This is apocalyptic

Chapter 80 079: The Ruins (Thanks to the leader Yang Yang Yang yyy)
Drive forward along the highway.

Bai Xiao, who was leaning on a stick, looked dusty and his body was full of the smell of a long journey.

You can only feel how vast this land is when you walk on it.

He didn't know what was holding him up.

Perhaps he should have died from the day he was bitten by the zombie, but that human saved him. Lin Duoduo was like the plants that grew wildly in the fields after a disaster, with a stubbornness and exuberance.

The vigorous vitality infected him. The endless overtime and busyness, the exhaustion, were completely different from the feeling he had in the mountain village.

People who are desperately trying to live should not wait to die in that small corner of the mountain village.

People have to survive, no matter how the environment changes. Just like our ancient ancestors fought against nature, all we can do is try to survive.

Bai Xiao changed the stick in his hand and looked at the map from time to time. Some sections of the highway had been destroyed and the road was not easy to travel on.

Sometimes there are no villages to be seen on the desolate roads between cities. Occasionally, there will be zombies accompanying you for a while. They are all zombies that were infected after the disaster. Except for the original zombies trapped in the cities, those in the wild have already fallen in the dust.

The clouds in the sky were burning red.

Accidentally coming across a river, Bai Xiao also learned how to spear fish with a harpoon. While filling the iron box with water, he looked at his reflection in the water.

He has an untidy beard and looks like those people who survive in the wilderness.

Wandering on this land.

He didn't know what time it was, but he could feel the weather getting hotter and hotter. He picked up some dead branches, boiled water in an iron box and poured it into the kettle. Then he cut the fish he had forked into pieces and threw it in to cook.

The box is too small, so this is the only way. Bai Xiao tried to grill the fish, but it was burnt.

It's nice to stay cool under the shade of the trees by the river, and occasionally food like snakes will come to your door.

After the disaster for humanity, it is spring for animals and plants.

A column of smoke rose in the distance. Bai Xiao just looked at it and didn't feel anything special.

The leather boots on his feet were badly worn, and he hadn't changed them yet. It wasn't difficult to change shoes, as they could be found everywhere in the ruins. However, he had changed his clothes several times.

Zombies are meant to wander, and being a wanderer is very consistent with their identity.

But every time he met a survivor, Bai Xiao had to put on sunglasses and disguise himself as a human, a human who had traveled a long distance and was still alive.

Bai Xiao was thankful that the time he spent with Lin Duoduo had prepared him for loneliness. Otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed by the endless loneliness if he had wandered alone for days.

Even if the world ends, as a zombie, he might still be able to live for many years, just like he is now, wandering in the ruins with other zombies.

"hiss……"

After eating and drinking, Bai Xiao soaked his feet in the river water and took a breath of cool air. The instant coolness was followed by comfort.

He hadn't taken a shower for many days, so now was the time to clean himself up a little. He took off his clothes and sunglasses, revealing his red eyes and the corpse spots on his arms.

The long-awaited cleaning always makes people feel happy. He remembered taking a shower in that small courtyard with the pole pressing down on the well.

You have to pour a bucket of water from that well before using it.

If he goes back and uses it again one day, he will have learned how to do it. He will no longer press the water hard and wonder if the well is broken.

After a long time.

All that was left by the river were wet footprints, a pool of ashes and fish bones.

The Zombie King set out again with a stick, looking for the hope that people of the previous era had lost.

If the hydroelectric power station was also in ruins, he could return to that small mountain village with peace of mind and spend the rest of his life there.

Becoming a zombie might be a curse, a curse inflicted on a life that shouldn't exist in this world, destined to be alone and watch the world at its most devastated.

There is also a map left by a survivalist in his hand, which was handed to this "young man" who went against the trend by a "reveler".

After crossing the province, we were getting closer and closer to the survivalist's storage place.

It has been a long time since I have seen a living person. Bai Xiao is very surprised. There are many people living alone in Linchuan, scattered everywhere. Occasionally, you can see scavengers on the road, but as you leave, there are fewer and fewer people. There is not even a place like a settlement.

When he was wondering whether the situation outside was more serious than that in Linchuan, he finally met a living person on the road.

A middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face.

The man walked slowly in the sunset, also covered in dust, getting closer and closer from the end of the abandoned and old road.

He had a large water bottle on his waist, wore a light but exquisite protective helmet, and had a gun on his waist. He walked alone on the road, facing each other.

As they got closer, Bai Xiao looked at him, and he also looked at Bai Xiao.

"Where are you coming from?" the man asked, looking in the direction Bai Xiao came from.

"Yes, there are only ruins over there. Where are you going?" Bai Xiao stopped.

"To the ruins," he said.

"There's nothing there, just a few survivors and some revelers." Bai Xiao shook his head and looked behind the man, where he was about to go. "Where are you from?"

"I'm from the safe zone."

"Ok?"

Bai Xiao was stunned, as if he had just been infected. His mind was slow for a few seconds before he reacted. He looked at the man in front of him, then looked behind him. He was silent for a long time before asking, "Safe zone? Shelter?"

"It doesn't matter what the name is."

"Where's the rescue?" Bai Xiao took another look behind him and confirmed that he was alone, just one person, a man with a weathered face.

"Help is on the way," the man said.

Bai Xiao looked at him without saying anything.

"How did you get here? Were you a pioneer? Were you alone? Or... were there many people traveling together at the beginning? Are there many people with you? Where are you from?" the man asked.

"Where is your car?" Bai Xiao asked instead of answering.

“The road conditions here are impassable.”

"Where is the safe zone?" Bai Xiao continued to ask.

The man looked at the tattered clothes on his body and the wooden stick in his hand. He was silent for a long time and said, "It's very far away."

"Then what are you here for?"

“I am part of the rescue, too.”

"I don't believe it." Bai Xiao smiled, "You will die on the road, in the ruins - if there is a rescue, you should drive a convoy with supplies, clear the obstacles, and enter the ruins."

The man was silent for a long time and then said, "If you can walk out, I can walk in."

"You will die on the road." Bai Xiao continued to shake his head.

"Are you a survivor from that land?" the man asked.

"Yes." Bai Xiao said.

"The only people left there long ago were revelers and a few scattered survivors. They didn't trust anyone. How did you get out?"

"Where's the rescue?" Bai Xiao did not answer, but asked back.

"...There is no rescue at the moment, only me," he said.

"You mean, you came from the safe zone, there was no rescue, no supplies, and you were alone. You went to the ruins and died in the ruins." Bai Xiao leaned on his stick and looked up at the setting sun in the distance.

"I finally met a living person, how come he is still a fool?"
