I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"boom!"

Just when Qin Zhong was flying the kite, there was a loud noise behind him, which made him shudder all over. When he turned around, the scene in front of him made him shudder!

Three doors past the terrace, two glass doors suddenly fell to the ground. For a moment, glass shards flew everywhere, and a group of zombies poured out from the doorway with roars!

The group of corpses were baring their fangs and claws, and their pale dead faces looked particularly creepy. They were in a chaotic manner, but with a clear goal, they rushed straight towards Qin Chong.

At first glance, there were at least a hundred corpses in the group, and the terrace was not spacious, with blocked access from front and back. If Qin Zhong wanted to escape, he would probably have to jump off the building.

Suddenly, a chill rushed up from his tailbone to his head. Qin Zhong did not dare to hesitate. He hung the crossbow on his body, drew the Miao Dao on his back, and prepared to rush back along the same route before the group of corpses gathered together.

However, the corridor is only three meters wide, less than four meters, and there are at least thirty zombies swarming over there. It is not a big problem to rush through, but it is probably difficult to escape unscathed without any injury.

At this moment, Qin Zhong's face was extremely solemn. After all, this was the end of the world, not a training ground. These zombies might carry viruses. Once bitten, the result would naturally be tragic.

On the day when the "disaster" broke out, Qin Zhong saw with his own eyes an employee who was infected with the virus and turned into a zombie. After the disease broke out, he pounced on a female employee and directly bit off a piece of flesh from the female employee's arm.

Although the female employee was later treated, she also turned into a zombie in less than five minutes, becoming an inhuman zombie who instinctively wanted to tear apart any living thing in front of her.

Under such circumstances, Qin Zhong's face became more and more heavy. Faced with so many zombies, he had to prepare for the worst!

"Here! Here!"

At this moment, a small door on the inner side of the terrace suddenly opened, and a boy stuck his head out, his eyes rolling around, and waved fiercely at Qin Zhong: "Quick! Run this way!"

Thought he was going to die this time, he unexpectedly found a way to survive. Qin Zhong was overjoyed and followed the boy into the small door. He had no idea that there were still living people in the mall.

Entering through the small door, there is a deep and long corridor with small shops on both sides. The light is extremely dim, but the boy walks very fast, turning corners without hesitation, and seems to be very familiar with the environment here.

It can be seen that this place is like a flea market. The shops have been divided into small stores with a small area. The businesses that have settled here are all small businesses selling clothing, luggage, or spicy hot pot, skewers and the like.

Qin Zhong followed closely behind the little boy. The further he went in, the dimmer the light became. The aisles were crisscrossed and it seemed as if he had entered a maze.

The boy's footsteps were light and quick, sweeping across the street like a gust of wind. Suddenly, his figure flashed and he nimbly turned into a seemingly ordinary store.

He knew the layout of the place like the back of his hand, as if every floor tile was engraved in his memory. As soon as he stepped into the store, he led Qin Zhong without hesitation and went straight to the kitchen deep in the store.

On the back wall of the kitchen, there is a 20-centimeter square ventilation fan. The blades rotate gently in the breeze, and the sunlight that comes in flickers. The light and shadow dance in every corner of the kitchen like jumping elves.

These mottled lights and shadows finally converged on a half-person-high iron cabinet. Without any hesitation, the boy quickly ran to the large iron cabinet and pulled it hard, and the door of the iron cabinet opened.

……

The boy's voice was a little hurried: "Hide inside!"

Qin Zhong didn't hesitate at all and immediately got into the iron cabinet with the boy. As the cabinet door was closed, the surroundings were suddenly shrouded in darkness, as if a heavy coffin lid was turned upside down, completely isolating them from the outside world.

Although the iron cabinet was not small, after the two people hid in it, they could only curl up and squat face to face.

Both of them held their breath and tried to reduce their presence. After a while, the howling of the corpses outside gradually faded and dispersed. After those bloodthirsty zombies couldn't find anyone, they would quickly separate and continue wandering around.

Hearing the noise outside gradually fade away, Qin Zhong gently pushed the cabinet door open two or three inches, glanced out, and made sure that there was no danger outside. Only then did he truly relax and looked at the boy in front of him.

The light shone through the iron cabinet. Although it was not very bright, because the two people were very close, Qin Zhong could see the boy's face clearly and found that it was not a boy, but a girl.

Because the girl had a flat head, and Qin Zhong had not observed her carefully during the previous life-and-death situation, he mistook her for a boy. Now, when he took a closer look, he saw that the girl still had a childish face, with a pair of lively eyes, and she looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

Seeing Qin Zhong open the cabinet door, the girl suddenly realized: "Close the cabinet door quickly!"

Although it was impossible for the zombies to find this place in a short time, Qin Chong saw her frightened expression. Although he felt it was stuffy in the iron cabinet, he still closed the two cabinet doors.

The cabinet door closed, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. Qin Zhong looked in the direction of the girl and whispered, "You are quite capable. You have survived until now. Have you been hiding here all this time?"

The girl hummed, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "From that day on, I have been hiding here."

"Oh?"

The girl's answer startled Qin Zhong. He couldn't help but ask, "Since the disaster? It's been almost half a year, and you've been hiding here alone?"

Although he couldn't see it, Qin Zhong still felt that the girl nodded, and her tone was a little surprised: "It's been almost half a year? Why...why haven't the police come yet?"

Qin Zhong was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Don't count on rescue. I'm afraid the whole world is in this state. The government may no longer exist. From now on... I can only rely on myself."

The girl didn't speak for a long time, and the two of them just sat facing each other in silence until the girl sighed heavily. In the darkness, the sigh seemed to be filled with endless despair. How could it be a sigh from a young girl?

Soon, the girl whispered again, "This is the snack bar my family runs. This iron cabinet is used to store rice and other sundries. I moved all the things out and have been hiding in this iron cabinet since that day."

I see. No wonder. A snack bar must have some supplies in stock. A little girl wouldn't eat too much, so it's no wonder she could hold on.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you alone here? Where are your parents?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "My father passed away a long time ago, and the snack bar is run by my mother and an aunt. I go to a primary school nearby and eat at the store at noon."

"Where's your mother?"

Qin Chong asked casually, but he immediately regretted it as soon as he said it. Since the girl's mother was not here, she must have turned into a zombie outside. Why bother to bring up her pain again?
