Chapter 52: You're safe

"After the advent of the end times, the production chain was interrupted, and many materials were basically cut off. Now I happen to be here in the city center, and it's a pity not to go to the mall to collect some supplies. ”

The sound of 'stamped' footsteps echoed through the streets.

Zhao Zhou, who left from the hotel area, looked at the large shopping mall two or three hundred meters away at this time, pondered for a while, and also set his general itinerary. I'm going to get some 'snacks' first, and then go to the nearby residential buildings to see if there are any evolutionary beasts, or go straight to the zoo.

Anyway, this is the city center, and it is just a good way to go everywhere, and it is accessible in all directions.

Moreover, Zhao Zhou also likes to drink a few glasses of wine before going to bed every day, watch medical skills, and listen to reviews, that is called life! It is impossible that the last days will change the only way he has entertainment.

Especially a drink like alcohol has no price in these last days.

Because the end times are coming, the wild farmland has long been occupied by the 'Evolution Beast'.

In addition to large granaries and production bases, the grain produced from the already small farmland is very valuable.

The 'Large Survival Base' also has a treaty, warning with the 'Blood Scarlet' of the Evolution Beast that food cannot be used to make wine.

This also led to the fact that a few years later, the way the wine was obtained in small workshops and in the wild, and the rest was rarely seen.

Although Zhao Zhou didn't know these situations, and he didn't want to speculate, he also knew that he was prepared, at least he could drink what he had, no matter what they thought about it.

But.

The short distance between the hotel and the shopping mall is two or three hundred meters, in addition to Zhao Zhou's 'stepping' footsteps, bursts of dense running sounds also sounded on the nearby streets.

Perhaps it was affected by Zhao Zhou's previous movements, with the "roar! The roar of a beast resounded one after another, echoing inside and outside the street.

Zhao Zhou stopped, looked around, and saw more zombies coming out of the broken shops, or from the corners next to them, rushing towards him together, as if there must be monsters guarding the treasure.

It's just that there are at least a thousand of these monsters.

Let the condescending people nearby see it, and it also pinched a cold sweat for Zhao Zhou, feeling that Zhao Zhou would choose to escape from this street full of zombies.

Of course, there are also the kind of villains who I have a bad life and you have a bad life, but this kind of person is actually too few to be clear.

"The physical strength of the human beings infected by the evolutionary virus has increased correspondingly, about one-tenth of it. I can kill it all, but it takes a lot of effort to use a bow. ”

Zhao Zhou saw and heard the dense zombies around him, but he was not nervous or afraid, he directly put the bow body he was holding in his hand on his back, used his own four thousand catties to lift the force, bent down and clasped the chassis of a car parked on the street with both hands, like a giant with infinite divine power, with a little effort, he turned the car into a windmill, waved it nearby, and rushed straight towards the shopping mall.

It can also be described as a pinch, a punch.

The bow has to make a thousand moves, which is really troublesome. It's better to wave this car, like a sickle to cut wheat, and definitely which one will save trouble.

Also with the loud sound of 'bumper'.

Zhao Zhou waved the car all the way by, as long as the zombies surrounding him, none of them could get close, they were all like being smashed by a sledgehammer with a big door, and the zombies were hit by the "click" bones made a chaotic sound, and their bodies flew up in the air and crashed into nearby vehicles and buildings, rotting into a pile of soft mud.

Or hit other zombies, and it was like a cannonball, smashing one piece at a time.

In particular, the car he wielded had been killed all the way, and the body had hit the zombies for a long time, and it was gradually deformed, and the roof of the car was concave all around, and the iron sheet was twisted, forming pieces of sharp barbs.

As a result, the zombies were scraped by the twisted iron sheets of the body, and they were even more fragmented, the flesh and skin flew sideways, and the blood was splattered.

It was only seven or eight minutes.

The distance of three or two hundred passed, Zhao Zhou stood on the street at the entrance of the mall, and stepped around, bound to kill all the nearly 1,000 zombies in the vicinity, so that he could collect materials with peace of mind.

Time.

With a 'whoosh' noise.

Zhao Zhou is also like the kind of famous general in the world in the movie, who is a man and a man! The zombies couldn't step into the vicinity of the steps of the mall at all, and all of them were smashed into a pulp by the car wielded by Zhao Zhou, scattered in front of the mall, and trampled by other zombies, making it even more bloody and blurry.

Everyone upstairs nearby could smell the disgusting smell of blood in the air from a distance of 100 meters.

At Zhao Zhou's feet, the blood gathered into a layer, and the footsteps were all slimy, and the corpse was splashed in front of the door of the shopping mall, staining the walls with black and red minced meat.

Similarly, such a scene that looks like a slaughterhouse, with corpses piled up on a hillside for dozens of meters, and the scene of Zhao Zhou waving a car, made the nearby residents look stupid. Vomit of vomit, exclamation of amazement.

"He really didn't run away, and he killed all these monsters...."They were amazed by fear, fear, and even more wanted to find Zhao Zhou for refuge.

But there are also lessons from the big boss's past, even if there is not a zombie standing downstairs, no one dares to go downstairs to talk to Zhao Zhou.

"With my current physical strength, if they are all ordinary zombies, I can kill more than 10,000 before I run out."

And after Zhao Zhou noticed that there were no zombies coming in the vicinity for a short time, he shook his arm again, charged his strength, and smashed the somewhat deformed car towards the gate of the mall.

Suddenly, the roller shutter suddenly made a 'creaking' twisting sound, and the grooves on both sides and the keyhole position were deformed and torn, making the roller shutter roll up with a bang.

At the same time, the car also lost its obstruction, and it 'hissed' against the tile floor, knocking the nearby shelves into a piece, so that the items next to the body were stained with a lot of flesh and blood.

"My 'big windmill' in my hand, no one can get close to it. If it is compared, Li Yuanba in the commentary is estimated to be like this. ”

Zhao Zhou pondered, glanced at the twisted car body in the mall, and then did not stop, entering the somewhat gray mall.

Then, after listening quietly, Zhao Zhou found that there seemed to be no outsiders in the mall, so he cut the cap of a bottle of liquor from the shelf, drank it in one gulp, tasted the spicy and mellow in his mouth, and sighed, "Good wine!" ’

It can be described as a joy in the heart!

It's a pleasure!

Zhao Zhou recalled the killing just now, and found that he hadn't shown his skills so much for a long time, killing at will like the Three Kingdoms, and he had already felt rusty and boring in the world of rules and regulations.

But now, he crisscrossed the corpses, unrestrained, only felt that the last days were appropriate, drank this bottle of wine again, recalled the past, and his mind no longer knew where to drift to the edge of the sky.

"Wine does not intoxicate people, but people get drunk themselves."

He pondered for about ten minutes, and while regaining his strength, he also thought of a poem that could describe his mood.

Similarly, this break has also been rested, and Zhao Zhou also reflected the sunlight outside the door, and began to search the shelves and display tables in the hall on the first floor.

Anyway, as long as it's wine, it doesn't matter what brand.

He received all the system space, occupying more than half of the area. It is also that he is now consuming almost the same amount of medicinal materials, and the size of the bow and arrow is small, which is more than enough space.

But when the wine is loaded, Zhao Zhou also set aside a small half of the area to prevent him from seeing other fun and delicious objects in the future, and he has to take care of it.

"Today's bottle of wine, according to one bottle a day, is enough for me to drink for two years."

At the end, Zhao Zhou calculated what he had gained, took out a duffel bag at the checkout counter of the mall, filled a few bottles, stuffed some beef jerky and high-energy drinks, and used them as food and beverages for today's wandering around the city.

Wait until everything is taken care of.

Zhao Zhou took out a city map of the city, identified the direction of the zoo, and then walked out of the mall gate.

However, it was also at the moment of walking.

Zhao Zhou's mind suddenly moved, and he condensed his essence to a point, breathing slowly and long, and the pores of his body were also closed.

At the same time, it was also at this time that dozens of zombies gathered from the vicinity continued to wander at the entrance of the mall as if they didn't see Zhao Zhou, or a few of them, lying on the ground and eating the corpses of the same kind.

"It's funny." When Zhao Zhou saw it, it also confirmed his whimsical guess just now.

"It is estimated that these zombies infected by the evolutionary virus are still low-level, and they can only be distinguished by smell whether they are 'of the same kind'. However, my method of returning to God can make the aura of 'living people' as light as possible. Just like the Bodhisattva offered to the temple, the golden body is not leaked, all evils are evaded, and the demons are of course not visible and heard. ”

Zhao Zhou pondered, his breathing became longer and longer, and after discerning the direction, he rushed towards the zoo, and he didn't go to find these zombies with a blank face, anyway, he was also happy just now, and if he fought all the way, it would inevitably delay the time journey.

also walked along with Zhao Zhou and passed through the streets and alleys.

Smoke rises from the streets, or there are stumps and cars colliding with each other. Scattered or groups of zombies, they were also indifferent to Zhao Zhou, who was carrying a duffel bag and a longbow on his back, as if he hadn't seen it.

Of course, when they got closer, Zhao Zhou would also give them a ride, the action was so fast and the strength was so crisp that none of its kind reacted.

And also along the way.

Zhao Zhou also saw a lot of bed sheets hanging on the windows of many residential buildings, with words like 'help' written on them, or people who thought they were smart and wrote some rewards, thinking that the end of the world was coming, and the money would work.

Similarly, Zhao Zhou could see them, and they also found Zhao Zhou walking on the street through the window.

However, many people saw that zombies did not attack Zhao Zhou, and they also subconsciously regarded Zhao Zhou as a somewhat strange zombie, and did not regard Zhao Zhou as a human being.

Because they have also seen pedestrians on the road, as long as they are not zombies, they are all attacked and killed by zombies, without exception, unless they become their own kind.

"As long as you are bitten by those monsters and not eaten by them, you will become a monster like them!" They observed for a long time, and they also concluded that after being scratched or bitten by these monsters, they would become the same species as them.

Zhao Zhou, who was not attacked by zombies on the street, was also imagined by them to be a person who was 'scratched'.

"Alas! Are you human? ”

However, Zhao Zhou walked along the way, and a few people felt that Zhao Zhou was a little wrong, and tried to call Zhao Zhou twice, but they immediately found that Zhao Zhou hadn't done much to them, and with a roar, the zombies who had just left downstairs turned back.

When these people saw this, they all shut up immediately.

Most of them don't have much living supplies at home, and they want to take advantage of the zombies to leave, so that they can get some food from the shops and shops downstairs and wait for the army's rescue.

There are not a few such people.

It was also the end of the first day, and everyone was still hopeful, thinking that someone would come to the zombie-strewn city to save them.

And Zhao Zhou walked all the way, passed through the streets and alleys, was accustomed to seeing the sadness of the world, and also half the distance from the zoo, in a small alley scattered with rental buildings, he saw a 'evolution beast' the size of a tiger.

"It's a coincidence, the evolution beasts I saw along the way basically had bones left and shattered corpses. This is the first time I have seen it alive. ”

It's a small alley. On both sides are mostly rental buildings, three or four stories high, but now there is silence, and it is estimated that the residents inside have already turned into zombies, jumping out of the windows, looking for food.

Now, Zhao Zhou stopped at the gate of this place where many zombies had fallen to their deaths, and saw that under another building about a hundred meters away, there was an 'evolution beast' that looked like a dog and a wolf, eating a zombie that had already died.

There are also a lot of broken bones next to it, both human and animal.

It also sounded with the chewing sound of 'crunching'.

When it chewed on the corpse, its eyes narrowed into a slit, and its mouth was full of minced meat, and a feeling of anger also arose in Zhao Zhou's heart.

"Domestic dogs were domesticated by wolves on the grassland. This evolutionary virus has made it return to its ancestors, and even when eating, it is cautious, like a frightened bird. ”

Zhao Zhou observed the evolution beast in front of him for a while, opened the gift bag, took out a ham sausage, and prepared to throw it next to the zombie under it, wanting to see if it had the habits of the original domestic dogs.

I didn't expect it.

The evolution beast, or the evolution dog, when Zhao Zhou just put the ham sausage in mid-air, suddenly exploded all over his body, and the instinct of vigilance made his mouth pick up the zombie that was being eaten, and suddenly threw it at the ham sausage in mid-air.

There was a muffled "pop", and the body crashed into the ham sausage and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the evolution dog followed two steps, although the sensitive nose did not smell anything, but the moment the corpse was thrown, his eyes saw Zhao Zhou a hundred meters away, and then jumped twenty or thirty meters away, stretched out sharp claws with minced meat, and also pounced towards Zhao Zhou!

From throwing out the corpse to culling Zhao Zhou, everything was natural, as if the Evolution Beast had an innate fighting instinct!

Or genetic atavism, which has returned to the cunning wolf nature!

When Zhao Zhou saw and heard it, he didn't feel anything, he raised his hand, as if the Buddha in Journey to the West suppressed the Monkey King, his five fingers opened and closed, and at the same time as the evolution dog pounced, he flashed sideways and slapped his backhand on the top of the evolution beast's head.

With the crisp sound of 'click', the evolution dog did not react at all, and its skull was shattered, and there was no sound in an instant.

After all, in the early stage of the apocalypse, these evolution beasts have not really evolved perfectly, where will they be Zhao Zhou's opponents.

"This evolution also takes time to pave the way, especially for animals like this kind of city, whose physique has degraded a lot, and is far less 'strong' than in the wild."

Zhao Zhou glanced at the corpse of the evolved dog, cut its flesh and skin, and took out Tai Sui from the space and put it in the flesh and blood of the evolved dog.

He wanted to see if Tai Sui would have the ability to 'eat meat' after absorbing the evolutionary virus, and then speed up his growth.

This is a speculation, and there is no scientific basis.

Anyway, Zhao Zhou kept staring like this, and after three or two minutes, he really saw that the place where his pure white Tai Sui was connected to the flesh and blood of the evolution dog gradually turned red, as if he was really absorbing the blood of the evolution dog.

"Sure enough."

When Zhao Zhou saw this scene, he became interested, and first put down the idea of going to the zoo to see if Tai Sui could suck the blood of the evolved dog dry, just like watching ants carry the corpses of insects when he was a child, full of a sense of exploring the unknown.

But.

While Zhao Zhou was observing this magical scene, there was a 'stampede' sound in the rental building about fifty meters away, and a large evolution dog that looked like a lion came out of the window on the fourth floor of a rental building, and after 'snapping' and landing on the ground, he roared and looked at Zhao Zhou about forty meters away.

In particular, its body length is more than three meters, its limbs are as thick as ordinary people's thighs, and the hair on its body stands up, it is like a steel needle, with a feeling that makes people's hearts hairy, far more 'advanced' than the previous one.

"This zoo hasn't arrived yet, but I have encountered two evolutionary beasts in a row." When Zhao Zhou saw this evolved beast, he was also overjoyed, and was ready to add another delicious meal for Tai Sui.

It's just that when Zhao Zhou was about to hunt this large evolution dog, a "roll" sound suddenly sounded from the building where the evolution dog jumped out, and a young man also 'stepped on' to open the door and go downstairs and walk out of the building.

The large dog also stood in front of the young man suddenly, 'woo' and roared in a dull voice, revealing half-foot-long fangs, staring at Zhao Zhou.

"Juan'er, that's a person, the same as me!" When the young man got out of the building, he kept stroking Juan'er's head.

Under Zhao Zhou's gaze, this evolution dog's hair, like a steel needle, really slowly fell down and fit its body.

'Can the Evolution Beast still be tamed?' ’

Zhao Zhou saw this scene and found it interesting. Seeing that the young man kept apologizing to himself, he signaled that he was fine, so he took out a ham sausage from the duffel bag and threw it at the roll.

With a 'snap', the evolved beast that turned into a 'curly' raised its head and took it, and instead of swallowing it, it put it on the ground and sniffed it, as if it had been discerning for a while, and then pushed it next to the young man, as if it was for its master to eat.

But Zhao Zhou, as a master of Dan Jin, has already surpassed ordinary people in his six senses, and after seeing this scene, although he didn't understand what was coming, he also heard the sound of 'cooing' from Juan'er's stomach, and knew that this evolved dog was probably hungry for a long time.

Similarly, when the young man who was so close to Juan Er heard this, he also peeled off the ham sausage, skimmed a little himself, and stuffed all the rest into Juan'er's mouth.

"I was very young when I picked you up on the street a few years ago. You're grown up now and eat more. The young man touched Juan'er's head, afraid that Zhao Zhou would hear a joke about him, and whispered close to Juan'er's ear.

As everyone knows, although Zhao Zhou is thirty or forty meters away, he can hear it clearly.

And although the young man was also hungry, he never thought of letting himself go to the zombie crowd to grab food like a relative.

Because he was in the dim light at about two o'clock in the middle of the night today, he saw that there were many stray dogs and cats on this side of the rental building, which were eaten by the nearby 'residents', or zombies were eaten by these evolved beasts. Or real humans, who were hunted and killed by these zombies or evolutionary beasts who climbed to the fourth and fifth floors of a nearby rental building.

This evolved dog can mutate, and when the young man was asleep at about ten o'clock last night, he heard a faint scream in the alley, and then unlocked the door and went out to explore.

After a few hours, when he came back around midnight, Juan Er turned into an evolution beast like a male lion.

At the same time, the zombie evolved beast to be truly infected by the virus, mutated one after another, and began to hunt and kill all the creatures around it.

It was also in the roar of the young man that the zombies did not approach.

From two o'clock in the middle of the night to this afternoon, he also knew that these monsters were afraid of their family through the sleepless more than ten hours.

But even without this scene, he would rather venture out into the streets outside the alley than risk his loved ones.

Because there are too many zombies on the streets outside, far more than the less than the hundreds in the alleys.

"I'm sorry."

After the young man finished eating the ham sausage, he apologized to Zhao Zhou again, took out a bottle of mineral water, walked over, thought about it, and said in a somewhat inconsistent manner: "There are many monsters outside, and there are many empty houses upstairs, the rolls are very powerful, they can protect us, and we can also find some supplies until the army comes to rescue us."

Although the young man didn't know who Zhao Zhou was, since he saw that it was a human, he also wanted to do his best, and he also regretted that he didn't save his neighbors nearby.

And when Zhao Zhou heard this, he also pondered it a little, and his first feeling was that this person was a little too real, a little kind, and it was estimated that he would not live for more than three days in the last days, and he would definitely be killed by 'people', and even the evolution dog would not be able to escape.

However, Zhao Zhou also thought that he didn't have a 'driver or assistant' in this world, and Tai Sui didn't know how long it would take to absorb the flesh and blood, so he poured all the contents of the backpack to the ground with a 'bang' under Juan'er's no longer being vigilant.

"My name is Zhao Zhou. Now you are safe. ”
