End of the World

By the stream, He Yuxin was washing herself with clean water. She usually didn't care much about her appearance, but this time she really couldn't stand it. After all, she was a girl and she still liked to be clean.

Several zombies tried to peek at her bathing, but she killed them with a bow and arrow. After washing her body, hmm, there was still a smell. He Yuxin gave up. What if there is a smell? Smelly zombies would definitely not be interested.

After packing up, He Yuxin returned to the road. It was already dark. There was still a problem. He Yuxin was a little lost, and even if she wanted to go back for help, it would be difficult.

"What a bad luck!" He Yuxin looked at the map on the phone in her hand and felt a headache. Without a positioning function and without any reference points, she had no idea where she was.

While it was still early, He Yuxin found a safe place to spend the night. She returned to the town and ran to a roadside farmhouse restaurant. Looking at the name of the restaurant, He Yuxin finally knew where she was.

There were several dark shadows in the hotel. He Yuxin smashed the glass at the door outside, lured them all out, and then killed them with a bow and arrow.

When the last zombie fell, He Yuxin sighed softly. If it were normal, she could still go to the restaurant to eat...!

The restaurant on the roadside specifically serves passing drivers. He Yuxin found many car keys from the zombies, but there was no change when she pressed the keys. It is possible that the keys were broken.

"Beep!"

Finally, there was movement. The silver car under the awning next to them flashed its lights a few times. He Yuxin took the key and got in the car to try and see if it could start.

Well, I pressed the brake button to start the car, and it moved. This is a new energy pure electric car without an engine. The dashboard shows that it still has half power and can run more than 200 kilometers. But who knows what will happen after the car has been parked for so long? No one dares to guarantee the performance of electric things over time.

He Yuxin didn't mind, as long as she could be taken back. The tram was very quiet and would not attract the attention of the zombies. It would be even better if it was a hybrid.

It was getting dark and it was impossible to go back tonight, so she stayed overnight in the hotel. The zombies on the first floor of the hotel had been cleared out and He Yuxin wanted to check the upstairs.

Upstairs is the hotel owner's living area, and only two of the zombies hiding there were found.

He Yuxin was the first person to visit the restaurant since the apocalypse. She found several bags of rice and a bag of spring potatoes in the kitchen. No, it was winter now.

Looking at the potatoes sprouting, He Yuxin smiled helplessly. She didn't catch up with the right time. If she cut them and planted them in the soil, she would be able to harvest them after a while. She would probably have to eat plain rice tonight.

The front door on the first floor was made entirely of glass, like a transparent box. He Yuxin didn't dare stay there for long. She took enough food and went upstairs, blocking the stairwell.

Dinner for one person is simple and boring, just a simple soy sauce rice. He Yuxin doesn't dare to eat other oils that have been left for a long time, otherwise she will get sick.

The three people on the other side couldn't wait for He Yuxin at this time, and realized that something had happened. They originally planned for He Yuxin to come back to pick them up.

"Yuxin should be in trouble. Do you have any solutions?" Chen Guangjun felt uneasy. He was the one who made the plan and felt a little annoyed. He was primarily responsible for what happened to He Yuxin.

"He Yuxin has an armored vehicle, she will be fine!" Qiao Xinghua said this without knowing how to explain it when he returned!

Even Dafeng, who was always carefree, had a look of worry on his face, and prayed for He Yuxin in his heart, if it could help!

"It's dark now and we're trapped. It's my fault for being so reckless!" Chen Guangjun sighed. It would be great if he could contact Wu Bin.

"Didn't we not try to stop you?" Qiao Xinghua looked out the window. The sky was getting darker and darker, and he was powerless to help.

"What time is it now?" Dafeng suddenly interrupted.

Chen Guangjun reacted, glanced at Dafeng, walked to the windowsill, and the two followed him.

"Boom!"

Lightning streaked across the sky, then disappeared into the horizon. The weather in the south was so strange that there were still thunders after the beginning of winter. Perhaps it was because of the disappearance of human activities that the weather was slowly changing.

Of course, climate change will take a long time and will not happen overnight. Nature will give all life the opportunity to adapt, which is absolutely fair.

"I'm afraid it will rain heavily tonight!" Chen Guangjun looked around the sky and realized that a storm was brewing in the darkness.

"I hope the sewers are unobstructed. I don't want to wade through water on the street!" Qiao Xinghua spread his hands, feeling sick at the thought of the corpses soaked in the water.

"That's true. It would be no fun if there were water ghosts hiding in the water!" Dafeng also said. He didn't mind rainy days, but not now.

The wind and rain came quietly from the darkness, and the sound of rain is sometimes a beautiful melody. It is so relaxing to fall asleep listening to the sound of rain. But now I have no time to appreciate it. The sound of dripping rain makes me irritated.

The sewer is relatively unobstructed, but the drainage capacity is limited, so all the rainwater is temporarily accumulated on the ground. If it continues like this, it will flood sooner or later.

"There's water coming in downstairs!" Chen Guangjun shone his flashlight at the ground. This time he really came back empty-handed. Mainly, he didn't know what happened to He Yuxin.

"There seem to be some canned food in the basement?" Dafeng said, it would be nice to take some!

"Then you go and fish them out!" Qiao Xinghua retorted. There were not only corpses but also zombies in the water, and it was unknown how long the zombies could survive in the water.

"Forget it!" Dafeng immediately waved his hand. He didn't want to go to the basement.

The rain gradually subsided but did not stop completely. Although the streets outside were not flooded deeply, it was like a vast ocean. The zombies were struggling in the rain, just like people playing in the water.

The sky became even darker. There was not a single starlight on the rainy day. The occasional lightning that flashed across the sky illuminated the surroundings but was fleeting. The darkness and rain made people even more frightened. The three people no longer paid attention to the outside world because it was time to go to bed.

The fire escape staircase on the second floor was connected to the upper floors and was separated by a solid fire door. It was dark, so the three people did not go up to avoid any complications.

In the middle of the night, the rain suddenly got heavier, and it was pouring down without a care in the world. The three people were awakened by the sound of the rain. When they got up, they felt a little cold. Yes, the temperature should drop after the rain.

There is basically no snow in the south in winter. There has been frost in the past, but it was also extremely cold. Some people describe the winter in the south as coming with magical damage that cannot be prevented by physical means.

The rain was strange, who would have thought there would be heavy rain in winter.

Chen Guangjun came to the windowsill again, and when the flashlight shone outside, he suddenly became alert. He saw that the water level had risen by about half a meter again. Zombies gathered in all the high places, not only ordinary zombies, but also dark red night zombies.

There are still some night zombies crawling on the outer wall of the building over there. Although their number is not large, they are enough to threaten the three people. They can climb walls and are simply mutated giant geckos.

"Stay away from the window!" Chen Guangjun stepped back carefully and signaled to the two people. He didn't know if there were any night zombies outside the building. They might have been forced out by the rain.

Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng didn't even dare to breathe. Damn it, they were surrounded by zombies while sleeping. Is there anyone more unlucky than this?

Of course there was, a night walker crawled past the window. Their sense of smell was not as sensitive as that of zombie dogs, but it still smelled human scent in the room.

The Night Walker roared and slammed the window violently. As expected of a mutant zombie, it was quite powerful. The window security net was shaken and it looked like it could not withstand several attacks.

"Don't shoot, run away!" Seeing the two men about to draw their guns, Chen Guangjun hurriedly stopped them. Once they fired a shot, they would be completely exposed. Who knows how many night zombies there are outside.

Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng hesitated for two seconds, quickly put away their guns, and ran towards the fire escape. They couldn't stay here anymore.

The stairwell behind the fire door was very quiet and there seemed to be no zombies. The three of them worked together to close the fire door and jammed the door handle with an iron rod so that the zombies would not be able to break it open.

Unable to go downstairs, the three had to go upstairs. They didn't know what the situation was above the third floor, but when they reached the fifth floor, the stairs to the sixth floor were blocked by debris, which meant that there might be survivors on the sixth floor.

"Is there someone up there?" Dafeng tried, but it was difficult to move them away as some of them were stuck very tightly.

"That's impossible. We made such a loud noise, it's impossible for them not to do something if they find out!" said Qiao Xinghua, referring to the infantry fighting vehicle driven by He Yuxin.

"Go to the fifth floor first!" Chen Guangjun didn't bother with any survivors. The zombies that night were really troublesome.

There are four households on the fifth floor, with average-sized apartments and an elevator.

The three of them worked together to deal with the zombies on the fifth floor and temporarily blocked the fire door to prevent the zombies downstairs from coming up.

"We can finally take a break!" Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng dealt with the zombie corpses and sat down on the sofa.

"We are in big trouble!" After temporarily avoiding the night zombies, Chen Guangjun looked out the window. In the area illuminated by the flashlight, there were no less than ten night zombies.

"Can't we just wait until daybreak?"

"If we are unlucky, we won't make it till dawn!"

Dafeng's expression froze. That's right, the night zombies were crawling around outside. Normally they rarely crawled on buildings. It happened to rain tonight, driving them all off the ground.

Qiao Xinghua went over and pulled the curtains to cover the window.

"It's useless, they have no vision!" Chen Guangjun shook his head, thinking he was just deceiving himself.

"We can only rely on luck!" Dafeng spread his hands.

"Go get some shower gel, it can cover up most of the human smell!" Chen Guangjun shook his head again.

The three of them waited until dawn. A hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky and the rain that had fallen all night had subsided. It seemed that the danger was about to pass.

However, it was as if someone was deliberately playing a trick on them. When the three of them let down their guard, there was a loud noise from upstairs, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. That was the end of them!

The night zombies that had worked the night shift were about to leave, but the sound called them back.

"Damn idiot!" Dafeng couldn't help but curse the person upstairs. Isn't this going to kill people?

"Get ready for battle!" Chen Guangjun was helpless, he couldn't escape.

When Chen Guangjun came here last night, he discovered the landlord's collection of wine. The alcohol content was high enough and it tasted good after a few sips, but now it can only be used as a Molotov cocktail.

"Boom!"

There was a banging sound from the fire door, and Chen Guangjun thought to himself that it was a good thing he didn't rush down.

Although the sound came from upstairs, there were still night zombies that broke into the fifth floor. The three of them hid themselves and held their weapons tightly. If it was just one night zombie, they could probably be dealt with with cold weapons. They were really too dangerous.
