Chapter 13: Kyungwon and the Zombies

Glancing back at the black vines dormant in the darkness, Kyungwon left the fruit shop.

Everything that should be looted is gone, and we have to rush to the next place, so there is no need to stay here longer.

The next destination is a small supermarket marked "Container", which is very close to the fruit store, all on the same street.

This street seems to be a shopping street for nearby residents, bubble tea shops, stationery shops, snack bars... Signs of various shops can be faintly identified among the ruins.

Yes, ruins.

The surrounding buildings were bombarded, the buildings of the entire street collapsed, cars were flattened by collapsed cement blocks, and exposed steel bars were everywhere.

The fruit shop was on the edge of the bombardment, so it was only the extent of the damage to the cracks in the walls, but a few steps further on, you could see the charred black earth.

Along the way, Kyungwon was accustomed to seeing similar views, and the city seemed to have been baptized by bombers, giving him the illusion of wandering in the ruins of the battlefield.

Although the extensive bombing made the road conditions quite bad, and many places could not pass smoothly, it also reduced the probability of encountering zombies.

The artillery fire annihilated most of the zombies, and the zombie clusters that were lucky enough not to be blown up would not appear in the center of the bombardment, and for him, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

For example, today, Jingyuan encountered a total of three waves of zombies.

The first wave was at the gate of the ten-mile sunny community, which was the dying zombie hiding in the shadows, almost rotting and dying.

The second wave was in the ruins of a certain square, and Xiaobai from a distance reminded him, so he didn't look closer, but with his sense of smell and hearing, he sensed that there were 3 humanoid creatures there, standing there motionless like sculptures.

The third wave was at the bottom of a bombing crater behind the arch bridge.

A 5,6-meter-deep crater with two zombies in it, one with a broken right leg and right arm, which was blown off, and the amputated part can be seen with obvious burns and burns from the flames, and the other is even worse, the entire lower body is gone, only the part above the waist is left.

Since the two zombies were almost incapacitated, Kyungwon had the courage to take a closer look.

It was an unbearable smell of corpses, and he blocked his sense of smell for the first time.

To be honest, that image was very impactful.

Looking down from the edge of the pit, you can see the whole picture of the two zombies.

The faces of the two zombies were rotten due to the decay and rain soaking, and the blue-black rotten flesh hung on Sen Bai's cheekbones, hanging and adhered by the filamentous fascia, but it was still hanging downward, like a lump of thin mud.

Their faces are gray, their festering skin has large and small black spots, their exposed gums and teeth are jet black, their eyes are turned outward, like the eyes of a dead fish that are foaming, their stomachs are pierced and bursting due to flatulence, their intestines are dragging in the mud, and they look fatter than normal people overall, probably because of bulging and edema of the skin.

Nausea, wanting to vomit, and scared people have nightmares at night, this is Kyungwon's first impression of these two zombies.

Even if their bodies rotted like this, these two zombies are not dead.

They were at the bottom of the pit, and when they felt Kyungwon and Xiaobai pass above, they stretched out their hands as if they were hungry for something.

The zombie with broken hands and feet, crawling on the stones and scorched earth, grabbed the weeds with his only remaining left hand, squirmed on his right leg, and crawled towards the positions of Kyung Yuan and Xiaobai, but the weeds couldn't support its weight, and climbed up a little, and the weeds were torn off by it, and even the skin and flesh with the palms were scraped off a greasy layer.

And the zombie with only the upper body left, like a turtle that can't turn over its shell, its hands digging the ground only make it keep falling in place.

Although no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't crawl out of that pit, but it made Kyungwon feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

Life is better than death, that was the first word that came to his mind.

Acting only on instinct, can such a horrible appearance still be called alive?

The thought that the zombies in the pit were once living humans like him made a strong emotion nurture in his heart.

He may also become like that, and he has a hunch in his heart that if he pounces on Xiaobai's body last night and tastes the taste of flesh and blood, his will will be devoured, and he will become a creature like these "zombies", wandering in this ruined city by instinct.

Never turn out like that!

He was going to live as a man and die as a man.

So at that moment, he made a pact with himself, no matter how tempting the so-called living creatures and fresh flesh and blood were for him now, he would never break through his bottom line.

...

It took about 15 minutes to cross three or four hundred meters of ruins.

As luck would have it, Xiaobai dug out a bag of self-heating rations buried in the sand and gravel under a cement slab.

Army green, quite complete sealed tin canned packaging, with the method of use and ingredient list written on the back, and the shelf life is as long as 6 years, even if it expires, it should not have expired for too long.

Judging by the ingredient list, it contains a dehydrated rice and lentil beef cooking pack, as well as lime, heating water and an egg roll, plus salt, wipes, paper towels and matches.

A small can, stuffed to the brim.

I don't know if it was accidentally left by the soldiers, or it was dropped from the fleeing people, usually this kind of individual rations can be bought on shopping websites, and some military fans will buy them at home.

Jing Won put the canned food in his travel bag, and could only say that he was grateful for the gift of nature.

When you come to the end of the street, you can see the half-collapsed small supermarket with the sign "Shunxiang Supermarket" hanging on it.

Before Jing Yuan walked into the door of the supermarket, Xiaobai suddenly grinned and let out a low roar.

It was covered in fur and stared at the supermarket door.

Kyungwon pulled out his pistol and pulled the safe.

He smelled the rancid stench coming from the supermarket, and in the shadows, a zombie walked out with very slow steps.

Different from the disabled zombies in the open air, this zombie has intact limbs, a thin body, a skinny skeleton, eyes turned outward, a mouth wide open enough to fit a fist, and a mouth full of black teeth all grown into a miniature triangular scraper, which makes people feel chills in their hearts.

Its nails are slender and sharp, like short sharp knives on its fingers, its skin is wrinkled, like soaked toilet paper and then dried, the blood vessels on its gray-white skin protrude, and the dark black veins spread like leaf veins.

It moved slowly at the speed of an old man's walk, and when it was seen from Kyungwon, it took 10 seconds to walk out of the gate, and in those 10 seconds it had only walked 5 meters away.
