The sun was scorching, scorching every corner of the city, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.
The chaotic streets were a scene of devastation. Broken walls and broken walls were everywhere, and skeletons could be seen everywhere. A shadow flashed across the ground...
Inside a building on the side of the street, the curtains were tightly drawn. A figure peered through the gap in the curtains, his eyes fixed intently on the movements outside...
"Sister Qingning, what's going on..." A cautious voice came from behind...
Ye Qingning slowly lowered a corner of the curtain and looked back at the girl behind her.
She was wearing casual clothes with cartoon patterns on them. Her long, shiny black hair was tied into two simple low ponytails at the back. A few strands of hair casually fell on her forehead. Her little face was round and very cute...
Ye Qingning slowly shook her head and said, "The monster is still there..."
A few months ago, a strange fog covered the whole country. A lot of people died and the streets were littered with corpses.
After that, many strange creatures appeared.
They are extremely ferocious, constantly devouring humans and other creatures. The remaining people can only linger in this purgatory-like environment...
Later, it was reported that these creatures were the result of genetic mutation.
Those who survived were able to adapt to the medicinal ingredients in the fog, which allowed a small number of humans to gain some powerful powers.
The higher your adaptability to the potion, the greater your power will grow...
However, compared to those already wild creatures, humans' strength is simply not enough to compete with them...
Every day, a large number of humans die at the hands of those creatures. The survivors live in fear every day, trying every possible way to survive...
"Sister Qing Ning..."
Ye Qingning looked at the girl crying softly beside the bed, and walked forward to hug her with some heartache, comforting her: "It's okay, Xinxin, we will definitely survive..."
Ye Qingning and Wang Keyin have been good friends since childhood and are like sisters in their daily lives.
After the apocalypse, both of their families no longer existed, leaving them to depend on each other.
They are also full of confusion and fear about what the future will be like, but at the moment, the strong-willed Ye Qingning is determined to protect Ke Xin, and the two must survive together!
Bang! ——
There was a soft knock on the door...
Wang Kexin in his arms stopped crying and wiped away her tears. Ye Qingning stood up and opened the door...
A burly man with a crew cut stood outside the door. Seeing Ye Qingning open the door, he politely said, "Miss Ye, let's come out and discuss this together..."
The man with a crew cut is named Wang Yongjie, a veteran who originally worked in Jiangcheng with his comrades.
After the doomsday came, he and his comrades escaped death and met Ye Qingning and others.
Led by him and his comrades, they hid in this building and survived for a while, but now they were running out of food...
Ye Qingning nodded and took Wang Keyin out of the room. They came to the living room. Including the three of them, there were eight people in the room.
After spending some time together, everyone became familiar with each other.
Among the eight people, in addition to Ye Qingning and Wang Keyin, Wang Yongjie and his comrades, there was also a family of three and a young man.
Fortunately, everyone's personality is not bad, and they get along well during this period of survival in the apocalypse...
Compared to other survival teams, the intrigue, backstabbing, and bullying of the weak are already common in this doomsday world...
Some survivors didn't die at the hands of monsters, but died at the hands of their own compatriots...
In the living room, after seeing several people sitting down, Wang Yongjie sorted out his thoughts and said, "We only have enough food for two days. We must find a way to get some food..."
Wang Yongjie's heavy words silenced the people in the living room. Every time they went out, it meant the risk of death.
For a small team, if they suffer unexpected casualties, it will be a big blow to them.
During this period of time, everyone still trusts each other.
Wang Yongjie and his comrade Lao Liu also took this into consideration and did not accept more people to avoid confusion and accidents in the team...
"Lao Liu and I have been observing the area these past two days. Almost all the food options in our area have been looted. We can only look further afield. There's a department store about two kilometers away that has plenty of supplies..."
Upon hearing this, some light appeared in the eyes of the people in the living room, but their faces were still full of worry.
Because those terrifying creatures are the real problem, but even so, the few of them did not give up...
Wang Yongjie continued, "The personnel arrangements remain the same. Qing Ning, Xiao Zhu, the uncle, and I will go, and Lao Liu will stay behind to look after the house..."
In the team, Wang Yongjie, Ye Qingning, Lao Liu, and the young man Xiao Zhu all have a high adaptability to potions, and their bodies are much stronger than normal people.
Leaving Lao Liu to look after the rear, if the three of them plus the middle-aged uncle go, the success rate and safety rate will be higher...
The middle-aged man holding the little girl nodded and asked, "When do we leave?"
Although his body was not as strong as Wang Yongjie and the others, he understood that he could not just stay in the team waiting for food.
Besides, his wife and daughter are still in the team, so he has to do his bit for them...
"Does anyone else have any ideas for tomorrow morning?" Wang Yongjie looked at the young men in the team.
"I'm fine, Brother Jie." The young man nodded.
Wang Yongjie turned to look at Ye Qingning and saw her nod.
"Then it's settled."
"etc……"
At this time, Wang Keyin next to Ye Qingning suddenly raised her hand and spoke.
"I want to go too."
This was a decision Wang Keyin made after careful consideration. She wanted to go with Sister Qingning. She didn't want to hide behind others all her life.
Some things must be faced. Only in this way can we grow and protect Sister Qing Ning in this apocalypse...
Ye Qingning wanted to stop her, but seeing the other person's determined eyes, she understood and could only sigh...
Seeing that Ye Qingning had no objection, Wang Yongjie also agreed to let Wang Kexin join him. This would help the team members grow, which would also be a good thing for the team...
The middle-aged woman next to the uncle took her husband's arm and said worriedly: "Husband...be careful..."
She also wanted to follow her husband, but their daughter was only seven or eight years old and still needed her to take care of her...
Old Liu in the living room also stood up and walked over to Wang Yongjie, bumped fists with him, and said, "Be careful..."
"Well, don't worry..."
"Then everyone go back and pack your equipment and set off tomorrow."
As night falls, the bright lights of the city have long disappeared.
The darkness was as black as ink, drowning everything. The tall buildings looked eerie and terrifying in the night, like huge monsters standing silently.
Man-eating monsters hide in the shadows of the streets, and creepy gnawing sounds can be heard from time to time.
Endless darkness enveloped the city, without a trace of life.
