Guardian of the Last Days

Chapter 40

Time flies, and it is late autumn in a blink of an eye.Winter is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and the supplies for the winter are becoming more and more tense. Even the fearless zombies seem to be affected by the weather, and their movements are as slow as tortoises crawling. More zombies begin to shift positions, no longer wandering or wandering in the outskirts of the city.

A ray of sunlight shot down directly from the sky, pierced through the vast white mist, and scattered fine and hazy golden brilliance all over the ground.On the ground, the ice crystals that had condensed overnight glistened in the sunlight, and there was a slight chill in the air.

Early morning was the coldest time of the day, and the zombies hid in the warm house and looked out with scarlet eyes, searching for traces of food.The street outside the window was now empty and silent.

This autumn, the temperature has plummeted several degrees compared to usual. In the first winter of the end of the world, the temperature may be several tens of degrees lower. It is predicted that it may reach minus ten or twenty degrees, and the place where they are The area is still in the south. If it is changed to the north, it is not known how low the temperature will be lowered.

"When the fog subsides, we will go to the nearby large cities to collect supplies for the winter." Lin Wei glanced at the thin clothes on everyone one by one, and frowned deeply.Today's temperature is less than ten degrees, and they collect thin clothes, except for Ye Man who wears a little thicker, the men are all wearing thin long sleeves, it's not that they don't want to wear more, it's because they have no clothes to wear.Back then, the weather was hot and everyone was running for their lives. Besides food, who would go back to prepare clothes or something.It's not about going on a trip. In that case, it would be good to save your life.

Counting it, they have been staying in the village for nearly half a month. Most of the food they collected at the beginning was food, but now they have run out. The most important thing is that seeing the weather getting colder and colder, various problems come one after another.Winter food, winter clothes, quilts, etc. are the most important materials at present.Judging from the current situation, they must hurry up and get everything ready before winter.

"The weather is getting colder, and there will definitely be no fewer survivors targeting big cities. Most of these survivors belong to the Hope Base. This base is not simple. In case someone discovers the secret between Scar and me , I’m afraid it will cause big trouble. I think we should give up the nearby big cities and go to the big cities a little farther away. There will be fewer survivors and conflicts will not be easy.” Although I am not afraid of confronting others, but less Trouble is always good. "Anyway, we don't have to worry about where we end up."

Lin Wei thought about it. During the process of collecting supplies, Scar and Ye Man would inevitably use their abilities. If they were in a crowded place, they would not be discovered.It's just that there are no other large cities besides F City nearby.Even City F was blown up by the government for half of the city. In addition, it is close to the Hope Base. Almost all the survivors in the base went to City F to collect supplies.

Although there are no large cities, there are quite a few small cities and towns, but there are fewer zombies in those places, which is much safer than a big city with hundreds of thousands of zombies, but relatively speaking, there are few supplies, and those who go there survive There are also many people, and it is their turn to collect those materials, I am afraid they have been emptied long ago.After much deliberation, I ruled out several places but couldn't find a good one.

Lin Wei couldn't help sighing, what a pity, if they hadn't met that spider zombie last time, they would have been able to take away the food that Ye Man collected, there were more than a dozen snakeskin bags for those things.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved.

By the way, how could he forget Ye Man's ability!Last time they relied on Ye Man's ability to escape from the mouth of the spider zombie. If this is the case, does that mean... Lin Wei couldn't sit still: "Ye Man, do you still remember the spider zombie last time?" ?”

"Of course I remember, why?" Ye Man looked at him suspiciously.

At the same time, a flash of light flashed in Yin Yue's eyes, he looked at the excited Lin Wei, and raised his lips thoughtfully.

"If you encounter that spider zombie again, can you make it not hurt us?"

Ye Man pondered for a while and said: "It should be possible. Why, don't you want to..." Obviously, she also thought of the large amount of food that was abandoned. She let the zombies come from almost all the supermarkets in the township. It came from the collection, and she also sorted the food into bags according to the length of shelf life.It would be a pity to just give up like that.

"Let's go get the food back." Lin Wei said directly, "If you have no objections, we'll leave in the afternoon." Looking at the expressions of everyone, no one objected, and the schedule for the afternoon was decided.

"Ye Man, it seems that this time you will have to work hard again." Lin Wei stepped forward and raised his hand to pat Ye Man on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, when suddenly his body became cold, and he subconsciously looked at the person standing beside Ye Man Yin Yue, Yin Yue's gaze was like a torch, staring at his hand calmly, he was stunned, and put down his hand, he didn't know what to say to his jealous boss.

Just as Ye Man was about to reply, her eyes suddenly went dark, and a strong sense of crisis surged into her heart. The unprecedented panic made her body tremble, and her feet staggered.Almost unable to support the body will fall down.Yin Yue took a quick step forward to hold Ye Man's shoulders, and let her approach his arms: "Manman, are you feeling unwell?"

"Danger..." Ye Man's face turned pale as snow, this feeling...a strong sense of crisis!She has always felt different from ordinary people. Although usually there is a strong warning sign of crisis before any life-threatening danger occurs, but there has never been a time like this time that her heart beats like garlic, and she almost jumped out of her chest in panic!Could it be... Could it be that there is some danger that she can't overcome is coming?
However, she has the space and the superpowers against the sky, what crisis can make her feel so palpitating?As soon as the thought passed, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The next moment, Ye Man was shocked suddenly, as if shocked by an electric shock!

Such a familiar figure, it was... Zhu Lin!
Zhu Lin held the steering wheel and looked ahead. The broken glass windows reflected the flat road ahead. The trees on both sides of the road receded quickly, and the cars sped past, kicking up dust all over the place.

Gradually, a dense layer of high-voltage power grid appeared in front of the eyes. In front of the power grid, several men with guns patrolled back and forth.When it finally arrived, Zhu Lin's eyes showed a clearly visible look of joy.

At the same moment, Ye Man opened his eyes.

hope base.

After receiving the house key and contribution card handed over from the person in charge, Zhu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.The car has completely run out of gas, if she is excluded from the base, it will be miserable for her, but fortunately, God is still standing in front of her.

It's just a pity that the car...

Zhu Lin looked at the black private car in disappointment. The paint on the car was stained, and there were signs of dilapidation everywhere. The hood above the engine had been deeply sunken in a large area, and the marks of several huge fists on it were clearly visible. There was even moderate damage to the engine.There are cracks everywhere in the glass windows, which look like messy spider webs, which have seriously affected the vision.She escaped from the dangerous place by relying on this greatly damaged car along the way.

Now that the car has completed its final mission, it is almost scrapped. Even if it can be used barely, it will be like a waste because there is no gasoline.Thinking of the thrilling journey along the way, she almost brushed past death several times in succession, Zhu Lin couldn't help turning pale.At the same time, those angry and cold eyes with hatred surfaced in her heart, which disturbed her even more, she closed her eyes, people don't kill themselves, who can not be selfish in the face of death?
The more she experiences, the more she fears death. Being able to live safe and sound is the driving force behind her struggle. Not only her, this has become the goal of all survivors in the last days.

Zhu Lin got out of the car with the little food left, and looked at the house on the key. She was assigned to Room 1 on the sixth floor of a seven-story commercial building in the north area of ​​the base. If Ye Man was here, she would definitely Surprised to find that things are always so coincidental, Zhu Lin's new house is surprisingly the room she used to live in!

After entering the room, Zhu Lin glanced at the furnishings in the house and nodded in satisfaction.The house looked very neat and tidy, and the items were arranged in an orderly manner. It seemed that the previous resident had tidied up the place very well.However, because no one lived there for a while, some dust accumulated in the house.

Zhu Lin rushed over, her body smelled of dust, she didn't care about it, she fell down on the sofa.After traveling all night, her nerves were tense and she dared not relax all the time. Now she felt tired as soon as she was relieved. She put down the bag and looked at the food inside. There were two packs of instant noodles, a bottle of water, and two cans of fungi. These things can only last for one more day if you live frugally.

"Damn it!" Zhu Lin cursed in a low voice, she would have brought more food if she had known.But thinking about it, she also knows that in that kind of crisis situation, if she focused on a little profit and went to get those food, how could she escape now? People are the same.

Thinking of those people, she couldn't help but think of Han Chu, and she felt a sudden pain in her heart, but Zhu Lin knew that if the time came again, she would still choose herself without hesitation.No matter how important love is, can it be eaten as a meal?Life is gone, what's the use of love?People will always change. After so much, she is no longer the original Zhu Lin, otherwise she would not be alive today.

After thinking wildly for a while, Zhu Lin became ruthless, squeezed away all the guilt and closed her eyes.What she needs most now is not guilt or introspection, but to sleep and think about how she should spend this winter.

At this time, Zhu Lin didn't know that Ye Man, who was worried about her parents and family, was rushing to the base in a hurry.
