At this time, Lin Dong was staying at home, bored, looking at his phone.
Chased by a dog?
Hearing the sound below, he felt it was very strange. It was rare to see that kind of thing in the apocalypse.
So his figure dimmed and he appeared directly downstairs.
"What kind of dog chased you away?"
Lin Dong asked bluntly.
Zhao Feng Er said quickly.
"It's a Erha, and there's also a big-headed son..."
"ah?"
Lin Dong was even more surprised.
Immediately, the four corpses of Zhao Feng Er recounted what happened that night, first like this...and then like that, very detailed, dancing and expressing emotions.
Lin Dong understood.
The big-headed son they talked about was a corpse king in the provincial capital, and humans who had fled from the island country broke into their territory.
During the battle in Linshan City.
Lin Dong killed the Fat Butcher, the corpse king of the provincial capital, but afterwards... they never made any move.
This is enough to show that the Provincial City Corpse King is very calm.
Obviously different from Black Nightmare, it is not so easy to break the defense. After all, Black Nightmare is just a rising star, with a very weak foundation, and his Corpse King is not very strong either.
But before the end, the provincial capital had a population of 20 million, far exceeding Jiangbei City.
There must be more than one zombie awakened.
Moreover, no one understands them at all, and they don't know what their abilities are. This may be an unprecedented and powerful enemy.
Lin Dong is also curious about the zombies there.
Most of the crystal nuclei hunted in Hanjiang Province have been absorbed.
"Maybe... I should go and have a look..."
...
The sun rises slowly, and the morning sun covers the earth. To reawaken the sleeping forest to life.
Deep in a dense forest, there is a group of human beings, with tired expressions and fear in their eyes, resting against the roots of trees. It is Takahashi Yuya and others who escaped for a night.
"It's so scary... I didn't expect that we would stumble into the corpse nest by mistake."
"Yes, and the zombies' evolution level is not low. It feels more powerful than the most terrifying corpse nest in our island country!"
"Well, it seems that we underestimated the danger here before!"
"...."
Takahashi Yuya's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but recall that when he was in the island country, the fastest-expanding corpse nest there, the corpse kings named Mei Ji and Mad Wolf, and later he also took in a corpse king named Dinosaur. Therefore, it was broken by them.
"I don't know why they suddenly rose up..."
Takahashi Yuya still hasn’t figured it out yet.
But...even so, it seems to pale in comparison to the tide of corpses here.
However, what made them most desperate was that there was not a single living person in the entire nearby area!
He spent a night on the run, traveling to many cities.
I haven’t met a single living human being!
This caused great trauma to their hearts, and they were filled with a sense of loneliness, as if they were the only ones left in the whole world.
"Is...humanity really going to perish?"
Intense loneliness, hesitation, and confusion filled their hearts, almost suffocating them.
This is the cruel end.
Looking at his daughter Nayuki, Takahashi Yuya had some motivation to live, so he reached out and touched her head.
"Dad will help you survive."
"Um!"
Takahashi Nayuki nodded obediently, her big eyes flashing with tears.
There were originally dozens of them, but after fleeing all the way, now there are only a dozen left, and some of them are injured.
The young man with the tumor before had a big pustule on his shoulder, and streams of black blood overflowed from it. His face was pale, his expression was painful, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was probably close to death...
Takahashi Yuya looked around.
"Fortunately, it's dawn now, and the mutant beasts and mutant plants won't be active. We're relatively safe."
Everyone around him could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
One of the men in a turban suggested.
"Let's take advantage of the time now to find something to eat in the mountains and forests, and then find a safe place to spend the night smoothly."
"Well, that's right. Let's all act together. Please stay alive, please!"
Takahashi Yuya said.
All the people took action one after another, and some of the wounded limped using tree branches as crutches.
In this mountain forest, there is no shortage of food. You can pick some wild vegetables, wild fruits, etc., and if you are lucky, you can also hunt small herbivorous mutant beasts.
No matter what, you can also eat some grass roots and bark.
Takahashi Nayuki looked around, and soon saw a flash of bright color among the dead leaves on the ground.
It was a mineral water bottle that reflected light.
"Wow!"
Takahashi Nayuki's eyes lit up and she quickly picked it up. If it were before the end of the world, she might have condemned it... for littering in the wild.
But now I am a little happy, because this represents traces of human beings.
"Dad, look at me picking up a mineral water bottle. Do you think there are any living humans in this mountain forest?"
"Maybe."
Takahashi Yuya smiled slightly. Although he did not feel the breath of living people except himself, he was not willing to give up his daughter's hope.
As we walked forward, the trees gradually became sparse, small earth bags bulged out in the forest, and there were numerous stone monuments in front of us.
"Is this... a cemetery?"
Takahashi Nayuki's eyes flickered. She had survived in the apocalypse for eight months and had seen countless zombies and various dead people. Naturally, she was not afraid of cemeteries.
She stepped forward and looked at each one one by one, and found that the words engraved on the stone tablets were all in Longguo language, so she couldn't understand them well.
In front of some tombstones, there are traces of broken plates or dishes, which must have been used to place sacrificial offerings.
But those things had long been eaten up by rats.
Nayuki Takahashi gained nothing.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw a black and white portrait placed in front of a tombstone. It could be vaguely seen that it looked like an old woman, with a wrinkled face and a serious expression.
It's just that after being exposed to wind and rain, the portrait was covered with dust and was very blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.
Takahashi Nayuki stepped forward and picked up the portrait. Curious about its true appearance, she wiped it with her hand.
As she wiped it, the portrait became clear.
But suddenly, Takahashi Nayuki felt something was wrong. She looked at the portrait and found that the originally serious old woman's mouth had turned up at some point, grinning down to her apples, and narrowed her eyes, showing a weird smile. .
"ah--"
Takahashi Nayuki exclaimed, quickly threw away the portrait, and staggered back a few steps.
"Nayuki! What's wrong?"
The father next to him held the handle of the knife, his expression instantly alert.
"She...she is smiling, she is smiling at me!" Nayuki Takahashi said in horror.
"Um???"
Takahashi Yuya frowned and looked at the portrait on the ground.
I found that it was an old lady with a serious look on her face. It was just a photo. How could she be smiling?
Even though the end of the world is dangerous, no supernatural events have been encountered so far.
"Nayuki, maybe you were too nervous after escaping all night..."
...
