Chapter 3, Characteristics of the First Stage of Stonemasonry Disease

Fortunately, there are still some compressed biscuits and the like, although they are as hard as stones, they should still be barely edible

It is still very dangerous here

The wild wolf outside sniffed for a while, slowly approaching the decayed wooden door of the newsstand, seemingly wanting to enter

Aww

Moreover, the deer head is relatively intact

Clearly, this is the tactic of the wolf pack

At the same time, several customers were seated in the hall, some of whom were even eating.

After resting for a few minutes and waiting until there was no more movement outside, Shen Feng finally picked up the motionless snake and cautiously walked out of the newsstand

There may not be many seasonings, but as long as there is salt and cumin, the grilled meat will have its soul

The outbreak of the stone disease in the final stage seemed to occur in an instant, with many people not even having the time to react before they were completely petrified

Taking another sip of Pu-erh tea, the golden brew is rich and thick, with a lingering taste. Shen Feng leans back in his chair, so comfortable that his eyebrows seem to be about to fall off

At this moment, Shen Feng had found a dilapidated restaurant. He pushed open the rusted door and walked in, then turned around to secure the door properly before letting out a long sigh

Shen Feng's body was instantly covered in goosebumps, as he frantically swallowed the saliva in his mouth, his heart pounding like a drum.

Pushing the squeaking shopping cart around, Shen Feng's cart was already full as he returned to the fast food area outside the supermarket

The aroma of venison instantly spreads in the mouth, with a tender yet uniquely chewy texture. The savory flavor of the meat intertwines with the fragrance of cumin, composing a delicious symphony.

There is no need to say, the items in the fruit and vegetable section have been rotting for an unknown number of years, appearing dark and completely inedible

Compared to the various types of apocalyptic scenarios he had previously encountered, the statue apocalypse can still be considered a low-intensity apocalypse, and yet it is already this dangerous

A howl of a wolf echoed, as the largest alpha wolf among the pack stood atop a rusty off-road vehicle, letting out a cry that immediately prompted the other wild wolves to join in unison with their howls

Shen Feng's eyes narrowed sharply as he slipped into the nearby newsstand, gently closing the door behind him and locking it securely from the inside

Approximately dozens of stone statues are scattered in various places, clearly representing customers who are shopping

The snake unexpectedly flicked its tongue and licked the beads of sweat on his chin

On Shen Feng's neck, the viper was also disturbed, slowly crawling down from his body to the ground

Joint noise

Just as the spotted deer was about to dash across the street, two wild wolves suddenly appeared at the other end of the street, blocking the deer's path!

Shen Feng's face instantly turned pale

After the water boiled, a few iron rods were heated, and then some wooden benches found in the supermarket were split with an axe to form a small bonfire. Only then was the prepared venison placed on top, beginning to be turned and roasted while salt and cumin were sprinkled on it.

A well-fed wolf let out a low growl as it slowly sauntered beside the newsstand, its nose twitching continuously as it gazed at the stand.

The snake was right on his neck, its head slightly raised, staring at his face.

The entire deer was found eviscerated, its entrails completely removed, and the areas with more fat on the hind legs and hindquarters had been gnawed clean, leaving only a considerable amount of meat on the ribs inside

Finding joy amidst suffering, this is indeed speaking of oneself

A cool and smooth sensation is felt, still gently gliding.

Once discovered by the other party and calling for the pack of wolves, one's fate will not be much better than that of the spotted deer

Immediately following, a dozen robust wild wolves charged forward. These wolves are of enormous size, each measuring two to three meters in length, and are undoubtedly ferocious beasts

It seems that the wolf pack was not particularly hungry; a dozen wild wolves managed to satisfy themselves with just one sika deer.

When the sika deer was driven into this street, it had already fallen into a trap

Truly, there is nothing that has completely deteriorated, only salt and wine, along with some sun-dried spices

At this moment, one finally feels the terror of the apocalypse, as humanity has detached from society and become isolated individuals, facing the constant threat of life danger

Delicious

While grilling, Shen Feng conveniently washed several plates and teacups he had just found, and brewed a cup of aged Pu'er tea

In the fast food area of the supermarket, there are several stone statues behind the counter, some of which are holding food that has turned into a pile of black charcoal, with expressions of shock on their faces

The sika deer did not even have the chance to cry out in agony before being brought down to the ground, as a dozen or so wild wolves surged forward, beginning to tear into it frantically

When the world of humanity was destroyed, amidst the vast urban jungle, animals reclaimed their homes once again, becoming the sole masters of this place

The newsstand's door has long since rotted beyond repair, the wooden walls are drafty all around, and a strong push might just break it open. It is imperative that the wolf pack does not discover his presence

First, use two bottles of water to clean a cast iron pot and set it up, then place dozens of candles underneath it

When the food for beasts is abundant and they are not particularly hungry, they will be selective in their eating. After consuming the most nutritious organs and fats, they will still leave behind a considerable amount of food

Shen Feng caught a glimpse of the triangular head of the snake and the black mottled patterns on its body, immediately recognizing it as a highly venomous viper

Hidden beside the statue of the newspaper stand owner, looking out through the cracks in the surrounding floorboards, the spotted deer has already dashed to the side of the newspaper stand and then swiftly passed by

The wolf pack arrived swiftly and departed just as quickly, soon vanishing around the street corner overgrown with mugwort, leaving behind a bloody carcass of a deer

After observing his surroundings, he swiftly dashed towards the remaining sika deer

As expected, after Shen Feng completely left the neighborhood, chaotic footsteps and howls echoed behind him, as if wild dogs or similar animals had appeared, and several birds of prey also descended from the sky

Of course, it is necessary to boil again for disinfection

Some matches had already become damp, but fortunately, most of them were still usable. He struck one to produce a small flame and hurriedly brought it to a candle to light it

Once bitten, there will be absolutely no place for oneself to be buried

What truly matters to him are those bottled water and barrel water

If either party is disturbed, he will die

Pu-erh tea is originally known to taste better with age, and in this apocalyptic world, all Pu-erh tea is aged tea

At the very moment the viper's head touched the ground, Shen Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly swung his right hand holding the knife downward, forcefully plunging the fruit knife into the snake's head, pinning it to the ground

Shen Feng found several clean towels in the kitchen and laid them on the table, then placed the venison and deer head on top, and began to move around the supermarket

A total of nearly 2 pounds of venison was roasted, and Shen Feng finished it all in one go, as if swept away by the wind, and then drank all the tea in his cup, patting his belly in satisfaction

Sweat beads quickly emerged from his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and dripped from his chin

Shen Feng held his breath, daring not to move as he locked eyes with the wild wolf through the gap in the wall.

It detected Shen Feng's scent

Hiss ... ...

Characteristics of the first stage of stone disease

The first wild wolf suddenly pounced from the side, but only left a scratch on the body of the sika deer

Although some have turned green and spoiled, and a considerable amount has evaporated, most of it still appears to be drinkable

Shen Feng made a concerted effort to hold his breath, remaining motionless in a half-kneeling position on the ground, his hand tightly gripping the fruit knife.

It is a snake

Having narrowly escaped the first attack, the speed of the sika deer suddenly decreased, and the second wolf instantly pounced on it, sinking its teeth fiercely into its neck

The pack of wolves quickly devoured more than half of the sika deer, leaving behind a bloody skeleton

Soon, the meat was ready. Shen Feng took a fragrant piece of roasted venison off the fire, examined the oily strip of meat carefully, gently blew on it, and took a soft bite.

Although Shen Feng found some canned goods, they all had a strange taste once opened, making him too afraid to eat them

Shen Feng immediately used a fruit knife to cut off several strips of meat weighing approximately four to five pounds from the deer's ribcage. After a moment's thought, he picked up the deer's head and quickly left the area, running towards the street upwind.

This is a large supermarket, through the thick glass windows, one can see the situation outside, and there is a back door for exit, making it a decent dining location

At that moment, a black scarf-like object suddenly fell from the statue of the newspaper stand owner, landing precisely around Shen Feng's neck

Other vacuum-packed foods have mostly expanded, leaked air, and deteriorated.

If this city has completely transformed into a jungle, then the remnants of food left by the wolf pack after feeding, along with the strong scent of blood, will attract other predators, not only scavengers but perhaps also some powerful carnivores

The viper struggled desperately, but was firmly held down by Shen Feng's hands on the hilt of the knife, unable to escape.

Then I stretched lazily, and suddenly heard a series of crackling sounds throughout my body, as if my bones had become rigid.

After a while, when the snake's body had completely stopped convulsing, Shen Feng finally relaxed his entire body and sat down with a thud.

He currently possesses only a small, worn fruit knife, and if spotted by the wolf pack, he is doomed

The sounds of tearing flesh and crunching bones echoed continuously, accompanied by the low growls of wild wolves, as the air was thick with the heavy scent of blood

Shen Feng poured all the large boxes of matches onto the table and then began to test them one by one

His back is already soaked with sweat

After the call, the lead wolf turned and left, and the wolf pack immediately followed closely behind. The wild wolf outside the newsstand did not bother to check what was inside and turned to catch up with the pack.

Outside there are wolf packs, and inside there are venomous snakes. Shen Feng could only feel his heart racing, yet he did not dare to move at all

As the flames ignited and dozens of candles were lit, Shen Feng poured several large bottles of water into the pot to bring it to a boil
