"This damn end times!"

Dragging his tired body, Li Ba walked out of the city gate and looked up at the sky, it was already evening, and the sun was still like a furnace hanging high, baking the earth. Outside the city gates, there was a shanty town, stretching for seven or eight miles, and everywhere there were unkempt and skinny people, huddled in huts made of planks and branches, their eyes empty and dull, and there was no anger at all.

Looking back at the city gate, standing on both sides of the men in camouflage uniforms and holding firearms, Li Ba's eyes flashed with envy, sighed, dragged his legs like lead, and walked towards the shantytown step by step.

"When will I be able to leave the camp...... Let's go into town! ”

Maya prophesied that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world, but nothing happened on that day, and it was business as usual. Later, the Mayan prophecy was used as a joke at the after-dinner table. Who would have thought that after only one year, the end of the world would really come. First, the sun and the moon vanished, and darkness covered the earth. After seven days of fear, the lost sun and moon returned, accompanied by an unknown virus that spread throughout the world. In just a few days, nearly half of the world's population has been infected with the virus, turning into the living dead, feeding on the flesh and blood of the survivors, known as zombies.

This day is December 21, 2013. The Mayan prophecy was not distorted, but it was slightly off, and a full year later, the end of the world came.

Li Ba, 27 years old, graduated from Huaxia Agricultural University, and was the manager of the business promotion department of a well-known seed company in Wucheng before the end of the world. It was a good day for him to defeat several opponents and compete to become the company's business manager, and the company held a cocktail party to celebrate it. Who would have expected that the damn end would come, and nearly half of the more than 300 colleagues would be infected with the virus and become zombies on the spot. Needless to say, under the chase and killing of zombies, there were less than 100 remaining survivors, hiding in the large conference room, waiting for the government to rescue.

After panic, darkness, hunger, and despair, the darkest and ugliest side of human nature erupts. Li Ba saw with his own eyes that someone pushed his girlfriend to a zombie in exchange for a chance to live. Someone is so hungry that they kill their best friends, feed on their corpses, and so on. If it weren't for his strong will, he would have been tortured into a madman by the madness of the scenes in front of him.

Survival is the most important thing!

He repeated this sentence to himself over and over again. In the end, he survived until the government sent troops to rescue and help the survivors evacuate Wucheng.

With the outbreak of an unknown virus and the advent of the apocalypse, the government is clearly panicking, underestimating the extent of the catastrophe. Although the army had heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery, it was still difficult to resist the attack of the hundreds of thousands of zombie troops in Wucheng, and they were defeated and retreated. However, a way to survive was finally opened so that the survivors could escape and ascend to heaven.

Under the cover of the troops, Li Ba escaped from Wucheng with a group of survivors of more than 5,000 people. The good times did not last long, the corpse tide pursued, the officers and soldiers of the army suffered heavy casualties, and the survivor team was also scattered, Li Ba survived with good luck, and fled aimlessly with a small group of refugees.

Along the way, this group of 500 refugees suffered constant disasters, including zombies, mutated beasts, heavy attacks, heavy casualties, and starvation and disease, and in the end, less than 200 people survived.

Li Ba is one of them. It must be said that he was lucky, just when they ran out of ammunition and food, they came to a settlement established by survivors, the Xibu Settlement.

The end of the world is coming, the unknown virus covers the earth, some people become zombies under the invasion of the virus, some people are immune to resist the invasion of the virus, and a very small number of people, when their own immune system resists the virus, the genes in the body have undergone abnormal changes and obtained all kinds of incredible powers.

This very small number of people are called evolutionaries.

The Evolver has the power to surpass the zombies, but maintains everything that the original human should have, and can be regarded as a new human. Under their leadership, the shattered land of China has built a number of survivor settlements, and Xibu is one of them.

Xibu is located in the southwest of Wucheng, originally a small town, with 20,000 or 30,000 permanent residents, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is dangerous. After the end of the world, the surrounding survivors continued to pour in, led by a team of armed police officers and soldiers who had lost contact with their superiors and a group of powerful evolutionaries, the zombies here were strangled, and the city walls were built to build a settlement.

After Li Ba's team of 100 people arrived, after screening, several people who showed the talent of evolutionaries were allowed to enter, their relatives and friends were also given preferential treatment to enter the city, and some people with special skills were allowed to enter the city. Most of the remaining survivors, including Li Ba, were turned away. In the official words of the Xibu settlement, the resources here are limited and cannot support too many people. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself.

Large numbers of survivors were turned away and unwilling to leave, settling into the camps that form today. Compared to the zombies roaming in the wilderness and the rampaging mutant beasts, the outside of Xibu City is undoubtedly much safer, even if there is no food or drink, the survivors must stay here.

The existence of the refugee camp was not driven away by the officials of the Xibu settlement, but pointed out a way for them to survive. There are many villages around Xibu, and there is a small county town 20 kilometers away, which is rich in materials and a large number of zombies. As long as you are brave, you can go to the surrounding area to get supplies to survive. In addition, killing zombies to obtain the crystal nucleus in their bodies, and the corpses of mutant beasts can be exchanged for food from the official Xibu settlement, and even get the opportunity to live in the city. At the same time, the settlement had just been established, and the walls needed to be built, and hard work such as plowing the fields also required manpower. As long as you are willing to put in the manpower, you can get food every day to survive.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself!

The power of zombies, Li Ba knows best. The most ordinary zombies have twice the strength of ordinary people and one and five times the speed of ordinary people, and it is not easy to kill them!

Mutant beasts are even more terrifying, and when ordinary people encounter them, there is no second way to choose except death. Li Ba is self-aware. He is 1.82 meters tall, weighs 85 kilograms, the miserable life in the last days has not made him much thinner, with a round face, a waist circumference of more than three feet, a big belly, a bulky body, inflexible legs and feet, it is all a matter of luck to survive, if you want to kill zombies and mutant beasts, it is a fantasy, and you are dying!

Therefore, he could only choose to sell his labor to do hard labor, in exchange for two chaff buns a day, and survive.

I can't eat enough every day, and I have to do heavy work, this kind of day makes Li Ba feel that life is worse than death. But when he finished work and came to the refugee camp, he looked at the scrawny refugees who had no human appearance, and a slight sense of superiority sprouted in his heart.

To do coolie, it also depends on the body. Those old, weak, sick and disabled are all not qualified, in case they die of exhaustion on the construction site, someone has to collect the corpses, trouble!

Following the foul-smelling path, sensing envious glances on both sides, Li Ba unconsciously straightened his chest and strode forward. When he came to his dwelling, a wooden shack, he was about to push the door in, when he suddenly frowned, turned around, and several unkempt and dirty women surrounded him.

"Master, give me half a bun, I promise to make you cool tonight!" A woman struck a seductive pose and said with a flattering face.

"I just want to ...... A little steamed bun will accompany you overnight, blowing, playing and singing, you can play however you want! The other woman directly ripped open her corset, revealing her shriveled and thin breasts, and looked at Li Ba with anticipation on her face.

"You stinky **, dare to steal business with my mother, I don't want to live!"

"What! If you want to do it, I'm afraid you won't make it! ”

The intention of several women is self-evident, before the end of the world, they may be rich daughters, or white-collar workers in large companies, but now they can let men play with them casually for half a piece of chaff, and they are even more scuffled at the moment.

"Get out of here!"

Li Ba showed a look of disgust on his face, pushed the door into the house, and slammed the wooden door shut.

"Master, please, give me something to eat...... My son hasn't eaten for three days, and he's dying of hunger! ”

As the door was closing, there were women's cries outside, one worse than the other. Li Ba listened to it in his ears, and there was no expression on his face.

The first rule of survival in the last days.

To be merciful to others is to be cruel to yourself!

He couldn't live anymore, how could he take out the only food he had to help these irrelevant women.

The cry for help quickly weakened. The women outside the door may also know that even if they shout in their throats, they can't ask for any food. After the footsteps were far away, Li Ba took out a mineral water bottle from the corner of the dim room, which contained half a bottle of water. Then, he took out a palm-sized bun from the inside pocket of the Armani suit on his body and ate it in small bites.

The Armani suit on his body was bought by gritting his teeth and spending several months of salary to celebrate his appointment as a business manager before the end of the world. On the day of the end of the world, he deliberately wore this outfit to attend the company's drinking party, and on that day, he never had a chance to change the clothes on his body, and now it is tattered and dirty.

Bran buns, as the name suggests, are made with rice bran mixed with a little flour. The pig food before the end of the world has now been reduced to a delicacy, and Li Ba chews slowly with every bite, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

When the palm-sized bun was half-eaten, he carefully put it away, intending to save it for supper and enjoy it in the second half of the night. There is no way, others are fat and big, and their appetite is digested quickly, if they eat all this steamed bun, they will definitely be hungry and unable to sleep in the second half of the night. In that case, tomorrow you will have no energy to work, and you will be tortured and laughed at by that hateful fellow.

After taking a sip of water, Li Ba lay directly on the bed made of wooden planks, his body remained motionless, and began to fall asleep. He wants to save all his physical energy for tomorrow's work and live well.

After a while, the snoring sounded everywhere, and Li Ba fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to see himself ordering a table of dishes in the most luxurious five-star restaurant in Wucheng, accompanied by two beautiful women, eating and drinking red wine.

After the end of the world, only when he falls asleep and dreams is he is the happiest.
