This is apocalyptic

Chapter 78 077: Ominous

"Maybe you're right. Everything will be destroyed."

Bai Xiao stepped on the fallen spider and rubbed it gently, and it disappeared without a trace. "This continuation of almost dead silence is enough to make people exhausted."

"Oh?"

"But as long as there is still one person who wants to live, it is not meaningless. You can't just wait and see. All stories will have a happy ending."

“Stories are just stories.”

Zhang Tan thought for a while, took out a map from the backpack behind him, spread it on the ground, and moved his hands. His skinny fingers were not nimble, but he finally succeeded in folding a paper airplane.

He exhaled and threw the paper plane towards Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao looked at his inexplicable movements and did not catch it. The paper plane flew across the house and finally landed lightly on the ground here, very close to the fire, and one corner was ignited by the fire.

Bai Xiao put out the fire in that corner, but did not pick it up. Instead, he looked at him.

“I once rescued a survivalist. Before the disaster, his behavior was laughed at by people around him. He was worried about the future every day, but he took it as fun. Until the day the disaster struck, human society entered a dark age.

"He was a true survivalist who outlived everyone else and lived better."

"Why would such a person need your help?" Bai Xiao asked.

"Because life was so prosperous before the disaster, most ordinary people found it difficult to adapt to life after the disaster and couldn't stand the loneliness. He obviously didn't consider this. When we found him, he was on the streets of the city, facing a group of zombies. So he went back with us. He had a lot of reserves, which made our time much easier."

Zhang sighed, "This map also shows one of his storage points. It contains his pre-disaster reserves, compressed dry food, canned food, and many supplies that can be preserved for a very long time. If you pass by, maybe it can help you go a little further."

"Are you here just to find it?" Bai Xiao picked up the paper plane.

"No, it's too far, it's meaningless." Zhang sighed, "Storage is actually not very useful for long-term survival. What is really useful is the ability to collect, produce and store materials, which can only make people's lives a little better. But for people who travel long distances, it is very useful. I can't walk that far."

"I am skeptical about this location." Bai Xiao said without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter. I was just trying it out, but after I got on the road, I realized that I couldn't walk that far. You can also throw it into the fire. It's another matter whether it passes by the road or not. If it doesn't pass by, it's useless."

"You shouldn't be helping me."

"So you have a prejudice against me, just because you heard people say that Chenjiabao is a place of revelers. You think we are evil and crazy and extreme, right?" Zhang Tan smiled.

"Is not it?"

"It's all the same, the ending is already there, no matter what you do, or what I do, it won't change the slightest."

"How far do you want to go? Or where is your destination?" Bai Xiao asked.

"I met a kid from Sichuan while scavenging two years ago. He said the monkeys in his hometown couldn't be stopped. The infection was like a catalyst for them. I don't know what happened. I want to take a look at what it looks like now." Zhang sighed, "I've wanted to go there for a long time, but I never had a good opportunity."

"You can't go."

"Yeah, unfortunately, I can't go anymore. The zombies were too dangerous before, and now I'm old." Zhang sighed and looked to the east. "If I can survive, I would like to visit the most prosperous place before the disaster."

"That's even more impossible. It's too far away." Bai Xiao shrugged.

"What else should I do? Build a beautiful new home?" He smiled, and his weather-beaten face was covered with a layer of warmth in the firelight. He took out a piece of meat from his pocket. Bai Xiao discovered that he had taken it from an animal that had turned into a zombie at some point in time.

"As long as you don't die from eating anything, you can eat it. This is the rule after a disaster - oh, it was also the rule before a disaster, but before the disaster it was passive, and now it is active. To be honest, it's better now. Do you want a piece?" Zhang Tan smiled inexplicably.

"No."

"That's good. Young people are clean. They should eat less bad things."

"If you think it's too early, why not talk about zombie movies? I'm more interested in that." Bai Xiao said. "Didn't I say it? A medicine." Zhang Tan said lightly.

"Cure cancer?"

"It was first used for cancer, and it worked well. But then people found out it was also effective for those dirty diseases, like syphilis, gonorrhea... so that kind of medicine became widely known."

"So, cancer and heart disease that are cured by this method will turn into zombies?"

"No, this is the most amazing thing. Cancer was cured. Only after the heart disease was cured, it might have been re-infected, or it might have been due to other reasons... Then, zombies appeared."

“How could such a big defect be put on the market?”

"Yeah, how could it be?"

There seemed to be a strange smile in Zhang Tan's turbid eyes, and he stopped.

Suddenly he turned around and looked outside.

Bai Xiao also turned his head and looked outside the service area.

In the darkness, something was flying and circling in the night sky, with fluttering sounds mixed with hoarse cries.

Zhang Tan reacted quickly, covering the fire with his thick clothes and throwing himself on it to put out the fire.

Fortunately, they were just some dead branches and leaves, not firewood, so I hurriedly poured water on them and prevented them from catching fire again.

Almost at the same time, the fire in front of Bai Xiao also lost its light.

The two men put on helmets and hid in the corner.

The service area suddenly fell into darkness and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

There was only movement coming from the night sky outside.

I don't know how long it took, the sound faded away, Bai Xiao turned his head and looked out the window at the night sky, which was twinkling with stars, as if nothing had ever happened and nothing had ever approached.

"It looks like we can't go far." Zhang Tan said in the darkness.

"What is that?" Bai Xiao asked.

"I guess it's a crow."

Crows represent bad luck.

Zhang Tan walked to the empty window and looked at the shadows outside the service area. The night was no longer cold, and it was silent under the empty night sky.

The stars in the night sky are like eyes, watching over this earth. They have existed for countless years, but the history of human civilization is only six or seven thousand years old. The earliest human fossils are from three million years ago, and the extinction of dinosaurs was 60 million years ago.

In the face of the long time, all life will come to an end one day.

And this day for mankind has arrived.

"Look."

Zhang Tan pointed outside, at the group of dark shadows passing through the moonlight, "They are ringing the death knell for mankind."

It will be a grand destruction.
