When the potato and eggplant stewed kidney beans in the stainless steel wok exuded a pretty attractive aroma, Chu Dong opened the lid of the pressure cooker.

"Ah...how could it be...it was obviously done according to the proportion, did you put too much water..."

The rice in the pot was so flooded that it could be regarded as thick porridge, which made my sister Chu Xue feel a little disappointed.

However, it is better to have waterlogged than to dry it. If you put too much water, you can eat it as porridge, but if you put less water, the rice will be so hard that it cannot be swallowed.

"Huh? Xiaodong, what are you going to do?"

"It's okay, I'll go get some breath...don't..."

Seeing this pot of white and sticky semi-solid food, Chu Dong felt his empty stomach start to churn, and he had to put down the lid of the pot and hurriedly leave the kitchen with his mouth covering his mouth.

It can be said that the dinner that day was actually all right except for the rice. Although there was no meat added to the stewed potatoes and eggplant kidney beans, and they were not stir-fried first, the slightly heavier salt and soy sauce covered up these shortcomings; the remaining bitter melon, cucumber, green pepper and onion were dipped in some sauce when eaten raw, and it became a refreshing dish that was very suitable for summer.

Therefore, on the dining table under the romantic candlelight, except Chu Dong had no appetite, her sister and Lu Jiao ate a lot, even more than they usually eat. Maybe they wanted to survive in this world full of monsters and try their best to reserve energy.

"I'm full."

With the caring eyes of his sister and childhood sweetheart, Chu Dong just gritted his teeth and ate half a bowl of sticky white porridge, put down his chopsticks, then quickly left the dining room as if he was running away, and returned to his and his sister's room.

In the dark room, Chu Dong poked his body out of the window and looked around. After nightfall, it was dark within his sight - but only the dining room where his sister and childhood sweethearts were located was lighted.

At this time, the community was silent. Chu Dong felt that there should be few survivors in this community, perhaps he and his sister... and childhood sweetheart Lu Jiao are already all survivors.

Although this seems to be a bit too coincidental, if there were other survivors, they would not have made any noise for the whole afternoon, right?

The residential building where the Chu Dong family is located has five floors, three door holes, two door holes per door hole, and one building is thirty.

Each family is calculated based on three people, and there are 90 people in a building, and the five or six nearby buildings should have a total of about 500 people.

Because it was noon on Saturday, most families were either outside or at home. Let’s just count as 60% of the families were at home, which was 300 people.

Among these 300 people, only three of them should have survived, and the surviving rate is exactly 1%.

Although he could not count the number of survivors at all, according to the proportion of survivors in this community, the most optimistic estimate is that "only" 99% of humans have mutated into monsters.

Among the remaining 1% of humans who have not mutated, only those who are alone in a closed environment have a higher chance of survival - such as Lu Jiao; otherwise, even if they are in a community with no crowds at all, they may not be able to survive like Chu Dong and Chu Xue.

Assuming that the final surviving rate of humans without mutation is 10%, then 6 million people may be the number of survivors in the world, with the number of humans and monsters being 1,000 times different.

If the 1.3 million survivors in China are averaged to more than 660 cities, more than 1,600 counties and more than 850 municipal districts in China, then there are only 400 survivors within the jurisdiction of each county and city, and the average number of people may be less than 1 in each residential community.

Even if this number is expanded by three or five times, all the survivors in China will only be a few million, which is insignificant compared to the 1.3 billion population of China.

"Xiaodong... are there already monsters in this world?"

At some point, Lu Jiao and her sister, who had finished cleaning the tableware, had already stood behind Chu Dong with candles. Seeing Lu Jiao's crying face, Chu Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness at the end of the road.

But in front of these two girls, even if he wants to cry, he can't cry!

"Although we may be surrounded by monsters, no matter how many of these unmoving monsters are, it is only a matter of time to eliminate them."

Chu Dong shrugged easily, as if he didn't take those monsters seriously at all, but he hid some very important words in his heart and didn't say them out.

——If survivors from each region gather together and have guns in their hands, these unmoving monsters will of course be quickly eliminated; but the reality is that survivors are scattered around the world in groups of three or three, and there is no convenient channel for obtaining thermal weapons. Even in countries where guns are allowed, ordinary people have serious lack of experience in shooting guns.

Moreover, Chu Dong believed that these monsters should be in the early stage of mutation now, and only monsters in this stage would stand still and could only wait for the rabbit to prey on the living creatures around them.

When the monsters pass through the early stage of mutation, they will not be so easy to deal with. Whether the survivors can continue to survive by then depends on how high the monster's intelligence is, and on the other hand, it depends on whether the monster's hunting target is limited to humans.

It can be said that human life and death are no longer under the control of human beings.

"Okay... to save candles, let's go to bed now."

Chu Dong hid his concerns about the future in his heart, and made a slightly ambiguous suggestion to his sister and Lu Jiao as if nothing had happened.

"Then, come to my house to sleep!"

Before Chu Dong finished speaking, Lu Jiao quickly sent an invitation. It seemed that she had not thought about anything before, but her too delicate appearance always subconsciously thought that she must be a good baby without any opinion.

"Go to your house...it's fine."

Although it was a bit awkward to spend the night at Lu Jiao's house, considering that the body of the parents who had become a monster was still left in another room, the two of them happily accepted Lu Jiao's invitation.

Speaking of which, this is the first time they spent the night at Lu Jiao’s house since they were young. If the end of the world did not come, they might never spend the night at Lu Jiao’s house.

"By the way, do you want to take a shower? My water heater is solar-powered and there is water inside."

After returning to her home, Lu Jiao seemed to breathe a little relieved, and then she immediately proposed to take a shower. It seemed that she had probably "premeditated" to let the Chu brothers and sisters accompany her to take a bath and sleep.

"Then just make a quick move, everyone will be more frugal."

Seeing Lu Jiao's expectant gaze, Chu Dong, who had used the water from the rice to wash vegetables before, used the water from the vegetables to wash potatoes, and left the water from the potatoes to flush the toilet, sighed in his heart, without denying her proposal.

Although the water in the solar water heater should be stored, even Chu Dong himself really doesn't want to drink the water in the water heater, so it is even more impossible for his sister and Lu Jiao to drink the water originally used to take a bath.

Moreover, Chu Dong had never thought of staying in such a place where water, electricity, gas was completely cut off, so he didn't have to be too stingy in using water. Anyway, there was drinking water in the supermarket, so they didn't have to try every means to take away all the water at home when they left.

“…”

Just as Lu Jiao was about to thank her, Chu Xue, who was holding the candle, suddenly turned silently and walked out the door, which made Lu Jiao's heart suddenly lift.

"Xiao, Xiaoxue, where are you going?"

Perhaps because of fear of being abandoned, Lu Jiao's voice unconsciously revealed a sense of fear. Chu Xue turned her head and looked at her faintly, and then said calmly:

“I just went back to get the replacement pants.

Brother, do you want me to help you get your underwear?"

"No...I'll go down with you."

When talking to his younger sister about holding underwear, even Chu Dongzhe felt a little blushing. Without his sister's words, he offered to go with his younger sister.

"Wait, wait, I'll go together..."

After following Chu Dong and Chu Xue back to get the bath tools, replacing clothes and toiletries, Lu Jiao finally got her wish and entered the bathroom. After she went in, it was Chu Xue. It was Chu Dong's turn to wait until the two girls finished washing.

“Mush…

Xiao, Xiaodong, can I come in?"

The door was knocked thirty seconds after Chu Dong entered the bathroom, and Lu Jiao's shy and timid voice came in from outside.

If there is anything else to look forward to in the end of the world, it is nothing more than a shameless and impatient "multiple love relationship". The originally arrogant white and rich beauty put down her airs and took the initiative to sacrifice herself. Is there anything more exciting in the world than this?

"Is there anything wrong?"

Because he knew that such a situation would never happen, Chu Dong calmly opened the bathroom door with a candle. The first thing he appeared in front of him was the shy and timid pink noodles of childhood sweethearts, but unexpectedly, his sister floated behind Lu Jiao like a ghost.

——Although my sister's face also had a beautiful blush, Chu Dong knew very well that it was just because she had just taken a shower.

"I, I'll come in and get something..."

The childhood sweetheart explained to him in a little embarrassed manner, then lowered his head and got into the bathroom from him. He took out the pants he had just changed from in the basket to wash clothes, and then hurriedly ran out, almost extinguishing the candle. And his sister glanced at him in the swaying candlelight, and said nothing, and turned around and walked away silently.
