Chapter 235: Extinction, Lonely City

Guo Kai looked out the window and could vaguely see a corner of the coast, where countless zombies were swaying and walking. It was the second day he had arrived at the Palm Cove Resort, and after escaping from the base of the tunnel, he had been delayed in the city for a while because of the zombies everywhere. During this time, he could not close his eyes almost every night, as long as he closed his eyes, those familiar people and things would appear like paintings. Liu Man, Sister Li, Cai Xiaofu, Zhang Jun...... Sometimes it seems that you can still hear their voices talking and hear them laughing. Only in the end, they became a blur of flesh and blood and beckoned to him.

Death is not the most terrible thing for Guo Kai, and he himself can't figure out why these things have been haunted in his mind and lingered.

Someone knocked on the door and brought them lunch, which was quite rich, at least not a single dish. Since coming to Palm Cove Resort, the person in charge of the hotel has been very welcoming to them, providing not only a comfortable place to stay, but also a hot meal. It's just that they seem to be avoiding some questions consciously or unconsciously, and they are also restricting their activities.

The Palm Cove Resort was a place where he had stayed for a long time after the zombie virus outbreak, and everything here was familiar to him, including the secret he reminded Guo Rong of after the hotel. It's just that when he wanted to look again, there were already guards blocking them. Except for the zombies roaming around the base, everything is normal here, and all areas have been cleared.

The person in charge called Wang Ying, Guo Kai still has some memories, since he came here, although he has only met twice, he has already smelled a trace of strangeness. He also directly asked Guo Rong where they were, but the other party only said to leave and told him that he didn't know where to go. Including the other people in the base, there was a hint of concern in the eyes of them. Originally, he wanted to leave, but they seemed to be very happy that they stayed here for a long time, and that was the meaning of the conversation.

It will be impossible to leave for a while, the tunnel base has fallen, and there are very few things they have brought out, judging from the current situation, the surrounding materials are estimated to have been almost searched, and if you want to leave, you have to bring some materials, and you can walk empty-handed.

After Chu Fei finished eating the food in the lunch box, he went to sort out the backpack he was carrying. As soon as the vehicle enters the Palm Cove Resort, it is driven to the parking lot by a special person to take care of it, except for a few essential things, the rest is almost in the car. There were people who wanted to unload the things on their cars before, but they were scolded by their comrade-in-arms Hong Xiong to avoid it.

The four of them were crammed into a room, and although they were free on the surface, no matter where they went, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them secretly, making people feel uncomfortable. In this case, I simply stayed in the room and didn't have to worry about these people.

The four people who escaped from the tunnel base are Guo Kai, Chu Fei, Hong Xiong, and Dong Yi, and everyone doesn't mention what happened that day these days, as if they can avoid it.

Most of the area at the Palm Cove Resort Flower Room has been cleared for vegetable cultivation. Although the temperature is very low now, it can still maintain a certain temperature in the greenhouse, which is suitable for growing some fast-growing vegetables. The rest of the places with low use value did not spend energy to sort out.

When I was evacuated from the Xiangcheng base, I brought a lot of seeds, and after planting them for a while, they had already begun to germinate. Every day, there are fixed responsible people to come to sort out, it seems that the whole base is slowly getting better, in everyone's hearts, the glory of the original Xiangcheng base is just around the corner.

Wei Mei is a middle-aged woman in her fifties, a native of Xiangcheng, and she and her family were among the first to flee to the Xiangcheng base after the zombie virus broke out. After experiencing countless dangers, their family of three is alive and well, which is undoubtedly because of the care of various immortals for her.

Three generations of their family have been farmers, and they also did a lot of farm work when they were young, although they later moved to the city, they often planted fruits and vegetables in the garden. She is happy with the current arrangement, doing what she will do, and does not need to face danger. She just wants to do the things at hand well, live a comfortable life, and when she has the opportunity in the future, she can introduce her son to a partner in the base, maybe it can really be achieved and a good life can be restored.

During the lunch break, Wei Mei returned to the room, feeling extremely tired today, and she was drowsy as soon as she stuck to the bed. His husband and son have not yet returned, and she can take advantage of this time to rest. The plantation area converted from the flower house is not very large, and there is not much work every day, so she has enough time.

Her right palm was wrapped in a layer of gauze, and when she was working in the morning, she encountered something strange, and a small cut was made in her palm, but she didn't pay attention to it. This kind of small injury, for her at this age, even needs to be medicated, just find some bandages to stop the bleeding.

However, things were not as simple as she thought, and when she fell asleep, the wound on the palm of her hand changed. What was originally just a slight scratch gradually expanded, and the blood that had stopped turned from red to black. What happened in the flower room kept repeating itself in her dreams like a movie.

The untidy area of the flower room is overgrown with strange plants, and although some people think it is strange, the plants in other parts of the Palm Cove Resort are in dilapidation due to the season, but this place is unusually luxuriant.

When Wei Mei was about to leave work, she saw a strange small ball growing on the vines of the shelf as she passed through the isolated walkway. Out of curiosity, she wanted to reach out and touch it, but just as she touched the small ball, suddenly the ball bloomed and slashed directly from her palm. The ball cracked in the middle, with thin teeth as sharp as a knife inside, and the stem of the plant that connected the ball writhed like a life.

Wei Mei's hand hurt, and she scolded her mother in her heart, and picked up a kettle from the side to smash the small round ball into a cake. Seeing that the strange plant no longer moved, she left the flower room in anger.

Ji Jie came home from a shift change and happened to meet his father Ji Zhonghan carrying two bottles of wine, walking on the road with a spring face, and when asked, it turned out to be rewarded by Chen Hua, who managed the materials. You must know that Chen Hua is Wang Ying's life-long brother, and if he gets his praise, then the days at the resort hotel base will be better in the future. It was originally a tourist resort, and there were countless kinds of liquor, but in the first few months, it was suddenly stocked, and ordinary people can no longer drink as much as they want on weekdays.

The father and son happily returned to the room, ready to have a good drink while they had not been alive since the beginning of this afternoon. Ji Zhonghan opened a bottle of wine and looked for it for a while.

"It's weird, I remember that there were two packets of peanuts, and I didn't want to eat them last time." Ji Zhonghan scratched his head, and couldn't remember where the things were left.

In desperation, Ji Zhonghan could only tiptoe open the bedroom door, and saw his wife Wei Mei lying on the bed sleeping soundly, but he didn't dare to disturb. Just as he turned around and was about to go out, Wei Mei behind him suddenly coughed a few times.

"Ah, old woman, are you awake? Did you see the two packets of peanuts that Lao Zhang gave me last time? Ji Zhonghan walked to the bed, the curtains were closed, and he could only watch Wei Mei panting in a daze.

"What's wrong with you? People are uncomfortable? Ji Zhonghan thought that his wife was coughing because she was unwell and had phlegm in her throat, so she sat on the edge of the bed and helped her smooth her back.

Wei Mei trembled a few times, grabbing Ji Zhonghan's clothes and trying to hold them up, if she was uncomfortable and slept in a daze, she would not be able to slow down for a while. Ji Zhonghan helped Wei Mei up, and when he saw that she didn't reply, he thought it was because he was sulking after a few words of fighting last night, hehe laughed twice, and said softly: "Hey, you said that we have lived for most of our lives, and it is not cost-effective for you to be angry about this, right?" ”

"Hey, don't make a fuss, what are you doing? The kids are still outside. Wei Mei still didn't answer, just hugged his neck and sniffed and gnawed. Ji Zhonghan also couldn't help it, he cupped Wei Mei's cheek, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Old woman, what's wrong with you, your face is so cold." ”

A ray of light came in through the window, just shining on Wei Mei's pale face, her lips kept shaking, and her closed eyes opened violently, and they were gray.

The cosy Palm Cove Resort Hotel erupted into a scream again, raising people's nerves. There were people running into the building, there were battle guards, and there were people watching the excitement. Subsequently, the screams continued, and the resort base became a pot of porridge for a while.

The originally pure world was finally pierced open by the film that separated it from the apocalyptic world, like a pool of stagnant water being thrown into countless sand and stones. Wang Ying organized the personnel to clean up the resistance, but this sudden disaster seemed to be repeating the tragedy of Wuhe Town.

The riot that broke out from Wei Mei's family infected with the zombie virus is spreading rapidly, and those who were bitten have evolved more rapidly than the zombies they have encountered in the past. Only an hour has passed, and dozens of people in the base are infected and crazy, chasing the people around them and biting constantly.

Someone fled into the flower house, and inexplicably turned into zombies and ran out of it, blocking back those who were running in this direction.

Wang Ying stood on a high place, looking at the people fleeing for their lives, and sat weakly on the ground. All of this, like a nightmare, came and went. The corpses on the coast also tore a hole in the defense line, and this group of wooden zombies, as if they had made an agreement with this disaster, finally exposed their true nature because of hunger.

Countless zombies rushed into the defense line, filling the entire hotel area, making it impossible to tell if it was because of the riot inside or because the corpses on the periphery had dealt a fatal blow to the base.

Someone jumped into a cliff crying out due to excessive fright, someone ended his life with a gun before being torn to shreds, someone rushed into the crowd with gasoline cans in his arms.

The paradise in people's hearts becomes purgatory in a single breath.
