The Book of Doomsday: Little Cannon Fodder Trying to Survive

For three consecutive days, Feng Lei's role was just to be the driver. Tang Tang never used him to get out of the car to clear the zombies and collect supplies. It felt like she was a redundant person.

After Tang Tang slashed the last zombie with a knife, she set fire to clean up the corpses of the zombies underground. In the past three days, she used her physical strength to clean up the zombies, trying to vent the feeling of powerlessness in her heart. The exhaustion afterwards allowed her to stop thinking about it. Falling asleep is also a way to escape the problem. The mistake has been made, and the person is no longer there. It is meaningless to do anything. Tang Tang knows that if she can't untie the knot in her heart, everything will be in vain. Besides, she is already living in another place with another identity. What she does is meaningless. She just can't face the past.

"We have cleared the last location today. Let's set off tomorrow morning. We don't know if we can catch up with Brother Wang Cheng and his friends after a few days of delay." Tang Tang opened the door and sat in the back seat. The black cat saw Tang Tang and climbed into his arms, then changed his position and continued to sleep.

"I think the weather is bad and it might rain. There are hillsides all around here and it doesn't look very safe. Why don't we set off now? At least we have to leave this area. Safety is the most important thing." Feng Lei said while looking at the dark clouds in the sky.

Tang Tang only remembered that the time was almost up after Feng Lei reminded her. The rainy season was coming, the zombies were going to become stronger again, and the survivors were going to be eliminated again.

"Okay, let's go now and leave here quickly. We can take turns driving so that we can go faster." Tang Tang said anxiously. Feng Lei started the car and set off. Tang Tang took the time to rest in the back seat. The rainy season is here, and I have been willful for a long time. Since I can't let it go, I will bury it deep in my heart. I still have to live.

Tang Tang closed her eyes and thought quietly. Her life was much easier now than before. She didn't have to be left behind by others because she was an orphan, and she didn't have to work hard all day to make ends meet. Even during the most difficult time, she didn't miss any part-time jobs because she knew it was easy to die. But it was very difficult to live. She couldn't even do the simplest willfulness. This was a consequence she couldn't bear.

The car had just entered the highway when raindrops as big as beans hit the car windows with a crackling sound. The car was smashed with a bang, making people wonder whether it was rain or hail.

The rain was too dense and visibility was too low, so Feng Lei drove at a low speed for safety. In a place that Tang Tang and Feng Lei could not see, as the sky began to rain heavily, zombies appeared from different places one after another. They stood in the heavy rain and were washed by the heavy rain, as if they were performing a sacred ceremony. The rain continued until the evening. The rain became lighter, but the sky was still red, which meant that the next day was still very cloudy.

Feng Lei drove the car to a gas station and parked the car in the refueling area to temporarily avoid the rain. Tang Tang was a little annoyed by the continuous noise in the car. After parking, she quickly got out of the car to get some fresh air.

"This is already a safe area. Let's rest here tonight." Feng Lei followed Tang Tang out of the car.

Tang Tang took the blanket down from the back seat and walked towards the convenience store at the gas station. The black cat decisively jumped onto Feng Lei who was opening the door to get something. Looking at the black cat in his arms, it really fulfilled Tang Tang's words that it was like it had no legs and didn't want to move a step.

Tang Tang opened the door of the convenience store and a zombie ran out, but it did not attack Tang Tang, but ran outside. Tang Tang followed it after seeing this strange behavior. The rain seemed to have caused some different changes on the zombie, but Tang Tang did not give it a chance to grow up and killed it directly.

After Tang Tang checked the convenience store inside and out to make sure there was nothing wrong, she found some edible food and placed it on the table nearby.

"Captain Feng, please come and have your meal. After dinner, go to bed early and we will continue our journey tomorrow."

Feng Lei locked the car door, carried the black cat into the convenience store, put the black cat on the checkout counter and started eating.

"Go and have a rest after dinner. I'll be on guard tonight." Tang Tang said to Feng Lei who was drinking eight-treasure porridge.

"You go and have a rest, I'll keep watch." Feng Lei said to Tang Tang.

"You've been driving all day, so you must have a good rest at night. Every time we say we should take turns driving, you never let me drive. If you don't go to rest, it will be my turn to drive tomorrow morning." Tang Tang said.

"This……"

"Didn't you see the strange behavior of the zombie just now? There might be some changes in this rain, so we'd better be careful. I wonder how Brother Wang Cheng and the others are doing?" Tang Tang said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry about them. Maybe they can walk fast. Maybe it's not raining over there. Besides, they have enough food and water at this time. They are still capable of fighting. There should be no problem. I know my soldiers."

"I'm done eating, you should eat quickly too, and then go take a rest." Tang Tangku left his seat and stood in front of the window looking outside. Although the sky was still very cloudy, it was basically not raining anymore.

Feng Lei quickly finished his meal, cleaned up the table, and went to the staff dormitory to rest. He had just seen the zombies' unusual behavior, so keeping watch was extremely important. All he could do now was to take advantage of the time to rest well so that he could drive better tomorrow.

Tang Tang, who was on night watch, had nothing to do. She thought of a zombie's crystal core that had not been taken out, so she took the Dragon Roar Knife, opened the door, split the zombie's head, and picked out the crystal core with the tip of the knife. When she picked out the crystal core, Tang Tang immediately found something wrong. The crystal core was no longer a chestnut-sized spherical stone, but had irregular edges and corners.

Tang Tang picked it up and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, she remembered that there were several crystal cores in this shape before. She thought it was strange and put them aside. Tang Tang returned to the supermarket, closed the door, sat back at the table, and took out the crystal core that was left alone. After careful inspection, she found a problem. There was a flowing blood thread in the crystal core that she had just dug out. This was not the case with the previous crystal core.

Tang Tang looked at the crystal core in front of her and didn't know what was going on. The book didn't mention irregular crystal cores or crystal cores with blood streaks. Is there any difference between them? Take the crystal core with blood streaks for example. Did the zombies already exist or did it become like this because of the rain?

There are no zombies nearby now, so Tang Tang has no way to verify it. She can only put it away for now and verify it when collecting crystal cores tomorrow.
