GODFATHER

CHAPTER 101 - UAV

In the blink of an eye, a large group of more than a hundred Zombie were brought out by Zhou Lingwu. This fellow walked a few steps towards us while knocking the stainless steel basin, and then threw the basin towards us.

In fact, even without his order, those Zombie were already attracted by the deafening gunfire. When they saw us once we left the house, it was as if they were kidnapped children seeing their mothers, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced on us. But before the Zombie came into contact with Zhou Lingwu, as if he was a stone pillar, they all automatically went left and right, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Lingwu disappeared within the pile of Zombie.

I cursed under my breath. This guy was like someone carrying a queen in a movie < Alien >. Not only did he spread the virus, he didn't attract Zombie to bite him!

Fuck you! San Mao roared out, probably because he was anxious in his heart, the spear in his hands started to scatter once again, hitting the ground consecutively with only a few shots, stirring up a patch of dirt and wild grass.

What are you panicking for! MaggieQ cursed harshly and shot twice in succession, hitting the two Zombie in front of him.

Hearing the curse, San Mao swallowed his saliva with much difficulty and took a few deep breaths. He barely managed to calm his mind and the spear in his hand started to clatter once again.

You three! Find a way to get the car out! MaggieQ turned and shouted at us.

It was like we had just woken up from a dream, the only thing we could do now was to drive the car out of the quagmire, otherwise, even if MaggieQ and San Mao's marksmanship was even more accurate, the remaining bullets wouldn't be able to completely exterminate the hundred over Zombie. If the bullets are gone, we have just witnessed the running ability of Zombie. Ordinary people like us are not enough to deal with them.

I looked back at the group of Zombie behind us. Fortunately, they weren't as fast as before, and most of them were limping and limping, which is about the speed of an ordinary person's walking speed. Right now, we are still about a hundred meters away from the mud field, so we should walk for at least two to three minutes.

Quick! Find a rock cushion! " I shouted to the Taoist and Mao Tou. The two of them nodded and lowered their heads to look for the stone.

I squatted down to check and found that the right rear wheel of the truck had sunk into a pit, causing the left rear wheel to rise slightly into the air and lose its grip.

I was squatting on the ground and looking around, trying to find something to cushion my left and right wheels, when I heard San Mao shout from behind me: Yuan, be careful!

I turned my head, just in time to see a Zombie go around the back of the car, and pounce like me! The Zombie's nose was probably shot, and the place that should have stuck out turned into a hole, with its upper lip split in half, its red mouth and white teeth hanging loose and loose. Even so, it opened and closed its jaw, making it feel nauseous and wanting to bite.

I was lying prone on the ground, and I was so scared that I nearly passed out. I shouted, Mother! and rolled into the bottom of the car. However, the Zombie soon fell to the ground and stuck its head into the hole. It stared at me and the white bones and red and black flesh were mixed together. Broken tissue and black mucus were flowing out from the hole!

I can't bear to see such disgusting things in my life. Even horror movies only stop at 'Chat' that my parents took to the cinema when I was a kid and I even had a fever after coming back! When had he ever seen such a crazy thing? He felt goosebumps all over his body explode. The bladder sphincter loosened and he almost wet his pants.

Ahhh … I screamed and crawled forward, ignoring everything else. Just as I stuck my head out from under the other car, I felt my right ankle tighten as a hand grabbed me and pulled me backwards!

I was so scared that I completely lost my mind. My other leg was kicking backwards crazily, my hands waving wildly in an attempt to grab onto something that would allow me to borrow some strength. But the more I struggled, the tighter I felt my ankle being grabbed, and the stronger the pulling force was.

Right at this moment, a small hand suddenly reached out to me, I raised my head, and saw that it was Mao Tou, I immediately grabbed hold of him. Mao Tou was small in size, but the strength of his hands were quite strong, after pulling for a bit, he pulled me out from under the carriage, and then along with the Zombie that was grabbing my ankle, he dragged me out!

I turned my head to see that not only was the Zombie grabbing my ankle, it was also biting at my calf, but the fellow's upper jaw was shattered. The moment he used a bit of strength, his upper jaw was pushed up, causing it to lose the power to bite me, and it couldn't bite my leg at all.

Even so, I was scared out of my wits. I screamed and swung my legs crazily, trying to shake it off. However, the Zombie was grabbing so tightly, that it could not be shaken off even in a moment of desperation.

Brother Yuan, don't move! I heard Mao Tou shout, and when I looked over, he was holding the Great Sword with both hands and swinging it around in front of my legs.

Mao Tou faced the broken head for a long time before fiercely thrusting his sword downwards. Duang, the tip of the blade stabbed into the Zombie's temple, causing it to fall off my leg, but it only pierced into my skull. It probably didn't hurt my brain, but the Zombie's hand still tightly grabbed onto my ankle. A groan came up to my leg!

Hey! Mao Tou shouted, with one hand, he used the Great Sword to stabilize. With the other hand, he chopped down heavily on the sword hilt, causing the sword tip to sink in, half piercing into the head. The Zombie was like a toy that was turned off, it instantly stopped moving.

I quickly withdrew my foot and pulled up my pants legs like I was crazy to check. Luckily, my MAMMUT dry pants were quite thick and didn't have a single piece of oil on my leg.

I finally let go of my hanging breath and collapsed to the ground, only to find that my entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

Come, come, come. I've found the stone! I hadn't even lain down for half a minute when I heard the Taoist shout.

I looked up and saw the Taoist holding a large stone in his hand. He was covered in mud and was running towards us. It seemed like he had just dug it up from the ground.

I was overjoyed and immediately stood up to receive the stone from the Taoist. I don't want to stay in this place for even a second longer, so I quickly put the stones on top of it and got the car out of the car. I don't care if Zhou Lingwu is still a Zombie, if this world is destroyed, I won't be the one to suffer, I'm not a Justice Envoy, I'm not the Avenger Alliance, I haven't been bitten by a spider, I haven't injected my super serum, I have no ability, and I have no responsibility!

I quickly placed the stone under the wheel and used my foot to chop it tightly. I tested the wheel and found that it was firmly stuck, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just as he was about to call San Mao and MaggieQ to leave, he saw San Mao running towards him while panting heavily.

When I looked, it turned out that the group of Zombie had already approached him at some point in time, and the frontmost Zombie was already just inches away from San Mao's back. However, it was too late to get on the car. Just now, I was scared by that lousy Zombie and had already become a frightened bird. I didn't care about anything else as I turned around and ran.

Wait for me! Hey! Help... Ahh! Before I ran a few steps, I heard Mao Tou's desperate shout from behind me.

I turned my head to look, only to see that Mao Tou had been forced to the front of the truck by an Zombie, Mao Tou was tightly leaning on the wheel, the Zombie had just reached the height of a wheel, but the Zombie was actually very tall, probably more than 1.8 meters. The Zombie's movements were stiff, but its two hands were patting the hood of the truck, yet it could not bend down to bite him.

Hey! Heh! I clapped and shouted at the Zombie, and when it noticed me, it looked at me, then at Mao Tou, and finally let out a howl and pounced towards me. Mao Tou couldn't run, he was an expert at climbing. With the empty air, he climbed onto the hood and grabbed the rearview mirror before getting into the car again.

I don't care about Mao Tou anymore. I just want to escape for my life like a headless fly.

Don't get separated! MaggieQ shouted at us, Run to the gate!

The rest of us were running in the mud. I hadn't had a chance to catch a glimpse of them in the past two days.

I only felt that my feet were getting heavier and heavier, my chest was getting more and more stuffy, my mind was already blank, my vision was turning black, and the howls of the Zombie behind me were getting clearer and clearer.

At that moment, the sound of a car engine rang out. I turned around and saw that the military card in the mud had suddenly started moving.

Hahaha! San Mao laughed crazily and shouted, Mao Tou has yours!

I looked carefully and saw that there was no one in the driver's seat of the military truck. Then, I realized that it must be Mao Tou driving the car, because he was so small that when he stepped on the throttle of the car, the windscreen could no longer be seen.

The truck wobbled and almost died on several occasions, but it came straight at us and knocked over a group of Zombie. We cheered loudly, but the military card passed us without pause and drove straight through.

F * ck! San Mao screamed: Brake! Brake!"

After passing us by more than twenty meters, the military card suddenly stopped, turned off the ignition, and stopped.

As we cheered, San Mao ran in front, opened the car door and entered the driver's seat, but MaggieQ still flipped into the car, with the Taoist and I at the back, I gritted my teeth and charged forward, my eyes only a dozen meters away.

Suddenly there was a droning sound like an electric fan, and I saw MaggieQ's face change in the car as he waved at us both, shouting, Hurry! Faster!

I was wondering what was going on when there was another sharp whistling sound, followed by a violent explosion. It was as if someone had hammered me in the back with a sledgehammer. I flew up like a cloud and landed heavily on the ground in front of the truck.

CHAPTER 102 - TRAIN

Sometimes it was as if Zhou Lingwu's brother, Zhou Jingwen, had half a neck broken, and sometimes it was as if he was stuck in the throat of a Zombie with a big hole in his nose. It was as if I was pressed down to the bottom of the ocean, or as if I was floating in the helpless clouds. I kept feeling that someone was moving my body, and there was a voice calling out to me from far away, but I just didn't want to open my eyes, just like a fetus returning to its mother's womb. I just wanted to slowly sink down, and gradually, I couldn't hear anything.

After an unknown amount of time, the fragments of my soul finally reassembled. I gradually began to feel the pain coming from my back, slowly spreading and gradually sharpening, rapidly becoming unbearable pain, Ah … I couldn't help but moan out.

You're awake? I heard a soft female voice and opened my eyes to see MaggieQ looking down at me, her eyes watery and indifferent.

I struggled for a moment, looked around and found myself lying in the backseat of San Mao's Prado, with my head resting on MaggieQ's leg. In front of me, San Mao was driving, and the Daoist was sitting in the front passenger seat. Hearing MaggieQ's voice, both of them turned their heads around, and San Mao only glanced at him, then laughed mischievously and continued to drive, muttering to himself, I knew this kid was lucky, and wouldn't die!

I wanted to speak, but I felt an itch at the back of my throat. I couldn't help but cough a few times.

Ah! He vomited blood! I heard Mao Tou's frightened cry, and when I looked over to see who it was, I saw Mao Tou stretching his head over from the trunk and looking at me with concern as he laid on our seats.

It's fine. It's just that my lungs and trachea are shaken, so I'll be fine if I spit out the blood. MaggieQ said, patting my back.

I took a few deep breaths, and sure enough, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the dull feeling in my chest as though I had been pressed down by a rock lessened by quite a bit.

It was then that I went over everything that had happened at the base like a movie replay. Remembering the violent explosion, I struggled to sit up, despite the softness of MaggieQ's thighs, and asked, Why is there an explosion?

It's a drone! MaggieQ let me sit up.

The higher-ups probably know that something happened at the base and sent a drone to scout us. They just happened to see a bunch of Zombie chasing us and released missiles to help us out. The abbot turned his head.

I looked up at the Taoist and saw that the old boy was only a few steps ahead of me, clean and unscathed.

The Taoist seemed to be able to see my doubt, he smiled and scratched his head, saying, You just happened to be behind me and blocked my shockwave. I just fell down.

It felt like he was using me as a meat shield, so I cursed under my breath. Then, I remembered Zhou Lingwu who was hidden within the group of Zombie and asked: Where's Zhou Lingwu? Did you find it?

The Taoist's face darkened as he shook his head.

I faintly sighed as I thought to myself that I couldn't avoid what should happen in the end. I turned my face away from the window. It was dark now, there was neither moon nor starlight, and the car was moving along the dark mountain road. There was only light in front of the car, and the rest of it was endless darkness.

Where are we going now? I asked softly.

I just read on Weibo that the town on the other side of the base has already been sealed. Since we went over the mountains, our Xu Qiu has not affected us for the time being, but we're afraid that things might get out of hand and the sooner we go back, the better. Furthermore, we have to go back and prepare. "

I nodded, my chest started to feel depressed again, thinking that once I go back, I still don't know what the world will look like. If the Solam Virus was spread by Zhou Lingwu, then according to MaggieQ, there would be a one-fifth chance that the infection rate would increase, which means that wherever Saurun went, one of the five people would become a Zombie overnight. After 24 hours, another fifth of the people who came into contact with the patient would become a Zombie.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. The Taoist looked at me and sighed. I'm afraid it's the end of the world …

At this time, a group of lights rose up in front of them. They had arrived at Xu Qiu County. Returning to this run-down, cramped little city, I had a sense of rebirth, a warm sense of security with the dim streetlights and the occasional grimace of people passing by. People are social creatures, and no matter how isolated and isolated I am, after a war with another species, seeing my own kind, seeing the splendid civilization that our species has created, will still make me feel close.

The car led us into the street that was shining with pink neon lights, and stopped in front of the Maple Night Resort. After experiencing this series of adventures, Mao Tou finally believed that we weren't here to steal tombs. San Mao pressed on the button and the trunk opened up. Dao leader San Mao and I got off the car.

Mao Tou packed his stuff and jumped down from the trunk. Looking at the flashing Maple Night sign, he looked at us again, a look of helplessness and reluctance flashed past his eyes. After we told him about our treasures, he turned around and walked towards the hotel. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said, San Ye, Dao Lord, Brother Yuan … Don't look down on me, we did this because we had no other choice. This place … He's really too poor …

I watched as his lonely yet weak back gradually got swallowed by darkness. Suddenly, my heart moved as he shouted, Mao Tou!

Mao Tou suddenly turned and looked at me, his eyes flashing with light.

Where's the nearest ATM? I asked.

Mao Tou was startled, he then pointed to a direction and said: The entire Xu Qiu is owned by a rural credit union, at the county government's side, there is a ATM.

We don't know the way, I said.

Mao Tou didn't hesitate at all and immediately ran back. San Mao and the Taoist really thought that I would take out the money, the four of us got on the car and under Mao Tou's guidance, we arrived at the entrance of the credit union. I got out of the car, took my bank card out of my bag, walked over to the ATM, and stuffed it into the machine.

This is an old-fashioned ATM machine, with a limit of 2,000 yuan per unit, and a maximum of 20 thousand yuan per day. I took 2000 all at once, ten times, and returned to the car with a large wad of cash in my hand.

Why did you take out so much money? Do you want to go to the Big Health Care? San Mao asked curiously.

I ignored him and handed the money over to Mao Tou. This world is going to change soon, take this money and buy more things.

This … Mao Tou was stunned, he did not accept and after staring blankly for a while, he said: How can I accept this …

I pressed the money into his hand and said, It won't work in a few days anyway.

Mao Tou received the money in a daze, and only managed to utter two words after a long while: Thank you.

I waved my hand to indicate that there was no need. San Mao and the rest did not say anything, the car once again brought us to the Maple Night, this time we did not get off the car, we only waved at Mao Tou and we started on our journey again.

Time to go home! San Mao shouted as they walked out of the red light district.

MaggieQ, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, Take me to the train station first!

Ah? Where are you going? " Startled, I blurted out.

MaggieQ gave me a look as if it had nothing to do with you. I thought that after being together with her for such a long time and having me support her for such a long time, she must have gotten familiar with me. I didn't expect her to be so cold and distant from me, so I could only shut my mouth in embarrassment.

San Mao checked the navigation system on the carriage, but the train station of Xu Qiu was not in the city, but in a small town called the Ten Li Pavilion which was more than ten kilometers away from the city. Fortunately, the town was right on the fast track we were about to enter. We followed the navigation, arriving in less than twenty minutes.

The county city of Xu Qiu was so dilapidated, and this small town was even more unbearable. Although it was not even 10 o'clock at night, the entire town was already pitch-black and the only light came from the train station.

The ticket office and the waiting room were all together. On the top of the door hung the words Xu Qiu Station, and three of the words Hu were probably written in large characters. The interior light was broken, so it couldn't get any light; looking at it in the middle of the night, it became Xu Qiu Station.

We walked MaggieQ to the door of the station. Without saying goodbye, she got out of the car, slammed the door, and walked toward Xu Qiu.

Now it's only the three of us left. The three of us looked at each other and shrugged. San Mao turned around and put the car in gear, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the road.

A red leather train was just coming out of the station and moving alongside our car. I saw the nameplate on the body of the train that read K318 Guiyang - Shanghai. I watched the cars slide by in front of my eyes … The sleeper cars with their lights out were packed with hard seats and brightly lit dining cars. I saw Zhou Lingwu walk in from the other side of the dining car and talk with the attendant for a while. He took out a stack of money from his pocket and passed it to the attendant, and then sat down at a table near the window. He rested his elbows on the table covered with white lace and held his cheeks, staring blankly out the window at the endless night.

CHAPTER 103 - THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE

Our generation of Chinese is probably the one who thinks he has the hardest time. When we were young, the country's material life was not very rich. We ate and dressed just like our predecessors. We also dressed in open pants and played with the mud on the ground. But in primary school we had to go through a five-year system; in middle school we had to go through a reform of the textbooks; in high school we had to face a reform of the university entrance examinations, which became 3 + X. When we finally got to the university, we were accepted by the university, the salary of university students plummeted and the country was no longer allocated jobs; when we finally found a job, the wages of migrant workers were higher than those of university students; when we finally found a job, the purest of love became a physical contest; when we wanted to build a family, we looked around blankly, but found that we needed three grandfathers' savings and a lifetime of debt; when we finally became strong, parents and leaders in society, our parents became old and we suddenly found ourselves burdened.

However, from our generation onwards, no one has ever been hungry again. Although I grew up in the countryside as a child, I had never worked in the fields. I could not lift my hand on my shoulder, and I wished that I could not even distinguish between the leek and the malt. We drink tap water, burn gas, turn on air conditioning, cool with heating, go out with planes, high-speed trains, highways, as long as the mouse moves, thousands of miles away goods will be delivered to our door the next day...

We have lost the natural instinct for survival of our fathers, and we know little about nature and the wilderness. Every day we sit in our cubicles and plot against each other. Almost every one of us had a beer belly and a life buoy in our waists. Some people are willing to pick their throat to make themselves vomit in order to eat more food...

It had been more than a week since we had returned to the money, and if we had known what had happened, we would have run out of the city as soon as possible and found some remote village to stay in.

No one had expected the situation to worsen so quickly. Just like a beacon of smoke, along the route of the K318 train, a series of Zombie news appeared. At the beginning, it was only sporadic news, spread through social media like Weibo and WeChat. Although it spread very quickly, most people only talked about it as if it was a special topic. After listening to it, they would go to school and still go to work.

Below the extremely shocking videos, most of the comments were like this:

This is the latest season of 'Walking Dead'?

Zombie, hurry up. There are still twenty more years to go.

Is the human meat delicious?

This society is too dark, they actually eat humans.

Please be a professional makeup artist, it's too fake!

This Zombie is a little handsome …

The Zombie is here, everyone hurry up and snatch the salt!

What's the use of drinking indigowoad root?

What kind of movie is this?

…

Until today, when the authorities suddenly released a military blockade against several cities, including Shanghai!

On X th, the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China convened to put forward the overall requirements for the fight against the Solam Virus: calm response, decisive measures, reliance on science, effective prevention and control, strengthening cooperation and improving mechanisms; and put forward a scientific strategy for cutting off the transmission of the Solam Virus: early detection, early reporting, early isolation, early treatment. At the same time, establish a fund for the prevention and control of Solam Virus for a total of 2 billion yuan, set up a national command for the prevention and control of Solam Virus, and specially deploy rural SARS prevention and control work …"

On the television, the middle-aged woman who looked as if she hadn't had sex for many years was still using her controlled, throbbing tone to broadcast the news. San Mao, the Daoist Priest, and I were busy packing up our things at the side.

For the past week we have been preparing for the end of the Zombie, but everything is important, everything has to be prepared, and yet nothing seems to be important, not necessarily.

Fortunately, none of us had a family. Naturally, I didn't have to say it. I left my hometown at a very young age. After the death of my parents, I lost contact with my relatives in my hometown. There were no brothers or sisters, just a single person.

The Taoist was a northerner, and he had never mentioned his family before. Every time we asked him about it, he would let out a long sigh and shake his head in silence. It was not until one time, when we were drunk, that our hearts broke down and we broke out in tears and told the truth. So when Li Quan Dao was in university, he had a lover called Ge Lili. The two of them loved each other so much that life and death could not be helped. In the end, the Daoist gritted his teeth and stomped his feet as he followed Ge Lili to the money tide. At that time, the Taoist had already arranged for him to work as a local civil servant at his home, so for this matter, the Taoist was so angry that he almost had a stroke, he slapped his thigh and scolded the Taoist, telling him not to enter this house in the future, and that he would treat this son of his as his own!

Originally, this was the story of an ordinary child escaping from his parents. Most people would be extremely happy if they left such a thing for a year or so, and their anger would also dissipate. But the bad part was that the Taoist thought it was too simple, not even a year had passed since he followed his girlfriend to the money tide, and Ge Lili already kicked him off, running away from someone who worked in foreign trade!

Originally, this was nothing. Who had not lost their love before? The night before the national real estate boom, he had noticed it, and said that the price of the money tide would definitely rise, but of course, he did not dare or even want to ask his family for money, so he borrowed all his friends and classmates, gathered over a hundred thousand, and paid the down payment to buy a small house near the famous Western Lake Scenic Spot. At that time, it was only a little over two thousand, and in less than a year, the price of this house had increased by two or three times.

Originally, this was nothing, but now that the house had risen, it wasn't like they were earning money? But the bad part was that at that time, the Taoist priest and Ge Lili were in love with each other, and as soon as his brain got hot, he wrote Ge Lili's name on the certificate! Ge Lili's heart was also ruthless. She refused to return the house to the Taoist and said that after following him for three years, his youth loss was also worth a house. Naturally, this Taoist wouldn't agree. This is what you're doing. If you want to lose youth, you have to pay me, no? Besides, I'm still in debt. It's already good enough that I don't want to cause trouble for you while you're behind me. How can I just give you a house for free?

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the two lovers became enemies for a house. The two talked back and forth for a few months, until Ge Lili finally got tired of it and negotiated with the Taoist about returning the house to the Taoist, but she followed the Taoist for three years, which was 100,000 yuan per year. Originally, a house was just right for her. However, since the Taoist was unwilling, she would go for it year after year and return it to the house after she had hacked it three times!

The Daoist felt his heart drop to the floor, so he ran into the kitchen to grab a fruit knife and stuffed it into Lili's hands, before opening his chest wide and pointing at his chest, saying, Slash! Ge Lili was also ruthless, she really pierced the Taoist's chest three times, one of the knife pierced through her lung.

The Daoist stayed in the hospital for more than half a month. After he came out, he sold his house and paid off his debts. From then on, he never contacted his family, even his friends back home.

After the wine was drunk that day, I advised the Taoist to say that it had already been so many years. Perhaps your father has already forgiven you.

I'm too ashamed to go back … The Taoist let out a long sigh.

This time, after returning from the Xu Qiu, I advised him again. Even if he didn't go back, he would call the old couple and ask them to make some preparations.

The Taoist took out his phone and stared blankly for a long time before dialing his number and deleting it again. He sighed and said, Forget it, life and death are intertwined. It's probably better if I don't know …

San Mao's parents just so happened to be out on a vacation. The old couple had been worrying so much for San Mao these past few years, but they had seen everything lately. The house couldn't be moved anymore, they just needed to wait for the old man to stop moving, sell their house, and make a down payment to San Mao. Then the old couple would go to the nursing home to wait for their deaths. A few days ago, the community organized a cruise for the elderly, while Hong Kong's Macao, New Mattel, circled around the city for 15 days, with just one person for more than 10,000 days. The two elders had never been out of the country in their entire lives, so they were moved and eagerly went to make a passport. They had been on the road since the day we went to Xu Qiu, and it was unknown which high seas they were floating on.

These few days, San Mao was extremely anxious, but it was inconvenient for the ship to communicate while it was at sea. He was completely unable to contact it.

It's fine. Who knows, maybe my uncle and aunt will be able to escape this calamity. Daoist Priest and I are both consoling San Mao like this.

Didn't they say that Southeast Asia is the origin of the virus? San Mao asked with a bitter face.

Haven't you heard that? The most dangerous place is the safest place!

CHAPTER 104 - OUT OF CONTROL

The edifice of civilization that mankind had painstakingly built for generations collapsed overnight. The false prosperity brought by the development of science and technology and the abundance of materials disappeared in a flash like a punctured soap bubble. The relationship between people immediately removed its hypocritical veil of warmth and returned to its original appearance. It was that each person was a potential competitor, fighting each other over limited resources! The society rapidly faded into a gloomy jungle, overgrown with weeds, in which tigers and wolves were lurking, while evil people held sharp blades in their hands, waiting for an opportunity to make their move.

Please do not panic. Do your best to stay at home and not go out. Do not listen to rumors. Believe in the Party and the government. We are determined and able to overcome this epidemic.

The middle-aged woman on the television was still chattering. Every television station and radio station had been repeatedly reporting this announcement these days. There were no new news. The network had been cut off a week ago, supposedly to prevent the spread of rumors, but the lack of information was precisely the most fertile ground for rumors, and all sorts of interesting legends spread faster than viruses, such as the forerunners of Sauron, such as the water from a dike, over the beach and across the Divine State. Although there were still no corpses dying in the Qianchao City, they were like candles in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

The officials had finally acknowledged the existence of the Zombie, but the damage and harm done to it was nothing. They only said that they would become delirious after getting the virus and would tend to attack it, but did not mention a word about the virus that would spread through their bite. But it was precisely this kind of secretive attitude that increased the public's panic. The disturbance spread like wildfire, and the money tide authorities had to enforce the city martial law, which also prevented the three of us from escaping the city in time.

The three of us had been hoarding goods ever since we returned to the first day of the wave of money, but after just a few days, there was a lack of supply on the market. The K318 train was like an arc drawn from west to east on the north of Qianchao City, and because of the outbreak earlier, the authorities had quickly sealed off the traffic between the north and south, causing the traffic north of Qianchao City to be almost completely cut off.

And this curved belt just so happened to cover the long triangle's most fertile alluvial plain, which caused the large amount of food, vegetables, fruits and other fresh goods that the Qianchao City relied on to be unable to be transported into the city in time. The originally limited and sustainable shortage was now magnified by the panic in the masses. Because they were afraid that they couldn't buy it, they went all out to buy it; the Qianchao City's major supermarkets, agriculture and side markets, were all sold out in less than three days. The authorities had no choice but to temporarily open up the granary and implement a rationing system.

By this time, less than two weeks after we had returned to the money boom, the social order of the money boom had completely collapsed. There were no open shops in the streets, and soldiers armed with weapons were everywhere maintaining order.

During the first week, we bought a lot of supplies. Most of the advice came from a Taoist who had had an apocalyptic experience.

This included a few major categories, the first was of course food. Considering that there would definitely be a power outage in times of crisis, most of the food we bought was non-cooking food, the most of which was auto-heated boxes of rice, more than two thousand boxes, enough for the three of us to eat for a year. There were also a large number of canned food, chocolate, compressed biscuits, instant noodles, pickles, and so on.

The second was medicine, which was relatively simple because the three of us were still healthy and didn't have any chronic illnesses or special drugs to purchase, and the broad spectrum of antibiotics was the largest proportion, which was now a prescription drug, a state control drug, so that the three of us went to different hospitals every day to look for a doctor, and barely managed to gather more than a hundred boxes in a week. As for the rest of us, we were given a variety of commonly used antifungal ointments, painkillers, antipyretics, antidiarrheal drugs, aspirin, iodine, alcohol, medical tape, gauze, bandages, and so on. At the insistence of the head, we added an additional set of surgical instruments, including scalpels, vascular forceps, forceps, needle holders, and stitches for stitching wounds. We bought absorbable and non-absorbable ones.

The third category is daily products, the most bought is toothpaste and dental floss, which is my idea, because I have experienced the kind of pulpitis that makes you worry forever, you can't expect dentists to help you at the end of the world, so it's important to keep your mouth healthy. The rest of the items were similar to soap and toilet paper. We didn't prepare much, and in the Daoist's words, Dirty days are coming, it's best to get used to them from now on. There were also a limited number of clothes, all of which were sturdy and durable top outdoor items that had been bought at a high price, including the Gargamel's down jacket that was said to be able to withstand the extreme cold.

The fourth category is weapons, this type is the hardest to buy, but right now we have a Type 95 assault rifle that San Mao brought back from the military base, the Type 95 military blade that I have, San Mao's baton and my Bell survival blade. In this country with extremely strict control over blades and spears, our military power is no weaker than any civilians, so we only have three of our most powerful Swiss army blades and a fire axe.

The fifth was fuel. We filled twenty thirty-liter barrels, plus a box of lighter oil, two big boxes of candles, ten Zippo lighters, a box of flint and cotton, more than twenty portable fire sticks, and three full boxes of batteries.

The sixth category consisted of utensils, a complete set of portable camping utensils, including kettle, lunch box, simple pot, etc.; a number of flashlights; two old-fashioned German radios; two large bundles of climbing ropes; three compass; three atlases from the national atlas; three sets of tents, sleeping bags, damp pads, survival blankets, etc.; and a set of fishing line.

The seventh type is transportation. Other than San Mao's Prado, my Ma Liu, I also have an Audi Q7 left behind by my father, which they used to drive when the accident happened. After I repaired it, I parked it in the garage and never touched it before.

Our original plan was
