Volume 1: The Apocalyptic Journey Chapter 16: Cruel Reality

On a deserted path to Zhang Xin's house, Su Chen and the others did not speed up their pace.

The trail is relatively safe, but once the zombies break out, the trio will have nowhere to escape.

The winding path leads in all directions, and after several transfers, the three of them came to the backyard of Zhang Xin's house.

The retro-style courtyard is quite imposing, but I didn't expect Zhang Xin's family to be richer than Su Chen thought.

It's a pity that the end of the world broke out, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy your life, the difference between the rich and the poor has completely disappeared, and now, there is only the difference between the strong and the weak.

"Teacher Zhang, are your parents in the hospital?" Faintly, Su Chen had an ominous premonition and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, usually they're not at home, but these days, they should be at home." Zhang Xin replied.

With such a large courtyard, there must be corpses inside it, and if there are no emergency countermeasures, the courtyard at this time is probably already Shura Hell.

Zhang Xin has seen the scene of the corpses of her classmates, and she is a little nervous, a little excited, and has many not very good emotions at the moment.

"Xiaoyu, protect Sister Xin, I'll open the way for you." As he spoke, Su Chen picked up the long wooden strip behind the ancient wooden door and gently pushed the door open.

Rich people are different, they don't even want to change the door, and they are not afraid of being stolen.

The backyard is very large, comparable to half a football field, and the entire backyard is planted with many plants that Su Chen has never seen, exuding a faint fragrance, which seems to neutralize the stench of the whole world.

However, in the fragrance, there was still a smell of blood that was not easy to smell, and in Su Chen's field of vision, there were several corpses lying scattered on the grass, and they had long been completely untouched, and even their bodies could not be guaranteed to be complete.

These corpses have not yet stinked, the fragrance of plants covers everything, the ominousness in Su Chen's heart, he has been enlightened, he doesn't want to move on, because he has already guessed the ending.

Zhang Xin's parents must be dead, or all of them are corpses, no matter which one it is, presumably Zhang Xin will not accept it, rather than letting her see that scene, it is better to directly cut off her thoughts.

Seeing that Su Chen was not advancing, Zhang Xin suddenly grabbed his right arm and said excitedly: "Xiao Chen, go quickly, quickly!" ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it." Su Chen sighed and said.

"Finally got here, you tell me this? If you don't want to help, I'll go myself! Zhang Xin shook off the right hand that Su Chen grabbed and rushed straight in.

"Hey, slow down, I'll lead the way." Su Chen took a big leap and grabbed Zhang Xin's wrist to stop her from messing around.

"Xiaoyu, take care of Sister Xin, don't let her mess around." Su Chen was helpless, so he had to tell Mo Yu to move on.

Mo Yu nodded, stretched out his hand to block Zhang Xin's way, and the two advanced side by side.

"In which room?" Out of the backyard, there were wings all around, and most of the wings were closed, so Su Chen had to ask Zhang Xin.

Along the way, the corpses that can be seen everywhere have already made Zhang Xin's mood fall to a low point, she pointed her finger forward, and her expression was weird.

Su Chen nodded and gave Mo Yu a look, Mo Yu nodded secretly, he could stop any movement of Zhang Xin at any time.

Outside the wing room that Zhang Xin was referring to, Su Chen stayed for a while, the surroundings were too quiet, and the injuries of these corpses were also a little strange.

Many of the corpses were not killed by knife wounds, but penetrating wounds from bullets, and if Su Chen hadn't deliberately checked them, he really couldn't have seen them.

It is strictly forbidden to carry firearms in Huaxia, so I am afraid that the reinforcements sent by ZF, if nothing else, should be a helicopter team to rescue the rich and scientific research talents, which can be seen everywhere at the beginning of the last days.

Rao is like this, Su Chen's heart is still not very calm, as if he opened not an ordinary door, but an abyss leading to hell.

When Su Chen hesitated, Zhang Xin couldn't help it, she took two steps forward and pushed the door open directly, regardless of whether there would be danger.

Su Chen didn't have time to blame Mo Yu for not taking a good look at Zhang Xin, and followed Zhang Xin into the dim room.

The whole room is full of ancient charm, whether in decoration or ornaments, the only thing that is not in harmony with the environment is a dead corpse, it is lying quietly on the bed, and I don't know who helped her cover the quilt, if it weren't for the fact that the sheets have been dripping blood, Su Chen thought it was still alive.

"Mom!" Zhang Xin couldn't restrain himself anymore, pushed away Su Chen in front of him, walked quickly to the bed, knelt down directly, and tightly grasped the palm that had no temperature.

When Su Chen saw this scene, he had a general understanding in his heart, and seeing that there was no danger, he shook his head lightly, waved his hand to Mo Yu, and the two left the room silently.

Outside the house, Su Chen sat on the cold stairs and stretched out his hand to ask Mo Yu for cigarettes.

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "According to your meaning, I quit smoking." ”

"Damn, you're so yourself." Su Chen complained.

"Can you not be ruthless, I regret it now." Mo Yu glanced at Su Chen, he was addicted, but he could only stare dryly.

The two of them were silent, just sitting quietly, waiting for Zhang Xin and thinking about something.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xin came behind Su Chen with a depressed mood, holding an unopened letter between his fingers, the tears in the corners of his eyes had condensed, and he looked very haggard.

Su Chen sensed the person behind him, stood up, looked at Zhang Xin, hesitated, and still gave her a hug.

Feeling the warmth brought by Su Chen, Zhang Xin couldn't hold back any longer, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes again.

"Open the envelope, and there may be news of your father." Zhang Xin's mother was lying quietly on the bed, obviously intentionally, this "masterpiece" must be inseparable from Zhang Xin's father, so this letter naturally has a clue.

"Hmm..." Zhang Xin nodded, tore open the envelope, and looked at it.

A few minutes later, Zhang Xin pressed his undulating left chest and said excitedly: "My dad is fine, he was taken to the secret research institute by ZF, but he didn't specify the specific location." ”

"Well, since that's the case, then he should be safe for the time being, but we're not out of danger, Sister Xin, hurry up, we're going to continue on our way." Su Chen reminded.

Zhang Xin took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hug Su Chen, and said, "I will." ”

"That, no offense, Brother Chen, Sister Xin, you two have always been good to me, just be together, so that I can be mentally prepared, I'm a light bulb, I can't go, I don't go, it's not okay not to go, it's very uncomfortable." Mo Yu's face was embarrassed and a little helpless.

Su Chen glared at him, nudged Zhang Xin away, and said, "That... Thank you Sister Xin for saving your life, but I don't have the habit of making promises with my body, my shoulders are always for you, if you have a heart, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

After Zhang Xin was pushed away, he paused for a moment, snorted lightly, and said, "Who likes you, if it weren't for the fact that you saved me so many times, I wouldn't have come close to you." ”

"This... You two talk, I'll go out first. Mo Yu coughed awkwardly and said.

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, Sister Xin should be almost recovered, set off now, if you drag it out, it will be dark." ”

"Okay..."Mo Yu stopped and waited for Su Chen to walk ahead.

"Xiao Chen, you said that grandpa him."

"He's definitely fine." Su Chen directly interrupted Zhang Xin's words.

"Let's go!" Su Chen paused and continued.
