Chapter 5： real world

Su Changxing did not sleep too deeply, but was in a state of light sleep. In this state, he could vaguely perceive the surrounding situation during sleep.

This was also a skill that Su Changxing had unknowingly practiced in the past. At that time, he felt very insecure when sleeping, and was often in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.

When Su Changxing was very young, his parents disappeared for unknown reasons, leaving behind a considerable amount of property, and he was adopted by an unfamiliar cousin.

In the beginning, the family may have treated Xiao Changxing fairly well because of those property reasons, but after a long time, he felt that the family looked at him very strangely, and they usually didn't pay him much attention.

Su Changxing was very intelligent since he was a child. He knew that no one would be surprised if a terminally ill person died, and the property would naturally fall into the adopter's pocket.

······

Su Changxing suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep, and the sound of footsteps came from the passage outside the door.

The footsteps were heavy, wandering back and forth.

This should be a zombie. It seems to have sensed Su Changxing's existence and is looking for his location.

Su Changxing quietly picked up the phone to check the time.

4:50.

It's still early.

He opened the bottle cap and took a big gulp of water. The cool and refreshing feeling spread down his throat, and his mind slowly woke up.

Su Changxing took out his phone and glanced at the number of survivors.

[Number of survivors: 9 billion]

Sure enough, another 500 million people died, but the death rate was obviously decreasing. From the first few hours, 500 million people died, and then 500 million people died overnight.

The group of people who died at the beginning, except for those who were lucky, were people who could not adapt to this doomsday world at all, such as the elderly, children, and the disabled...

Su Changxing originally belonged to this category, but he survived.

It was still early, and the zombies might still be in a state of speed increase. To be on the safe side, Su Changxing decided to wait until the sun had fully risen before going out.

Su Changxing opened the forum, and a hot post caught his attention.

Xiao Feng Wan Yue: Last night, I looked out the window and saw a mysterious shop with lights on downstairs. I swear I have absolutely never seen this store before and it disappeared again this morning.

Reply 1: The landlord is not hysterical, how could there be a store with lights? I can't see a little light here at night.

Reply 2: It's scary, maybe it's encountering a ghost or something.

Reply 3: Even if it is true, I would not be particularly surprised, because it is unreasonable for us to be placed here.

Reply 4: Actually, I seem to have seen it too. I don’t know if I’m in the same place as the poster. I thought I was hallucinating before.

Reply 5: Coincidentally, I saw it too.

······

Through the reply to the post, Su Changxing learned that many people have seen such a mysterious store that is incompatible with the surrounding environment, and it can be ruled out that they saw the same store in the same place.

This shows that this is definitely not a special case, but some kind of general situation.

Will it be something like a discount store, a points store? There are discount stores, then there are stores with regular prices that are also very reasonable.

No one has been heard of going into the store on the forum so far, but Su Changxing must have been there, but they just didn't say anything about it.

Of course, all of this is just Su Changxing's guesswork, and the specifics will not be known until he goes to see it for himself.

The sound of pacing footsteps outside the door kept echoing.

With the rising of the sun, the dilapidated city gradually ushered in the light, and there was a glimmer of light from the crack of the small door.

A zombie wearing a tattered red mandarin jacket walked back and forth in the aisle, it seemed to be looking for something.

"Kang~"

The door behind the zombie was kicked open heavily.

Su Changxing appeared behind the zombie with a steel knife in his hand, and before the zombie could turn around, he slashed across its head with the knife.

Blood splattered, the steel knife sank into the skull, and the zombie was killed by Xu Changxing.

[Kill zombies, get 10 points]

"It's really a powerful force."

Su Changxing killed this zombie without spending too much effort. 4's strength was stronger than he imagined, comparable to some top strength athletes.

What he lacks now is his fighting skills, but to deal with these zombies who can only go straight, simple chopping is enough.

After that, Su Changxing began to search for supplies on this floor to see if there was anything useful. Even if he didn't need it, he could sell it and exchange it for points.

Every room is a mess, and the drawers of the cabinets have been opened, as if they have been searched before.

Open the drawer, and there is a dusty glass with a cartoon character that I have never seen printed on it.

Opening the drawer again, I found a notebook with yellowed pages, which seemed to be a work record report, with hundreds of pages densely packed with handwritten reports.

······

After searching two rooms, Su Changxing couldn't find anything useful, but he still patiently went from room to room, searching one by one, trying to find something useful.

In a corner under a table, Su Changxing found a mobile phone that was not broken but had no power. The brand of the mobile phone was never seen before.

A personal diary was also found in a closed cabinet.

April 4

The efficiency of the company is getting worse and worse, I guess it is going to go bankrupt, hehe, why do I feel gloating, am I becoming an unemployed vagrant if the company goes bankrupt?

April 12

The boss issued an unknown pill, saying that it can keep us working more efficiently and for a long time.

How can I eat such a strange thing.

April 15

Colleagues around who have taken pills are like robots and start working overtime. Is this the beginning of the so-called "007"?

What a sarcasm, I bet the world is going to end soon.

April 16

I got kicked out for refusing to take my meds, and it felt good, at least relaxed, and probably bums would be a good bet, too.

The diary ends here. There is no year, only the date. It seems that the owner of the diary does not have the habit of writing a diary at all, but just sends it out of feeling.

Su Changxing could feel that the world was already in an extremely depressed state before the apocalypse broke out. The company's employees needed to take drugs to work so that the company could keep up with the pace of society.

And there are already a large number of homeless people in the society.

Is it really a cliché doomsday world, or is it that the doomsday was born under such circumstances.

This is a real world, and there is a high probability that this is the case. Su Changxing made such a judgment from various details.

He was also lucky to find two bags of expired chocolate biscuits.

Shelf life: two years

Expiration date: March 3, 2980.

Because he doesn't know what time the world is in, so he has no way of judging whether it has expired.

He didn't dare to eat these two bags of chocolate biscuits. Once he ate his stomach, it would be very dangerous in such an environment, and with the existence of discount stores, he should not be short of food in a short time.

Su Changxing was about to sell these two bags of "souvenir products" in exchange for points on the forum, and then posted a post.

Lucky kid: Receive two bags of chocolate biscuits, 50 points per bag, first come first served.

【picture】

During this period of time, everyone's food is in short supply, and basically no one sells food, let alone exchange food for points that are temporarily useless.

As soon as the post was sent out, it received a lot of replies. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Xingchenhai: The boss is awesome, there are already a lot of food for sale, but unfortunately I only have 20 points so far.

Do nothing: please exchange, I just have 100 points.

Clever: Where did you get so many points, I only have 10 points so far.

24k Big Sweet Potato: Friendly reminder, kill a zombie, 10 points.

······

Su Changxing directly traded with Li Wuwei, exchanging two bags of chocolate biscuits for 100 points.

Do nothing to thank Su Changxing for his generosity, enthusiasm, and kindness, as if he took advantage of the sky, which made Su Changxing feel a little embarrassed, because he knew that he was the one who really took advantage.

Su Changxing hesitated for a moment before reminding: These two bags of biscuits are very likely to be expired for a long time, so it is very likely that eating them will spoil your stomach, friends, be careful.

Doing nothing: Thank you for your reminder, but until now, I haven’t eaten anything. Diarrhea is better than starving to death.

After Su Changxing finished searching, he was about to leave here. Although Gou would be safer here for a short time, it was definitely not a long-term solution.

Since he didn't have a backpack, Su Changxing simply drank the last bit of water in the bottle in one gulp. He felt his stomach swell slightly, and he felt like he couldn't eat and walked around.

Holding the steel knife and walking towards the corridor, he was going to clean up layer by layer, which was more stable, as long as there were no more than two zombies at the same time, there would be no big problem.

As he gradually approached the next floor, Su Changxing could already hear the roars of the zombies unconsciously. The low and hoarse voice seemed to be filled with great pain.

As expected, there are still zombies on this floor.
