Chapter 4.9. Travel Together

While keeping an eye on Qiao Zixi in the corner, Tian Yuanyuan was struggling with the zombies. Her black tights were already splattered with foul-smelling liquid. Looking at the ugly, grayish-blue, deathly faces in front of her and listening to the zombies' excited roars, her eyes were filled with hatred.

In just over ten minutes, Tian Yuanyuan killed all the zombies efficiently, but there was no joy in her eyes.

She turned and walked towards Qiao Zixi. When she got closer, she saw Qiao Zixi looking at her without saying a word. She thought she was frightened by the brutal scene just now.

"Are you okay?"

"Nothing."

Qiao Zixi looked at her steadily, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Seeing that she was not scared, Tian Yuanyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Qiao Zixi."

"Then I'll call you Sister Qiao from now on, and you call me Yuanyuan. Sister Qiao, let's go quickly. We can't stay here anymore."

After leaving the alley, the two discussed and decided to go to the street to get a car, so that they could get to the base faster and with more safety.

The end of the world happened in the morning, when many people were on their way to work. It must have been easy to get a car at that time.

As a result, there were many cars on the road, but most of the cars' fuel tanks had been emptied, and some cars had been smashed and could not be used. Motorcycles could be used, but the noise from starting a motorcycle was too loud and could easily attract zombies. In the end, the two had to give up this plan.

It has been more than half a month since the outbreak of the doomsday. Those who faced the reality and seized the opportunity have already gone to the survivor base. Those who remain are nothing more than some timid people who still have expectations of the government.

Along the way, they did encounter other survivors, but as soon as they saw the two weak women, the murderous look in their eyes could not be concealed. For safety reasons, the two did not stop along the way.

"Sister Qiao, it's getting dark. Shall we stay here for the night?"

After a whole day of traveling, killing zombies non-stop, and avoiding other survivors, Tian Yuanyuan was already exhausted. It was getting dark, and if she didn't find a place to rest, she would not have the strength to deal with the zombies at night.

These zombies are afraid of sunlight, so they move very slowly during the day. Most zombies travel at night, but at night, human vision is unclear, which is very unfavorable for fighting, so it is best not to go out at night.

Moreover, after humans turned into zombies, their bodies also mutated, becoming taller, with hard skin and bones. Even if their limbs or bodies were chopped off, they could still attack. They would not truly die unless their heads were chopped off. However, the skulls of zombies were extremely hard. Girls were originally at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and facing mutated zombies, the power gap was even greater. Moreover, she had to protect a pregnant woman, and she was exhausted both mentally and physically, and soon she could not hold on.

Qiao Zixi expanded his spiritual sense and scanned the small fruit shop in front of him. The fruits in the shop had long been snatched away. After many fights in the room, the tables, chairs and benches had been smashed. Thick dust was all over the floor, mixed with rotten fruits. The room was full of blood, turbid brain matter, and broken limbs. It was a horrifying sight.

Tian Yuanyuan ignored all of this. After walking into the store, she skillfully pulled down the metal shutter door, and then moved the tables, chairs and benches to the side of the door to block it. Only after doing all this did she take a breath.

It was already dark, there was no light in the room, the doors and windows were closed, and the view was dim.

As soon as she relaxed, Tian Yuanyuan felt tired all over. She rubbed her sore wrist, saw the machete with a cut in her hand, and thought of her non-aggressive ability. She felt anxious, but when she saw Qiao Zixi beside her, she didn't know what she thought of, and she calmed down again.

Qiao Zixi took out a blanket from her backpack, spread it on the ground, and then sat on it. She had been traveling all day and had only eaten a few pieces of bread at noon. Although she was not hungry, the baby in her belly needed nutrition, so she took out the food she had prepared before leaving. The food in the exquisite thermos was still hot and fragrant.
