Chapter 47: Shelter

After Lu Yuanze closed the fuel tank cap, he turned to Yan Chu and asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Chen Qianxing just told me that most of the people who got caught in the rain that day turned into zombies." Yan Chu said.

Lu Yuanze paused: "Will I become a zombie too?"

Yan Chu: "...That's not the case."

She wondered if she hadn't explained it clearly enough, so she elaborated, "People who get caught in the rain basically turn into zombies that day, but a few can escape."

Hu Zi understood and said "Oh" in a long tone: "So Brother Lu is the 'minority'?"

Yan Chu nodded: "That's right."

"By the way, Chen Qianxing, Gu Qinyuan, Su Shu and I were all caught in the rain, but we didn't mutate." Yan Chu counted on his fingers.

Hu Zi: “?”

Hu Zi: "You call this a minority?"

"that……"

A childish voice sounded from the side. Luo Yiyi pulled Yan Chu's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, I got caught in the rain that day, too."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yu looked at Luo Yiyi in surprise.

"Weren't you staying at home that day?"

Luo Yiyi took a step behind Yan Chu, feeling somewhat guilty: "I... went out to buy fried chicken and didn't bring an umbrella."

Luo Yu originally wanted to be angry, but when she saw Luo Yiyi secretly glancing at her, the anger in her chest finally turned into fear and relief.

Fortunately, fortunately Luo Yiyi did not mutate and was still in front of him.

Hu Zi: “…”

It turns out that he is the minority here!

When the two cars finished refueling, the heavy rain outside was still continuing, and splashes of rain could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Rainwater streamed down the edge of the gas station roof.

Ever since people learned that there might be viruses in rainwater, they subconsciously stayed away from the rain.

Only Yan Chu stood at the edge, just one step away from the rain.

After pondering for a moment, she found an empty mineral water bottle and collected some rainwater.

If she has the chance to find a scientific research institution, she wants to see if there is really a zombie virus in the rainwater.

After Yan Chu tightened the cap of the mineral water bottle, he saw Hu Zi standing beside him staring blankly at the heavy rain outside.

"Why, do you want to get wet in the rain too?" she asked casually.

Hu Zi shook his head, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

"I just suddenly remembered that when we were having dinner that night, my mother complained that it was raining so hard that her clothes were soaked... But I didn't take it seriously."

Yan Chu was stunned.

This was the first time Hu Zi mentioned his family.

Previously in the supermarket, when Chen Qianxing asked everyone if they had any relatives or friends they wanted to find, Hu Zi just shook his head.

Even if she didn't say the following words, she could probably guess that something had happened to Hu Zi's mother.

"Don't make that expression. I'm not that fragile." Hu Zi lowered his eyes. "I just feel a little regretful. Back then, I was so busy playing games that I didn't pay much attention to her."

Yan Chu's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak again.

She didn't know how to comfort Hu Zi.

After all, she had only seen her parents a few times.

**

They were less than a hundred kilometers away from Yue City. After driving for an hour, they saw a sign indicating the entry into Yue City just ahead of them.

Yan Chu looked at this strange city curiously.

Although we haven't entered the central city yet, we can already see some clues from the number of zombies in the suburbs.

There are indeed fewer zombies in Yue City than in previous cities.

But it's just a little less.

As the car gradually drove towards the central city, the road became visibly congested, and accident cars and abandoned cars could be seen everywhere on the road.

Seeing that the car was getting slower and slower and was about to be caught up by the zombies, Gu Qinyuan simply turned the steering wheel and turned directly onto the sidewalk on the side, rushing across the sidewalk and forcing his way out.

Hu Zi in the back car widened his eyes: "Damn, what a ruthless person!"

Their primary target in Yue City was the hotel where Luo Yu's husband was staying on a business trip.

However, when the car drove near the hotel, Luo Yu's heart sank instantly.

It was obvious that a serious fire had occurred in this hotel. The entire area above the second floor had been completely burned, and even the steel bars in the walls were exposed.

The once luxurious European-style hotel is now just a charred outline.

The only intact lobby on the first floor was in a mess, with large splattered bloodstains everywhere. At the front desk, several zombies were gathered together gnawing at a half-dead body.

The strong smell of blood and the remaining smoke from burning things mixed together, the smell was disgusting.

"There shouldn't be anyone here," Lu Yuanze turned around and glanced at Luo Yu, "Let's go."

Luo Yu pursed his lips in a daze and nodded.

When Lu Yuanze was about to drive away, Hu Zi suddenly pointed in the direction of the restaurant next to the hotel.

"Brother Lu, what is that?"

Lu Yuanze narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a piece of A4 white paper stuck on the glass wall of the hotel next door. On it was written in black pen:

[Survivors please seek refuge in Yue City First Prison.]

On the other side, Yan Chu also discovered the paper stuck on the wall.

"There's a shelter here?"

This piece of paper can be seen almost every few kilometers in Yue City, and it almost covers the entire Yue City.

Who would have thought that the prison that everyone avoided before the end of the world would now become a refuge?

Yan Chu stared at the blank paper thoughtfully: "I wonder how many survivors Yue City's prison can accommodate."

Chen Qianxing smiled and said, "After all, it's the largest prison in the country. It should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people without any problem."

Yan Chu turned around and looked at him: "You seem to know a lot?"

"I know it quite well, because I once visited Yue City No. 1 Prison when I was in high school."

As Chen Qianxing spoke, a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"The prison had dormitories, a cafeteria, and a playground. At first glance, it looked exactly like my high school, except they were operating sewing machines while we were going to school. At the time, everyone joked that going to high school was no different from being in prison."

I don’t know how his high school classmates are doing now, or whether they are still alive.

The location of Yue City No. 1 Prison is a bit remote, but it is not difficult to find. The nearby barren mountains look bare, with only a high-walled courtyard standing in it.

The nearly ten-meter-high reinforced concrete walls on both sides are covered with dense accordion-shaped electric grids, and there is an infrared detection head every few meters on the wall.

The huge steel door in the middle glowed with a cold light. On either side of the door hung stainless steel plaques with a row of large characters written on them:

Yue City No. 1 Prison.

This is it.

As he got closer to the prison gate, Yan Chu noticed that there were many dead zombie bodies on both sides of the road.

Moreover, some zombie corpses had a conspicuous charred bullet hole on their foreheads. Not only that, there were also bullet holes everywhere on the ground.
