When Su Hao opened his eyes, he saw a daisy.

The white petals bloom in the morning light, with crystal dewdrops, reflecting a very faint, colorful rainbow.

It was very close to where Su Hao was lying, only five centimeters from the tip of his nose, and he could even smell a faint aroma.

In the distance, the dull and solemn sound of the morning bell was heard.

Su Hao silently recited the numbers, from one, to eight.

In that direction, there is the railway station south of the city. The most significant landmark is the huge bell tower.

Memory, which is completely consistent with reality.

He got up from the ground with a smile, glanced at the road that was already dense with traffic and pedestrians, turned around, took a deep breath, raised his feet, and walked into the "Parkson" commercial plaza next to it, where the glass doors were already open. After making sure that no one noticed him, he slowly walked to the public restroom, smashed the red window with the bold "119" with his fist, and took out the heavy fire axe from it......

Except for himself, no one knew that Su Hao was from fifty-six years later.

That is, the future.

It was a world full of rancid stench and death, and the clearest part of the memory was completely occupied by blood, bones, and scraps of flesh. The sky was overcast, and even the sun rarely appeared.

Su Hao built a time shuttle. However, the dimensional weight generated by the faster-than-light transition will cause extremely strong mental shocks to living beings. As a last resort, he had no choice but to adopt a backup plan———— using the various materials he had collected, to create the most powerful body that concentrated all the physical advantages of human beings, and through consciousness infusion and energy catalysis, he could smoothly return to 2020 after being reborn. ，……

Su Hao in the mirror is no longer the old dragon clock in his memory.

He was now tall, with very broad shoulders, and wore an old leather jacket that showed the perfect golden ratio between waist, legs, and upper body. The buttons on the chest are wide open, revealing the tangled pectoral muscles covered by a thin undershirt. The high bridge of his nose and slightly sunken black eyes make him look full of strength and heroic charm.

Turning his head, he glanced at the quartz clock hanging from the wall———— the hands had just passed 8:15 a.m.

Time, almost.

Su Hao squinted his eyes and showed a slightly melancholy smile. He was silent for a few seconds, picked up his axe, walked through the hallway, down the stairs into the underground part of the mall, and with the help of the pointing arrows, came to a metal gate with a sign with a red circle and a white background on the surface, and next to it was marked "Warehouse Heavy Land, Idlers are not allowed".

A security guard in a gray uniform walked out of the duty room. He was a little stunned, obviously not quite understanding why Su Hao would appear in such a place. His eyes immediately fell on the fire axe in the other party's hand, and his expression became panicked and nervous.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his self-defense baton, grabbed it, and asked loudly vigilantly: "Stop———— who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

Su Hao smiled faintly, and suddenly exerted force under his feet, rushing forward at a speed of more than 100 meters. Before the security guard could react, he had already rushed into the warehouse, closed the gate with his backhand, and slammed the heavy latch hard.

The energy collected in the future will only be enough for the shuttle to run until this time.

He couldn't do anything more to prepare, so he could only wait in silence while he was as safe as possible.

Roars and shouts were heard outside the gates. Immediately after, there was a rush of footsteps and a phone call to the police. There are more and more people gathered outside, and it is noisy. The key was inserted into the keyhole and turned vigorously, and leather shoes and heavy objects slammed against the door wall, accompanied by curses and reprimands. The voice was indistinct, barely audible words such as "police", "may want to rob", "could it be a fugitive".

The latch was stuck from the inside, and to force a breakthrough from the outside, it would have to be cut by blasting, oxygen welding, or destroying the wall.

Su Hao turned around and looked at the warehouse he was in with a critical eye.

Hundreds of cardboard boxes are neatly stacked on the shelves. Judging from the external labels, the storage should be shoes and various bags. He patiently sifted through the mountains of cargo and pulled out a sturdy and versatile hiking backpack and a pair of air-cushioned sneakers that corresponded to his size.

Teleportation was full of unknowable dangers, and he couldn't bring anything more back from the future. Except for some weapons and potions that teleport to predetermined coordinates in advance...... Most of the equipment and necessities of life can only be obtained from the real world.

Time passed minute by minute.

More than six hours later, there was no sound outside the gate, a deathly silence.

Su Hao packed up all the things he needed, picked up the fire axe that was placed diagonally at his feet, and slowly clenched it.

The corners of his mouth were gradually curving upwards, and his face was sickly pale.

Firmly grasp the cold steel latch and twist it in the direction it opens. With the tooth-aching friction of metal, the heavy gate slowly loosened a gap.

Looking at the light shining through the crack in the door, Su Hao suddenly hesitated. He lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then raised it again, and there was no confusion in his eyes. In its place, it was unprecedented ferocity, decisiveness, and perseverance.

"No matter what the future holds, it's my own path———— "......

Sunlight poured down through the glass windows, and a dull heat coalesced on the ground.

The corridor in the basement is not long. Soon, Su Hao had already reached the end and ascended the stairs to the ground.

There was no one, and there were shocking large traces of blood left on the white terrazzo ladder.

Like an alert and nimble cat, Su Hao moved briskly and agilely to climb the stairs, and the moment his eyes made contact with the ground mall space, he immediately caught a figure standing about ten meters in front of him.

It was a woman.

She was wearing a black skirt, and judging from her appearance, she should be an employee at a counter in the mall. The stockings on the legs were torn, there were no shoes on the feet, and the white shirt on the upper body was torn from the shoulders, revealing the pink bra suspenders. The skin on the face is as gray as cement, with very distinct, irregularly shaped corpse spots. The foundation that had been rubbed cracked open, creating a dense web-like gap. The eye socket was propped up by the swollen eyeball, and the pupils could not be seen, and the eyelids were rolled like dead bodies.

She obviously didn't rely on visual capture of the target, she tilted her head and sniffed vigorously at the slightest hint of human breath in the air...... Suddenly, she found Su Hao, who had just walked up the steps, and immediately opened her chapped lips with yellow-green pus, revealing her sharp teeth, and making a terrible "ho-ho" sound in her throat, stumbling and stumbling over.

"Click————"

The fire axe in Su Hao's hand accurately slashed the woman's forehead, and the hard skull was easily broken. The woman seemed to be drained of her strength by some kind of machine in an instant, her eyes widened, and she collapsed to the ground like mud.

On 11 May 2020, the world was swept by a strange viral storm. The demon, which is invisible to the naked eye, must have spread through the air, and at 8:15 a.m., it suddenly bared its fangs at unsuspecting humans.

Less than 50 percent of humanity is spared, but they have to face a reality that is even more cruel than death———— their own kind of zombies, and have a keen interest in all things that move. They are slow creatures, but they are carnivorous creatures in the truest sense of the word. Gnawing, biting, and even scratching by fingernails will cause the virus to enter the body directly, using the most brutal and direct methods to continuously reduce the number of survivors and expand the dense zombie army.

In the future, this is history as everyone knows.

Now, it's just a memory that exists in Su Hao's mind.

He reached out and grabbed the clothes of the female corpse that were twitching under his feet, flipped the corpse over, grabbed the axe, and slashed at the junction between the corpse's waist and hips. The hard metal blade sliced through the fragile flesh and sank deep into the spine.

Su Haofu lowered his body and flipped the sticky flesh with the tip of his axe. Soon, a white bone fragment that was reversely born from the tail vertebra appeared in front of him.

It is small, the size of a grain of rice. It is very white and has a shiny sheen characteristic of chitin.

This is called the "Luthor Agglutination Layer", or "Silver Bone" for short.

After the outbreak of the virus, many people are studying zombies. In 2021, Luther, an Englishman. When dissecting the zombie specimen, Kavez found that there was a strange bulge in the caudal vertebra of the second segment. This strange alien creature has been verified on hundreds of zombies. According to the living habits and behavior characteristics of zombies, this hard bump was finally confirmed to be an accumulation of viruses and trace hormones in the zombies.

Silver bones can be extracted from a strange active substance. The researchers soon discovered that it could strengthen the hardness and toughness of the metal and greatly increase the K-value of the steel. Its biggest effect is to have a significant calming effect on the human central nervous system and the coagulation of aggregate elements. It was from that time on, that Silver Bone was listed as one of the most important strategic materials by all the group's forces.

Through the glass windows, you can see more than a dozen slow-moving zombies staggering outside the mall. The streets are full of cars of all kinds. They collided with each other, some with the doors wide open, some with blood all over their seats. At the end of the road in the distance and inside the mall, there were hurried running footsteps from time to time, and terrifying screams were heard.

Su Hao strode to the door of the mall, raised his head, and looked at the sunny sky with mixed feelings.

That's right, this is the earth, the beginning of the collapse of order, chaos, violence, killing, death, and all other evils.

There's no way I'm going to change anything, and I can't turn the tide on my own.

I just want to get more.

He lifted his feet, stepped down the steps, silently recited the map he had memorized in his mind, and walked deeper into the street directly ahead......

This is Kunming.

A double-decker bus with the words "389" on the top overturned on its side in the middle of the road. The rubber tires and metal body have scratched more than 30 meters of friction marks on the asphalt road, and more than half of the windows are open, bringing out red blood marks from the inside. The inside of the blurred glass was littered with bloody handprints, and a dozen mutated infected people gathered around the corpse of a victim, tearing at the flesh of what had once been their own kind.

The traffic lights still change between red and green, and the dense traffic jams the entire street. Under the tall silver birch tree, a long-dead traffic policeman sits paralyzed. His legs were crushed by a Jetta sedan that rushed onto the sidewalk, his head in a police hat rolled down next to the tires like a ball, and the broken neck left clear tooth marks, and the bright red liquid gushing out of his chest cavity smeared all over his body, and slowly slipped off the surface of the yellow-and-white striped fluorescent vest, absorbed by the cotton police uniform, and turned into damp black-red coverings.

In the distance, frantic and hysterical shouts were heard from time to time. The sun-scorched air was filled with blood that was almost suffocating. As far as the eye can see, there are faltering infected people everywhere, some are on the verge of losing their minds, and many more have completely turned into zombies.

Su Hao bent his body slightly, quickly walking through the gap between the green belt and the wall. The old leather jacket and gray trousers on his body are ordinary in style, but they can blend in with most environments, and they are the best camouflage.

A few minutes later, he had crossed the alleyway between the mall building and nearby buildings, and saw a striking circular blue "P" sign hanging from the top of a telephone pole. Just below it, a red arrow pointing to the right is facing the entrance to the ramp that leads underground.

If he hadn't obtained a few drawings of the old city renovation by chance, Su Hao would not have chosen this city as the receiving location of the space-time landmark. Back in the day, yellowed and worn drawings were just antiques waiting to be seen on the black market. After memorizing the coordinates of all the streets and buildings on the drawings, the utility storage room on the ground floor of this underground parking lot became the landing point where he sent the first batch of important supplies.

A railing with a yellow-black diagonal stripe is at the intersection. Next to it, in the narrow monitoring booth, there was a zombie in a black suit. Its left arm was ripped off along with the sleeve of its clothes, and the edges of the wound were covered in pus and half-rotting gray muscle. The nameplate worn on his chest shows that he was originally the caretaker of the building's parking lot.

"Bang ———— bang bang ————"

The sound of heads and bodies colliding with walls is muffled and clear. It should have been attacked by an infected person, and fled to the guard box in panic to avoid danger. The virus, which entered from the wound, quickly took over the body, turning it into a terrifying monster that loves fresh meat.

Su Hao's face was intertwined with cruelty and excitement, he stepped forward quickly, picked up his axe, and smashed the glass on the side of the sentry box. The infected administrator immediately poked his head out of the sharp shards of glass and twisted his body desperately to break out of his cage. Before it could let out its first howl for freedom, the fire axe that fell again had hit the neck accurately, splitting the ugly head on the spot.

In the midst of the stenching corpse, Su Hao accurately found the insignificant, but very precious silver bone. He wasted no time, and after loading the loot into the tube metal bottle that had been prepared in advance, he immediately walked around the pole and strode towards the depths of the dark parking lot......

It's not as sunny as it seems, but it's not as dark as you might think. Energy-saving lamps are installed in the corners of the walls, and although the wattage is not high, the light emitted is enough to make people see the road and obstacles.

On the car wash platform more than 20 meters away from the exit on the first floor, an expensive and luxurious "Mercedes-Benz" off-road vehicle was parked. The doors on either side of the driver's seat were open, the windshield was smashed, and dozens of zombies squirmed back and forth in the cabin like maggots. Through the gap between the car window and the body, you can see that the corpses are fighting for the target, which is two men and women who have been gnawed beyond recognition. They had been dead for a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that a zombie holding his buttocks and biting fat still had a lace thong hanging from his mouth, and a bloodstained men's leather shoe falling from the other end of the car door, Su Hao would not have been able to judge the true sex of those two piles of bones and rotten meat.

He walked silently in the backlit shadows, like a most agile gecko, leaving no trace to be found.

Su Hao is not a strange person with martial arts, nor is he a strong and invincible hero in the comics. Although his current body has the best human genes, in essence, it is still the most ordinary ordinary person.

He hasn't evolved yet.

Over the long years of fighting zombies and monsters of all kinds, humans have accumulated a wealth of experience. All non-human species that emerged after the start of the viral storm will have color illustrated books and relevant descriptions in future textbooks. Su Hao knows their habits and knows their weaknesses.

Due to the damage caused by the virus to the central nervous system, zombies have little visual ability. As a complement to their perception of the outside world, their sense of hearing and smell becomes particularly acute. They are slow and clumsy, but they don't feel pain, and their cravings for food increase dramatically. The only way to kill them is to destroy the brain, which has shrunk by a third but still controls the entire body.

Su Hao can use factors such as terrain, distance, and smell to solve the problem of lonely infected people. But he couldn't deal with more than two zombies at the same time, let alone a dense crowd of corpses.

Fresh flesh has an irresistible temptation for zombies. No one knows how long the meal of the corpses will last. He had to get the equipment he had teleported in advance as soon as possible. One more minute of delay multiplies the likelihood of accidents.

Fortunately, the corpses did not find Su Hao sneaking in the shadows. Following the fluorescent arrows on the walls and the drawings he memorized in his mind, he soon reached the end of the third basement level of the parking lot, and entered the storage room cubicle that matched his memory.

It's just an open space of about 30 square meters, and there is no door. Because the distance between the columns and the pipes on both sides is too narrow, it can only be used to stack bulky and worthless packaging boxes and other debris.

Maintaining a balanced and agile speed, the moment he stepped into the storage room, Su Hao immediately felt that several eyes fell on him. Accompanied by a faint murderous aura and fear.
