This is apocalyptic

Chapter 89: Gift from Zombies (Thanks to Mrunkor’s leader)
It was difficult to survive this month. Bai Xiao didn’t know how Zhou Xu did it. Maybe he did have some skills.

Eating infected animals is something you have to accept, and people in the safe zone are probably not that fierce.

Zhou Xu also found it hard to understand. His supplies were almost used up before he even went deep into the ruins. The journey was not so peaceful. He had to either walk quickly to shake off the wandering zombies or deal with the zombies that slowed his steps. It was difficult to conserve his energy and walk slowly.

Not to mention the stray animals that occasionally pop up from the roadside bushes or abandoned villages.

In this month, he still hasn't gotten too deep into the cave. The road is too long. He can't imagine how the young man got out. The piece of paper given by Bai Xiao that marked the existence of survivors spanned several cities.

This was almost impossible to do. Zhou Xu remembered the young man's firm tone: "You will die on the road."

When the survivors in the ruins moved to the safe zone, many people died. Now that the danger of zombies has decreased, it shouldn't be that difficult.

But after a month, he found that even with three times the supplies, it was still not easy.

Watching Zhou Xu and the couple go away, Bai Xiao withdrew his gaze. He wondered if they could return to the safe zone alive. The journey was still long and he had gone too deep.

If we don't eat infected animals, we probably won't be able to survive.

It is not easy to clear the ruins, otherwise they would not have remained ruins for so many years. If the shelter had survived when the zombie outbreak first occurred and if Linchuan also had a safe zone, the road between the two places might have been cleared.

It is now twenty years after the end of the world.

Walking in the opposite direction of Zhou Xu again, Bai Xiao found that he was not very familiar with the road now.

However, with supplies and dry food, the zombie used a dog-leg knife to cut a very straight piece of wood, leaned on the ground, and moved towards home step by step.

Occasionally he would take out a map to look at it, and if he encountered any dangerous places on his way here, he would deliberately avoid them on his way back.

For example, in a small town ahead, there is a group of wild dogs living in a group. It might have been a breeding place before the disaster. They survived by eating zombies and used the place as a nest.

When he came, he disturbed the group of skinny predators and escaped by running to the rooftop. They were guarding downstairs and the confrontation lasted for a long time. He had no choice but to learn an extreme sport and jumped from the rooftop to another building. It took a lot of effort for him to escape far away.

The world became very strange, and Bai Xiao gradually got used to it and started taking detours from a long distance away.

This was a completely dead town. The dogs might migrate away if they couldn't find food, but he didn't take the chance and stayed away from them.

The Zombie King is not omnipotent.

Ever since he saw the group of predators, he would rather rest in the wild than enter some villages and towns. No one knows what is hiding in there.

There may be people living in the cleaner villages. It is not safe because of the inhabitants, but because of the safety, there are survivors.

Even with the sharp dog-leg knife, Bai Xiao didn't want to challenge them. There was a river far ahead. The water was fast and it was not easy to catch fish, but it could replenish the water source.

It is unknown when the animals in the water were infected, or perhaps they have already been infected. That is another strange world, and it is difficult to see from the shore. Anyway, he no longer bathes in the river. At most, he would scoop up some water for a simple wash.

Sometimes Bai Xiao would wonder what the sea looks like now.

There would also be zombies near the sea, and those zombies would also be swallowed by the rising tide. He could almost imagine that when the disaster first broke out, there would be densely packed zombies floating on the coast, some of which could still move, wriggling in the waves like maggots in rotten food.

Through his observations over the past few days, he found that infection is somewhat related to body size. The larger the body size, the longer it can struggle after being bitten. If a shark eats a zombie, he wonders if it will turn into a deep-sea shark and then crazily attack other marine life.

The already dangerous sea seemed even more dangerous.

Sometimes Bai Xiao would feel that the doomsday theorists were right, and that the end of the world would eventually come to this peaceful land.

That time is approaching.

The real disaster is silent and gradually changes the world.

It will not erupt suddenly, but will slowly erode everything in silence.

Bai Xiao filled the kettle with water by the river, ate a piece of compressed biscuit, and rested against a tree while holding the harpoon.

This harpoon is very sturdy and is the best gift he has ever received. It can not only harpoon fish, but also people and animals.

A few days later, when he was approaching a city, he deliberately walked into it and wandered around like he usually did when scavenging. The difference was that in the past, when he was scavenging in Linchuan City, he would pick up useful things in residential buildings and high-end residential areas, but now he would pick up useful things in shopping malls.

The mall had been cleaned up before the disaster, and it was in a mess, with shelves scattered all over the place and covered with a thick layer of dust. There were zombies trapped on the escalators and old zombies locked in the storage room.

At that time, people only swept up food and daily necessities, and ignored everything else. Most of the later scavengers did the same. Bai Xiao approached the toy area. The things here had no use and were scattered everywhere. The things that were valuable before the disaster have now become tatters.

Bai Xiao searched for a while and finally found Ultraman. He remembered that Yu Ming was missing Noah and some others. These Ultraman were very old and difficult to recognize. Bai Xiao wiped the dust off it and suddenly found it a little funny.

Help a man in his forties to find Ultraman Noa.

This feeling was wonderful. He could imagine that Yu Ming would be very happy, even happier than playing a game of chess. After all, it was an exciting thing to complete the missing figures.

Before the disaster, this was usually a gift for children.

Bai Xiao stuffed Ultraman Noa into his bag. Fortunately, he had eaten some of the compressed biscuits in the bag, otherwise it would not have fit any more. He patted the bag and took out the map. When he saw Yu Ming, it meant that he was not far from Linchuan.

Give a harpoon, get a Noah in return.

Thinking of Yu Ming's huge collection, he felt a little envious, but it was a pity that Lin Duoduo didn't have that kind of hobby.

After walking out of the mall, the weather was a bit gloomy. There were three zombies following behind Bai Xiao, but he didn't care. He just looked back at them and left with his bag.

The old zombies could not keep up with the pace of the zombie king. After coming out of the mall, they lost their target after walking for a while and then wandered aimlessly on the street until the rain fell. The crackling sound of the rain made them a little anxious, and they let out low and hoarse roars.

Bai Xiao put on a raincoat, the same one he brought when he went out. It was very sturdy and very useful.

The heavy rain fell down, and his back disappeared in the rain.
