Chapter 179: Gathering Supplies
The patients outside the factory may be more accurately called zombies. The zombies outside the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info, although dense, the speed of running is not fast, which is equivalent to ordinary people trotting. Moreover, they stumble when they run.
The figure in the factory calmed down somewhat. No one secretly hid in the depths of the factory like Du Shen. Although they had been organized on an ad hoc basis, they had been informed of the imminent withdrawal of the government and the army. At this time, the movement of the zombies is not agile. Everyone naturally wanted to escape quickly and find the evacuated team as soon as possible, so as not to be trapped in the zombie-dense city.
Du Shen hid behind the door of the production workshop. He waited boredly. It wasn't until he couldn't hear any shouting and running that Du Shen walked out of the workshop.
The factory compound has indeed been occupied by zombies. At the gate, in the courtyard, the shadows of zombies are sparsely scattered. A few zombies were only a few meters away from Du Shen. Two of them actually had blood at the corners of their mouths, as if they had eaten the living.
The eye sockets of several zombies were still red, but the entire eyeballs were white, as if covered with a layer of flesh membrane. The nearest zombies twisted their heads towards Du Shen and stared blankly for a moment. Gradually, several zombies strode towards Du Shen, faster and faster, and began to show their teeth and claws, and let out a strange roar.
Du Shen frowned. There are quite a few zombies in the yard, and there are even more in the city outside. Du Shen is certainly not afraid of fighting, but the fight is endless. Du Shen thought about ways to avoid the war.
Du Shen thought about it and slowly retreated into the workshop, so as not to let anyone notice his abnormal behavior. A few zombies in the vicinity naturally chased Du Shen and rushed into the factory. The other zombies who were far away also seemed to have found Du Shen one after another, and slowly gathered over.
In the factory, Du Shen first shrouded himself with elemental flames. The zombies who were originally chasing Du Shen suddenly stopped. They seemed very confused, twisted their heads to look left and right, and cocked their noses to sniff.
For a long time, more than a dozen zombies were pacing slowly in the factory, but they didn't seem to be able to see Du Shen. Du Shen thought about it, retracted the elemental flame, and released the shadow dragon to cover the surface of his body. Because Du Shen switched protection, the zombies had a brief commotion. When the shadow dragon seemed to cover Du Shen's entire body surface with a thin black veil, the zombies collectively quieted down again.
Du Shen slowly walked up to a zombie. The zombies turned a blind eye to him. Du Shen pushed the zombies hard. The zombie staggered back, twisting its head in confusion, staring at a pair of white dead fish eyes to look left and right.
Du Shen walked up to the zombie and punched the zombie's forehead. "Bang!" The zombie sat back and slowly got up, still as if he couldn't see Du Shen.
Du Shen tried again, beating, dismembering, and dissecting more than a dozen zombies in the factory. He slowly converged the power of the shadow dragon to see the zombie's perception. After a busy job, Du Shen felt that the zombies' sense of sight and smell was seriously degraded, and their sense of hearing was sharper than that of ordinary people, but they mainly relied on some unknown sense to identify the target.
In order to shield the zombies' perception, the shadow dragon must cover Du Shen's body surface like a light veil. In this way, it is naturally easy to attract the attention of others. Du Shen has always suspected that the emergence of the zombie virus can be done by the natives of non-fertile Saturn. In order to avoid exposure, Du Shen collected the food in the factory into the crystal dust and began to look for clothing that could cover the appearance of the body.
At this time, Xiangling City is in the late summer and the temperature is cool. Du Shen was going to find a shirt with a hat and a pair of gloves. The zombies broke out, and the order was estimated to have been completely chaotic, and Du Shen acted unscrupulously.
He violently broke the door and locked it, searching for clothing. Along the way, Du Shen collected all kinds of valuable materials into crystal dust.
Soon, Du Shen found the right hat and gloves. He covered himself tightly. Du Shen first collected the materials in the production workshop and warehouse into the crystal dust. He went to the yard again and collected the food from the truck.
In the past, people either used conveyor belts, forklifts, or carried directly on their shoulders to carry food into trucks. At this time, Du Shen gently touched the piles of food with his hands, and instantly collected the food into the crystal dust with easy thoughts. All he consumed was a small amount of elemental energy.
After collecting all the high-value items in the factory, Du Shen walked to the door and faced the trucks crowded into a pile. He hesitated briefly and then gave up. Although the crystal dust is enough to store all the trucks completely, Du Shen is worried that the monitoring of the nearby operation, or the presence of high-altitude monitoring, will detect his abnormality. So he pretended to be an ordinary person and got out of the door.
Along the way, Du Shen's performance is actually not ordinary at all. The road was littered with zombies, but all the zombies turned a blind eye to Du Shen. Even if Du Shen knocked the zombies around him crookedly.
However, Du Shen really didn't bother to hide this abnormality. He had already come up with a few excuses.
Du Shen walked slowly, observing the purpose of the buildings along the way. As long as he thinks that the materials inside are worth collecting, Du Shen will break in. All kinds of food, clothes, new cars for sale indoors, all kinds of equipment, steel, oil drums, gasoline generators, etc...... Du Shen went all the way and collected all kinds of messy things.
Of course, Du Shen's actions will also meet others. For outdoor encounters, there is no need for Du Shen to pay attention. Everyone else is busy fleeing the city. As for the people encountered indoors, Du Shen of course gave a detailed introduction to the situation. When the owner of the property hears that the zombies are currently sluggish, they will become more and more agile in the future. The government and the army have already withdrawn from the city. After the owner of the property investigated, he left the house in a hurry and fled outside the city. Du Shen mostly helped the property owners and then stayed behind to collect the discarded supplies.
Accompanied by faint, intermittent gunfire sounds. Du Shen walked around a large area of the city, collecting materials piecemeal, and gradually became impatient. He decided to pick the big targets. The larger the warehouses and factories in the city, the cleaner they are by the government and the military. Du Shen decided to go to places like hypermarkets and wholesale markets.
Du Shen deliberately found a few detailed paper maps and went straight to the goal. The results were mixed. Some supermarkets and stores have been almost emptied, while others have remained largely untouched. Du Shen cautiously destroyed the monitoring equipment and collected the supplies behind closed doors.
This busy work, Du Shen bumped into the retreating team several times on the street. They are large and small, some are guarded by soldiers, and some are formed entirely spontaneously by citizens. For a strange character like Du Shen who wears a hood, a mask, and gloves. Not many people care. Everyone was busy running for their lives. However, some people saw Du Shen's strict protection and thought it was for the infection of the virus. Many passers-by were inspired and wrapped themselves tightly.
The area of Xiangling City is not small. After Du Shen finished shopping around the selected target, the sky was basically dark. The city is largely deserted, and most places are pitch black, except for some street lights and facilities controlled by automated systems.
After dark, Du Shen not only did not stop collecting supplies, but was like a fish in water. With the help of darkness and the cover of the shadow dragon, he let go of his speed and directly climbed over the wall or broke through the roof of the house to infiltrate. After a busy job, Du Shen collected a lot of materials.
Du Shen did not go into ordinary houses to rummage, and basically patronized various shops. In the wee hours of the morning, he stopped in a small supermarket. The city's electricity and water supply systems have not yet been paralyzed. Du Shen turned on the TV and kept changing the channel. Most of the TV stations have stopped broadcasting, but the state-level TV station belonging to Xiangling City is still broadcasting programs. In the program, the announcer repeatedly introduced the characteristics and dangers of the virus, as well as precautions. It also illustrates the government's response.
Du Shenzheng was watching the show while eating the food that came earlier. The rolling door of the small supermarket suddenly "banged" loudly, and Du Shen was startled.
As soon as the door rang, several panicked voices came from outside the door: "Is there anyone inside?" Please, let us in. ”
Du Shen thought about it and walked to the door. He pulled out the rebar that he used to make the latch and pulled up the roller shutter slightly. As soon as the iron door was opened, several figures rolled in one after another. Du Shen leaned over and saw that there was no one outside, but a large number of zombies were rushing towards him. Du Shen hurriedly pulled down the iron door and re-inserted it.
"Bang, bang......" As soon as the iron door fell, zombies rushed to the door and knocked on it. Fortunately, zombies have a limited IQ and don't know how to pull doors, so they can only hit and slap indiscriminately.
Du Shen looked at the five figures lying on the ground panting violently. The five men were sweating profusely and exhausted. Du Shen walked back to his seat and picked up the hot snack to eat. If there is no one next to Du Shen, he only cares about eating and watching TV.
