Chapter 1: Difficulties (")

Xie Tian curled up and hid carefully behind the trash can on the corner of the street, staring at a small supermarket across the street without blinking. He hadn't eaten a bite for more than a day and a night. If he hadn't had the only slightest bite of reason left, he would have thrown the zombies wandering on the street and rushed in at all costs.

At this time, there were four zombies wandering in front of the small supermarket. Xie Tian held the slightly curled machete in his hand and tried his best to restrain his impulse. He could only deal with two zombies at the same time at most. If this number exceeded, he could not guarantee that he would not be injured by zombies. If that was the case, it was basically no different from death. After all, he was just lucky enough to avoid the zombie virus in the air. If the zombie virus entered the blood, the immortal could not save him.

Reason finally defeated the strong instinctive desire. Xie Tian held on to himself, waited carefully for the best time, and was careful. This is also the fundamental reason why Xie Tian was able to survive in Yangcheng alone for nearly a month.

Xie Tian, ​​a month ago, was just an ordinary senior student hanging around on the university campus. As he was about to graduate, a zombie virus broke out in the world. He witnessed the mutation process of most people around him. Their bodies were still there, and even their faces were still the same, but they had become a zombie who had no thoughts and only knew how to kill and eat.

No one knows where the zombie virus comes from. This kind of thing is transmitted through the air, with an infection rate of more than 85%, and a mortality rate after infection is 100%. Only 15% of people can escape the zombie virus in the air.

The first person infected by air transmission has long become zombies. Although the rest will not be infected by air, as long as they are bitten by the zombie, or the blood inadvertently contacts the zombie virus, there is a great possibility of being infected. The infected person will die of a high fever within three days. Then, the zombie virus will replicate in the blood. Within 12 hours after the infected person dies, the zombie virus will reorganize the brainstem and nervous system of the deceased, and the deceased will regain the sense of the facial senses and movement ability. However, because the brain has died, the brainstem recombined by the virus can control the body of the deceased by the virus. At this time, the infected person has evolved into a zombie.

Zombies have no mind, and their only instinct is to keep eating, hunting, and then eating. In this cycle, they are pure carnivores and require the flesh and blood of creatures to maintain their walking dead body. Not only that, the virus will continue to strengthen the zombie's body, making the zombie's endurance and ability to resist strikes far exceed that of normal people. Unless they cut off or explode their heads, the zombie will not die at all.

Scientists have confirmed that zombies can even undergo monomer evolution while ensuring their consumption. Evolved zombies are stronger than ordinary zombies. Scientists use English evolution, which is "evolution", to name the evolved zombies. The first generation of evolution zombies is called e1 and the second generation of evolution zombies is called e2. When Xie Tian received the broadcast signal for the last time, the highest level of evolution that the zombies is known is e2.

At this moment, the zombies wandering in front of the supermarket are slow to move, but they must not be blinded by their appearance. This is just a way for them to preserve their physical strength. If they encounter prey, they will burst out with super physical energy in an instant. Whether it is speed or strength, they are much stronger than ordinary humans, and they are very excellent predators.

The glass door of the supermarket had been smashed long ago, and the sunlight outside was a little dazzling, which made it difficult for Xie Tian to see the inside of the supermarket clearly. He could not determine whether the supermarket had been robbed long ago, and he was even more uncertain whether there was food inside that he urgently needed.

Fortunately, the zombies did not consciously occupy the supermarket. After waiting patiently for twenty minutes, the zombies in front of the door had basically wandered to other places. When the nearest zombie also walked hundreds of meters away, Xie Tian felt that the time had come.

He tried to lower his body and keep the footsteps to the lowest state. What blocked him and the small supermarket was a road that only allowed two cars to pass through. Xie Tian walked carefully while observing the situation on both sides. Fortunately! The zombies who walked away did not find themselves.

When I entered the glass door of the supermarket that had already broken, I saw no zombies in the narrow space. I looked up at the inside of the supermarket. After just a look, Xie Tian couldn't help but feel disappointed. The inside of the supermarket was very messy, and the two rows of shelves on the outermost side had collapsed. Although the shelves inside were not empty, most of the remaining daily necessities were useless, such as shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and toothbrush, but there was no trace of food or water at all.

My own adventure was not exchanged for any reward, and Xie Tian was inevitably upset. He had never eaten anything a day and night, and his stomach was empty. Not only was he soft and weak, but he also had dizziness and tinnitus from time to time. Now it is becoming more and more difficult to survive. There are more and more zombies and less food. Every time he looks for food, he has to risk his life, not only to protect zombies, but also to protect humans.

Just yesterday, Xie Tian went through a lot of hard work to find a few packs of unopened instant noodles. He thought he could survive for a few days with those packs of instant noodles, but he was snatched by several survivors. Those bastards were really hateful. Not only did they snatch things, they didn't even want to let go. If they weren't smart, they would have been chopped to the ground by those people.

"I searched for a whole morning and had nothing to eat. How long can I last if I continue like this?" Xie Tian sighed slightly, tied his belt to the tightest, and turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to go out, Xie Tian suddenly felt something grabbing his ankle. Then, he fell to the ground uncontrollably. A piece of broken glass on the ground cut a hole in the palm of Xie Tian's left hand, and blood was flowing.

Xie Tian didn't care about checking the injuries on his hand, and hurriedly turned around to see what happened. He was shocked and sweated in a cold manner when he saw it. It turned out that a zombie had no lower body crawled out from the bottom of the narrow counter in the supermarket. His body was cut off from his waist, and his intestines and internal organs were exposed.

Although the zombie was only half of its upper body, it was very powerful. She grabbed her ankle tightly and tried her best to climb over and take a bite on Xie Tian's body. The eyes were filled with blood red, and the expression was hideous and terrifying.

"Damn it!" Xie Tian cursed secretly, blaming himself for not taking into account the narrow cashier inside. Unexpectedly, there was a half-piece zombie hidden in such a small place. He quickly turned over and kicked his head away, then immediately got up, rushed up, waved the machete that was tightly held in his right hand, and simply cut off the zombie's head. The zombie lost its head and soon disappeared.

"It's really unlucky." Xie Tian sucked the blood from the palm of his left hand, while spreading the zombie's hand holding his ankle apart, preparing to leave here as soon as possible.

Blood was extremely tempting to zombies. Although Xie Tian swallowed the blood back into his stomach as quickly as possible, he was still worried that it would attract the zombies around him. So after seeing that there were no traces of zombies around him, he quickly left the supermarket.

Xie Tian’s place where he settled is not far from this supermarket. He only needs to bypass a small alley to enter one of the "doors" of his residence. These days, for safety reasons, he has been living in the underground sewer pipe. It just so happens that there is a short-lived underground pipe here, which is about 1,000 meters long and covers this half block. The pipes are very smooth and can be passed by. There are also eight patios that can lead to the ground in different locations, which are much safer than ordinary houses.

Confirm that there were no signs of zombies nearby, Xie Tiancai quietly left the supermarket, turned around not far away and entered an alley, then lifted the manhole cover on the ground and drilled in.

Although zombies have strong combat power, they have no IQ. Even if they notice that there are humans in the underground pipes, they don’t know how to open the manhole cover and how to reach out to remove the iron chains hanging in the manhole cover. This is the experience Xie Tian has summarized these days. So far, as long as they are in this underground pipe, no danger has occurred.

After doing all this, Xie Tian was already weak all over. He did not replenish food for a day and a night. The only remaining physical strength was almost exhausted when he went out, but he did not get any reward. Now he was lying on the pipe wall and could hardly move. Xie Tian was almost desperate at this moment. He knew that his physical condition was difficult to support another adventure. Without food, his life would not last long.
