Rumble——
A car, erging from who knows where, reversed into them.
Thunk thunk thunk——
The vehicle crushed the zombies beneath it like waterlon.
The lights shone brightly, the zombies’ ghastly white skin ground into black-red, shriveled remains.
It was a truck, blocking the way.
The driver of this vehicle seed quite skilled, as they filled the gap steadily without knocking over the adjacent vehicles after rushing through.
It’s soone from the Zhou Family, Zhou Xiaou.
He erged from the door near the interior, holding a spear, stabbing at the approaching zombies.
But where he stood, he happened to cut into the group of dozens of zombies that had just surged in, facing such nurous zombies encircling him at the sa ti, it was extrely perilous.
"Go save him!" Liu Cunyi saw this scene and was elated, then saw Zhou Xiaou’s dangerous situation and hurriedly shouted.
Everyone swiftly rushed over to engage in combat with the zombies.
Although they hadn’t left the base much, they had been on wall duty, fought zombies before, and weren’t very afraid of them, so they had so combat ability.
Very quickly, they rescued Zhou Xiaou.
Liu Cunyi looked at this young man, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Well done!"
Having said that, he threw himself back into the battle with the zombies.
In this place, the sound of fierce fighting was incessant, the hideous howls of the zombies were continuously heard.
Occasional gunshots rang through the sky.
Yishi originally had several granaries, and after Doomsday broke out, many people went to seize them, many died, but so managed to obtain food and survived.
But often, the most dangerous creatures humans faced weren’t zombies, but their own kind.
Fighting, seizing, deceit, brutality.
Every grain of food was stained with blood and corpses.
At this mont, in the eastern suburbs, at the distillery.
Soone was looking through a telescope in the direction of Liu Cunyi and the others, seemingly having heard so commotion from that direction, but uncertain, they took up the telescope for a closer view yet couldn’t see clearly.
Listening carefully again, there was nothing to be heard.
After all, ordinarily firearms have a reach of about five kiloters.
And Liu Cunyi and their location have long surpassed that distance.
Perhaps ten kiloters.
With the passage of ti.
The numbers of the Zhou and Liu families visibly dwindled.
Anyone bitten by a zombie had no hope of survival.
Under the influence of the first person, those bitten directly jumped from the car wall, leaping outside to fight the zombies head-on.
There was no other way.
If bitten, they didn’t do this, within a few minutes they would turn into zombies and then tear into their own family.
At that ti, if their family could kill the now-turned-zombie, it would be fine, but it’s difficult.
Because rely resisting the external zombies was already so difficult.
To avoid causing trouble for others, those bitten jumped out themselves.
The temperature was very low, the wind stung painfully on the face.
The white breath visible in the light looked sowhat poetic.
But, only if you could ignore the terrifying fangs and faces of the zombies.
.......
Ti slowly passed.
From three o’clock, half an hour had passed.
Within half an hour, nearly twenty people from the two families had already died.
Directly reducing by one-twentieth.
Yet the number of zombies seed unchanged, still a dense mass, seemingly endless in their onslaught.
With the passage of ti, the number of people bitten by zombies kept increasing.
Even the perpetually idle second son of the Liu Family ca out to help.
After the heatwave, one could no longer see the zombie-corpse mountains, as zombies would consu their own dead.
Their instinct is only to eat, to keep eating.
And dead fellows are also judged as edible, they’re not picky at all.
So humans have begun to resort to cannibalism, so zombies eating their own kind seed very reasonable in comparison.
Without the zombie mountain piling up, their pressure was greatly reduced.
But the zombies were too nurous; their manpower kept decreasing continuously.
An hour later.
Fifty people were dead, reducing by one-tenth.
Two and a half hours later.
A hundred were dead, reducing by one-fifth.
By five o’clock, the day started to brighten, many would wake up around this ti after sleeping.
Dawn was ahead, and everyone seed to see hope.
The sky lightened a little, the zombies still hadn’t left.
Yet there was a noticeable decrease in the zombies’ mobility, giving them the motivation to keep holding out.
Ti flowed steadily.
After half an hour, at the cost of more than twenty more lives, they persisted.
They only needed to hold on for another twenty minutes to see the sunrise.
At this point, the sky had shifted from darkness to light blue and black.
So zombies began to retreat, but most still surrounded them.
Helpless, they could only continue to resist.
Every face was covered in sweat, which, blown by the cold wind, took away their body heat.
Backs were icy, Zhou Zhisheng, in his forties, was steaming hot.
White steam emanated from his head, as if he were being stead.
His eyes showed an unconcealable sadness.
Just now his wife was bitten by a zombie.
His wife only glanced back at him, telling him to take care of their children well, and then plunged into the Zombie Tide.
In the Doomsday, death was a common thing.
But when the dead are those you care about, it feels like the world is collapsing.
At that mont, his world crumbled.
But for the sake of his children, he had to hold on; for the family, he had to hold on.
It was for the first ti he truly felt the cruelty of the Doomsday.
So difficult and perilous.
Everyone was barely hanging on, the day was already cold, and recently, to conserve food, most hadn’t eaten to fullness, only barely maintaining strength.
You have to understand that being fully fed is a asure.
There is also a gauge: one fullness, two fullness, and so on...
Many survivors, to save food, just lay down, saving energy.
Lying down consus less energy; sotis, eating a piece of biscuit every two days, one could still survive.
But in high-intensity combat or activity, more food had to be supplented, otherwise, they couldn’t hold on.
Many were hungry....
Very, very hungry.
So were so hungry, their stomachs churned faster, growling, their bodies weak, heartbeat racing, eyes seeing stars. They salivated at the thought of gulping down the food in the car.
At this point, they finally understood how a zombie felt.
Craving, an extre craving, an extre craving for food.
But now, they had no ti to eat anything, zombies were right in front of them, they had to fend them off.
In the west, soone was so dizzy with hunger, they staggered out of carelessness outside the car wall and were grabbed by a few zombies.
Crack——
His throat was bitten through by a zombie.
And at the sa ti.
The sky began to lighten.
In his last monts, he stared wide-eyed at the light, full of regret.
He had been so close to holding out.
The zombies retreated like a tide, rushing away noisily.
These days, zombies aren’t unable to survive under the sun, they just dislike it.
Watching the zombies slowly retreating, a look of relief washed over Liu Cunyi’s face.
Finally, finally, they had won.
Yet within the range of his sight, although there were no bodies, he knew it wasn’t that there were no deaths, it’s that these people were all consud by zombies.
Lantation.
After the zombies left, there was a mont of silence.
But soon, the sound of suppressed sobs and weeping ca.
Last night, a hundred and fifty people died.
Over eighty in the Zhou Family, over sixty in the Liu Family.
In total, both families combined had only over five hundred people, losing a quarter in just one night.
And this was solely during the night.
The night without rain.
It highlights how crucial a safe outpost is!
......
Bawang Plastic Factory.
Sunlight broke through the dawn.
Li Yu stretched and got out of bed, having rested well the night before.
Thanks to this place being a decent outpost, otherwise Li Yu couldn’t have slept well.
.......

OS: I’m so hungry, let grab so food before continuing to write.
