Chapter 1: A Twist of Fate

Ding dong!

"The guide reports that the key monitoring target is still a first-level zombie, and has not successfully evolved into a second-level zombie;"

"Now that the hazard alert is lifted, the owner of the unit can proceed with the predetermined plan!"

Sigh...... It's dangerous!

Listening to the cold mechanical synthesized sound, Zheng Yuanqing let out a long sigh of relief, he knew very well that if that zombie successfully evolved into a second-level mutant, then the only person who could deal with it was the legendary one-

The Awoken!

However, despite the zombie's failure to evolve, in the three days it was in the state of evolution, the team of zombies responsible for protecting it increased from 7 to 13......

13 heads!

Even if they are all first-level zombies, they are far from being able to deal with the skinny Zheng Yuanqing!

"It's been three days......"

Zheng Yuanqing slowly put down the worn-out toy telescope and sighed with a frown; He'd been hiding in this dark, damp cave for three days, and still found nothing!

"Can't wait two more days?"

"Wait for them to leave on their own?"

Zheng Yuanqing hesitated and gritted his teeth, then stretched out his scarred hand and rubbed his flowery eyes vigorously; The long-term lack of food not only made his physique extremely weak, but even caused him to suffer from serious eye diseases, and his eyes began to swell and sting, and his eyes turned black after just a few minutes of staring;

What's more serious is that the dampness in the cave is too heavy, so that several new wounds on his body have begun to suppurate and become inflamed;

If you wait any longer......

Zheng Yuanqing gritted his teeth, raised the telescope again, and reconfirmed the course of action through the narrow hole.

Through the blurry plastic lens, I saw that next to a collapsed farmhouse 300 meters away, more than a dozen ragged and rancid zombies were swirling in place in the blazing sun, screaming twice from time to time without the slightest intention of leaving;

And in the pile of rubble in the middle of the corpses, a dark green Jinbei business car was parked;

Rusty bodies, broken tires, dusty cars...... From the four blurred white letters on the blue background on the body, it can be seen that this is a former bank cash truck;

The door of the back compartment of the cash cart was wide open, and the compartment was empty, and the contents had long since been looted by the survivors.

Except for the 10 cash boxes in the depths of the carriage that were chained together;

And that's the purpose of Zheng Yuanqing's desperate bet!

300 m ......

There are only a dozen zombies nearby, and if they are fast enough, there is a 40% chance that they can get into the carriage before they are surrounded;

Just close the door of the carriage......

"Bastard!"

However, at this moment, Zheng Yuanqing gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, in this short period of time, the male zombie who failed to evolve actually staggered into the empty carriage, as if he wanted to go in and take a good rest!

What to do!

Looking at the car that was so small that he couldn't stand up straight, Zheng Yuanqing instinctively glanced at the equally worn-out black and red fire shovel beside him;

This is his only weapon......

In the kind of small wasteland settlement where he used to be, not to mention guns and ammunition, even having an iron weapon is a luxury!

For this fire shovel, Zheng Yuanqing risked cutting off his head to sneak attack a strong guard, only to grab this strictly controlled iron weapon, and then escaped from the settlement overnight with bruises all over his body, and ran 2 kilometers before entering the pre-found hole outside this deserted village;

But in that cramped carriage, this shovel was useless at all, once the zombies were blocked in the carriage......

etc., is death; Enter, but also die;

Even if it is a retreat, it is also a death.

Zheng Yuanqing knew very well how brutal the concentration camp-like ghetto was to the survivors, beating, torture, and humiliating them...... even forced the survivors to fight to the death with only wooden sticks and stones every day, to seize the corpse crystals that could not be eaten or drunk;

If he goes back, just by defecting, his only fate is to be tortured to death!

What's more, there is no need for him to go back, Chen Mazi, the leader of the settlement, has already begun to search for him, yesterday he saw someone wandering outside the village, as soon as he leaves this small village infested with zombies, he will soon be discovered......

Zheng Yuanqing has no way out!

What to do!

What the hell am I going to do!

Zheng Yuanqing gritted his teeth and clenched the fire shovel, but then released, clenched, and released again......

Ding dong!

Suddenly, the familiar chime rang again, and unlike before, it was much louder and faster!

"Damn it!"

Zheng Yuanqing's cheeks twitched suddenly, as if he realized something, and then quickly lifted his ragged clothes and took out the boxy thing from the rag pocket tightly tied around his waist;

The white body, red trim, and a wide display;

This thing is like a pre-apocalyptic Lenovo 7-inch tablet, as ordinary as a broken computer that can be seen everywhere in the entire wasteland;

But......

"Attention this unit holder!"

"There is only 1% of the guide's energy left, and it has reached the warning line; From now on, the Mentor will go into hibernation; ”

"The holder is requested to replenish at least 3 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy, or 5 first-order crystal nuclei, or 1 second-order crystal nucleus within 1 hour; Otherwise, the mentor will initiate the self-destruction process; ”

1 hour!

Listening to the voice coming from the tablet, Zheng Yuanqing's cold sweat instantly flowed down;

Guide!

This is his only hope!

It was precisely because he picked up this tablet with powerful functions that he dared to give up his life to make a desperate bet!

If this is the only hope......

"Fight!"

Zheng Yuanqing clenched his teeth suddenly, then reached out and grabbed the fire shovel and jumped up, burrowed out of the hole, braving the scorching sunlight and rushed straight towards the cash truck, and the skinny body burst out with unprecedented strength!

The desperate situation of certain death finally stimulated Zheng Yuanqing's physical potential!

Roar!

The smell of the living penetrated into the nostrils, and the dozen or so zombies were instantly activated with ferocity, and then quickly turned their dirty heads one by one, stretched out their rotten arms and rushed towards the rushing figure, and their running speed was exactly the same as that of the living!

100 meters;

150 meters!

200 meters!

Zheng Yuanqing suddenly stopped 100 meters away from the corpses, then took a steady step, slowly raised the fire shovel in his hand, and stared at the dozen or so zombies rushing with bated breath;

With a terrible roar, the first zombie instantly rushed to the front, and when the zombie stepped within three meters, Zheng Yuanqing suddenly gritted his teeth-

Crash!

The gravel under his feet made a crisp sound, Zheng Yuanqing's body quickly became shorter, and the shriveled muscles suddenly exerted force, and then rushed out, with a burst of dust, and at the moment when he approached the zombie, Zheng Yuanqing roared, raised the fire shovel with both hands, and slashed fiercely at his left shoulder!

Call!

The worn-out fire shovel made a piercing sound of breaking the air, and the polished edge of the shovel streaked a silver light in the sunlight;

Click!

Hearing only a crisp sound, the zombie's entire left arm and half-pulled left chest were split in an instant, and a pile of black and stinky internal organs was pulled out of the chest, and the zombie's entire body was also violently swept away by this huge force, quickly tilted to the left;

And it was too late, and at the moment when the zombie's body was out of balance, Zheng Yuanqing's waist suddenly twisted, and with the rotation of his waist, his arms exerted force again, and the fire shovel that had been split down shone fiercely on the upper right, and a shining silver light crossed the blazing sunlight again!

Poof!

Poof!

With two muffled sounds, a corpse still in a biting motion fell to the cracked ground, and a headless corpse collapsed limply;

Roar! Roar!

Watching their companions fall to the ground, the remaining zombies first slowed down their footsteps, and then let out an angry roar almost at the same time, and then the pair of rotten legs also increased their running speed;

At this moment, Zheng Yuanqing also took back the fire shovel at the same time, and then rushed towards the rushing corpses!

A split, a pry!

Split again, tease again!

With three streaks of silver light, the three headless corpses collapsed limply, and the remaining corpses pressed up like a wall of corpses;

said that it was too late, and at the moment when the corpse wall was pressed, Zheng Yuanqing quickly withdrew the shovel and turned around and ran out of more than 30 meters, and then panted heavily, turned around and steadied his footing again, repeating the tactics just now;

One rush, one retreat!

A split, a pry!

Distance yourself and break them one by one!

After three years of corpse hunting, Zheng Yuanqing summed up this simple, direct, but extremely fierce tactic;

Although the zombies in reality are very different from those in "Resident Evil", they are not only responsive and fast, but also more terrifying......

But in any case, zombies are also human appearances after all, so dealing with a small group of corpses by one person is actually similar to fighting in a group; Moreover, zombies not only don't know how to take guys in a fight, but also don't know what cooperation is and what dodging is, and they will only rampage with instinct;

Therefore, although it is extremely dangerous for one person to face multiple zombies, as long as he has a weapon in his hand, he shoots crisply, and advances and retreats decisively, it is enough to dodge the claws full of viruses;

But the key question is-

Poof!

When the last headless corpse fell to the ground, Zheng Yuanqing fell to his knees heavily, panting desperately, the sweat on his head dripping on the cracked soil like rain, accompanied by severe pain like cramps all over his body, and the intense dizziness was constantly impacting his brain, making his eyes black for a while!

Due to the frequent lack of food, lack of clothing, new injuries and old injuries, major and minor diseases, the physique of every person in the last days is not even half of that of a healthy period, and he simply does not have enough physical strength to deal with a dozen zombies!

If it weren't for the desperate situation that stimulated his physical potential, Zheng Yuanqing's only fate would be to be torn alive;

But anyway, he won the bet!

After resting for half an hour, Zheng Yuanqing staggered to his feet, and then picked up a cement brick weighing more than 30 catties from the ground, came to a corpse and smashed it down;

Click!

As the cement bricks fell, the corpse instantly cracked, splashing a puddle of pungent black mud;

Then, Zheng Yuanqing squatted next to this black mud, took out a handful of homemade plastic tweezers from his waist, and skillfully picked out a crystal the size of an ordinary diamond from it;

This is the crystal nucleus, or "corpse crystal"!

This is the most valuable thing on the zombies, and the leaders of the settlements rely on this thing to survive in exchange for food from the north;

However, not all zombies have crystal nuclei in their heads, Zheng Yuanqing smashed more than a dozen corpses in a row, and only then did he staggered into the Jinbei car with a rag wrapped in 9 crystal nuclei;

Bang Dang!

As the door of the car closed heavily, Zheng Yuan leaned softly against the cash box;

Looking at the tablet in his hand, his skinny face showed a comfortable smile for the first time in three years;

A turn of fate -

It's finally getting started!
