Time in a collapsing world

After working for a long time, Liya only found three fry and six small shrimps, which were obviously not enough for lunch.

"..."

Li looked at the sky. The sun was almost setting, and he was still worried about lunch... No, he should be able to have dinner now, right?

Alicia was still making her little man, maybe because she didn't have enough materials, so she rolled up her sleeves and fished up more sand from the stream.

"……gone."

Li shouted to Alicia. Under the long exposure to the sun, his originally soaked clothes had long since dried.

"Okay~?"

Alicia responded first, and then showed Li the result of her long-term labor, a cute Q version of Li, "Li, look, you are cute when I pinch you, aren't you?"

Li stared at the clay figure held in Alicia's hand. Apart from the shape of a person, Li couldn't tell its identity at all, but Alicia said it was him... that was him.

"Yeah, very cute."

"Great!"

With a cheer, Alicia took out another villain from behind, the same shape, and the same difficulty in identifying the person, "What about this one?"

"……cute."

"guess who is this?"

"you."

There were only two of them present. Apart from Celia's mother, whom Alicia often mentioned before, Liya only knew Alicia.

"Li, you guessed it right, so smart!"

"..."

Not happy at all.

Alicia pinched the left and right hands of the two villains together, "Look, Li and Alicia are good friends~?"

"...Alicia, I have some bad news to tell you."

Good friends are good friends. Li just wants to solve the problem of eating as soon as possible.

"We're going to be hungry today, right?"

Alicia spoke first.

"Ah."

Li looked at her with an apology in her eyes. After all, most of the fruits that Alicia found before went into her stomach. Alicia only ate half of them, so she should be the hungriest one now. Already?

"Gotta find some other food, this creek is poor."

Li showed the small fish and shrimp he had just caught and said helplessly.

"But... there seems to be no food nearby? I also finished picking the fruit tree from before..."

Alicia held the two little figures holding hands and refused to put them down, feeling a little embarrassed.

"food……"

Li touched his chin and thought. At this moment, an unknown white object fell from the air and hit Li's feet, almost falling on his head.

Li looked up and saw a pigeon with gray and white feathers. It was very fat and kept cooing, as if it was mocking the two hungry and unlucky humans.

"..."

Lunch... no, dinner is ready.

Li looked at Alicia, who seemed to know Li's thoughts and covered her eyes with her hands. Although she likes cute little animals, she also likes their meat, as long as she doesn't see the slaughter scene. , then she can enjoy the bodies of small animals without any psychological pressure.

Okay, Alicia agreed, so tonight’s dinner will be pigeon meat.

……

After a while, Li picked up one of the pigeon's legs and walked with Alicia towards the original location of Theofel.

There was a bloody hole in the pigeon's chest, which was cut down accurately by Li with a sharp branch while it was hovering in the air.

Alicia walked in the front. Although her love for small animals made her unable to bear to look at the poor little pigeon, the glint at the corner of her mouth still betrayed the fact that she was looking forward to the pigeon meat tonight.

But when they returned to the place, they found that Teofil was missing. In addition to some destroyed trees, there was also the remains of a helicopter that was burned by flames not far away.

what happened?

Li and Alicia looked at each other. The latter had a worried look on his face and wanted to get closer to the helicopter wreckage, but was stopped by Li and walked over on his own.

As soon as Li got closer, he found several human corpses in the wreckage. They were already dead. Although they were burned by the flames for a long time, it could still be seen that they were all wearing uniform uniforms. They should belong to something. human group.

Suppressing the inexplicable thought of whipping corpses in his mind, Li moved a large piece of separate iron sheet and covered all the corpses underneath.

"Li, what is that?"

When Li turned around and came back, Alicia quickly asked, she had never seen such a strange iron monster before...

"Human helicopters."

Li searched for this word in his mind.

"Is this broken?"

Alicia wanted to get closer out of curiosity, but Li refused, "It smells bad, so don't get close."

Although it was simply covered with an iron sheet, who knew whether Alicia would open it?

As for human corpses...it's better not to let her see them yet.

"Huh? What does it smell like?"

Alicia was curious again.

"What smell do you hate the most?"

"Um...trash can?"

"The smell over there is a hundred times worse than the trash can." Li said in shock.

"Ah...then I can't go there."

Alicia immediately retreated, "What about Theophel? It's gone. Was there an accident?"

"It left, maybe there was something temporary."

Li pointed at the various trees trampled down by the giant in a certain direction, which should be the direction Theofel left.

That's what he said, but Li knew very well in her heart that Teofel didn't just leave, but was being hunted, as evidenced by the circular scorch marks left on the trees.

This should be a human bullet, right? It seems like he has seen it many times before?

"What a pity, I haven't said goodbye to it properly yet..."

Alicia seemed to believe Li's words and didn't dwell on this issue too much. Instead, she thought of another question: "Are we going to have to walk on our own the rest of the way?"

After enjoying the feeling of riding a beast, Alicia no longer wanted to walk.

"It shouldn't be far."

Li comforted her, then took out tonight's ingredients and changed the subject: "Let's have dinner, you must be very hungry?"

"Then I'll light the fire~?"

Alicia volunteered, "I used to watch the uncle next door demonstrate how to make fire by drilling wood. It looked very easy!"

"no problem?"

Li didn't know much about this, so it would be great if Alicia could do something about it.

"No problem! After all, you have put in so much effort, of course I have to help too~?"

Alicia said firmly.

"Be careful."

As a final reminder, Li decided to let Alicia show her hand, while he found a place to remove all the pigeon's internal organs.
