Volume 1: Walking on the Path of the Corpse Chapter 28: Siege of Zombies
Outside the medium-sized city, the originally sunny sky was covered by layers of dark clouds, the sky and the earth were rendered a dark color, and a heavy rain was inevitable.
The winter winds in coastal cities are already cold, and rainy days make the coldness even worse. Su Chen looked back at the medium-sized city. He didn't expect to have to go back so soon after traveling today, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Su Chen quickened his pace. He didn't want to experience the cold rain in winter.
Many creatures have instinctive warnings for the coming of heavy rain. Su Chen didn't know that zombies also have instinctive warnings for rainy days.
The instinct of zombies drives them to avoid this heavy rain.
In Su Chen's sight, the originally empty streets were full of zombies. Su Chen didn't know where they came from. Could it be that they were all hiding in the building and hibernating not long ago? This is obviously impossible.
Su Chen didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to know the reason. However, there were too many zombies, so he had to go into a nearby building to avoid them.
As far as Guang Suchen could see, about a hundred meters away, there were seventy or eighty zombies walking around. This street was usually empty of people, and this number of zombies was far higher than it should be.
Su Chen was not interested in this at first, but after watching it for a while, he suddenly had a very bad feeling. His brain was thinking quickly and he quickly summarized some things.
To put it simply, it is a zombie siege.
This was his guess. Judging from the situation in front of him, his guess was probably correct. Su Chen quickly ran to the rooftop of the building, took out the camouflage telescope from his military backpack, and wanted to check the street.
zombie situation.
The situation on the street was not optimistic, because the building only had seven floors, and the area Su Chen could overlook was not very wide. Even so, he could still see hundreds of zombies walking around in an orderly manner on the street.
They don't seem to be taking shelter from the rain, but like ancient marches. Although the pace is irregular, the route of advancement is the same, that is to say, they have a common goal.
There are such a large number of zombies in this street alone, and the rest of the streets, or even the entire Nan City, may be surrounded by zombies.
In order to prove his conjecture, Su Chen found a gap between zombies and ran quickly on the street.
Just on another street, there is a thirty-story building, one of the few high-rise buildings around.
There were too many zombies, leaving a very short interval for Su Chen. It took Su Chen an hour of walking and stopping to reach his destination.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it looked like night. The unique whistling sound of the cold wind, accompanied by drops of cold rain, made Su Chen couldn't help but shiver.
The outdoor temperature is dropping rapidly, reaching minus seven degrees. I believe that the cold rain will turn into heavy snow within half a minute. This cold world makes Su Chen very uncomfortable.
Su Chen rubbed his hands. After realizing that the elevator in the building was out of service, his face darkened. He thought he would just warm up and ran upstairs with a military backpack on his back.
Half an hour later, Su Chen, who was covered in sweat, pried open the door to the rooftop and stepped into the snow-white world. The cold wind on the rooftop caused the sweat on his skin to shake off quickly. Su Chen trembled with his arms and watched.
The city below.
Su Chen didn't understand the camouflage telescope in his hand. He was sure that the telescope in his hand had good functions. It was not only anti-shake, but also had extremely high definition and a visual distance of up to three kilometers.
Su Chen arrived a step too late, and the heavy snow turned the city completely white. This made him look very far away, and there was only a vast expanse of white. However, within three kilometers, everything was very clear, even the streets three kilometers away.
When a zombie moves, Su Chen can clearly see its rhythm.
Su Chen looked around and saw a total of eight streets. Zombies were rampant in all eight streets. The number of zombies was much more than in the past few days, and some streets were even several times more numerous. Based on these alone, Su Chen could be sure.
The number of zombies in this city is increasing rapidly. I believe that it will not be long before a zombie siege occurs.
The zombie siege does not target the creatures in the city, maybe they are just passing by, or for other reasons.
Regardless of the reason, the number of zombies in this city is increasing rapidly. When Su Chen goes out in the future, the level of danger will double.
He didn't know how long this would last. He only had one thought at the moment, leaving this city as soon as possible.
The endless stream of zombies seemed to be endless. A scene from a movie suddenly emerged in Su Chen's mind, where hundreds of thousands or even millions of zombies gathered together in a black mass, sweeping across a certain area.
No matter where they go, life will be destroyed.
After Su Chen's legs had almost recovered, he left here quickly. Although he didn't know the situation in the entire city, judging from these eight streets, he was sure of his guess. He wanted to leave here. This time, he was very
decisive.
This city has left him with many beautiful memories, but the memories only exist in his mind after all. He needs to face the cruel reality of the end of the world. If he is unwilling to face it, things will not get better.
There was heavy snowfall outside the window, and Ye Yao felt a little melancholy. She had not seen the scene of heavy snowfall for many years. Ordinary people would be happy or even excited at this time, but she was not. Instead, this brought back some unpleasant memories in her.
Beautiful memories.
Boom, boom, boom.
A clear knock on the door disrupted her thoughts. She turned to look at Ye Xin, and looked at the closed door with a slightly strange look. She did not expect Su Chen to come back so early today, which gave her an unpleasant feeling.
What a great illusion.
Su Chen had not yet put on new clothes, and there were still unmelted snowflakes on the patched camouflage uniform. Su Chen turned his head and glanced at Ye Xin, and whispered: "Let's go out and talk."
Ye Yao nodded and closed the door.
On the wicker chair on the balcony, Su Chen took off his coat and told his thoughts without reservation. He needed to leave here, and he needed her and Ye Xin to leave here too, so he had to get her consent.
"Zombie siege? It sounds ridiculous, but no matter what happens in this world, it is not strange. Do you have a precise course of action? I don't think it will be safer outside than at home." Ye Yao sat on a wicker chair and tasted it.
Taking a sip of hot tea, he said calmly.
"There is no action route yet, but I have an accurate final goal. The journey will not be safe, and it will even be more dangerous than here, but risks and benefits coexist. If we stay here, sooner or later the food will be eaten out.
, and the increasing number of zombies in this city means that this city will become more dangerous every day."
"Leaving here is not a good choice, it's just my helpless move." Su Chen sighed and said truthfully.
"My thinking will not make me shrink back when encountering danger. If what you say is true, I think we really need to leave this city, even if this city makes us live a very comfortable life now." Ye Yao
She stretched out her hand to feel the coldness on her fingertips. She also had some nostalgia for this place, but she and Su Chen were the same type of people and would not let their legs be tied up by comfort.
"Then you and Ye Xin go and sort out the supplies you need to take away. I'll go out and find a car that suits us and leave here as soon as possible." Su Chen grabbed his coat and stood up.
"Take a hot bath before leaving. Don't catch a cold." Ye Yao took the last sip of hot tea in the cup.
