Chapter 9
The ground in the city, bombed three thousand years ago, was not flat, and the SUVs drove past it, causing severe shaking. Many viewers in the live broadcast room were almost dizzy from watching it, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that Shi Buyi hadn't turned on the sound of the live broadcast room yet, and he seemed to have forgotten that he even had a live broadcast room. He hadn't even glanced at it since he got up.
Many people had been holding back on the matter of Jian Xiaonan emitting yellow light all night, waiting to ask about it today, but they didn't expect to be left speechless.
"The city is almost destroyed." Shi Buxi leaned against the car window, his body swaying with the car. He looked outside and saw that there was not a single intact building, feeling a little sad.
"Three thousand years ago, this place was the capital of the Eastern Hemisphere, with a very large population. When the zombie outbreak occurred, this was the hardest hit area. After the living people were evacuated, it was bombarded with weapons for nearly two months. That's why there are relatively few zombies here." Jian Xiaonan thought that Shi Bushi was still young and might not be very clear about history, so he explained.
Shi Buyi heard this and opened the terminal. The audience thought he was happy because he remembered that he had a live broadcast room, but they saw him open the Blue Star map and carefully search for something.
The car quickly passed a weapons store. Seeing it was in ruins, everyone realized it was definitely not there. So they continued driving forward, from around ten in the morning until the afternoon, passing dozens of weapons stores, none of which were intact. Everyone agreed not to stop and headed straight for the Zhoufu Arms Depot, stopping only around ten in the evening to rest.
It was still drizzling, and the temperature was a bit chilly. Shi Buxi sneezed the moment he got out of the car, but the others acted as if nothing had happened. They quickly turned on their lights and looked around. They found few intact buildings. Weeds and small trees grew thickly, and the few houses that were barely standing were dark, making it difficult to see inside. Even without zombies, a house that had been vacant for three thousand years was uninhabitable, so everyone prepared to spend the night in the car.
"What are you doing?" Jian Xiaonan looked at Shi Buyi taking some bread, a bottle of water, a tent and a blanket from the car, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's still drizzling. What if it rains heavily tonight? Just sleep in the car!"
Shi Buxi shook his head quickly.
"It's not necessary to be so particular when you're out. Besides, if I had gotten married earlier, I would have been your grandmother. Are you afraid that I would take advantage of you?" Jian Xiaonan was amused. He thought Shi Buyi was afraid of the difference between men and women, so he wanted to tease him.
"I, I'll just sleep outside." Shi Buyi's face flushed instantly, and he hugged the blanket tightly, stuttering a little. In addition to the difference between men and women, his sleeping posture was not very good. He liked to hug something, which was absolutely not allowed. Then, pointing to the corridor of a building, he said, "There is a place inside. Even if it rains heavily, you won't get wet."
"Okay! If it's cold at night, come back and knock on the door. I'll open the car door for you at any time." Jian Xiaonan winked at Shi Buxi.
Shi Buxi responded and carried the tent down to the corridor. Because it had rained heavily the previous night and was windy, the ground was relatively clean, though a little damp. Shi Buxi first spread out the tent and then placed his pillow. He only had one blanket, and the ground was very cold, so he folded the quilt over himself, spread it on the ground, and wrapped it around himself. Luckily, the blanket was large, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Because it was cold, Shi Buxi wrapped himself in a blanket and sat at the tent entrance, taking out some bread. His hands unconsciously tore through the bag, his eyes fixed on the other contestants who were not far away, chewing their rations by the car while looking at maps. Most of them were wearing short-sleeved shirts and didn't seem to feel the cold at all.
Shi Buxi looked down at the terminal, 13 degrees.
"Didn't the program team say before that there were supplies? Doesn't this supply include clothes?" Shi Buyi murmured, and when he looked up, he saw a camera appear in front of the tent.
Shi Buxi only then remembered this thing, so he opened the terminal control page, put out the holographic screen, and turned on the sound.
【Woo woo, finally I’m not mute anymore. 】
[I don't mind you turning off the sound, but could you please not turn off the holographic projection screens?]
[Newbie, let me tell you, I envy Shi Buxi for riding in the same car with Sister Nan.]
[Pfft, I'm talking to myself again. It's only 13 degrees. Most people wouldn't feel cold, right?]
[Calling the production crew, where are your thick clothes?]
Some viewers noticed Shi Buxi's mumbling and couldn't help but laugh. Since the great catastrophe three thousand years ago, although some people haven't awakened their spiritual powers, the bodies of ordinary people have also evolved. This low temperature is nothing.
"It's cold." Shi Buyi said, then looked towards the camera, as if he could see the director's studio through the camera, and said, "Supplies, clothes."
A031 Director: ..., their program team didn't prepare this thing at all. Firstly, they don't forbid contestants to bring their own clothes, and secondly, it's only 13 degrees, which is not cold at all.
Shi Buxi looked at the camera and ate bread silently. He ate almost five pieces before stopping.
"Even a strong man like Feng Shen would be full after eating three loaves of bread this big. How did you manage to cram five into your loaf?"
[I really want to touch Xiaoxixi's belly to see if it's bloated, hehe.]
"You are so disgusting! How dare you touch a child's belly? I am different. I just want him to lift it up and see if the child is full."
Shi Buxi: Are all the friends down the mountain so straightforward?
After Shi Buxi finished eating the bread, he began to rinse his mouth and wash his face. Since he didn't see any supply points along the way, he didn't dare to use too much water and only used half a bottle to finish.
[It's so miserable. It seems like I can't even take a shower.]
[Surviving the apocalypse, and washing up. ]
[Pfft, do they look like they're trying to survive the apocalypse? Those documentaries back then were full of zombies, everywhere you looked.]
[After leaving the Zhoufu Center, they were no longer so idle.]
While listening to everyone's conversation, Shi Buxi packed up his things, lay back in the tent, and quickly fell asleep.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the still-open tent door, then at the live broadcast projection screen and sound that were not closed...
【Hahaha, tonight...】
[Shh, shut up, you're waking him up, gotta turn it off.]
The live broadcast room, which had only a few thousand people, suddenly fell silent.
Someone silently typed a comment: [Did we forget to ask him about the talisman? ]
Everyone: ...
Compared to the quietness here at Shi Bushi, it was very lively over there at Jian Xiaonan's. The live broadcast room with nearly billions of people was full of her fans, all asking her about the yellow light emanating from her body.
"It was indeed Xiaoxi's talisman that saved me this time, otherwise I would definitely have been injured." After Jian Xiaonan finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately launched a crazy barrage of comments, and the head connected to the "simultaneous interpretation" kept ringing with voices, so dense and crowded that it made people dizzy.
Jian Xiaonan thought of Shi Buyi's live broadcast room playing out loud and thought that this was a good idea. So he tapped his fingers on the terminal a few times, changed the program, and said, "It's too late tonight. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned off the sound in the live broadcast room and the full-screen projection screen.
audience:……
As everyone fell asleep, Tian Lou silently walked to the porch, holding his tent, five meters away from Shi Buxi's tent. Their group only had two cars: Cheng Sina, a girl, took one, while Cheng Zijin and another team member took the other. He had no choice but to sleep outside.
In the middle of the night, it rained heavily in the city again, accompanied by lightning and thunder. With the experience of last night, many people turned on the Do Not Disturb mode in their cars. The car became a completely enclosed space, and the sound of rain outside could no longer be heard.
Shi Buxi had lived in the mountains since he was a child and was accustomed to the sound of heavy rain. He was not affected by the rain. However, the stench of rotting corpses that made him uncomfortable woke him up from his dream.
Shi Buxi, who usually sleeps ten hours a day, only slept six or seven hours yesterday. He was sleep-deprived to begin with and thought he could go to bed early today, but he was woken up again. His morning grumpiness came up and even heavy rain couldn't extinguish it.
Because Shi Buxi did not close the tent door, he had been "peeking" at his wild sleeping posture. The audience laughed and saw him wake up with a wrinkled face and was still angry, which made them laugh.
[Pfft, your little face looks aggrieved. Did someone bully you in your dream?]
【Ahhh, so cute, I want to pinch it.】
[What a contrast! Where's that person who just spun 360 degrees in a wild sleeping position? She's actually so cute, hahaha!]
【Why did you wake up? 】
"There's corpse energy." Shi Buyi pursed his lips, frowned, and looked like he wanted to hit someone.
[Yesterday they said there was corpse qi, and tonight there were zombies. Holy shit, where are they?]
Upon hearing this, many viewers hurriedly looked around, only to see an endless curtain of rain beneath a dark blue sky, with nothing in sight...
【Ahhh, the zombies are out again. 】
【Here they come, here they come, there are three of them.】
[Fuck, they're coming in a group!]
"No, aren't zombies irrational? Why do they choose the middle of the night?"
On a rainy night, some spectators quickly noticed that three black figures appeared not far away. They were wearing cloaks and were walking towards the contestants step by step.
[Oh shit, did they lock all the cars?]
【Hide, hide inside the tent and don't come out.】
[How is that possible? This tent can't hold up.]
【Calling staff.】
【Ahhh, Xiao Xixi, run! 】
[Wow, is my Civilian Counterattack Record going offline? ]
The three figures became clearer and clearer, and the audience's eyes met those pale faces, and their hair stood on end instantly.
At this time, the staff in the dark also became alert, ready to wait for Shi Buyi to send out electromagnetic waves and then go to the rescue. However, they did not expect that Shi Buyi, who came out of the tent, still looked sleepy and muttered something. He took off the distress bracelet and put it in the tent.
"Ah!"
Shi Buxi shivered from the cold and sneezed. Looking up, he bumped into a pale face, very close to him.
The audience was stunned by the zombie's sudden approach. They opened their mouths to yell at Shi Buxi to run, but no sound came out. Then, they saw the worried young man give the zombie in front of him a big smile, his eyes pure and serious, and said, "Tomorrow, can you drive for me?"
Audience: ...So, were you serious about what you said before?
