This is apocalyptic

Chapter 159: Last Winter

They were in the car and the zombies were outside.

The vehicle that was originally relied on for survival has now become a cage, and the bulletproof shell has become the opponent's protection. It can hide under the vehicle or entrench itself on the vehicle.

After the driver said that, the captain put the gun to his head and pointed left and right.

He made a mistake in command. If the four of them got out of the car together, rushed outside and shot at the monster, they still had a chance to win - maybe.

The rear door of the car was open, but it still didn't rush in - this was not the monsters that they encountered when entering the ruins. It was scary, but it also showed that it was still afraid of guns.

There is still a chance.

It said that the rescue was a disguise and its cooperation was a disguise. When it found out the group's background, it showed its fangs.

Now is the time to rely on your luck. As long as you get to an open area outside, you still have a chance to win.

"It's time to gamble your life."

Seeing that the driver understood what he meant, the captain moved the muzzle of the gun back to the rear door and counted down with three fingers. When the last finger fell, the doors on both sides opened at the same time.

Now it's time to try your luck and see who will be unlucky enough to be pounced on by it.

Two figures jumped out of the car, and at the same time, gunshots were heard, sweeping in the direction of the car.

They only saw a dark shadow on the roof of the car crawling into the rear compartment where the cage was placed.

Then he saw in horror that a cluster of blood burst out from the head of the driver on the left who was shooting with a gun! He lay on the ground without a sound.

He understood that this iron shell was a cage they had prepared for themselves. From the moment they got on the bus and locked themselves in the iron shell, they had no chance of winning.

"Only four people?"

Hearing the voices, he wanted to raise his hand, but found that he had no strength in the hand holding the gun, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground at some point.

The oppressive figure has come over.

"From where?"

"Don't you know?"

"Are you here to reclaim the ruins? Or are you coming specifically for me?"

"Task."

"Mission? When did you set out?" Bai Xiao was basically certain that he had overlooked something on the road, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find the reason.

"Last winter."

"Is it difficult to enter the ruins?"

"..."

He gritted his teeth. The more dangerous the ruins were and the more people died on the road, the more certain they were that there was something in the ruins.

Sure enough, they shouldn't be careless.

"What is the mission goal?"

"Find a zombie that is... a human."

"It's coming for me." Bai Xiao frowned.

"It's not you, it's the other one."

"Well, there's another one?" He was stunned. His previous speculation was overturned by this sentence. Zombies like him - more than one?
Are you the one who got caught in the crossfire?

Are there other zombies who have also retained their sanity? And have been detected by the safe zone? More likely... he is also in Linchuan?

This was an unexpected answer, which surprised Bai Xiao for a moment. Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, the other party felt a chill in his heart.

Zombies are not scary because they have no reason.

But this thing can think and can keep humans in captivity... If there are enough of these things, the ruins will become a kingdom of monsters.

If it weren't for the various monsters chained up in the village, he would have thought that the small mountain village was a peaceful place where survivors lived.

He remembered what some mysterious people in the safe zone said, that this was a "land forsaken by God".

Chaotic thoughts surged, overshadowing the fear of death. Looking at the monster in front of him, he couldn't help but think more - the higher-ups insisted on going into the ruins to search, did they already know something? They were just hiding the news - just like a long time ago, before the disaster broke out, the news of zombies was also hidden, and everything was just a rumor until the moment the disaster really struck. But all he saw along the way was a skinny survivor, struggling to survive. He had been deep in the ruins for so long, but only saw one until now.

"That woman...she is raising zombies!" he suddenly said. The person who just fired the shot could only be that woman. It could be that the zombies were not raising humans, or it could be that the humans were raising zombies.

"Yes, she fed me." Bai Xiao laughed and looked into the distance. The ruins were huge, not to mention that it was not easy to get in. "It will take a year to search here, right?"

"Linchuan is not big." said the captain. He was silent for a long time and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Huh? Are you going straight to Linchuan?" Bai Xiao asked.

He smiled and said nothing.

After a moment, he said, "You will be caught eventually."

"What is a zombie that is considered a human?" Bai Xiao ignored his declaration and asked. He was now a little interested in another zombie.

If it really exists.

The ruins will revive, the zombies will live together and fight for the throne.

"Because it's not a monster like you," said the captain.

"He's in Linchuan too?"

"The mission we received is in Linchuan."

"..."

Bai Xiao suddenly had a guess.

"Are you here following the wildfire? I'm wondering why there are only four of you..."

"I will not be kept in captivity by zombies."

The captain laughed, and then saw it suddenly go back into the carriage. He widened his eyes and stretched out his hand unwillingly, but the explosion engulfed his figure.

Bai Xiao came out of the car with a gloomy face, took a look at the tattered corpse, went into the car, the call indicator on the car was on, he reached out and crushed it, then searched inside the car.

A piece of paper fell out of the bag. On it was a portrait of a skinny young man wearing sunglasses. This was exactly what he looked like before. He squinted his eyes and thought of a person - Zhou Xu.

This was how he looked when he met Zhou Xu. It was a bumpy journey, and after walking out of the ruins, he met the man who claimed to be his rescuer.

After a careful search, there is only this picture:

Damn, it's still me after all? It's just that the guy didn't recognize me and thought there was another zombie who looked more like a human.

They were looking for their past selves and spent a year searching, then unexpectedly found their present selves because of a wildfire.

If he went to the city to scavenge now, he might encounter a large army. He was glad that since the spring, the two of them had obtained enough supplies and had not gone there again - in other words, they were so close to each other and lived in peace for a while.

If it weren't for this wildfire, it might have taken several months or even half a year to turn the place over completely.

But it will be found eventually. Now it is a necessity in the midst of chance.

They had begun to advance as early as last winter, when he was planting his vegetable patch and hunting.

Bai Xiao stared at the picture and became even more confused.

Just because someone came out of the ruins after twenty years, so they came?
Unlikely.

Bai Xiao pondered, thinking that there must be something that was overlooked. Zhou Xu might be one of the reasons, but he would not be the main reason.

Departed last winter...

For a year, they broke into the ruins.

Although the ruins were large, Linchuan was not big. It would take nearly a year to search Linchuan. It seemed like a difficult journey, but they still found it.

It looked like they were conducting a massive search.

A figure was running towards them from a distance. Bai Xiao searched the car and looted everything. When he was about to leave, he came back and took great pains to remove a car door.

This is a bulletproof car door and it looks very sturdy.
