This night, Zhang Zhao slept very deeply.

When he woke up, it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning, and Guo Rong handed him a bottle of water: "The next journey doesn't seem to be easy to walk." ”

After a night's rest and enlightenment with Li Zijing, Lu Yang's mood was much better. Everyone woke up at six o'clock, and seeing Zhang Zhao sleeping deeply, they didn't wake him up. According to Lu Yang, there are still many survivors in H City, and everyone occupies some advantageous positions and goes their own way. Now most of the roads leading to the outside world in H City are blocked. And these private teams are constantly cleaning up the zombies in the city.

The population of H City is more than that of N City, not to mention how many zombies there are, how can some ordinary people without weapons clean up the zombies? Even the original army did not have such strength, except in the case of weapons of mass destruction. Perhaps, these small groups just want to clear some space that can accommodate survival. Without food and the ability to regenerate resources, this is not a long-term solution.

According to the plan, if nothing else, it will take about half a month to set off from N City and arrive at the camp of the East China Sea Islands. But as it stands, it is impossible to do it in such a short period of time. The roads are heavily congested, and with all these factors, it seems that one step at a time can only be counted.

Now in the team, there are Zhang Zhao, Guo Rong, Li Yan, Song Qing and Han Yue. There are also Li Zijing's father and daughter, who joined later, and these 7 people were the first to escape from N City. Then I met He Miaomiao, and the two girls under her, Qianqian and Xiaoxi. plus Donna, who met the day before yesterday, there are 11 people in total. Now that things have developed to this point, it seems that Lu Yang can't leave him behind. Then the team size increases to 12 people, and the more people there are, the more trouble there will be. The consumption of food, the course of action.

In fact, there are only four effective combat forces in the team, although Li Yan and others are still slowly adapting, but the time spent is immeasurable. Ordinary zombies move slowly, in fact, as long as they have enough courage, even if a teenager has a weapon, it doesn't take much effort to kill it. Zombies themselves aren't scary, as long as you're fast enough and ruthless enough. The most terrible thing is that when there is a zombie standing in front of you, you don't have the courage to face it, you don't have the courage to kill him.

During this period of time, Zhang Zhao has been exercising, although it is not a formal intensive training, but every day in terms of physical fitness and knife skills, he will also spend some time. The dangers experienced so far are not enough to break the whole team apart. What if you encounter a more powerful horde of corpses in the future? Even if it is to escape, it will take a lot of physical strength. The most gratifying thing is the little girl Linlin. She already knows some things at her age, and Li Zijing usually instills in her some awareness of the danger of zombies. So, in many cases, despite her fear, she didn't shout. She knew that these monsters killed her mother, that these monsters could eat people, that she couldn't get the attention of monsters, that she knew that she was hiding, and that was enough for a girl of six or seven years old.

On the contrary, the biggest trouble in the team now is the girl named Qianqian and Lu Yang. The two of them are not strong-willed, and if they encounter a zombie that suddenly appears, they are estimated to make some abnormal moves. Screaming, for example, is a very deadly act.

"Brother Li, it seems that if you want to reach your destination, you can only pass through the city." I learned some news from Lu Yang, and now the roads in H City are blocked by obstacles. And more zombies were led out of the city.

Li Zijing nodded and said, "I don't know who came up with the solution, they wanted to empty the zombies in the city, but they lured the zombies outside." With a sad look on his face, he continued, "If that's the case, it would be a great disaster if all the zombies gathered together and rushed back to the city. ”

Zombies have no intelligence, but they have the instinct of a beast, which is to seek more blood. This method is barely feasible to implement on a small scale, but if such a large-scale group of corpses really surrounds the city, then if one day, break through this pocket, the people in the city will really become turtles in the urn, and it will be difficult to escape.

Donna looked at the sky and said half-loudly: "The zombies in the Central Plains, after destroying the city, will only spread in all directions, if there is no more powerful fortification, any city will fall, and the zombie army is unstoppable, either flee or die." ”

Flee or die. This sentence is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. It's not cold words, it's reality.

The survivor team is about to be transferred, and it is estimated that it will rain today. Although it is relatively safe in the eighteenth middle school, it is not the best choice, according to Lu Yang, about five kilometers from here, there is a shopping mall to open. Just a week before the opening, the city was in chaos. The population in the suburbs is relatively scattered, and the communities around the shopping malls are not settled much, which is undoubtedly a better place for Zhang Zhao and them than schools.

It took about an hour or so, and I finally arrived at the shopping mall that Lu Yang said. The mall is surrounded by high-rise buildings, some of which are still under construction, and the air seems to be full of ground before the end of the world. Occasionally, zombies wander, and the vehicle chooses to avoid, and the zombies chase for a short distance and stop chasing.

The whole area still seems relatively deserted, which is more reassuring. If there are a lot of zombies here, then you can only choose to leave, if there are other survivors, it is estimated that the mall will also be almost scraped.

Zhang Zhao was the first to get out of the car, followed by Guo Rong, Li Yan and Xiaoxi. He lit a cigarette, looked up at the huge building in front of him, and sighed: "It should have been a situation where people are crowded, but now it has become such a deserted place, investors can't think of it, right?" ”

Guo Rong tightened his sword and said with a smile: "Who still has the life to worry about money, let's go." ”

Lu Yang didn't get out of the car for a long time, no matter how persuaded and cynical others were, he didn't get out of the car even if he was killed. Guo Rongke didn't have such good patience, walked back to the car, and said coldly: "You have to work when you eat, just to explore the way, and it's not to tell you to die, if you don't go down, you will be beaten and thrown here." ”

Looking at Guo Rong's vicious expression, Lu Yang's face was like a pig's liver, and he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. Under all kinds of struggles, Lu Yang slowly walked out of the car door, and Guo Rong casually threw a steel bar at him, but he almost didn't catch it. Looking at his clumsy appearance, Zhang Zhao was also helpless, he just hadn't experienced too many things, and he couldn't let go of it. Unlike their group, although it was only a little more than a month, they escaped death many times, and all aspects have changed.

A group of five people groped around the mall and finally found a fire ladder, Guo Rong took the lead and climbed up first. Feeling that there was no danger, he beckoned to everyone. Then several people went upstairs and climbed in through a window.

The mall has four floors, the first floor is basically for clothing and cosmetics, the second and third floors are full of entertainment facilities in addition to clothing, and the fourth floor is full of restaurants. The window they entered happened to be connected to a safety exit, and as soon as they entered, they felt cold.

The silence of the whole mall was terrifying, and you could hear the echo if you were a little heavier. Since there are no department stores and supermarkets in this mall, there is not much hope for food. Everybody hardly had to spare a corner and collect food and drinking water. I have been busy for more than an hour, and I have basically searched all the places that can be searched.

"Me, can we go?" Lu Yang carried a bag full of food, and hurried back to the car, perhaps for him, it was much safer in the car than here. Everyone has been crowded in a depressing environment for a long time, and it is rare to have such a place for them to go wild to their heart's content, and no one wants to go back so early.

"Let's go? Where to go? Guo Rong said, "I just can't leave for a while, there is no food in this place, and there are all other facilities, so it's quite good as a temporary foothold." He laughed a few times, ran to a shop that sold spinning, and threw himself into bed.

"It's been a long time since I've slept in such a soft bed, ah, it's so comfortable." Guo Rong is a monkey, as long as he is released, he can make trouble all day. Seeing him keep rolling on the big bed, Zhang Zhao said: "Find a way to go downstairs and open the door, let Brother Li drive the car in, we will live here for the time being." ”

The exits of this mall are locked, and ordinary people don't come here, and there are relatively few traces of zombies, so this environment is safer than anywhere else at the moment.

A few people walked to the exit closest to where they parked and followed the stopped elevator to the first floor. Then Guo Rong found tools and spent a lot of effort to open the door. Guo Rong waved his hand to Li Zijing and motioned for them to drive the car in.

Li Yan and Xiaoxi piled up all the things they had collected in a sporting goods store, and then happily went to look for clothes.

"You haven't been here for so long, we almost sent someone in to look for you, thinking something was wrong." Donna didn't look very happy.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "In the past, I didn't have time to go to the mall because I was busy with work, but now that I have this opportunity, of course I have to go around." When everyone heard him say this, a smile appeared on their faces for the first time in a long time.

There was no need to sleep out tonight, and everyone was very happy. Song Qing and Han Yue took Linlin to find something fun, while the others went to collect some useful things. For example, in this sporting goods store next to it, you can find some protective equipment. There are also shops that specialize in daily necessities, and of course, in addition to cosmetics, there are many things that are useful, such as toilet water, sunscreen, etc.

Li Zijing parked the car so that he could drive away in time when there was an emergency. Zhang Zhao handed him a cigarette and said, "Let's live here for the time being, and after we're tidy up, we'll go out tomorrow to have a look." "In any case, it's not the safest place to stay in any one place, and at the moment, the safest place is the shelter camp in the East China Sea Islands. But at present, the whole city is closed, and where to get out of the city, you still need to explore the way to know.

Li Zijing nodded, now there are more and more members of the team, unlike when he first escaped, there is a girl with such a young grade by his side, not only has to try his best to hide and escape, but also has to spend more energy to take care of Linlin. The situation is much better now, Linlin is close to almost everyone along the way, as long as he does his duty, he doesn't need to bother to take her at all.

After the plane incident, Donna didn't have time to bring a lot of her original equipment. She found a set of sports protective equipment, including knee pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, gloves, protective glasses and face shields. After Zhang Zhao saw it, he felt weird, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Come on, everyone, good stuff." Guo Rong's loud voice came from the mall, which surprised everyone. He Miaomiao almost broke out in a cold sweat, and scolded in a low voice: "What the hell, this guy!" Then he hurried to stop it. Fortunately, Guo Rong only screamed twice, otherwise the nearby zombies would definitely be attracted over.

Everyone walked to the store called by Guo Rong one after another, and when everyone arrived at the door, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
