This is apocalyptic

Chapter 167 166: The sliding cover is easy to break
"What you are facing now is the big muscular zombie king." Bai Xiao remembered the time when he was chased and had to flee in panic. He swung the thick car door again and knocked away the wild dog in front of him.

"I can't always be bullied by you guys, can I?"

It's a pity that they didn't understand. Their hungry bodies drove them to look for food everywhere, and they pounced on the prey and bit it ferociously.

So the zombies used the car door as a shield and banged on it. He stepped on the last one and then exerted more force, crushing its neck with a snap.

He is a more superior predator. In this ruin and on this land, all the monsters wandering in the wild fields are his prey.

And there are prey for zombie knights.

"You can come out now."

He said something, and then the zombie knight Lin Duoduo opened the coffin and stood up, looking at the group of predators.

"Can I eat it?" she asked.

"I can, you eat your dry food first." Bai Xiao squatted on the ground and used a dog-leg knife to cut open their backs, peeling off the meat near the inside of the spine and peeling it into strips as thick as fingers.

"I learned this from that reveler I told you about before, that's all."

They did not turn into zombies after being infected, but hunger changed their state, which is very complicated. If they continue to eat zombies to survive, no one knows what they will become.

The weeds were blown by the wind, and the corners of Bai Xiao's clothes were lifted by the autumn wind. He stood up and looked at the old zombie that was torn into pieces. He put away the iron box, picked up his bag again, and left here with the zombie knight, leaving the dry bones and corpses behind.

The setting sun made everything blood red.

The new ferocious hunters have walked out of the small mountain village and are wandering towards the distant fields.

The zombie knight sat on the neck of a tall zombie, humming a song in the evening breeze. The overlapping shadows of the two stretched long across the field.

They have to go to the next city before winter comes and spend the cold winter.

The weather is getting colder.

He gradually got used to the days of wandering outside. There was no shelter at night and he could see the sky just by looking up. It was okay for him to be a zombie. Lin Duoduo could only rely on him to maintain her body temperature so as not to lose too much temperature in the cold nights of late autumn.

They could sleep better when they came across an uninhabited village. If they were in the wild, he would lie on the car door, and Lin Duoduo would lie on him, wrapped in several layers of coats, and they would make do for the night.

Linchuan was getting farther and farther away. As we crossed the wilderness in between, we saw more and more villages. The countryside surrounded the city, which meant that another city was approaching.

Bai Xiao didn't know whether he was being too cautious and there was actually no large-scale search in the safe zone, or whether it was more difficult for those people to drive in the ruins than expected.

Or maybe we were lucky enough to avoid their search direction and no other vehicles were seen along the way.

There were only scrapped rusty iron shells on the roadside left over from before the disaster.

This is good news.

After clearing out a few monsters again, Lin Duoduo took out a telescope and looked into the distance. "There are people in that village. We need to avoid it."

She saw smoke rising from the ruins.

"Maybe I can help them." Bai Xiao wiped the knife clean. These monsters were wandering towards the direction of the smoke.

The villages are becoming more and more densely populated.

He found that there were more survivors here than in Linchuan. Not a lot, but at least he could occasionally see a living person. It was not like when they went to the city to scavenge, where it was dead silent all the way.

Bai Xiao looked up at Lin Duoduo with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Duoduo was unaware of anything, she only knew that he raised his head.

"I suspect that the survivors in Linchuan are not dead, but ran away a few years ago." said the Zombie King.

"Ok?"

"There are mountains over there. Except for you and Aunt Qian who can't walk and dare not run around outside, everyone else will find a more suitable place to live. Linchuan not only has mountains, but also a forest park in the city. Both the mountain village and the city are very dangerous."

The environment in the ruins has both good and bad aspects, and Linchuan is not a good place.

Lin Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "It's possible."

There are wolves in winter and snakes and poisonous insects in summer.

"So you are stupid."

"You are stupid."

The gentle words dissipated in the wind.

This is just a guess. In any case, that place is definitely more dangerous than other places. Maybe those survivors are really dead.

Bai Xiao thought that Lin Duoduo had seen traces of other scavengers in the city. They were probably people living in another direction. As the environment deteriorated, the mountains and forests became more and more dangerous.

He was still thinking about burning the mountain instead of moving, which must have made this human leader stupid and unwilling to leave home.

A few days later, when the survivors of the village arrived nearby, they saw only the twisted and deformed corpse of the monster left on the ground. Its bones seemed to have been shattered by something. They had never seen such injuries before, and it was shocking and puzzling. They didn't know how it was caused. Looking at the empty surroundings, they couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly and shivered.

The unknown is always a source of fear.

And the superior predator that caused all this has gone far away.

Some villages and towns have been completely occupied by the surrounding trees and grass. Small trees and weeds growing from various cracks and even inside the houses have destroyed all traces of human beings. Among the ruins, there are dead old zombies on the ground, with the grass and trees taking root in their bodies, leaving only some dry bones.

The highway toll station on the road is still there, in a dilapidated state.

Clear out the monsters and zombies that originally occupied this place and take a short rest here.

Bai Xiao wrapped his coat tightly and took out a map to study.

"I always feel that you are lost and going in the wrong direction." Lin Duoduo was also looking at the map.

"Impossible." Bai Xiao thought this was a joke. How could he take the wrong road?
"Then why are there fewer villages?" Lin Duoduo asked.

“Maybe it’s a little off.”

“But you are still lost.”

Lin Duoduo turned aside and felt around.

"Be careful of bugs biting your butt." Bai Xiao said without looking up.

"What should I do?"

"Can I help you pee?"

Lin Duoduo picked up a dead branch, knocked on his iron helmet, and glared at him.

"Be careful."

Bai Xiao put away the map, stood up and looked into the distance. The sky had fallen into darkness.

If it were more than 20 years ago, there would be cars on the road, the toll booths would be brightly lit, and the street lights would be bright. Now there is only pitch darkness, and you can't see your hand in front of you.

Even though it is dilapidated, it still provides a temporary shelter for travelers after a disaster.

At this time of day ordinarily, Lin Duoduo would be picking vegetables in the garden, or finding some wild vegetables to dry into dried vegetables, but now she had to wander outside with the zombies.

Wrapping his clothes tightly, Bai Xiao counted the remaining things, then went to find some dead branches nearby. When it was completely dark, he lit a fire in the corner, put the coffin aside, ready to stuff Lin Duoduo in it at any time, and placed an iron box on the fire. He sprinkled some salt into it, and hot broth came out.

Lin Duoduo put her hands in her coat pockets, sat in the coffin, her body sunk into it, her legs hanging outside, and stared at the leaping flames.

“We can actually save a little bit.”

"Oh? Do you mean eat the skin of your feet?" asked the Zombie King.

"I mean I'll eat less."

Lin Duoduo glanced at him expressionlessly. Zombies have so many problems.

We are all flesh and blood, so how can we distinguish between high and low?
She didn't understand why chests attracted zombies but feet were disliked.

Picky eaters.

She used a branch to poke the fire to make it burn more vigorously. There was a sizzling sound in the iron box and the smell of broth spread out.

Ruins are the place that is truly suitable for the Zombie King to live.

He is the top hunter roaming this place.

"Next time, make me a new box, a bigger one, so you can lie down in it and sleep." Bai Xiao said, looking at the box.

"That's the real coffin." Lin Duoduo glanced at the box under her.

The 1.4-meter length was not enough for her to lie down, so she could only squat inside.

"You can carry her sideways." Bai Xiao took the broth and poured some for her. It would soak the little dry food left and warm her body.

"Double doors?"

"If you like sliding doors, that's fine too." The zombie said, "But sliding doors require a more complicated structure. The more complicated it is, the easier it is to damage. I still think double doors are better."

"Oh." Lin Duoduo had no expression on her face.

"Do you miss your hometown?" Bai Xiao looked in the direction the two people came from. It was a pitch-black night over there.

Just now he saw on the map the place where he once lived - in his memory, the prosperous and dazzling city before the disaster.

He had been busy there as an ordinary person.

"I have no hometown." She smiled indifferently.

“Everyone has a hometown.”

"Really? I don't think so. That's... where I grew up, but I didn't like it there."

"So where do you like?"

“I like this coffin.”

She patted the box beneath her. "With this, I can go anywhere."

Leaving the cage that had trapped her for more than 20 years, that small mountain village.

Just like the zombie king who left alone to find a way to survive, this time no one left anyone behind.

Lin Duoduo also followed his gaze and looked towards the place where she used to live, where her parents were buried.

But her parents would be happy that she could get out of there, walk on the road, and see the outside world before the end of the world.

Whether riding on a zombie or being carried on the back of a zombie.

Walking down a path that gets worse and worse with this zombie.

"Wrong, I'll take you anywhere."

"Okay, you take me anywhere."

Including deep in the city.

It's not far away.
