Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 65 Defending Together

"There are more than a dozen coming. Try not to fire."

"What should we do? Go down in the rain and deal with them?" Qi Sixing glanced outside with a distorted expression.

Well, being bald is better than being cold, anyway, nobody cares about appearance in the apocalypse.

With such strong winds, arrows are likely to miss. We should hurry down and deal with these zombies to avoid further trouble.

"Last time I brought back a protective mask, so I'll protect my eyes first."

Song Jinhe backed the car to the gate, quickly took out two masks, and had Zhang Yi put them on.

"We can help!" Kang Feng's excited voice rang out.

His companions, including Qiu Ling, all expressed their willingness to contribute.

"Okay, these are your weapons from before." Zhao Huiyun placed the items in front of them.

The four of them knew that this was their only chance, so they only took simple precautions and endured the zombies rushing towards them without retreating.

Their methods of dealing with zombies were not particularly skillful; they could only kill one zombie by cooperating, and they were clearly overwhelmed when there were many zombies around.

Song Jinhe chose to get out of the car because she saw that Qiu Ling and the others were not faking it, but genuinely wanted to help clear the zombies. If they just watched, all four of them would die here.

The heavy rain didn't affect her, but for others, the rain obstructed their view, making it even more difficult for them to move around.

"what!!!"

One of the four men had his throat bitten open by a zombie, and his trachea came out.

All I could see in that gloomy world was his miserable screams and the terrified, pained look on his companion's face.

It looks just like a black and white silent film.

Uncle Li, who is over fifty years old, also picked up a crowbar to help and saved Kang Feng from being bitten.

Zhang Yi had just dealt with one zombie when another suddenly rushed out from behind her. She couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground along with the zombie.

"Zhang Yi!"

Song Jinhe's voice was drowned out by the mask, but she raised her gun without hesitation.

The next second, Qi Sixing, who was also wearing a mask, grabbed the zombie, dragged it behind him, and then stabbed it in the head. He then helped Zhang Yi up and gave Song Jinhe a gesture that everything was alright.

Song Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief, put the gun back at her waist, turned around and quickly stepped forward, killing the zombie that had bitten the man with a single blow.

Then, while they were at it, they also dealt with the dead man to prevent him from turning into a zombie. After that, they covered him with the zombie corpse to mask the smell of blood.

Fortunately, there weren't many zombies that had changed course, and with Zhuang Ting and Qi Sixing's help, they managed to take care of all the zombies in just over ten minutes.

“If you had fired just now, everyone would have been in trouble,” Zhao Huiyun said, before finally taking action.

"So what?" Song Jinhe threw off her ruined mask and raincoat. She wasn't a saint, so saving her companions was of course more important.

"You were planning to stop me from behind, weren't you? Luckily you didn't have time to make a move, and luckily my companion is alright." A cold glint flashed in Song Jinhe's eyes.

Otherwise, one of them would have to die today for things to be settled.

Zhuang Ting spoke up before Zhao Huiyun could, "Why don't we all rest for a bit? The rain hasn't stopped yet, and the danger hasn't gone far."

"Thank you." Zhang Yi put down her weapon and thanked Qi Sixing.

She was no longer the survivor who would cry from fear of zombies; she quickly calmed down after nearly dying in their jaws.

"You're welcome." Qi Sixing smiled. Song Jinhe had saved him several times already, so it was only right that they lend a hand to each other.

Uncle Li sighed as he looked at the man's corpse outside. After this incident, he couldn't let these people go. The rain shower came and went quickly; once the moisture evaporated, the air became stuffy and uncomfortable, carrying a pungent smell.

The trees in the green belt had lost a lot of leaves from the rain, but there were far fewer leeches in the weeds.

The group began to burn the bodies, then transported them away in pickup trucks and disposed of them. Qiu Ling and her companions were buried in a designated area. Burning the bodies before burying them was the most dignified way to bury them in the apocalypse.

The temperature required for cremation is very high, and it would take a very long time to burn ashes using this primitive method.

Qiu Ling and the other two were eventually assigned to the second floor of a row of 12 townhouses. Nowadays, many people in the villa area live together, which makes it easier to arrange accommodations in case of emergencies.

Of course, their weapons had to be handed over temporarily. Zhao Yanzhou and Uncle Li lived next to Building 12 and could keep an eye on them.

When Song Jinhe returned home and saw the badly damaged ornamental tree in the yard, she was glad that the potatoes had been placed under the eaves and hadn't gotten wet in the rain.

The raincoats she and Zhang Yi wore had an unpleasant smell, but they looked usable enough that it would be a waste to throw them away, so they put them in a basket and left them outside.

The daytime high has already reached 20 degrees Celsius.

The seeds that were placed in the public supplies had already grown into more than a dozen corn seedlings by the planting team organized by Uncle Li, but this time only four were salvaged.

They dug this out in the rain, and then each household found flower pots and soil to plant the flowers.

Song Jinhe was repairing the roadblocks they had set up with a hammer. The faucet by the well had been rained on and was now rusty overnight, so it needed to be replaced.

It took several more days of mending and patching.

The man next to her, watching Song Jinhe hammering nails, silently took a step back; she really had a lot of strength.
"Is my sister Jinhe in a bad mood lately?" Qi Sixing didn't move his legs, but leaned his upper body next to Zhang Yi with a gossipy expression.

"It's...okay." Zhang Yi pursed her lips.

It's been ten days and she still hasn't come back; she must be worried.

Inside Wu City.

Gu Huai looked at the mountain of corpses piled up on the ground and breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Finally escaped. I will never go into a place like this again. That medicine really didn't work?"

Jiang Shi'an put the bag of ammunition into the trunk. "It's not even a semi-finished product. The last person who volunteered to participate in the experiment, simply put, had their genes broken and recombined. This process is unimaginably painful. In the end, the body still dies, becoming an even more powerful zombie. A group of people died because of this."

"The extra few days I spent in the test area were to clear them out. If you really took these things out, a lot of people would die."

So he deleted the relevant information a long time ago.

"Of course I believe you."

Gu Huai said regretfully, "I have to rush back this time, otherwise I'd better go see my sister-in-law. Back then, so many girls couldn't get you, and now that it's the apocalypse, I'm even a little worried that she's not human but a zombie."

As he was speaking, he saw Jiang Shi'an's gaze and immediately shut up.

I'm relieved now; they're alive, not zombies.

"I'm leaving." Jiang Shi'an left those words, closed the car door, and drove away.

"Hey, what's the rush?" Gu Huai turned his head and only saw the car's taillights speeding away.

Once the weather improves, the existing solar panels can be used again. Although there aren't enough of them to generate much electricity, it's better than nothing.

Today it was Song Jinhe's turn to go out and scout the situation. They haven't been going out to look for supplies lately. They take turns going out every two or three days to see if there are any moving hordes of zombies in the vicinity.

Song Jinhe always manages to loot things when she comes out; she never comes empty-handed.

I'd like to take a break today and only update one chapter. I'll update as usual tomorrow. I'll try to update more frequently later when I have more time.
