Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1564 Night Arrives
Provincial Road S518.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the sky of the end of the world was dyed with a thick layer of red.

On the dilapidated provincial road, a lone off-road vehicle was driving slowly, and the rumbling sound of the engine formed a sharp contrast with the dead silent world.

The wheels rolled over the ground, raising a cloud of dust, as if leaving a mark on the ruins.

Inside the car, Zheng Shiwu's eyes were firm and calm, his hands were on the steering wheel, and his fingertips were slightly white.

He looked through the windshield at the endless expanse ahead. Abandoned vehicles piled up like silent tombstones on the roadside.

On this road, there were no footsteps of pedestrians, no roars of zombies, only the wind that blew into the car through the broken windows, bringing a hint of coldness.

Drop drop-

Drop drop-

The alarm on the watch rang, followed by a cough from the passenger seat.

"Hoo - Lao Zheng, where are we now?"

He skillfully took off the black cloth on his face, turned off the alarm on his watch, rubbed his eyes and looked around.

"Shaanxi Province, Xishi, there is a sign just now indicating that the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang should be ahead."

Hei Shou rubbed his face, yawned again, and said:

"It's getting late. We have to find a safe place to set up camp. I don't want to sleep in the car like I did last night. One of the tires was crushed by zombies. If I hadn't brought three spare tires from the trade fair, we would have been doomed!"

"It's not safe to sleep in the car."

Zheng Shiwu said, "Let's go to the front. It should be safer inside the museum and more confidential."

"Okay." Blackhand said with a smile:

"I haven't been to the Terracotta Warriors yet. Let's go take a look before we leave tomorrow."

Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and asked, "Do you think we are here for a picnic?"

"No."

Black Hand quickly explained: "We won't waste time, it won't take much time to just take a look.

Besides, we didn’t stop on the road for the past two days. We drove eight or nine hours a day, and the road conditions were bad. Our butt was almost broken in two from the bumps. It must be very tiring.”

Hearing Black Hand's mumbling, Zheng Shiwu replied helplessly:
"Okay, forget it. I'll go take a look tomorrow morning when I pass by."

"Okay, there seems to be a Huashan Mountain nearby, right?" Heishou suddenly asked while flipping through the electronic map.

"Yes, but don't think about it. We are not here for a picnic. If you want to climb Mount Huashan, you're dreaming!" Zheng Shiwu said with some impatience.

He has been driving for 5 hours straight, from noon till now, and is very tired.

Blackhand shook his head and said:

"No, I think Huashan has a very difficult terrain. It was difficult for humans to climb up before the end of the world. Now that it's the end of the world, it must be difficult for zombies to climb up. I feel there should be survivors there."

After hearing this, Zheng Shiwu thought about it and realized that this was indeed a possibility, but even if there were survivors, there would probably not be many.

The space on top of Mount Hua is limited and cannot accommodate too many people.

Moreover, for the food and drink they need, even if they overcome difficulties and farm, the harvest would not be much.

What’s more, the higher the mountain, the stronger the wind. When a natural disaster strikes, the threat of a storm is quite terrifying.

After the two set out from the trading market, they chatted along the way and gradually became familiar with each other.

The previous cold weapon fight established a foundation of trust, and as time passed, the two men's trust in each other gradually increased.

Their physical strength is better than that of ordinary people. In the past two days, they have been driving from sunrise to five in the evening.

In two days, we arrived at Xishi, Shaanxi Province, from the oil city in Henan Province.

At this speed, they should be able to reach Lan City in Gan Province in one day.
After arriving in Lanzhou, you will reach Jiayu City in two days.

From the Oil City, we traveled two to three thousand kilometers to reach Jiayu City. Despite the complex terrain, it took five days to arrive.

Their speed is extremely fast, and ordinary people cannot withstand such intensity.

Before the end of the world, driving was generally tiring, but riding in a car was not so tiring.

But now in the end times, driving is tiring and riding in a car is tiring too.

The road surface, which has been cracked by the sun for five or six years and has never been repaired, is rugged and bumpy.

After sitting for a long time, my waist and buttocks became numb and I felt like I had been running.

Suddenly, Black Hand saw a sign in front of him.
"Old Zheng, the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum is just ahead. Go straight ahead and turn right. Did you see it on the sign just now?"

"Yes, I saw it." Zheng Shiwu replied indifferently.

Soon, they arrived outside the gate of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum.

In the sunset, they saw mountains rising one after another in the distance behind the museum, with two stone pillars standing on both sides.

The natural disasters in recent years do not seem to have much impact on the museum, and it still stands there firmly.

In the distance stands a tall statue of Qin Shi Huang.

"So majestic!" Black Hand looked at the statue and exclaimed in admiration.

Zheng Shiwu looked around and drove the car to an open ticket station on the side.

There are a lot of their valuables in the car, and the car cannot be lost.

Even though it's getting dark now, it's generally unlikely that any survivors would come out at night.

But to be on the safe side, they tried to hide the car as much as possible.

Zheng Shiwu pulled out the key, then picked up a backpack, opened the trunk and took out food, water, ultraviolet lamp and other things from it.

"Black Hand, contact Oil City right now and tell them that we have arrived in West City."

"Row."

Blackhand moved the radio from the back seat to the front and contacted Oil City.

After Zheng Shiwu took out everything he would need for the night, he also put on his night vision goggles in case of emergency.

"Yes, we have arrived in Xishi."

"I haven't encountered any trouble yet. I'm looking for shelter now."

Two minutes later, Zheng Shiwu was found carrying a package, and there was another package on the ground next to him.

Black Hand ended his contact with Oil City and got out of the car.

boom!
close the door.

"I packed it for you. Your sleeping bag and other things are in it." Zheng Shiwu said, pointing to the package on the ground.

"Thank you." Black Hand nodded.

The two men then walked around the car to check whether the doors were closed. Although the window glass was not bulletproof, there was a layer of wire mesh on the outside, and a layer of welded steel frame outside the wire mesh.

It is obviously impossible to break the glass and get on the bus.

You can only get in if you cut the steel bars with a cutting machine.

However, in the middle of the night, using the cutting machine would make a huge noise and easily attract the surrounding zombies.

After checking that there were no problems, the two men walked out of the ticket office with their packages on their backs and an automatic rifle on their chests.

Zheng Shiwu looked around and pointed to the two sentry-style places on the left and right sides of the museum gate and said, "I think it would be a good idea for us to go there tonight."

"You can also see the situation in the ticket collection hall from there, and it looks pretty solid."

"Let's go and take a look first." Black Hand did not comment.

Ever since the appearance of the wall-climbing zombies, he no longer likes staying in high places at night. Only places like the basement can make him feel safe.

Some weeds grew in the gaps between the bricks on the ground.

The iron bars of the ticket gate had long since rotted away, so the two men climbed over them to get in.

The ground was covered with dust and all kinds of garbage flying in the wind.

The northwest was already windy and dusty, and now that it was getting dark, it felt even more oppressive. "Go up this way." Zheng Shiwu looked around and found a door in the buildings on both sides of the gate.

He waited until Black Hand came over before pushing the door open.

Squeak!

The iron door made a sharp, piercing sound.

As the door was pushed open, there was a row of seats inside, which should be a place for ticket inspectors to rest.

The space inside was long and narrow in shape, with the setting sun shining in from the glass windows, and the ground was covered with dust.

Where the two people walked, a line of footprints was left.

Continue walking forward and you will see stairs, and it will be a little dark inside.

blah blah blah!

Zheng Shiwu turned on the flashlight and shone it, but there was no movement at all.

Keep going up.

Tread-tap-

The sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the corridor.

They remained vigilant, watching the surrounding situation from one end to the other.

After going up two floors in a row, the front suddenly became bright.

A broken glass door appeared before their eyes.

Zheng Shiwu opened the glass door and in front of him was a corridor similar to the ancient city wall walkway.

There are two buildings in the corridor that look like ancient watchtowers.

Zheng Shiwu pushed open the glass door and walked over.

He walked to the bottom of the watchtower and pushed the door, and the door of the watchtower opened.

The area inside is only ten square meters, with a large table. Several screens are placed on the wall behind the table. Behind the table are three armchairs, a camp bed, and an iron cabinet.

There was only one tiny window in the entire watchtower, which was also closed at this moment.

"This should have been the monitoring room before. I think it's a good place. What do you think?" Zheng Shiwu asked the black hand behind him.

Black Hand did not answer him immediately, but stood at the door and repeatedly tested the iron door.

Although this iron door is five or six years old, the lock is still useful.

He carefully checked the welding positions of the iron door and even bumped it twice with his body to test its sturdiness.

"Okay, but I think we should push that iron cabinet over and put it behind the iron door." Black Hand said after checking.

"Row."

"As for this small window, there shouldn't be such a small zombie." Black Hand walked to the only window in the entire room, opened it and said.

The small window is square, only a dozen centimeters long and wide, so zombies should not be able to get in.

Wow!
Zheng Shiwu simply overturned the big table, pushed it to the small window, and used the table top to prop up the window.

"That's not enough."

"Well, let's open it first to let in some fresh air, and then close it when it gets dark. It's too stuffy in here." As he said that, Blackshou opened the door as well.

As soon as they came in, a strong musty and stuffy smell hit their noses, making them feel a little uncomfortable.

Time passed minute by minute, and through this small window they were just able to see their car parked at the ticket office.

The sky gradually darkened.

At 6:45, Black Hand closed the iron door and pushed the iron cabinet behind it.

Zheng Shiwu also closed the window and stared at the black wooden table.

A bed, a camp bed, for two people.

In the end, Zheng Shiwu humbly gave way to Hei Shou, and the two of them ate food and drank water in the dim light.

An hour later, Zheng Shiwu placed a moisture-proof mat on the ground and then covered it with a blanket.

Finally, I crawled into my sleeping bag and rested.

The weather in the northwest will be a bit cold at night.

Being sick and having a fever would be troublesome, so they must stay in good combat condition.

Southern Paradise.

As night fell, a large group of zombies came from afar.

Among these zombies, some mutated zombies are extremely obvious. There are more than a dozen high-jumping zombies bouncing among the zombie group. In front of them is a group of agile zombies, running at an extremely fast speed and rushing in the front.

Among the zombies, one or two small and thin zombies would occasionally appear.

This type of zombie is a wall-climbing zombie, and is also the zombie that poses the greatest threat to humans in the apocalypse.

Even high walls cannot stop their attack, and there is only one way to restrain them: ultraviolet light.

After these zombies rushed to the wall of South Paradise, they immediately began to eat the bloody corpses on the ground.

Click, click, click——

Sharp teeth crush bones and tear flesh.

The more than one hundred corpses on the ground were quickly eaten up by this group of hungry zombies, like a swarm of locusts.

Zombies have a very developed sense of smell and can keenly smell the scent of humans.

The more people there are, the more popular it is, and the easier it is to find zombies.

After the zombies finished eating the corpses, they raised their heads and roared towards the wall.

There were several high-jumping zombies that bounced into the air after charging.

Haw!

It hit the solid wall and fell down.

Even though they have amazing jumping ability, they still cannot jump over the 20-meter-high wall.

Only the least conspicuous wall-climbing zombie rushed to the bottom of the wall and climbed up in a flash.

These wall-climbing zombies have long limbs and thin bodies, and can climb walls as easily as walking on flat ground.

In the darkness of the night, they quickly climbed up the wall and ran accurately towards the central building.

In the basement of the building where Lord Tiger once lived.

This basement is very spacious, covering several hundred square meters.

The madman smiled and said to Dongfeng:

"Don't worry, this basement is very safe. I have done indoor planting here before. If it weren't for the thunderstorm and the flood that flooded this place, my underground planting might have been successful."

Dongfeng sat on the chair, looking through the map in his hand.

"Well, Crazy, I have no objection to your suggestion to send people to South Paradise during the day, but it is useless to agree with me. It depends on the consent of the superiors."

The madman pulled up a stool and sat down on it.

Crunch, crunch, snap!
Maybe it was because the stool was damp, so it collapsed as soon as I sat on it.

The madman didn't feel embarrassed. He patted his butt and stood up and said:
"We don't need that many people. Even if there are zombies climbing the wall, we don't have to be afraid. We can just hide in the basement like we are doing now."

Boom boom boom!
Just at this moment, there was a crash outside the basement.

"The wall-climbing zombies are coming in." Dongfeng stood up from his chair.

"Don't worry, there are two doors. The wall-climbing zombies can't even get in through the first door, so don't worry." The madman waved his hand and said.

Dongfeng looked at Liu Youguang and signaled him to keep an eye on the high-power ultraviolet lamp at the door. If the door could not be defended, he should immediately turn on the ultraviolet lamp to resist the wall-climbing zombies rushing in.
