Travel on cloudy days

"Ten rounds in total, no more."

Fu Bin sneered and said, "If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, get out of here. Do you still want me to give it to you?"

He held his chin high and spoke in a haughty manner. He said this deliberately for Jiang Ziyao and the other man standing at the door to hear, and also to show his power to Liu Dong.

Today is the first time that Jiang Ziyao and Liu Dong go out. Liu Dong asks for equipment from the camp as usual. The start is not smooth, which is not a good sign.

There are more than twenty people in the entire camp. Li Liang, as an alien, is the core of the entire team. He is stationed at the site and is responsible for the main security. He also holds the power of all decision-making. Fu Bin, as Li Liang's right-hand man, is given a lot of power.

The camp is not far from the town. Liu Dong once said that the remote mountains might be more dangerous than the city.

Based on the content of the text, Jiang Ziyao knew that they didn't have much time in this city, and they would have to pass through the toll station and leave sooner or later. Not knowing the risks in the future, he wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

Since there were no hot weapons, Huo Chi picked up an axe from the iron weapons. He felt that the dagger was too small and not convenient to use, so he changed for a bigger one.

"Brother Jiang, look at me! Am I handsome? Does it feel like Saw?" He carried the axe on his shoulder and did not forget to pose towards Jiang Ziyao.

Before the male peacock could even spread his feathers, he was ridiculed, "Do you want to get in the car now, or do you want me to build a catwalk for you first?"

Liu Dong bent over to organize his tools and slammed the trunk shut. He also took three large backpacks. His tone was cold, and it was as chilling as the feeling of pointing a knife at him when they first met.

Jiang Ziyao understood Liu Dong's serious attitude. He was an old member here but did not receive any preferential treatment. Looking at the way he and Fu Bin were preparing their crossbows, he knew that he was not in a good situation. If they could not find supplies this time, they would all be in trouble.

Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi still have a way out, but Liu Dong has to take care of Liu Xiaobei, and he has a soft spot that can be easily exploited.

Huo Chi curled his lips and whispered in Jiang Ziyao's ear: "Sometimes he speaks in a fashionable way, like a young man, and he is particularly good at insulting others."

Jiang Ziyao asked back: "Is he very old?"

Huo Chi shrugged: "Tsk... Although his face is dry, his skin is bad and he has a lot of wrinkles, he still has a dark stubble on his chin, and he speaks very harshly, he is still a father of a child, so he is still relatively young?"

Jiang Ziyao did not comment on his evaluation, but only hummed meaningfully.

Huo Chi watched him turn around silently and lean against the side of the car, his eyebrows slightly raised, his head slightly raised, his hair blown by the wind, making him look elegant and flamboyant.

Huo Chi stared in amazement. Jiang Ziyao was much whiter than him, and did not have the rough look of a grown man at all. When he was in college, he only sweated lightly when playing basketball under the sun and was not affected by ultraviolet rays at all.

His dark eyes were bright, but Jiang Ziyao's smile was very evil, which was not a good situation.

As expected, Liu Dong suddenly appeared behind Huo Chi and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"

——Just waiting to see him make a fool of himself!

Huo Chi was a little embarrassed, but he also admitted defeat. He laughed dryly twice: "Right away, right away..."

Liu Dong was annoyed and snorted, "You're just wasting your time."

Huo Chi didn't know if he had heard it or not. He was too guilty to look him in the eye and changed the subject: "Do you have a detailed map? How do you get there? Can you show me the route?"

Liu Dong put the map in Huo Chi's hand expressionlessly: "What's the point of you looking at it? The car can't go on the highway, unless you want to be a takeaway yourself."

Huo Chi smacked his lips: "I said he was very fashionable."

Liu Dong didn't look at him again. He turned and walked away after he finished speaking. Before getting on the car, he deliberately passed by Jiang Ziyao, and their arms touched.

Jiang Ziyao immediately felt something cold in his palm. It was a pistol! He didn't say anything, but just looked at the other person in surprise.

"Five shots, don't use them until the last moment." Liu Dong said this and got into the car.

Jiang Ziyao immediately put the gun behind his waist. They were wearing relatively clean clothes that came from somewhere unknown, but the size was not right and he was forced to expose part of his ankles.

This time they were going to Nanpu District. The last time Liu Dong arrived at Huayu District, Nanpu District was just behind it. There was a secret path for them to enter the city. Liu Dong said that they sacrificed five people for this road.

This time they parked the car closer to the destination, bypassing the supermarket they had visited before, and got out of the car.

The fastest way to enter Nanpu District is through a park square. Liu Dong said that when he explored that direction the day before yesterday, there were not many zombies, so if nothing unexpected happens, it should be relatively smooth.

But today is a cloudy day, the sky is dark and without light, which is the environment they like.

Liu Dong held the gun in both hands. The park entrance and the outermost area were empty. Just like what he had seen before, there were only a few pieces of rotten bones and meat scraps left on the ground.

Just walk through the activity center opposite and Nanpu Street will be behind you.

At first glance, the activity center is very clean, which means it is safe, which is perfect.

They couldn't stay without cover for too long, so Liu Dong said, "Go in now."

They were holding weapons in their hands and on guard, but Jiang Ziyao spoke up at this time: "Wait."

The two looked at him at the same time. Jiang Ziyao had doubts in his heart: "I always feel that something is wrong. There are a lot of debris on the ground. It is obvious that a large number of zombies have appeared. There shouldn't be even a shadow."

Liu Dong replied: "The scraps of cloth on the ground are military uniforms, which means that someone with more firepower has cleared them out. There is nothing strange about it. This is a good thing for us."

"Really?" Jiang Ziyao hesitated, his steps were a little slow. The damn words did not appear, and the bloody smell in the air was still nauseating. He also heard dense low growls, but unfortunately there was no trace of zombies in his sight. Was he hallucinating?

Jiang Ziyao was a little distracted and accidentally bumped into Liu Dong's back. He was startled and was almost shot by Liu Dong's quick hands.

Liu Dong glared at him and said, "Focus."

He raised his gun angrily: "Listen, I know you have some skills, but I won't waste my time on someone. If any of you are trapped or suddenly cause me any trouble, I will give you a bullet, understand?"

Huo Chi said he was stinging: "We have lived and died together, you are too inhumane."

Liu Dong sneered. He was serious. He turned around and went up the stairs. Jiang Ziyao suddenly became curious and asked from behind, "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Live survivors."

"I have killed him." Liu Dong said.

"How many have you killed?"

Liu Dong didn't answer him accurately: "The living are not much better than the zombies. You should understand this."

Jiang Ziyao asked a different question: "Then why did you save us in the first place?"

Liu Dong answered bluntly: "As long as people are alive, they have value."

Jiang Ziyao is fine now. It is expected that people will kill each other in a tight living environment. But a few days ago, he and Huo Chi were the best league branch cadres in the grade, outstanding young people, and they feasted in a hot pot restaurant with national scholarships.

They have been struggling for twenty years and are the best at adapting to the environment, but from the beginning to the end, there has been a sense of separation between this world and them. He is Jiang Ziyao in 3901, and this will not change.

He thought that after surviving the apocalypse for two years, Jiang Ziyao should be similar to Liu Dong, with absolute indifference and vigilance for survival.

"Focus, don't let me remind you again." Liu Dong hunched his back as he moved forward. He had to be more careful this time, not wanting to miss any corner, eaves, walls, roof. After confirming everything, he stepped in.

But the air in front of him suddenly cracked open, like a popped bubble bursting into tiny water droplets.

Jiang Ziyao suddenly felt something was wrong, and he immediately realized what that layer of shimmering mist was.

Whatever clings to the surface of the air disappears at the fastest speed.

【——Text: Gene sequence 88, barrier.】

【Functional system.】

【Gene level, low level.】

As expected, a thunderbolt struck in the sky, and the roar of the zombies finally reached Jiang Ziyao's ears clearly. At a glance, all he saw were human heads, and they all looked at the living people.

It turns out that they have been under the noses of the zombies.

"Run!" Liu Dong's roar merged into the thunder. Lightning flashed before their eyes, and the white light also hit the pale and twisted head. They saw the densely packed zombies in the hall. How many hundreds? Countless, like ant colonies or beehives, with strange postures comparable to those of wild beasts, rushing over in a rolling and crawling manner.

The air was filled with a foul smell, but the zombies were extremely sensitive to human scent, and they couldn't shake off the group of ogres even though they ran all the way.

Liu Dong shouted, "West! Follow me!"

They couldn't rush around like headless flies, so when he planned to pass through here, he paid attention to the layout of the buildings. There was a small door on the west and east sides. He took a gamble, and by the time the three of them arrived at the door, his heart was in his throat.

"Damn it!" Liu Dong cursed. The door was locked from the inside. He rushed forward and pushed it with his shoulder, but it was finally pushed open by his own strength.

Huo Chi went up and kicked the door, but it couldn't be opened. Chopping the door with an axe was also useless.

The group of zombies chased after them directly. The supernatural power just now was set up by the alien in order to trap the zombies in the hall, but it was accidentally destroyed by them.

Liu Dong fired two shots in a row. Although he accurately blew up the two heads in the front, the bullets were far from enough to eliminate the group of zombies.

Now they still have eight bullets, an axe and a dagger in their hands, oh... plus a shovel, but with all these combined, the chance of them surviving the zombie horde is 0, and they will definitely be torn into pieces.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and they tried to run in another direction, but the zombies had already pounced on them.

"Huo Chi!" Jiang Ziyao shouted.

Huo Chi alertly swung the axe and smashed it at the opponent's head. Fortunately, the zombies were not as quick as normal people. Without food, the longer the zombies mutated, the slower their bodies became. His axe went straight down and got stuck in the middle of their heads.

No one told him that the flesh of the zombies was like swamp mud, that the face was split in half, and the eyeballs were squeezed out and stepped on to become debris. With cold sweat on his head, he rushed forward and kicked the zombie away, and when he swung the axe again, he accurately chopped at the neck.

Is it exciting to chop meat with a knife? It is said that flying blood can stimulate people's adrenaline. Huo Chi's mind was in a mess. He stared at Jiang Ziyao's figure while chopping randomly. He couldn't even say a word.

The zombies were still approaching in an endless stream. The crowds of heads made people dizzy. Their mouths were open and if they were not careful, a piece of flesh would be bitten off. If they wanted to survive, they had to pierce their brains. This was what Jiang Ziyao thought as he stabbed the dagger into their brains. He did not use a gun.

There cannot be any mistakes. If they are knocked down or anything goes wrong with their bodies, they will be immediately surrounded and eaten. They cannot look back or stop. It turns out that killing zombies and crossing this line can allow them to adapt so quickly.

They ran while paying attention to their environment, as God did not intend to kill them.

"There's an iron gate!"

This was surprising. Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi's running speed never slowed down, and they even left Liu Dong behind. Jiang Ziyao swore that it was just like he ran 50 meters out of a thousand meters in the physical test.

The iron gate at the corner was about 1.5 meters high, and they quickly climbed over it by holding onto the railing.

Liu Dong was a step too slow and his foot was caught, but fortunately Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi pulled him in time and lifted him over with their hands.

He immediately checked his leg to make sure there were no wounds.

The zombies surrounded the iron door and banged on it. Jiang Ziyao was somewhat relieved that at least the zombies would not climb over the door directly. They crowded at the door, and some were pressed underneath, like human burgers, stretching out their hands and growling.

Huo Chi calmed down and went forward with another axe. His face turned red and even the muscles in his hands were twitching.

Jiang Ziyao asked: "Is it okay?"

Huo Chi: “Not bad.”

After a while of panic, he propped himself up on his knees and was able to laugh: "This is ridiculous. Even after becoming a zombie, he still wants to roll. Just now, he rushed towards the ones in front like a long-distance runner. It's a pity that he died quickly because he was caught up quickly."

Liu Dong was breathing heavily, he was worried: "The lock of the door is rusty, it won't block it for long, let's go forward and see if there is a way out."

Compared to the two of them, Jiang Ziyao's heartbeat was as steady as if he had just taken a simple detour.

Liu Dong looked at Jiang Ziyao and had to admit that he was a little old.

But Jiang Ziyao knew in his heart that it was the genetic awakening that made him different. In addition to the extra superpowers, it seemed to also have the effect of improving people's physical fitness.

The place they are in now is a garbage dump. There are several zombies in it, but they have been crushed under the garbage and cannot get out.

And this landfill was built right next to the wall of Nanpu District.

"Although it's a bit tortuous, it won't affect our plan. Let's climb over it." Jiang Ziyao picked up the box on the ground, stood on tiptoe, and climbed over the wall neatly.

They climbed up the wall, which was about two meters high. There were too many zombies on the commercial streets of Nanpu District, but the residential area was relatively safe. There were a few shadows wandering below, but they did not pose a big threat to them.

Jiang Ziyao stood on a high place and looked forward. The wind blew his hair into a mess, and the sand stuck to his hair, making him feel upset.

Huo Chi put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Brother Jiang, let's get a hat to wear if we have a chance."
