From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 225
Chapter 225 Forgotten Town
A convoy of eighteen cars poured down from the mountain road like a long dragon. The leading cars were all modified and crashed into the living corpses on the road without fear. The convoy quickly left the mountain road and directly entered a potholed mountain road.
Dong ~
A zombie slammed into the front of the car and lay on the window. It slammed the protective net on the windshield frantically, desperately trying to tear it apart. However, Yan Qing, who was on the passenger seat, suddenly lit up the flashlight and aimed it directly at the zombie’s face.
“Husband! Something’s wrong, why did the living corpse become like this …”
Yan Qing frowned deeply. Although the living corpse on the car window did not change in shape, its entire body was as disgusting as if it had been burned by boiling water. Not only did its skin wrinkle like plastic skin, there were also many dense blisters like toads, large and small, crowded together. Occasionally, one or two of them would burst out with pus, causing one’s scalp to go numb with a single glance.
“This might really be a radiation injury. I wonder if there is a nuclear power plant nearby …”
Chen Guangda suddenly shook the steering wheel. The living corpse immediately tilted its body and fell, But in the blink of an eye, it jumped up from the roadside and continued to chase after the convoy desperately. Its speed seemed to be much faster than ordinary zombies. Liu Sha, who was in the back row, handed over a mobile phone and said, “There is indeed a nuclear power station in the southwest, and it is less than 90 kilometers away from us. If the nuclear power station really explodes, we will be in great danger!”
“Fuck! So close …”
Chen Guangda was shocked. He hurriedly took out his phone map and looked at it carefully. He immediately discovered that Liu Sha said that the distance was only 90 kilometers. The distance in a straight line was probably less than 70 kilometers. Furthermore, they were now heading straight for the nuclear power station.
“Everyone, follow me closely and don’t fall behind. Close the car window tightly and switch to the inner circulation mode. There’s a nuclear power plant ahead that might explode. We need to guard against nuclear radiation …”
Chen Guangda immediately switched to the walkie-talkie and gave the order. He hurriedly turned towards the southeast. In fact, they really had to thank those “coal owners” for their sudden appearance. Otherwise, they might directly charge into the radiation zone. No one dared to guarantee what would happen at that time.
“Heavens! What is this floating …”
When the convoy was completely out of the mountains, Suddenly, cotton-like black gray floated into the sky. It was like a gentle heavy snow. Very quickly, the car window was dyed black gray. On the walkie-talkie, Xiaowei’s voice rang out, “These are probably the ashes from the nuclear explosion. We need to leave this area quickly!”
“I’m not going to rest tonight …”
Chen Guangda said as he pinched the walkie-talkie and increased his speed once more. This huge “black snow” took them more than half an hour to completely escape. The hour hand also pointed to midnight, but without the guidance of GPS, their speed was not fast at all. Just checking the signboard on the roadside was very laborious.
“Creak ~”
More than an hour later, the leading BMW X6 suddenly stopped at a downhill place. Chen Guangda directly jumped off the car with a short spear. His eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly. He slowly walked to a collapsed road sign and gently wiped it with his foot. The ashen road sign immediately revealed its true appearance.
“Mining Town …”
Chen Guangda glanced at the handwriting on the road sign and took out a map to check. From the map, this small town was not big, but it was like a tentacle stretching out from the city. It stood alone in a wilderness. Apart from a large number of mines, there was not even a decent small village around it.
“There seems to be no living corpse …”
Zhu Fei walked up with his gun. Although he could not see the situation in the small town, he could not see the shadow of a living corpse on the road. Chen Guang waved his hand and said, “Let’s go over first and see. It’s not a good idea to run around in the dark!”
“Kala ~”
Zhu Fei pulled on the bolt and followed him forward. Behind them, Chen Quan and the others also jumped out of the car one after another, following behind them in a fan-shaped manner. The convoy also followed behind them slowly. The group of people quickly climbed over the top of the slope and looked down. They discovered that this was not a traditional rural town. There were at least dozens of standard residential buildings.
“Why aren’t there any living corpses …”
Zhu Fei raised his flashlight in surprise and shone downwards. The town did not seem to be much different from an ordinary residential area. Everything was the same as it was when the disaster occurred. Crashed cars and battery cars were everywhere. There were traces of fire and blood that had dried up and turned black in many places. However, there were only a few living corpses that should not have disappeared.
“Perhaps there are still people alive here, maybe they cleaned up the living corpses …”
Chen Guangda frowned slightly, but he still continued to walk down with the short spear. The small town was obviously attacked by the “black snow”. Thick ashes were piled up on the roof and in the corner. However, there was an indescribable loneliness and gloom on the empty street. Without the most common living corpses to join in the fun, they were not used to it.
The facilities in the town look more modern, Pedicure, SPA, and even Internet cafes were available, but the surrounding buildings seemed to have some history. They were obviously the products of the early 1980s. It wasn’t until they saw the “staff bathhouse” and the “staff hall” that they finally understood that this was actually a dormitory area for mine staff. After decades of development, it gradually evolved into a small town like this.
“Bang ~”
Chen Guangda suddenly shot out, directly shattering a large piece of glass. The eardrums of the people shook so much that they felt pain. However, all the warriors immediately shrank to one piece. They stared at every corner with their backs leaning against each other. If there were any monsters or living corpses hiding nearby, they would definitely be attracted by the sound.
“It’s very quiet! There’s not a single sound …”
Yang Hao, who was holding the black bow, gently shook his head. Apart from the sound of the engine running, he could not even hear a single noise. However, everyone patiently waited for about ten minutes. After nothing unusual happened, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“I guess the zombies here were swept away by the zombie tide …”
Chen Guangda put down his gun and waved his hand at the back. More than a dozen cars quickly drove over. A large group of young ladies jumped down and excitedly sized up the town that belonged to them. Liu Sha ran up excitedly and said, “Master!” “Hurry up and find a way to contact the convoy. This place is great. The surroundings are full of fecal mines. As long as the fence is built, it will be another resettlement camp!”
“Don’t be happy too early, wait until dawn before you carefully observe …”
Chen Guang laughed loudly and waved his hand. He directly led the few people to the supermarket ahead. A group of little women followed him with flattery. The gate of the supermarket was still pulled, and the things inside were still well preserved. When Chen Guang Da’s spear pierced through the lock on the gate and pulled it open, everyone cheered in unison.
“Wow! This time, you’re so rich …”
Wang Dafu’s eyes lit up like a searchlight. He directly pounced into the supermarket. However, the things in the supermarket were not scattered at all. They were completely in the same state as before. The dazzling variety of goods caused the blood of humans and beasts to boil. Everyone immediately rushed in like a swarm of bees.
“You can eat and drink anything you want, but you can only take it away with our consent. Especially some precious materials. Otherwise, it will be treated as theft …”
Yan Qing walked in with her chest growing fuller and fuller. She directly jumped onto the cashier’s desk and shouted loudly. However, this did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm at all. A bunch of little ladies were even more bold than men. They directly tore the food packaging bags and poured them into their mouths. There were also many who rushed to the underwear counter. They took whatever bra was the most fancy.
“Do you understand the rules? Put it down for me …”
Liu Sha suddenly shouted, She suddenly snatched a box of skin care products from Xia Fei’s hand. Chen Guangda’s brain exploded at a glance. If he didn’t stop them, he would definitely fight again on the spot. However, Yan Qing was very understanding and pulled the two of them away. She stuffed the skin care products into Xia Fei’s hand and said, “Since you are Zhu Fei’s person, there must be a portion of the things here, but you have to tell me no matter what!”
“Uh ~”
Xia Fei unconsciously opened her mouth but did not say anything. However, Yan Qing gently patted her little face and walked away. Xia Fei immediately glared fiercely at Chen Guangda. Just as she wanted to rush up and cause trouble for him, Chen Guangda suddenly looked at Bai Lan and asked in surprise, “What happened to your hair? Why did it burn like this?”
“I… I accidentally made it myself. It wasn’t someone else who burned it…”
Bai Lan sobbed and wiped away the tears on her face, but then looked at Xia Fei with tears in her eyes. Chen Guangda immediately understood what was going on. He looked at Xia Fei speechlessly and patted Bai Lan’s shoulder, saying, “It’s fine! Your short hair should also look good. You should hurry up and pick out some clothes to wear. You can take whatever you want here.”
“Thank you, brother!”
Bai Lan nodded in grievance. Suddenly, she saw that her surroundings hadn’t noticed them. She actually stood on tiptoe and sweetly kissed Chen Guangda on the face. Then, she ran to the counter shyly and took out a box of skin care products exactly like Xia Fei. Under Chen Guangda’s signal, Liu Sha didn’t bother her at all.
“Humph ~ Dog man and woman! Shameless …”
Xia Fei smashed the skin care product in her hand angrily. Suddenly, she rushed past Chen Guangda and punched him hard in the stomach. However, Chen Guangda laughed bitterly and watched Xia Fei run out of the door angrily. He rubbed his belly and laughed lascivious, “Little Pink Ear, let me see where you’re going! Hehe ~”
“Chen Guangda! Hurry up and come to the General Assembly Hall …”
Before he could finish laughing, the voice of Xiaowei suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his waist. Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and rushed diagonally opposite. However, there was no figure of Xiaowei outside the hall. However, there was a shaking flashlight in a collapsed door.
“Biao Biao! What’s the situation …”
Ever since Xiaowei called him here, he definitely wouldn’t be in love. Chen Guangda jumped up the stairs and ran into the auditorium. However, he was stunned before Xiao Wei could speak. His hair stood on end, and he saw that there were hundreds of corpses hanging in the auditorium. They were like grape skewers hanging all over the roof. A huge stench almost made people vomit.
“How could this be? Who hanged them …”
Chen Guangda took out a flashlight with a serious expression. These corpses had obviously been hanged for a long time, but the maggots on their bodies were enough to prove that they did not undergo any corpse transformation. However, Cong Xiaowei suddenly shone to the side and pointed at the firmly nailed doors and said, “If I’m not mistaken, they should have committed suicide collectively!”
“What? Group suicide?” Chen Guangda’s expression suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
