Days passed, two months went by, and the infectious disease finally came to an end. Not because doctors had brought it under control, but because most of the hosts had died.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Shenzhen today as a land of corpses and blood.

Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran put on their masks and went out, but they were almost vomited by a strong stench as soon as they stepped out the door.

After finally calming their stomachs, the two of them started walking downstairs.

At the entrance of Uncle Yang's shop, they saw Uncle Yang, whose chin and below were covered in blood. His body had turned blue, his eyes were wide open, and flies were swarming around him.

Who would have thought that someone she knew would end up like this? Cheng Zhi didn't go forward, and pulled Xiao Feiran along as they continued walking.

They walked the entire street without seeing a single living person; either the houses were empty, or the houses were rotting away.

Undeterred, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran went to the square again.

The result is that the once bustling square is now completely empty.

They searched street by street, finding only corpses and dying people; they didn't see a single healthy person.

Finally, they got tired and turned to go home.

When they arrived at their doorstep, Cheng's father was fully equipped with protective gear, using a watering can to thoroughly disinfect the two of them from every angle.

It's no exaggeration to say that Cheng Zhi felt like she was drowning, but her father still didn't stop, muttering to himself, "Is this enough? Want some more?"

Cheng Zhi touched her face and said to Cheng Ye, who was standing in the distance wearing a mask, "Little brother, get me a bar of soap. I can take a shower now."

Finally, when Mr. Cheng felt the disinfection was complete, he turned off the spray gun.

Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran looked as if they had been caught in a downpour; their hair and clothes were soaked.

Seeing that it was over, Cheng Ye immediately handed over a bath towel, "Hurry up and dry yourself off."

The two women took it and started wiping it. Since the clothes wouldn't dry, they simply sat down on the floor.

When Cheng's parents asked about the situation outside, they answered truthfully.

Who could have imagined that the outside world had become like this? Mr. and Mrs. Cheng were stunned. "How come there isn't a single healthy person left..."

Seeing her parents like this, Xiao Feiran tried to comfort them, "We just didn't see it. Maybe it's in a place further away."

Mr. Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, "You've searched all three streets around here and haven't found it, so there's definitely no way you'll find it further away."

Xiao Feiran didn't understand why Cheng's father was so negative, but Cheng Zhi explained, "Because our family lives in the suburbs. This kind of infectious disease is most dangerous when there are many people. So many people have died in the suburbs, so even more people will die in the city where there are many people."

Only then did Xiao Feiran remember that their home was in the suburbs, which explained why Cheng's parents acted that way.

Cheng Ye, standing next to him, also looked rather grim. "My friends and classmates are mostly in this area."

Although Cheng Zhi wanted to comfort him, they had carefully checked the area and there was indeed no one there. She could only pat Cheng Ye on the shoulder and say, "Maybe they moved away like Zhou Lin."

Cheng Ye took a deep breath. "The fact that we didn't see any bodies means there's a possibility they're still alive. I believe they must still be alive."

Cheng Zhi was surprised that Cheng Ye adjusted so quickly. She patted Cheng Ye's head with satisfaction and agreed, "Yes, as long as we haven't seen the body or heard the news of his death, it means he must still be alive somewhere in this world."

The day's exploration left everyone feeling frustrated. As night fell, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran went to the third-floor terrace again.

They wanted to see how many houses would have their lights on at night. Cheng Zhi looked around with binoculars and found no more than 10 houses with lights on. Even the villa area of ​​Dongqing Academy was dark.

Cheng Zhi finally couldn't help but sigh, "How come even the rich people are gone?"

Xiao Feiran, standing next to him, looked up at the starry sky and said, "Viruses attack indiscriminately."

Because Cheng Zhi was ill at this time in her previous life, she was unaware of the situation outside, so she asked Xiao Feiran about the deaths and injuries in her previous life.

Hearing Cheng Zhi ask him this, Xiao Feiran turned his gaze away from the starry sky. "Xiashan doesn't have as many people as Pengcheng, so the infection situation shouldn't be as severe as it is now. Didn't you go out after you recovered? There were still quite a few people there."

It seems that every city is different; some cities may continue to operate, while others may perish.

There is now a very high probability that Pengcheng is the city that is about to be destroyed.

To be honest, even though they are all alive and well now, Cheng Zhi felt a chill down her spine. If almost everyone dies, wouldn't humanity be on the verge of extinction?

Thinking of the remaining few households, Cheng Zhi didn't know how long they could live or whether they could survive until the next disaster.

Xiao Feiran, standing next to her, seemed to see through what she was thinking. "Humans are social animals. When you don't have companions, you can feel really lost. In my past life, when you were seriously ill, I thought about committing suicide every day. I would rather die with you than live alone."

This mentality is both normal and terrifying, but it is indeed the mentality of most people nowadays.

People can't dwell on such negative emotions all the time. If they keep thinking like that, they will be swallowed up by these emotions and give up hope of living.

Almost instantly, Cheng Zhi made a decision: "No, we have to move. We can't stay in this pile of dead bodies forever."

Hearing Cheng Zhi's decision, Xiao Feiran was not surprised. She had already made up her mind that even if Cheng Zhi hadn't brought it up, she would have.

"Let's go back inside and discuss which city to move to," Xiao Feiran said as they walked back.

Cheng Zhi was still standing there, seemingly lost in thought, completely motionless.

She didn't respond when called, so Xiao Feiran had to turn back to try and pull her up. But when she got to her, she found that she was just spacing out.

As soon as Xiao Feiran took Cheng Zhi's hand, Cheng Zhi suddenly tightened her grip, a hopeful smile on her face, "Xiao! I've thought of a place to move to!"

Seeing how excited she was, Xiao Feiran roughly guessed the answer. "I know where you want to move to. Let's go inside first and discuss it. After all, we may be willing to go, but Mom and Dad may not be."

Cheng Zhi, already enraged, didn't care about anything else. She grabbed Xiao Feiran's other hand and jumped up, shouting, "To Yangzhou! To Yangzhou! To find Yiyi! Wuhu!!!"
