Simple als.
The aroma of the al wafted through the house, whetting the appetite.
In the apocalypse, being able to taste the warm scent of food was truly a great choice.
At that mont.
Thump thump...
A loud noise ca from outside.
The sound not only startled Lin Fan but also the other survivors in the Sunshine District.
"What’s happening?"
Lin Fan, holding his bowl, went to the balcony and looked outside. The noise did not co from nearby but from a distance. Then, he saw zombies erging from various corners, chasing after the source of the sound.
Room 603.
Four elderly were enjoying their lunch when they heard the noise outside, showing puzzled expressions, thinking sothing had happened. After listening closely,
Old Master Wang said, "That sound really resembles the one from the clock tower on Xiangyang Road, but it’s been many years since we last heard it chi on the hour. When this clock tower first sounded, it was very loud. A sudden noise once scared an old man so much that his heart condition flared up, he was reported, and then the clock tower was shut down."
Xu Guifen checked the ti, "It’s twelve o’clock now, just the hour. Soone must have fixed the clock tower there, and it started ringing again at twelve. The continuous sound might last a few minutes. With this scary noise, those zombies will definitely be attracted over there. To be honest, this might create a few minutes for so survivors to find supplies."
Old Master Zhou said, "I don’t know which survivor did this, but they are really a good person for figuring out, during these apocalyptic tis, to use the sound of the clock tower to briefly divert the zombies’ attention and buy so ti for nearby survivors. It really is not bad. It shows that even in critical monts, there is still hope."
Elder Liang Yan agreed with this sentint.
Cake Shop.
Su Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden noise, trembling all over, she carefully peeked outside through a corner of the curtain.
She saw the scene of a swarm of zombies running amok.
"It’s really terrifying."
She had no thoughts of leaving.
The cake shop was just fine, not short on food for now. She just wanted to quietly wait, thinking that when one day there was no food left, she would rather die here.
Going outside and encountering zombies, being torn apart, would definitely be painful.
Going outside and encountering bad people would definitely result in a battered body without dignity. With bad luck, she might end up being attacked by multiple people at once. Thinking of that scenario, she felt it was better to die here.
At that mont.
She heard a noise coming from outside.
She peeked quietly.
"There are actually other survivors around ," Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised.
She had hidden here up until now and had not noticed any survivors. Thinking of the door downstairs, she breathed a sigh of relief, glad it was closed; otherwise, her cake shop would definitely be the top choice for survivors.
She noticed the group of survivors, n and won, all looking haggard, running into a store and frantically moving items like bandits.
Then they left hastily, as if afraid of being discovered by zombies.
As they passed the cake shop, one of the survivors pointed at her shop and said sothing to the person next to them, but apparently, they couldn’t agree, and they quickly ran off.
Su Xiaoxiao hid fearfully.
She kept thinking.
Have I been discovered?
Her biggest fear was having contact with these survivors; at least, all the apocalyptic novels she read told her that human hearts are unpredictable, and no one can be trusted.
...
At that mont.
A steel behemoth quietly parked by the roadside.
As the clock tower erupted with noise.
Wave after wave of zombies erged from all directions, running towards the clock tower.
"Boss, you thought of a great thod. From now on, every day at noon will be our good opportunity to scavenge for supplies," Xu Zeyang said with a smile.
The boss said, "This thod might not always work."
Xu Zeyang understood the boss’s thoughts; if even slightly intelligent zombies were present, they would soon realize that this was a trap set by humans.
As wave after wave of zombies ran towards the clock tower,
They confird there were no more zombies around.
"Quick, act now, we only have two minutes to gather supplies. Take as much as we can," the boss said.
They risked repairing the clock in the tower, not just for themselves, but also to offer a glimpse of hope to other survivors.
Confronting zombies head-on,
Was not a wise choice.
Zombies are too frightening; first, the insane look of the zombies induces fear, then the painless biting; a slight carelessness can result in being bitten, and once bitten, there truly was no more chance.
They had seen situations where people were bitten by zombies.
They would turn into zombies in an extrely short period of ti; the speed of this transformation was too fast, terrifyingly fast.
...
At the bell tower.
Uncountable zombies gathered there.
All zombies that could hear the bell were attracted to it.
How far could the bell sound travel?
For the entire city, the number of zombies here was rely a drop in the ocean.
The zombies snarled fiercely, extending their arms, grabbing towards the source of the sound; the bell was sounding from above, and this group of zombies could only stare helplessly.
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, within the zombie flood, a robust zombie, like a human-shaped tank, waved its massive arms randomly. With every swing, a group of zombies was sent flying, forcibly tearing open a path.
This zombie was as huge as a small hill.
It belonged to the special zombies.
Its head was swollen, and as it looked at the bell tower making noise, it leaped upward, climbing swiftly like a spider, ferociously roaring as it randomly punched the bell, severely destroying it.
Roar!
The giant zombie roared.
With each roar, the masses of zombies followed, the roars thunderous and deafening. Without the influence of the bell, the gathered zombies began dispersing in all directions.
In the distance, on the rooftop of a building.
"Such a terrifying zombie. With that kind of climbing and destructive power, it’s simply unbeatable," a man with a buzz cut, holding a telescope, observed the situation at the distant bell tower. As soon as the bell rang, the surrounding zombies surged towards it. They knew it was the best mont to search for supplies.
His na was Gu Hang, a soldier who had co ho to visit his family. He had spent nine years in the military, becoming a third-class sergeant. Who could have thought that just a few days after returning ho, the so-called apocalypse would occur?
Zombies from movies and TV shows had appeared.
This shocked him.
As the zombies continuously retreated, he quietly left the rooftop.
The elevator was blocked by a stool, and the staircase entrance was also blocked by various pieces of furniture in case of an ergency. This was an unavoidable situation.
Back inside the house.
Gu Hang looked at the powerless survivors sitting there. As he appeared, the group of survivors looked at him with hope. He was the only soldier here, and in these monts, he was like the backbone for these survivors.
There were five survivors, including himself and four won, plus one other male survivor.
One of the female survivors was pregnant, and the other male survivor was the woman’s husband.
Originally, there were a few other survivors here.
But due to disagreents, they had parted ways. As for their situation now, no one knew.
"Brother Gu, how is it?" the man asked.
Gu Hang shook his head, "Not too good. The bell must have been rung by other survivors to attract the zombies, but it was quickly destroyed by the zombies. How’s your younger sister doing? Is her stomach still hurting?"
The man replied, "Much better, but she feels like she’s going to give birth in the next few days. I’m afraid... I..."
Gu Hang patted the man’s shoulder, speaking gravely, "Don’t worry, I’m here."
Beyond saying that, he had no other solution.
Now that it was the apocalypse, it was definitely not possible to go to a hospital for childbirth, and giving birth here was even more dangerous. Making noise could surely attract zombies, and then there were issues like bleeding... What then?
The man lowered his head. Although Gu Hang’s words seed to reassure him, he knew it was a dangerous situation. Maybe his wife might actually die.
The other three female survivors comforted them.
Why had they decided to stay here?
Firstly, because of their trust in Gu Hang, which was a kind of trust in a soldier.
The group of leaving survivors asked them to go along, claiming that staying near a pregnant woman ant not knowing how they could die.
But they didn’t leave.
Because from the eyes of that group of survivors, they saw overtly aggressive intentions.
They were afraid.
They’d rather stay here than follow them.
"You guys wait here, I’ll go out and find so things," Gu Hang said as he looked at the pregnant woman, pondering for a mont before deciding to go out and find supplies, just in case.
"Brother Gu, let accompany you."
"No need, you stay and take care of them. I’m fitter than you, so if there’s danger, I can escape by climbing."
Gu Hang smiled.
