Chapter 412 Tragedy
It was just an ordinary camphor tree, with a rose clinging to its trunk, sharing the sunshine with it.

After the fragments, even an ordinary rose flower is much bigger than before. Each of its petals is the size of a washbasin, and the thorns on the stem are more than one meter long. It is long and has barbs, like spears.

The butcher bird obviously regarded this rose plant as a convenient food storage place. It would intersperse all kinds of prey it caught on the spikes of the rose, waiting for their flesh to become soft and easy to eat.

Li Yu made a rough count and found that there were at least dozens of prey strung on this huge rose flower, the most numerous of which were all kinds of alienated monsters.

Li Yu couldn't help but sigh as he watched those alienated monsters that were difficult for ordinary people to defeat being strung on flower branches and waiting to be corrupted.

Human beings have occupied the top of the food chain for thousands of years, and now they have finally fallen down.

Neville ran out of the cab, staring dumbfounded at Li Yu's casual handling of the huge butcher bird, feeling a little lost for a moment.

Seeing the huge body of the butcher bird gradually covered by green grass, Li Yu suddenly realized that he should not let these speculators of nature take advantage so easily.

Besides, they don't have much food and need supplies.

"Go find two clean bags in the car." Li Yu instructed Neville who was still in a daze.

After cutting off the grass roots with a knife, Li Yu pushed aside the grass that had climbed up the butcher bird's body, and then began to dissect the giant bird's body.

Considering that the smell of blood on the car should not be too strong, Li Yu only selected the best parts of the bird's legs and wings for cutting, and discarded most of the corpses.

Neville found two large plastic bags from the car to put the meat in.When the two plastic bags were full, Li Yu poured some white wine on the plastic bags to slow down the spoilage of the meat and cover up the smell of blood.

After doing all this, Li Yu put the bird meat into the trunk of the car and sat back in the passenger seat.

"Is she better?" Li Yu looked at Gu Xue who was lying on the back seat, her head was resting on Huang Meili's lap, her complexion was still pale.

"I gave her some wine." Huang Meili stretched out her hand to gently stroke Gu Xue's long hair, her voice weary.

"We're going to need antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and, ideally, stitches if we're going to guarantee her recovery."

Li Lei gave up his seat so that Gu Xue could lie down. He sat on the ground in the back seat and said, "According to our travel route, we should pass a pharmacy later. Medicines are also necessary supplies for us. You can Get some medicine there to take away."

Li Yu nodded, patted Neville who was still playing with the "Proud Blood" knife, and said, "Let's go, if you don't go, grass will grow on the wheels."

Neville was obviously very interested in the "Proud Blood" knife. When he played with it, his eyes were full of stars. When Li Yu told him to drive, he pouted, put down the knife, and started the jeep.

Nivelle is not very old, but he drives surprisingly stably. In addition, the shock absorption of this Road Lion Jeep is very good, so he didn't have too much anxiety along the way.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the door of the pharmacy mentioned earlier.

The pharmacy had obviously been patronized by alienated monsters, the glass door was smashed to pieces, and there were a lot of splattered blood stains on the steps and in the storefront.

"I'll go in and look for medicine, you guys are waiting for me in the car." Li Yu said and was about to get out of the car.

"No, I'll go with you!" Huang Meili moved away slowly, allowing Gu Xue's head to move away from her lap smoothly.

"It's too dangerous outside the car!" Li Yu frowned, preventing Huang Meili from getting out of the car.

Li Lei gently held Gu Xue's head and stopped her from rolling to the ground. He said, "I agree to let Sister Huang go with you. Her pharmacology is much better than yours, and she understands the value of medicine better."

"Okay." Li Yu pondered for a moment.

He put the pistol in his arms into Neville's hands, glanced at Gu Xue and the little boy, and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave them to you for protection, and we'll be back in 10 minutes at most."

Neville nodded vigorously.

Li Yu was the first to get out of the car, holding the Proud Blood Knife.

After looking around and making sure there was no danger, Li Yu signaled Huang Meili to get off the car.

Huang Meili held the trekking pole Neville had used earlier, took a deep breath, opened the car door and walked out, quickly running behind Li Yu.

The weeds in front of the pharmacy have grown to half the height of a person. Huang Meili lowered her head and could not see her feet, only the green grass surrounding her waist.Feeling the roots of the grass, tentatively touching his ankles.

The shadows of the surrounding trees are whirling, covering the sunlight falling in the sky, and the shade of the trees is shaking with the breeze.

Her body was tense, goosebumps appeared on her arms, and she felt like there were countless pairs of eyes peering at her from places where the sun could not shine.

Huang Meili unconsciously leaned her body tightly against Li Yu's back, and felt a little more at ease.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Li Yu felt the fear of his companion and comforted him.

He stepped carefully across the shattered glass door of the pharmacy, and the broken glass made a harsh friction sound under his feet, which made Huang Meili's heart tighten.

But nothing happened until the two entered the pharmacy.

There were no alienated monsters roaring towards them, and no strange mutated animals lurking in the dark to sneak up on them.

Both Li Yu and Huang Meili breathed a sigh of relief.

"10 minutes, I'll be on alert, you go find medicine!" Li Yu said, holding the knife.

"En." Huang Meili nodded, and then walked towards the counter where the prescription medicines were placed.

However, as soon as she walked into the counter, she exclaimed and quickly backed out.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu rushed over with a knife in hand.

Huang Meili covered her mouth, pointed to the counter, and said, "There's a monster inside!"

Li Yu frowned, shielded Huang Meili behind her, held down the handle of the knife, and walked into the counter.With his current perception, in such a small space, there shouldn't be any creatures that he can't detect.

Inside the counter where the prescription medicines were placed, Li Yu first saw an alienated monster lying on his back motionless on the ground, no sound of breathing had long been heard.

"He's dead." Li Yu said to Huang Meili.

The mutation of this alienated monster seems to be incomplete, and the human facial features have not completely disappeared on its face.Judging from the broken clothing, it seems to be a woman.

The cause of death was a knife stabbed firmly in his throat.

"Did you die?" Huang Meili breathed a sigh of relief before she dared to come forward.

At this time, Li Yu saw that not too far from the dead alienated monster, there was another person lying on the ground, who had also been dead for a long time.

This is a completely normal human being, a completely normal middle-aged man.He was wearing the kind of white coat common in pharmacies, and he didn't have any scars on his body, except that his mouth was open and his lips were bruised, like a fish that had dried up and died.

In his hand was an empty box of Valium and a thin accounting book.

Huang Meili also saw the dead middle-aged man. She walked over and stood in front of the dead man, clasped her hands together, and recited a sutra in a low voice.

Li Yu picked up the accounting book from the deceased's hand and opened it.

On the first page of the account book, there is only one sentence: "I killed my lover with my own hands!!!!"
