Chapter 27
Although it is a good thing to have someone to help, only Wen Xin knows where the things in the house are kept.
Besides, he didn’t want to ask outsiders to pack up some of his personal belongings, so he declined the kindness of the crew-haired man and his friends.
The group was used to being ordered around and had been through a lot along the way. Their nerves were very tense, and they never thought that they would be idle.
They stood in the living room at a loss, feeling an unprecedented emptiness.
Wen Xin didn’t leave them idle either.
Seeing the young man struggling to carry out the water barrel, the man with the crew cut and the others were stunned and quickly walked over to help.
When Wen Xin asked them to carry several buckets of water to the bathroom, they instantly realized the purpose of the water and couldn’t help but look at the young man with complicated expressions.
Because of what happened at the door just now, they thought Wen Xin’s promise was just to temporarily reassure them.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually willing to give up the water for them to take a bath.
Wen Xin is not a person who does not know how to be grateful.
If they hadn’t encountered any difficulties on the way, the crew-haired guy and his friends wouldn’t have made themselves so dirty and miserable, and it wouldn’t have taken them so long to get here.
Even though they were commissioned by Wen Jinfeng, Wen Xin was very grateful in his heart.
It is unclear whether the water is contaminated or not, so it cannot be drunk rashly. He usually only uses it for bathing.
Now that we are all leaving, we might as well use it all up at once to avoid waste.
The crew-haired man and the others looked at each other, and the depression of having to bring the cat on the road was relieved a little.
This is not the end yet.
After coming out of the shower, they saw that the young man had placed the beef jerky, chicken sausage and other things that he had promised them on the coffee table for them to use. The man with the crew cut and the others could hardly hide the surprise on their faces.
Wen Xin thought that there was not enough for them to share, so he apologized and said, “We have to keep some for ourselves, so we can only give you this much for now.”
The man with the crew cut and others understood what he meant, were speechless, and quickly waved their hands.
“No, no, it’s quite a lot.”
Fearing that they might be reserved or resentful of his threat, Wen Xin took the initiative to open a bag of beef jerky and handed it to them.
It seems unreasonable to shirk it further.
The man with a crew cut paused, took it and shared it with everyone.
They were not very hungry now, after all, they had brought enough energy bars before going out.
Moreover, those who have the ability to cross thousands of kilometers of roads filled with zombies and safely reach City G from City A certainly have no shortage of ways to fill their stomachs.
What made them suddenly stunned was the kindness and gentleness that the young man inadvertently revealed.
Seeing that a few people were willing to eat, Wen Xin stood up again and went to make instant noodles for them.
Although instant noodles are not considered a big meal, a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup can instantly wash away the frustration of eating energy bars for several days in a row, as well as the coldness lingering on the body from the biting cold wind.
This time, the men with crew cuts were more natural than when they were eating beef jerky just now.
After wiping their mouths after eating, they felt as if a heavy burden they had been carrying for a long time had suddenly been lifted off their shoulders. They relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Scarface was lying paralyzed while shouting: “This is the life a human being should live—”
All of a sudden the men started talking.
They first cursed the damn end of the world with great sorrow and gave the middle finger to the evil God who suddenly went crazy.
Then I couldn’t help but feel sorry for myself. I had been busy before and after the disaster, running around non-stop.
Through their complaints, Wen Xin also learned a lot of information about the outside world.
The authorities are not doing nothing.
As early as one month before the outbreak of the apocalypse, the people above had already noticed something was happening and quickly organized personnel to investigate the zombie virus.
But the virus spreads so quickly and its toxicity is so strong that people are caught off guard.
You don’t even have to be bitten. As long as a little bit of the zombie’s saliva and blood gets on the broken skin, you will definitely become a zombie within two or three days.
What’s even more deadly is that this thing has an irregular incubation period. There is no early, late, front or middle stage. After the onset, the transformation from human to non-human can be completed in just a few minutes.
Most of the time, people don’t even know they are infected, so how can they be vigilant and prevent it?
Who would be on guard against relatives and friends who seem normal?
In order to deal with the zombie crisis, the authorities also lost a lot of people. In the end, they had no choice but to use nuclear weapons.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xin’s heart skipped a beat: “How critical would it be to use it?”
The man with a crew cut knew what he was worried about and didn’t want to discourage him, but when he met those clear eyes, he still told him the truth.
“In fact, the current situation in G City is very dangerous. This is the intersection of several major cities. When there are more zombies, they will probably use some means to completely cleanse it.”
Wen Xin’s lips trembled slightly, and he couldn’t help but stand up in an instant.
If you stay in the house and keep quiet, you might be lucky enough to avoid the zombie tide.
But if you are exposed to nuclear weapons, there is really no chance of survival.
We must inform other people about this as soon as possible!
Scarface made him feel at ease.
“Using that method is no joke. It will take at least half a month. Before that, the higher-ups will send people to organize the evacuation of the survivors.”
As they spoke, they produced evidence, a gathering notice torn from another city.
The man with the crew cut also said that in several cities where there are not many zombies, people are working hard to build survival bases that can resist the zombie tide.
There are both private and official ones, and they have been busy building their homes without even touching the ground.
Wen Xin will naturally find out more things about the base when he arrives in City A.
What we can ensure now is that human beings can tenaciously deal with every joke played by God and will not be directly defeated by the zombie virus.
The crew-haired man took a sip of water and said inadvertently, “In fact, the infected are easy to deal with. The most deadly ones are the infected animals and plants.”
“Oh yes, in order to distinguish them from the infected, those monsters are now collectively called mutants.”
The companion rubbed his temple and said, “Who said it wasn’t? Not only do they have many tricks, but they also have self-awareness and can think. Their bodies are as hard as rocks, and some can even resist bullets. Isn’t this ridiculous?”
“The only good thing about them is that you won’t be infected and turned into a zombie if you get hurt by them.”
From their tone, Wen Xin seemed to have suffered enough at the hands of mutated animals and plants.
He secretly took note and remembered that he must be more cautious when facing mutants in the future.
Thinking about having to go through the same experience again, the man with the crew cut and the others took a few gulps of water, just to drown their sorrows.
Not noticing, the dumplings behind him froze instantly.
They carefully looked at Wen Xin’s reaction, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual on the young man’s face, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there was a word mentioned by the crew cut guy and his friends that made Canary very concerned.
“What is a nuclear weapon?”
Hearing the young man’s question, Wen Xin was stunned.
Before he could answer, the scarred man next to him raised his fists and imitated an explosion with great interest.
“With a loud bang, the whole city will be reduced to ashes!”
Canary’s expression changed instantly, as did the other dumplings.
The whole city was reduced to ashes, did that mean this home couldn’t escape the damage?
“It’s okay.” Wen Xin hugged them, “As long as we are together, anywhere will be home.”
But the dumplings still felt very uncomfortable.
They met Wen Xin here, and felt unprecedented peace in the following time. They really liked this place very much.
Looking back at the prospects of the group’s conversation, it seems that there are prerequisites for a comprehensive purge.
Canary suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, “If there weren’t so many zombies, would nuclear weapons not be needed?”
The guy with the crew cut was stunned for a moment.
“Of course. Who would blow up a city for fun?”
But how can we get rid of so many zombies at once without using extraordinary measures?
Even if we send armored vehicles loaded with artillery shells, it will take a lot of time and effort.
Many people will die during this period, so the “cost-effectiveness” must also be considered.
As they spoke, they looked at the young man whose face was filled with hope again, and couldn’t help but show pity in their eyes.
They were completely unaware of their pitiful looks, which made the others laugh and feel disdainful.
More than 100,000 infected people is indeed not a small number, and it will take a lot of effort to clean them up.
But for the mutant evolving into a complete form, there will be no other problems except the tight time limit.
Thinking of this, the canary, purple squirrel, and scaly tree viper couldn’t help but look at the sleeping little fox with envy.
Only the black group and the blue group frowned, feeling the frequent violent fluctuations coming from the little fox, with a hint of doubt and worry in their eyes.
In the following time, the man with the crew cut and others sat on the sofa to rest for a while.
There were originally beds, but they gave up after taking one look.
The bed was too soft and warm, and he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get up for a while after lying down.
As for Wen Xin himself, he took the assembly notice they had torn off from other cities and went to the community leader, emphasizing the necessity for everyone to leave City G immediately.
Not long after, he came back with a relaxed look on his face.
This time there was a collective notice with an official seal, so the persuasion process was smoother.
However, there are still some people who want to wait until the drone has finished investigating the situation in the west of the city.
They made up their minds and prepared to set out for investigation immediately.
If the zombie tide situation is confirmed to be true and the situation is so critical that they have to flee, the residents will use the cars parked on the roadside to evacuate.
As payment for borrowing the car, they would dig out the car owner’s headless body or body with only half of the head left and bury him.
Finally, after everything was ready, Wen Xin and others were ready to set off.
Before leaving, many people came out to see him off.
There is an old saying that true friendship is revealed in times of crisis.
Everyone present had received Wen Xin’s help or assistance to some extent. Although they did not express their gratitude, they always kept it in their hearts.
They saw the man with a crew cut.
After everyone left, I couldn’t help but say, “The people here are really different.”
If it were other communities or other forces, they would have been in chaos due to various conflicts over survival resources. There would never have been such a happy time.
If the zombie wave had not forced the residents to leave, this community might have become a pure land if it had developed further.
The scarred man also said, “It’s quite magical.”
If others think about it carefully, the zombies will take a detour when they encounter this community. Isn’t this the most miraculous of all?
At this time, the man with the crew cut and his group did not know that the source of the miracle was right next to them. Unfortunately, this scene was only fleeting.
When Wen Xin worked with powerful mutants to create more miracles in the future, they suddenly realized that they had witnessed such a magnificent and splendid history.
But that’s all in the past.
The man with a crew cut opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, started the car and stepped on the accelerator. The SUV’s engine made a dull humming sound and sped away towards G177 Avenue.
Wen Xin sat in the back seat, holding Hei Tuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, in his arms.
The scaly tree vipers still have a deep resentment towards humans, as do the purple squirrels, so they simply went into the cat bag to avoid dealing with Scarface and his men.
The blue ball was soaking in the water leisurely.
The previous pot was too shallow, and Wen Xin was afraid that the water would spill when riding in the car, so he made a new water container using a discarded tap bucket.
The water surface that can submerge the blue ball is only one-third of the entire bucket and will definitely not spill out.
Fortunately, due to the little fox’s previous hint, the crew-haired man and others did not raise any objection to “why the cat had to soak in water”.
The little fox was held on Canary’s lap.
At this moment, everyone’s attention is focused on being alert to possible dangers around them.
No one saw the little fox twitch its eyelids twice in pain, then open its eyes, with a hint of scarlet blood in its pupils.
