Chapter 264 Mysterious Black Bug
The surveillance screen showed a dilapidated flower and bird market.
The sign fell to the ground, and the wooden railings next to it were all corroded and collapsed, leaving only a large area of ruins.
There were two zombies squatting next to it, gnawing on wood.
These zombies have nothing to eat, so they gnaw on wood and iron ore.
Even if all the teeth fall out, still persevere.
There is a fruit shanty town next to the market, most of which have become dilapidated, and there are still a lot of black bloodstains of zombies on the bent bamboo vines.
Mutated plants can be vaguely seen in several greenhouses.
"There should be a lot of fruit seeds here. There are not many zombies around, so it is relatively safe." Qi Chi pressed the button to change the picture on the surveillance screen.
Suddenly a zombie face appeared on the screen.
The zombie looked at the camera curiously, its head shaking, its facial features rotted away and its face could not be seen clearly. There seemed to be long black worms surging under its thin skin.
"Fuck, this zombie is so disgusting, its face is covered with parasites." Duan Ya covered his mouth. He had just finished eating the skewers and now felt his stomach churning.
"I was scared too, but this city is well preserved. I just saw a lot of things in the small shop next to it. How could the survivors not take them away when they fled?" Xiao Choujue said, pointing at the screen.
Luo Yunjin also discovered that a large amount of supplies in Haicheng had not been taken away. It seemed that no survivors had ever set foot here for such a long time.
It's a bit weird.
This means there is something strange here and it is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
But they have already built Stone Mountain and their home here, so they will definitely find a chance to explore the surrounding area.
"We each have a walkie-talkie, which can receive signals within 5,000 kilometers. Everyone can carry it with them and search for supplies separately. There should be no problem." Qi Chi distributed the walkie-talkies that he had prepared long ago to everyone.
This is the walkie-talkie he made after some improvements. It can not only be used for emergency calls, but also can directly locate the other party's position.
"Then let's go out and collect some supplies tomorrow, in groups of two or three. Have a good rest tonight and get enough rest." Luo Yunjin stood up and announced.
In order to make our family better and better, and before the sea water spreads over, it is best to transfer all usable materials in Haicheng to the mountains.
Duan Ya and Xiao Wangba are still planning to expand the scope of the stone mountain and make it higher.
They would take some time every day to go to the middle of the mountain to consolidate the stone mountain and ensure that the mountain would not fall down when the sea water rushed over.
Luo Yunjin prepared rice with toppings in advance. In addition to Xuan Hongyan and Mo Lian who had already left, there were fifteen people in total, enough for three days, a total of 135 servings, to ensure three meals a day.
Now that the weather is cold, rice with toppings can be kept fresh and stored for a certain period of time.
Xiao Choujue, Zhong Lingmei and Luo Yunjin worked together and spent six hours to produce 135 bento boxes, and each person received 9.
The fifteen people were divided into five groups, each with three people.
It is necessary to consider the reasonable combination of auxiliary and offensive psychics.
Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi were in a group of two, the others were in groups of three, and the little tabby cat and the little leopard cat were also assigned to the remaining teams.
The little tabby's ability to transform into a pig can also allow him to play the role of a power-type mutant. When encountering danger, he can grow bigger at the critical moment and carry people away to escape.
The next morning, everyone distributed the cars and tools.
They only have three cars in total, so transportation is a big limitation.
Xuan Hongyan had already driven away one car when she went out before, so now there are only two cars left.
So roller skates and skateboards come in handy again.
Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi chose roller skates because the car could be used to transport supplies and she had space, so there was no need to waste another car.
"This time we are mainly collecting plant seeds, cotton clothing and quilts, electrical appliances, and daily necessities. Everyone can take as much as they can. By the way, try to find more cars." Cheng Yuanfeng said with a frown.
The storage space of the remaining two vehicles was not large. Even though Qi Chi had installed a small shed on the roof to hold supplies, it could not hold much, and it was too troublesome to transport them back and forth.
The five groups of people and cats went their separate ways.
This was the first time that the tabby cat and the leopard cat were separated from Luo Yunjin.
The two cats felt inexplicably excited, thinking that they had become useful and that their special abilities were needed by others.
Pei Chuan, Little Leopard Cat, Xiao Choujue, and Xiao Wangba are in the same group.
Among them, Pei Chuan has an invalidation ability, Xiao Choujue has a healing ability, and Xiao Baomao and Xiao Wangba are both gold-type, with very simple attributes, so they were assigned to the flying car.
The flying car can fly into the sky when necessary, making it easier to escape and ensure safety.
The leopard cat lay on the window, reluctantly saying goodbye to the tabby cat.
The tabby cat turned into a pink pig and followed Duan Ya excitedly.
Duan Ya, Cheng Yuanfeng and Little Tiger were in a group. The two men and the cat all had attack-type abilities, so they chose skateboards and carts. They went to the outskirts of the surrounding towns, and the hard work of transporting supplies back and forth was given to them.
Zhong Lingmei, the remaining water-type mutant Zhang Feng, and the earth-type mutant Li Quanshui formed a group, and the three of them drove a car.
After everyone separated, they all headed towards their destination.
Luo Yunjin was wearing a raincoat and skates, sliding on the ground.
The rain washed away the dirt and fine sand and gravel on the ground, so the road was very flat and you could skate smoothly on it in skates.
Lin Xi followed closely beside her, his main attention focused on the girl. Seeing her skating at such a fast speed, he became worried about her health.
She is pregnant, why is she so wild!
Soon we arrived at the small town on the edge of Haicheng.
The town has a sparse population and even fewer houses. It seems to be a fishing village that mainly relied on fishing for a living before the end of the world.
There are few houses and they are densely packed together. The stones on the ground are of irregular shapes, and there are high slopes from time to time.
It's difficult to climb a hill in roller skates.
So the two of them walked in slippers and began to sweep away all the supplies in the house.
This kind of adventure feels great, just like opening a blind box, because you don’t know which house will contain supplies.
The two successfully found a lot of household appliances in an abandoned department store, such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, air fryers, household sweeping robots, etc.
Most of the clothes were too damp to wear.
There are still many expired dairy products and beverages in the warehouse.
Luo Yunjin didn't collect them either. There were fruit trees in the orchard, and fresh juice was healthier than these drinks that were about to expire, and the bottles and jars also took up space.
She would check every house and try to take only new items, and no longer accept things like water and drinks.
I almost saw half of the town.
There is not much to take away, and so far I haven’t found any store selling seeds.
I passed by a tailor shop. The double-layer vacuum glass inside the shop was very strong and had not been damaged for so long.
Three rotten zombies were standing in the display cabinet, their faces pressed against the glass, staring at Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi outside.
The zombie's face pressed against the glass and turned into a meat patty.
They gnawed at the glass, but they had no teeth and could not break through it.
However, these three male zombies have good figures. They should have been models before the apocalypse. They are tall with broad shoulders and narrow waists. If you don’t look at their faces, they are quite handsome and burly. With their rotten faces, they become inexplicably terrifying.
These zombies were the same as those seen on the surveillance camera before, with black bugs surging under their skin.
People with trypophobia will cry after watching this.
"These zombies have parasites in their bodies, don't touch them." Lin Xi said in a deep voice.
Along the way, they didn't seem to encounter many zombies. It was obvious that the zombies were deliberately avoiding them.
But the reason they avoid them is not because they are afraid that they are high-level psychics, but because the parasites on their bodies will burrow out in large numbers as long as they get close to living things.
Parasites and zombies complement each other. Without the parasites, the zombies will die.
Luo Yunjin was disgusted by these zombies.
The swarming of the slippery bugs looked like maggots crawling around in poop.
What I saw on the surveillance camera before was not very clear, but now that I can see it almost face to face, the intuitive impact is resounding in my brain.
Luo Yunjin immediately gave up the idea of searching the tailor shop, even though there were indeed a few nice clothes hanging inside.
At noon, I found a relatively clean grocery store and prepared to eat.
Simply add water to the bottom of the double-layer lunch box, then put a heating bag in it. The lunch box can be heated in ten minutes without the need for a fire. It is very convenient.
The two of them had rice with sausage and vegetables for lunch. The white rice was steamed with corn kernels, and the rice had a light sweet corn flavor.
The sausage has a salty and spicy taste and is very appetizing when eaten with rice.
After the meal, have a glass of sweet grape juice, a simple yet nutritious meal.
The shelves in the convenience store were covered with dust, and the packaging bags of the supplies were dirty and covered with a layer of dust.
At the innermost part there is a small living room and two rooms.
There was a pungent smell of decay in one of the rooms, and on the bed was a zombie that had rotted into a black skeleton.
Fortunately, I went to see it before eating, otherwise I would have lost my appetite.
There are few houses on the stone pier, and most of them are B&Bs. The houses have been idle for a long time and have a strong smell of mold and rot.
Now they had the ability to find better supplies, so they did not collect the old quilts on the beds and in the cabinets.
I didn't finish looking around, but after walking through almost half of the town, I had a general idea of the distribution of the houses here.
In order to find clean and practical supplies and speed up efficiency, they did not enter those houses, but mainly looted various shops.
Fortunately, I finally found a store in the corner that specializes in selling various vegetable seeds, but most of the plant seeds there had become damp and could not be used.
Just some vegetable seeds and a few fruit seeds.
Most of them were things she already owned.
"We have figs and sunflower seeds here, which are pretty good." Suddenly I wanted to eat chicken stewed with figs and fried sunflower seeds.
Luo Yunjin put the seeds away as a treasure.
She left the previous carnivorous plant on the rocky mountain and planted it halfway up the mountain so that she could catch zombies coming up the mountain when she had nothing to do.
Therefore, the orchard below the top of the mountain is very safe and has a large area, so you can choose a place and plant half an acre of sunflowers.
In the afternoon, the two went directly to the second town, which was also the location of the flower and bird market seen through surveillance before.
The two towns are ten kilometers apart. This town is obviously much larger than the previous one, but the damage is also more serious.
There are a lot of zombies, and many of them are walking aimlessly on the streets, like zombies, with dull eyes. They don't attack people when they see them, and they walk slowly. With every step they take, a pile of bugs will fall from their bodies.
Lying zombies and skeletal remains can be seen everywhere.
Under the influence of rain, the insects gradually burrowed into the soil, and some even slid into the house.
Black bugs everywhere.
Luo Yunjin suddenly didn't want to go in anymore.
"I think we should just forget it. There's no place to stay here. Those bugs are so disgusting. I can't stand it anymore and don't want to look at them." Luo Yunjin stood silently behind Lin Xi.
"Don't you want the seeds anymore? Don't you want to eat mangosteen anymore?"
"No, no, you just saw it, a lot of bugs crawled into the house. The supplies inside may have been contaminated, so it's better not to go in. No wonder the survivors here didn't bring many supplies when they escaped, so that's the case?" Luo Yunjin pulled Lin Xi's clothes, preventing anyone from entering.
"Then let's change towns. There are many small towns and villages nearby." Lin Xi touched the back of the girl's hand soothingly.
The two left the town one after the other.
They didn't notice that in the two-story building on the far left, a sinister white face flashed by behind one of the windows.
In order to avoid encountering those disgusting zombies infected by mysterious parasites, the two tried to walk towards small towns with fewer people.
Not long after, another quaint village appeared. It was deserted and all the houses were made of stone. It seemed that there were only residential buildings here. Even small shops were rare, and even if there were any, there were no attractive supplies inside.
After walking through the entire village, just as the two were about to find a house to have dinner and rest, a female voice suddenly came.
"Is it a human? Is it a living person?" The voice was trembling and hoarse.
Luo Yunjin turned around and saw a dirty, skinny woman waving at them from behind a wooden door in a nearby stone house.
Behind the woman was a group of men, women, young and old.
"Who are you? The natives here? Or survivors who fled here?" the woman asked anxiously. She mustered up the courage to call them when she saw that the young man and woman were extremely clean and had a very good temperament.
The woman was very nervous. This was a gamble because she didn't know whether the two people in front of her were bad people or good people, and whether they would steal her few food and fresh water.
"We are here to look for supplies." Luo Yunjin told the truth.
Everyone in the house had a different expression, some disapproving, some frightened, some envious, some resentful...
The woman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Luo Yunjin's words. She opened the door and said, "We are survivors who escaped a month ago. This town has a lot of supplies. Those zombies...those zombies don't eat people, but the bugs on their bodies do. I saw with my own eyes that a companion was gnawed to pieces by hundreds of bugs."
"It may be presumptuous of you, but could you please tell me how safe the area is? We're running low on supplies, and I need to find more food." There was a hint of pleading in her tone.
"We have only looked at two towns. This town is the cleanest so far. As for the two towns behind that are closer, I suggest you not go there to look for supplies. It is too dangerous and there are a lot of insects." Luo Yunjin said softly.
The other person's face turned pale.
"But there aren't many supplies in town, and there are so many of us..." the woman said to herself.
