Chapter 22



That evening.

Ruan Ning suffered from insomnia.

The gas station was not big and the conditions were simple. Everyone just laid cardboard on the ground, covered themselves with clothes or blankets, and slept against the wall.

I don’t know if it was Ruan Ning’s first time to spend the night outside and she was not used to it, but two or three hours passed and she still couldn’t fall asleep. In the end, she simply gave up and stared blankly out the window with her big eyes.

It's a bit ironic that the night sky after the apocalypse is far more beautiful than the one before the apocalypse.

The night is as dark as ink, the stars are bright and dotted. After the industrial waste gas that permeated the city all year round dissipated, the night sky of this city revealed its original most real and beautiful appearance.

However, Ruan Ning did not forget that after tonight, the zombies will experience their first evolution.

The zombies they encounter will become more difficult, and the chances of ordinary people surviving will become lower and lower.

Ruan Ning, who was always carefree, thought about this and became unusually melancholy for a long time. Then, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply put away the blanket, got up and walked out of the gas station.

There was a faint candlelight coming from their car outside. Those who were keeping watch tonight were there.

"Miss Ruan, why are you out?" The person on guard at this time today is Captain Xue Chen.

Ruan Ning looked at him and smiled shyly, his eyes sparkling, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Xue Chen thought it was a bit cold outside at night, and was afraid that Ruan Ning might get sick due to her weak body, so he opened the car door and motioned for her to come in and sit down.

Ruan Ning thanked him politely and sat in the passenger seat without any hesitation.

"Miss Ruan, you should get some fresh air here and then go in quickly. It's not safe outside." Xue Chen said in a deep voice, "I feel like the zombies tonight are more active than the past few days."

Unlike Ruan Ning who stayed in the apartment, the five members of Xue Chen's team took almost five days to reach Ruan Ning's community after receiving the rescue mission. They stayed outside for several nights and had a general understanding of the zombie situation at night.

Ruan Ning was surprised at his sharpness. After thinking for a while, he said tentatively: "Captain Xue, have you ever thought that zombies can also evolve? Just like you psychics can also upgrade your superpowers."

Now she is also a member of the team. The evolution of zombies is inevitable, and it will happen after midnight tonight. Ruan Ning wants to give Xue Chen a reminder so that he can realize the importance of this matter in advance and be prepared to deal with it. So that he will not be caught off guard by this matter like most people who are still in a confused period.

Xue Chen was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "I've thought about it."

But he didn't dare to think too much. It was difficult enough for humans to survive now. So many people died in just a few days around the world. He couldn't imagine what would happen if these zombies evolved and became more powerful.

After a brief chat, the two stayed quietly in the car for a long time without speaking.

"We will definitely be able to survive the apocalypse." These words were not only said to Xue Chen, but also what Ruan Ning wanted to say to himself.

Ruan Ning didn't want to die at all.

Even though she traveled to such a world with a harsh living environment, the thought that came to her mind most often was how to live well in this apocalyptic world.

Zombie evolution is not without benefits to humans. Only when humans are pushed to the extreme will they discover how great their potential is.

Nowadays, you can only see one person with superpowers among thousands or tens of thousands of people, but in the future, you may be able to see several people with superpowers among hundreds of people.

And soon, safe bases of all sizes will be established across the country. If everyone unites together, the chances of survival will be greater.
