Chapter 169: A Barren City
……………………………………………………………………………………
"Is it exactly what we thought it was......"
Carl's heart sank, and he frowned, looking at the dilapidated buildings, it was not difficult to think that many of the things inside had decayed or even disappeared.
Standing here, he even wondered if he had traveled back in time to the 80s of the last century, where the facilities were dilapidated to a miserable state.
It is also questionable whether enough supplies can be found before dark.
"Let's go inside the store and see if there's anything we can collect." Constance said suddenly, gesturing to a nearby shop.
"It's fine."
By noon, everyone had only collected a can, and their luck was so bad that they couldn't even eat a full meal.
The original pride and ambition before departure have completely disappeared in the face of facts.
He looked up at the shop's signboard, which was very old and complemented most of the buildings in the old town.
To put it simply, it's a small supermarket.
"Rotten eggs, rotten fish, rotten apples, rotten chocolate...... Alas. ”
Carl covered his nose and shook his head in disappointment, he didn't expect that a supermarket of this size didn't have any fresh food, it was so poor that it was miserable.
"Did you find anything over there?" He had already asked the people in the distance.
"Yes."
"Found what?"
"A few maggots."
“……”
"Okay...... When I didn't say. ”
Can't even they find anything?
It's really unlucky......
Carl shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, unable to stop sighing.
"I found it! I found it! ”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came.
Carl glanced over and saw that it was Ellie shouting, holding up a can of canned fruit and smiling happily.
"Where did you find it?" He asked curiously.
"Brother Carl, I found it under those shelves." Ellie told her truth.
As he spoke, he pointed to a place that no one had thought of.
It's there!
Karl's pupils shrank and he gasped.
I didn't even notice that place!?
Maybe there will be unexpected surprises in those places.
At this point, he hurriedly untied his backpack, put it aside, and then lay on the ground and looked around.
……………………………………………………………………………………
After a while, the first result was achieved.
I saw that under a shelf, he found a can of canned beef, which seemed to be intact and should be able to swallow.
"Guys, try lying on the ground and see if there are any cans under the shelves, maybe we'll find a lot of surprises in such an inconspicuous place."
"Really?"
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, but without hesitation, they immediately did so, and they didn't waste much time anyway.
If there were supplies, it would be a great joy for all.
The crowd really needs some food to boost their morale, otherwise it will not be a good situation to continue to be decadent.
"I found it, it's a canned cod."
"I found it, too, and it's a can of kimchi."
"I found the same thing, a bottle of mineral water."
“……”
Everyone had different gains, and everyone found something quite rich.
At least make sure that the food is enough tonight, and you don't have to worry about starving at night.
But if that's all there is to it, or not?? Enough, it will take at least two days for them to return to the colony.
They need to prepare enough food to consume for two days, so that they are done, otherwise, it will only be a flash in the pan, and it will be shit luck after all.
However, it is clear that the luck of the crowd is not bad, and they have collected enough food for today and tomorrow.
"I haven't found any food, I don't have it here, it's empty."
Karl stood up and said lightly.
"I don't have any food here, maybe the last food in this shop has been looted by us."
"You're right, we've completely scooped this place, and we don't even have a single mouse." Konstan shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Is that so? That's really bad news......"
"It's okay, at least for now, we don't have to worry about it, we don't have food for tonight."
After making sure that the surrounding area had been completely looted, the group left the place.
Back on the street, the crowd did not move forward for the time being, and the group looked up at the sky.
"Is it already two o'clock in the afternoon? It's getting dark, so we're going to have to move a little faster, and we're going to have some time to find a safe place to rest around. Carl looked at the watch on his wrist and said with a solemn face.
The top of the head has gradually been dyed with a trace of dim yellow, looking crumbling, as if it will fall at any time, everyone's hearts can't help but be clouded, and their faces have begun to color.
Each of them knew what it meant and knew very well what dangers they would face if they couldn't prepare for it and find a safe place to rest before it got dark.
"Let's go, hopefully we'll be able to finish all the work at hand before dark." Constance sighed slowly, his gaze into the distance, as if he could pierce through the void.
He could feel that there were a lot of things watching them in those dark areas, don't think too much, it must be ghosts, and only they will stare at a person all the time, not even for a moment, as if they are maggots attached to the bones, extremely difficult.
Once the sun sets, I am afraid that they will be the first to rush out and kill these humans, and nearby, it seems that there is no human being, then the first target must be them.
"Do you feel those things?"
"They're ready to move, and in their eyes, we're a piece of fat."
Carl looked over, and he could not only feel it, but he could see it with his eyes, because he was more special than anyone else.
From the windows of those buildings, there were dark shadows peeking at them, and of course, no one but Carl could see this scene.
As if sensing everyone's gaze, the group of black shadows moved anxiously and roared, and the surrounding air instantly cooled.
Constance sneered and ignored it, as long as the sun has not set, these ghosts are killing themselves, and the sun is an absolute nemesis for any ghosts.
