The sunlight came in through the hole in the roof, shining right on Zhou Yu's eyes, he raised his arm to block the sunlight, sat up, and immediately fell into darkness.

Squinting to adjust to the light, he found himself in a strange hut with the only source of light being the hole in the roof.

The cottage was slender and long, with a bed in the innermost part, a wardrobe, a desk and chairs in front of the bed, and a kitchenette near the door, where the furniture was lined up, leaving a narrow aisle.

The walls, floor, and ceiling of the room were made of iron, and a corpse sat on the ground against the door, wearing a dark blue labor coat, which looked wide as the corpse had shriveled.

"Container house?" Zhou Yu observed the circle and began to search the hut carefully.

He needs to find the quest hint, otherwise he won't even know about helping anyone, let alone find the final boss or hide the boss.

After rummaging for a while, there were no clues, and there were a few pieces of paper with words written in the drawer of the desk, but the words on them were twisted together, and they were completely incomprehensible.

There were two books under the mattress, and Zhou Yu checked carefully, but still couldn't find the words he could understand.

"It's supposed to be outside." He walked to the door, looked down at the corpse, and said, "Rude." ”

The corpse had its back against the door, and in order to open the door, the corpse had to be removed first, and the corpse was already shriveled and would be damaged if it was moved slightly.

Bending down, Zhou Yu found that there were many round holes on the top of the corpse's head and the back of the head, some large and some small, as if they were knocked out with a hammer of various sizes, and he only touched the edge of the hole, and the corpse fell apart as expected, not all broken, but the head, arms and thighs were separated from the body, and the legs were crooked, revealing a plastic badge.

"Send Joel Baker home."

Except for a blurry photograph and an unintelligible company logo, there was only one line of words on the badge, just like the paper on the wooden table in Grimm's dream, and the words began to distort after reading it once.

"If you want to go out, you have to move the corpse, and you can find the badge by moving the corpse, and the task hint will not be missed." Zhou Yu felt a little relieved, and the next thing to do was to find Joel Baker and send him home.

There are corpses where you wake up, and this task is certainly not as simple as it sounds.

He had eaten a small piece of Zero Crystal and killed a lot of Nightmares, he didn't know how much Zero Power he had at the moment, but it was certain that this dream was much more difficult than Green's.

Pushing the corpse aside and struggling to open the door, Zhou Yu saw a dilapidated but vibrant world.

This is an open field next to the highway, and there are some RVs parked near the road, and the container houses are neatly arranged in the farther area, and the RVs are all dilapidated, especially the wooden ones, all of which are decayed to the point of leaving only a metal chassis.

There are many daily necessities scattered on the ground, including pots and pans, rotten clothes and broken cabinets, plush toys, clothes poles, plastic bags, etc., all of which are in a semi-buried state, with only the corners exposed.

The eyes were full of green, moss, vines, weeds, and trees grew freely, and even the road was not spared, and small white flowers grew in the cracks of the road, which were swaying gently in the wind.

"The end of the world?" He felt that it was impossible to find Joel Baker here, the question was which direction to look for.

There are many kinds of apocalypse, the most likely is the nuclear apocalypse, but this place is like a gathering place for refugees, so it is unlikely to be a nuclear apocalypse, because radiation cannot escape, judging from the sitting position of the dried corpse, it seems to be holding its back against the door to prevent something outside the door from rushing in.

"If it's a zombie, it's a bit uncreative." Zhou Yu walked to another container house, these iron houses are still well preserved, and the rust also makes it very easy to enter the house.

Knocking open the door, he quickly found a stack of newspapers, the words on which were unreadable, but the pictures were clear.

Really.

As soon as I flipped through it, I saw a photo of "zombie" on the cover of the fourth newspaper, but this zombie's head was full of plants, such as mushrooms and truffles, and even its eyes and nose could not be seen, and it looked disgusting, and it still had a human hand in its mouth.

"Followers? Something seems to be wrong. Zhou Yu has played the game "The Last of Us", and the zombies in the photos are very similar to the infected people in the game, but what he said is wrong has nothing to do with the voice followers, he is very involved in playing games, it is very common to dream about the content of the game, and he himself has had similar dreams.

After spreading out the newspaper and reading it for a while, he found the problem.

The question is the newspaper itself, the outbreak of the epidemic, the emergence of infected people, and the killing spree, why do newspapers still exist? This newspaper is too bold, isn't it? Others fight zombies and play to survive, and a group of them stay in the newspaper office to print newspapers? Who will buy it when it is printed? Who's going to sell?

The layout of the newspaper is very compact, with a lot of text, unlike the newspapers that were issued before the appearance of the infected person, and judging from the limited number of pictures in the newspaper, the content of those words is related to the infected person.

Looking at the third newspaper, the front page picture is a hand-drawn big fat man, not only his head, but also his body is covered with mushrooms and truffles, that is, the highest level of infected "Big Mac", with circles drawn in many places on his head and body, and accompanied by text descriptions.

The second newspaper, with a large headline on the front page and a photo with a picture of a white-haired old man holding a baby high in the air, surrounded by a circle of people, some holding cameras, some clapping, and some waving fists, much like a scene in "The Lion King".

The front page of the newspaper at the top was a simple map, mostly white, with a small patch of black in the middle, and countless arrows pointing to the black area from all directions, each with words written on it.

"If the newspaper came out later was put on the top, it would not be like the end of the world, but the end of the world by humanity over the infected." Zhou Yu put down the newspaper, stood up, and suddenly thought again: "No, if it's really over, then Baker can go home by himself, without me sending it, yes, the area occupied by the infected people must not have been completely recovered, Joel Baker's home is in the infected area, which makes sense." ”

The question is where is Bell? After searching the entire area, he returned to the room where he had woken up.

Looking down at the scattered corpse, Zhou Yu had a new idea: "Could it be that this guy is Joel Baker?" The quest NPC is actually someone else, and my task is to return this corpse to the NPC...... But I don't know where the NPC's home is. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take the body with him, and it wasn't heavy anyway.

A sheet was taken out of the cabinet to cover the corpse, and the four corners were tied together to make a large cloth bag, Zhou Yu carried the cloth bag on his shoulder and walked to the road.

The road was long, and there was no end in sight on either side, so he picked up a sharp stone and threw it into the air, intending to go in the direction pointed by the tip of the stone, but as soon as the stone hit the ground, the roar of the engine could be heard in the distance.

"Awesome." Zhou Yu looked in the direction where the voice came from, and thought: "There was a hint as soon as I came out, which means that the Luna Tree already knew that I would be delayed in the open ground for more than ten minutes, so that I woke up more than ten minutes early, and walked to the side of the road just when the car came here." ”

A bus covered in steel plates came from the end of the road, and it looked like a yellow school bus.

The steel plates are very thick, and the combined weight is estimated to exceed that of a bus, which would not be possible to drive in reality, but in dreams, the car runs very happily.

In order to prevent the other party from thinking of himself as an infected person, Zhou Yu waved his hand and retreated under the shoulder of the road. The steel plate makes the chassis of the bus very low, and it is difficult to go up again when it rushes off the shoulder, since it will add steel plates to the car, it means that the owner of the car cherishes the car very much and will not mess around.

The bus didn't mean to hit him, it began to brake more than 50 meters away, stopped in front of him accurately, and the door was slowly lowered like the door of a small plane.

Zhou Yu looked inside the car and stood in place.

The driver was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, with a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and a sparse stubble on his face, like a knowledgeable professor, but his head was full of mushrooms and truffles.

"This man's eyes are still there, he's a runner." Zhou Yu took two steps back, ready to throw out the cloth pocket in his hand at any time: "Now is not the time to tell the other party's infection level...... Infected people driving? I still drive a bus that ordinary people can't drive. ”

The driver of the bus didn't speak, waiting silently, but Zhou Yu dared to get on the bus, he had already begun to imagine that this car was an automatic food processor, which integrated the functions of bloodletting, slicing, juicing, and stirring, as long as he pressed a button, the body would shake and make food for the people on the bus.

As if to match his thoughts, the body really shook.

Fortunately, the shaking was because someone was walking in the car, and a young man in his thirties came to the entrance of the car, waved at him, and said, "Get in the car." ”

It's a follower, but only one eye has truffle fungus, and the other is still open.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yu took two more steps back.

"Let's go to Styx City together and at least kill Harnoc before he gets killed by humans." The Follower said, looking in the direction the front of the bus was pointing.

"Before being killed by humans?" Zhou Yu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly touched his head.

His head was also covered with stiffly tied mushrooms and truffles, all the way to his forehead and temples, his facial features were not distorted, and his eyes were complete, but this appearance was too far from humans, and it must be very scary.

"I'm a stalker!" Zhou Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and a more important question suddenly came to mind: "Are you Joel Baker?" ”

The followers were also surprised: "You know me? ”
