Chapter 474: One Pulse
On Chinese New Year's Eve, a group of people could not eat dumplings and see lively scenes, but this year was full of fun.
They even had some gifts for each other.
Necklaces and rings found in the supermarket, windproof lighters, new shoes and new clothes, all add some flavor to the exchange of gifts
But the end is only the end after all
There are no relatives and friends, and there is no lively atmosphere on the street.
There is no noise of the TV, and there is no noise of mahjong parlor shuffling.
While everyone was entertaining themselves, they were also full of helplessness.
In the middle of the night, men and women sleep on the second and third floors of the watchtower.
Couples who want to get together more alone will move to the fourth floor to take advantage of this rare time to chat more.
But in the early hours of the morning, in the corner of the watchtower, there were some lamentations and sobs from time to time.
Can't tell if someone woke up, or who said the dream words in the dream?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Early in the morning of the first day of the new year.
Zheng Jieming woke up from bed early.
Accustomed to sleeping on the hard board of the truck compartment, he suddenly moved back to bed, he actually felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't sleep this morning.
After tossing and turning, he simply got up from the bed softly, left the second floor of the snoring loudly alone, went to the platform by himself, and turned on the radio
"Sand"
There is no signal at all.
Zheng Jieming shook his head, lowered his voice, thought about it, and simply turned it off again.
"What radio would you like to hear?" FM88.8 Traffic Channel? See if there is a traffic jam today?? Xie Zuosen's voice came from the watchtower.
Zheng Jieming turned his head and watched him come out of the house, "I want to see if I can hear the voices of the survivors, I received you and your sister on a radio station before yesterday, right?" Look, she also drank a lot of beer. β
"It's okay, just beer." Xie Zuosen said.
The two sat on the platform and looked at the zombies on the surrounding wall.
"We have to start working today," Zheng Jieming said, "We couldn't have enjoyed any holidays, but now that it's a Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year's year is later than usual, I'm afraid we have to live again." β
"Too anxious, huh? If yesterday is counted as Chinese New Year's Eve, then today is just past the first day of the new year. Xie Zuosen said.
"We are not driven away by the day, but by the surplus food, and we have to store more food every day so that we don't starve to death." Zheng Jieming said.
He looked in the direction of the city, which was not large, but it still had a few high-rise buildings standing in the center. If you search carefully, I'm afraid you can still make a lot of money.
"Sometimes I think that what we lost today may never be recovered." Zheng Jieming thought about it and said.
"Huh? Thinking too much, right? Xie Zuosen did not adjust to the channel that Zheng Jieming thought.
"Really? Maybe it's overthinking? Zheng Jieming looked at the other party and did not continue to pick up what he wanted to say.
He just suddenly felt that in fact, many things were floating clouds.
The city in front of you, no matter how glorious it once was, can only be remembered by this generation? All that this city, this country, and perhaps even the world has created in the past can no longer be effectively preserved by their generation.
Perhaps in a few generations, everything that has happened will be just a myth.
A legendary story.
Atlantis? Ancient Babylon? It could just be that some ruins were found to prove that there was once a world that existed.
And for people now, all they can think about is how to live.
I don't know when Zheng Jieming thought of these things in his heart
Perhaps, everyone is not just a survivor of the apocalypse, but for a group of survivors, the apocalypse is actually just a witness to the myth of a past life?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Mu Xiaofeng drove in the direction of the amusement park.
"Lucien destroyed Yu Zekai's territory before, and it is said that he also attacked the amusement park, so now that you go over, you shouldn't have anything to gain." Mu Xiaofeng asked.
Zheng Zhilan didn't speak, she just looked out the window.
"Why don't you go on the Wuding River Bridge? To go around such a big circle? She suddenly realized that she was on the wrong track.
"The bridge has long been blown up. When you left, the Youguo people bombed the northern city. Mu Xiaofeng said.
Oh yes, it was the bombing that made Ms. Yang leave the UN ship and take the refugees to re-establish a base on the coast, so could it be that their amusement park was also blown up??
All that remains of the city is ruins.
The zombies did not decrease because of the bombing.
Hehe, so the so-called carpet bombing to clean up zombies is, in fact, just. Zheng Zhilan thought.
If they die, they die, right? Being able to meet him this time was just an accident.
The vehicle finally arrived at the amusement park.
The faΓ§ade of the amusement park has collapsed, and the iconic roller coaster has collapsed.
A large number of zombies are gathering on the road near the amusement park.
Mu Xiaofeng was worried that there would be a problem and parked the car far away.
"Do you really want to pass? There are too many zombies in front, we only have one car, and we are not armed enough, so it is easy to be surrounded when we go in. Mu Xiaofeng said with a little worry.
Zheng Zhilan thought for a moment and looked around, "Are you looking forward to a telescope?" β
Mu Xiaofeng nodded and asked his subordinates to hand the binoculars to Zheng Zhilan.
Zheng Zhilan took the binoculars, hung it diagonally on her shoulder, and looked at the bombed scattered building next to it, and outside was a 10-story office building, half of which had collapsed.
There was a black hole at the door, and some zombies were wandering.
She turned her head to look at Mu Xiaofeng, pulled out the knife from him, and opened the car door.
"What are you doing??" Mu Xiaofeng shouted in surprise.
"Don't come here, I'm running fast by myself, no burden." Zheng Zhilan closed the car door with a bang, and immediately rushed to the ruins next to her, her steps were very light, cat-waisted, and she did not enter the main entrance of the office building, but bypassed the zombie group, climbed directly up the ruins, and climbed up the remaining half of the building along the slope of the stone rubble.
Behind her, two sharper zombies quickly chased after her.
Zheng Zhilan glanced back, thinking that there were only two of them, and it was solved! So he turned his head on the ruins, condescendingly inserted the knife into the head of the first zombie, pulled out the knife, stabbed the second zombie in the face, turned his head and continued to climb up.
Climbing to the height of three floors, she rolled over into the remaining half of the building, continuing up the remaining staircase inside.
"This woman is still like this, maverick." Mu Xiaofeng looked at her back and shook his head.
"Who are you?" Lu Muqing was in the back row and asked Mu Xiaofeng, "Is it from the government?" β
Lu Muqing only felt that since she followed this woman who called herself Lane, everything had become more and more confused, biochemical reagents, research institutes, she originally thought that Lane was just an ordinary Eagle Country government agent or something, but now she began to doubt.
Mu Xiaofeng glanced back at her, "We are all a group of people with no origin, no origin, no relatives, what kind of government are we?" Which government? β
"What is your relationship? She's your superior? Lu Muqing continued to ask.
"Nothing. She's just one of us. Mu Xiaofeng's eyes kept staring at the building, but he kept holding the gun in his hand, ready to rush out to support Lane at any time.
Lu Muqing didn't understand anything because of these two questions, but felt more and more confused, so she simply stopped asking.
After all, Zheng Zhilan is not a person who likes to talk a lot, she never reveals anything related to herself to others, and she never even lets the people around her know her name.
Everyone knew her only as Lane, and nothing else.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After Zheng Zhilan walked into the building, it was safer to go up, and there were no zombies to stop her. Only some of the corpses were lying in the room, emitting a foul stench.
She climbed to the top floor and used her binoculars to take a closer look at the ruins of the amusement park.
"Doesn't look like there's a survivor alive, the whole area seems to be on fire? The plants are all charred black," Zheng Zhilan thought to herself, "The building has collapsed, and if anyone survives, they must have to live in the building before."
"Could it be that you're dead? I'm not surprised that you have immunity to the zombie virus, but if we just die, wouldn't it be too unworthy? β
"Stanley, how long do I need to do something for you? What am I doing this for? And why did he have to admit that it had to be me in Zhongzhou to do this?! What the hell is this man hiding??? β
Zheng Zhilan put down the binoculars helplessly and confusedly, sighed, and then looked for those "things" from her pocket.
Those little powders that were shielded out in peacetime.
