Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 34 Bugs
After she and Jiang Shi'an worked together to deal with the zombie, they identified the culprit that caused her abnormal condition.

That's the bald zombie that just crawled into the yard!

It seems to interfere with her talent.

More and more zombies gathered outside, crawling in one on top of another; they might also be related to it.

Song Jinhe raised her pistol and fired several shots in quick succession. The bald zombie ran very fast, so she threw a Molotov cocktail to block its path and then shot it in the head.

A bullet hole appeared in the zombie's head, and pus and blood splattered everywhere, yet it still didn't die.

An oppressive feeling crept into Song Jinhe's heart as the zombies approached and the situation became chaotic. Facing a zombie that could suppress her talents, she had no advantage whatsoever.

Calm down, these are all experiences from expanding your space! She is the hunter.

Taking a deep breath, Song Jinhe was filled with energy again, and the way she looked at the zombies changed.

She threw two more Molotov cocktails at the wall, then grabbed her weapon and went downstairs.

I thought the power of the Molotov cocktail would be greatly reduced in this environment, but it burned exceptionally well.

Song Jinhe glanced in Jiang Shi'an's direction. The fog was floating water vapor, which he had drawn away with his talent.

The burning zombie fell from the wall. Jiang Shi'an raised his hand and fired a shot. Then, he and Song Jinhe surrounded the bald zombie from the left and right.

Cheng Yan, who was initially worried, twitched upon seeing this scene.

I've seen zombies surround humans before, but I've never seen two people rush out to surround zombies.
The reality was not so optimistic. The closer Song Jinhe got to the bald zombie, the more uncomfortable she felt. This zombie was also particularly difficult to kill.

They are practically the meat shields of the zombie world.

However, the zombies couldn't catch her. Long before her eyes could even see its movements, Song Jinhe could react using her natural talent.

The damp air mixed with the stench made it hard for her to breathe. Song Jinhe's arms tensed up, and while Jiang Shi'an was holding back the bald zombie, she quickly took out a wooden stake from her spatial storage and placed it there.

They lured the zombies here to surround and kill them.

Seeing the bald zombie running towards her, Song Jinhe endured the discomfort and waited until the zombie was close enough before jumping to the side. This time, the zombie pounced on the wooden stake. Jiang Shi'an, who had arrived from behind, kicked it again, firmly pinning it to the stake.

Song Jinhe rushed over to grab the finishing blow and fired several shots at the zombie's head, finally putting it to rest.

"Why didn't you shoot it just now?" She noticed Jiang Shi'an lowering his gun as she came over.

"You look like you really want to kill it." Jiang Shi'an's lips pursed slightly, his eyes carrying a faint smile.

With the special zombies dead, the other zombies are much easier to deal with. The walls are sturdy enough, and they have supplies. As long as they hold the house, they can survive.

However, the firepower was depleted faster than expected. Molotov cocktails and bullets were used alternately, and the zombies gradually disappeared after several hours of fighting.

They fought a war that brought them wealth, but it nearly wiped out their entire fortune.

She and Jiang Shi'an originally planned to go into the city to stock up on supplies for later use, but as expected, plans don't always go as expected.

The good news is that the bald zombie has a higher weight than the screaming zombie we encountered before, and with the wall-climbing zombie added to the total space, it suddenly became 25 square meters.

Song Jinhe was very satisfied with the expansion speed, considering that the initial area was only 15 square meters.

The fog hadn't lifted, making it difficult to go out and clean up the corpses. The sounds of zombies could still be heard outside. Song Jinhe took off her old zombie-fighting clothes and collapsed onto the sofa. Meanwhile, not far away, a chaotic battle was still raging at Villa No. 2.

The courtyard was full of zombies, and everyone was putting up a desperate fight, their hands and bodies covered in zombie blood.

A flickering light and faint gunshots appeared in the thick fog. Almost exhausted, Qi Sixing stared in horror, trying to make out what was happening.
"Damn it, they can still use fire attacks in this weather, just how many supplies do they have! Can't they use them all?"

They also make Molotov cocktails, but supplies are limited, and those few bottles were long gone. As for bullets, Zhuang Ting only found a dozen or so bullets when he searched the police station.

Where did they get such good supplies? Qi Sixing was so envious that he screamed and crawled in the shadows. He couldn't even imagine how comfortable it must be over there.

Zhao Huiyun narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe that someone with talent could obtain so many supplies and fight zombies head-on.

Moreover, the other party should know where supplies can be found.

-

With the threat of the zombie horde resolved, new problems arose.

Zhang Yi's health hadn't improved. Although the discomfort caused by this environment wasn't fatal, it was still unpleasant. Song Jinhe cooked millet porridge for her and told her to rest well.

Outside, all that could be heard was silence, broken only by the faint 'hoarse' sounds of zombies. The corpses were decomposing rapidly in the damp environment. They moved all the corpses from the yard outside, but the stench of decay lingered in the air, making Song Jinhe and Cheng Yan feel uncomfortable.

But Cheng Yan was particularly excited at this moment. Wearing a mask, he and Jiang Shi'an opened the zombie's skull in a corner of the yard.

"I've made something of myself! I can actually participate in research of this level! If it were in the past..." Cheng Yan sighed, realizing that the past was no longer relevant.

“The evolution speed of zombies seems to be faster than that of humans.” Song Jinhe looked at Jiang Shi’an, who was wearing a mask but whose delicate eyebrows and eyes were visible.

“Wu City has a population of over two million, and the number of zombies is far greater than that of humans. The probability of encountering special zombies is also much higher than that of gifted individuals,” Jiang Shi’an said calmly. “Moreover, they are more adaptable to the environment.”

That's for sure. Even a gifted person would die if they stayed in the water for a month, but a zombie could walk out.

"The zombie that can affect your talent usage has a different brain structure. Eating a talent user may prompt it to continue evolving."

That's right. More powerful zombies will appear in the future. Song Jinhe has only heard of them, but has never seen them.

The next day, the corpses inside and outside the yard were severely decomposed. In addition to extremely large maggots, there were also things that looked like leeches, and mushrooms had grown on them.

Jiang Shi'an's frowning expression likely reflected his regret at not having the equipment to conduct the research. Seeing him pick up the leech-like creature with tweezers, Song Jinhe felt a chill run down her spine and took two steps back.

The psychological effect made her feel itchy all over her body, as if something was crawling on her.

She looked down at her feet to make sure she didn't have anything like that around her. She was going to burn some mugwort leaves to disinfect and sterilize later.

Seeing the expression on her face as she clutched the gasoline and gritted her teeth, Jiang Shi'an paused for a moment before realizing what she meant. "Are you scared?"

"I have a psychological aversion to these things. When I was a child, I heard that someone drank well water and swallowed leeches, and then his belly burst out full of leeches."

"Burn it with fire first, and clean it up after the fog clears." Jiang Shi'an took the gasoline from her hand, lit it, and used his talent to extract water so that the fire could burn.

"It's alright. In the past, the stories you heard were made up to scare people. Leeches could get stuck in your throat, but now, with mutated creatures, it's definitely possible."

"..." Song Jinhe took a deep breath. "Don't say anything more."

Happy Lantern Festival everyone!
It was in the twenties here a couple of days ago, but suddenly it dropped to a few degrees, and there was sleet too. It's wet and cold QAQ
