I just want to be free

Chapter 5: The End of the World Comes
The penniless Mu Yuan was lying on the bed, waiting for the end of the world. The system did not tell her the specific time and process of the end of the world. Before that, the mobile phone was fully charged, but I don’t know if it can be used after the end of the world. But even if it is useful, I don't have anyone to contact.

Looking at the phone, the time jumps to 0:00, and Mu Yuan suddenly relaxes from being a little nervous all night. No matter what, she has to face it. She gets out of bed and walks to the window. There are occasionally a few people who have returned from the night outside. The sound of talking, or the sound of someone’s pet, nothing seemed to have changed at all. After standing quietly for an hour, just as Mu Yuan was about to rest, the ground trembled, and countless horrified and cries for help resounded through the place. At night, Mu Yuan knew that the end of the world had come.

The earthquake soon stopped. The strength of N City was not strong. At least Muyuan didn't see any buildings collapsed. Many people rushed to the community with some precious items because they were afraid that the earthquake would happen again. Standing by the window and watching more and more people in the square, Mu Yuan could guess what it would be like after the outbreak, but she couldn't escape, if she didn't dare to see it, how could she face it in person.

Some of the people who went out were carrying blankets, some were carrying backpacks, and some were injured by falling objects at home, and were sent to the hospital by family members, friends and neighbors. Tired, maybe it’s because I’ve been a ghost for a long time, and I always feel unfamiliar with human emotions. Knowing the fate of these people, at this time, I let myself understand clearly that although I have obtained a human body, I no longer have a human heart. .

The sky is gradually turning white, it is early summer, and the dawn is early, perhaps because of longing for the light, seeing the bright sky, the crowd in the square is no longer as scared as before, and some people have even started talking and laughing , Mu Yuan lived on the second floor, not far from the square, and someone could even hear people saying that it was dawn and everything was fine.

Dawn brings people hope, but today's dawn has started a second earthquake. This time the tremor is obviously stronger than the last one. Mu Yuan can hear the furniture upstairs falling to the ground. Fortunately, there is only one bed in her place. The others are all materials placed close to the ground. Although some of them have moved their positions, they have not fallen down. Since Muyuan opened the window just now, I am afraid that if there is a problem, at least I can choose to jump out of the window, but Turns out it wasn't that serious.

The ground stopped shaking, but this time the people in the square were silent. No one knew whether there would be a third time, whether it would be safe or not. Some people even took out their mobile phones and wanted to call their families. Unfortunately, at this time , The mobile phone has no signal at all.

The consequences of this earthquake were serious. The power went out, the mobile phone signal disappeared, and even the radio could not receive anything. Mu Yuan threw the radio on the bed. It was bought specially before, thinking that it might be useful. But obviously I thought too much.

Continue to stand by the window. At this time, the sky is already bright, but the originally clear sky has turned grayish white with light, but it is blocked by thick fog. This fog should be the reason for the change of zombies.

Giving up on continuing to observe the crowd in the square, she took out the meat, cakes and chili peppers she bought last night, two cakes and half of the meat, drank a bottle of water, and Mu Yuan touched her belly, which was too thin to eat. , I have been full every time this week, but now my stomach capacity is still very small. Fortunately, there is no influence power, otherwise I would really cry when I beat zombies.

After eating and drinking enough, and not sleeping all night, Mu Yuan felt that her eyelids were going to fight.It's just that I can't sleep until the zombies appear.

It was dawn now, and many people in the square began to go home for breakfast. Some of them had already brought food out and ate directly in the square. They didn't plan to go home until they were sure it was safe.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in the square. Maybe it was because she felt that the earthquake would never happen again, or maybe she was tired all night and went home to rest. Mu Yuan heard that many people did not come out after returning home.

Take out the phone to check, it’s almost noon, Mu Yuan ate the leftover biscuits, and went to wash up after eating, there is a shower in the bathroom, as early as yesterday, the water was already stored, and there were two buckets too They were all filled with water, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and when they were wiping their faces with a towel, a scream broke the calm from morning to now.

Throwing away the towel, ran to the window. At this time, the crowd in the square was already in chaos, and some screams were mixed with the crying and cursing. Mu Yuan looked at the zombies in the crowd who were chasing or gnawing, and that was the zombies. , Gray skin, because it has just mutated, except for some blood stains after some injuries, most of them are still dressed like ordinary people, except for the exposed skin.

Mu Yuan didn't count how many people there were in the square, but there were very few people who fled back into the building now, and most of them became zombies or were used as food by zombies. They didn't care about those who fled, and concentrated on observing those zombies. The speed is actually very slow, only about half of a normal person. The reason why such a large number of casualties can be caused is nothing more than the fear of human beings and the sudden outbreak, which makes people defenseless.

I remembered that the zombie crystal nucleus I needed was in the head of this kind of thing, but now if I go out to fight zombies, I might be attacked by the surrounding humans. Mu Yuan can't take risks, it seems that I can only wait at night or in the building Kill one without being noticed.

Seeing that the zombies outside had started wandering around looking for targets again, Mu Yuan felt that she needed to rest, closed the doors and windows, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After falling asleep this time, Mu Yuan dreamed again after so many years. In the dream, there were classmates and teachers in elementary school, the boss and colleagues when they were part-time workers, and the old aunt who was the neighbor. People appeared one by one. Disappeared, as if looking back on that life, but there is no family in this dream, no one who likes to hate or resents, never appeared, neither love nor hate, neither sad nor resentful, it is also very good, as for those who destroy the mood, Anyway, it is impossible for me to go back to that world, so those people will never interfere with my emotions and life again.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and no one in the surrounding residents dared to turn on the lights. Through the windows, I could vaguely see zombies wandering around. I heard the sound quietly. People upstairs were walking around, and there were men and women quietly On the left and right, stick to the wall and listen, the residents on both sides are at home, but they should have turned into zombies, you can hear the sound of knocking on the door, and it sounds that the door over there is about to close I can't take it anymore.

Although I will shoot the zombie's head later, Mu Yuan still ate something. As for whether he will vomit later, after staying in the morgue for so many years, he has never seen what kind of corpse, even if he can't for a while. Adapt, but it is by no means completely unacceptable. Besides, I have seen such a bloody scene in the afternoon, so it feels okay.
