Chapter 1167: Living Is Not Easy, Be Content!

In Wuyi Mountain.

The thick fog was everywhere, and it was all white when I opened my eyes.

On the top of a certain inconspicuous mountain.

There were few people and few zombies.

There was a cultivated field surrounded by wooden fences.

There was a house in the center.

Inside the house.

The man with long hair still couldn't make dry ice.

In desperation.

He could only turn on the flashlight, grope his way to the small storage room, and move the wood stored in it back to the living room.

He fell two or three times along the way, but finally arrived in the living room.

He lit the wood and put it in the fireplace in the living room.

Since dry ice or liquid nitrogen could not be made, the only way to clear the indoor fog was the simplest method.

Raising the indoor temperature and evaporating the indoor water vapor would naturally achieve the result of clearing the fog.

Crackling——

In the fireplace, the wood burned vigorously.

Hearing the sound of the burning wood, the man's heart inexplicably settled down.

He got up and groped his way to his wife and children with the light on.

"Wife, are you still there?" The man walked to the vicinity of his wife and whispered.

"Yes, how is it? Is there a way?" The wife's voice was a little nervous.

The man listened to the direction of his wife's voice and walked slowly over, saying, "There is a way. I'll take you to the living room. I lit the fireplace. It should work."

As he said that, he touched his wife's shoulder.

His wife's hand tightly held his sleeve.

The man said in a broad voice, "Come with me."

As he said that, he groped and picked up the child, holding his wife's hand, and walked to the fireplace.

The firelight of the fireplace illuminated the night.

The family sat in front of the fireplace, the firelight shone, and the heat escaped.

Within a few meters centered on the fireplace, the fog had dissipated a lot.

The man saw the worried expression on his wife's face and the frightened faces of the two children.

Feeling a little guilty, he slowly embraced them in his arms.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

In his arms, a little boy's head popped out:

"Dad, will there be zombies coming?"

The man rubbed his head and whispered:

"Don't be afraid, our place is very remote, there won't be zombies coming."

The little boy buried his head in the man's arms and hugged the man's arms tightly.

At this time.

A ding-dong sound came from a distance.

The wife's face changed drastically, and she looked at her husband in horror.

"There is movement." The wife said to her husband.

The man gave her a calming look, narrowed his eyes, and then said to his wife: "Take care of them, I'll go out and take a look."

"No."

When the woman heard the man say he wanted to go out, she stopped him anxiously:

"Don't go out, the view outside is worse, we might as well stay indoors, anyway, the doors and windows are closed, it should be difficult to break in."

"If there are many zombies, we can't resist them, we have to die together."

"If there are only one or two zombies, then we don't have to pay attention to it, wait until the fog dissipates a little, then we will go out to deal with it."

After hearing what his wife said, the man felt that what she said made sense.

Now is not the time to show off your bravery, you can't see anything outside, if you run out and the zombies are behind you, you will be bitten and you will be finished.

It's better to stay indoors. As the wood in the fireplace burns, the fog in the room dissipates a little. If a zombie really breaks through the door, they will have a better view indoors, and they have the advantage of home court.

The man was persuaded by the woman, so he didn't go out anymore.

He just checked the doors and windows in the house again to make sure they were closed.

Finally, he returned to the living room with an axe and a knife.

They sat next to the fireplace in the living room. The man quietly watched the thick fog in the room slowly fade away. He held the knife in his hand and looked at the direction of the door.

After a long time, he did not hear the strange sound just now.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the two children slowly fell asleep.

Kakaka--

Hua La!

Suddenly a rapid sound came.

The man was a little drowsy, and he stood up when he heard the movement.

During that period of time, the indoor fireplace evaporated the water vapor in the room, making the indoor vision much better.

The man could even see the door ten meters away.

His wife and two children were still asleep.

The man walked to the door with a knife and looked outside through the window.

The sky outside was still dark.

It means it is now night.

Shashasha--

A messy sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The man held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Over the years, he has dealt with zombies many times.

After the zombie outbreak, one or two zombies would break in almost every two months.

One or two zombies were not a big problem for him.

Bang!

He listened to the sound, and it seemed that the table outside the door was pushed over.

The man looked at the switch on the wall, hesitated for a few seconds, and turned on the light at the door.

He had installed solar panels in this house a long time ago, but many of them broke down over the years.

Later, they had to limit the use of electricity and not use it unless necessary.

The light at the door lit up.

Bang!

A hand suddenly appeared on the window glass.

The hand was covered in rotten flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the zombie's head hit the wooden frame outside the window glass.

The zombie found him.

Kaka.

The wooden frame outside the window glass was hit, making an unpleasant sound.

Outside the window glass, he nailed a row of wooden frames.

Although this zombie cannot directly break the glass, if the wooden frame is broken, the glass will not be spared.

By that time, the heavy fog outside will inevitably blow in through the windows.

Thinking of this, the man didn't hesitate and opened the door directly.

Roar!

The zombies smelled the strong human smell in the room and rushed in.

It's too late, but it's soon.

When the zombie rushed in, the man stabbed the sharp tip of the knife into the zombie's head.

Phew!

The zombie's head was pierced with a sharp knife.

boom!

The zombie's body fell on the edge of the door.

There was a loud bang.

The wife by the fireplace also woke up and came over nervously.

"Stop talking and push this zombie out first."

The man glanced at his wife and said quickly.

As he spoke, he helped the zombie up, and then pushed the zombie's body out the door together with his wife.

Boom!

After pushing the zombie's body out, the man quickly closed the door.

Huhu——

Panting violently.

"Why did the zombies come in? The boss." The wife realized it later and asked with some horror.

The man swallowed and said:

"That zombie has been wreaking havoc outside, why not let it in and kill it. It's okay, it's all over."

The wife didn't say anything after hearing this, she just hugged the man tightly and listened to the heartbeat of the man's chest.

This moment seems like a century.

It is not easy to survive in the apocalypse and be in constant fear every day.

It is about a hundred kilometers away from the northern federation in the south.

Suburbs of Shijia City.

The basement of a house.

The basement was well sealed and no fog drifted in.

However, the entire basement was very stuffy and there was not enough oxygen.

"Qu Liyi, please open the small window in the basement to let some air in. I feel like I'm suffocating." A woman's voice sounded in the darkness.

When the man named Qu Liyi heard this, he hesitated before opening the small window behind him.

The basement window opens at the corner of the building.

The windows were opened, and the outside air came in. Along with the cold air, some sinking fog also drifted in.

However, there were no lights in the basement itself, and they did not dare to light a fire in the basement.

The basement is inherently closed, and if a fire breaks out, it is easy to die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

It just so happens that it's not as cold as it was a while ago, so it doesn't matter if we don't warm up by the fire.

"Sister Zhao, is it really a good idea for us to come out of the north? I've been doubting the decision made at that time recently." Qu Liyi asked while sitting on the ground.

The people in their basement were all people who left the outer city immediately after the Northern Federation was conquered by the Great Zhangshu Base.

At that time, many people left from the north, and these people who left dispersed to various places.

The reason why these people left was not just because they were affected by the aftermath of the siege by millions of zombies.

It's more because I can't live anymore.

The Northern Federation will never distribute disaster relief food to these people in the outer city.

You are responsible for your own profits and losses and solve your own food problems.

It only provides you with a place to hide from zombies.

The Northern Federation is just that big, and there is only so much demand for cheap labor, so many times, people in the outer cities of the Northern Federation are like migratory birds.

When you run out of food, you run out to search and find a way. When you get rich, you go back to the north to survive.

These people are just because they can no longer stay in the northern border, there is nothing for them to do, and there is no food in the northern border.

You can also try your luck by running out.

But the sad thing is that they have been out for several days and have not found anything to eat in several cities near the Northern Federation.

So we headed south all the way to Shijia City.

Along the way, we dug up some grass roots, or some mice, cockroaches and other animals ate them, barely surviving.

But some people still starved to death on the road.

We persisted until we reached the suburbs of Shijia City.

Finally, they found some cans that had expired in the basement of the building where they were staying.

After hearing this, Sister Zhao patted the iron rod in her right hand towards the heart of her left hand.

He opened his mouth and said: "If we stay in the north, we will all starve to death, but we are still alive now, right?"

Qu Liyi sighed and said:

"But Sister Zhao, it's foggy outside and there are zombies all around. We have been staying here. If the zombies find us, we will all be finished."

"If you stay in the north, you don't have to worry about zombies. At least it's safe there."

"What a bastard!" Sister Zhao couldn't help scolding:

"Didn't you understand what I just said? We are staying in the north and there is no food. Do you think you can't understand human language or something?"

"I don't like people like you hanging around the most. I won't let you follow me when I come out. You insist on coming over, and you are gibbering when you come out."

"If you have any objections, you can go back to the north now."

Seeing Sister Zhao getting angry, Qu Liyi did not dare to say anything more.

Munmen stood up and leaned over the small window to check the situation outside.

Because the basement is relatively low and the small window is at the corner of the wall below, the breath people exhale does not dissipate quickly.

Ta-ta-ta--

A sound of zombie footsteps came.

Seven or eight people in the basement held their breath and dared not make any noise.

This is already the tenth wave.

It seems that there are always zombies passing by outside, but they seem to go straight to somewhere and do not stay here.

After the footsteps went away.

Everyone dared to breathe heavily.

Qu Liyi leaned over the small window, which was only the size of two A4 papers.

There was thick fog outside.

Even the tree only two meters away from the small window, Qu Liyi could not see it.

After looking at the window for a while, Qu Liyi sat down again.

He searched in his bag.

He touched a cold can.

The cans they found in the basement were distributed by Sister Zhao as soon as possible.

Sister Zhao, although she has a bad temper, is fair and just, so there are always some people willing to hang out with her.

The person who finds the food takes 50% directly, and the rest of the food is divided equally among the other people who participate in the search.

No one has any objection to this.

After touching it, there are only two cans left.

Qu Liyi swallowed his saliva and decided not to eat for the time being.

This can was not found by him, so he only got five cans in total.

He tightened the belt tied around his waist a little.

His stomach was tightened, so he wouldn't feel so hungry.

He felt the extra length of the belt and calculated it.

It's okay, at this length, he can still starve for more than two days.

After two days, he started to eat canned food.

People in the end of the world who can survive to the present have a necessary skill.

That is to resist hunger, and they have learned one thing from countless times of starving to death, using the least food to survive the longest time.

As for the precise distribution of food, that is something almost everyone knows.

These skills are not learned through deliberate practice, but are mastered automatically in passive helplessness.

No one knows when they can find food, so every time they get food, they will divide the food into several portions.

One portion is the critical point of death, the last chance.

After eating this portion of food, it means that if they don’t find new things before these foods are digested, they will starve to death.

It can last for up to seven days.

In fact, it can only last for up to five days, because they can’t move in the last two days without eating.

Qu Liyi sat on the wet ground and closed his eyes.

He couldn’t fall asleep listening to the zombies’ footsteps coming from outside from time to time.

But no matter what, what Sister Zhao said is actually right. At least they are still alive now.

These zombies outside the house are all heading towards the Northern Federation.

Uncle San asked Ant and Jackal to hide four potions, including two Type III zombie attraction potions, which are extremely powerful.

I’m afraid Uncle San didn’t think that the potion he put in this time would work better than he imagined in foggy weather.
