Chapter 46 - Finding Supplies and Chaos

“Heh—” A weak, deep sound came out of the old man’s mouth slowly, but because the old man’s previous illness had made it difficult for him to speak, the family members who hadn’t been out of the base for a long time didn’t take it seriously.

The old man opened his cloudy eyes, his expression was dull, and his face was a little pale.

This appearance made the girl who first noticed the old man move suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart. She always felt that grandpa looked like those terrifying zombies outside! Grandpa’s skin was still sallow before, but now it looks so pale… and those staring eyes…

Thinking in her heart, she subconsciously retreated towards the gate.

“Heh…heh!” The old man who sat up slowly suddenly jumped up from his son’s arm supporting him, and bit his son’s throat with one bite!

“Ah!” There was a scream in the room, and the girl who retreated to the door screamed and ran out of the room, and the survivors who also lived in the nearby building came out to check the situation in doubt.

“Zombie! Someone has become a zombie!!”

———————

“What’s going on?! How did Lao Liu suddenly become a zombie?”

“I don’t know… Did you get infected with the zombie virus yesterday when you went out to clean up the zombies outside?”

“Didn’t it mean that the zombie virus spreads extremely fast, as long as it enters the body, it only takes a few minutes to completely zombify people?”

Several people surrounded a zombie who had just been killed with lingering fear.

“What’s the situation? Who shot just now?” A man hurriedly walked towards the wall, frowning and asking in a low voice.

Several people quickly dispersed, pointing to a zombie surrounded by them: “It’s Lao Liu! He suddenly turned into a zombie just now!”

“Suddenly?” The man was also stunned for a moment, “Didn’t he go out from work yesterday? Why did he suddenly become a zombie now?”

“We don’t know either! Just now he suddenly said that his heart was not feeling well, so we let him sit there and rest for a while, but he suddenly turned into a zombie and rushed towards us!”

Another person suddenly said with some hesitation: “Old Liu has cardiovascular problems, and a stent was placed near his heart before the end of the world… But that should have nothing to do with his zombification, right?”

The other person shook his head with a sneer and said, “Even if his bracket is broken, it’s still inside his body. What does it matter if he suddenly turns into a zombie?”

“That’s right, could it be that he secretly brought something back when you came back yesterday? Or maybe it’s just that the skin and clothes have been rubbed against the zombie virus, and it was accidentally infected in the mouth or eyes just now?”

“It’s quite possible.”

“Yes, yes, it is possible, very likely!”

————————

In City T, which was discovered by Wei Xuan before and occupied a certain school as a base, a riot erupted from within at this time.

On the second floor of Teaching Building No. 1, a person who had just mutated into a zombie was chasing several former friends, his bluish-white face was full of excitement and ferocity.

“Boom, boom!” There were several violent explosions, which aroused the collective excitement of the zombies who had gathered around the school and only smelled the smell, screaming and wanting to rush in for a meal. However, the place where the explosion sounded was deep in the school, and the school’s walls were still extremely strong.

————————

The road is difficult and rugged, but fortunately, as long as you follow this road to the end, you can reach your destination, so Wei Xuan doesn’t have to worry about going to the wrong place halfway.

When he finally arrived at his target location, he immediately looked around for the shops he needed while the sky was still light.

The solar panel sales store I was looking for this time is actually more difficult to find when the Internet is completely cut off. Fortunately, Wei Xuan had already searched for the supplies just after the end of the world, when the communication network in T City was still barely functioning, and before he was about to collect supplies for the first time.

At that time, he found a total of seven or eight stores in T city that were selling this kind of equipment, but the nearest and smallest one was selected by him as the most important place to go, and all the equipment there were also sold by him one after another. Moved back to the community. Fortunately, by the way, he paid more attention to another shop with a larger scale but a little further away as an alternative, which is the one he came to now.

In other words, if all the equipment in this shop had been taken away in the early days of the end of the world, then where he would go to find solar panels would become a big problem. At that time, he could only vaguely remember the general direction of the store location shown on the map. If he wanted to search carefully after the end of the world, I am afraid that it would be a little more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, right?

“Ah! Yes! It’s over there!” Seeing the door shop sign half-hanging under the eaves from a distance, Wei Xuan recognized the name of the plank shop at a glance, and immediately pulled Du Hang over there excitedly. .

Taking Du Hang to the store in a hurry, the area of this specialty store is not small, the store is at least twice as big as the one Wei Xuan visited before, and there is a smaller one behind the store. The warehouse, although the inventory inside is not too much, but if all these things are transported back, it will definitely be enough for Wei Xuan to use! You can even leave a lot as spares.

Seeing these things, Wei Xuan heaved a long sigh of relief – at least his life this winter can be counted on.

The post-apocalyptic winter is difficult, not because they can’t find thick quilts and clothing, or wood for heating. The most uncomfortable thing about winter in the last days is that there is no heating.

People who were used to central heating and burning natural gas before the apocalypse, many people don’t even know how to start a fire without a lighter or natural gas after entering the apocalypse. In winter, even if there is no air leakage in those unheated houses, because there is no way to go out to get coal for heating, the efficiency of burning wood is too low, and the smell of smoke is very choking, so the first year of winter is simply called **** mode.

But fortunately, at least in the base, because there are a lot of residents assigned to each room, everyone thought of their own ways, and even moved the beds closer together to live together, and finally managed to survive. And because of the large number of people in the room, if something happened to someone because of the low temperature, others would be able to find out the problem immediately, which finally made the reduction of the number of people in each base in the severe winter cold not so serious.

Of course, I don’t know if there is a zombie virus in the snow that snows in winter? Every winter, some people inexplicably turn into zombies after one night. This has also led to the fact that even people living in the base and living with others will still subconsciously remain vigilant and guard against the people around them at any time.

The winter sun was not strong enough, so Wei Xuan felt grateful that God had not given up on him when he found a large number of batteries in this store. He can fully charge these batteries in advance when the autumn is high and clear, and then use solar panels to collect energy as much as possible to maintain daily consumption in late winter. If it is not enough, he can use the stored batteries to supplement it.

In this way, even if you use the electric heater a little extravagantly every day, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

If he is lucky, the sun is shining regularly enough for him to use it every day!

Wandering around the store, Wei Xuan confirmed that although some of the solar panels placed in the store as samples had collapsed due to the previous earthquake, the goods in the storage room at the back were no problem. Only after he breathed a sigh of relief, he began to take Du Hang to carry those things down and prepare to take them back.

There are a lot of things and they are very heavy, so heavy that the two of them need to go back and forth at least ten times to transport them back on foot.

But for the sake of the future, Wei Xuan decided to run as many times as possible to get these things back quickly, so as not to have any accidents later, if the buildings here are accidentally destroyed, then he will cry I am afraid that all the strength will be lost.

After lamenting again that the road conditions in the end of the world are difficult to walk, and that he does not have any mobile tools at hand, Wei Xuan began to carry these equipment without complaint. Although he could find some small cars from the nearby supermarkets, there was almost no flat ground to push the cars on the way there because of the collapse of the viaduct, so this time they had to rely on manpower to move slowly. Moved back slowly.

When a batch of things that needed to be taken away were transported and placed on the ground of the shop in front, the sky outside had completely darkened. Wei Xuan, who has been running around all day, decided to have dinner first, and tomorrow he will walk around the neighborhood to see what else he needs in the surrounding shops, and take them with him when he returns to deliver the things.

It was okay to deliver things this time, because they were dressed in a low-key manner and the streets were full of zombies wandering outside, so the actions of the two of them would not be eye-catching.

But when they go back, it can’t be so smooth – they will carry a lot of things with them, and if they go out during the day, who knows if there will be people in the middle and high-rise buildings on both sides of the road looking outside? If someone found out at that time, the other party would definitely be able to deduce that the two of them were not zombies!

Therefore, even if he wanted to move things back, he could only choose to go out late at night to minimize the possibility of being discovered.

They leaned against each other in a relatively small room and rested all night. In the early morning of the next day, Wei Xuan, who had had breakfast, took Du Hang and started to go out for a stroll, with the goal of living in the main building of the city.
