Beside John, Jax and Katerina, both four years old, were happily running through the ruins.

They were just two years old when they were born, and they were already the first generation after the end of the world, and the world they saw was just a world before and after the end of the world, and they thought that the world should be like this. And all the colors in such a world will be deeply ingrained in their childhood memories.

The little girl Caterina got tired of running, so she returned to old John's side to be coquettish.

"Old John, will there be any zombies running out today?

Old John bent down and found a dilapidated Barbie doll from the ruins, although it had an outer packaging, but it still looked dilapidated, maybe he could take it to the village and sew it with needles and threads, and then make toys for Katerina, every girl should have a doll, right?

"Little Katerina, you should call me grandfather, so that it is polite."

Caterina stuck out her tongue secretly, and then said, "It was Julia from the village tavern who asked me to call you that, and he said that you owe her a glass of whiskey, and until you give it back to her, I can call you Old John directly, instead of calling you grandfather." ”

"Julia?"

Old John's face turned red.

This stingy woman, he only touched her chest a few days ago, and she was so calculating.

Other men can already roll on her all night with a glass of whiskey, but they have to suffer such treatment! Hey, it's really old, if it was when he was young, Julia's woman didn't obediently roll into his bed?

Old John clicked his mouth and said a little unpleasantly: "Little Katerina, Julia is a bad woman, don't go to her tavern to play in the future!" ”

Caterina shook her head, then said, "No! Old John, Julia is very nice! She would give me lots of nice little sweets. I know why you call her a bad woman because she will accompany men to bed in exchange for food and whiskey! I didn't think it was good at first, but Julia had already explained to me that in order for her body to stay alive she had to eat food, and in order for her soul to keep alive she had to drink whiskey! That's why she sleeps with men, in exchange for these! She is a woman with a quest for taste! I don't agree with her, but I still like her! Because she was kind enough to give me delicious sweets. I think God will forgive her! ”

Old John frowned, and then said seriously: "Little Katarina, in the name of my grandfather, I order you not to go to Julia again in the future. Listen to what you say, you're only four years old now, don't you think you're a little too precocious? ”

Caterina looked up at old John, and she noticed that the old man seemed to be a little angry, so she wisely changed her name and said, "Grandfather, what is precocious?" ”

Old John said: "It's that you already know some things that you shouldn't know at your age, such as the fact that Julia can rely on sleeping with people in exchange for food and whiskey!" This will have a bad effect on your growth. ”

Caterina thought for a moment, shook her head, and nodded again before she said, "Grandfather, because I'm too young, I don't quite understand what you mean. I'll listen to you, though, because you're your grandfather. I'm sure you're not going to lie to me! ”

Old John nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Then will you lie?" I need you to swear in front of me! ”

Caterina raised her mouth in displeasure, and it took a long time before she said: "I swear in the name of God, if I go to Julia to play again, I will never be able to eat the delicious candy Julia gave me again!" ”

Old John was finally completely satisfied, and saw that Jax was walking back and forth on the ruins, looking for interesting things, and secretly said in his heart: It's better to be a boy! Hey, it's a pity that their parents have become zombies, how can I bring up these two children? He is too old, and he is about to return to the arms of his Heavenly Father.

Caterina secretly took out a piece of candy that Julia had given her from the pocket of her clothes and stuffed it in her mouth, and then thought: I didn't have a Bible in my hand when I swore an oath, so can such an oath not be counted? Also, even if you break your oath and go to Julia to play again, as long as you don't eat the candy given by Julia, won't you be punished? In that case, God would not be angry with her.

Realizing that she was so witty, the little girl smiled happily, and while eating delicious sweets, she bounced up and down beside Old John, and she did not know what it was like to be young and sorrowful.

The city of Williamsburg, located in eastern Virginia, is a famous historic city and tourist attraction in the United States. It is built on the edge of a lake and beneath it is surrounded by an endless Atlantic coastal plain, and the surrounding land is geologically fertile and has a warm and pleasant climate. The pre-apocalyptic architecture here was simple and quaint, which was very different from the high-rise buildings of New York City, which was only a little more than 100 kilometers away.

Before the end of the world, Williamsburg's urban greening was very good, and after the end of the world, the plants here grew more luxuriantly, and in a few years, it will be covered with greenery and become a declining new green field.

At this point, however, it still looks dark.

Winter in Williamsburg in May has not yet passed, and although the sun is shining at this time, the temperature is only about 10 degrees Celsius, and at night, the temperature here will drop to more than 10 degrees below zero.

Old John found a few more planks in the ruins.

"I've got to get these planks back! Because our house in the shelter village needs rest! There will be rain these days, and then we will suffer again! I really hope that little Jax can grow up soon, our family needs a strong man, and my little Caterina needs a man like this to protect. ”

Caterina rubbed her hands together and bent over like a hunchbacked old woman.

"Grandfather, is there only three of us left in the Orlando card family now? And aren't you just a man? Why do you want Jax to grow up fast? He's a playful! And he's stingy, so I don't need him to protect me! When I grow up, I've already decided that I'm going to New York! Julia says it's a gangster paradise now, and many people have built their own territory there! I'm going to go there and build a territory and live a good life! Let people bring me candy to eat every day! ”

The folds on Old John's face were all piled up, and he swore that he would never let his little Caterina have anything to do with that mad woman of Julia!

A cold wind blew from the west, and Old John's body shivered.

"Zombies, there are zombies!"

Suddenly, a person on guard from a distance ran back to warn.

Needless to say, the people who were picking up their belongings in this abandoned area quickly began to evacuate with the watchmen, and they had to return to their small village as fast as possible, which was a small grove five kilometers outside Williamsburg, and people had fenced the trunks of the trees on the perimeter of the woods with barbed wire!

There aren't many zombies around here, but there are occasional zombies wandering from other places.

People will choose to kill them in the first place.

But later it was discovered that often after killing some ordinary zombies, some dangerous mutants will be attracted by the roar of the zombies!

Zombies are such strange creatures, when they are surrounded by the same kind, they are as quiet as a good baby, and if they see a human, they will roar like they are being stimulated.

Holding Jax and Katarina's hands, old John faltered a little when he ran, he was too old!

"Old John, run! Your legs and feet are already out of reach, and we're going to die!" Caterina was already crying, she was small but she still knew the horror of zombies.

Jax was very manly, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and took it in his hand, and looked back as he ran, thinking that if there were zombies coming, he would have to protect his grandfather and sister and fight the zombies.

At this time, the figure of the zombie finally appeared behind him, and they were in groups, numbering more than a thousand.

Old John and his two children had already run at the back of the line, less than five hundred meters away from the corpses.

"Hell! Damn zombies, there are so many! Oh God, I can't run! My heart is beating out! Jax, run away with little Katarina! I'll catch up with you! ”

Jax was usually an obedient child, and when his grandfather said this, he immediately ran over and took Koterina's hand.

Caterina ignored Jax, and instead tightened Old John's pants.

"Nope! Grandfather, I'm not going to leave you and run on your own! The three members of the Orlando Card family must escape together, or die here together! ”

Old John could scarcely control his tears, how could this clever and brave little girl be willing to die?

At the critical moment, in the other direction, a blonde woman rode a four-meter-long mutant black panther from a distance, and when she reached the three of Old John's ancestors, she stopped her mount, and then quickly got Old John and the two little ones on the cheetah and led them back to the small village.

Old John was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, they would be rescued by a mutant girl who fell from the sky, which is really a kind of luck!

After entering the barbed wire fence in the village, the blonde directly sacrificed blood to retrieve her mutant beast.

This made Caterina's eyes widen in amazement, completely forgetting about the incident of the zombie chase she had experienced before.

"Beautiful sister, where is your fierce black beast?"

After asking a word, Caterina seemed to remember something, and hurriedly spoke again: "Oh! By the way, beautiful sister, my name is Katarina. Orlando Card. My ancestors were British aristocrats, but I never went to England, I was born in the United States, and this is my grandfather, John. Orlando Card! That's my brother, Jax. Orlando Card! You can call us Old John, Jax, and Little Caterina! On behalf of the Orlando Card family, I would like to thank my beautiful sister for saving her life. ”

Old John was a little embarrassed, and he showed the blonde beauty the way, trying to get her to sit at home.

"This kid is naughty and ruthless on weekdays, and today he is pretending, but that sentence is from the bottom of my heart, thank you to this beautiful lady for saving our lives."

The blonde smiled slightly, then spoke, "I was just passing by, and I was honored to be able to take you away from the zombies." ”

After saying this, the blonde looked down at Caterina walking beside her and smiled and said, "Dear little lady, my sister is called Benita, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
