Zombie Apocalypse - Chapter 278
Chapter 0278 It Used to Be Called the Apocalyptic Land
The wind blew across Dongding Island with the aura of the sea. This was the first time Qin An discovered that the smell of the sea was so good.
At this moment, he and Xiao Ru were sitting at the highest point of the island, on a large rock.
The basalt landform of Dongding Island was very beautiful. Before the apocalypse, according to Little Ru, it was very famous, but Qin An had never heard of this place.
Sitting here, he could vaguely see the appearance of the continent and the setting sun.
Watching the sunset on the sea, there was something special about it.
Qin An did not find any clothes in the houses, so he could only make a black printed sheet to cover the area below his waist. It looked like he was wearing a long skirt.
After a period of cushioning, the awkward atmosphere between him and Xiao Ru had disappeared. He was not Brother Chu, and Xiao Ru’s mind was clearly no different from an adult’s.
The two of them tacitly chose to forget about the incident of Qin An leaving naked, and neither of them mentioned it.
Looking at the faint red full sun floating on the western continent, Qin An sighed and said, “What should we do now? We are trapped! Damn it, why is it so difficult to walk in the apocalypse? I don’t know how many times I’ve been trapped!”
Little Ru’s expression was calm. For some reason, her face was flushed red. After Qin An finished speaking, she said a few minutes later, “When I came up earlier, I found that there were small crabs underneath the rocks by the sea. In winter, the crabs could not grow. They were really small, but they could satisfy our hunger!” Also, we found traces of salt fish in the seashore. I think those strange fish that eat human beings don’t eat salt fish, probably because their meat is too salty! Aren’t they fed on salt in the sea? In that case, we’ll have food and water, and we might be able to hold on for a while! ”
Qin An said angrily, “Then what happened after that? You’ve been trapped here all this time?”
Little Ru shrugged his seemingly weak shoulders and shook his head, “What else can we do?”
After she finished her sentence, the two of them fell into a state of silence.
When the sun was already covered by the red clouds in the west, Qin An blurred his eyes and broke his silence, “I have never found that nature is so beautiful! Calm sea, azure color; floating clouds, dyed the horizon red! Can fire and clouds appear at sunset in this winter?”
Xiao Ru said, “Perhaps you can’t see it on the continent! Colors are the colors that light refracts into your eyes. Naturally, the colors you see in different places are different as well!”
Qin An turned his head to look at Little Ru and found that the faint traces left behind by the wounds on her body had also disappeared! Her skin became tender and fair again.
After being stunned for a while, Qin An said, “Little Ru, I was trapped on this island because of you, and I saved your life twice!” No, it should be said three times. If I hadn’t followed you in Bluesea City and escaped before the sailors surrounded you, opening a gap, you probably wouldn’t have escaped! Although you have special abilities, you also said that they are all professional soldiers with excellent weapons. Once they are besieged, you will be very dangerous. That’s why I saved you three times! Then can you satisfy my curiosity? ”
Xiao Ru smiled and looked at Qin An pretending to be puzzled, “What kind of curiosity?”
Qin An frowned and said, “Are you pretending to be stupid? What else can you be! Of course, tell me, why are you growing up so young, yet giving people the feeling of an adult?”
Little Ru smiled and said, “Everyone should have a secret! This is my biggest secret, no one in this world knows it yet! Do you think I should tell you?”
When Qin An heard what Little Ru said, he was so angry that he said arrogantly, “If you don’t say it, then don’t say it! Do you think I really want to know? I really don’t understand, why do you women like to keep secrets in your heart so much!”
After saying those words, Qin An thought of Weng Die! She was the woman who had the most secrets around her!
After thinking nonsense for a while, Qin An’s irritability did not lessen. He could only continue to speak to the only person beside him.
“Then tell me where you came from?”
This sentence was just an unconscious casual question from Qin An. He didn’t expect Xiao Ru to tell him the truth at all.
Little Ru still had a faint smile on his face as he said calmly, “I’m from the Land of Doom!”
Qin An repeated doubtfully, “Doomsday Land?”
What kind of place is that? Why had he never heard of it?
Xiao Ru sighed and said,
“Fuhai Province near Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, there is a relatively large city, called Jianghai City.
In the north of Jianghai City, there were two passageways to the sea from the Yellow River. One was called the Gutian River, and the other was called the Qingyuan River!
The two waters intersected, forming a delta in the northernmost part of Fuhai Province! It was under development before the apocalypse, with some scenic spots and villas. It could be considered a suburb of Jianghai City!
After the apocalypse, the delta became a refuge for people. Because of the protection of the Gutian River and Qingyuan River, the zombies could not pass through. The bridges that entered the delta were blocked by people. This made the delta a very safe place!
At the beginning of the apocalypse, there were more than 300,000 people gathered in the delta, and there were over a hundred gathering places of all sizes!
Among these gathering places, there were two that were the strongest.
There is a mountain in the north of the delta called Qingyuan Mountain. This mountain is not high, but it covers a wide area, and the forest on the mountain is luxuriant.
At the edge of the mountain, there was originally a villa area inhabited by foreigners. Later, they built a huge fence there and named it Myriad Kingdom City!
Because this city had gathered some mutants, it was very powerful.
In the southwest of the delta, there is another big city called Wangyou City. This city controlled an important passage into and out of the delta. There were a total of six bridges to and from the delta, but five of them were zombie areas on the other side of the bridge and were impassable. Behind Wuyou City, there was a bridge with a relatively high terrain on the other side. There were very few zombies, so it became the only way into and out of the delta! “This allowed Worry-free City to obtain more supplies and weapons, so it became another gathering place with great strength.”
Hearing this, Qin An’s expression sank. He finally heard Wanguo City’s name again! Now, as long as he crossed twenty nautical miles, he would be able to enter Fuhai Province. In other words, he shouldn’t be too far away from Wanguo City, right?
Little Ru continued,
“The world is inhumane, people are also inhumane!
Although Myriad Kingdom City and Forgotten Worry City possessed decent strength, they did not have the heart to help the weak.
Forgotten Worry City put its interests first, and Myriad Kingdom City enjoyed slaughter!
Because of the existence of these two cities, the lives of the people living in other gathering places in the delta region were full of tribulations!
In order to resist the invasion of the two cities, the other settlements could only slowly merge. In the beginning, including Myriad Kingdom City and Forgotten Worry City, there were thirteen cities in the delta!
Afterwards, the city war started intensely. In order to compete for limited resources, the thirteen cities had no choice but to fight each other.
With the passage of time, the thirteen cities became seven cities, and finally three large cities!
In that case, apart from Myriad Kingdom City and Forgotten Worry City, the third city was Smoke City!
In fact, the main purpose of this Smoke City was to fight against Wanguo City! Many of the people in the city, their families, and friends had died at the hands of the people in Myriad Kingdom City. This made the conflict between the people of Smoke City and Wanguo City irreconcilable!
And Wangyou City would occasionally join the battle between the two cities. This was naturally for the sake of resources.
Right now, Myriad Kingdom City had nearly 30,000 people, Smoke City had 50,000 people, and Worry Forgotten City had 70,000 people!
In other words, less than two years after the apocalypse, even though the delta region hadn’t suffered much damage from zombies, half of its population had died!
This was all caused by people fighting each other!
“This delta was originally a place for people to hide from the apocalypse, but now it is even more dangerous than the apocalypse. Therefore, the people living in it gave it a name that symbolizes bad luck. It is the apocalypse!”
That’s why!
Qin An sighed deeply. It sounded nothing, but thinking about it was really sad.
They weren’t harmed by the zombies. Just fighting between people caused more than half of them to die. In the apocalypse, there was sorrow everywhere!
Ruyan City! This should be where Liu Xia went, right?
Thinking of that beautiful and charming girl, Qin An’s heart beat slightly.
Her image suddenly appeared in his mind.
She was smiling at herself and then said, Qin An! What would you do if I really knelt in front of you and begged you to pamper me?
Qin An was stunned for a long time, but he felt that his face was slightly hot.
He shook his head forcefully and waved Liu Xia’s image away from his mind. Afterwards, he began to be annoyed. The apocalyptic land seemed to be not far away, but he was trapped in this apocalyptic island!
How do we get out of here?
After falling into silence again, Qin An was worried, while Xiao Ru had a lonely expression on her face.
The sun disappeared from the continental baseline and night arrived.
The night breeze was very strong, and the waves slammed against the rocks, releasing bursts of rumbling sounds.
There were no beaches on the coast of Dongding Island, only rocks. The surging waves lifted up many fish in the sea water and rushed ashore together. The sea water left, but the fish stayed behind.
Qin An’s super hearing was turned on, and he could hear everything clearly. This meant that this island was really small.
Since he was unable to leave, he could only stay on the island for the sake of today’s plan.
It was an attitude that should exist in the apocalypse. Only in this way could one’s heart be calm.
Little Ru finally told Qin An.
She came from Ruyan City. During the duel with one of the nine commanders of Myriad Kingdom City, she was chased all the way down the Gutian River before finally escaping. However, she escaped to the other side, near the Jianghai City. She encountered another D3 jumping zombie. She was chased all the way and ran for more than ten days before entering Dongshan Island. Finally, she met Xiaoliang at the seaside.
Hearing that, Qin An sighed slightly. A D3 level jumping zombie had also appeared. This was not strange. Qin An had seen three D3 giant zombies with his own eyes. In other words, the mutated zombies had already evolved to D3 level. In the future, the path of apocalypse would be even more difficult to walk!
Ai, I only hope that Lan Yue and the others will be able to escape to a safe place in the end!
