The Farmer Ger in the Apocalypse

Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was despe...

Chapter 91: The End of the World - Journey to Zizhou 7

As they were killing zombies and rushing on the road, Song Kaiji also taught Shen Qing a lot of things along the way. Now that he was talking, there was a benefit. In the past, Shen Qing could only guess what he didn't know, and if he couldn't guess, he could only keep it in his heart. Now he just had to ask Song Kaiji, and Song Kaiji would tell him everything he knew.

It's different to have someone explain it to you than to grope around on your own. In addition, Song Kaiji's knowledge is much higher than Shen Qing's. In just a day or two, Shen Qing has gained a lot of new insights into the world.

What is industrialization, what is an open system, how did the world transform from ancient times to modern times, and how did it leap from a small peasant economy to a modern market economy... These were knowledge that was thousands of years ahead of its time for Shen Qing. As he listened to them, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but pester Song Kaiji to hear more.

But he had heard Song Kaiji recount the ancient dynasties of this world, but there was none that Shen Qing was familiar with. So he listened to Song Kaiji talking about what a parallel world was. He didn't understand, so Song Kaiji patiently told him one by one. He had never worked as a part-time tutor in college, but now he had the experience of being a teacher.

The two of them would spend time together whenever they had time, hiding from other people. In the eyes of others, they were really a very close couple.

After walking and stopping many times, it was not until noon of the third day that they finally arrived at the place where Song Kaiji's parents were ambushed.

This place is actually out of the Zizhou toll station, dozens of kilometers away from the city, and there are farmlands on both sides of the road. Li Liang has been unusually silent these days. Chen Jiaqian has used him to practice his supernatural powers several times, but he didn't suffer any damage, but he has no privacy since then. All the things he did that he didn't want to show his face, especially those about Song Kaiji's parents, were reported to Song Kaiji by Chen Jiaqian like a bamboo tube pouring beans, even when he moved into Song Kaiji's house and rushed to eat Song Kaiji's mother's nutritional supplements.

Li Liang had figured it out long ago. Song Kaiji would never let him go, so he simply refused to cooperate with anything and played dead with his eyes closed when he got to the land. He wanted to make sure that no one would have a good life unless he survived. Li Li, on the other hand, was very well behaved along the way. After seeing through Li Liang's behavior, she no longer cared about his feelings and focused on pleasing Song Kaiji and others.

What a joke! When Li Liang offended Song Kaiji, he didn't even consider her safety and situation. Was she going to die with Li Liang?

"It's nearby. There's a service area further ahead. We had just rested at the service area, so my brother and I got into someone else's car. Who knew we'd run into a large number of zombies as soon as we got here? There were also many zombie animals crawling out of the farmland."

As she spoke, Li Li felt even more desperate: she had seen an overturned car on the side of the road from a distance. It looked very familiar, and it seemed to be her second uncle's car.

Song Kaiji's heart sank. Of course he recognized his family's car. Could it be that he had come all the way from Hongcheng Base, only to receive a more certain piece of bad news?

"Don't scare yourself." Shen Qing patted the back of his hand. "Didn't they say that the tires of the car were broken by that guy called Wang Zheng? Even if the people in the car are fine and have left safely, they can't take the car away, right? It can only stay here. This doesn't mean that uncle and aunt are in danger."

Song Kaiji nodded. Shen Qing actually said a lot, but he couldn't relax at all at this moment. "I'll go down and take a look."

"Let's go together." Tang Wenjie said. There were too many zombies around here, and they had to clear them all out, otherwise even their car would be blocked.

They pulled the car over and opened the door a little. Song Kaiji still quickly released the wire cage. Tang Wenjie then used his supernatural powers to adjust the shape and position, isolating them two meters away before the zombies rushed over.

However, this time Song Kaiji did not rush to kill the zombies. Instead, he carefully observed all the zombies that were rushing up. Fortunately, there were no familiar figures among them, so he called on everyone to take action.

The situation here is very different from that near the Hongcheng base. The farther away from the Hongcheng base, the denser the zombies. After killing for more than two hours, there were no more zombies in sight. The others started to dig for crystal cores, while Song Kaiji hurried to his car to check.

There was no one in the car, and there was no blood. Not only that, the windows and doors were intact. Song Kaiji noticed that many of the decorations that were originally in the car were gone, even a pair of flat shoes that his mother had left in the car were gone.

Until then, Song Kaiji finally felt relieved: this meant that his parents were most likely still alive! Although it was possible that they were looted by passers-by, his mother's flat shoes were all stepped on by the heels, so there was really no need for others to take them!

Li Li also rushed out. The vines still bound her arms, but she still stumbled to the car. Seeing the situation in the car, she burst into tears and laughter: "It's okay, they must be okay, they are all alive... wuwuwu, it's all our fault, why didn't we come back to take a look at them, we wouldn't have been separated for so long..."

At that time, there were too many zombies here, and she and Li Liang didn't dare to think about it. What made her even happier at the moment was that her second uncle and second aunt were not dead, so Song Kaiji didn't have to do things so drastically: "Cousin, please let me go, I will definitely not run away, I also want to find my parents. When I find my parents, I will definitely not tell them what happened these days. Let's just pretend that nothing happened during this period, and we will still be a family in the future!"

What she said was really what she really thought. It wasn't that she didn't feel resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare and couldn't complain to her second uncle. Song Kaiji had obviously hooked up with the rich boss Shen, and after she reunited with her parents, she had to rely on Song Kaiji to take them back to the Hongcheng base.

Song Kaiji looked at her for a while, without saying anything or untying her, but his tone softened a little: "You've been here before, you know the terrain. Where do you think they'll go after they escape?"

Song Kaiji's willingness to talk to her was a good sign! Li Li immediately said positively: "We should go to the service area over there. There are already some people living in the service area. Or go back to Zizhou's home?"

Song Kaiji looked into the distance and said, "Then let's go to the service area first."

He put the car into his space. After all, it was his own car, so it was good to keep it as a memory. Anyway, Song Kaiji's space could hold it. The crystal cores of others had been dug out almost completely, and they were gathering together to wash them with water. Qu Weiwei looked serious, and called Shen Qing and Song Kaiji to come over and take a look: "Many of the crystal cores dug out by the zombies here are not transparent."

Although they didn't find anything wrong with the zombies when they killed them just now, and they didn't encounter the same evolved zombies as before, but the crystal core in front of them was obviously different.

Those crystal cores were larger in size, and their colors were not as bright as the orange-red one, but they were glowing with lights of various colors, and there were more than twenty of them.

"Does this mean that many zombies in Zizhou are evolving?" Shen Qing held a crystal core in his hand. The crystal core was slightly green, very light, and it would be more obvious under the sunlight. Qu Weiwei took the crystal core from Shen Qing: "I am particularly sensitive to this color, and I can't help but want to absorb it quickly."

Sun Cheng picked up a red glowing one: "Me too."

Could it be that these zombies really evolve in different directions like human superpowers? Song Kaiji's face was heavy. This new discovery of zombies added a layer of haze to Zizhou's trip.

A few kilometers away, there is a factory building at the foot of the mountain. This factory building was abandoned in the 1980s and 1990s. Because it is at the foot of the mountain and does not bother anyone, people were too lazy to spend more money to demolish it, so it was left here. Now, this factory building that has been abandoned for decades and looks like a haunted house can occasionally hear human voices.

A lame old woman carrying a tin bucket opened a room. There were six or seven young women in the room, their clothes were messy and torn, sitting on the ground with empty and numb expressions. When they smelled the food, some of them moved their eyes slightly.

But the food in the bucket was not really good. To call it food was a bit of an exaggeration. It was black, with unrecognizable plant leaves floating in it. The old woman scooped out the food from the bucket one bowl at a time and handed it to the girls in the room, and whispered, "Today it's Xiao Zhang, Xiao Yang, and Le Le."

The girls whose names were called shuddered and then whimpered. They didn't even dare to cry out loud. There was a brain-type mutant in the factory. His hobby was to use his mental power to patrol every situation. If he was dissatisfied with anyone, he would not just abuse them.

One of the girls lowered her voice and cried, "Aunt Zhang, it was me yesterday, why is it still me today..."

Zhang Sujuan didn't know how to answer. Was this something she could decide? She lowered her head, distributed the food, and limped out of the house with the empty bucket.

Her husband, Li Aiguo, was cooking in the kitchen with two other people. Li Aiguo had lost half of his ear, but fortunately it had scabbed over and did not affect his hearing. The couple exchanged glances but did not dare to speak.

It was not until the night rest that Zhang Sujuan took her husband's hand and, using the hem of his clothes to cover her, quietly wrote on his palm: Let's run.
