Chapter 13 Heading to the Central Street
After watching the four people outside the window leave the yard, Zhao Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief, still holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand.
"Even if you run fast, I will chop you to death if you dare to come!"
The girl's eyes were full of ferocity. Her heart had accepted the cruelty of this doomsday and she was already ready to kill.
At this age, people accept new things much faster than adults.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when he saw Lin Qi's figure from the window, that Zhao Tuantuan relaxed his guard and put the kitchen knife back in the kitchen.
Lin Qi walked to the iron gate and saw that the door lock was broken, and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
"No, someone has come!"
In the current stage of the apocalypse, zombies are not the most terrifying thing. With the weapons at hand and the courage to fight, facing zombies is just a little dangerous.
But people are unpredictable, and no one knows whether someone will send a cold arrow secretly, or steal the house secretly, so that the supplies and loot they have worked hard to search for will be in vain.
Without any time to think, Lin Qi quickly ran towards the residential building. He was relieved when he saw that the door lock of the building where he lived was still intact.
After going upstairs, he went straight to the room. As soon as he opened the door, Zhao Tuantuan ran over. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then stretched out his arms to hug Lin Qi's waist.
"Brother Lin, can you take me with you next time you go out? I can help you get your things!"
Today's incident has kept the girl on tenterhooks. Although it was just a false alarm, if those four people broke in, she would not be able to resist at this stage.
Feeling the thick touch on his chest, Lin Qi took several steps back and was pressed against the wall.
Under the force of the counter-shock, the contact area became larger, and Lin Qi even felt it bounce a few times.
"Let go first and then talk."
Lin Qi gently patted Zhao Tuantuan on the back. After spending a few days together, the two of them had shared weal and woe, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
But after knowing where the milk came from, I felt awkward in my heart.
"The people from the hotel broke in, but fortunately they didn't enter this building. I suspect they must know that we live here."
Zhao Tuantuan's eyes were full of worry, the unknown danger was the most terrifying.
"Don't worry, we will set out to evacuate towards Central Street tomorrow."
When he went out today, Lin Qi only explored half of the way. Because of the warning sound of the helicopter flying over, the zombies in the whole city became restless, and the number of zombies on the street was obviously more.
After appeasing Zhao Tuantuan, the two began to pack supplies.
During the day, because someone broke into the yard, Zhao Tuantuan had no time to prepare. He just sorted out the supplies and put them in the kitchen.
The two boiled all the remaining dozen eggs, steamed the rice into rice balls, and made steamed buns from flour. They also sorted out some lightweight items from the remaining supplies and stuffed them into their backpacks.
He was busy until late at night. Under the pale yellow light of the vegetable oil lamp, Zhao Tuantuan's weak body seemed to have great energy, without any trace of fatigue.
"Okay, these are enough, we can't take any more."
Two large backpacks full of food would be fine if they were traveling on a regular basis. They would just be a little tiring, but they also had to avoid the zombies outside. Too much weight would undoubtedly become an obstacle to escape.
Zhao Tuantuan thought about it and realized something was wrong, so he took out some of the items and put them into his backpack.
"Brother Lin will carry a light one tomorrow, and I will carry a heavy one. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to keep up."
If it were a few days ago, Zhao Tuantuan would never joke with her life, but when she was nervous today, she unknowingly realized a new ability of hers.
At that time, when she saw Liu Bo and the other four entering the courtyard, Zhao Tuantuan had already had the idea of desperate efforts. Under the excitement, a force slowly spread from her chest to her body, allowing her physique to be comprehensively improved.
And now, she can feel that her physical fitness is slowly changing at any time. Maybe it won't be long before she can surpass strong men in strength.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Most of the zombies in the city are virus bodies. As long as you are careful, you will not be in danger."
Although the mutant zombie he encountered in the next building today was a bit special, he could easily deal with it with the special skills Lin Qi had acquired.
And the longer you practice the skill, the more powerful it becomes, and you will only slowly become stronger.
"I believe Brother Lin!" Zhao Tuantuan encouraged with clenched fists.
She didn't know much about Lin Qi's strength, but after feeding her the high-energy nutrients she had condensed several times, she believed that Lin Qi's physique had also been greatly improved. Seeing Lin Qi's strength improving little by little, Zhao Tuantuan I was also very pleased.
After finishing their work, it was already midnight. The two of them said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.
It wasn't until the next morning that the two of them packed their luggage and walked out of the room.
Lin Qi was carrying a backpack, holding a long bow in his hand and a quiver tied to his waist, while Zhao Tuantuan was holding the steel pipe for self-defense and carrying a lot of food on his back.
After leaving the building, they saw two zombies wandering in the courtyard. The iron door was pried open yesterday. Lin Qi did not close it when he came back. Unexpectedly, a zombie wandered in.
"Don't be afraid, let me come."
Lin Qi drew out his arrow, raised it and shot.
At a distance of less than twenty meters, he could say that he had a perfect shot. Before the two zombies could react, the arrow had already hit their heads and penetrated three points straight into their heads.
Lin Qi retrieved the arrows and reinserted them into the quiver. After making sure that there were no more zombies around, he continued to move forward with Zhao Tuantuan.
Yesterday, several of the thirty arrows had been scrapped. Now there are only twenty-five left. They must be used with caution, otherwise the basic archery advancement task has not been completed, and I am afraid that all the arrows will be scrapped.
"Brother Lin is really amazing!"
Zhao Tuantuan's bright eyes showed a trace of doubt. She still couldn't see what aspect of Lin Qi's awakened gene enhancement was, and how could this crudely made arrow have such power? Just sharpening the arrow shaft can shoot through the zombie's head. You know, the skull is very hard.
"Follow closely, don't fall too far behind when you cross the street later."
Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart when he encountered zombies just when he went out. Generally speaking, if he went out unfavorably, the whole journey would not be too smooth.
Sure enough, after leaving the compound gate, there were obviously more zombies on the street, and even the roars from the infected zombies could be heard faintly.
Lin Qi had planned the route yesterday. If he was alone, he could easily avoid the zombies, but with Zhao Tuantuan, he had to ensure her safety.
"Walk close to the wall and stay as far away from the zombies as possible. Ten meters away, as long as the noise is not too loud, they will not attack."
While observing the surrounding environment and looking for a suitable route, Lin Qi shared the information he had with Zhao Tuantuan.
Most of the eyes of the virus zombies have rotted away and have no vision at all. The way they find prey should be the magnetic field induction between organisms.
Of course, if the vibration is too strong, the position will be locked.
