Chapter 39: Dead Rising
They returned to the house, sat down in their original seats, added more firewood, and the fire burned more vigorously.
The windows in the house were blocked with all kinds of debris.
Qi Yuanchuan, who was sitting opposite, looked over and threw something over. Ye Li caught it and saw that it was a tomato.
"Eat something. You were still sleeping when we were eating."
"Thank you," Ye Li was still angry about Qi Yuanchuan knocking him out without permission.
But he suddenly threw food over, which seemed a bit unfair, and Ye Li's anger immediately subsided a little.
The tomatoes were very small and poorly grown, and Ye Li ate them in two bites.
At this time, Qi Yuanchuan took out another thing wrapped in paper. This time he didn't throw it away directly, but handed it over.
"This is dried shredded squid. If you're still not full, try some."
Ye Li took it, opened it, and the aroma of shredded squid filled her nose. She grabbed it with her hands and started eating it.
Since she left the house, she had only eaten a small cucumber and a small tomato given by Wu Qiaoer, and now she was starving.
Ye Li was eating shredded squid while looking at Qi Yuanchuan, and suddenly felt that his bearded face looked more and more kind.
The breath of anger that she had been holding in her heart also disappeared without a trace.
After eating and drinking, Ye Li lay on the mat to rest. Although it was a bit cold at night, there was a fire burning next to him, so it was okay not to cover himself with a blanket.
Ye Li was worried about the child, and since he had been unconscious before, he had probably slept too much, so he kept his eyes open until dawn.
After dawn, Qi Yuanchuan and his team members immediately got up and set off without any delay, keeping their promise.
Everyone ate something to fill their stomachs while walking into the city.
After half an hour, we arrived outside the city.
Because the buildings in the city are tall, they block the view and make it impossible to detect the whereabouts of the zombies.
It is impossible to determine whether the zombies left the city along the main road or wandered around the urban area.
"Which building are you going to?" Qi Yuanchuan observed the situation in the city with a telescope.
Ye Li looked in the direction of the building and pointed to Qi Yuanchuan: "See it? It's that building, the one with the broken billboard on the roof."
Qi Yuanchuan moved his position and observed the building that Ye Li pointed at through the telescope. Then he took away the telescope and said, "Let's go. We didn't see any zombies through the telescope. Maybe they have left the city. But everyone should still be careful."
"Yes, Captain." The three team members responded.
Qi Yuanchuan took the lead, Ye Li walked in the middle of the team, and everyone stepped into the city together.
It was early morning, the sun was shining brightly, birds were flying and singing over the city, the sun shone on the broken glass windows of the tall buildings, and the refracted light was enough to wash away the gloom of the entire city.
"Actually, why didn't we choose to live in the city? There are so many tall buildings here, it's safer." Team member A said.
"Haha..." Team member B immediately scoffed. "Safe? Look, which city isn't full of zombies? And you live in such a high-rise building? What can you grow? It's far from the beach. It takes two hours to go there to pick up seafood. If you get surrounded by zombies, you'll starve to death!"
Home was right in front of him. Ye Li was so excited that he walked much faster.
She had no intention of listening to Team A and Team B's idle chat.
"Don't move!" Suddenly, Qi Yuanchuan gestured for everyone to stop.
Ye Li then stopped and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong!" Qi Yuanchuan pointed to the ruins beside him. Everyone immediately understood what he meant and hid inside.
In just a short while, a large wave of zombies suddenly appeared before them, filling the street where they had just stood.
Although Ye Li has trained himself to be very brave over the years, he was still frightened when he saw so many zombies.
She covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and scream out loud.
Qi Yuanchuan and others also did not move, not daring to make any noise at all.
In such a situation, the slightest sound is enough to attract the zombies' attention and take their lives.
