without strong body support, drinking these nutrient solution will only explode immediately and die.

It's such a waste of joy!

Just as my eyes were about to leave my body, I found something I had never seen before appeared in my storage capsule.

Water! It’s good to have water. In a dry place, no water source can be found, and death will come to them at any time.

Tao Qini mocked herself: If you can’t find the bark, you can still fill it with water, and at least you can support it for a while.

A shallow pit of one meter in diameter collapsed in the center of the capsule, and water was gurgling but it would not overflow.

It's really strange. As long as you don't flood your storage capsule, you don't have time to care about it now.

The most important thing now is to fill your stomach. Even hunters must have a handy cold weapon!

Fortunately, there are cold weapons in the storage capsules that are close to each other, so she won’t be caught blindly, but how to take them out is reasonable!

For the benefit of rule, the current imperial court does not allow farmers to possess iron tools, and even kitchen knives are not allowed to possess them.
