Jingyuan wrote a note, placed it next to his pillow, and pressed it with the air conditioner remote control.

He found a thermos cup, placed it on the bedside table, poured hot water into it, and took a long plastic straw.

The lid of the thermos cup was slightly tilted by the straw, and water vapor floated out from the gap in the mouth of the cup. He pointed the mouth of the straw at the bedside to ensure that Tang Xue could use this straw to drink water if she woke up while he was away.

For other things, such as eating and going to the bathroom, she couldn't get out of bed alone, so she had to wait for him to come back.

He has to go out. If he just sits here, everything will not get better. He has to go out.

He went to the basement and filled up the generator with oil to ensure that the air conditioner would keep working and the lights would stay on while he was gone.

In the bright hall, he took off the rifle hanging on the wall, took out the pistol placed in the cabinet, disassembled the gun parts section by section, and maintained and oiled them.

The brass-cased bullets reflected golden light and made a crisp sound when the metal collided. They were loaded into the ammunition bag one by one.

He found the belt with the pistol pouch, put it on his waist, stuck the pistol on the belt, and carried the rifle on his back.

There is also a file spear stuck in the middle of the chair and used as an apron hanging rod.

He had upgraded the file spear once before and replaced it with a thicker, longer and harder file head as the spear tip. The fixing method of the spear tip was also changed from a rope knot to a more stable anchor bolt and iron piece.

It started out as a crudely made simple spear, but now it can be called a qualified weapon.

After taking off the long gun, there was a nylon rope that he punched through the gun body to make it easier for him to carry it.

Finally, there was the eggplant knife, which he placed beside the firewood pile. He used the eggplant knife to chop firewood on weekdays. It was the weapon he used to chop the most zombies, and it was also the weapon he held in his hand for the longest time.

Although he always carries a rifle and a pistol, he rarely encounters critical moments when he needs to shoot. He usually only uses files and spears to deal with smaller groups of zombies. If it is a head-on confrontation, he always uses the best quality weapon.

A good eggplant knife.

The black blade and blade of the eggplant knife have been stained with a layer of black blood that cannot be washed away, and there is a faint evil aura. It has killed at least two to three hundred zombies, just in the food processing plant in the north of the city.

Near the factory, 109 zombie heads were chopped off.

Find the most important weapons, followed by lighters, flashlights, goggles, gloves, ropes and a series of other small items.

I didn’t use a travel bag to pack it. The travel bag was too big. This time I wasn’t going out to pick up garbage. There was no need to bring such a big bag. I found a waist bag to carry these tools, and also brought a water bottle, a map and some weavers.

Dried meat, everything was ready, and he was ready to go out.

Finally, he came to the bedroom and took a look. He took off the gray scarf around his neck, folded it and placed it next to the pillow.

He wasn't going out to play and didn't want to get this scarf dirty.

Looking down, Tang Xue's breathing was smoother than during the day, but her lips were white and her mouth skin was chapped. She had been sweating, causing her to be dehydrated.

She seemed to be having a nightmare, her eyes were tightly closed and her brows were squeezed together.

Jingyuan touched her head and wiped her sweat with a wet towel. Her brows relaxed a little.

I looked at my watch, it was 8:26 pm.

Without waking up Tang Xue or showing too much nostalgia, Jingyuan grabbed Xiaobai who was biting his trouser leg, pinched the little guy's neck, and carried him out of the bedroom.

Close the bedroom door and throw Xiaobai into his doghouse.

"Take good care of your home."

"Woof."

Xiaobai called out, but I don't know if he understood it or not.

Jingyuan filled the empty hot water bottle with hot water, and tied it to his shoulders, abdomen, and legs just like before when he went out.

Xiaobai waggled his tail and followed Jingyuan, as if he wanted to follow him out.

Jingyuan stopped it in front of the gate and locked it in the house.

Standing on the snow, the cold wind blew in my face.

He put on his goggles and pulled up the hat of his cotton suit. A warm light shone behind him. The outdoor air conditioner on the second floor rumbled. The wind ruffled the snow, which fell on the hair on his forehead.

Beyond that was the silent darkness. At this time in the past, he had been lying on the bed, maybe watching a movie and then going to bed, maybe lying on his back facing the ceiling in a daze, or maybe chatting with Tang Xue about the past, listening to her talk about the unknown.

Interesting humanistic things I have seen.

Who wants to go out in this kind of weather? Who doesn’t want to wrap himself up in bed in a room sheltered from the wind and snow?

But there was something he was more afraid of and even less willing to see. This strong desire defeated other emotions.

He took a look at the map through the light coming from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the jumping monster icon was very clear in his eyes.

Although there are much fewer mutants in the southern suburbs than in the city center, it is not without them. However, he has always consciously avoided the mutants in the southern suburbs, and he has never explored those areas.

There are a total of five monster icons in the entire southern suburbs. After deducting the group of mutant sparrows he got rid of, there are only four left.

They were all simple monster icons with no treasure chests. He had explored all the locations where the container icons represented supplies, and he had moved all the supplies in those places to the basement for storage.

From autumn to winter, his range of activities has been controlled in safe locations, in places he has been to and knows.

Now he is going to an unknown land he has never set foot on. Four monster icons are connected like an irregular trapezoid. Jingyuan's home is in the upper right corner of this trapezoid.

Walking to the right and to the southeast, it turned out to be a cattle farm, with a large farmland nearby.

That is not an icon of a swarm of monsters. The only swarm monsters in the entire southern suburbs are the Orioles.

It's not the monster icon with deformed goldfish eyes like the gas station on Xiuhu Avenue, but a striking horned devil. In the game, the horned devil represents an elite monster. If you defeat the elite monster, it will inevitably drop a weapon or treasure.

The cattle farm is the closest to Jingyuan, about two to three kilometers away in a straight line, in the direction of Xiangzhou Mountain.

At the end of autumn, when he went to the foot of Zhoushan Mountain to cut firewood and lack water, he would pass by the farmland. Looking from the road, he could see from a distance that the farmland was overgrown with weeds, barren but full of vitality.

The southern suburbs are not big. Even if he walked, it would not take him an hour to walk around the trapezoid.

Let's start from the cattle farm, go southeast, then west, and make a circle counterclockwise.

If possible, he hoped that he would explore all four areas tonight.

The route was planned, and he pushed the bicycle out of the garage and tried it. It seemed that it had been sunny for three days, the snow on the ground was not that thick anymore, and the tires of the bicycle were not stuck like before.

Good, that way he can get back and forth faster.

Step on the bicycle seat, pedal the pedals, the chain rotates, and the body moves forward.

His figure became hazy and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The light behind him disappeared, and all he could hear in his ears was the whistling wind. There was no moon or stars. He seemed to be in a completely closed black box, boundless, and there was a landscape wherever he went.

He closed his eyes and relied on the sound of wind and vibration feedback from the tires to identify the road.

He thought, this is really a dark and cold snowy night.
