Chapter 12: Departure

Tomorrow is the time for the evacuation as announced on the radio.

Lin Zifeng thought about it again and again, but decided to go to Tianma Square a day earlier, if there was no accident, it should have been crowded with evacuated people at this time. In case something happens on the way to set off tomorrow and delays the time, I am afraid that I and Jiang Hanyu will be trapped in this dead city. What's more, now that I'm not alone, I have to be more careful in many things.

After he told Jiang Hanyu about his decision, the girl didn't say anything, just smiled at him lightly and said, "It's good if you decide, I will follow you." Then they started to help pack what they needed. Looking at her who was busy walking around the house, Lin Zifeng suddenly thought of his former life, and had a feeling that he had wasted his time.

The two backpacks were stuffed with a variety of high-energy snacks, biscuits, chocolates, ham sausages, and a few bottles of purified water were found and stuffed into the pockets on the side of the backpacks. By the time everything was cleaned up, it was only past nine o'clock. Lin Zifeng walked into the bedroom, looked at his small bed, and touched the computer he assembled a few years ago, this is where he has lived for a few years, if it weren't for this accident, maybe he would have lived here for a long, long time. An indescribable sadness gradually came over him, for him, this is not only a simple place to live, but also represents his former chic and comfortable life, and all this is coming to an end today.

Jiang Hanyu looked at the figure of the man standing at the door for a long time, a little distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Just thinking about whether to go over and say something, Lin Zifeng had already turned around and walked over, "Let's go, it's almost time, you have to arrive before dark." With that, he reached out and took the girl's hand and led her out of the house.

The two of them have already changed their clothes, although wearing more may add a little bit of protection, but in the end, it is summer, and it is not suitable to wear too much after all. Jiang Hanyu is still dressed like that, with long hair over the shoulders tied casually at the back of her head into a ponytail, swaying from time to time with her movements. Vest shorts, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, youthful and beautiful but revealing sexy. Lin Zifen's camouflage uniform had been completely stained with the blood of zombies, so he had to change into an ordinary black half-sleeve, and found a pair of overall-style pants underneath, just for those pockets that could hold more sundries.

Ma Li closed the door and locked it, Lin Zifeng's face didn't show any nostalgia, and he still looked a little cold. At this time, the girl suddenly clenched his hand, and Lin Zifeng turned around to meet her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, sparkling, but he already understood what she meant.

"I'm fine, it's normal to be a little reluctant."

Lin Zifeng raised his hand and touched her hair, "Okay, it's time to go, remember what I said, in case there is any danger today, you take care of yourself first, do you know?" ”

The girl nodded and smiled shallowly: "I know, I'm not stupid." ”

The clear blue sky resembles a calm lake, and occasionally filamentous clouds can be seen slowly changing shapes. Summer days are sunny, and it's often like this. In normal times, the sky was always filled with noisy sounds, the honking of cars, the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and the laughter of running children, but now it was just a deathly silence, black smoke rising everywhere, and the rustling sound was a bit like the waves of the sea, but mixed with bursts of heart-palpitating roars.

It's been more than a week since the disaster happened, and the air is filled with the stench of rotting corpses, and the clothes on the zombies who have been walking all the time have long been torn due to the friction of the collision, and the shoes on their feet have become uneven due to the friction, or they simply don't know where they fell, and they are staggering forward with one foot high and one foot low. Their flesh has begun to dry up due to the loss of moisture, the whites of the eyes are barely visible in the sunken eye sockets, the teeth that have become more prominent after the mutation have become sharper, and the bony claws have grown long nails. People who were once civilized have now become beasts that crave flesh and blood.

The two of them hid all the way, and came to the gate of the community again, the body of the security guard had begun to decompose, the buzzing flies enjoyed their food, and the stench spread in the air made Jiang Hanyu couldn't help but cover his nose. She quietly asked Lin Zifeng: "Where is the city government?" I don't know much about you here, but I've only been here for a few days. "Just go down this road, and when you see the Pegasus statue, you'll be there, and you'll be on the opposite side of the city hall." Lin Zifeng patiently answered her question, and cut off the head of a zombie wandering at the door. He looked at the cars crowded together on the road, and the zombies that were about to move inside, and always felt that this part of the road might not be as easy as he thought.

But fortunately, the zombies' eyesight is generally not very good, but their hearing is quite normal, and their sense of smell is relatively sensitive, as long as they and Jiang Hanyu are careful not to make too much noise and not get hurt, it stands to reason that there will not be much danger. He looked at the zombies wandering on the road not far away, and suddenly found something unusual, where are the stray cats and dogs that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys on weekdays? Could it be that they were all eaten by zombies?

Jiang Hanyu saw Lin Zifeng frowning and thinking, a little curious, and asked, "What's wrong?" What are you worried about? But seeing that the man shook his head slightly and said nothing, he turned around and began to walk towards the east, and she hurriedly followed. The location of this community is actually relatively remote, probably on the west side of the entire Z City, walking down the road, both sides are all kinds of shops, small restaurants, stationery stores, and small convenience stores. Lin Zifeng watched these shops as he walked, if there was any accident that failed during the evacuation, then these places were good places to scavenge for supplies, at least he could ensure that he and Jiang Hanyu lived for a while. But they had been walking for half an hour, and there was still no sign of any animal except the broken bones and wreckage on the side of the street, even the wandering zombies. Even the birds in the sky seem to be much less.

As he looked around, he suddenly heard a strange call, like the crow he had heard when he was a child, but it felt much sharper.

The sound seemed to come from above, and Lin Zifeng hurriedly looked up and looked around, but found nothing.

"Wow--wow--" There was a rough hoarse voice behind him, and he turned around sharply and pulled out his long knife, and finally found something in a small alley on the side of the street.

There was no sunlight in the alley, and in the corner of the shadows, there was a corpse that could no longer be seen, and a strange black bird pecked at the flesh on it. As if noticing something, it turned its head to look in the direction of the two of them, and faintly could see two red dots of light. Suddenly, as if a whirlwind was blowing, it fluttered its wings and flew up, its wings spread out for more than a meter long. The blackbird circled over the heads of the two of them for a long time and flew to the balcony of a residential building behind Lin Zifeng.

There was a torn gap in the steel barbed window, and a huge bird's nest filled the entire balcony.

Lin Zifeng looked at the huge nest, his throat was a little tight, and the girl behind him was holding his hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.
