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

"Brother Qin, so the person you're looking for is Liuzi. This guy is actually quite famous here. He was arrested for running a pyramid scheme. He keeps talking nonsense, saying things like the end of the world. I didn't expect him to be right."

Pan Hongwei also introduced Qin Zhong. After hearing what he said, Qin Zhong felt that this person was very similar to the one Officer Chen mentioned. Moreover, Officer Chen also said at that time that he had an alias called Ma Liu.

"He's at the gathering point now, right? Let's go quickly. I have something to ask him..."

Seeing that the person had been found, Qin Chong couldn't help but become anxious. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, then prepared to go to the gathering point.

"that……"

Pan Hongwei suddenly spoke hesitantly, as if he had something to hide. Qin Zhong had a bad thought when he heard it.

I can’t be that unlucky. I just found Ma Liu and he died?

Seeing Qin Zhong's changed expression, Pan Hongwei quickly said, "That's right. He's not at the gathering point right now. Speaking of which, it's quite a bit. We don't have that many people here to begin with. Brother Zhang's men plus the survivors from Zhoupu Prison, there are less than a hundred people in total. But in the past few months, more survivors have arrived one after another, and for a while, our rations were not enough."

"There's a granary in Zhoupu Town, said to be one of the Magic City's war reserve granaries. There are mountains of food piled inside. If we take it over, there'll be enough food for the gathering point, even if there are more people."

As he spoke, Pan Hongwei swallowed his saliva, as if he was savoring something. After a while, he continued, "A few days ago, we organized a commando team, and I was in it. We drove three large vehicles and dozens of people to that place..."

Pan Hongwei suddenly showed a trace of horror on his face: "In the end, out of dozens of people, only half returned. The others were left there, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead..."

"What's there?"

Qin Zhong's expression was also somewhat solemn. Only half of the dozens of people came back alive. This loss was very serious. It seemed that there was something terrible in the granary.

"Rats, a lot of big rats!" Before Pan Hongwei could say anything, Qiang San on the side blurted out with a look of horror on his face.

Pan Hongwei swallowed his saliva and said, "Liuzi was also in the team going to the granary at that time, and he did not come back. As for whether he is dead or alive, it is not clear."

"Brother Qin, how about we go to the gathering point first? I heard from Brother Zhang that we still need to go to the granary."

Pan Hongwei suggested carefully, and Qin Dian nodded. There was no other way now. Since they were already here, they had no choice but to go see Zhang Jiahan first.

As for Ma Liu, I will go to the granary if I have the chance. If he is still alive, I don’t mind saving him. But if the granary is too dangerous, I won’t be stupid enough to be a hero for an irrelevant person.

Seeing that Qin Zhong agreed to go to the gathering point, Pan Hongwei immediately called a few people and led the way to the gathering point.

"Brother Qiang, Lao Qi and the others are still trapped over there. Maybe they are still alive now. Do you think so?" Kaizi suddenly spoke up to remind Qiang San.

Qiang San looked at the old, weak and sick people on his side, touched the empty Type 81 rifle, and turned his gaze to Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong looked at the grown men looking at him with hope in their eyes, and suddenly felt a headache. Could it be that this is how heroes are forced to become heroes?

……

After a headache, Qin Zhong had no choice but to let Meng Tong guard the car, while he and Pan Hongwei, Qiang San and his group walked back the way they came.

Qin Zhong walked in front, while Pan Hongwei, Qiang San and a few others huddled together like frightened birds, following cautiously behind, observing any movement around them from time to time.

Just after passing the weeds, Qin Zhong saw three zombies lying on the ground, surrounding a corpse and feasting. Looking at the corpse, the faces of Qiang San and the others turned pale.

Qin Zhong drew his Tang sword without changing his expression and walked slowly towards the three zombies. As if sensing Qin Zhong's breath of life, two zombies raised their heads and were about to roar, but Qin Zhong slid and swept across with his sword.

"Swish!"

Two zombie heads flew into the air, and the sticky black blood from their necks spurted three feet high. The two headless corpses fell silently to the ground.

"Great!"

When Qiang San and others saw Qin Zhong succeed in his attack, they immediately cheered loudly, with an expression of surprise and pride.

Faced with loud cheers, Qin Zhong just looked expressionless and calm as he walked towards the third zombie.

"Uh……"

At this time, the third zombie also roared and struggled to stand up. Qin Zhong walked up to it with ease, raised his hand, and with a "bang", a pistol bullet blew off the zombie's skull.

Seeing Qin Zhong kill three zombies so easily, Qiang San and others became more energetic and their courage seemed to have recovered a lot. They immediately stepped forward to lead Qin Zhong and walked towards their companions.

Five minutes later, several people stood on a high ground, looking towards a small village below. Qin Zhong frowned at the dense swarm of corpses before him. "How many dozens are there? I think there are thousands of them."

As he spoke, Qin Zhong turned his head to look at Pan Hongwei, Qiang San and others. At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? This shouldn't happen!"

Kaizi looked at the thousands of zombies in the small village below. Their faces were blue, their lips were white, and their eyes were wide open. They seemed to not believe what they saw.

To be honest, a swarm of corpses of this size is still much smaller than the one at the Pearl Tower. But even so, the swarm of corpses reaches thousands, which is shocking at a glance.

This is already the urban-rural fringe area near Zhoupu Town. Qin Chong and his friends are on a hillside. There are more than a dozen old-style blue brick and tile houses at the foot of the hillside. Looking at the several large trees in front of and behind the houses, this small village must have been around for quite some time.

The entire village is filled with small bridges, flowing water, blue bricks, and ancient trees. If it weren’t for the residential complex built by the developer nearby, this place would be a paradise.

However, the residential complex next door was only half-built, with most floors still untopped and densely packed with scaffolding. At this moment, two figures stood on one scaffold, staring in horror at the zombies swarming below.

Qin Zhong could see through the telescope that the two men had despair on their faces. Below them, one or two zombies would occasionally jump up and climb the scaffolding.

If these zombies had not already forgotten their human habits and had not fallen on other zombies' heads before they could climb up a few times, the two of them would have probably been eaten alive by the zombies.

"What do you think?"

Qin Zhong put down the telescope and turned to look at Qiang San and his group. After all, these were their people, and it was up to them to decide whether to save them or not.

"How about we go back first? Then think of a solution? Or call more people?"

As soon as Qiang San opened his mouth, he was about to back out, and the other people also agreed. Kaizi hesitated for a moment. Although he wanted to save people, he knew it was not realistic after looking at the situation.

Pan Hongwei, on the other hand, looked indifferent. Although he was from the same place as Qiang San and the others, they were not in the same team and he had no feelings for them. He came here just to watch the fun.
