Rebirth of the Zombie Age

Chapter 36 Freshmen
In the gray sky, iron-like dark clouds gathered together with the continuous mountain peaks, like a big cauldron covering the head, dark and dense.

"A big event is about to happen." Zhou Jian murmured as he looked at the dark clouds that looked like substance.

Suddenly, the movement of the baby in his arms brought him back to his senses. He lowered his head, looked into his innocent and pure eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

However, the child kept staring at the back, babbling and pointing at his back with his fleshy little fingers, and the ugly face of the zombie was reflected in his clear pupils.

He turned around, and the zombie was already close at hand, with countless fangs in his mouth.

But he was not in a hurry, and instead hugged the baby with one hand, and opened his swaddling clothes a little, so that his eyes were facing the zombie.

"You have to see clearly, this is what killed your mother, and you must not be soft when you encounter it in the future."

After saying this, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Jian's eyes, and his free right hand pulled out the hatchet behind his back with lightning speed, and chopped it straight on the zombie's head.

Like the sound of a watermelon cracking, the zombie's head burst open, and the brains were scattered everywhere.

The swaddled baby watched the violence, but danced and danced with excitement, dropping the pacifier on the floor.

Zhou Jian put the hatchet on his back again, squatted down, and picked up the pacifier, but it was already covered with dust and blood from zombies, making it completely unusable.

"Hey, you little rascal."

Zhou Jian sighed, and the baby in his arms seemed to know that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at Zhou Jian without blinking a pair of big, black eyes.

Zhou Jian threw away the pacifier, scratched his nose, and looked around.

Fortunately, there is a convenience store not far away, which should have what he needs.

The convenience store is small, but there is a place for powdered milk.After Zhou Jian got rid of the cashier zombie stuck in the counter, he found a new pacifier and gave it to the baby to bite on. He then took out the bottle in his pocket and started brewing milk powder.

During the time when the mineral water was poured into the water heater to heat up, he could only wait.In boredom, his eyes wandered around, and finally fixed on the small TV on the wall.

What attracted him was a line of small characters at the bottom of the TV screen, which was played in a scrolling manner. It was the news that Xu Hao and the others heard on the radio.

"Refuge? Maybe we should go there too." Zhou Jian looked at the baby in his arms lovingly and murmured.

After experiencing his wife's suicide, he was already wary of others and he didn't want to get close to anyone. The shelter must be a place where people gather, but now he is willing to go, all because of this baby.

Recalling the scene when they met, Zhou Jian couldn't help being full of respect for that mother.

At that time, he had just returned to the small building on the second floor, seeing things and thinking about feelings, and grief spread to his body and mind again. He had no love in his life, and he never thought that here, he met the second turning point in his life.

A woman's terrified cry for help suddenly sounded from the corner of the street not far away. Crazy roars and chaotic footsteps were intertwined, rushing towards this side quickly.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Jian knew that another unfortunate person had been discovered by the zombies, but he laughed at himself, thinking that it had nothing to do with him, and didn't intend to help at all.

As expected, a panicked woman rushed out. Her body was already stained with blood, and there were bite marks of zombies on her arms and legs where her sleeves were exposed.

A woman is very beautiful, her delicate snow-white skin is many times more beautiful than those women who apply beauty products all day long. If there were no bite marks on her body, she would have been a beautiful lily, fresh and elegant.

But now, the blood on her body stained her body red, making her like a bright red rose, although it gave people a different kind of poignant beauty, it was destined to not bloom for a long time.

However, the woman's beauty is not what attracts Zhou Jian. What he really notices is the baby in her arms.

He would have had a child too, and his natural affection for the child stood him up.

The woman noticed him, gritted her teeth, walked up to him quickly, and thrust the child into his arms. Although she didn't say anything, Zhou Jian understood all the meanings in her eyes.

The woman didn't stay, the blood flowing from her body was a clear target for the zombies, the corpses swarmed in, if she stayed, the child would definitely die.

At the same time, Zhou Jian also returned to the house, closed the door falsely, and hid at the side.

Zombies passed by one after another, but none of them stayed. Their attention was all attracted by the woman.

The woman was already injured, if it wasn't for the child in her arms, she might have been caught by the zombies long ago.Now, after the child's life was safe, she still insisted on running for a certain distance, just to keep the zombies farther away from the child, so that the person could escape with her child.

Excited roars mixed with the woman's shrill, inhuman screams came from afar. Zhou Jian didn't stay for too long. When the zombies were eating the woman's body, he fled with the baby in his arms.

Since then, he seems to have found a new purpose in life, no longer depressed, running around for the milk powder of the baby in his arms, even in danger.

He knew that instead of saying that he saved the baby in the woman's arms, it was better to say that the woman gave him a new life.

He is sincerely grateful for that.

The sound of the kettle boiling interrupted Zhou Jian's recollections. He hastily unplugged the switch, poured boiling water into the bottle, and shook it up and down.

Just as he was about to leave for the refuge, he suddenly thought of Xu Hao and the others.

"I don't know if they know the news?"

Maybe you know, maybe you don't know, who will watch TV at this time.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Jian decided to tell Xu Hao and the others first.Xu Hao had saved his life, if not for Xu Hao, he would not have met this baby.

But he didn't know that Xu Hao was no longer in the building, and he was now in a big trouble.

The tables and chairs in the lobby were all placed in front of the entrance, and they deliberately formed two winding passages.

When encountering obstacles, zombies will not use other methods to pass through them like humans, they will directly bypass them and choose other walking paths.

Taking advantage of this feature, Xu Hao and others don't have to face a huge group of zombies. They only need to guard the two passages separately to keep the zombies out.

The zombies seemed to have finally noticed the breath of the living inside, and followed one after another.As expected by Xu Hao, they did not get under the table and chairs, but walked in along two passages.

Seeing the zombies pouring in, Dong Shaocheng's nose was slightly sweating, and Xia Linyi's hands were tightly holding the riot gun, and her fingertips turned white because of too much force.

"Don't panic, as long as we can defend well, we will be able to kill the zombies." Xu Hao encouraged.

Both of them nodded, now they can only choose to trust Xu Hao.

The zombies were getting closer and closer, but they still didn't make a move, until the two passages were occupied by half the length of the zombies, Xu Hao then shouted: "Shoot."

The bullets whizzed towards the heads amidst the rough gunshots.
