"But where can we go if we leave the village?"
The village chief shook his head; he had never agreed to lead the villagers out to escape the disaster in the first place.
Zombies are now rampant all over the world, and no matter where you escape to, the outcome is pretty much the same.
Staying put and taking precautions is the wise thing to do. If you try to escape, who knows if you'll die on the way?
This is neither a natural disaster nor a man-made one, but a punishment sent down by an unforgiving God.
It's not so easy to avoid!
"Village chief, how about we go to the city and take a look?"
“Our village is right next to the city. Instead of waiting to die at home, why don’t we go to the city and see if there are any opportunities to survive?”
"If we find a shelter in the city, then we'll have a chance to survive!"
The village now consists of only eight people, including the village chief.
These eight people are all in excellent physical condition and are in their prime, between 20 and 40 years old.
Even the man called the village chief is only 45 years old this year.
Of these eight people, one couple is a married couple, and the rest are all men.
After much discussion, the village chief made the final decision.
“If this were before, I would never have agreed to let everyone leave our home and seek a living elsewhere!”
"But now, our last piece of land has been polluted, and we won't be able to grow any edible crops anymore!"
Originally, their village had several vegetable greenhouses, so when the apocalypse came, these greenhouses were protected and the plants inside were not directly contaminated.
Therefore, after the apocalypse, the survivors in the village lived better than people in other places.
Although I can't eat as much as I used to, at least I can stay alive and won't starve to death easily.
"Village chief, we'll all listen to you. Several vegetable greenhouses have already been contaminated!"
"Even if we stay here, we're just waiting to die. We might as well try to find a way out!"
One of the villagers said that even if they stayed in the village, they would eventually die.
Rather than that, it would be better to find a way to escape while they still have food.
This is a good opportunity to find out about the situation outside. If it's not as good as in the village, they can come back.
"That's what I think too. Let's go out and take a look first. After all, hiding here all the time isn't going to work!"
The village chief glanced at the building where he had lived for many years. It was a house he had built for his son, intending it for his son and future daughter-in-law to live in.
But who would have thought that when the apocalypse came, neither the son nor the daughter-in-law could escape it and were transformed into zombies.
In the end, only he and a few other villagers were left alive.
Once the villagers realized they wanted to leave, they focused on collecting supplies and packing their belongings.
More and more zombies are roaming in from outside, and the obstacles they've built are being destroyed more and more severely.
I don't know what method those zombies used, but it was as if they knew there were living people here, and new zombies kept coming.
In addition, their focus has always been on prevention, and their ability to kill is still somewhat lacking.
In the past, when there were many people in the village, they could be somewhat effective when everyone attacked together. However, as the battle dragged on, the villagers either died or fled. Now, only a few of them remain. Even if they charged out together, they wouldn't be enough to satisfy the zombies' hunger.
"Village chief, village chief, come out quickly!"
That day, one of the villagers banged on the village chief's house, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety.
"What happened? Did zombies break in?"
The village chief was about to take a break, but now that the food in his house was running out, he was so hungry that he had no strength left.
They had originally planned to find a chance to leave, so there were always people watching the village entrance. However, with the number of zombies increasing, they had no chance to break out.
The villagers are coming so urgently now, either because they have a chance to escape, or because zombies have broken in.
In the village chief's mind, the second possibility was much greater.
"Village chief, I heard the sound of vehicles driving by!"
"It's right on the national highway outside the village!"
"That's why I came over to tell you right away. The sound of a car means someone is driving by here!"
"And that car has already made two round trips. Village chief, should we ask them for help?"
Because of the sound of the car, many of the nearby zombies were attracted and ran away.
Even if they don't ask each other for help, this is the best opportunity for the villagers to escape.
So the villagers who had been standing guard at the village entrance immediately returned with the message to the village chief and the others.
"Let everyone pack up their things first, and let Erzhuzi check if the Dongfeng can still run normally!"
"Let's try asking them for help first. If that doesn't work, then we'll just drive right out!"
When the village chief arrived at the village entrance, he noticed that there were significantly fewer zombies there.
Except for a few zombies that were blocked by obstacles and unable to run away from the source of the sound, most of the zombies had already left.
"If that car could make a few more trips, then we could leave safely!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he instructed the villager on guard to stay there and have someone call out to any vehicles passing by their village entrance.
He went home, packed up the supplies he had collected, and placed them at the door.
Soon, Erzhuzi drove his Dongfeng brand truck and parked it in front of the village chief's house.
Almost all the survivors from the village were already sitting in the carriage, except for the one on guard duty.
The village chief carried the luggage from the ground onto the car, and two villagers jumped off the car to help him carry things up.
The people above also helped to connect and organize the items.
After everyone got into the car, the village chief sat in the passenger seat, while Erzhuzi drove to the village entrance.
When the villager on guard saw the car arrive, he quickly climbed into it.
His luggage had already been loaded onto the car by the villagers, who all wanted to take this opportunity to leave.
If they miss this opportunity, they may have to wait a long time, and if the zombies come back, it will be difficult for them to leave.
This was also Lin Xue's first time visiting this suburban area.
Looking at the menacing zombies, which seemed to be running around like worms, Lin Xue watched them excitedly. She found an open space, blasted a large crater with explosives, and then began to clear out the zombies!
When I was driving on the road in this area for the last time, I suddenly heard the sound of other vehicles driving in the distance.
"Host, your labor force has arrived!"
629 also took notice of the situation there and marked Lin Xue's location.
Lin Xue glanced at the few zombies behind her; there was no need to lead these little karami to the trap anymore.
So, he drove towards the direction from which the sound came.
Soon, the two cars met in the middle of the road. Both stopped and looked each other over.
When 629 said there were eight people on the bus, all of them strong laborers, Lin Xue smiled.
