Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 87 Viaduct Track

Song Jinhe and Jiang Shi'an were waiting in a cave next to the mountain. Song Jinhe was too lazy to walk back and forth in such heavy rain, so she simply stayed here.

We can also start a fire and fry some bread slices to eat.

"Qi Sixing is staying home alone. Is it really appropriate for us to be frying bread slices here?"

"What's wrong with it?" Jiang Shi'an asked calmly and confidently.

Song Jinhe drizzled honey on the golden-brown fried bread slices. The fragrant and sweet taste made her feel no more guilty.

"Give him two more cold steamed buns when we get back." Song Jinhe took out some juice, poured two glasses, and chugdled them down.

The steamed buns and pancakes that had been sitting in her space for a long time, which were a pity to throw away but she didn't want to eat, were consumed quite a bit by Qi Sixing by herself.

Song Jinhe waited from noon until the afternoon, and during the time in between, she didn't rest. She used the tea seed cakes she had just found to boil two large buckets of shampoo.

This thing is really useful; it reduces hair loss and makes hair less prone to getting dirty.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, they brought the basket up, and there were only two and a half small fish inside. The other half had been eaten by a shrimp.

"These shrimp are a bit strange." Song Jinhe used two wooden sticks, not daring to touch them.

It's red and blue in color, and it's really big; it doesn't look like it's edible.

Jiang Shi'an made a cut, and a foul-smelling liquid flowed out.

"We don't want the shrimp, just these two fish will do."

"Row."

They put the fish basket back in and said they would come back to pick it up tomorrow.

Two fish are enough to make a pot of fish soup.

Resources are scarce in this area, but they can still get some food, so they've actually been doing quite well these past few days.

The next day, when I went to check on the fish basket, it had overturned. The fish I had caught were huge, but their bellies were full of parasites, and the flesh inside was rotten.

Those things that looked like noodles, clumped together, and slowly wriggling disgusted Song Jinhe.

Good luck doesn't come every day, so today I can only have vegetable and ham soup again.

The heavy rain has been falling for a week and hasn't stopped yet.

Temperatures are rising, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

After two days of observation, the fog on the mountain seemed to have a hint of scarlet, which may have turned into poisonous miasma.

Fortunately, they are currently far away, so even if they are poisonous, there will be no problem as long as they don't get close.

But the poisonous miasma can move, and no one knows what the consequences of encountering it will be.

Just to be on the safe side, it's best to stay away.

In the apocalypse, most of the unusual things will be deadly.

There are also landslide-dammed lakes nearby. If a flash flood occurs, houses could be swept away, and even standing on the roof would be fatal.

So even though the rain had just subsided and the weather was unpredictable, they were prepared to leave the next day.

That evening, Song Jinhe had just come down from her shift and hadn't even sat down when she heard a loud bang.

Jiang Shi'an and Qi Sixing could hear the noise without her prompting.

"What happened? Another earthquake?" Qi Si had just fallen asleep and was still dazed.

"It's a flash flood, I can hear the sound of water." Jiang Shi'an grabbed a flashlight and hurried outside to check.

Song Jinhe casually picked up an umbrella and followed.

"The flash flood should have gone down from the south, but we are too close. If the levee also breaches in our direction, we will be in danger."

Jiang Shi'an: "There are still two hours until dawn, we have to go."

They couldn't gamble on this 'possibility,' as the original prediction was that the rain would gradually subside and the dammed lake wouldn't breach so quickly.

Unexpectedly, as expected, an accident still occurred. They were lucky; the flash flood hadn't gone in this direction, otherwise they would have woken up in the middle of the night to find themselves adrift in the water.

They had scouted the route to leave twice, and Jiang Shi'an chose the most correct one.

The rain will stop soon, so there's no need to worry about getting lost or falling if we set off at night.

As long as it's not like last time when Qi Sixing kept looking at some crooked tree to the side.

Two hours isn't long, but it can feel incredibly long when you encounter zombies in berserk mode.

The dark clouds in the sky were moving, and a sliver of moonlight could be seen intermittently, but unfortunately it vanished in an instant.

"Please don't encounter any zombies, please don't encounter any zombies!" Qi Sixing murmured devoutly from behind.

It took them more than an hour to reach the train tracks and get onto the bridge.

The railway viaduct is really high. Even if you can't see the rushing water below, you can feel the mountain wind whistling past you. Plus, the railings on this bridge are relatively low.

Looking up, it was pitch black, with only the sound of rushing water. Even those without a fear of heights would be terrified.

“It’ll be dawn soon, why don’t we wait here?” Song Jinhe suggested.

“Mm,” Jiang Shi’an replied.

The blurry vision and the surrounding darkness made Qi Sixing's legs tremble from the moment he arrived, and he was even more reluctant to move forward in the dark.

The bridge is quite long, and in some places the railings are gone, meaning there are no gaps on either side of the railway tracks. If you encounter zombies halfway across, you won't be able to move forward or backward, making it even more dangerous.

Taking advantage of the fact that she was wearing a raincoat and waterproof pants, Song Jinhe found a place to sit down.

Standing until dawn is so tiring.

"Just now I was thinking, what if this bridge suddenly collapses?" Qi Sixing's thoughts wandered.

"If you're really that unlucky, what can you do? At such a height, even if it's water, it's no different from jumping off a building."

Song Jinhe said that's true, but if there really is a problem with the bridge, she will definitely be able to find it. If she runs fast, she still has a chance to get across, as long as there are no zombies.

She yawned, hugged her knees, and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Around seven o'clock, it got light, and a rare glimpse of sunlight appeared.

Song Jinhe had somehow ended up leaning against Jiang Shi'an's side. Qi Sixing looked at them and hugged himself with heartache.

He said that these two people were definitely not ordinary teammates, but clearly a couple.

Since we were on the road, we couldn't eat as much as we had a few days ago, so we just ate some bagged bread.

The date above is expired, but it won't spoil if stored in the space.

Qi Sixing glanced at the rusty railing. "I didn't realize it when we were scouting the route, but it's actually a bit scary to walk up here, especially with such a strong wind blowing."

"Don't look down, look at the finish line on the other side."

That's exactly what Song Jinhe did. The wind made the railing rattle and sway, and you could see that the rusty screws were loose. No wonder he wasn't afraid of heights.

After the rain stopped, they took off their raincoats to make it easier to move around.

At this moment, she directly grabbed Jiang Shi'an's clothes.

It's too high. The tracks aren't even flat ground, and there's no guardrail in front. Half of it has fallen and is still swaying in the air.

The weather was actually quite nice today, with a cool breeze and the air smelling of grass and trees.

But it's hard to control one's imagination. Looking at the fallen railing, one starts to imagine a sudden gust of wind blowing one down and into a murky river.

It's like walking on a bridge while your soul flies behind you.

The wind really started to pick up, and Song Jinhe tightened her grip on the rails, her eyes focused on them.

Her perception was so strong that even without looking at her, one could feel the emptiness on both sides of her body.
