Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 270

Jiang Sheng's movements were a little clumsy. The old basket seemed to carry a heavier burden than the items. He was extremely careful in every move. He knew that in such a doomsday situation, any small movement could cause unnecessary trouble. The silence around him was broken by the echo of his footsteps. Every step seemed to be on thin ice, tense and alert. The dust on the shelves danced gently in the weak light, reflecting the desolation and oblivion of this world.

He thought to himself that salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, these most common condiments in daily life, have now become precious materials indispensable for survival. Every time he reached out to take something, he tried to minimize the amplitude of his movements to avoid causing unnecessary noise, and prayed silently in his heart that these small bottles and jars could bring him some comfort, even a moment of taste enjoyment.

Turning around a shelf, he encountered a scene that made his heart beat faster. A zombie's body was lying there, as if it was a warning forgotten by time. This sudden discovery caught him off guard, and his face turned pale in an instant. According to the rules of the apocalypse, zombies will not fall down easily unless they suffer a fatal blow, and they will not kill each other. This means that there were signs of human activity here, and a survivor with strong survival ability.

Jiang Sheng frowned and squatted down to observe the body carefully. Dried pus and blood and bullet holes were clearly visible, which was a typical sign of long-range precision shooting, and the time was very fresh, no more than two days. Such a discovery made him uneasy, which meant that this mysterious survivor not only had excellent survival skills, but also had excellent marksmanship, and could easily survive in a world full of zombies.

Standing up, Jiang Sheng's eyes swept through the store. The vacuum packaging area that might have been storing abundant supplies was now filled with empty shelves and some expired food exposed to the air. This was undoubtedly a scene he didn't want to see, but reality was always cruel, and the competition for resources in the doomsday world was more intense than ever.

"Damn it!" He cursed in a low voice, feeling dissatisfied. But reason told him that this was not the time to stop and feel upset. Carrying the basket, Jiang Sheng carefully left the store, and each step seemed heavier. His heart was filled with complex emotions, including vigilance against unknown survivors and worries about his own situation.

This new survivor, together with Neville and the mother and son, made this already dangerous world even more complicated. Jiang Sheng realized that this not only increased the number of competitors for survival, but more importantly, the appearance of the other party meant that he was no longer the only creature wandering in the city. In particular, the other party's precise shooting skills, like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, made him feel unprecedentedly threatened. In front of such a master, he believed that he had no chance of winning. Unless he could cleverly avoid it, any head-on conflict would be a disaster that he could not bear.

Walking out of the store, the sun was still glaring, but Jiang Sheng's mood was like a dark cloud. He realized that from this moment on, every step he took had to be more cautious, and every decision was a matter of life and death. In such a new environment full of unknowns and dangers, he had to learn to survive more secretly until he found his own way of survival.

"What should I do?" Jiang Sheng's inner struggle surged like a tide, and every choice seemed to be a matter of life and death. As the night deepened, the streets were filled with an indescribable silence and desolation, and the occasional sound of the wind seemed to tell of the cruelty of this world. Hunger, the most basic but also the most urgent need, was eroding his willpower bit by bit. His eyes wandered over the abandoned streets, and every corner seemed to hide unknown dangers and tiny hopes.

Looking back at the once prosperous city, with tall buildings, bright lights, and smiles on people's faces, all of this seems to have become a distant dream. Now, the world has been changed by an unknown virus, the order of human society has collapsed, and the traces of civilization have been ruthlessly wiped out, leaving only endless ruins and wandering zombies.

The protest from his stomach forced him to face the reality. Food became more precious than gold. Jiang Sheng knew that his physical condition was not optimistic. The long-term physical exhaustion and lack of nutrition made it particularly difficult for him to raise his gun every time. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who would have thought that in the end of the world, the biggest enemy would be his own hunger.

"I hope he has left long ago!" This sentence is both a self-consolation and a helpless compromise. In such an environment, everyone is a lonely warrior, and in order to survive, they must make the most difficult choice. Jiang Sheng tightened the gun in his hand and decided not to hesitate and continue to explore forward, even if there are unknown dangers waiting for him ahead.

When he drove the Ford explosion-proof police car to the front of the medium-sized hypermarket, the scene in front of him once again confirmed the cruelty of the end of the world. The entrance of the hypermarket seemed to be the remains of a battlefield, with bloodstains, broken limbs and arms silently telling of the tragic battle that took place not long ago. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, but for Jiang Sheng, it was more like a signal, a signal that he might find food.

There was no time to sigh or feel fear, the instinct of survival drove him to take action. He took a deep breath, stepped on the accelerator, and the explosion-proof vehicle rushed towards the shaky electric gate like an angry beast. With a loud bang, the gate finally collapsed under the weight. At that moment, Jiang Sheng felt both relieved and worried - relieved that he had found a new place to explore, and worried about the zombies he might encounter.

The explosion-proof vehicle broke into the hypermarket, ran over the front desk detector, and rushed straight to the living area. This was once a microcosm of daily life, but now it was just a mess. Jiang Sheng quickly got out of the car, holding the gun tightly in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. Fortunately, this place seemed to have been looted. Apart from the daily necessities scattered on the ground, there was almost no trace of zombies.

He shuttled between the shelves, looking for any food that could fill his stomach. Although most of the food had been looted, he accidentally found a box of forgotten compressed biscuits and several unopened bottles of mineral water in an inconspicuous corner. At this moment, Jiang Sheng's heart was filled with indescribable joy. These seemingly insignificant discoveries were priceless treasures to him.

He packed up the food in a hurry and did not stay for too long. In the doomsday world, staying any longer could mean danger. When leaving the supermarket, Jiang Sheng looked back at this place that was once full of life, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that such days would continue, and every search and survival would be a test of will and courage. But he also understood that as long as there was hope, he must never give up.

In this doomsday world, Jiang Sheng learned how to find hope in despair and how to persevere in the face of adversity, because only in this way can he continue to write his own chapter of survival on this ruins.

The American police explosion-proof vehicle is undoubtedly the best in modern police equipment for its power and practicality. For the general public, it may be difficult to directly feel the shock and sense of security brought by this special vehicle, but as long as we have a deep understanding of the technical details and performance data behind it, we can deeply appreciate the "awesomeness" of this explosion-proof vehicle.

First of all, the bulletproof capability of the US police explosion-proof vehicle is one of its most eye-catching features. The entire vehicle has been carefully bulletproofed, and the interior of the door panels are covered with Kevlar material, a high-tech material widely used in bulletproof vests, which has the characteristics of lightness and high strength. This material can effectively resist shooting from conventional pistols and shotguns, providing solid protection for the people in the car. In an emergency, such protection capabilities can undoubtedly greatly improve the safety factor of the police.

Of course, in addition to bulletproof capabilities, the explosion-proof vehicle also has excellent power performance. It is equipped with a 5.6-liter V12 engine with a powerful 320 horsepower. Such a power configuration enables the explosion-proof vehicle to maintain a stable driving speed under various complex road conditions, whether it is a pursuit on the highway or a patrol on the city streets, it can easily cope with it. At the same time, its efficient braking system and specially strengthened suspension system also ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle in emergency situations.

However, such a high-performance explosion-proof vehicle is naturally expensive. The cost of a police explosion-proof vehicle is as high as $10, which can buy five Passats in the United States. If you are willing to add a little money, you can even buy two entry-level Porsches or an entry-level Ferrari. However, for the police department, such an investment is completely worthwhile. Because an explosion-proof vehicle can not only provide strong security protection capabilities, but also can quickly and effectively respond to various complex situations in emergency situations, protecting the lives and property of police officers and the public.

Of course, when it comes to the actual application effect of explosion-proof vehicles, we have to mention their performance in actual police operations. In the scene of rampage in the supermarket, the performance of the explosion-proof vehicle can be described as extremely heroic. Its sturdy front fender can easily knock away and crush the carts, cash registers and cylindrical shelves for cotton-padded clothes and trousers in front of the car, opening up a safe passage for the police. When faced with the crazy attack of a dozen zombie dogs, the police only need to put the car in neutral, pull open the side guard plate, and mount the assault rifle to shoot, and they can easily deal with it. Although such a scene is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show the powerful response ability and practicality of the explosion-proof vehicle in emergency situations.

In addition, the explosion-proof vehicle is also equipped with advanced communication systems and navigation equipment, which can keep in touch with the command center in real time to ensure smooth and accurate information. At the same time, its interior space is spacious and comfortable, equipped with necessary first aid equipment and tools, and can provide comprehensive support and protection for police officers.

In short, the American police explosion-proof vehicle has become a leader in modern police equipment with its powerful bulletproof ability, excellent power performance and practical performance. It not only provides solid safety protection for police officers, but also can quickly and effectively respond to various complex situations in emergency situations to protect the lives and property of the public. For such an "awesome" special vehicle, we have to sigh at the magic and greatness of modern technology.

On the hood, the claws of several zombie dogs scratched the bulletproof glass with a harsh sound, leaving a trail of stains. Their eyes flashed with greed and wildness, as if they could penetrate this transparent layer of protection and look directly at Jiang Sheng in the car. Jiang Sheng reacted quickly, with an agile reverse gear operation. With a sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the zombie dogs were suddenly thrown away and fell heavily to the ground. Then, he shifted gears and accelerated without hesitation, turning the steering wheel sharply. The Ford explosion-proof police car was like a roaring metal beast, rushing through the narrow aisles of the food area. Wherever it went, the goods on the shelves collapsed one after another, clearing a path for him.

After temporarily forcing the zombie dogs to retreat, Jiang Sheng did not give them a chance to breathe. He quickly unscrewed the protective plate on his head, revealing half of his body, holding the assault rifle tightly in his hand, and calmly pointed the muzzle at the threats that tried to approach again. Gunshots rang out, and dense bullets were like a swarm of angry bees, drowning several zombie dogs in a storm of death. The continuous shooting made his arms numb, but he had no time to rest. He quickly changed the magazine and continued to maintain this one-sided battle.

With a "click", the guard plate was locked again. At this time, the zombie dogs had climbed onto the roof of the car regardless of everything. Their sharp claws collided with the car body, making a heart-pounding sound. Jiang Sheng calmly put the car into reverse gear. The armored vehicle was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and it quickly backed up along the original road. The zombie dogs staggered on the roof, but eventually they were unable to hold on to the car body due to the high speed. The moment they rushed out of the supermarket door, they were exposed to the scorching sun, howling in pain, their skin quickly burning and turning into a cloud of disgusting smoke.

The battle was fast and fierce. Jiang Sheng almost effortlessly killed more than a dozen zombie dogs, which made him more convinced that it was a wise decision to break into the police station to obtain the explosion-proof vehicle. He knew that in this doomsday world, owning such an indestructible mobile fortress was tantamount to having the greatest capital for survival. Shifting into forward gear again, Jiang Sheng drove the armored vehicle back into the supermarket. His memory was clear. In the previous quick glance, those neatly arranged mineral water bottles seemed to be waving to him. This was not only a source of water to quench his thirst, but also a hope for survival.

Before getting out of the car, Jiang Sheng carefully checked the equipment in the car. He turned on the switches of the explosion-proof lights one by one. In an instant, the searchlight on the roof was like the sun in the daytime, illuminating every dim corner of the supermarket, and even the tiniest dust could not escape. He put on a bulletproof vest and helmet to ensure his own safety. He also stuffed several full magazines on his body. Finally, his hand gently stroked the old friend on his waist that accompanied him through countless crises - the "bone chopper", which was his most trusted partner in the doomsday world.

Everything was ready. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, slowly opened the door, stepped out of the mobile castle, and entered an unknown but challenging new battlefield. Every step he took was firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed his desire for life and fearlessness for the future. On this ruin, he will continue to move forward, looking for more resources and the slim chance of survival in the doomsday. On the hood, the claws of several zombie dogs made a harsh sound on the bulletproof glass, leaving a trail of stains. Their eyes flashed with greed and wildness, as if they could penetrate this transparent protection and look directly at Jiang Sheng in the car.

The battle was fast and fierce, and Jiang Sheng easily eliminated more than a dozen zombie dogs, which made him more convinced that it was a wise decision to break into the police station to obtain the explosion-proof vehicle. He knew very well that in this doomsday world, owning such an indestructible mobile fortress was tantamount to having the greatest capital for survival.

Jiang Sheng put the vehicle into forward gear again and drove the armored vehicle back into the supermarket. His memory was clear. In his previous quick glance, the neatly arranged mineral water bottles seemed to be waving to him. They were not only a source of water to quench his thirst, but also a hope for survival.

Everything was ready. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, slowly opened the door, stepped out of the mobile castle, and entered an unknown but challenging new battlefield. Every step he took was firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed his desire for life and fearlessness for the future. On this ruin, he will continue to move forward, looking for more resources, and also looking for the slim chance of survival in the doomsday.

After two days of baptism of battle, Jiang Sheng's image has changed drastically compared to when he first arrived. Although his body is covered with dirt and sweat and his face is tired, the bravery and tenacity that comes from his bones are more conspicuous. He holds an assault rifle, his movements are professional and alert, and after looking around to confirm that there is no danger around, he begins to carry supplies to the Ford explosion-proof police car in an orderly manner.

Boxes of mineral water were quickly transferred to the car with his efforts, 24 bottles per box, boxes in a row, plus four or five bottles scattered on the shelf, nothing was left out. In such a doomsday environment, food might be obtained by other means, but water is the source of life. Without water, he believed he could not even survive a day.

After solving the water problem, Jiang Sheng immediately started looking for food. Canned food, milk powder, honey, and several bags of specially dehydrated rice and flour, these foods that are easy to store for a long time became his first choice. Although these foods have been stored for more than two years and are covered with a thick layer of dust, in this environment, any food that can be stored for a long time is extremely valuable, and Jiang Sheng is not worried that they will go bad.

Time passed quietly in the busyness. When Jiang Sheng looked up to check the time, he found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the experience since the apocalypse, there were about three hours before dark. Time was particularly urgent to empty the firearms resources in the police station before darkness fell.

Reason told him that he should stop when he had enough. If the supplies in the car were used sparingly, they could at least guarantee two months of survival. In the apocalypse, greed would only bring greater trouble.

Sitting back in the driver's seat of the explosion-proof car, Jiang Sheng noticed through the thick bulletproof glass that in those dark corners where light could not reach, there seemed to be some creatures quietly moving. Having experienced countless life-and-death situations, he remained highly alert to unknown dangers and did not dare to provoke them easily. In the doomsday world, no one knows what kind of monster will be encountered around the next corner. If they encounter a zombie leader-level existence, even this sturdy explosion-proof car is still unknown whether it can escape unscathed.

Back at the Williamsburg Police Station, the sun had already set, and the afterglow no longer shone in front of the police station, and the hall became even darker. But this tranquility was a great comfort to Jiang Sheng at the moment.

On the way, he simply ate some canned food and drank some water. Although it was just to fill his stomach, the hunger and anxiety from inside and outside were greatly relieved. In the doomsday, it is a rare happiness to have a moment of peace and a full stomach. Next, what he needs to do is to use the remaining time to transfer the weapons and equipment in the police station as much as possible to prepare for more unknown challenges. In this world full of despair, every glimmer of hope needs to be fought for with wisdom and courage.

Carrying an assault rifle, Jiang Sheng rushed into the brightly lit hall at the fastest speed. His footsteps echoed in the empty building, and he seemed particularly hurried. He ran through the hall without stopping, jogging all the way, with a clear goal in mind, to the basement. There, the key to surviving the doomsday was hidden - the ammunition depot.

The air in the basement was heavy and humid, and the dim light barely illuminated the road ahead. Jiang Sheng knew that bullets were the real hard currency. Although guns were important, in the current environment, guns without bullets were like decorations and useless. Therefore, he decided to carry bullets first. He had collected several guns of each model in case they were damaged or lost, but once the ammunition was exhausted, it meant that the initiative to survive would be taken away.

Although the plan was good, it was difficult to implement. Within two hours, Jiang Sheng was sweating and panting, but he couldn't even move half of the stock in the ammunition depot. The reason is not difficult to understand. On the one hand, the weight of the bullets themselves cannot be underestimated; on the other hand, the continuous high-intensity labor and the tense state of alertness pushed his physical strength to the limit. He worked from early morning to dusk, almost without stopping, and he had to be vigilant at all times about the potential threat of zombies. When the pointer pointed to five o'clock, Jiang Sheng finally admitted that today's mission could only end here.

Looking at the two armories that had not been completely emptied, he felt unwilling but helpless. Finally, he dragged the last box of precious bullets and slowly left the basement. Before leaving, Jiang Sheng did not forget to lock the door to prevent zombies from breaking in and destroying these precious resources.

Before the sun completely set, he drove back to the relative safety of the jewelry store, which was his temporary haven.

In the following days, the image of the body in the jewelry store always lingered in Jiang Sheng's mind, reminding him of the cruelty and unpredictability of the end of the world. He became more cautious and no longer took risks easily. After ensuring the safe transfer of the remaining bullets in the police station, he drove the explosion-proof vehicle and turned his target to Long Island City in the north for a new round of material search.

The expedition to Long Island City brought him unexpected gains. He not only found a large amount of dehydrated vegetables, rice, olive oil, canned fruit, sugar and other foods, although many of them were expired, but in such a doomsday environment, being able to fill your stomach is a luxury, and the bad taste is not so important. In addition, he accidentally found several household sewage purifiers, which was a pleasant surprise.

Today, he spent half a day looting in Long Island City. The car was loaded with supplies, including necessary food and several precious purifiers. In the doomsday world, clean water resources are also scarce, and personal hygiene has become a luxury. He was unable to take a shower for a long time, and his body was always filled with the unique stench of zombies. This feeling made Jiang Sheng feel unbearable. Even in such an environment, maintaining basic cleanliness has become a kind of persistence in his heart.

Back at the jewelry store, Jiang Sheng began to plan how to install these sewage purifiers. Although the living conditions were difficult, at least he would try his best to create a slightly cleaner living environment for himself. In this doomsday world, every small improvement is an unyielding persistence in life.
