Chapter 20: Suburbs
Four days later, on a cloudy morning, the chariot arrived at the suburbs of Binhai City.
Along the way, there was no stop at the base along the way, and the chariot always went around the survivors' base.
Every day, there were more and more zombies encountered during the day, and there were more and more mutants. Gu Ming felt that with the development of time, animals seemed to evolve faster and faster, and mutants became more and more bloodthirsty. Fortunately, mutants not only eat humans, but also zombies.
The chariot stopped at the door of a supermarket in Jiangsong District. Gu Ming asked Xiao Bei to stay in the car to watch TV. He changed his clothes, took his weapons, and got out of the car.
There were two off-road vehicles parked at the door. I don't know if the survivors were careless and didn't leave anyone to guard the vehicles. Fortunately, Gu Ming didn't like these cars.
Gu Ming wanted to ask these survivors about some of the conditions in Binhai City. The other party might be a material collection team, which should have come from the survivors' base and was more familiar with some of the local conditions.
Stepping into the quiet supermarket door, there were scattered commodity packaging on the floor, and several zombie corpses, emitting a faint stench, and the corpses were crawling with bugs. Fortunately, the temperature was relatively low. If it was summer, Gu Ming would definitely not be able to stand the smell.
He squatted down to check some zombie corpses. The wounds were all caused by cold weapons, and the brain cores in the back of the head were hollowed out. After all, the radio broadcast had been broadcast for more than a week, and even the survivors in remote areas knew about the existence of the brain core. Although the function of the brain core has not been developed yet, everyone knows that the brain core will definitely have a big effect, not to mention that many young people have watched the Internet, guessing that the brain core may be the basis for their strengthening. You must know that the doomsday has only been coming for more than ten days. The movement speed of zombies has become visibly stronger. Although it is not as fast as the speed of humans running at full speed, zombies will not get tired. If they are chasing survivors, unless they keep a distance, they will chase you tightly and never give up.
The supermarket on the first floor mainly has counters, selling watches, mobile phones, jewelry, jade, etc., but the counters have been empty for a long time, and I don’t know how many times it has been looted by survivors.
After listening carefully, the group of people who just entered should have gone upstairs, but I don’t know whether they went to the second or third floor.
Going up the escalator, Gu Ming was always cautious until he came to the entrance of the second floor.
"Ah——"
"Don't——"
"Puff——"
"Help——"
A burst of ghosts and wolves howling came from the third floor. Gu Ming knew that they had encountered an unexpected situation. It was just that ordinary zombies should not be the opponents of nearly ten people. Could it be mutant creatures or mutant zombies?
Putting the pistol into the holster and pulling out the Tang sword, Gu Ming was already very experienced and knew that it was more appropriate to use a knife to deal with mutant creatures or mutant zombies, especially this Tang sword made of super special alloy that he exchanged from the system store, which was more effective against them than hot weapons.
He went up the escalator to the third floor lightly and quickly. At the entrance of the third floor, he could see bloodstains on the floor. The long bloodstains left a trail and disappeared at a corner not far away. The body disappeared. Gu Ming became more careful. He knew it was done by a monster.
Because there was no light, the sunlight could only shine in faintly from the exhaust fan, so the supermarket seemed a little dark. Fortunately, Gu Ming's vision had greatly improved with the effect of the genetic medicine, so he could see the scene inside clearly. If the monster thought he couldn't see clearly and wanted to attack him, he would let him know what it meant to be slapped in the face.
Gu Ming came to the clothing area. There were still some clothes on the hangers. Several standing plastic mannequins gave people a very strange feeling in such an environment. Fortunately, he was brave. If he was a timid person, he would be scared to death.
"Hey, come in quickly. There is a monster outside."
The dressing room opened a crack, and a small voice came from inside. Gu Ming saw that it was a woman from the crack of the door. After thinking about it, he approached and opened the door to go in.
"You are Gu Ming, right? How did you get here?"
Gu Ming also didn't expect to meet his college classmate in such a situation. Shangguan Xiaoxue, the class beauty of his class and the campus beauty of Shenzhen University, is a beautiful woman full of classical beauty and a popular lover of Shenzhen University. The men who have a crush on her can be said to occupy half of the male students in the university.
"I didn't expect to meet you, President Shangguan."
Shangguan Xiaoxue is also the president of the Gu Ming College Student Union. In college, he called her the president. Looking at her black tights, her curvy figure, and her white face with a little fear, he couldn't imagine her vigorous style in college. She must have been scared by the monster.
"What did you encounter? Is it a zombie or a mutant creature?"
Gu Ming knew that it was not the time to reminisce about the past, so he asked about their experience.
"I don't know, I can't see clearly, that thing is too fast, we were attacked not long after we came up, my brother is dead, I am going to die too, now I am the only one left, can you help me? I am still a virgin, can you let me be a real woman?"
Shangguan Xiaoxue encountered such a monster for the first time, and her brother was killed by the monster just now to protect her, so she was a little emotionally broken, her speech was a little incoherent, and she was crying, and then she hugged Gu Ming, as if her body wanted to squeeze into his body.
"Calm down, I will kill that monster."
Feeling the other party's enthusiasm, the other party was also Gu Ming's goddess in college. If he hadn't been in love with his wife for a long time, to be honest, he would have had a crush on her in college. It took a lot of willpower to push her away. He felt a little sorry. Stop it. You are not a scumbag. Think about your wife and daughter, he thought secretly in his heart.
"You stay here first, don't make a sound, I will go out to kill that monster, and then I will take you out. You have to believe me. Think about how I can come to Binhai safely from such a far place as Xiangnan Province. You should believe in my ability."
Gu Ming patted Shangguan Xiaoxue's face. This was really not to take advantage of her intentionally, but just to make her sober up. He looked into her eyes and conveyed a message that he could.
"I know, I'll wait for you, I'll stay here."
Fortunately, Shangguan Xiaoxue's mood did not go down again. Those who survived since the doomsday are still very strong in their hearts. Who hasn't lost a few relatives now? Some people have all their relatives gone, leaving only themselves. They also have to pick up their moods and continue to live their lives. This is the life that humans need to live in the doomsday.
