Chapter 9 Safe Zone

"Okay, we're in the safe zone!" Chen Wenwen jumped out of the car.Seeing that the girl had regained her former vitality, He Shu was also very happy for her.

Luo Shucheng got out of the car and seemed to want to talk to the Lone Ranger.

Why is he in such a hurry to find teammates?Maybe it's because of Gu Dui and Li Zicheng?He Shu was thinking in his mind, always feeling a sense of urgency in Luo Shucheng.

Chen Wenwen and Lin Bei smiled and hugged each other, looking very happy. They seemed to be in tune.

"We will be teammates from now on." Lin Bei said: "You have to register here first. I will send Team Gu to the medical department. I will pick you up later and arrange a place for you."

"Okay." Chen Wenwen smiled: "Sorry to trouble you, thank you for saving us."

"We will be teammates from now on, no need to be polite."

He Shu looked at the barbed wire fence in the safety area.Motorcades and pedestrians lined up outside the guardrail, waiting to register.Separated by two layers of barbed wire and one layer of electric grid, many people were walking in the safety zone with peaceful expressions.

He Shu took Chen Wenwen's hand and said, "Why are there so many people here?" This was the first time since her rebirth that she had seen such a lively scene.

Chen Wenwen touched her head: "This is my first time in the safe zone, and there are so many people."

Somehow, He Shu suddenly felt the urge to cry.It was as if she had gone through many years, gone through many vicissitudes, was full of expectations, and had shed all her blood and tears before she saw peace in the world again.

"It's so lively." He Shu murmured.

They register.The girl in charge of registration smiled sweetly and said to He Shu and Chen Wenwen: "Welcome to the safe zone! This is the second largest safe zone in the entire southern region. I hope you can find a new home here."

The two entered the safe area, and He Shu saw Luo Shucheng and the lone ranger through the barbed wire fence.He was still asked to take off his mask, and the girl in charge of registration exclaimed in low voice, and then apologized profusely.

The Lone Ranger seemed to be used to being treated like this, and shook his head at the girl to say it didn't matter.

Within the safe zone.Pedestrians walked in a hurry, busy with their own things.It's peaceful here. Except for those people who have just returned and are stained with blood, it's as if the zombies didn't happen and the disaster never came.

"Two ladies~" A blond man stopped the two of them with a smile and speaking in substandard Mandarin.

"Lin Bei is back. He said that our new team members are two beautiful ladies." The blond man saluted them: "I'm so lucky to have these two as teammates."

"It's an honor to meet the Muds. My name is Christopher. I'm doing the logistics first. Muds can also call me Chris."

"Foreign friends?" Chen Wenwen smiled.

"Yes, international students. Just one year after arriving in China, zombies broke out, and Youjia can't go back."

"My name is Han Yushu." He Shu took the initiative to introduce. "I'm Chen Wenwen." Chen Wenwen waved to Chris and smiled.

"The house has been arranged for Mu Mu, please come to me." Chris led the two of them deeper into the residential area.

It was late at night, but the residential area was not quiet.An aunt's chicken was scratched by a cat, and she was holding the chicken by the neck and yelling at another neighbor's aunt.Neither of them gave in. From time to time, several neighbors turned on the lights and yelled in local voices: "Let no one sleep!"

There was a young man sitting in front of the window of another house, writing furiously with a book of titles.

"There are still people doing the questions at this time." Chen Wenwen cried sadly.

"Yes, people who swim are not suitable for fighting, so they can only be human beings, clerical workers."

"Even if the end of the world comes, do you still have to study?" Chen Wenwen wailed.

The three of them walked deep and turned into an alley, where there was a small house.

"This house. Muds, let's live here for now. We are lacking everything now, but there is no shortage of houses. There are too many dead people, but there are many houses left."

He Shu and Chen Wenwen walked in and found that the house was fully furnished, with wind chimes hanging by the windows, oil paintings on the walls, and cartoon stickers on the corners of the table, which looked very warm.But a layer of dust had accumulated inside the house, and it looked like the owner had been dead for a long time.

"Well, it's good. We are a family." He Shu and Chen Wenwen looked at each other and smiled.

"But the Muds are not considered official members yet. Because the Muds' abilities are not yet clear. When the Muds get stronger, you can fight with them. The Muds can go to the central hall to apply for tasks, and they can do things outside the safe zone. The patrol and green pepper work are not very dangerous. If you kill the zombies and drop the crystals, you can keep them yourself."

"Green pepper? Clearance?" Chen Wenwen asked.

"Yes, Qingjiao works." Several people chatted and went out.

"Chris!" Lin Bei greeted Christopher from a distance.Panting, she ran closer and took out two small bags of crystal stones and distributed them to Chen Wenwen and He Shu.

"The only common currency in the safe zone is crystals, and barter is also supported here. These crystals are ordinary crystals. If used for upgrades, they are not as fast as killing zombies, but they can buy things. These are our new recruits. As for the welfare of the team members, spar can be earned by completing tasks. You can go to the central hall to pick out some tasks you want to do. Our previous trip was a task to find supplies. "

Lin Bei showed an expectant smile: "When you become a formal team member, we can go out to kill zombies together. Brother Shucheng said, Sister Wenwen, your ability is very good, but your endurance is not enough, you need more practice. As for Sister Shu, you My abilities are excellent.”

He imitated Luo Shucheng's tone: "Your abilities are like auxiliary abilities that can be discovered through combat. Now you can take a look at the safe area, take a rest, and pick up the mission later. We will set off again in a month, and we will City H is on a mission.”

After saying goodbye to Lin Bei and Chris, Chen Wenwen took He Shu and walked to the market: ""Let's go, let's change our mood. "

The two bought some daily necessities and asked people about the location of the central hall.

"The central hall opens at six o'clock in the morning. You have just arrived at the safe zone. You can take a stroll here first." An aunt said with emotion: "The safe zone is really a good place. It gives us ordinary people who don't know how to fight zombies a home. "

"Does it look good?" Chen Wenwen passed by a small jewelry stall, holding a crystal hairpin on her head and gesticulating, then turned around and smiled at He Shu.

"It looks good." He Shu put the hairpin on Chen Wenwen and pinched her cheek affectionately.

Chen Wenwen seemed to notice that He Shu was depressed, and she had been trying very hard to restore He Shu's mood.

"Sister, this sister. Do you want to buy a flower?" A little boy ran over holding a small basket of flowers.

They were probably wild flowers that had just been picked on the roadside. There were yellow and white flowers. The small flowers filled a basket with water sprinkled on them.Although they are all wild flowers, they look very fresh. "Mom is sick." The little boy said, "I want to pick some flowers and sell them to buy medicine for my mother."

"Okay." Chen Wenwen bent down and gently placed a small crystal stone in the boy's palm.

"Thank you, sister, thank you!" The little boy gave Chen Wenwen a large bouquet of flowers and ran away happily.

Chen Wenwen picked out a purple flower from those flowers: "Platycodon flower, given to you, its flower language is eternity."

He Shu pinched the small flower of platycodon, seemed to be moved, and joked: "I always feel like I have seen you in my previous life."

"Really?" Chen Wenwen said with a smile: "Actually, after meeting you, I feel like I have started to change. I used to be afraid of zombies, afraid of death, afraid of being bitten, and becoming someone I don't even recognize."

"After becoming a capable person, I have been hiding at home, afraid to go out. When I ran out of food at home, I went to the convenience store downstairs to get some. It was pitch dark at night and I couldn't sleep, so I waited there alone to die. Until Team Luo passed by and rescued me, he discovered that my superpower was steel and wanted to invite me to join the team, but I refused."

"Because I'm afraid. When I see zombies, it's like seeing my brother and mother turn into zombies, and my father's eyes that are always open... seem to be asking me, why am I alive, why am I watching them die in vain? , and nothing can be done.”

"I was afraid. Later you said that you should let me live with my family's share. I will, and I will live better and better. Yushu, carry the dead on your back. Go further. "

He Shu's eyes suddenly widened and he grabbed Chen Wenwen's hand.She gasped violently, and the forgotten memories of her past life tumbled through her mind.In her previous life, she had indeed seen a girl with blood on her mouth and a smile on her face, telling her to carry the dead on her back and live toward death.

"Wenwen! Chen Wenwen!" He Shu shouted subconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wenwen looked at He Shu's stupefied look and held her hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm here."

He Shu squeezed Chen Wenwen's wrist tightly. His wrist was warm and full of vitality.Her hands trembled and she subconsciously said, "Great, you're okay."

"Yes, we are all fine." Chen Wenwen didn't understand what He Shu was talking about, and was slightly worried, but she still tilted her head and smiled at her.

That's a memory from a past life.He Shu was almost certain that he had met Chen Wenwen in his previous life.But those memories were too vague, and she could only tremble with her hands, feeling the joy of regaining them in her heart.

"Yeah, look ahead." Chen Wenwen said.

They didn't know when they had reached the highest point of the residential area.The evening wind blew across their cheeks, and the two of them overlooked the entire safe area. The lights below were flickering, and it was peaceful. There was no light in the distance, and it was pure darkness densely populated by zombies.

But the stars twinkle at night. This is the beautiful night sky that only appeared after the zombie outbreak, factories shut down, and the air pollution was slowly purified.

"Look." Chen Wenwen pointed to three bright stars close together in the sky.

"That's my dad, mom, and my good-for-nothing brother Chen Wenzhe."

After watching it quietly for a while, the sky turned white.The sun slowly rose and spread over the entire earth.
