doomed [last days]

"Be careful."

Lin Shen walked in front, holding Shi Yiran's hand tightly, not daring to let go, for fear that something would happen to Shi Yiran who was following her.

Seeing her cautious look, Shi Yiran felt for a moment that she was like a toddler who needed her parents to keep watch over her.While laughing, her heart was covered with heat, and the tension was dispelled a lot.

"You should also watch the road carefully," she said in a low voice, holding Lin Shen's hand back, "Be careful where you step."

Their destination this time was the shopping mall building not far away, which seemed to have seven floors.The building is located on the outer ring of Hongchi, in sharp contrast to the crowded and cramped residential areas around it.

It should be the commercial center of this area.

Lin Shen parked the off-road vehicle behind a one-story house, where weeds were taller than people, and when spring came, they were still standing there withered and yellow and tough, just hiding the off-road vehicle.

She didn't leave Shi Yiran there to guard the supplies in their car.It is said to be supplies, but in fact it is just a box and a half of mineral water, and some bread and eight-treasure porridge.If someone passing by found the car and became malicious, leaving only Shi Yiran there, not to mention keeping a car full of things, it would be difficult for her to keep herself.

Still the same sentence, if you lose something, you just need to find it again, but people must not have any accidents.

After arriving at the shopping mall, Lin Shen found a side door and walked in with Shi Yiran.They didn't spend too much time on the first floor. At this time, it was useless to collect more luxury goods.

"Look around in these stores."

After reaching the third floor, Lin Shen looked at the sign next to the elevator, pointed to several familiar outdoor sports brands above, and said to Shi Yiran: "We..."

Shi Yiran interrupted her and said in a low voice, "We'll look for it separately, so it's faster."

Her eyes recovered quickly, and now she can distinguish what objects she sees.Therefore, at this time, two people come to look separately, and the efficiency will be much higher.

If she is still following Lin Shen, what is the difference from her before?

But it's all cumbersome.

Since entering the city, they dare not let go and speak loudly.However, although Shi Yiran's voice was low, Lin Shen saw the familiar persistence and stubbornness on her face.

She was still worried, but she couldn't tie Shi Yiran by her side forever, so she took a step back and said, "Let's go together, and then search for things in the two adjacent stores. I'm looking for a tent. Take a look." , is there anything else that can be used."

Lin Shen quickly divided the tasks, and immediately added: "Call me if you need anything."

She chattered endlessly, but wouldn't back down any further.

"Got it," Shi Yiran smiled after hearing her finish, "Let's go find something."

They don't plan to live in the city, the city is cramped, and there will be zombies walking around the street from time to time. If they stay in the city, it is almost equivalent to nesting in the room every day, don't think about coming out again .

Although there are hidden dangers in the mountains, what Lin Shen thinks is that what they want to enter is a mountain that has already been developed. It is best to find an empty house in the mountains. If you can't find it today, you can look slowly. In short, find a place first A tent is necessary.

The stores in the shopping mall are next to each other, crowded, but it gives them the greatest convenience.

Lin Shen went into a store and looked at the dusty jackets hanging on the wall. Without thinking about it, he made a gesture and took two pieces of L size.

In this kind of outdoor store, tents are the best thing to find. Lin Shen looked at the sign hanging on the outside of the blue storage bag, picked out a tent, and found a moisture-proof mat.

They can't take too many things at once, so they can only take some necessities first this time.

Lin Shen stuffed the moisture-proof pad and the jacket into the marching bag, and was about to check for snake repellent powder, but her movements stopped suddenly, and then she rushed out the door with a knife in her hand, and went to the door without any pause. Run next door.

She just caught the voice of the zombie, and her heart immediately lifted.

Shi Yiran must have nothing to do!

She heard it right, there really are zombies coming.Lin Shen was still a step too late. As soon as she stepped into the store where Shi Yiran was, she watched a zombie covered in dried blood rush towards Shi Yiran.

After all, Lin Shen is just an ordinary person without superpowers. She can't teleport there, but she didn't have time to think about anything, and her brain gave the most correct instructions.

The pistol that had been kept in his pocket was pulled out.

At the very moment, when Lin Shen had already held the gun and raised his arm halfway, the zombie fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Shi Yiran, who had been blocked by zombies before, tightly held an engineering shovel in front of him with both hands, and half of the shovel was stained with bright red blood.

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, retracted the gun, and immediately went up to fix it.

When the saber was pulled out from the heart, the zombie who was still struggling to stand up was completely still.

Lin Shen stood up, looked at the pale Shi Yiran, and felt relieved.

She took the engineering shovel that Shi Yiran was still holding and put it aside, but in an instant, she hugged Shi Yiran as if she had lost all her strength.

Putting his chin on her shoulder, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and gently stroked her back with his hand without the knife, feeling the trembling body in his arms gradually calm down.

Her eyes were red, and when she recovered from her strength, Lin Shen said in a soft voice, as if joking, "You're quite strong."

The shovel cut directly on the zombie's shoulder and neck, and half of the shovel went in. It was like inertia. After pressing the zombie and falling to the ground, Lin Shen went up to make up for the cut.

Shi Yiran, who was hugged by Lin Shen, choked up, and said with a smile in tears: "I'm an orthopedic surgeon."

Her voice trembled a little, evidently frightened.But Shi Yiran knew in her heart that after the initial shock, she thought of Lin Shen who killed the zombie for the first time before she knew it.

Now she has Lin Shen hugging her to comfort her, but what about Lin Shen at that time?

Humans have flesh and blood and emotions. After killing a monster that was once their own kind for the first time, how can they calm down so easily?

She took a deep breath, pushed Lin Shen away, wiped away the tears that slipped down from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, and then said, "How is your search over there? Let's hurry up and look for it again." Look for it, see if there is anything you need."

Now is not the time to be sad, killing one zombie doesn't mean the second one won't come again.

So they can only move faster.

Lin Shen also knew this truth. She weighed the bag on her back and said, "I found a tent and a moisture-proof pad, and then I found a sleeping bag and snake repellent powder."

After finishing speaking, he directly looked for it in Shi Yiran's shop.

Shi Yiran, who had been looking at her all the time, felt a bit sore at the tip of her heart, but moved accordingly.

At that time, Shi Yiran took an outdoor bag and packed a set of outdoor pots and utensils. She also found a few daily necessities such as towels and folding bottles, and finally she was done.

And the engineering shovel she just used is also a good thing, a multifunctional engineering shovel, with a whistle and flint and a tactical knife in the shovel tube.

But Lin Shen hated the blood stains on it, so she picked another four-section engineer shovel and handed it to Shi Yiran.

In the end, each of them was carrying a bag, she was holding a knife and carrying the tent, and Shi Yiran, who followed her, was carrying an engineering shovel and carrying a packed sleeping bag, and then walked out of the mall.

The hands of the two did not continue to hold each other, but their hearts became calmer.

After getting into the car, Shi Yiran let go of all her strength and leaned on the back of the passenger seat. Seeing Lin Shen's slightly lowered head in profile, her heart throbbed.

"Lin Shen," she stretched out her hand and took Lin Shen's hand on the gear lever, Shi Yiran said softly, "It's been so hard for you."

In her voice, there was a deep feeling that couldn't be hidden. Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, and the tip of his ear quickly turned red.

Eye sockets were a little red, Lin Shen blinked vigorously, and muttered: "It's not hard."

Hearing Lin Shen's voice, Shi Yiran clenched that hand tightly.

She hasn't said it before, it doesn't mean she doesn't know.No matter how strong Lin Shen is, her heart is also fragile and sensitive, but Lin Shen has to hold on all the time, supporting the two of them.

Shi Yiran promised in her heart that it won't happen in the future, she can see and stand by Lin Shen's side now.

"Okay, drive quickly." Shi Yiran adjusted her emotions and urged her.

Lin Shen glanced at her, curled his lips, and looked a little aggrieved.Obviously she started it first, but now she is urging herself the other way.

Seeing her like that, Shi Yiran burst out laughing.Lin Shen was so laughed at by her that his face turned red, but he stepped on the gas pedal obediently.

The off-road vehicle drove out from behind the bungalow and headed towards Hongchi Mountain.

Shi Yiran looked at the lifeless world outside through the car window. After leaving the city, she asked, "Is this a small village?"

Lin Shen glanced to the right and saw a large area of ​​old-fashioned bungalows next to the road, and replied: "Well, it is a village built at the foot of the mountain, called Hongshan Village. Let's walk another ten kilometers to the west. There is also Chishan Village."

Once the word "Hongchi" is removed, it becomes two villages.

When they drove into the mountains, they seemed to have rushed into the embrace of nature, leaving behind all the holes in the old world and ushering in a new life.

Smelling the smell of green grass, Shi Yiran suddenly asked, "Lin Shen, is there a forest guard station here?"

"Forest ranger station..." Lin Shen's eyes lit up, and his voice was a little excited, "Yes, I met a ranger before and had a chat with him!"

There are a lot of vegetation in the mountain area, and special people are needed to patrol the mountain and protect the forest. The rangers basically only go home once a few days, and they usually live in the forest ranger station in the mountain.

"The mountain road must also lead to the forest ranger station," Shi Yiran said, "When you drive, pay attention to the signs on the side of the road to see if you can find the forest ranger station."

The location of the forest ranger station was determined after surveying and investigation, and basic living facilities must have been built.If they can find the ranger station, it will be a big step forward in their future life.

After hearing her finish, Lin Shen replied loudly: "Okay!"
