The early morning sun climbed up the railing covered with dead vines outside the round villa. Guo Rong opened his eyes, Han Yue's long eyelashes beside him moved slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and one hand grabbed Guo Rong's arm tightly, this girl had a nightmare again. Guo Rong looked loving, wrapped Han Yue in his arms gently, and kissed her forehead.

The departure time was set at nine o'clock in the morning, and the target was the town of Shigang, the closest town to the Yushan base. Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong met brain-eating zombies in this town, but they didn't expect the consequences to be so serious at that time. The brain-eating zombies attacked the Yushan base on a large scale, and after a fierce battle, almost all the troops were wiped out, leaving only the leader of the brain-eating zombies to slip away when he saw the situation.

A zombie with intelligence like this, and the ability to speak in a human-like voice, has never been seen anywhere else. This time he came back to Shigang Town, and Langchen was also very careful, for fear that there would be more brain-eating zombies left in Shigang Town, if that was the case, it would undoubtedly bring greater difficulties and challenges to this search for materials.

The members of the search team arrived in twos and threes, and finally all the members arrived at about half past eight, and everyone was fully armed and in good spirits. This time, the vehicle was a modified box truck, and at some point, the paint on the body was also painted from white to gray. The snow season has passed, and there is no snow on the roads, which is a good thing for this trip. If the road is covered with knee-high snow as before, it will be difficult to walk, let alone drive.

The six members of the search team checked their equipment and got into the car one after another after confirming that there was no problem, with Xu Haihai as the driver, Langchen sitting in the co-pilot, and the rest of the people sitting in the rear compartment.

Under everyone's eyes, as soon as the truck left the base and turned from the small road to the main road, Guo Rong hummed an inexplicable tune happily. When you leave the base, you will face danger directly, which is not something to be happy about for many people. But Guo Rong doesn't think so, and sometimes, he even misses the time when he was constantly running around before. Every day, every moment, pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, the sense of stimulation and depression.

The other three people in the carriage looked at Guo Rong with excitement on their faces, and they all looked at them with disdain. If it weren't for the familiarity, I really thought that the person in front of me was crazy.

The route from the Yushan base to Shigang Town is not complicated, Han Weijun drew a simple route for Xu Haihai before departure, plus Guo Rong who was sitting in the back to guide the way, and there were signs on the side of the road, all of which were very smooth to enter the boundary of Shigang Town. But what is strange is that there is not even half a zombie on the way, and the whole road is empty, which is too strange for a town with a large population in the post-apocalyptic world.

When the van entered the main road of Shigang Town, the streets and buildings on both sides of the town did not move at all. Everything is like being covered by this heavy snow, and then melting without a trace.

"It's a little too quiet in this town, isn't it?" Song Muyuan said cautiously.

Guo Rong carried the gun, opened the door, jumped out of the car and beckoned to a few people in the car: "Don't worry, we came back like this, now it's cleaner than before, except for that ghost, the zombies in this town seem to be gone." ”

Everyone will be skeptical, if it is really as Guo Rong said, the zombies in the town are gone, how can they encounter a monster like a brain-eating zombie. All the people in the car got off the car, and the purpose of their visit this time was very clear, that is, to go to the buildings in the town, move everything that could be eaten and used, move them to the car, and pull them back to the base.

The six of them were divided into two groups, and for the sake of safety, they didn't care about the efficiency of doing things, as long as they could get back to the base before dark. Don't look at Lang Chen's absent-minded and drowsy appearance on weekdays, the way he arranged it naturally has his reasons. For example, six people are divided into two groups, and each search is in one piece, and if you need to enter two buildings at the same time, you can only enter next to each other. If it is a large building with a single family, or if there are many floors, then the two groups of people also act in a division of labor, such as searching for the next floor.

It is the safest way to clean up compared to large buildings. Two groups of six people, three on each floor, can support in time if something really happens, and take care of each other.

After searching two restaurants to no avail, Langchen looked at the huge supermarket chain billboard on the roof of the building, planning to try his luck there. After Guo Rong knew his intentions, he almost jumped up and shook his head again and again: "Brother Lang, Master Lang, it's better not to go to that place, it has already been looted inside, and there is not even a bottle of water." ”

Song Muyuan heard something meaning, and laughed twice: "Brother Guo, is there a nest of brain-eating zombies." ”

"Go, go, go." Guo Rong was about to kick his ass, but Song Muyuan flexibly flashed to the side. "There's really no value in going there, and last time I and the hood took a few cigarettes." It's just that although he said this, he still had palpitations in his heart, after all, when he encountered a talking zombie, the psychological impact on people was not so quickly recovered.

Langchen looked at Guo Rong and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he said, "Since it's like you said, then let's go somewhere else." ”

Guo Rong was relieved, and secretly patted his chest, it wasn't him bragging, if the other people saw the piles of corpses there, they wouldn't be scared and call their fathers.

It took most of the morning to almost rummage through the shops along the street, but the results were not ideal. The mineral water can probably make up three boxes, and some expired and spoiled food was not taken, so I found some biscuits that didn't look too bad and put them in half a cardboard box. Song Muyuan finally found a box of unopened chocolate peanut bars in the corner of the warehouse of a convenience store, but after opening the package, these things were like melted wax, and he tasted them himself and immediately spit them out. This box of chocolate peanut bars has deteriorated to the point where it doesn't look good, and if you really eat it, you won't be able to diarrhea for a few days.

Fortunately, Xu Haihai and Wang Wu found a few bags of rice in a restaurant, although it was a little moldy, but they carried it back to the base to dry it, and washed it a little cleaner when cooking, and they could barely cope with it. In addition, some flour and vermicelli were also carried to the trucks.

When they met Han Dong at the beginning, they also searched most of the places, but they didn't get any results. And then because of Han Dong's guidance and selfless contributions, he returned with a full load. This time, Guo Rong didn't expect to have such good luck, and it would be good to be able to load the van with half a load of supplies before dark, so that the Yushan base could last for a while.

Before leaving, He Miaomiao prepared lunch for all six of them, and she didn't know if she also didn't expect Guo Rong and them to bring anything back. Everyone sat on the side of the car, ate some rice balls and flour cakes with mineral water, and patrolled around Shigang Town from time to time.

Throughout the morning, there was really no trace of zombies, whether it was talking loudly, or playing and laughing, the whole town was dead and silent as if it had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

After a quick meal, the six of them continued their afternoon work. Langchen suggested going to the direction of the residential area to search, in a town like Shigang Town, how many local residents accounted for, there would be some food at home, not to mention anything else, there would definitely be rice and the like. The rest of the people, except for Guo Rongzhi, have no opinions.

This is not because Guo Rong is timid and afraid, if he changes to another place, don't say anything about mutated night demons and clawed zombies, he doesn't even tremble with his legs. If everyone can see that he was scared out of the psychological shadow by the brain-eating zombies, he wouldn't laugh off his big teeth.

The residential area of Shigang Town, in fact, is next to the shops along the street, this town is not large, the main road also spans the center of the road, and the rest of the places are basically passages that must be left empty between buildings, enough for two cars to walk side by side.

Wang Wu and Xu Haihai, one of them found a small board truck from the shop, and dragged it on the concrete floor like a tank with a chain off, and the sound was almost heard throughout Shigang Town. Song Huagang, who didn't like to talk at first, was worried that the loud noise would attract corpses, but the two and a half cars dragged back and forth a few times, and there was no movement, so he relaxed his mind a little.

Although the town of Shigang is small, it is very close to the big city, but it lacks some unnecessary things. Guo Rong had planned to find a store that sold outdoor goods and get some equipment for everyone to go back, but he turned to a shop and there were only two small stores selling sporting goods. As early as a few decades ago, online shopping swept the world, and many offline brands have changed their models, which has also caused a great impact on physical merchants.

It is often said that no matter how the world changes, as long as there are people, the business of clothing, food, housing and transportation will never be completed. No matter how the business model changes, such as supermarkets, restaurants, and clothing stores, every year someone withdraws and someone comes in. This is also something that survivors of the apocalypse should be thankful for, if there are no offline stores, I don't know how many more people will starve to death.

It was not until about 2:40 p.m. that the six of them completed today's small goal and loaded half a cart of supplies. Everyone is glad that in a country with a booming population, the rationing of life can still be so good that production will not stop and most people will go hungry.

However, in the early days of the virus outbreak, the people who ran away either took the town's savings with them or destroyed them, and almost lost them. A town like Shigang Town, at most, has been searched this time, and there is no need to come back the second time.

Langchen looked at the time, and then looked at the compartment of the van, maybe a little sorry, the first time he came out as a leader to search for supplies, there was no great result, and he was unwilling. He looked at the energetic people who were smoking, and said, "We still have a little time, the sea water will drive the car, let's go to the other end of the town to look for it." ”

Xu Haihai extinguished the cigarette butt and jumped into the car without saying a word, while the rest of the people followed on foot.
