Chapter 22 The Diary of the Survivor

A bang of gunshot suddenly came in from outside the window. Lin Tianyu felt a stern heart. He hurriedly stuffed two novels and diary into his dimensional pocket, and rushed out with the gun.

Next to an abandoned RV outside the gas station, Yao Mingfei looked at a distant alley with a look of surprise and doubt, and the submachine gun in his hand was still emitting white smoke.

"What happened?"

"I saw a figure, and it flashed from there and disappeared." Yao Mingfei shouted loudly, looking a little excited. Lin Tianyu looked in the direction he pointed, and it looked empty.

The others rushed over one after another and started asking questions in a verbal way.

Just as Yao Mingfei explained, Nicholas walked towards that direction with a gun in his hand. Lin Tianyu's heart moved and followed.

A few drops of green blood were sprinkled beside a trash can that had been knocked over, and it looked very fresh. Nicholas looked at the bloodstains, as if thinking.

Lin Tianyu called him, and Nicholas realized, "This is the blood of the mutant. Go and tell others about my discovery."

The two walked out of the alley, and Nicholas said in a dark and solemn manner: "It seems that there are indeed mutants in this town. I really don't know what they survived over the years. Selena, use the detector to search."

Selena nodded, took out a radar-like instrument and scanned around for a few times, "The life detector did not find any creatures."

Nicholas pointed without comment, "I think we should go all out, Huang, have you found gasoline?"

Fatty Huang nodded, "I found some."

"Very good. Make up the parts we consumed, and prepare some in a safe place. We may be able to use them on our return trip, and then we will set off right away."

Fatty Huang nodded, "By the way, I found a gun shop. Do you want to search?

Nicholas shook his head, "Our current weapons are enough. If anyone wants to go, go, I'll give you fifteen minutes."

Lin Tianyu was not interested in the gun shop. As Nicholas said, their weapons are enough now, and the weapons that can be sold in the gun shop will definitely not be too powerful. Even countries with legal guns cannot sell automatic weapons to the public at will. Yao Mingfei and Aramis were very interesting, but they gave up when they saw no one supported them.

The group replenished the gasoline and set off again, quickly throwing the town far behind.

Drive along the highway, after that unexpected encounter, the atmosphere became tense. The surrounding empty wilderness and abandoned buildings appearing from time to time on both sides of the road will look a little more gloomy.

Due to the convenient transportation, the team advanced at least thousands of miles in a day. As the sky gradually became dark, the convoy stopped at an old house on the side of the road.

"Let's spend the night here tonight," Nicholas said, parked his car outside the door of the house.

"Place the car well and make sure that if there is danger, we can set off as soon as possible. Selena, and check again to see if there is anything around."

Selena agreed and found that there was no sign of any creatures after scanning the face, but this did not make the group feel very relieved.

Everyone checked the house and found that the house was quite large, divided into two floors, with a large area on the lower floor. The upper floor was actually a closed attic. There were two doors in front and back of the house and more than a dozen windows. From the perspective of a defensive stronghold, it could be said that there were loopholes everywhere.

Nicholas looked at the setting sun outside the window, looking a little worried.

"What's wrong, President, is there any problem?" Lin Tianyu couldn't help asking.

"I have had a fight with those mutants. Although they have no wisdom, they can communicate with each other in a very strange way. Moreover, their desire and persistence for food are very terrible. Although we are very far from that town, I honestly don't think we are safe. After all, there may be mutants nearby, so we'd better start preparing now."

After saying that, he said loudly, "If you have any ideas about how to increase the safety of the house, please share it with you."

Lin Tianyu nodded. If the mutant attacks at night, it will be very troublesome. This broken house is not conducive to defense at all. However, he has some ideas about how to deal with zombies. On the one hand, it comes from experience in the game. On the other hand, for a doomsday fantasy maniac, it is normal to fantasize how to fight against the zombies' siege.

"I have some ideas," Lin Tianyu said. Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he continued, "First of all, we must seal the window."

This is easy to think of. Everyone took action together, dismantling the tables and chairs in the room into pieces of wooden boards and strips, then booked several windows to a tight end, leaving only a few shooting holes as big as a palm. Then they blocked the front and rear doors with heavy objects, and finally built a temporary shelter in the room with several sofas.

Originally, Fatty Huang proposed to seal all the doors and windows in the house, but the workload was a bit too high. Seeing that it was already dark, I could only forget it.

Because no one has lived in it for decades, all the electricity and water here have stopped, and all the food has rotted and deteriorated. However, no one has planned to eat the food from this world, so there is no disappointment.

At night, everyone gathered in the room and cooked things with alcohol lamps.

It was obviously the first time that Yao Mingfei and Aramis experienced this situation and seemed excited and uneasy. Lin Tianyu comforted them and said that there was no effect. Forget it, he was not too worried about the dangers he might encounter tonight. He seemed to have experienced this once, but compared to the last time, both the number of teammates and the configuration of weapons were far stronger, not to mention that his own strength has long been different from the past. Since there was no problem with the last time, what else can I worry about this time?

While eating, Nicholas began to assign tasks.

"We must take turns tonight. In order to ensure that there is no accident, two people will be arranged to watch each other. Let's confirm each other's companions now."

The selection of companions was entirely based on the principle of voluntaryism. Nicholas was obviously unwilling to point fingers at everyone on such trivial matters. Soon people chose each other. Yao Mingfei and Fatty Huang, Selena and Aramis, and Lin Tianyu had no one to choose, so they had to join Nicholas.

Nicholas was not surprised by the result of this, "Then Lin and I will be responsible for the first shift. After eating, you go to bed early. I will wake up the second shift at twelve o'clock in the evening."

Everyone nodded, silently finished their own food, and found a clean place in the room, lay down and fell asleep.

Lin Tianyu saw Nicholas watching the window looking outside, leisurely smoking his pipe, and not very nervous, so he took out the diary and looked at it through the light of the alcohol lamp.

The text in front of the diary is very neat, and it seems that the owner of this diary is quite particular.

June 13, 1977:

I am Pierre and Rhodes. Today is my first day of writing a diary. I didn’t like diaries before, but maybe this is the only way to leave my experiences for others to see. If I die, these experiences may be of some help to those who find this diary. If I survived this disaster safely, it would be considered a very meaningful souvenir, so let me start writing.

The disaster hit the town a week ago. At first it seemed like an unexpected attack. It was not until I read the news that I realized that it was a biological and chemical weapon launched by the neighboring country. ZF asked us to stay at home and not go out. Do you know what better ideas they could come up with, what food does the army do? None of them could stop this from happening.

But it is obvious that we have nothing to do except stay at home. It seems that it is not safe everywhere. In the morning, I received a news that Orpheus City was completely destroyed and the entire Makale State was full of mutants. Fortunately, it is still far from us. I hope this tragedy will not be repeated in New Rist State.

ps: Maybe I should go to the gun store to buy some weapons as preparation in advance.

June 14, 1977:

Today I went to the gun shop to buy a gun, and the price suddenly increased five times, but I still rushed to buy it. Although it hurts, I still bought a shotgun and more than 100 bullets. The gun is a honeycomb shotgun produced by Montenegro. It is powerful and has good performance. The sound of the bullet loading is quite straightforward. It's strange why I didn't think about getting one before.

I don't know if this disaster is God's punishment or something else, but I'm very sure of one thing. With this gun, I will definitely survive, and at least I have to spend this Christmas and die before I die.

June 15, 1977:

Today, more than a dozen mutants appeared near the town. The mayor suggested that we take the initiative to eliminate the danger in the bud. We gathered eight people and set off in jeeps. In the wild, we unexpectedly encountered the enemy. In an instant, we shot randomly. I didn't know where I shot three times in a row. Thank God, my shooting skills were not the worst in the team. That guy Rick only knew how to shoot in the sky and was scolded by the mayor.

At the last moment, I accidentally knocked down a mutant. These mutants are so ugly that they look like legendary devils. They have no horns on their heads. They are muscular and move quickly. However, they can hardly constitute any danger in the plains. If the enemy is only at this level, I think there is no problem with us. When Mary returns to the town, she still cares about me.

June 19, 1977:

After only three days of calm, the mutant appeared again. This time, the attack at night caused heavy casualties in our town. Several families were buried in by the mutant in the middle of the night. When they found out the next day, they were eaten only by bones.

One of the gunmen who went to hunt mutants with me last time was also killed. This accident made the people in the town worried. After clearing the mutants in the town, I sealed the windows and doors for an afternoon to strengthen them. Mary decided to move to my house. At night, I let her sleep with me, but she didn't object. My door did it three times a night, and it felt very good. It seemed that this disaster was not all bad.

June 21, 1977:

The business in the town was completely collapsed, and everyone took out the money and spent it randomly. As a result, all the things in the store were sold out. Fortunately, we were in the countryside and there was food on the farm. I guess those city guys were going to suffer. I put a lot of food and drinking water in the basement, and prepared a bucket of gasoline and a motorcycle in the garage. If I really couldn't hold on, I would leave here. Of course I would take Mary with me. She can't leave now. After the disaster is over, I will marry her.

June 25, 1977:

It's a hell. It seems that my previous thoughts were a bit too optimistic. Joey, who went out to pick apples this morning, saw thousands of mutants heading towards Roken. Because the communication was completely interrupted, I couldn't even inform them, and could only pray for them at home, hoping that those poor guys could survive this crisis.

June 27, 1977:

From several speeding parties who escaped here, they learned that Roken City was over and that it had become a world of mutants. Where is the next target? No one knows, I hope it is not ours. At noon, the sheriff proposed to leave the town and go somewhere else, but where can we go after leaving here? It seems that there are mutants there. After discussing with Mary, we decided to stay.

June 28, 1977:

‘Damn it, a thousand mutants appeared in the wilderness north of the town this morning. It must have been attracted by those speeding parties. It’s really a hell. I’m going to take Mary away and leave immediately. I hope our journey will go smoothly.’

The diary was suddenly interrupted when it was written here. Lin Tianyu turned the page and found a very sloppy handwriting behind it, which seemed to be written in a hurry.

‘It was too late that the mutant rushed into the town, with gunfire and screams everywhere. I held the table against the main entrance, hoping to hold on as long as possible. I let Mary hide in the basement. I hope the mutant won’t find her. I still have more than fifty bullets in my hand. If I will die in the end today, then let me kill a few more mutants’.’

Behind it was a blank space. Lin Tianyu recalled the scene he saw in the room, guessing that the guy named Pierre failed in the end.

But did that Mary escape? These seem to be no longer important, after all, this was already thirty years ago.

He kept the old diary by his side, feeling sad in his heart. Although he was not from the same world, he still felt that he was unable to bear it after witnessing such a desolate scene.
