Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the zombie outbreak, Ma Dazhuang, who was in the attic of the shop, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. He could still see a dozen zombies wandering in the farmers' market.

The number of zombies has doubled compared to the previous two days, and this is just a corner of what he saw. After all, his store is located at the very end of the farmer's market, and there are few people on weekdays. Even so, there are still so many zombies outside. It is hard to imagine how many of these monsters will gather in the center of the farmer's market.

It is called a monster, but it is transformed from a living human being. If it is not a monster, how could it chase people and start tearing and biting them?

On the first day of the zombie outbreak, Ma Dazhuang saw with his own eyes a person being infected and mutated by the zombies and being thrown to the ground and dismembered. However, in just a few minutes, the person had been eaten until only fragments of his limbs were left. The bloody scene was unbearable to watch, and his wife Liuyang even vomited and fainted.

The two stayed on the second floor for several days and did not dare to go downstairs. At first, they could hear the sound of zombies banging on the rolling door downstairs. The whole rolling door made a "bang bang bang" vibration. They knew that it was the kind of monster that eats people. The sound was terrifying.

But the couple did not go hungry during these days, because they lived in the store, so there was a lot of food stored in the store. However, they did not dare to cook at all, so when they were hungry they could only eat some compressed biscuits or cold buns. Although they tasted bland, at least they could fill their stomachs.

In fact, Ma Dazhuang was relatively lucky. He was alert enough at the time and decided to temporarily close the store. He then pulled down the rolling door and even blocked the innermost glass door with several overlapping tables. He then took his wife Liuyang back to the lounge on the second floor.

However, the entrance to the lounge is a wooden door. Once the zombies break through the roller shutter door and glass door on the first floor and enter the store, the small wooden door on the second floor will be unable to resist those ferocious zombies.

The second floor was originally used as a lounge. It was also converted from a small attic. The top is an angled design. The highest from the floor to the ceiling is two meters, and the lowest is only about one and a half meters. The area is about 60 square meters and it is planned as a small two-bedroom design. On weekdays, Ma Yuanyuan lives in the one and a half meter small house when she returns home. If you just sit or sleep, the space is enough, but you have to be a little careful when standing up, otherwise you will accidentally hit the ceiling above your head.

However, for convenience at the time, Ma Dazhuang only had two thinner wooden doors installed. Not to mention zombies, even if he himself only needed one kick, the door could be kicked open. The door was only used to facilitate personal privacy activities.

At this time, the couple squatted in a corner of the bedroom, and they couldn't even sleep well, for fear that zombies would rush in and eat them up in their sleep. Therefore, the couple discussed and decided to take turns, with each person guarding for eight hours. From 8 am to 12 pm every day, it was Liuyang who was on duty, and from 12 pm to 4 pm, it was Ma Dazhuang's turn. At this time, Liuyang could take a nap. After lunch in the afternoon, Ma Dazhuang would sleep from 6 pm to 10 pm, and after 12 pm it was Ma Dazhuang's turn to keep watch alone. He was a man with better physical strength, so it was no problem for him to take turns on duty for twelve hours a day. However, sometimes Liuyang felt sorry for her husband and would delay one or two hours before waking Ma Dazhuang up.

In the past few days, Ma Dazhuang discovered through observation outside the window that zombies were very sensitive to sounds and smells. On the first day, because Liuyang's menstrual period had not yet ended, she packed up the changed sanitary napkins and put them in the toilet when she went to the toilet. Then, scratching and roaring sounds were heard from the wall near the toilet.

At that time, the couple didn't understand why the zombies didn't attack other houses but only targeted their own place. The zombies had been roaring outside for an entire afternoon. When Ma Dazhuang went to the toilet and saw the black plastic bag, and then thought of some movies he had watched before, Ma Dazhuang half-believed and half-doubtedly threw the black plastic bag containing sanitary napkins far away to an open space more than ten meters away.

In less than a minute, a few wandering zombies heard the noise and rushed to the bag with roars.

It seems that zombies are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and can find the source of the smell even from dozens of meters away. That is to say, if women walk in a street full of zombies during their menstrual period, the probability of being attacked may be higher than that of men.

Liuyang on the side could not help but huddle in the quilt with his arms hugged, his face pale.

Seeing this, Ma Dazhuang couldn't help but said distressedly: "It's okay, maybe we can cover it up with other smells."

Liuyang then raised his head and asked in a daze: "What method?"

Ma Dazhuang scratched his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a bottle of toilet water on the bedside table. He then tried to sprinkle some of the toilet water on his wife.

Liuyang came to his senses immediately, and quickly took the toilet water, and sprayed it on his pants without caring about anything else. After about five or six minutes, the scratching sound on the wall on the first floor gradually disappeared.

The couple looked at each other at this time and thought, is this possible?

It seems that zombies are indeed sensitive to smells, but perhaps it is only the smell of blood. They don’t like pungent fragrance or stench.

The crisis was resolved and Liuyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then he thought of his daughter who was still in the company, and his heart started to lift again.

"I don't know how Yuanyuan is doing in the company now. Is she hungry?"

"Don't worry. Yuanyuan said last time she came back that after the company's door was maliciously smashed, her boss replaced it with thick explosion-proof glass. And I remember that their company also has a separate office. The decoration of the boss's office should be pretty good. It won't be too dangerous to be there."

While comforting his wife, Ma Dazhuang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Ma Yuanyuan.

I didn’t know why the signal was intermittent, and all the messages I sent turned into exclamation marks.

Ma Dazhuang and the others naturally didn't know that this was because the information transmission towers around the Jiangcheng base were being attacked by a group of zombies. Several signal towers were destroyed. Currently, a guard team sent by the Jiangcheng base was eliminating these hundreds of zombies.

This guard team is composed of seven or eight B-level psychics or above. Its strength is considered elite among the guards, especially the captain who is an A-level psychic.

It took the guard team about half an hour to eliminate nearly a hundred zombies, but when they saw the dense groups of zombies running from a distance, every member was shocked. They didn't expect that a small-scale zombie tide would appear just a few days after the zombie virus broke out. If the zombie virus continued to spread, then thousands of zombies would gather together, and then the large-scale zombie tide would not be suppressed by these few people.

Zhong Shan is the captain of this guard team. Their team of psychics belongs to the third battalion of the guard army and is considered an elite unit. Although it cannot be compared with well-known teams such as "Hunters" and "Light Chasers", the team members are all excellent and have rich combat experience. However, when they saw the dense tide of zombies, they were still frightened. At present, the zombie virus in Jiangcheng base is not too serious, and the situation in the suburbs is better than they imagined. But before setting off, they heard that evolved zombies have appeared in Hongcheng next door. Some of these zombies can even use superpowers, and some of them have extremely strange abilities. Hongcheng has sacrificed many A-level psychics to avoid being completely conquered.

It has only been half a year since the construction of Hongcheng's fourth base was completed and Jiangcheng base was built. Currently, the base has accepted nearly fifteen survivors. However, it is said that more than ten percent of the people in Hongcheng base have been infected with the zombie virus. If it were not for the psychics of the base who insisted on fighting on the front line, I am afraid that Hongcheng base would have fallen.

Hongcheng Base

Deputy base commander Zhou Zinuo was pacing back and forth in his office. Just five minutes ago, he received a report from the Self-Defense Forces on the front line that zombies were currently trying to break through the high-voltage cables outside the base.

Normally, zombies have no ability to resist high voltage electricity, because the high voltage power grid will instantly shock their brains, causing the brains that were originally controlled by the virus to completely shut down. However, it would be difficult to deal with evolved zombies.

Zhou Zinuo discovered yesterday, which was the third day after the zombie virus outbreak, that zombies had actually evolved in a short period of time. Some zombies even had super high jumping abilities and could leap over high-voltage cables nearly five meters high at a time. They were also more sensitive to smells and sounds and could detect human scents from hundreds of meters away.

The Hongcheng base can only be regarded as a small base among the dozens of bases of all sizes in Country H. Although its construction speed is second only to the Jiangcheng base, it is actually because the area it occupied was not large when it was first built. Moreover, it was built along the university town near Hongcheng at that time, covering an area of ​​only a few thousand square hectares. It can accommodate about 300,000 people at most. However, because the infrastructure near the university town was well-developed at that time, the construction of the base basically did not consume too much city-building materials.

But precisely because of this, the commander of the Hongcheng base relaxed his vigilance, thinking that the most fundamental thing at the moment was to expand the army, that is, the number of Self-Defense Forces, while the defense of the outer city has been shelved until now.

Zhou Zinuo was transferred from the capital to Hongcheng as the base chief just last month. When he was in Kyoto, he was a senior member of the Kyoto Guard and he himself is also an extremely rare S-level psychic.

Originally, he thought that Hongcheng was a blessed land. Although the base was not large, it had been peaceful over the years, and its economic conditions were considered medium among small bases. After he took office, he would develop it appropriately and expand the area to twice its original size. By then, Hongcheng Base would be able to become the central base in the country, and his historical achievements as the deputy base chief of Hongcheng Base would also be able to leave a strong mark.

But who knew that after arriving here, he would find that this was not a blessed place at all, but his burial place! It seemed that if no action was taken, the residents of the entire base would suffer.

Zhou Zinuo took off his glasses and glanced in the opposite direction with some resentment. That was the base hospital. Zhang Chenhai from the base suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after a fall last week and was still lying in the ICU ward. In order to save this man, almost the entire medical team of the base was mobilized to save him, and only then was the man saved. But it was unknown when he would wake up, and he might become a vegetable for the rest of his life. Currently, Kyoto has the idea of ​​letting Zhou Zinuo take his place.

But Zhou Zinuo couldn't be happy at the moment. After all, zombies were surrounding the city and the base was in danger. If he couldn't handle this matter well and the higher-ups held him accountable, wouldn't he be the one who would be in trouble?

At present, the military strength of Hongcheng Base is weak. The entire base has only less than 3,000 self-defense forces, and the guard team is even weaker with only more than 200 people. In addition to themselves, there are only three S-level psychics in the small base of 100,000 people, and even these three are not from the military. If you want them to help defend the base, you need an equal exchange. Otherwise, the worst that can happen is that they will just move to another place. The lives of 100,000 people in the base are as cheap as ants to them.

In addition to reporting the situation to the Kyoto base, Zhou Zinuo has also contacted several medium-sized bases outside the province, such as the Huaihai base, Liaocheng base, and Hongmeng base. However, these bases are thousands of miles away from Hongcheng. In addition, there is a shortage of various large-scale transportation supplies in the apocalypse, so they can only arrive tomorrow night at the earliest. Moreover, these bases do not provide free help. By then, I am afraid that the Hongcheng base will need to provide a considerable amount of supplies, among which the most important thing for Hongcheng is the red soil.

There is a planting base of more than 2,000 acres in the Hongcheng base. The yield of crops grown on its unique red soil is twice as high as that grown on ordinary land, and the taste of the crops is infinitely close to that before the end of the world. However, Hongcheng is currently only self-sufficient. After all, more than 2,000 acres of land are not enough to provide food for the entire population of the base, let alone provide it to bases outside.

However, people outside have different ideas, and even people in Hongcheng will try every means to smuggle and sell them to other bases at high prices. Therefore, any crops and fruit and vegetable products exported from Hongcheng can be said to be the target of snatching by other bases.

Zhou Zinuo took a deep breath and suddenly glanced at the map opposite.

The map was redrawn by the H country's research institute after the end of the world, and it shows the locations of major bases.

At this moment, the secretary pushed the door open, his face full of fear, and his voice trembled: "Base Commander, the zombies have broken through our first layer of defense."

"What?!" Zhou Zinuo's body almost shook slightly. You know, Hongcheng currently has only two layers of defense. In addition to the outermost high-voltage electric wall of more than five meters, there is a seven or eight meter high outer wall inside, but the wall is only three meters thick. In other words, if the zombies can break through the first layer of the high-voltage electric wall, then breaking through the second layer is only a matter of time.

Zhou Zinuo pursed his lips slightly and forced himself to calm down. When he raised his eyes, he had made up his mind.

"Help me contact the Jiangcheng base."
