◎ Lost all my memories, woke up among the dead◎
There is no sign of life in the seemingly prosperous metropolis.
There were no lights, no pedestrians, no human voices. The street outside was in a mess with several cars lying across it, and there were traces of blood dragging on the ground, giving off dangerous signals everywhere.
A few tables were stacked in a dark corner of a convenience store not far away.
At the top of the table, a thin figure was curled up in a ball, motionless.
His stomach growled in protest and Rong Xiao turned over. The feeling of hunger became even stronger.
Sighing, she grabbed a handful of greenery from the corner of the table and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it twice and swallowed it with a frown.
So disgusting!
Even though she had shaken off the dirt as best she could, water was becoming increasingly difficult to find in the area. There wasn't even enough water to drink, let alone wash herself.
What she just swallowed to fill her stomach were a few handfuls of weeds she had pulled up yesterday.
The weeds growing on the roadside have a very strong bitter taste, and the fishy smell mixed with the soil does not arouse any appetite.
Rong Xiao sat up and looked around the empty and messy convenience store blankly.
More than a month ago, Rong Xiao woke up in a pile of dead bodies.
She had no memory at all. Apart from the barely discernible name on a blood-soaked work ID card in her pocket, she had no idea who she was.
I know nothing and am confused.
All she knew was that when she woke up, the world had been attacked by an unknown virus. Once humans were infected, they would turn into bloodthirsty monsters, madly chasing and biting living people. These monsters were called zombies.
The entire city has fallen into chaos, with supplies in short supply and order collapsing, making it like a dead city.
It was already difficult for Rong Xiao to find food and water nearby. When he first arrived at the convenience store, it had been looted and nothing was left. The same was true for the surrounding area. He didn't even encounter a living person.
"Bang!" A sound came from the back door.
Rong Xiao immediately became alert, jumped down nimbly from the two-meter-high table, grabbed a broom and moved silently to the door.
The door lock was pried off, and with a creak, the door opened inward, and a swaying black shadow was walking in.
Rong Xiao took advantage of his unpreparedness and struck him with a broom.
The wooden handle was accurately grasped by a hand that stretched out from the dark, and then a black muzzle of a gun appeared.
"Sorry, we didn't know there were people here. We have no ill intentions. We just want to find a safe place to stay for one night and leave tomorrow." The man holding the gun walked to a bright place, paused for only three seconds and then immediately moved the gun away, as if to express his sincerity that he would not hurt anyone, and nodded slowly.
The man holding the gun was a man. He was not tall, but he had a strong build, and his muscles were visible even through his clothes.
He has dark skin and looks to be in his thirties. His face is full of righteousness and he has neat short hair.
The man took out something and carefully held it in front of Rong Xiao to show her: "I am a police officer. I won't hurt you."
Rong Xiao reached out and grabbed it without hesitation, took a closer look at it, and then returned the document.
The ID card contained a man’s name, Long Qingyu.
"Please come in and take a seat." Rong Xiao spoke in a tone as if entertaining a guest, which made Long Qingyu dream back to the hotel.
A woman appeared behind him, looking at Rong Xiao curiously with her head tilted, and whispered in surprise, "It's a girl."
Rong Xiao blinked in confusion and said nothing. As soon as the shop became quiet, a sense of awkwardness suddenly arose for no reason.
Everyone sat down at a distance and looked at each other in the dark.
After a while, the woman took out a bag of biscuits and clean mineral water from her small backpack, and shared the food with Long Qingyu like a hamster.
As she was eating, the woman raised her head——
Rong Xiao was staring at her intently, and asked in a low voice, "What are you eating? Is it delicious?"
The woman took out the unopened biscuits and water and handed them over: "Do you want to eat? They are all clean and have never been opened. Don't worry."
She had looked around the convenience store when she came in.
The edible items had been looted, and there was no food residue or outer packaging to be seen.
Rong Xiao looked very thin, his skin was pale and bloodless, his lips were a light pink, and a little dry and cracked.
She didn't know how long Rong Xiao had been hungry here, but just thinking about it aroused her sympathy.
"Thank you." Rong Xiao was polite, but not at all rude. He thanked him, took the food, sat at the table beside him, opened the package and took a bite.
The biscuits were crispy and sweet, completely different from the weeds she had been chewing on these days. Rong Xiao couldn't help but stuff two more bites into her mouth and almost choked.
"Drink water, drink water!" the woman in the corner reminded hurriedly.
After taking a sip of the sweet cool water, Rong Xiao squinted her eyes in satisfaction. This was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.
It is sweet and crispy, and will turn into crumbs when you bite it. Finally, the sweetness will swirl into your stomach, and your mood will become better in an instant.
The woman in the corner moved a little, boldly approached Rong Xiao, and greeted him with a smile: "My name is Lingxi, what's your name?"
Chewing a biscuit in his mouth, Rong Xiao replied vaguely: "Rong Xiao."
Ling Xi asked again: "Are you the only one here?"
Rong Xiao nodded without any hesitation and ate the biscuits like a hamster.
Ling Xi laughed immediately: "Silly sister, if someone asks you this again in the future, don't answer honestly."
"Why?" Rong Xiao didn't understand.
"Some people like to bully those who are alone," Ling Xi reminded earnestly, "What if you meet a bad guy?"
"Oh, thank you." Rong Xiao nodded as if he understood, but it was unclear whether he really understood or was pretending.
Ling Xi was slightly stunned, then immediately guessed something and glanced at Long Qingyu beside her in surprise.
Ling Xi: A silly kid? A really silly kid?
A trace of sympathy couldn't help but spread in her eyes, and she quickly took out another can of food for Rong Xiao.
Long Qingyu immediately understood the hint in her eyes, but his thoughts were slightly different from Ling Xi's.
"Okay, stop disturbing others' rest and go to bed. We have important things to do tomorrow." Long Qingyu interrupted Ling Xi's preaching, smiled embarrassedly at Rong Xiao, and signaled her not to pay attention.
Ling Xi muttered a few words and stopped talking. He pulled up his coat and retreated to the wall, ready to take a nap. Suddenly, the window was smashed and a cold blue light flew into the room.
It was something like a needle. Rong Xiao was almost pricked by it but she dodged it quickly and it didn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
His originally dull and innocent eyes suddenly turned cold. Without waiting for Long Qingyu and the others to see clearly, Rong Xiao grabbed the syringe and rushed out.
Before the feeling of being targeted wore off, the attacker was right across the street!
Rong Xiao rushed out of the door and happened to see someone fleeing in panic across the street. She was very fast and blocked the person in the alley at the corner in no time.
The other person was holding a gun that was longer than his arm. When he saw her chasing him, he hurriedly prepared to aim the gun.
Something in his body seemed to be awakened, and Rong Xiao's eyes were covered with a layer of ruthless coldness, and the ruthlessness overflowing from the depths of his pupils was frightening.
The gun that Rong Xiao was about to raise was kicked away in mid-air. The attacker cursed inwardly and rushed forward to pick up the gun. Suddenly, his head exploded.
Rong Xiao knew this would be the result, so after stopping him from shooting, he squatted behind the trash can.
The gun lying on the ground also exploded after the man died, and the blue syringe inside and the entire gun body became a pile of waste.
It's like this again.
This is the third time.
After making sure that the man was dead, Rong Xiao carefully checked his pockets and trouser pockets, but found no identification.
If a sneak attack fails, both the attacker and the weapon will be dealt with in extreme ways.
Rong Xiao really didn't understand and couldn't remember why he was being attacked repeatedly.
"careful!"
"Bang——" a gunshot rang out.
Rong Xiao had already sensed the danger behind him, but the danger was resolved in an instant.
The zombie fell behind her with roars rolling in its throat.
Long Qingyu, who wanted to find out the situation, saw a very fast zombie preparing to pounce on Rong Xiao. Without any hesitation, he immediately aimed and shot, as if out of inertia of saving people.
"Be careful!" Rong Xiao narrowed his eyes and said the same words with a completely different tone and a smile.
In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of him, raised her hand to grab the hem of Long Qingyu's clothes, and pulled him aside with force.
The zombie who wanted to sneak attack Long Qingyu fell down.
The explosion and gunshots attracted many zombies. Rong Xiao left Long Qingyu and ran back to the convenience store holding the syringe. He grabbed a box from the cashier counter, carefully put the syringe in it, and held it tightly in his arms.
There were three identical syringes lying inside.
Three sneak attacks, three failures.
Rong Xiao didn't seem afraid at all. He whistled and walked out with the rattling box in his arms. "I know a place up ahead where zombies shouldn't come. Do you want to come?"
Ling Xi, who was waiting on the side of the road, secretly winked at Long Qingyu.
There were more and more zombies, and they were not familiar with the situation nearby. After hesitating for a moment, they decided to go with Rong Xiao.
The three of them went around to a small warehouse on the second floor next door. The windows there were small, and the two doors were quite sturdy, so they could hide there for the night without any problem.
After locking the door, Ling Xi sat down on the cardboard box next to her, holding her bag with red eyes and muttering to herself: "Brother Long, we have lost the last bullet. How can we save Da Huai?"
"There's only one bullet, and it won't do much good. We've already prepared for the worst this time." Long Qingyu patted Lingxi's shoulder, but the little consolation he had left was not convincing, and Lingxi's mood didn't improve.
"It's all because of me that Dahuai was captured." She bit her lips hard, as if punishing herself with the pain.
"You can't be blamed for this."
Lingxi was speechless and sat in the corner in a daze, depressed.
"What happened just now?" Long Qingyu glanced at Rong Xiao, who was holding the box, and asked, "You seemed...prepared?"
Rong Xiao opened the box and took a look, then closed it again: "It happens occasionally, small things."
Wow, I got ambushed and that person was blown to pieces, and that was a small matter?
Rong Xiao was too fast just now, and Long Qingyu didn't catch up with her previous fight with the attacker, otherwise he would not be able to continue sitting with Rong Xiao calmly.
In the end times, people often rely on their weapons to attack other survivors and steal supplies. Long Qingyu has seen this happen many times.
He automatically classified what happened just now into this category.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Rong Xiao found a corner, sat down obediently, and pretended to put his head on his arms.
Long Qingyu was about to speak when Rong Xiao interrupted him again.
"It's time for me to go to bed. You should go to bed early too."
Soon, the sound of even breathing filled the room.
Long Qingyu: “…”
Ling Xi: “…”
Do primary school students have a daily routine?
Rong Xiao was used to going to bed at this time.
One is to keep from being hungry, and the other is to attend class.
The world in dreams is not much better than reality. The empty and deserted city and the dark and messy streets are so real that it is shocking.
Rong Xiao seemed to be familiar with this dream world and walked into a coffee shop with a clear purpose.
"The first rule for survival in the apocalypse is to join a strong and reliable team."
"The second rule of survival in the apocalypse..."
There was a small blackboard on the cash register, and someone was writing on it while muttering something.
The man's back would flicker from time to time, like an advertising light with poor contact, injecting a sense of unreality into the extremely real dream world.
He was obviously taller and taller than Rong Xiao. When he turned around, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of mosaic, making his facial features blurry and difficult to distinguish. Even the voice he spoke from could not tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The author has something to say:
A team's survival in the apocalypse, with a focus on group portraits. Of course, the female lead is the strongest!
