Chapter 254 People's hearts are hidden behind their bellies



At this moment, several survivors were sitting on the top floor, gazing at the zombies in the distance.

They were all residents who had been relocated here.

There were three men and two women, and one woman had already jumped.

The men were ordinary office workers, all in their late thirties. They had originally lived in a cramped three-bedroom apartment in the first phase of the complex, but seeking "excitement," they went to the rooftop, only to be unexpectedly startled by the sudden appearance of zombies.

The woman was one of the few Shen Jing had met before.

Actually, they weren't very afraid at first.

I've only ever seen zombies in movies, and even in short videos, they don't feel very real, like seeing flowers in a dream.

Standing on the rooftop, looking at the dense horde of zombies closing in from afar, the group nearly wet themselves in fear. In reality, there were far more zombies than the other residents had imagined; they were simply hidden by trees due to the height difference.

Li Keke was trembling all over, and she nervously grabbed the person next to her and said, "Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Leave? Where do you think is safe?" Zhang Ken looked at her mockingly. "You were begging us to retrieve the bodies just now. Why don't you jump down from here too, and I'll retrieve them for you?"

The man who picked up the corpse had ulterior motives, but he didn't say it at the time.

Sun Zheng said worriedly, "Coco is right. Staying here is just asking to be surrounded and slaughtered by zombies!"

Zhang Ken disagreed: "Once they've eaten their fill, they'll naturally disperse. Have you ever heard of zombies staying in one place without moving?"

Meng Yan agreed, because she didn't dare to go downstairs either.

Chen Feng shook his head: "Although several iron gates have been reinforced on the roof, it's hard to guarantee that the zombies won't just rush up to the roof."

They made no mention of the body disposal that had just taken place.

Actually, the three men probably understood each other without saying a word.

Only Li Keke and Meng Yan remained completely unaware.

Zhang Ken pointed to the houses downstairs where residents had moved in and said fiercely, "Just wait, the zombies only eat people, they won't compete with us for supplies!"

"Yes! Yes! Just wait!"

Chen Feng and Sun Zheng immediately looked down, both revealing greedy expressions.

They all belong to them. The people below are all dead, so they can slowly clean up the bodies later!

In harsh environments, human nature cannot be easily fathomed.

People's hearts are unfathomable, and evil spirits may be lurking within.

Shen Jing also looked up at the rooftop through the curtains.

However, her current thought is to take out a thermometer and measure it.

"40 degrees..."

Shen Jing was right.

Zombies are here, and so is the extreme heat!

The recent acid rain has not actually indicated a significant warming trend.

But after the rain stopped, the temperature changed every day. Shen Jing looked at the temperature recorded in her notebook: "30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees... then it may continue to rise tomorrow."

She had put an air conditioner fan in the room, but it still felt like a sauna.

She quickly developed a dry mouth and throat, so Shen Jing hurriedly replenished her fluids.

Although there is no shortage of water, being surrounded by zombies outside makes me feel like I'll be stuck here for a long time.

This sense of urgency can only be understood by those who have experienced it!

The bathroom in the house had already been sealed off, otherwise the stench would probably have spread into her apartment. Other people don't have water, so they won't flush the toilet every day, and besides, the fermentation at such high temperatures must have been incredibly unpleasant!

Shen Jing believed that before long, more people would die from the heat than from the mutated zombies!

If we don't save ourselves, the entire neighborhood will be doomed!

Moreover, Shen Jing knew even better that the people living here couldn't even guarantee basic living facilities.

It would be better to hide in the kindergarten...

Shen Jing hesitated for a moment, then found a piece of curtain fabric in her space and wrote on it: "High temperature warning, the temperature may continue to rise in the future. Does anyone have any Huoxiang Zhengqi Water?"

She hung the white curtains on the window.

Whether she sees it or not is up to fate; anyway, she only said that her family has nothing.

Everyone is minding their own business these days; sticking your neck out will only make you a target.

After finishing all this, Shen Jing returned to the space, where the temperature remained constant, making her so comfortable that she immediately felt drowsy.

When Shen Jing woke up again, it was already past five in the afternoon.

The distant sun is still baking the earth.

She stood blankly in front of the window, momentarily unable to tell what day it was.

It was just hot; the temperature of the glass window was probably hot enough to fry an egg.

Shen Jing lifted one side of the curtain with her fingertips, intending to observe the zombies in the distance, but was suddenly startled by a voice outside the door: "Has she died of heatstroke? Then we can just move into her house?"

"This door is really a good door; it proves it was repaired before the apocalypse!"

"Could it be the original owner of the unfinished building?"

"Wouldn't it be much more comfortable for us to live inside? At least this door looks reliable!"

The sounds from outside the door were made no attempt to conceal themselves.

It seems everyone just considers Shen Jing to be dead.

To break down Shen Jing's door, those people probably used every trick in the book. If Shen Jing hadn't been in the spatial dimension, they would have really kept her from having a moment's peace.

However, this thought also reminded Shen Jing.

In space, you can easily overlook many potential dangers.

To be honest, my earlier reminder suddenly seemed like I was being a saint in comparison to those other people.

She was always talking about killing the Holy Mother first when playing post-apocalyptic games, but unexpectedly, she actually did it.

What they said earlier wasn't wrong; this door was installed by a specialist before the apocalypse. The shopkeeper claimed that unless someone had the key, even the King of Heaven himself couldn't blow open the door.

Let's just believe it for now.

Shen Jing sat in front of the door, listening to the discussion of the people outside.

Water supply has been suspended.

As the weather gets hotter, there are also zombies outside.

The people here will only get crazier and crazier in the future.

Just as Shen Jing was about to take out a smoothie from her spatial storage, those people were still there, but she couldn't be bothered with them. She was startled by the sudden appearance of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in her spatial storage, with a note on it that read: "The temperature will continue to rise."

What happened? When was it exposed?

She has never gone out!

wrong……

Is it because she has never been outside?

Or is it because this person can recognize that piece of curtain fabric?

However, these are just ordinary white curtains, the kind that every household has, and not a particularly special style.

And where did he get the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water from?

With so much stuff stored in her spatial storage, she had no idea where that thing was.

Every time she accesses something from her spatial storage, she can do so simply by using her mind.

Is this neighbor like that too?

But he clearly only took meat from the freezer section before?

Even the stored items only appear in the freezer section?

Shen Jing had specifically observed that his access range was very small, which was why she felt a little relieved.

Then another question arises.

Did you really take this bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water from the space?

But there's no need. Does she really need to ask him for things from the space?
