6. The end of the hegemon
"It's finally time to be in the city."
After walking for another half an hour, Lin Xuan finally stood under Rongcheng's welcome sign.
【Welcome to Rongcheng】
Looking at the welcome sign crawling with vines overhead, Lin Xuan showed a hint of a smile, he hadn't been here for a few years.
The rainstorm has slowly stopped, the water has slowly receded, and the back of the sign is the setting sun, and the gentle sunlight shines as if it is the entrance to heaven ahead.
Without the exhaust fumes and the factories with polluting gases, the beauty of the sun can finally bloom completely.
This catastrophe is only a human disaster, but it is a medicine for nature.
Squeak, squeak~
A few unknown insects were chirping in the weeds on the side of the road, and the environment was quiet and peaceful.
Of course, this has to exclude the abandoned cars and the zombies who wander around tirelessly hunting for food.
Along the way, Lin Xuan relieved a lot of tortured zombies, harvested a lot of mineral water and cigarettes, and his pockets were almost full.
Smack!
Lighting a cigarette to celebrate that he had finally arrived at his destination, Lin Xuan stepped on the glass shard and walked into the Rongcheng realm.
Because of the devastating earthquake three months ago, many unstable buildings collapsed, and the city was full of ruins and ruins.
There are lush vines climbing on the ruins, and I don't know where the nutrients come from, but they grow so luxuriantly in the city.
Roar!
There were also more zombies inside, and as soon as Lin Xuan stepped in, two zombies rushed out of the ruined mansion on the side of the road.
Lin Xuan didn't look at this, and directly pulled out the dagger stuck in his waist and threw it out.
Poof!
With a crisp sound, a running zombie fell down with a special dagger just thrown out at the center of his eyebrows.
There's one head left.
This is a child-turned-zombie, but it runs faster than an adult zombie, and I don't know why.
The fall of its companion did not frighten it, but instead ran faster.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly at this, and stretched out a hand to grab its little head.
Roar!
The little zombie frantically shook his two hands, but his arms were too short, and he couldn't reach the prey in front of him no matter how he struggled.
"Hehe, little thing."
Lin Xuan smiled faintly, flicked the cigarette ash with his other hand, and slowly exerted his strength.
Smack!
It's like a crushed egg, and the yolk and egg white inside splash out.
Bite!
Congratulations to the host for killing a normal zombie and getting a Feike razor.
"Huh? Shaver? ”
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he felt that his dog subsystem was becoming more and more interesting.
But he didn't manifest it, because he wasn't old enough to shave.
After letting go of the freed little zombie, Lin Xuan came to the other zombie and pulled out the special dagger inserted in the center of his eyebrows.
He wiped the zombie's clothes and inserted them back into the scabbard at his waist.
"Anyone?"
After looking around at the surrounding buildings, Lin Xuan shouted directly, hoping to find someone to come out and ask about the situation.
Unfortunately, no one responded, only a few zombies who were attracted by the sound.
Roar!
They're still so enthusiastic, and that's one of their biggest strengths.
Lin Xuan also appreciated them like this, so he personally gave rewards to each end.
And that reward is – liberation.
"Looks like there's no one."
shouted again, and seeing that no one responded to him, Lin Xuan shook his head and left.
After he left, an argument broke out in a room in a six-story rental house.
"Why didn't you let me respond just now, didn't you see that person was so powerful?"
A girl with hair like a chicken coop asked the man next to her angrily.
The man smiled bitterly when he heard this, and waited for the girl to be quiet before he spoke: "That person is powerful, but with his unscrupulous style, ordinary people like us are also looking for death if they follow him." ”
"That's better than waiting to die here!"
The girl was unconvinced and said, "And even if we don't go with him, we can ask him for some food." ”
"Well, my bad."
The man didn't seem to be good at arguing, sighed, shook his head, and walked back to the bed.
The room they live in is a single room with kitchen and bathroom, which is very common for couples to rent a room.
The chicken coop girl who spoke was his girlfriend, because of the habit of hoarding food, and she was still alive and well for three months after the disaster.
It's just that there is no way in and out, and there is not much food to stockpile, which is why he didn't argue with his girlfriend.
However, he did not regret what he had just done, because he saw with his own eyes that there was a woman in the building next door who asked for help, and was finally killed by the woman.
Even after more than a month, he still remembers the girl's screams.
The chicken nest girl also saw this scene, so she muttered a few words and didn't say much.
Three months ago, an earthquake suddenly poured out a red mist from a crack in the ground, and the whole world was instantly enveloped in this red mist.
Although people were a little panicked at first, they were still doing what they should do under the reassurance of the relevant departments.
But within a few days, a super-large flu spread all over the world, and those who got the flu were like crazy, biting people when they saw them, and they also carried a terrifying infection.
Many countries died in less than a day, and even a few great powers, even superpowers, fell one after another in a matter of days.
The remaining survivors can only find a place to hide, shiver and steal their lives.
Even the great ancient country of the East had to give an order to survive alone and wait for rescue when it was finally able to communicate.
After the order was given, all communication was cut off, and all that remained was the rustling of electricity from the phone to the cellphone.
At this time, the people were completely panicked, and an even more terrible disaster befell them.
In the season of calamity, the danger of the same kind is no less than that of the monsters, and when the locked beast is unleashed, the eternal night falls!
"Sleep, wait for help."
Thinking of all these days, the chicken nest girl didn't mention what happened just now.
"Yes, wait for rescue."
The man smiled and nodded, but tears flowed from his smile.
Will help come?
How long will it be?
When the girl saw her boyfriend crying, she also cried silently.
They didn't dare to cry out loud, because there were several zombies wandering outside the door, and the argument just now was only lip sync that the two of them could understand.
This disaster was even more serious than Lin Xuan thought, and the human race was already on the verge of extinction.
More than ninety percent of the world's people have become zombies, and the communication signal has been inexplicably cut off, and the country has existed in name only at this time.
All that's left is survival.
Difficult to survive.
It doesn't matter if it's a person, a family, or even a force.
That's their ultimate goal.
Whatever the process is for, it's all for that.
Because this is the end of the world, the end of the once high hegemon.
One carelessness is death!
