He said listlessly, "Let's go, officer."
The three girls stood blankly at the door, watching the two figures slowly disappear.
They also carried their hopes.
If they don't come back, the three of them can only wait to die.
Lately, they've only had two small bowls of porridge a day, a portion that barely keeps them from starving.
The idea of walking several miles and getting food right under the noses of zombies is practically a pipe dream.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wu Ming and Guo Yong stared blankly at the only village in the vicinity, just a few dozen meters away.
Over there, dozens of zombies roamed around the village entrance.
"These zombies, are they never going to stop? Why are they all running to the village entrance?" Guo Yong muttered.
Wu Ming frowned and stared for a while before turning and walking in the opposite direction.
Guo Yong quickly caught up with Wu Ming and asked, "Why are you going this way? This area is all mountains, there isn't a single house here."
Wu Ming looked up at the faint smoke in the distance and said, "Qianqian said to go this way, cross a mountain, and there's a resort there."
Guo Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How far is it? How many zombies are there?"

Guo Yong said fiercely, "At worst, we'll find an opening, rush out, and there are just some zombies."
Wu Ming said, "You've been starving for so many days, do you even have the strength to run? And what about Qianqian and the other girls? How are they going to run?"
Guo Yong fell silent for a long while before giving a bitter smile and saying, "Why do you think we ran up this mountain back then?"
Wu Ming chuckled self-deprecatingly and remained silent.
They thought that escaping into the mountains would allow them to avoid hordes of zombies and access endless wild resources.
This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
Who could have imagined that the heavy rain that followed would be terrible acid rain, corroding everything?
