Chapter 192 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 22
Once they reached a place far from the city center, the chances of encountering zombies decreased significantly. They only encountered one zombie on the suburban road. Shen Ci skillfully took out his weapon, this time choosing an axe, and without changing his expression, cleaved the zombie's head in two.
And in doing all this, Shen Ci did not deliberately avoid Da Bao.
She needs to protect Da Bao, but she can't always make Da Bao close his eyes before she acts whenever they encounter zombies. The apocalypse will last for so many years, and Da Bao also needs to learn how to kill zombies.
After killing the zombies, Shen Ci cleaned the weapons before returning to the car. The weapons were stained with zombie blood, so it was best to clean them promptly to avoid bringing them into the villa.
"Da Bao, what are you filming?"
When Shen Ci saw him studying the camera, she couldn't help but ask him. This child was much braver than she had imagined. He wasn't afraid or screaming. He just waited for her with a serious expression, fiddling with the camera in his hands.
"Mom, I want to take pictures of these."
Could this information be useful if scientists were to research a cure for the virus in the future?
Or, much later, when the zombies have disappeared, this will become valuable data.
His camera has captured many things: how the heavy rains following the high temperatures changed the world, and what the zombies that appeared after the rains looked like.
In the pictures recorded by his camera, you can see what the zombies look like when they first start to mutate, what changes their bodies undergo, and how to kill them.
“You did a great job, Da Bao. This will be valuable information.”
After the heavy rain, the first batch of zombies appeared, most likely infected by a virus. These zombies were slow-moving, not very aggressive, and could be killed with ordinary weapons.
As Shen Ci analyzed the situation for him, she pointed to the zombie he had just photographed. The zombie had its head split in two by an axe and then became motionless. Even without its head, it did not struggle to get up again.
"Look, where are these zombies' weaknesses?"
Da Bao looked at the zombies outside. "It's a head! After Mom cut his head in half, he stopped moving!"
"Smart!" Shen Ci patted his little head and praised him.
"They observed very carefully. After these people are infected and turn into zombies, their strength will be many times greater than before. Just like Chen Kangkang, who was only a ten-year-old child when he was alive, but after turning into a zombie, he is strong enough to push down an adult."
Da Bao, are you scared?
Would you find it scary to see your mother killing these zombies?
Shen Ci drove away from here, preparing to go home, and also to put some psychological pressure on Da Bao. The apocalypse has lasted too long, and it is difficult for people to pay attention to mental health when their personal safety is not guaranteed.
The reason why many people suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after going to war is because they have psychological problems and do not receive timely intervention.
While ensuring the safety of the eldest child, their mental health must also be taken care of, since the eldest child is only seven years old.
"Mom, I feel scared and frightened, but these monsters, they are no longer human, they are people who have become monsters."
When I grow up, I will also help my mother fight monsters. People who become monsters are no longer human. They are like Brother Kang Kang, who can't even recognize their own closest relatives.
I'm afraid of monsters, but not of defeating them; I'm afraid of others turning into monsters too.
He understood why these people had turned into monsters, and he also understood that he had to kill these monsters in order to protect more people.
The child who was once so pitiful has now become so sensible. This is the power of the environment. The tremendous changes in this world have forced everyone to grow up. If you don't grow up, you can only wait to die.
"Mom, starting tomorrow, I want to train for an extra half hour every day!" Da Bao began to motivate himself.
Fear is useless, avoidance is useless; only by becoming stronger can you face any crisis that may arise.
This child is so sensible it breaks your heart. He hasn't had a good life since he was born. His parents divorced, his father died, his mother left, and his aunt's family seized the family property.
Before they even had a chance to grow up, the apocalypse came again. The high-temperature apocalypse ended, but the zombie apocalypse continued. In just seven short years, they lived more exciting lives than most people live a lifetime.
When I got home, I took out an old hen from my child's online space. It had been slaughtered, cleaned, and cut into pieces beforehand, so it was ready to use. I added some small shiitake mushrooms that I had stocked up on and stewed them together. It was another delicious meal, clean, fresh, and nutritious.
After returning, Shen Ci stored the firearms and ammunition that had been seized. Now, even without the system, she would have enough weapons of her own. If nothing unexpected happened, all the sidearms of the city's police officers would have been recovered.
While there might be some guns left out, the number is definitely small, greatly improving the safety of city residents! She deserves a commendation for her helpfulness as a citizen.
It's important to know that zombies don't use guns to kill people; only humans can use firearms to kill.
Having finally managed to get out of town, and now that the high-temperature apocalypse is over, Shen Ci had to take the opportunity to install surveillance cameras. This time, he practically walked around every police station in the city.
Wherever they went, they installed cameras wherever possible. Now, all they have to do is enjoy life at home and observe the outside world.
The outside world is too dangerous; it's most comfortable to stay at home.
After finishing their meal, they took out a large watermelon, and the mother and son each ate half. The watermelon was still very fresh. The older child ate the watermelon while watching educational videos, while Chen Ci watched the monitor and observed the outside world.
The man in the villa next door was still at large, and no one had made any noise about him. Everything else was quiet. Shen Ci was glad that she had bought enough cameras, big and small, pinhole and medium-sized, all kinds.
The most bustling places right now are the cities. There are very few zombies in the suburbs, and even if there are, they can't find food and can only wander aimlessly on the streets.
After the heatwave ends, the zombies aren't actually that difficult to deal with, but the urban infrastructure damaged by the heatwave is the hardest to restore.
Happiness Community.
After the three people died, everyone calmed down a lot. At Chen Kangkang's father's suggestion, everyone burned the three bodies together.
Leaving it there might spread more viruses; only burning it to ashes will put everyone at ease.
In this upheaval, Chen Kangkang's father suddenly lost two relatives and an arm, while the always farsighted Grandpa Li also died here, his reputation ruined before his death.
But soon people will discover that in the apocalypse, reputation is the least valuable thing.
