Chapter 17: Zombies Arrive, Welcome Them (2)
In Lu Weiyi’s memory, Zhuang Mingxu had already arrived when zombies appeared on a large scale. But now, he didn’t know if the zombies had appeared earlier, or if Lu Weiyi’s lack of attention in his previous life had led to a discrepancy in information.
A white bead core could save a life at a critical moment…
Lu Weiyi covered his body with mental power, forming a protective film. Estimating that the consumed energy was enough for him to escape, he decided to go hunt zombies himself when it was daylight.
Person-to-person transmission was a very rapid process.
Sleeping until midnight, Lu Weiyi heard faint cries and calls for help coming from all directions. When he woke up, the zombies in the residential area were already wandering around with their intestines dragging on the ground. The blood all over them was still fresh, and their faces were no different from ordinary people. If it weren’t for the bloody footprints with each step and their stiff gait, they would look no different from ordinary people from a distance.
The zombies had just begun to appear. Their necrotic bodies hadn’t yet become rotten and stinky due to time. The smell of fresh blood on people, given the zombies’ sensitivity to blood, attracted several zombies rushing over from all directions in no time. They were really rushing, biting at the fresh zombie with its entrails hanging out.
Taking a bite, it wasn’t human flesh and blood. The few zombies loosened their mouths with a “heh heh” sound, still stubbornly nipping at the places where blood had stuck.
An ignorant girl who was jogging in the morning was frightened by this scene and screamed loudly, attracting the attention of several zombies. They immediately pushed and shoved each other towards the girl. In a moment, the screams turned into cries of agony, mixed with calls for help, gradually fading away.
Lu Weiyi stared downstairs, his mental power watching the surroundings. In various buildings, many people gathered by the windows, silently watching downstairs. Several screamed out in fright, but were quickly and forcefully silenced by the people around them, the remaining sounds forced down their throats, leaving only frightened eyes.
A moment later, the girl downstairs was completely still, and then quickly stood up with the other zombies. However, her eyeballs were bloodshot and cloudy, a piece was missing from her beautiful face, revealing a gnawed tooth mark. Her neck was also scattered with bite marks. The most tragic was her chest – her torn clothes and a nipple that had been bitten but not completely severed dangled, swaying as she staggered, dripping blood that slowly changed from bright red to black, and it was uncertain if it could still be considered blood…
After watching a silent play, Lu Weiyi returned to the dining table, took out two steamers of buns from his space, and added a large bowl of porridge. Along with a box of biscuits, he single-handedly ate a breakfast that could have fed three or four people. After finishing, he was still a little unsatisfied and took out a box of small bread rolls, chewing slowly, thinking about where he would go today.
Having eaten his fill, Lu Weiyi prepared to go out, only to realize that he hadn’t prepared a weapon. Although his ability had strengthened his physical fitness, it wasn’t enough to fight zombies barehanded. Not to mention whether he could kill them, just thinking about the black blood mixed with white brain matter in the zombies’ heads made him feel disgusted, let alone getting it on his hands.
Looking around, Lu Weiyi went to the kitchen and picked up a watermelon knife from the array of knives, swinging it a couple of times. It felt reasonably hDean.
He opened the map he had downloaded earlier on his tablet and looked at the distribution of the districts in Wutong City. He didn’t find any shops selling knives, and then remembered that these were controlled items and not sold publicly.
He really didn’t know where to buy these contraband items. He didn’t need them usually, and if he wanted any, someone would naturally send them over. Now, asking him to find them was a bit difficult.
Lu Weiyi looked closely for a while and decided to go check out places selling kitchenware. Getting a few more watermelon knives wouldn’t be bad at least.
In these early stages of the zombies, the influence of the zombie virus only existed in terms of violence, bloodthirst, and speed, but it definitely hadn’t strengthened their bones. Therefore, ordinary tools for hitting people were still temporarily useful against zombies. Moreover, he now had abilities and could directly cover the weapons with his ability to strengthen them, which would be effective even against the mutated zombies later on.
The shops selling kitchenware were in a large shopping mall. It was a distance of tens of kilometers, usually taking more than an hour to drive, but now with damaged roads and collapsed buildings blocking the way, who knew how long it would take to get there.
Lu Weiyi didn’t hesitate any longer, gripped the watermelon knife, and went out.
