All-out Horror Survival: My Awakening Skill Point Allocation Sequence!
Chapter 8 Human Cities
After being rejected, Zhang Qing took out a plastic bottle from her bosom, which appeared to be a simple hand-rubbed filter, and began to filter the liquid in her hand.
Zheng Sheng watched from the side. He thought she was drinking it directly, but it turned out she had filtered it. This woman was quite particular.
After filtration, the color became much lighter, and the smell was no longer pungent. It looked pretty good.
"Is this the filter you made?"
"Yeah, I made it with sand, charcoal, and cotton cloth, and it works pretty well."
"How about you take a bite first?"
Zhang Qin carefully handed over the filtered bottle, not minding at all.
Zheng Sheng quickly waved his hand.
He is not in dire straits yet, so we will not consider him for the time being.
"Go ahead and drink it. Just tell me how to make the filter later."
Seeing Zheng Sheng's interest in the simple filter, Zhang Qing was delighted and quickly explained the principle to him, even making one for him on the spot.
After this little incident, Zhang Qing intentionally or unintentionally followed closely behind Zheng Sheng, but kept a certain distance.
Soon, the group continued its journey.
……
[Ding! You have survived for one day and gained 100 survival points.]
[Current survival points remaining: 1900.]
……
……
"Human cities are human cities!"
"I saw it too, it's buildings, it really is a human city!"
The survival team walked for another day on that damned highway when suddenly, the lifeless crowd became noisy.
Zheng Sheng looked towards the end of the road and saw a dimly lit cluster of human buildings at the end of the winding road.
From a distance, the city appears small, with the tallest buildings being only a dozen stories high, and the rest being low-rise buildings that look very dilapidated.
It should just be a small county town.
Normally, the roadsides in this world are covered by thick white fog, but the fog around this county town has clearly dissipated a lot, as if a city has suddenly and strangely sprung up in the fog.
At the end of the winding road... a human city looms in and out of the thick fog... the city is completely dark, devoid of any lights...
Extremely bizarre!
Zheng Sheng frowned. This city looked extremely dangerous no matter how you looked at it!
The procession continued forward, and the white fog on both sides of the road began to thin out, making it possible to see the scenery on both sides.
The city was dilapidated, the rice paddies were deserted, and the sounds of frogs and insects could be heard in the distance, but no large living creatures could be seen.
Moreover, green belts have begun to appear on both sides of the road, and some plants are growing exceptionally lushly, with branches and leaves extending directly onto the road, making it completely different from the previous road.
Many people were starving, and seeing the leaves on the trees by the roadside, some grabbed the bark and leaves, and started eating them in large bites.
At the forefront of the group, Chen Kun and his two companions spotted the city in the distance and stopped.
"It's a human city! Everyone stay put and rest for a day. We'll go into the city again tomorrow to collect supplies."
"Also, no one is allowed to leave the highway right now!"
Chen Kun spoke in a serious tone, warning everyone, and quickly explained the reason.
In this bizarre post-apocalyptic world, strange creatures and demons are everywhere, and the denser the fog, the more strange creatures and demons there are.
These monsters feed on humans, so they are extremely sensitive to the smell of humans and can detect human presence from tens of kilometers away.
The Survival Highway is a safe zone because it isolates people from human presence.
Therefore, to collect supplies, you must follow the survival road into the central area of the county, then locate the nearest supermarket and market, and then leave the survival road to collect supplies.
Because as soon as you leave the area of the survival road, the nearby eerie creatures will smell your presence and come after you.
They must gather enough supplies before the eerie and demonic creatures are discovered, and then immediately escape back to the survival road.
What lies before us is merely a human settlement at the county level; the number of strange beings should be relatively small.
Therefore, the optimal time to collect supplies is at most 1-2 hours, and sometimes it may be even less.
"Therefore, we must not expose ourselves outside the survival road before entering the city, so as not to alert the strange things around the city in advance."
"Leaving the survival road now will only attract the monsters prematurely, and we will miss the best time to collect supplies. If we try to collect supplies then, it will be a matter of life and death."
"Therefore, we absolutely must not leave the highway area until we have confirmed the city's supply inventory!"
Upon hearing Chen Kun's warning, everyone nodded seriously.
Having witnessed the strange incident on the roadside before, the people in the group became much more obedient. Even though they were extremely hungry, no one dared to disobey Chen Kun's orders.
However, Zheng Sheng noticed...
The three leaders, Chen Kun and his companions, seemed oblivious to the joy of discovering the human city. Instead, they stared intently at the dark city in the distance.
Deep in their eyes, there seemed to be a kind of suppressed fear.
However, the situation of the survivor team is completely different.
Upon discovering the city, the previously lifeless crowd suddenly came alive, as if given a stimulant, their eyes brimming with excitement.
Cities represent food and water.
Many people were starving to the point of exhaustion, and the emergence of cities was like a fire in the darkness, igniting their hope for survival.
In the group, Luo Hao, the fat guy among the three seasoned investors, suddenly got busy. He set up a large pot on the road and kept adding various ingredients into it.
Rice, water, leaves, roadside weeds, tree bark, leather belts, some kind of dark red, eerie chunks of meat... and all sorts of other random things.
A moment later, a large pot of dark, fragrant porridge appeared in the middle of the road, wafting an enticing aroma.
Moreover, the black porridge in the pot seemed to possess some kind of magic, making everyone who smelled it constantly drool.
Zheng Sheng also subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The pot was filled with a dark, murky liquid, resembling overcooked pig feed. It looked disgusting, but for some reason, it smelled incredibly delicious, even tempting him to take a bite.
Soon, a crowd gathered in front of the large pot. Chen Kun stood in front of the pot, blocking everyone's greedy gazes.
He glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.
"...This is within the boundaries of a human city, and the fog is thinner than around here. We can rest for a short time...and recover our strength..."
"Tomorrow we'll be entering the city to find supplies, and we must gather enough to last until we reach the next city... because none of us know how long it will take to get to the next one..."
"Food, water, transportation, daily necessities, etc... the more you collect, the better..."
"But given most of you in your current state, you probably couldn't even lift a bag of rice..."
Chen Kun stood in front of the large pot, pointed to it behind him, and continued speaking.
"And here I have extraordinary food!"
"It can help you quickly recover your strength and get back to normal..."
Extraordinary food?
Zheng Sheng stared at the strange, black, bubbling food in the large pot, filled with suspicion.
