The Book of Doomsday: Little Cannon Fodder Trying to Survive

This time the apocalypse is coming on a global scale, and signs of it appeared as early as twenty years ago. According to Feng Lei's understanding, the earth began to show apocalyptic phenomena twenty years ago, and humans, animals and plants began to show inexplicable phenomena, which is now called zombieization. However, people at that time were not aware of this problem, and it was widely reported. Finally, this phenomenon became more and more numerous and widespread, and researchers finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

In order to avoid panic, the world has banned all such information, but zombie-like humans and plants continue to appear. In order to find out the cause and solve the problem, relevant personnel have shown their talents and started research on different aspects.

After investing a lot of money and energy, the relevant personnel still did not make any significant progress, so someone at the top level took the opportunity to put forward another proposal.

Since we can't find the reason after investing a lot of money, we might as well use the money for another thing. We can use intervention to keep the current situation from getting worse. We found a powerful person and used his power to create a barrier. We buried energy stones as a medium in different corners to activate the formation. The energy stones as a medium need to absorb the energy of the earth to maintain the formation. Before the powerful person left, he clearly said that this was a way to quench thirst with poison. As for how long this formation can last, he didn't know. We can't put all our hopes on this formation. We still have to find out the reason for the problem.

The cause was not found and the end of the world came. At that time, the energy stone that served as a medium backfired and became a medium for zombies to absorb energy. Therefore, the energy stone was the inducement and also the dangerous area.

After listening to Feng Lei's explanation, Tang Tang felt like a thousand horses were galloping through her heart. She was more than 80% sure that the mighty man was Tang Tang's father. And this father was relatively reliable and knew to leave something that could save his daughter's life, although now she got the advantage.

"Can you help me mark all the media you know on the map?" Tang Tang asked.

"Yes, sure." Feng Lei took the map handed over by Tang Tang and explained to Tang Tang while drawing it.

"The known burial points of energy stones are in the five major survivor bases. This was the last line of defense left for mankind by the great man at that time. The five main energy stones will last for another year after the backlash of other energy stones. It gives mankind the last bit of protection. There is an energy stone at each of the connecting points of the five survivor bases. This is clearly outlined on the distribution map. Now there are still five energy stones in an unknown state, so I suspect that there are energy stones in this place as well." Feng Lei said as he looked at the zombies that had surrounded the car.

"Then do you know what the effective range of the energy stone is?" Tang Tang always felt something was wrong after hearing the whole story.

"The range is no less than one thousand kilometers."

"Are you sure?" Tang Tang asked.

"Yes, I'm sure. When I came from the Central Survivor Base, I took a detour here because of the energy stone."

"If that's the case, I don't think the energy stone is the reason for this place." Tang Tang said as she looked at the zombies outside the car. "The level of the zombies here is too low. From what I've observed, the highest is only level one. There may be other reasons for the excessive number of zombies. Maybe there were no survivors passing by, so this place has not been cleaned up. Or maybe there were a large number of survivors trapped here, but they were infected for some unknown reason. This is also possible."

"You're right. Judging from the low level of the zombies, they don't meet the requirements of the energy stone. Maybe both situations you mentioned exist."

"What should we do? Should we act together, or should we act separately and reunite here later?"

"Let's do it together, so we can look after each other."

"Okay then, I'll go out and clean up the zombies around. You can get out of the car later. Don't forget to lock the car. I'll be counting on it in the future." Tang Tang said worriedly.

Tang Tang opened the panoramic sunroof on the roof, holding the Dragon Roar Knife and jumped out neatly. Standing on the hood, Tang Tang fought hard to kill the zombies around her, and soon made a way out. Feng Lei turned off the engine, locked the car, and rushed to Tang Tang's side.

The main entrance of the mall was blocked. Through the glass, I saw that several iron bars were inserted into the door handle and the counter was propped up. It seemed that the survivors inside had done this.

Tang Tang and Feng Lei searched around the perimeter of the mall and finally saw an open door on the second floor platform behind the mall. Tang Tang climbed to the second floor platform with the help of Feng Lei. The two stood on the platform and looked down. More zombies were coming from all directions.

"It looks like there's something fishy going on here."

"Yeah, the number of zombies is unusual. This isn't a hospital or a place with a high population mobility like the city center. Even if these zombies are people infected nearby, the number doesn't make sense." Tang Tang looked at the zombies below in confusion.

"Okay, let's go inside first and see what's going on." Feng Lei took the lead and walked towards the open door, followed closely by Tang Tang.

This shopping mall has four floors in total. The internal facilities are not very good and the sanitary environment is relatively poor. Tang Tang walked carefully in the corridor.

The dim stairwell was full of obstacles, and even with Tang Tang's headlamp, it was still difficult to walk. Suddenly, something flashed past from the garbage, but due to the poor light, the two of them could not see clearly what it was.

The unfamiliar environment made people unconsciously nervous. Feng Lei took the initiative to grab Tang Tang's hand and protected her behind him.

Pushing open the door of the fire escape, the two entered the mall. The slightly dim hall gave people an inexplicable sense of fear, as if there were many eyes hiding in the dark, closely watching them. There was an uncomfortable smell in the air. Even with a mask on, they could still smell it faintly.

"Do you smell anything strange?" Tang Tang asked.

"Yes, it was on the platform just now, and it seems to be stronger here. The smell is a bit like the smell of some animal. I seem to have smelled it somewhere before." Feng Lei replied. "Follow me closely, why do I always feel a little creepy. It seems like there are many eyes watching us in the dark?"

"I feel the same way. I am quite familiar with this feeling of fear. It should be something that I am afraid of. But I can't remember what it is now."

"Is there anything else that can scare you? I saw you were so brave when killing zombies, and I thought you were a fearless female warrior!" Feng Lei said jokingly, but when he heard Tang Tang say that she was afraid, he still held her in his arms and walked forward carefully.

"Killing zombies is something you have to face when you have no other choice. When I killed the first zombie, I was covered in blood and vomited. In order to survive, I kept killing zombies to adapt myself." Tang Tang followed Feng Lei's steps. "No matter if you are a man or a woman, there must be something that scares you. It may be an animal, a plant, or something you dare not look at. This is normal, isn't it? I don't believe that you don't have something that scares you."

"There was really nothing to be afraid of before, but there are things that I am afraid of." Feng Lei's low voice sounded softly in Tang Tang's ears.

"What is it?" Tang Tang asked curiously.

"What is it? The thing I feared most before was my mother's tears. I don't know why my heart ached when I saw her crying, but now I don't even have the chance to feel that pain anymore."

"I'm sorry for reminding you of unhappy things."

"Little girl, why are you apologizing when it's not your fault? Although my thoughts may not be filial, she left. In fact, we should be happy for her. At least she is relieved." Feng Lei said dejectedly.
