Chapter 150 Some people don't even understand how they died; they're beyond saving.
When Lin Muyan and the others arrived, the room was already filled with the smell of blood.
The little boy huddled helplessly in the corner, his eyes unfocused, clearly quite frightened.
The special forces soldiers handling the scene, their eyes red, approached Xiao Li, their brothers behind them covered with white sheets.
"Captain, Ah Zhu is gone. When we arrived, he had already begun to turn into a zombie and started attacking us indiscriminately. In the end..."
He could only deliver one bullet to the head, allowing his teammate to preserve his dignity in the end.
Xiao Li looked at his comrade covered by a white sheet with a heavy heart. His fist clenched and unclenched at his side, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.
It was his fault that he sent Ah Zhu to investigate alone; Ah Zhu shouldn't have died.
Although Lin Muyan was also heartbroken, perhaps because she had already mentally prepared herself for such things to happen frequently in the apocalypse, she remained relatively rational. After briefly inquiring about the situation, she knelt down in front of the little boy.
The little boy huddled in the dirty, damp quilt, his eyes swollen from crying, and his already frostbitten cheeks began to fester from the tears, but he remained unmoved.
Lin Muyan felt a pang of pity. She heard from other special forces soldiers that his mother must have sensed that she was turning into a zombie, so she locked herself in the toilet to protect her only child.
But what did the little boy know about zombies?
He only knew that his mother was in the toilet for a long time and even made suppressed roars, so he assumed that his mother was sick.
After disposing of the body, Xiao Li approached Lin Muyan and the little boy, and said sorrowfully:
"I'll take the child back and settle her in properly, Miss Lin. We're preparing to retreat. Would you like to come with us?"
Lin Muyan waved her hand: "You guys go first, don't worry about me. If you encounter any dangerous missions that you can't handle later, you can contact me. I will definitely help you if I can spare the time."
After this incident, Xiao Li realized that if he led the team alone, there would be even greater casualties.
Considering today's outcome, the sacrifice of one comrade is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.
He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if he hadn't met Lin Muyan.
The mutated beasts were far more terrifying than he had imagined; his entire army might be wiped out.
The same goes for zombies. That day in the hospital, I clearly thought the zombies wouldn't be difficult to deal with.
However, in real emergencies, zombies can still easily take human lives.
Therefore, Xiao Li did not refuse when Lin Muyan said it was his duty.
Soon, the Hidden Dragon team left with the surviving little boy.
Lin Muyan watched them leave, then turned and headed towards the coordinates she was going to.
At this moment, some of the bolder people on both sides of the street opened their windows and looked out.
There was a lot of noise here just now; it's impossible for the nearby residents not to have heard it.
They were very uneasy when they saw that the military personnel had all left.
Someone spotted Lin Muyan walking alone in the snow and couldn't help but wave to her.
"Hey, are you out of your mind? Find somewhere to keep warm. If you walk outside like this, you'll freeze to death in less than half an hour."
Some people thought more deeply, believing that since this woman dared to wander around outside alone, she must have some kind of backing, and might be with those military personnel who had just left, and had designs on Lin Muyan.
“Beautiful lady, you must have a very special background, right? Could you pull some strings and let my whole family receive government relief? My grandson just got into Peking University for graduate studies; he’s a top talent.”
“My uncle is an official, and I also need to apply for state relief. Miss, could you help us contact those officers who just left?”
"The officials said they would distribute supplies, but are they lying to us ordinary people? Why hasn't anyone come to deliver them yet?"
"..."
More and more people on both sides of the street opened their windows and started chattering at Lin Muyan.
The cold wind was blowing hard, and they were still cursing and swearing as they closed the windows and waited for Lin Muyan's response.
Only a very few people cared whether Lin Muyan would freeze to death, and only a handful of households invited her into their homes to warm up.
Lin Muyan twitched her lips, thinking to herself, "There's no shortage of petty people wherever you go."
The grandson is a high-level talent, and the uncle is an official; it really gives you the feeling that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit.
The problem is that the future will not belong to graduate students from Beijing, nor will it be possible to achieve anything simply by becoming an official; one must have a strong fist to succeed.
Lin Muyan knew that once the power structure was reshuffled in the apocalypse, some outdated social customs would still reappear.
But before that, whoever you are, show us your true skills first.
Faced with those arrogant voices, Lin Muyan just wanted to give them a look that said "you'd better watch out," but then she thought better of it. She was in a hurry to dig for treasure, and wasting her breath on these people would only deplete her luck.
Seeing Lin Muyan walk away without looking back, everyone became anxious, but with the snow and ice outside, no one dared to come down and stop her.
They weren't sure who this person was, and if they came down rashly and caught a chill, they wouldn't be able to find a hospital for treatment.
Lin Muyan quickened her pace, finally finding some peace and quiet.
In her opinion, some people are a waste of resources just by living, and it would be better for them to rest in peace early.
At a time like this, they're still so arrogant, taking other people's help and the country's aid for granted.
Even the comments section was too much to bear.
Some people deserve to never amount to anything; they're always so selfish and clueless.
There's no way around it; every dynasty has its share of ignorant people. If they still don't understand the rules of survival in the apocalypse, then it can only be said that they don't even understand how to die.
[A cannibalistic era is coming. Everyone is struggling enough to survive, let alone meddle in other people's business. How can those people have the audacity to say such things? Shouldn't the government screen supplies a little when distributing them? Some people are beyond saving.]
At this moment, Lin Muyan had already entered a courtyard. This courtyard was somewhat similar to their Lin family's, only it was more dilapidated than the one in the urban village.
The chicken coop next to it was now empty of chickens, and there was another room that looked like a kitchen, which was semi-open and very dilapidated.
The makeshift open space under the corrugated iron roof was piled high with all sorts of garbage, leading Lin Muyan to guess that the homeowner made a living by scavenging.
There was also a single low house made of mud tiles, which should be the living room.
At this moment, in the living room, an old woman and a young girl were snuggling together. The old woman held her granddaughter tightly in her arms and looked warily into the yard through the crack in the window.
"Grandma, that woman doesn't look like a bad person. Is she lost and can't find her way home, so she came to our yard looking for food?"
The little girl's face was an unnatural pale bluish-white, as if she had caught a severe cold, or was anemic and malnourished.
The old woman looked wary and gently covered her granddaughter's mouth.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. Grandma will go out and take a look. You hide in the little cellar. I won't let you out unless Grandma calls you."
"..."
In the courtyard, Lin Muyan clearly heard the conversation between the grandmother and grandson inside the house and couldn't help but sigh.
Does she look like someone who robs and plunders?
She never expected that the coordinates would be in that chicken coop; the coordinates given by the locator were getting stranger and stranger.
