Chapter 12 - snowflake

Many people found that the target of the army did not seem to be an ordinary residential area, and some of them drove directly to the armored vehicle for help, wanting to act with them, but although the soldiers on the armored vehicle did not drive away these People, some of the stragglers fled to the vicinity, and if they were sure they had no wounds, the convoy would allow them to climb into the accompanying trucks in the convoy. But if there are zombies chasing after the vehicles behind them, these soldiers won’t go out of their way to help clean them up if they can’t reach them.

What’s more, the convoy originally entered the city to rescue people. After entering the target community, the convoy will stop for a period of time until it finds the rescue target. During that time, even if the vehicles that defected to the city are really in danger, they may not be able to make it in time save them.

Some vehicles saw that the armored vehicles were moving slowly, that there were too many vehicles coming for help, and that their own vehicles might be in danger if they were too close to the periphery and became a “wall” for others. secure base.

Some smart people, just like Wei Xuan in his previous life, simply followed the marks of the armored vehicles to leave the city and find a safe place along the way.

These vehicles turned around one after another and left the city from any direction in a panic. Many people who heard the movement outside and were almost out of food at home were more courageous. Together they left this place that was about to become a dead city.

The remaining people were either unable to leave because they did not have a private vehicle, or were unable to move out of the pile of zombies, or some elderly people did not want to leave their homes at all and would rather die at home. There are also some people who are very unlucky and live on the other side of the city. Although they heard some faint movements, they dare not go out to inquire about the situation because they don’t know what happened.

In the second week after the end of the world, because of the arrival of an armed armored convoy, the survivors in T City caused the second peak wave of escaping from the city. This is also the last wave with the most concentrated number of people…

—————

Wei Xuan adjusted the solar-powered radio on the bedside table. This thing was a loot he collected when he went out recently. Like the solar flashlight and solar charging board, he found it from the nearby home improvement city.

There was a buzzing noise from the radio, and after a while there were some unclear human voices. Wei Xuan adjusted it a few more times before he could hear the voice inside clearly.

“…Lock the door, try not to go out to avoid danger, keep the room quiet, and try not to attract the attention of zombies outside… Survivors in T City, B City, J City and other cities, please pay attention to the nearest safe base nearby Three kilometers to the west of the original XXX, if there is a spontaneous organization to come to the survivors, it is best to take a vehicle. Avoid being clawed and bitten by zombies. If you do not have a private vehicle, please stay at home as much as possible and try to save yourself. The government will organize Manpower dispatches people to rescue as soon as possible…”

Listening to the voice inside repeating this passage over and over again, Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after adjusting it a few times, he confirmed that the other received channels were either incomprehensible foreign language channels or content with extremely unclear signals. Then I turned off the radio and put it on the other side of the windowsill to bask in the sun.

Now that it has entered the third week after the end of the world, after the armored vehicle team leaves T City, T City will enter a state of complete isolation from the outside world. In the city, it will completely become the world of zombies.

Of course, there must be survivors like Wei Xuan who still live in the city. But that number will be pitifully small. Those who can calmly face the zombies like Wei Xuan are even a small minority. Most of the survivors who are still in the city can only hide in a relatively safe place where the zombies temporarily live for a long time. A place that cannot be attacked for a while.

They may be able to find a way to survive, but it will definitely be more difficult than those who have escaped from the city and established a survivor base. Of course, there may be some people who can live relatively peacefully, but unfortunately, Wei Xuan has never heard of such a person in his previous life, let alone encountered him at all, so at this moment, he can’t imagine what kind of living situation they will face. And how to live in this last days.

Looking at the ceiling in a daze, Wei Xuan wandered around in his mind first, to confirm that he had indeed closed the gate at the entrance of the community when he returned to the community. It takes a lot of effort to leave the community.

The more capable and courageous people in the city should also leave completely at this time because of the arrival of the army. In the future, they don’t have to be as cautious as before. who will see…

Just as he was thinking, Wei Xuan suddenly felt that his hand was covered by a hand, and he turned his head, and what he saw was Du Hang who was sitting beside his bed, looking at him with a somewhat stiff gaze.

Du Hang was the same as every day in the previous ten days. Since the end of the world just arrived and he subconsciously held his hand before he fell into a coma, he would hold his hand every time he slept. This has almost become a compulsory homework for the two of them every night before going to bed.

Although this action didn’t have any special meaning, Wei Xuan still smiled at Du Hang, and raised his palm to hold his hand. After the apocalypse, this kind of action is undoubtedly the most calming and warming action for him who cannot be seen by a living person and is unwilling to actively look for it.

It seems that as long as it is like this every day, he can feel Du Hang’s “importance” to him, no matter how monotonous, boring, and meaningless life is, Wei Xuan can cheer up and work hard towards the future that belongs to the two of them .

The building and rooms on this floor that Wei Xuan found seemed to be rented out to tenants before the apocalypse, and the two rooms inside had only single beds. So even if Wei Xuan wants to stimulate Du Hang’s “memory” of human life, there is no way to let him sleep on the bed every night for the time being.

Of course, they can naturally find ways to improve the living environment and conditions of the two in the future, but not in a short period of time. In the near future, they will face another event that can affect the living conditions of all survivors, so now I can only make do with it.

“Today’s work is almost too busy.” Wei Xuan sorted out his thoughts in a way of talking to himself.

Hearing Wei Xuan’s voice, Du Hang just did the same action as before, still quietly sitting aside, pretending to be a landscape painting and watching him, as if he was observing how human beings live their daily lives.

“After they all leave, we can act according to the plan I made before.” As he spoke, Wei Xuan rummaged through his backpack by the bed, and took out a bag in a short while, which contained some crystal clear bags. Clear, finely divided things. “Here, what’s your dinner tonight.”

As he spoke, Wei Xuan took out a small, crystal clear “snowflake” from the bag.

Seeing that thing, Du Hang was like a tiger seeing meat, or a zombie seeing a living person, and there was a light of expectation bursting out from his obviously dazed eyes.

Holding Wei Xuan’s hand, Du Hang ate the little “snowflake” directly. After digesting it for a while, he continued to obediently lean over and eat the snowflake that Wei Xuan took out for him next.

That bit of crystal white looks like a real snowflake from the outside, with a crystal clear texture and a beautiful and delicate shape, but its volume is relatively large, like a real snowflake enlarged to the size of a small fingernail generally.

This thing was discovered by Wei Xuan in his previous life, about two or three months after the end of the world, when he left the base and found it at the ground fissure caused by a major earthquake.

Wei Xuan and Du Hang, who lived after the apocalypse in their previous lives, first walked to the vicinity of the base with great difficulty, and found a relatively quiet shopping mall that had been looted for a while to live. It is relatively close to the base, and occasionally there are military personnel who go out to perform tasks, and teams of supernatural beings who go out to collect supplies pass by, and they will kill some zombies along the way.

Once when he and Du Hang went out to find supplies, they found that a zombie’s head had been blown off. Du Hang, who had been following him silently and only got excited when he found a human breath, suddenly stopped and shot from the zombie’s head. Zhong Pao pulled out something and was about to put it in his mouth, Wei Xuan was so startled that he quickly stopped his movement, only then did he discover the legendary crystal nucleus.

In fact, the crystal nucleus is not difficult for modern people who have read a lot of messy novels. It’s just that Du Hang confirmed that although the zombies usually don’t care about him, once he has caused serious damage to them, they will die. He would still fight back, so he didn’t ask for trouble when he was obviously seriously injured and needed to recuperate. There were fewer zombies killed, so naturally there was no chance to find this thing.

It wasn’t until then, after seeing the small dark green beads that Du Hang pulled out from the zombie’s head, that he confirmed that such a strange thing called a crystal nucleus could really be formed in the zombie’s head! Moreover, it seems that Du Hang likes this thing quite a bit, but the process of obtaining it is dangerous and troublesome. What’s more, this food was found out from the brains of zombies. It was very disgusting. Wei Xuan was somewhat resistant to this, so he temporarily stopped Du Hang from eating it.

It wasn’t until he left the base again, separated from his fellow team in danger, and reunited with Du Hang, who had been secretly guarding outside the base waiting for him, that he accidentally discovered these “ghosts” condensed in the soil at the ground fissure after the earthquake. “Snowflakes”, he didn’t stop Du Hang when he saw that he wanted to eat it.
