Chapter 5 - predicament

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the thin clouds and illuminates this once bustling big city inch by inch from the horizon.

But the city is no longer the same as before, without the orderly traffic, the flow of people who got up early and rushed to school and work, and the fragrant vendors selling various breakfasts.

Yes, there are only vehicles that overturned on the road and almost completely filled the road, zombies chasing the survivors with open arms roaring, survivors trying to escape from this purgatory like headless chickens, and still burning houses, the loud noise of exploding vehicles, the sound of gunfire, and the sound of the accelerator pedal of a high-powered car.

Wei Xuan, who had rested all night, rubbed his swollen and sore temples. At this moment, his injured shoulder no longer had the severe tearing pain of yesterday, and there was even a faint itching feeling on the edge—the wound was being heal.

This was the second day after he was injured, and his wound was already healing! You must know that when he checked his wound yesterday evening, he was able to confirm that a piece of flesh was torn off his shoulder abruptly, and there were still horrible and hideous tooth marks on it!

—————

Sitting up, looking towards the direction where the dense smoke and dust was rising and the sound of the explosion could be faintly heard, Wei Xuandi sighed in his heart—that direction should have encountered a situation similar to the second floor of his own house, and it should be someone with natural gas or something. Or people who ran away in a panic accidentally ignited it.

But there was no good luck there – although the downstairs of my house was also ignited, it seemed that the fire resistance of the ignited pipeline was better. After burning out, the fire did not continue to spread to the surroundings after the building was completely burned down.

But at this time, the burning house was very unlucky because there were too many sundries in the aisle, which led to one family after another, one building after another, and the gas pipeline exploded, burning down the entire block nearby. After there was nothing to burn, the fire gradually stopped.

Seemingly realizing that Wei Xuan had gotten up, Du Hang, who had been sitting silently by the side, turned his head and “looked” in his direction with two straight eyes.

Wei Xuan also turned his head and smiled at him: “Du Hang, good morning.” At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he was holding something in the side hand with the injured shoulder, and looked down—it was actually Du Hang’s hand. ?

Could it be that she subconsciously grabbed him after going to bed last night? Just like yesterday afternoon when I was injured and passed out?

However, Du Hang didn’t respond at this time, and he couldn’t explain why the two people held hands together. Wei Xuan looked at the hands held together by the two, and felt warm in his heart but also felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Du Hang, who had lost his human consciousness, would occasionally show some overly intimate gestures when he was alone with him . Just like yesterday evening when he would suddenly come over to smell his body, just like now when he opened his eyes, he found that he had actually held my hand all night.

This kind of inadvertent little action can make people’s heart flutter almost every time, but because he is a zombie, lost all his memories, and the two of them have to survive in the last days, etc. A little bit disappointed—but think about it carefully, if it was placed before the end of the world, if the world hadn’t become what it is now, it might be impossible for him and Du Hang to meet each other in their future lives, let alone this kind of situation in normal social interactions. This is an opportunity for a rather ambiguous action.

Wei Xuan raised his head and smiled at Du Hang, looked seriously at his face, confirmed that the wounds treated for him last night had basically healed, then sat up, raised his free right hand, and followed his Fairly neat hair: “We will live together in the future… Even if you can never restore human memory, even if we will always be like this…” In fact, there can be someone to live with and keep going, whether it is before the end of the world or After the end of the world is a very happy thing. Even if he is accompanied by a zombie, Wei Xuan still feels that such a life is a kind of happiness.

He will not back himself up, and he will never betray him. The relationship between the two is extraordinarily pure because there is no pressure beyond survival, no complicated thinking and social pressure.

Even if Du Hang will never understand Wei Xuan’s complicated feelings for him, it is impossible to respond to him. But as long as Du Hang will be by his side as he is now, as in his previous life, Wei Xuan will be very satisfied.

After tidying up a bit, he entered the bathroom, turned on the water pipe to confirm that there was no problem with the tap water in the city, Wei Xuan simply washed up, and prepared his breakfast in the morning. Only then did Shi Shiran sit at the intact dining table, eat and drink enough, and opened the little notebook he had sorted out last night.

This is the plan manual he wrote down last night when he rested and recuperated before going to bed, combined with the still-usable mobile phone map and some memories of his previous life.

Du Hangyi seemed to be some kind of clingy large canine animal. He followed Wei Xuan to the kitchen, and then followed him all the way back to the table. No one could hear him, so he just followed Wei Xuan about two steps behind him.

This person was the only human being that Du Hang felt familiar to him after he “woke up”, so that he would not want to hurt him. This familiarity made him not want to leave at all.

He lost his memory and most of his judgment and thinking ability, but Du Hang’s instinct made the most basic judgment: If you don’t want to leave, then don’t leave, and keep this familiarity by your side. It seemed that as long as he kept him by his side all the time, he would be able to get what was most desired in his heart and find some important things that had been lost.

City T is a relatively large and prosperous city. With the rapid development of commercial and cultural construction, the resident population of the entire city has also become very scary.

After the end of the world, the things left in this city are the necessities of life that the survivors who managed to escape from the city yearn for and hope to get as much as possible, but the city itself But it has become a purgatory on earth that people fear.

After the end of the world, many survivors have aroused different abilities due to various reasons, and most of the people who have not mutated into zombies have already known how to eliminate zombies—headshots.

But even with this information, the zombies are not so easy to kill!

Humans know how to hunt and kill zombies – this is not difficult to say, but the difficulty is – human physical strength is limited! Even people who have worked hard for many years in the apocalypse and have improved a lot in terms of physical strength and quality, still cannot continue to fight for too long when they can only use cold weapons to fight hand-to-hand.

Besides, for those with abilities, abilities are a good thing, especially the various offensive abilities. If you use them seriously and efficiently, you can definitely hit and knock down zombies. However, please note that most of the time it is just “hitting”. If you want to accurately control your ability to hit the head of a zombie that is moving around all the time, you also need to hit the head with one blow? At least in the early days of the end of the world, very few supernatural beings could possess such heaven-defying operating skills.

In the later stage, after the supernatural beings became familiar with their supernatural powers, they could manipulate and attack more precisely, but the problem was—at that time, the movements of the zombies would also become more flexible, faster, and more powerful! After encountering human beings, these zombies will also change their previous attack methods that only go forward in a daze! Some are even as cunning as good hunters, no matter how experienced they are, they are likely to fall into their traps!

After the ability users are proficient, they will reduce unnecessary waste when they use their own abilities due to experience, proficiency and other reasons. But zombies will also increase their mobility, combat experience and so on. While humans are increasing their combat capabilities, zombies are also increasing their hunting experience, and there has been almost equal progress between the two.

The last is hot weapons. Using hot weapons to deal with zombies is much more effective than using cold weapons to deal with zombies. But using these things to deal with zombies also has accuracy problems. Furthermore, due to the advent of the end of the world, many previously usable devices cannot be repaired once they are damaged. Many mining areas that could be mined before the end of the world simply turned into a world of zombie animals and mutated plants.

So only at the beginning of the end of the world, those bases that have successfully rescued a large amount of thermal armed materials still have a large number of guns and ammunition to support them to conquer the world, but once these thermal weapons are exhausted, these Temporarily non-renewable things began to fade out of the sight of ordinary people.

In this apocalyptic world, Wei Xuan has never heard of any upgrades in abilities or upgrades in zombies. Although there is indeed a crystal nucleus in the zombie’s head, the function of that thing can only be used to replenish mental power and increase the ability to continue fighting for those who have exhausted their abilities and spiritual power. However, the base will also develop more in-depth usage methods in the later stage-using the crystal nucleus as a new type of energy to develop and replace the previous oil and electricity.

Therefore, in general, the situation faced by human beings after the end of the world is very embarrassing, so embarrassing that most of the bases have to abandon the recycling plan for the city, and instead focus on those villages, towns, and county-level places. Gather supplies and sow crops.

After the survivors stabilized the situation in the base, they discovered something that made them vomit blood again—even if they wanted to use some method to lure the zombies entrenched in major cities, and took the opportunity to enter the urban area to collect some important materials, but these The zombies seem to fall in love with their original homeland. Although some of them will chase out, soon, these chased zombies will stumble when they find that they have lost their target and cannot catch up with their prey for a long time Swing back to their former homeland.

On the contrary, if human beings want to completely abandon the city and enter the deep mountains and old forests to develop, they will face zombie animals and mutated animals and plants. Not only are their threats no weaker than zombies, but they have all sorts of weirder and unpredictable means that can subvert the entire base.

Therefore, human bases in the last days can only be built around smaller towns, and they should be as far away as possible from places with better natural environments before the last days—although in the last days, due to plant variation, those forests with good natural environments, The plants in the mountains are also withered and mutated in large areas, but once some aggressive plants appear, their lethality is much more terrifying than zombies…
