Chapter 329 I understand

Jiang Liyue didn't say much, and took her medicine and went out.

She found a secluded alley without cameras, put the medicine into her spatial storage, and then went to buy other things with her hands empty.

Because the mission included the objective of "reaching the safe zone," she didn't plan to stay in the rented house for long.

Since there hasn't been a zombie outbreak yet and the location of the safe zone is unknown, she's staying in the rented apartment for the time being.

Whenever she received news of a safe zone, she would immediately leave the rented house.

Therefore, Jiang Liyue did not plan to reinforce the rental house.

She doesn't know how far the safe zone will be, and she might need a means of transportation, but the tens of thousands of yuan she has aren't enough to buy a car.

Jiang Liyue glanced at her balance and gave up on buying a car.

There's no way to get by working as fast as robbing someone.

After the zombie outbreak, there will probably be cars everywhere, then she can just buy them for free.

Jiang Liyue spent the afternoon wandering around the area before returning to her rented room with her finds.

She put her things in her spatial storage beforehand, so even if other people in the neighborhood saw her, she would return empty-handed.

It saved a lot of trouble.

Although the occupancy rate of the community is not high, there are still more than 200 households. If they are really targeted, who knows how much trouble will follow.

After renting the apartment, Jiang Liyue was added to the owners' group by the real estate agent.

At this moment, the residents in the group were talking about the zombie virus.

1708, Building 3: [Do you guys think that virus is real? The one in the news, they made it sound really serious, telling us to stay home as much as possible.]

8th Floor, 0714: [I think this is just alarmist talk. It's just a small virus, what's so scary about it?]

10th Floor, Unit 0501: [I think it's good to be prepared, I've already bought some supplies in advance.]

Apartment 0501, Building 10: [Image.jpg]

Jiang Liyue clicked on the picture and took a look. It was a shelf full of food, with various canned goods, rice, and cooking oil. It looked like the owner had indeed prepared everything well.

But when Jiang Liyue saw this picture, she shook her head inwardly.

Posting his stockpiled goods in the group was meant to show off, but this person clearly underestimated the wickedness of human nature in a post-apocalyptic world.

When a real emergency comes, won't all his food become a granary for others?

Jiang Liyue exited the chat interface and searched for terms like "safe zone" and "shelter" online.

I wonder if the safe zone has been established by now.

Unfortunately, there is no relevant information online.

Jiang Liyue slumped on the sofa, bored, playing games.

When we finished dinner in the evening, someone posted a video in the group.

In the video, a woman in a blue and white striped hospital gown stumbles off the bed and lunges at the nurse who is checking on her.

Before the nurse could even scream, she collapsed to the ground, while the female patient squatted on the ground, leaning over the nurse and gnawing on something.

At the end of the scene, the female patient raises her head, revealing her pale and bluish face, bloodshot eyes, and a ring of red blood at the corner of her mouth.

Because of fear, the person filming not only trembled throughout the second half of the video, but also made sounds of his frightened gasps and panting.

Even so, it is still clear in the video that the female patient no longer resembles a normal human being, but rather a zombie often seen in literary works.

After the video was posted, there was a moment of silence in the group.

Then came a long string of information.

[Holy crap, is this real or just a movie?]

[This is a genuine video; my friend works at a hospital, and she told me it's real.]

[Isn't this just a zombie?]

No, I don't want an apocalypse. I hope the authorities can resolve this soon.

What should I do? This is terrifying...

Is this only happening in our city?

I've heard it's appeared in many cities, so hiding anywhere won't help.

"Would things be better in the countryside? No, I want to go back to my grandma's house. There are fewer people there, and at least we can be self-sufficient."

Jiang Liyue had been looking at her phone for a short while when she heard someone driving out of the neighborhood.

She guessed it was because someone in the group chat said they were going back to their hometown.

The next morning, Jiang Liyue saw from the window that some people had brought back large and small bags from outside.

However, most people in the group still didn't believe it, thinking it was just a fabricated video, deliberately meant to scare people.

Jiang Liyue had been keeping an eye on the information online. In the morning, there were only videos of people being bitten, and each video would be deleted shortly after it was posted.

But by the afternoon, various videos of people being bitten had been posted.

In the video, without exception, the biting creatures were all grotesque and terrifying-looking zombies.

Many people are now saying that the end of the world is coming.

I'm speechless. I went to the supermarket this afternoon, and all the food was gone. I only managed to grab two jellies.

The market I went to is now twenty times the usual price. These unscrupulous vendors, why isn't anyone doing anything about it?

Did you buy it?

Why buy it? It's so expensive, you're losing money!

I spent 1,000 yuan to buy 10 jin (5 kg) of rice.

At that moment, everyone in the group was complaining about rising prices, but Jiang Liyue suddenly heard screams coming from downstairs.

She drew back the curtains and looked down, and saw a woman being held down by a zombie in a bizarre position, crying out in pitiful distress.

Jiang Liyue knew that the zombie outbreak had completely occurred.

She blinked, her first thought being, "I wonder what kind of identity her boyfriend is in this alternate version of the story."

It can't be a zombie, can it?

In a secret laboratory in City A, a man in a white lab coat stared expressionlessly at a petri dish.

The man behind him lowered his head and said, "Doctor, it's out of control."

The tall man slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and his deep, melodious voice, like that of a cello, rang out: "Understood."
