Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Cai Huan felt Xiao Chen tighten his grip on her hand, so she couldn't help but look up at her boyfriend. She found that Xiao Chen looked nervous, so she also felt something was wrong, so she whispered, "Xiao Chen, what is that? Is that man crazy?"

When Cai Huan was in his hometown before, he had seen mentally ill people in the village waving machetes around, but at that time the adults covered his eyes tightly and he could only hear screams coming from his ears. It is said that several people in the village were injured that time, and the madman was eventually taken away by the police.

The man biting people in front of him reminded Cai Huan of his childhood, so he thought that the man was also mentally ill.

But Xiao Chen didn't think so. Just before he went out, Xiao Chen saw a post on the Internet, which mentioned that a patient bit someone in a health center in the inner circle recently, but the matter was suppressed by the authorities, apparently for fear that the incident would spread and cause panic among the citizens.

The post sounded very serious and even included some bloody pictures of people biting people, but people who replied to the post laughed at it and said they were photoshopped. A few minutes later, when Xiao Chen refreshed the page, the post had been deleted.

Although there are many such posts on the forum every day, and some are even more bizarre, it cannot be ruled out that some people deliberately want to create panic and profit from it.

But for some reason, Xiao Chen looked at the abnormal walking posture of the man in front of him and the woman who had stopped breathing on the ground, and then looked at the crowd that had dispersed around and were still making a fuss and watching the fun, and a bad premonition quickly fermented in his heart.

With densely populated streets and crowds of people, once some vicious incident or virus infection breaks out, the entire base will be in danger.

"Huanhuan, let's leave here first." Xiao Chen pulled Cai Huan and turned to leave.

Cai Huan was pulled so hard that she stumbled. Although she wanted to ask what was going on, she immediately suppressed her doubts when she saw Xiao Chen pursing his lips and not saying a word, because she seemed to be able to feel a sense of fear in the tension in Xiao Chen's hands.

However, the two were unable to leave, because at this moment, several cars rushed out from the block behind, and the first car slammed into a store on the side. Fortunately, the people in the store ran out to watch the excitement, so there were no casualties when the car hit.

Black smoke immediately billowed from the front of the car, and several cars behind it rear-ended it because they failed to brake in time. At this time, there were as many as seven or eight cars blocking the entire road.

The crowd in front was originally looking at the man biting someone, but they were frightened by the noise behind them.

Xiao Chen pulled the frightened Cai Huan and hid in a store. Fortunately, they both dodged to the right, otherwise a red Honda sedan in front would have run over them.

Seven or eight cars blocked the only passage in the block, and there was a crazy man who would bite people in front. Now a car accident suddenly happened, and the people watching in front were shocked. Some people even started shouting excitedly on their phones: "Look, everyone, there was a series of rear-end collisions near the Sanfang Market in District A today, and there was a mentally ill man in front who was biting people randomly. It was too exciting!"

The man recording the video was so excited that he was dancing with joy. He even backed up to one of the cars and took a photo facing it, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Cai Huan and Xiao Chen tried several times to get through the gap between the cars, but still couldn't, so they had to go back to the store.

It would be difficult for two people to move around the cars at this time, unless they climbed onto one of the cars and then walked along the roof.

Xiao Chen glanced at the store. The store should have two floors and there was a small staircase on the side. So Xiao Chen closed the glass door of the store temporarily.

"What are you doing? This is someone else's store, what are you doing?"

Cai Huan stood there in a daze, watching Xiao Chen quickly lock the door and then pull her upstairs.

"Don't worry, the people ahead can't turn back and run to this door. Just trust me this time. If anything really happens, I'll take the responsibility." Xiao Chen's tone was colder than ever, which made Cai Huan realize that Xiao Chen was hiding something from him.

I followed Xiao Chen to the second floor, where there were also four or five tables. This was a small milk tea shop. There was even milk tea on the tables that had not been cleared away. The entire area was only more than 30 square meters, with glass windows on all four sides, through which one could see the entire block clearly.

After Xiao Chen went upstairs, he found that there was only a simple wooden door on the second floor, so he closed the door and blocked the entrance with a table.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished doing this, he heard screams from downstairs.

Cai Huan hurried to the window to check the situation, and saw that the street had become chaotic without him noticing, and a young woman was knocking a man to the ground and tearing him apart.

The same scene was happening more than ten meters away. The man who had been shot dead was now staggering to his feet from the ground. The upper half of his body was already stained red by the bloody holes from the previous shots, but the man was still able to open his bloody mouth and bite other passers-by.

The way back was blocked by seven or eight cars. Many people wanted to climb onto the cars, but they were pulled back by a powerful force the next moment.

It turned out that the person in the car was growling like a bloodthirsty monster, and his sharp fingertips instantly cut the ankle of the man on the roof of the climbing car. After dragging the man down, he began to bite him madly, like a beast that had lost its mind. The fangs in its mouth pierced deeply into the man's skin, and then tore off a whole piece of flesh, and there was even a chewing sound from his mouth.

It was 10:30 in the morning. Although it was not the busiest time in the neighborhood, because people from the store had come out to watch the fun, there were about 60 to 70 people gathered in the entire neighborhood.

Once a collective panic occurs, the entire scene becomes chaotic and crazy. The Self-Defense Forces standing on one side don't even have time to open fire before they are hit or dragged for help by the fleeing crowd.

The incident happened too suddenly. Everyone's attention was originally on the previous biting incident. After all, after the woman who claimed to be a doctor was bitten to death, the others were so scared that they stood there in a daze, while some people were busy filming and uploading the video to the platform.

The captain of the Self-Defense Forces noticed that the man's face was pale and there were even obvious gray blood vessels on his face after he shot him dead. He could even vaguely see sharp fangs growing out of his open mouth. His fingernails were longer than those of ordinary people and were black. No matter how you looked at it, he could no longer be considered a normal human being.

Recalling one of the instructions given before the mission, the team leader realized that the man's abnormality might be related to mutation after infection, so he chose to shoot without hesitation.

But he may have missed a more crucial piece of information, which is that the superiors said that if you encounter a mutated infected person, you must shoot in the head. If it is in other places, it is very likely that you will not be able to kill it with one shot!

The team leader shouted to the bewildered team members behind him: "Everyone, take up your guns and get ready to shoot. Remember, you must shoot the infected in the head!"

When they heard the word "infected", all the team members' spirits instantly tensed up, because they already knew what infected meant, and the previous order was to eliminate all the infected.

The young woman who had been bitten before suddenly began to twitch violently, and one could even hear the sound of her bones crackling.

Just like in a zombie movie, the woman first arched her waist, then raised her hands and shook them wildly, twisting her neck left and right, and even began to rub against the ground slightly, making that familiar grinding sound from her mouth.

There was still a bloody hole on the woman's neck from the bite she had received from the man. The entire mutation process took less than ten minutes. Compared to the man's quick movements, the woman stood up very slowly, as if she was still maintaining the same speed she had when she was alive. So when she came in front of one of the Self-Defense Force members, she was shot in the head by a team member before she could pounce on him.

At this time, people underground were running around. Most of them ran in different directions like headless flies. Some people ran to the nearest store, but before they closed the door, they were bitten by zombies that jumped out of the car. Others thought that they were safe around the Self-Defense Forces, so they ran towards them, and this brought several zombies to the Self-Defense Forces.

Just as the crowd was in chaos, a burst of crying and shouting broke out in one of the larger coffee shops in the block, followed by the sound of glass shattering on the second floor.

A figure fell from the second floor and then there was no movement.

It was a man wearing a coffee shop employee uniform, face down on the ground, blood gradually oozing out of his body. On the second floor of the coffee shop, there were still shadows swaying, and more people jumped down from the second floor. However, after jumping down, these people did not lie on the ground like the man. Instead, they quickly got up and staggered towards the crowd.

About seven or eight zombies jumped down from the second floor of the cafe. It turned out that there were infected people in the cafe before, but they did not mutate immediately. The people on the first floor of the cafe were attracted by the excitement and went out, while the people on the second floor did not go to watch the excitement because they were holding a birthday party. So when the first infected person mutated and started biting people, the narrow space became a paradise for this zombie.

Moreover, the first infected person was a young free hunter and psychic. He was very fast and moved very quickly. I don’t know if the door to the second floor was blocked by someone who was going out as a prank, causing the twenty or so people on the second floor to become infected in an instant.

After the glass windows were broken, a strong smell of blood and decay emanated from the second floor.

"What are these?" Cai Huan crossed his arms and looked in horror at another group of people who were frantically chasing and biting people in the street.

"The infected are also called zombies." Xiao Chen's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but his eyes were fixed on the window, not daring to relax for a moment.

"Zombies?" These two words paused in Cai Huan's mind for several minutes before he finally digested them. Then he gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Chen: "How do you know they are infected?"

Xiao Chen had no intention of hiding it from his girlfriend, so he told her about the post he saw this morning.

Cai Huan's eyes were as big as bells. She couldn't believe that zombies really existed in this world. After all, it had been six years since the apocalypse. The biggest change in mankind was the evolution of people with special powers, but she had never heard of humans turning into such bloodthirsty monsters.

"Isn't that something that only appears in movies?" Cai Huan couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly: "Superpowers are also in Marvel movies, but don't they exist in this world now? As long as human civilization and order have not returned to the past and the end of the world has not ended, anything beyond common sense is possible.

"Then this possibility is too high. Zombies appeared just a few days after we arrived at the base. This luck is really bad." Cai Huan was a little bit amused at this time. He pinched his trembling palms, took out his mobile phone and called home.

Someone answered the phone quickly, and Cai Huan didn't bother to explain, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, are you with my mom and my brother?"

"Together, your brother brought back some old furniture today, and our whole family is planning to clean up this rental house. What about you? Have you seen your cousin?"

"Dad, I'm telling you, there may be an outbreak of an infectious disease in the base recently. Tell my mom and brother to stay home today. I remember there is still some food stored at home, enough for our family to eat for a week."

Cai Huan's father on the phone immediately felt that something was wrong with his daughter's words, so he quickly asked: "Infectious disease? Is it a serious one? But the community didn't notify you?"

"Dad, you have to believe me. I don't know how to tell you. Let me ask Xiao Chen to send you a video. You will understand after watching it."

Cai Huan knew that he couldn't explain to his parents right away, so he asked Xiao Chen to quickly transfer the video to his brother's phone.

Fortunately, there was internet at that time, so Xiao Chen cut a video of about one minute and sent it over, and then sent the video to Cai Min as well.

Five minutes later, Cai Min called. "I was just about to call you. Someone from the community came over and asked the stores near us to temporarily stop operating. They also issued a notice saying that an unknown infectious disease has broken out in the base and asked us to stay at home to rest. Where are you and Xiao Chen now?"

Cai Min's tone was anxious, and it was obvious that she was worried that something might have happened to the two of them after seeing the video.

"Sister, I'm fine. Xiao Chen and I are safe for now. Since the community has notified you to go home, you should go back quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to come back once all the blocks are blocked."

Cai Min had just hung up the phone when her family called again. This time it was Cai Huan's brother, who roughly told her to go to the nearby store with her uncle to buy some more rice and flour to take home, because in case the street where they lived was blocked, they didn't know when it would be unblocked, so it would be a good idea to carry some extra food.

After making sure that everything was fine at home, Cai Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, there was a "bang bang" sound of doors slamming on the first floor, which immediately scared Cai Huan and Xiao Chen.
