Chapter 134 Dirty Deals in the Apocalypse
Lin Muyan threw the potato chips and they bounced up. She grabbed her phone and ran outside.
Since it wasn't a zombie dug out with a golden shovel, she needed to check if the animal trap was still working.
In addition, she remembered that Su Yun lived in the North District. Su Yun was one of the few friends she was willing to have a deep friendship with.
Su Yun said she would disappear for a while after graduation, but she didn't say what she would do. We still can't get in touch with her.
The North District Central Hospital was some distance from the villa on the hillside, and the snow outside was getting thicker and thicker, so driving there would be a bit of a delay. She immediately released Ah Bao.
Her movements were swift, and as soon as Ah Bao appeared, he carried her and leaped up, disappearing from the spot, so no one noticed.
However, the leopard's striking fur markings stood out against the white snow, and despite its agile and swift movements, it was always easy for someone to spot it.
"Mommy, Mommy, I saw a huge cat running outside, bigger than the tiger at the zoo!"
"Waaaaah, my baby is so hungry he's delirious, his eyesight is failing."
"Holy crap, what just flew by like that?"
"Wow, what a huge leopard! Hmm? No, no, it's a bear... no, it's... wait, why is there someone sitting on it?"
"..."
Leopard leaped across walls and rooftops, sometimes even flashing past the huge glass windows of buildings. Some lucky people caught a glimpse of it and were all shocked, their eyes wide with astonishment.
But by the time they realized what was happening and tried to take out their phones to capture the shocking scene, Ah Bao had already run far away.
At the North District Central Hospital, security was tight, with more than a dozen imposing figures armed with live ammunition standing solemnly at the main entrance.
They were on high alert, their gazes resolute, as if even a fly flying by would be instantly killed.
Lin Muyan swallowed hard, surprised that the military had arrived so quickly and taken control of the situation.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. On the way here, she got some more information from Fu Sinian, who was well-informed.
Inside the North District Central Hospital, many people have not yet evacuated.
The corpses in the morgue would silently turn into zombies, first biting several staff members, and infection would happen in no time.
It is said that the zombies that have turned from corpses are very weak, walking unsteadily and moving slowly, even weaker than the zombies that Lin Muyan dug up last time.
But those few staff members were unlucky; they never even considered that possibility.
Once you're caught by a zombie, it's very difficult to break free. Even if your skin is just scratched by a zombie, the probability of infection is very high.
The infected staff members also turned into zombies within a few breaths.
These infected zombies, however, possessed astonishing mobility; their running speed was close to that of a normal person, and their senses were much sharper.
According to Lin Muyan's understanding, it means that the zombies are made from living people who have become zombies, and their joints and other parts are still very flexible. However, the zombies are made from dead people who have become zombies without any signs of life, and their bodies are already stiff or decayed.
To put it simply, the fresher the zombie, the more powerful it is; zombies also come in different ages.
A small wave of zombies appeared in the hospital, and they started harming other people after smelling the odor.
When Fu Ssu-nien told her this news, the entire hospital had already been infected with nearly a hundred zombies.
This number is certainly still increasing.
Lin Muyan stared at the soldiers, not daring to go in rashly.
Now that the military has arrived, this place should be under control. Since she needs to hide herself, she can't just show up so openly.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan turned and left, intending to contact Su Yun first and then come back later to see if she could pick up a zombie.
However, Lin Muyan couldn't get in touch with Su Yun. She remembered that she had been to Su Yun's rented house before, so she followed her memory to find it.
The boots crunched and groaned as they stepped on the soft snow.
The northern part of the city is outside the Fifth Ring Road, and the residential areas are very concentrated. Su Yun's rental house is in a resettlement area, which is very densely populated and was the first to lose power. It was eerily quiet all the way there.
Lin Muyan suddenly realized that perhaps Su Yun's phone had run out of battery, which was why she couldn't contact her.
The two were from completely different worlds; they met by chance during a charity event at an orphanage.
Su Yun is an orphan who works hard in this big city to earn money so as to improve the lives of the children in the welfare home.
Lin Muyan felt it was a bit inappropriate for such a kind and resolute girl to even think of coming to find her now.
That's just how Su Yun is; she's often unreachable and never asks for help, which has led Lin Muyan to get used to not being able to contact her.
Lin Muyan decisively stepped into the old resettlement house.
A faint stench of decay permeated the air; it was the smell of death.
There are simply too many residents in this area, putting a lot of pressure on the electricity supply. Coupled with a series of problems such as old wiring, the power has been cut off for a long time.
The high temperatures of the past few days would have been unbearable without air conditioning.
Lin Muyan also knew that this stench represented the passing of countless lives.
Her heart suddenly raced, and worry and fear welled up inside her.
Su Yun lives in a shared apartment. What if her roommates have malicious intentions and want something for a meal? Then Su Yun...
Lin Muyan dared not think any further and quickened her pace.
The stairwell was filthy; thankfully it was extremely cold, otherwise it would have been impossible to step inside.
Thinking back to the first time she visited the Lin family in the urban village, she felt a slight sense of disgust and wanted to slap herself.
Some people live in such an environment every day, working hard to make a living, while she used to think that such an environment was bad and not fit for human habitation.
She deserves to die.
Following my memory, I arrived at Su Yun's house. The front door was tightly closed, and the side window was covered with thick newspapers, perhaps for insulation, so I couldn't see what was inside.
Lin Muyan is now very strong, and she tried to push the door open with brute force.
Perhaps the noise was a bit too loud and startled the people inside.
"Who?" A loud shout rang out, and Lin Muyan's heart skipped a beat. It was a rough male voice.
The doorknob next door seemed to turn slightly, but the door didn't open, and Lin Muyan ignored it.
Just then, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a stench hit us.
At the same time, three fierce-looking men appeared in front of Lin Muyan, their eyes fixed on her with undisguised bestiality.
"Hey pretty girl, out of food? Planning to trade with your brother for supplies? Same as always, treat us well and I'll give you a bucket of instant noodles."
Another bald, sleazy-looking man licked his lips and added:
"You're quite attractive. I can give you an extra sausage. Don't hesitate, come in. There might be other people coming to trade later."
Lin Muyan couldn't believe what she was hearing. Suppressing her anger and nausea, she instantly understood.
Yes, this is the end of the world. Beasts will only become more beastly, and the bad side of human nature will be magnified infinitely.
In the future, such sinful transactions will only increase, and may even be openly traded with prices clearly marked.
She covered her mouth and nose, suppressing the urge to vomit, and tried to remain calm, staring coldly at them.
"Where is Su Yun, who used to live here?"
