Chapter 27
Although it is a good thing to have someone to help, only Wen Xin knows where the things in the house are kept.
Besides, he had some personal belongings that he was not comfortable handing over to outsiders to pack up, so he declined the kindness of the crew cut man and his friends.
The group was used to being ordered around, and had been through a lot along the way. They were very nervous and had never thought about not having anything to do.
They stood in the living room at a loss, feeling an unprecedented sense of emptiness.
Wen Xin didn't let them idle either.
Seeing the young man struggling to carry out the water barrel, the crew-haired man and the others were stunned and quickly walked over to help.
When Wen Xin asked them to carry several buckets of water to the bathroom, they instantly realized the purpose of the water and couldn't help looking at the young man with complicated expressions.
Because of what happened at the door just now, they thought Wen Xin's promise was just to temporarily reassure them.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually willing to give up the water for them to take a bath.
Wen Xin is not a person who does not know how to be grateful.
If they hadn't encountered any difficulties on the way, the crew-haired guy wouldn't have gotten himself so dirty and messy, and it wouldn't have taken so long to get here.
Even though they were commissioned by Wen Jinfeng, Wen Xin was very grateful in his heart.
It is unclear whether the water is contaminated, so it cannot be drunk rashly. He usually only uses it for bathing.
Now that we are leaving, we might as well use it all up at once to avoid wasting it.
The crew-haired guy and the others looked at each other, and the depression of having to bring the cat on the road was relieved a little.
This is not the end.
After coming out of the shower, they saw the young man put the promised beef jerky, chicken sausage and other things on the tea table for them to use. The crew-haired guy and his friends could hardly hide the surprise on their faces.
Wen Xin thought there wasn't enough for them to share, so he apologized, "We have to keep some for ourselves, so this is all we can give you for now."
The man with the crew cut and the others understood what he meant, and after being silent, they quickly waved their hands.
"No, no, there are quite a lot."
Fearing that they might be cautious or resentful of his threatening behavior, Wen Xin took the initiative to open a bag of beef jerky and handed it to them.
It seems unreasonable to refute it any further.
The man with the crew cut paused for a moment, then took the food and shared it with everyone.
They were not that hungry now, after all, they had brought enough energy bars before going out.
Moreover, anyone who has the strength to cross thousands of kilometers of zombie-infested roads from City A to City G safely certainly has no shortage of ways to fill their stomachs.
What made them suddenly stunned was the kindness and gentleness inadvertently revealed by the young man.
Seeing that a few people were willing to eat, Wen Xin stood up again and went to make instant noodles for them.
Although instant noodles are not considered a big meal, a bowl of steaming hot noodles can instantly wash away the frustration of eating energy bars for several days in a row, as well as the chill left on the body by the biting cold wind.
This time, the men with crew cuts acted more naturally than when they were eating beef jerky just now.
After wiping their mouths after finishing the meal, they leaned back on the sofa, relaxed, and let out a sigh of satisfaction, as if a long-carried burden had suddenly been lifted off their shoulders.
Scarface was paralyzed and yelled: "This is the kind of life a human being should live—"
All of a sudden the men started talking.
They first cursed the damn apocalypse with great indignation and gave the middle finger to the evil God who had suddenly gone mad.
Then I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself. I had been busy before and after the disaster, running around all the time.
Through their complaints, Wen Xin also learned a lot of information about the outside world.
The authorities are not doing nothing.
As early as a month before the outbreak of the apocalypse, the people above had already noticed the movement and quickly organized personnel to investigate the zombie virus.
But the virus spreads so quickly and is so toxic that people are caught off guard.
You don't even need to be bitten. As long as a little bit of the zombie's saliva and blood gets on the broken skin, you will become a zombie within two or three days.
What's even more deadly is that this thing has an incubation period of an indefinite period. There is no early, late, front, or middle stage. After the outbreak, the transformation from human to non-human can be completed in just a few minutes.
Most of the time, people don’t even know they are infected, so how can they be vigilant and prevent it?
Who would be on guard against relatives and friends who seem to be normal?
In order to deal with the zombie crisis, the authorities also lost a lot of people. In the end, they had no other choice and even thought of using nuclear weapons.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat: "In what critical situation would it be used?"
The man with a crew cut knew what he was worried about and didn't want to hit him, but when he met those clear eyes, he still told him the truth.
"In fact, the current situation in G City is very dangerous. It is the intersection of several large cities. Once there are more zombies, they will probably use some means to clean it up completely."
Wen Xin's lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but stand up in an instant.
People huddled in the house and kept silent. Maybe with good luck, they could escape the zombie tide.
But if you were to be bombed by a nuclear weapon, there would be no chance of survival.
We must inform others about this as soon as possible!
Scarface made him feel at ease.
"That method is not for fun. It will take at least half a month. Before that, the higher-ups will send people to organize the evacuation of the survivors."
As they spoke, they produced evidence, a gathering notice torn from another city.
The crew-haired man also said that in several cities where there are not many zombies, people are working hard to build survival bases that can withstand the zombie tide.
There are private ones and public ones, and they have been busy building their homes without even touching the ground.
Wen Xin will naturally find out more things about the base when he arrives in City A.
What can be ensured now is that humans can stubbornly deal with every joke played by God and will not be directly defeated by the zombie virus.
The buzz cut man took a sip of water and said casually, "In fact, the infected people are easy to deal with. The most deadly ones are the infected animals and plants."
"Oh yes, in order to distinguish them from the infected, those monsters are now collectively called mutants."
My companion rubbed his temple and said, "Who says it's not true? Not only do they have many tricks, but they also have self-awareness and can think. Their bodies are as hard as rocks, and some can even resist bullets. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"The only good thing about them is that if you get hurt by them you won't get infected and turn into a zombie."
From the tone of their voices, Wen Xin seemed to have suffered enough at the hands of the mutated animals and plants.
He secretly took note and remembered to be more cautious when facing mutants in the future.
Thinking about having to go through the same experience again, the man with the crew cut and the others took a few sips of water to drown their sorrows.
I didn't notice that the dumplings behind me froze instantly.
They carefully looked at Wen Xin's reaction, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual on the young man's face, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there was a word mentioned by the crew cut guy and his friends that made Canary very concerned.
"What is a nuclear weapon?"
Hearing the young man's question, Wen Xin was stunned for a moment.
Before he could answer, the scarred man next to him raised his clenched fists and imitated an explosion with great interest.
"That's a bang, and the whole city will be reduced to ashes!"
Canary's expression changed instantly, and so did the other dumplings.
The whole city was reduced to ashes, did that mean this house was also destroyed?
"It's okay." Wen Xin hugged them, "As long as we are together, anywhere will be home."
But the dumplings still felt very uncomfortable.
They encountered warmth and happiness here, and felt unprecedented peace in the following time. They really like this place very much.
Looking back at the prospects of the group's conversation, it seems that there are prerequisites for a comprehensive purge.
Canary suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "If there weren't so many zombies, would nuclear weapons not be needed?"
The crew-haired guy was stunned for a moment.
"Of course, who would blow up a city for fun?"
But how can we get rid of so many zombies at once without using extraordinary measures?
Even if we send armored vehicles equipped with artillery shells, it will take a lot of time and effort.
Many people will die during this period, so the "cost-effectiveness" must also be considered.
As they spoke, they looked at the young man whose face was filled with hope again, and couldn't help but show pity in their eyes.
They were totally unaware of their pitiful looks, which made the others laugh and feel disdainful.
More than 100,000 infected people is indeed not a small number, and it will take a lot of effort to clean them up.
But for mutants evolving into full form, there will be no other problems except that time is tight.
Thinking of this, the canary, purple squirrel, and scaled tree viper couldn't help but look at the sleeping little fox with envy.
Only the black group and the blue group frowned, feeling the frequent violent fluctuations coming from the little fox, with a hint of doubt and worry in their eyes.
For the next period of time, the man with a crew cut and others sat on the sofa to rest for a while.
There were beds originally, but they gave up after taking one look at them.
The bed was too soft and warm, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get up for a while after lying down.
As for Wen Xin himself, he took the assembly notice they had torn off from other cities to find the community leader, emphasizing the necessity for everyone to leave City G immediately.
Not long after, he came back with a relaxed look on his face.
This time there was a collective notice with an official stamp, so the persuasion process was smoother.
However, there are still some people who want to wait until the drone has completed its investigation of the situation in the west of the city.
They made up their minds and prepared to set out for investigation immediately.
If the zombie tide situation is confirmed and the situation is so critical that they have to flee, the residents will use the cars parked on the roadside to evacuate.
As a reward for borrowing the car, they would dig out the car owner's body, which had no head or only half of the head, and bury it.
Finally, after everything was ready, Wen Xin and others were ready to set off.
Before leaving, many people came out to see him off.
There is an old saying that true friendship is revealed in times of crisis.
Everyone present had received a helping hand or assistance to some extent, and although they did not express their gratitude, they always kept it in their hearts.
They saw the man with the crew cut.
After everyone had left, I couldn't help but say, "You guys are really different."
If it were other communities or other forces, they would have been in chaos because of various conflicts over survival resources. There would never have been such a happy time.
If the zombie tide had not forced the residents to leave, this community might have become a pure land with further development.
The scarred man also said, "It's quite magical."
If others think about it carefully, the zombies will take a detour after encountering this community. Isn't this the most miraculous of all?
At this time, the crewmates with the crew cut had no idea that the source of the miracle was right next to them. Unfortunately, this scene was only fleeting.
When Wen Xin joined hands with powerful mutants to create more miracles in the future, they suddenly realized what a magnificent and splendid history they had witnessed.
But that’s all for later.
The man with a crew cut opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, started the car and stepped on the accelerator. The SUV's engine made a dull humming sound and sped off towards G177 Avenue.
Wen Xin sat in the back seat, holding the black ball in his arms, who was closing his eyes and resting.
The scaled tree viper still has a deep resentment towards humans, as does the purple squirrel, so they simply hid in the cat bag and avoided dealing with Scarface and the others.
The blue group was soaking in the water leisurely.
The previous pot was too shallow, and Wen Xin was afraid that water would spill when riding in the car, so he made a new water container using a discarded tap bucket.
The water level that could submerge the blue ball was only one-third of the entire bucket, and it definitely could not spill out.
Fortunately, thanks to the little fox's previous hint, the crew-haired man and others did not raise any objections to "why the cat had to soak in water".
The little fox was held on the canary's lap.
At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on being alert to possible dangers around them.
No one noticed that the little fox twitched its eyelids twice in pain, and then closed its eyes, with a hint of scarlet blood in its pupils.
