Chapter 29

Like a huge fireball, when the sun fell to the horizon, a green modified car drove into Yinshu city.

Ji'an was on pins and needles. His vision always inevitably floated to the soldier sitting opposite him. The guy who lifted himself up with one hand, Ji'an will never forget his eyes when he looked at himself. There was no anger, no contempt, no violence, and no pity in that look. Yes, just as calm as autumn water.

The calm made the black heart cold, which meant that Ji'an was no different from the corpses on the side of the road in the heart of the owner with these eyes. At that time, as long as the thumb and index finger holding his throat closed gently, Ji'an believed that it could easily crush his Adam's apple. Even broke his neck.

But it was such a terrible man. After letting him and his young girl on the bus, the soldiers handed Teddy 20 yuan as promised, even if Teddy didn't dare to take it.

In turbulent times, there is no law. There is no order in the wilderness. Whoever has a big fist is the law. The force shown by zero can drive them out of the car or even kill them, and then grab the car and fly away. But he didn't. He just silently pulled his girlfriend into the car, and then chose a window seat to sit quietly.

Even so, no one wants to be close to zero. Sitting next to him is no easier than sitting next to a dead wolf.

When the car drove into Yinshu City, zero raised his head and looked out of the window. Silver tree city is not much different from two years ago. The streets in the city are cracked everywhere. The blood of people or wild animals is stained under the street lamp or a stop sign, which turns into brown spots because of fading. The vegetation in the city has disappeared, and the grass in front of those houses is now exposed to dry sand. In those dark windows, zero felt the danger.

But the feeling of danger is much weaker than two years ago. It can be seen that the monsters or mutants in the city have been greatly reduced.

This reminds zero of the migrating corpse wolves and monsters in silver tree city. I'm afraid more have left the abandoned city. But even so, zero didn't think it was a good idea to enter the city. Even if the car has been transformed, the machine gun on the roof of the car can easily tear down aggressive monsters, and the window reinforced with iron bars can be responsible for the attack of flexible creatures such as corpses.

The car finally stopped in front of a roadside gas station. Ji'an and several other men got off with shotguns and pistols, while Teddy, the driver, went to check several gasoline tanks. Zero left Leah in the car, but he got out of the car himself.

Even in the evening, the ground temperature is still frighteningly high, which can be seen from the heat rising from the soles of your feet. Ji'an several men subconsciously opened a little distance from zero. On the contrary, Teddy, a young man, was not too afraid of zero. The young driver took off his cap, shook his head and said, "shit, there's no gasoline in the tank."

"Nonsense, the city has been deserted for so long. It's amazing to have gasoline. But..." Ji'an looked at the convenience store at the gas station: "there should be some things that can be used, such as food or toilet medicine."

He waved to the convenience store and several men were about to follow. Zero stopped them: "I'll go, you protect the car and women."

Taking a step forward, zero turned around and swept the crowd with cold eyes like autumn water: "if I find that you have done anything strange, believe me, I will make you regret."

With that, zero was in Leah's sight and disappeared into the darkness of the convenience store.

In the jungle, a violent bear may not be as powerful as a pack of wolves. In this era of poor resources, teams are far easier to survive than individuals. There is still a long way to remt, and he will spend some time with teddy. Deterrence by force alone can only last for a short time and is extremely unreliable. So if you want them to become companions, the only way is to win their trust and make some contributions.

This is the only way to integrate into the team. Only by participating in it will everyone recognize you.

Naturally, or just one person, he doesn't have to be so troublesome. But he also took Leia. For the sake of the girl's safety, zero could only do something that seemed superfluous to him.

The convenience store was dark and quiet. Zero touched out the left wheel and held a pocket flashlight in the other hand as lighting. He felt into the gate and the shop was in a mess. Zero picked some food and medicine from those well preserved cabinets, and it was not in his consideration that things would not expire. As long as he takes things back, naturally someone will distinguish and choose.

There was no imagined danger in the convenience store, but when he was ready to flash, a slightly inaudible sound came into his ears.

The sound came from the lounge behind the convenience store.

Zero walked past. He gently pushed the door open with the muzzle of his gun.

Behind the door was a small room. The afterglow of the sunset fell on the edge of the window. The room was shrouded in a dark yellow light.

What catches the eye is a picture frame, which is not big. The photos inside have faded, but it is not difficult to see that an old couple are leaning together lovingly. This is simple and simple happiness.

Under the picture frame is a single bed, on which lies the body of an old woman. The body was dehydrated, leaving only a skin. The limbs, wrists and ankles of the body were tightly tied with cowhide rope. From the messy traces on the bed, it can be seen that the old woman had a violent struggle before she died.

Beside the bed was an old corpse. The corpse's hair has been taken off. Judging from his appearance, it is the old man in the photo. The corpse lay on the ground and could not move because the part below the thigh root had disappeared. Even if he was aware of the arrival of zero, the old corpse had no desire to attack. He just mechanically dug out the only rotten skin and meat in his thigh, and then sent it to his mouth to chew.

Zero was surprised. Mary, who turned into a corpse two years ago, remembered that her former lover had surprised zero. Two years later, a living corpse swallowing its own flesh and blood touched a soft place in zero's heart again.

From the complete body of the female corpse in bed, zero knows that the old corpse would rather eat his own meat than hurt his wife's hair.

Remember the oath in front of the holy palace. Whether rich or poor, whether old or dead, I will guard by your side and never give up!

Zero sighed, put down his pistol and took out his dagger. He went up, the dagger swept a light yellow rainbow on the sunset, wiped the throat of the old corpse, and unloaded his whole head.

Holding this head, zero put it quietly next to the female corpse, and then gently pull the quilt under the bed to cover them.

In this way, you can sleep forever. Like the countless nights many years ago, hug and sleep until the end of time!

After all this, he left the room and the convenience store silently.
