With a sharp stick, he hit the head of the rushing zombie, and Bai Duan nimbly got into the second-hand car he bought at a low price, threw the packed luggage into the back seat, and started the car.
Someone upstairs from the resident saw this scene and shouted loudly, hoping that Bai Duan could save them and wait for them, but Bai Duan did not look back.
He frowned slightly, and cautiously glanced at the zombies attracted by the shouts, quickly found a road with fewer zombies, and stepped on the accelerator.
The cries for help from behind turned into angry curses, and they were quickly thrown behind the car, gradually becoming indistinct. Bai Duan turned the steering wheel nervously, until he left the residential area with narrow roads and drove on the wide main road, then he was slightly relieved.
There are not many zombies wandering on the main road, but it does not mean that it is unimpeded. All kinds of vehicles are stuck in the road, which looks like a giant serial car accident-of course, the actual situation is not much different.
The doors of some cars were wide open, and it should be the owner who abandoned the car to escape; in some cars, there were zombies locked inside, like beasts trapped in a cage with teeth and claws.
Bai Duan looked at the blocked and seemingly endless main road, and confirmed that his little broken car could not pass, so he had to sigh and dragged his big backpack to get out of the car—anyway, his little broken car It's not very strong, and it hit a few zombies along the way, and the front of the car has sunk in. Even if it doesn't encounter a "big traffic jam", it probably won't last long.
Putting the backpack on his shoulders, picking up the iron rod, Bai Duan nimbly stepped on the roof of the car, jumped from one car to another, and occasionally swept away the screaming zombies who wanted to jump on him with the iron rod .
Occasionally, he would hear someone calling for help from inside the car, but he still didn't mean to help. Bai Duan has never been a person full of sympathy, he has no benevolence to help the world, he only wants to be alone-protecting himself is already exhausting, Bai Duan really has no ability to help those who only ask others for help, but dare not step out. The person who takes the first step to save himself.
After running for about ten kilometers in this way, Bai Duan felt that his physical strength was a little bit behind him, so he quickly locked a door open and looked rather solid brand-name car, got in and locked the door.
Leaning on the leather seat, Bai Duan took a long breath, took out the food and water in the backpack and ate, at the same time started the mobile phone, clicked on the previously downloaded map, and confirmed the next direction—even if how to save , The power of the mobile phone is still irreparably reduced. He needs to print the map in his mind as much as possible before the power is exhausted.
This day is the third day of the zombie outbreak.
Bai Duan is an orphan. Although he has no parents to take care of him, he is beautiful and cute, and has a well-behaved and sensible personality, so his life in the orphanage is not bad.
However, probably because he is too sensible and independent, the staff in the orphanage are very reassured about him, and they don't pay much attention to him. Most of their energy is focused on those children who are sweet-talking, acting like a baby, or who often cause trouble body.
In this regard, Bai Duan has no complaints, and even enjoys this kind of independent life within a certain range. Even if there was a family willing to adopt him because of his good looks, Bai Duan refused without hesitation.
Because she can't play with other children in the orphanage, besides going to school every day, Bai Duan will go to work in a pet shop not far from the orphanage. They said Bai Duan was his nephew.
Although the monthly salary is not much, Bai Duan is not a spendthrift person, the money is enough to make him live better than other orphans, not to mention, Bai Duan likes working in the pet shop very much.
Probably because he grew up in an orphanage without any close family and friends, so Bai Duan's sense of belonging to human society is very weak. Compared with humans with complicated thoughts and many desires, he prefers to get along with simple animals. , and in the pet shop, he is more popular with pets than the shop owner.
No matter how mischievous or fearful pets are, they can calm down in the comfort of white satin, so that others can better bathe, trim, and check their bodies—this is why the shopkeeper risked hiring child labor Danger, the reason why Bai Duan was left to help. As long as Bai Duan is around, the pets will be very well-behaved and obedient, which greatly improves his work efficiency.
In this way, Bai Duan went to school and worked part-time at the same time, until he graduated from high school and reached the age of 18.
It is difficult for the orphanage to afford the college expenses for the orphans. Although the government has specially set up scholarships, Bai Duan does not have much obsession with going to college. After graduating from high school, he found a job as a cleaner in the zoo , self-sufficient.
With his innate affinity for animals, Bai Duan is a duck to water in this job. He can easily get along with animals, even ferocious beasts like tigers and lions can quickly accept him as a strange "intruder".
Because of his hard work and high efficiency, although he only has a high school degree, Bai Duan's salary is not low, and he is quite satisfied with this kind of life. He rented a one-bedroom apartment near the zoo and bought another I bought a second-hand car and lived a leisurely life.
However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Bai Duan, who has always been in good health, suddenly developed a high fever for no reason. He took two days of sick leave, but he never thought that just after the fever subsided, he would find that the whole world... had changed.
Outside the window is no longer a bustling and prosperous scene, but full of terrifying dangers like the end of the world. Some human beings have inexplicably turned into man-eating monsters, walking stiffly in the streets and alleys, hunting all the same kind that appeared in front of them—these monsters are called "zombies" by the survivors.
In addition to the zombies that suddenly appeared, Bai Duan's own body also changed, becoming... somewhat different from ordinary humans.
For Bai Duan, such a change should be beneficial. His body seems to have been strengthened, becoming more agile and healthy, and more importantly, he has obtained the "special function" of manipulating plants.
Of course, due to the early appearance of the ability, the power is still very weak, and it is difficult to use it when fighting zombies, but Bai Duan is not in a hurry, except that he will take a period of time every day to learn how to control the ability. He also has enough strength to protect himself when facing zombies.
On the first day after the fever subsided, Bai Duan tried to leave the house, tentatively killed zombies with homemade weapons, and quickly found their weak point—the head.
The next day, Bai Duan, who had combat experience, went to the only small supermarket in the residential area after recuperating. Thank God, this supermarket was just opposite the building where Bai Duan lived. It was not far away. Not too many people.
In the supermarket, Bai Duan packed his big backpack to the brim. If he saved some food, it would probably be enough for him to last for about ten days—as for more food, he couldn't hold it, otherwise it would affect his mobility.
On the third day, Bai Duan left his rental house with luggage and weapons. Compared with most people who prefer to hide at home and hope for government assistance, he is more willing to choose to save himself and take the initiative to find a place of shelter-of course, such actions are based on confidence in his own strength.
Bai Duan's first target was the military area located in the southern outskirts of the city.
There are defensive facilities, troops stationed there, and sufficient ammunition and firepower. If there are no major accidents, they should be able to protect survivors—if the military region has the ability to organize a search and rescue team, the closer it is to the southern region, the easier it is to encounter them. The search and rescue team has a higher chance of being rescued than sitting still.
Of course, if the accident did happen and the military region was unable to shelter the survivors, the decision to move to the suburbs should not be wrong. After all, the population density there is smaller than that of the urban area, and the probability of encountering a large number of zombies is lower. If Bai Duan's judgment is correct, most of the zombies should also be attracted by food and gradually move to the urban area.
Normally, it would take three to four hours to drive from Bai Duan's rented house to the southern suburban military area, but now that the roads are blocked and zombies are rampant, it took Bai Duan more than a week to reach the southern district of the city.
The road was not peaceful. Although Bai Duan was careful enough, he still encountered all kinds of troubles, and even his enemies were not only zombies, but also humans themselves.
In this crisis-ridden end times, both good and evil will be magnified to the extreme. Bai Duan has seen lovers and relatives push each other into the mouths of zombies in order to survive; he has seen people fight for a little living supplies; Under the pressure... Of course, apart from these ugliness, Bai Duan has also seen lovers who sacrificed themselves to protect their lovers, brave and loving parents who left the chance of escape to their children, and people supporting each other. Solidarity.
Bai Duan wandered outside of human society, watching the scenes of joys and sorrows with cold eyes. He had saved people, had conflicts with people, and even killed people, but from the beginning to the end, he was always alone, and he did not accept anyone as his companion. .
When he arrived in the southern area, Bai Duan's only companion was a golden monkey that escaped from the zoo.
The golden monkey is a national first-class protected animal, and it is the key care object of the zoo. They are delicate and lively, and their tempers are quite arrogant and self-indulgent. They would get angry and play pranks with the breeder at every turn. The situation did not improve until the arrival of Bai Duan.
Seeing that he was liked by those golden monkeys, Bai Duan basically took care of them and got along very well with them.
After the doomsday, although Bai Duan was thinking about the animals in the zoo, he was unable to rescue them, and he didn't know the situation in the zoo. Unexpectedly, when he was surrounded by zombies, a zombie that attacked him from behind suddenly Was hit by a thermos cup falling from a height.
Taking the time to look in the direction where the vacuum flask fell, Bai Duan was extremely surprised to see a familiar golden monkey stepping on a tree branch, raising its front paws and screaming loudly, as if it was very excited about the "great feat" he had made—and then , the golden monkey became Bai Duan's only companion.
Bai Duan didn't know how the golden monkey escaped from the zoo, but it seemed to have mutated to some extent. It was not only smarter and more human, but also much stronger. It could easily hold objects that were heavier than itself. Things moved lightly in the air, helping Bai Duan a lot.
One person and one monkey cooperated and protected each other, and finally arrived safely near the Southern Suburb Military Region, and saw a group of dark green military vehicles slowly approaching from a distance.
The window of the leading car was lowered, a swarthy head poked out, and cautiously glanced up and down the white satin: "Are you a survivor?"
"Well, yes." Bai Duan nodded, and put the golden monkey on her shoulders close together, showing the first smile since the end of the world, "I walked for nearly a week to come here, I want to Is it okay to seek asylum from the military?"
