Chapter Twenty-Four: Hoarding Supplies

The next day, when Li Jian woke up, the sun had already shone on him through the curtains, with a warm breath and a soft taste that belonged to the sun.

The end of the day began for a whole month, and in the past month, yesterday was the most restful day for Li Jian.

Because, this is his home.

There is a familiar, warm, reassuring taste.

After waking up, Li Jian turned on the faucet and prepared to wash. The water coming out of the taps is still as clear, thanks to the residential complex's reading water supply system, at least not polluted yet.

After a simple scrubbing, Li Jian first filled the clear tap water with the utensils that he could use at home, because he didn't know when the water source would be polluted, and it was good to make more preparations.

At this time, the clothes worn by Li Jian were clean. Usually when he transforms into a zombie and goes out, he will wear dirty clothes, and in a safe place, and at night, he is still used to wearing dry and clean clothes, which is a matter of habit, and he can't change the habit after a month.

In addition to food, cash, bank cards and other things that were taken away, other things in the family were still there, and they should have been taken away by Li Jian's parents when they left. Moreover, Li Jian also found that two suitcases were missing, and I think this is also the reason.

Fortunately, Li Jian has never been worried about food in the twenty days since he left school.

I saw him take out the telescope he used when he was a child from his room, then walked to the living room on the second floor, carefully opened the curtains, and quietly looked out with the telescope.

This is the preparation work before he goes out every day to scavenge for supplies and inspect the surrounding environment. After all, he can only transform twice a day, and each time it doesn't last long, so he has to be targeted and scavenged as efficiently as possible. Moreover, looting supplies is a small matter, and he must also beware of all kinds of unexpected situations, such as accidentally touching zombies, or, running into survivors.

After the long journey from leaving school to returning home, Li Jian finally confirmed that the world was over. The main government didn't see it, the army didn't see it, and even the survivors were pitiful, all of them were gathered in two or three. Because China's cities, especially their southern cities, have a very high population density, and the number of zombies is also extraordinary, and the survival of the survivors can be imagined with their butts.

As for the survivors he met along the way, he wanted to go over and ask for something at first, but as soon as the survivors saw him walking towards him, they walked faster than they could fly. Because, when Li Jian was out active, he was always in the form of a zombie, and when the survivors saw it, they must have run away immediately, how dare he let him get close? Even some survivors, who were a little bolder, saw Li Jian, who had turned into a zombie, coming over and wanted to blow him up like other zombies.

This is not a joke, and over time, Li Jian no longer cares about this kind of sporadic survivors, and moves forward on his own.

Deep down in his heart, he didn't want to be alone. After all, humans are social animals, and when they see other survivors, they will want to get together, which is also called multiple care. But the death of Liao Ming and Cai Junjian's final betrayal have carved an indelible mark in his heart. Although he does not admit it, he has lost faith in such things as "unity" and "trust".

In this case, it is better to be alone.

After carefully observing with a telescope, he found that the density of zombies in the community he lived in was not too outrageous, that is, it was average. As for the survivors, he scanned several residential buildings within his line of sight, and saw no sign of survivors.

On the premise of not being able to find his family, Li Jian can only set this place as his foothold and make plans after living for a while. As a result, he had to stock up on supplies at home and use it as a base.

After decorating the house again, Li Jian changed into the dirty clothes he usually used to go out, and looked at the watch on his wrist, the current time is 11:20 in the morning, in other words, he must be back here by 12:20.

Armed with some necessary supplies and some things to deal with an emergency, Li Jian opened the door with the key and began the first phase of his search today.

His first target, of course, was the residential building where he lived.

The residential building has a total of eight floors, with the exception of the eighth-storey duplex house, the other seven floors are four units per floor, single-storey housing layout.

In the residential buildings of this kind of community, the doors have always been very strong, and it is difficult to open them without a key, so Li Jian can only choose those houses that are not closed. In this way, his options are much narrower. He searched from the eighth floor to the second floor below, and found only six houses with unlocked doors, and then only found about ten kilograms of rice, twelve packets of soda biscuits, a few candies of all kinds, a box of mineral water, eight packets of other cakes, five cans of eight-treasure porridge, five packs of bagged instant noodles, and three bowls. There are also a lot of rotten vegetables and fruits, and even all kinds of moldy refrigerated food, which he ignores, after all, he is just a person, and he disdains to take these things that seem to be inedible. As for salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, he also wrapped them together, especially salt, which is very precious. Along the way, he turned into a zombie, and once saw five or six survivors fighting for a bag of salt, beating their heads and bleeding, and then being frantically eaten by zombies.

In addition to these foods, he also found a telescope with a higher magnification, as well as a sharpened saber, as well as essential supplies such as flashlights, candles, and lighters.

After moving these things back to his home, Li Jian looked at his watch, and it was about twenty minutes before he could return to his original state, so he decided to go to another residential building to check on the situation.

As soon as I walked out of this residential building, I was greeted by a zombie. The zombie was also dizzy, just subconsciously swaying over, Li Jian looked around with his spare eyes, and after finding no trace of a human being, he took out the saber he had just found with a wave of his right hand and stabbed it in the center of the zombie's forehead.

Paying attention to his surroundings before starting is also a habit he has exercised over the past few days, after all, if someone sees a zombie killing zombies, the consequences will definitely be very troublesome. The secret that he can turn into a zombie is best known only to him.

The ** of the zombie itself is in a state of decay, so the penetration of the flesh is high, every time Li Jian makes a move, unless he is not inserted in the right position, it is often a one-hit kill, and it doesn't take much effort.

Just like the first time he killed a zombie, when the saber stabbed into the zombie's forehead, he clearly felt that something flowed down the saber into his body. Until now, the end of the month has begun, all the way over, although Li Jian has been careful not to collide with zombies, he still killed at least twenty or thirty zombies, every time he has such a feeling, but he still can't figure out what that thing is.

The saber was drawn, and Li Jian brought out a large pod of rotting flesh and blood of zombies, as well as yellowish disgusting corpse fluid, and the corpses of zombies fell to the ground in response.

Just when he wanted to wipe the saber with a handkerchief like before, he suddenly found that there was something unusual stuck on the saber.
