Chapter 31 Learning outcomes continue to move forward. Shu Xin and Yan Mo also discovered a company that is preparing to do live streaming on the Internet. Judging from the things stored in their company, it seems that they are going to go the route of food broadcasting. The warehouse is full of various foods, and there are also several large freezers full of food. The purpose of their coming out today is not to collect food, but they will not turn us away if they meet them, because they are not fools. After Shu Xin and Yan Mo's sweep, the top ten floors seemed empty. The two of them did not stay for long and rushed downstairs without stopping. The lower ten floors were submerged after three months of heavy rain and flooding, and not many valuable things were preserved. More than three floors were frozen under the thick ice layer. The actual number of floors that Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai had to search was seven. The neat and tidy office was completely unrecognizable after being soaked and washed by the flood. Some things could not even be identified in their original appearance. Fortunately, these things were not within the scope of their search, otherwise they might really go crazy. Items that can be washed and soaked are not of high value. A company that relies on core scientific research technologies to compete will never leave important things outside at will. They will be properly stored in a place that is out of reach of ordinary people and is absolutely safe. The two men took some effort to pass through the garbage-pile passage outside and successfully found the safe hidden in the secret compartment of the president's office. The remaining companies went through almost the same process. When Shu Xin and Yan Mo went downstairs to find Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai, they saw eight or nine safes of various sizes piled up next to the two men, as well as a dozen sealed glass containers filled with newly sprouted seedlings. It was not possible to tell what kind of plants they were yet. Still with Yan Mo's cover, Shu Xin put all the things into the space. She also took out some of the food she found in the internet celebrity's company upstairs and filled four backpacks. When they were almost near the residential area, four people took out black backpacks used for camouflage from a blind spot that they had observed in advance, put them on their backs, and walked towards the residential area. I don't know if it was because each of them was carrying a backpack and they looked very young, making people think they were easy to bully, but not long after they entered the community, they were stopped by a group of people. The group of people on the opposite side were mostly men, holding various weapons found in their homes. It seemed that they were probably people from the same building who gathered together to rob people returning to the community in order to obtain survival supplies. Shu Xin and the others stopped moving forward. Shu Xin stood behind Yan Mo and looked at the dozen or so people opposite. Just by looking at the other party's eyes, you can tell that a fight is inevitable. The leader of the other party is also a smart man. He didn't say those old-fashioned pre-robbery words. He just turned his head and signaled the others following behind him to raise their weapons and charge over. The tacit understanding between Shu Xin, Yan Mo and the other three was developed through their daily interactions. There was no need for any extra words or actions, and they drew out the knives in their hands tacitly. It was the first time that Shuxin fought someone with real swords and guns. Apart from feeling a little nervous and uncomfortable, she was also more excited. The unfamiliar stimulation stirred Shuxin's nerves and made her mind particularly focused. I have been trained by the devil for more than three months, but have never had a chance to show off. This is a good opportunity for me to test the results of my learning.

Chapter 32: Room for Growth The strength of the enemy and us is quite different. Shuxin and the others are more flexible in their skates. More than a dozen people are not enough for them to warm up, so they all lie on the ground, leaving no room for resistance. They returned home feeling a little reluctant to leave, but it was a pity that no one was so blind to come and provoke them on the road. When they were teaching that group of highway robbers a lesson, a few people from the same building who were out looking for something happened to pass by and witnessed the whole process. They went back and publicized their swift and decisive operations, combined with the tragic scene of the people who had provoked them last time, and at the same time labeled them as people who should not be provoked. Invisibly, a lot of unnecessary troubles were reduced for them, and their lives returned to normal. They would still go out from time to time. Ye Yu'an's life will become much busier. While going out again to look for supplies, Ye Yu'an accidentally discovered that after the top-quality jadeite he had casually thrown in while searching for supplies disappeared out of thin air, the space that was originally filled to the brim actually had a little extra space. It's really just a tiny bit. If it weren't for the fact that in order to ensure that the space area could be utilized to the maximum, Ye Yu would have placed everything close to the boundary without leaving any gaps, and he would not have noticed this extremely subtle change. A bold idea emerged in Ye Yu'an's mind: the bracelet space can be expanded! If you want to verify your guess, it is very simple. You just need to put jade or other things into the space to see if the space reacts. At that time, Ye Yu'an was in a large shopping mall, which happened to have several world-famous luxury jewelry stores on the top floor, making it convenient for her experiment. The final result confirmed that Ye Yu'an's guess was completely correct. As long as jade items were placed in the bracelet, the space would automatically absorb them. Depending on the quality and quantity of the jade, the size of the space growth would vary. After searching all the jewelry stores, the bracelet space increased by nearly fifty cubic meters. A larger space means more supplies can be stored, and Ye Yu'an certainly knows the importance of this. Knowing that the space of the bracelet can be expanded, Ye Yu'an goes out to look for supplies more frequently. Since most jewelry stores are located on the first floor of the shopping mall, Ye Yu'an, who didn't gain much, turned his attention to the rich man's office. After searching four wealthy people's private vaults in succession, he found a lot. Rich people really like to buy this kind of things to collect. Three of them contained the jade that Ye Yu'an wanted, and only one was full of gold bars. When he opened the safe, Ye Yu'an was almost blinded by a box of gold bars. "Oh, how vulgar! How vulgar!" Ye Yu'an's mouth curled up wildly, and he collected the gold at a fast speed. Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. This truth has been unchanged throughout the ages and is still true in the last days. In the end times when resources are scarce, the value of all kinds of items has skyrocketed, and precious metals such as gold are no exception. Ye Yu'an was busy outside expanding his space and collecting supplies. In the community, Du Hanxu and Wang Yayun were busy instigating people to attack Ye Yu'an, rushing towards death. After being silent for several months, the government took action again, setting up more than a dozen shelters across the country, dispatching a large number of troops to carry out rescue missions, and sending those who were willing to go to the shelters to nearby shelters for asylum.

Chapter 33 Reflections: City A was an important first-tier city with leading economic development before the end of the world, and was on the first list of cities to establish shelters. As the news of the establishment of the shelter spread, many people found out its location, packed up their belongings and rushed to the shelter with their families, thinking that their lives would be well protected in the shelter. They forgot that the population of City A alone was nearly 600,000. Excluding those who died for various reasons during the rainstorm and those who were unwilling to go to the shelters, there were also quite a few people who went to the shelters. In addition, the army will send in refugees suffering from nearby towns. The shelters built in a hurry have limited space, and the conditions cannot be very good to accommodate all those who come to seek asylum. What one can get by taking refuge is only the minimum living standard to ensure that one does not starve or freeze to death. No matter how many officials there are, they do not have the energy or ability to take care of it. When the news of the establishment of the shelter spread to the community, the oppressed residents saw hope. Over the course of less than half a month, people began to leave in groups, and the entire community seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. Shu Xin and her friends went out twice recently and clearly felt that the number of prying eyes had decreased a lot. Most of the remaining people who did not leave were too old to stand the tossing around, or they were used to acting like local tyrants during natural disasters, or they were still hesitant. "Bang——" Shuxin, who was distracted, was thrown to the ground by Yan Mo's back. The sound of flesh hitting the cushion, coupled with the pain in her body, brought Shuxin back to her senses instantly. "During a battle, the most taboo thing is to lose concentration. If the person you faced just now was your enemy, you would probably be dead now!" Shu Xin looked up at the handsome face of the man, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression did not look good, and the tone of his voice was no longer as gentle as usual. This was the first time that Yan Mo showed an angry expression towards her. Shu Xin knew that it was her problem, so she didn't dare to argue. She prepared to get up and calm the man down. As soon as she placed her hands on the mat behind her, a shadow fell in front of her eyes, and the unique hot breath of a man rushed towards her. His hot palm pressed against her waist through her clothes, easily helping her stand up. "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been distracted just now. I promise I won't do it again. Don't be angry." Shu Xin stood obediently with her hands behind her back, like a student caught distracted in class by the head teacher. She didn't dare to breathe before the serious teacher, and sincerely bowed her head to admit her mistake with a very correct attitude. Yan Mo lowered his eyes and looked at the little head drooping in front of him. The anger that surged in his chest dissipated a little at once, but he did not give in easily. He had to make Shu Xin realize the seriousness of the matter. She admitted her mistake now only because he was angry. "Making a mistake is as fast as admitting it. You were wrong, but you will dare to do it again next time, right? Go and stand at attention facing the wall for an hour, and reflect on why you keep making mistakes during training. What is the reason?" After saying that, Yan Mo walked out of the training room without looking back, leaving Shu Xin alone. I've known Yan Mo for so long, but this is the first time I've been treated so harshly by him. Looking at Yan Mo's back as he left, Shu Xin felt a lump in her throat and a feeling of grievance welled up in her. She walked to the wall and stood there in a huff. In another room, three people all saw the relieved expressions on the surveillance footage. "Brother Mo, why don't you try another way? Will this method make your sister-in-law misunderstand you? Or what if your sister-in-law can't figure it out?" Bu Xiangwen looked at Yan Mo with some concern. Mu Qimai didn't say anything, but his eyes expressed a similar meaning. Yan Mo sat on the sofa and looked at the girl's slightly red eyes on the monitor. He almost couldn't help but rush over to hug her in his arms to comfort her, but he couldn't do that. He could feel that Shuxin had been slacking off mentally recently, and she had to realize it and adjust herself in time. Today was a good opportunity. The cruelty of the end of the world does not allow for any distraction during a battle, and every detail may determine the victory or defeat of a battle. Survival of the fittest. It's not just talk.

Chapter 34: Awakening: My emotions gradually calmed down. Facing the quiet room and blank walls, my restless heart slowly calmed down, and the words Yan Mo said when he left flashed through my mind. "I should reflect carefully on why I made frequent mistakes in training. What was the reason?" Calming down, Shuxin recalled her performance in training during this period. She was frequently distracted during confrontational training, and her shooting results had not improved at all... When did the string in her heart loosen? It was the long period of safe and comfortable life after the apocalypse that made her gradually forget the cruelty of the apocalypse, and it was the victory after the last gang fight that made her complacent and think that she had the ability to protect herself. But is this really the case? not really. Those people were just ordinary people. The victory was not entirely her credit. If you think about it carefully, there was nothing to be proud of. The enemies she will face in the future are not these ordinary people with weak fighting power, but zombies who do not know fatigue or pain, zombies that can keep fighting as long as their heads are not smashed, and those who have superpowers but have bad intentions. Awakening superpowers is equivalent to a reorganization of the genes in the human body. All basic qualities of the body will be strengthened. The difference lies in that some people have strong awakened superpowers, while others have weak awakened superpowers, and the degree of strengthening of the body is different. It also determines the strength of a psychic and his potential for future development. "Shuxin" is just a cannon fodder in the original book. Shuxin cannot guarantee whether her arrival will change the fact that her original body has no superpowers. If she hadn't awakened any special powers, there would be no difference between going out to fight with her current strength and going out to deliver food to zombies. Even if she is lucky enough to awaken her superpowers, she will still be unable to cope with the strange and unimaginable superpowers and the mutated plants and animals that are difficult to guard against in the apocalypse if she does not have sufficient strength. Thinking back on all the stupid things he had done during training, Shu Xin wanted to find a hole to crawl into right away. It was so embarrassing. Shu Xin figured it out and understood the reason why Yan Mo asked her to reflect on herself. She obediently accepted the one-hour punishment of standing at attention from Yan Mo, and as soon as it was over, she ran to her husband to apologize. "Click--" Shu Xin didn't find her dear husband in the living room or anywhere else, so she pushed open the door of Yan Mo's bedroom. The dog poked its round head in to observe the situation inside the bedroom. Yan Mo sat behind the desk, taking in all of his wife's little movements, and a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes. Seeing Shu Xin's head was about to turn around, he immediately returned to his expressionless look, lowered his head and pretended to read the book in his hand, waiting for the little thing to come over by herself. Catching sight of Yan Mo's figure, Shu Xin quickly slipped into the room and closed the door behind her. Seeing Yan Mo looking up at her, she immediately put on a flattering smile on her face. She pretended nothing had happened, walked to his side, and put her arm around him. "Hehehe~~~" "What? Have you reflected on yourself?" "Yeah, yes, I have. After an hour of deep reflection, I have clearly realized the mistakes in my mentality during this period. I will definitely learn from it and never make the same mistake again!" Shu Xin's tone was so sincere that she almost patted her chest to make a promise to Yan Mo. Seeing Shu Xin like this, Yan Mo couldn't pretend anymore. He sighed, followed his heart and pulled the person onto his lap. "Xinbao, you must be aware of the cruelty of the end of the world. I will do my best to stay by your side and protect you, but this is just the most ideal state we can think of. Everything in the end of the world is unknown. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that we accidentally separate, I hope you can have absolute self-protection ability and can hold on until I come to find you."

Chapter 35 The world where only Bu Xiangwen was hurt was reached "I can't bear the pain of losing you. I wanted to make you stronger out of my selfishness without considering your feelings or asking for your opinion. Will you blame me for this? Resent me in your heart? And stop liking me then?" The man's voice deepened, and the look in his eyes when he met hers was filled with deep love. Shuxin:? ? ? What amazing new way of speaking had Yan Mo developed in a place that no one could see? Why do I feel like something is wrong? Seeing the man's lost expression after not getting an answer, Shu Xin didn't have time to think about it. She panicked and blurted out: "How is it possible! How could I blame you? Becoming stronger is my own idea and wish. I can't hide in the back while you guys are fighting in the front and I can't help at all." "You didn't deny that you don't like me. Xinbao, have you really lost interest in me? It's okay, tell me the truth, I can accept it." Yan Mo stared at Shu Xin closely, afraid to miss the slightest expression on her face. Perhaps wanting to see the expression on Shuxin's face clearly, Yan Mo moved very close to her, completely unaware of how damaging his behavior would be to Shuxin. "No, I'm extremely interested in you!" Faced with this close-up beauty attack, coupled with the man's seductive voice, Shu Xin was so shocked that she completely lost the ability to think normally. She could only follow the man's words and did not notice the dark light that flashed in the man's eyes. "Oh~ Since Xinbao is so interested in me, as her legal husband, of course I should satisfy my wife's needs. From today on, I will move upstairs to live with you." "Yeah, okay!" After answering, Shuxin's rationality finally came back a little. She stared at Yan Mo, who was smiling with a triumph, in amazement, and opened her mouth, realizing that the other party did it on purpose. No wonder the other party's tone and manner of speaking were different today. It turned out that he just wanted to trap this stupid and cute little white rabbit like me! he, tui~ a scheming dog man! When the two of them lay in the same bed at night, Shu Xin glanced at the man next to her who was obviously in a very happy mood, and the daily necessities that the man had already placed in the bedroom. She touched the man's abdominal muscles which felt great, and sighed resignedly. "Alas~" It's not that our defense is not strong, it's just that the enemy is too cunning and gives too much, making it impossible to refuse. Hehehe, this abdominal muscle feels so good! I wonder if the mermaid line would feel the same way? She took a quick glance and found that the man leaning against the bed reading a book did not notice her movements. Her little hand moved quietly downwards. The closer it got to the target, the brighter her happy eyes became. When she was about to succeed, her evil little hand was firmly held down by a big hand. "Xinbao, if you keep touching me, I'm afraid something will happen on the first night of my stay. Or is Xinbao's behavior itself a hint to me?" Because Ren Yanmo's voice sounded a little hoarse than usual, it did not affect the man's timbre at all, but instead added a hint of indescribable feeling. Being caught doing something bad, Shu Xin's body stiffened and she smiled brightly: "No, no..." Yan Mo looked at Shu Xin meaningfully, released the hand that was restraining her, and said with a smile. "You little pervert, you have the desire but not the courage." Shu Xin's face turned red. She turned around and picked up her cell phone, "dong dong dong" and started hitting the electronic wooden fish, trying to wash away the dirty thoughts in her mind. I secretly swore in my heart that when I turned 20, I would teach this stinky man a lesson sooner or later and let him feel the pain of being able to see but not be able to eat! Seeing Shuxin turn around, Yan Mo's eyes swept over his lower body, he slowly exhaled, and just had to hold on for another year. Shuxin is still too young now and her body is not fully developed yet. If it is too early, it will cause harm to her body. They have a lifetime to live and there is no need to rush at this moment. When Yan Mo went downstairs the next morning, he was surrounded by his two good brothers. There was a strong sense of gossip in their eyes. Bu Xiangwen was even more straightforward and walked around Yan Mo in a circle. "Tsk tsk tsk, look at how happy he is, he is worthy of being a married man! In this lonely and cold night, Qimai and I are left alone to depend on each other. How miserable! It's really too miserable! Brother Mo, do you still remember Bu Yuhe who you left downstairs?" "You are so energetic and you still have time to act. Add one more set of basic training today." "Ah! No! One more set will really kill me!" Bu Xiangwen extended his Erkang hand sadly to Yan Mo's back as he turned and walked into the kitchen. Mu Qimai finished watching a Qiong Yao drama nearby and walked away contentedly with his black coffee. A world was created where only Bu Xiangwen was hurt.

Chapter 36 Gunshots The daily training days are fulfilling but boring. We always need some other things to act as a seasoning to neutralize the tension so that people will not feel depressed. Yan Mo, who has received special training since childhood, and Mu Qimai, who has undergone rigorous training, do not feel that their current life is boring at all. Compared with their previous training life, their current life can be regarded as a paradise. The two people who need proper adjustment are Shu Xin and Bu Xiangwen, so they have one day off every week. Every time it's a day off, Shuxin would use all the entertainment equipment and downloaded movies and TV series that she had stockpiled. No matter whether it is table games, various e-sports, or puzzle games, Yan Mo is always the most sought-after person, because if you can get Yan Mo as a teammate, you have already won 80% of the game. The remaining 20% possibility is in the first round of a new game when Yan Mo is not familiar with it, there is still a chance to beat him. In the evening, the four of them would finish the game and prepare dinner together, with various apocalyptic movies playing on a projector nearby. At the beginning, Shu Xin and Bu Xiangwen were very averse to watching bloody horror movies while eating. The bloody scenes and the tense and terrifying background music made it difficult for them to eat. But now they have adapted to it and can completely comment on the makeup of zombie actors with others while eating. I have to say that human adaptability is terrifying. "Bang——" Early in the morning, a gunshot shattered the quiet sky above the community. Yan Mo and Shu Xin, who were lying in bed, suddenly woke up and opened their eyes. Yan Mo quickly turned over and got out of bed, and opened a gap in the curtain to observe the situation outside. Shuxin's eyes were open, but his mind was still in a dream and not very clear. The second gunshot was accompanied by the woman's pain and screams, which frightened Shuxin's heart and made her mind become extremely clear. She sat up from the bed and turned to look for Yan Mo. Seeing Yan Mo standing by the window, his heartbeat, which had accelerated due to shock, slowly slowed down and his brain started to work. "What's going on?" "There should be thugs from other places who have sneaked into the community. They have guns in their hands. From the sound, they are still some distance away from our building. I don't know how many people are left in the community. Get up and get ready. In case they come, we won't be caught off guard." Yan Mo pulled the curtains again, walked to the bed, bent down and kissed his wife's soft little face, and told her about the situation outside. Following Yan Mo's movements, Shu Xin buried her face in Yan Mo's abdominal muscles and rubbed it contentedly before getting up and getting dressed. Hehehe, relying on the fact that Yan Mo dotes on her and he can't do anything to her, the two of them live together and Shu Xin often takes advantage of Yan Mo. Yan Mo is also happy to spoil her, which leads to Shu Xin's behavior of taking advantage of Yan Mo becoming more and more blatant. Shu Xin and Yan Mo went downstairs and ran into Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai who had just packed up and were leaving the bedroom. They looked at each other, then tacitly went to the equipment depot to get their weapons and went out. Almost everyone in their building had left. People knew that the world had changed, so when they went downstairs, they were no longer as secretive as before, for fear of attracting other people's attention. Gunshots were still heard from time to time in the community. After identifying the direction, Yan Mo and his group quickly and quietly headed towards the place where the gunshots were heard.

Chapter 37: The first murder. The roving thugs chose to enter the community from the entrance closer to Shu Xin and his friends, and the shooting location was far away from the apartment building where Ye Yu'an lived. But Ye Yu'an, who had been struggling in the apocalypse for several years, was very vigilant and very sensitive to gunshots. He quickly packed up himself, took his weapon and went out. When Yan Mo and Shu Xin found the traces of the thugs, they had already looted a building. There were several fresh corpses thrown randomly in front of the building door. There were two or three young-looking girls who were tied up and thrown into the car. There were about a dozen people on the other side. They parked three vans. Five people were left with guns around the vans to guard and keep watch, while the rest were looting supplies and women in the community. "I don't know if there are any better ones to bring back. The rubbish at home has been played with and is boring." "Hey, although these three don't look good, they are young. Maybe they are still virgins! Virgins are much more fun~ you know..." "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to like this." The men looked at the three girls they had just brought back with lustful eyes and said dirty words. The three girls who were already scared were so scared that their faces turned pale. They huddled together trembling, trying to reduce their presence. Yan Mo and the others showed no emotion. Not to mention Yan Mo and Mu Qimai, who had been in contact with the gray and black areas for many years, even Bu Xiangwen, a rich young master born in a large family, had seen quite a few dark sides. Shuxin, the only one who had not seen much of the dark side, began to prepare herself mentally for everything she would face the moment she knew she had traveled to the apocalyptic world. This is still the early days of the end of the world, and the world's malice towards women has already begun to show. Most women are naturally weaker than men in terms of strength and physique. When faced with oppression from men, their ability to resist is almost zero. They, along with the elderly and children, become the three most vulnerable targets to bullying in the apocalypse. The lucky ones can escape the fate of being bullied after awakening their special powers; the unlucky ones cannot survive the early stage of the apocalypse and are tortured to death without even the chance to awaken their special powers to change their fate and seek revenge. The general environment is like this. We cannot change the world, we can only change ourselves. Give yourself the ability to resist injustice and the power to fight against fate. A man walked out alone. Yan Mo, who was in the front, made a gesture. Mu Qimai understood and quietly shrank his body and followed the man away. Less than three minutes later, Mu Qimai returned to his original position, and the person who had just left had been dealt with. There were four people left, and he killed them all with a clean shot, one each. The gun was equipped with a silencer in advance so as not to alert other people who were looting in the building. Shu Xin used her wide sleeves to cover her slightly trembling hands. It was the first time that she personally ended a life, and she was far from being as calm as she appeared. The trembling hand holding the gun was held by another pair of warm and dry hands. He looked up suddenly and his eyes met a pair of deep black eyes. The worry and tenderness conveyed in those eyes instantly soothed Shuxin's helplessness and confusion. Her heart felt like it was soaked in warm spring water, and her fingers that had become cold and stiff from killing regained consciousness. In just a few seconds, Yan Mo gave Shu Xin tremendous strength. Shu Xin curled up the corners of her mouth and gave a soothing smile, indicating that she was fine. Yan Mo used his eyes to confirm again and again that Shu Xin was fine before making the next arrangements.

Chapter 38 Missed The scene that Ye Yu'an saw when he rushed over was a scene of corpses lying on the ground. He could vaguely hear the voices of people talking and suppressed sobs coming from the building next door. After checking that there was no danger around, Ye Yu'an climbed into the building through a broken window on the side. The moment Ye Yu'an entered the building, Shu Xin successfully landed and left from the other side of the building along the safety rope, perfectly avoiding Ye Yu'an. Shu Xin and his men dealt with the group of thugs to avoid any further complications. They took away all the guns in their hands, not leaving a single bullet. This group of people must have robbed the arsenal of a police station. There are not many guns and bullets. A mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat. Hot weapons have become non-renewable resources. No matter how much they stockpile, they cannot match the huge number of zombies. Zombies do not remain in their original form forever; they evolve. To put it bluntly, zombies, like people with special powers, are the product of humans being stimulated by certain external factors and their genes rapidly mutating and recombining in order to adapt to the living environment. A small number of people have good enough physical fitness to withstand the impact of sudden genetic changes, survive the painful and torturous high fever period, awaken special abilities, and become psychics. More than half of the people with average physical fitness cannot withstand such a sudden and drastic change, and they die in the middle of the change. The person died, but the changed genes in the body did not die. They continued to be active and developed in another strange direction, giving rise to zombies. As for the rest of the people, their luck was neither good nor bad. They did not awaken into rare superpowers, nor did they have the misfortune of turning into zombies, which are things that humans hate and ghosts. They were still ordinary normal people. They are also the product of genetic mutation. The upgrade of mutants depends on the crystal cores formed in the zombies' brains, and zombies are no exception. By devouring human flesh and blood and the crystal cores of their own kind, zombies will evolve and become more powerful. The higher the evolutionary level, the closer the zombies' appearance is to that of humans. Without special inspection methods, it is impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye. As the zombies' levels increase, the number of bullets needed to kill a zombie also increases. Bullets, as consumables, are essential resources for them to build their own forces in the future. Except for the four people downstairs who were shot, the rest were killed at close range. These scumbags used bullets to beat them, which was an insult and a waste of bullets. From the group of people who broke into the community today, we can see that the outside is in chaos. The residential complex where they lived was far away from the city center. At a time when gasoline was extremely precious, the gang chose to come to such a faraway place to rob, which meant that other places outside had already been looted or occupied by other forces, leaving them no chance to strike. What's happening outside doesn't affect them, they won't care too much, and living their own life happily behind closed doors is more important than anything else. But Ye Yu'an on the other side was not in such a good mood. He did not see who killed that group of people. When he asked the survivors, they all said that they did not see them. This made Ye Yu'an's heart alarm bells go off. She examined the bodies of the killed residents downstairs. The bullets from the gunshot wounds were not the same as the bullets from the four people who were killed with guns downstairs, so there was no case of the other party robbing and killing the group of people. The only possibility is that there is someone in this community who has a gun and amazing skills, who can take out so many people in a short period of time and escape unscathed. When you are not sure whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, you must be vigilant at all...

Chapter 39: The Armory In just two months, the number of refugees accepted by the shelter in City A reached 70,000, far exceeding the capacity of the shelter. The shelter is overcrowded, but even so, new refugees enter every day. Each of the simply renovated large bunk beds that could accommodate a hundred people was packed with no less than a thousand people, except for a path left for the staff to distribute daily food. At the beginning, there were few people in the shelter, and there was no problem in supplying everyone with three meals a day. As the number of people pouring into the shelter increased, the quantity and quality of food distributed continued to decrease. Now, each person only has a bag of bread or a bag of compressed biscuits, plus a bottle of mineral water every day. Thousands of people live in one house, and there is a mix of all kinds of people. The food distributed by the government can only ensure that they will not starve to death, but don't even think about filling their stomachs. In order to get more food to fill their stomachs, some people became more creative, secretly taking away the food saved by others while others were sleeping, or avoiding official managers to rob food from the weak. The matter became a big deal and was reported to the shelter staff. However, both sides insisted on their own opinions and could not produce any concrete evidence, so the case ended up being left unresolved. The shelter has a limited number of staff members and a lot of people to manage, so conflicts occur all the time. They know exactly what is going on in some things, but they can only choose to turn a blind eye. Otherwise, they will be asked to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and they will not be able to get any work done in a day. In a corner of a room in the shelter "Brother Hanxu, let's leave the shelter and go back to the community. I can't stand this kind of life for another day~" Wang Yayun complained while hugging Du Hanxu's arm. "We can't go back! If we go back we will definitely die! Have you forgotten that crazy woman Ye Yu'an is still in the community?! She already knows that it was us who instigated those people to cause trouble for her. So many men can't do anything to her. What's the difference between us going back and walking into a trap!" Du Hanxu's face turned pale, his eyes widened with anger, and he growled. After hearing Du Hanxu's words, Wang Yayun thought of what she saw that day. Her lips trembled a few times and she lowered her head. Previously, they had persuaded the boss of the building in the community to deal with that little bitch Ye Yu'an. They wanted to see with their own eyes how miserable Ye Yu'an would be, so they found a corner in the place where they surrounded Ye Yu'an and observed secretly. Who knew that Ye Yu'an seemed like a completely different person, completely different from the weak and helpless image they had in their original impression. She had a cold expression and was agile. People kept falling down as she swung her knife. Warm blood splashed on Ye Yu'an's face, but her expression didn't change at all. Du Hanxu and Wang Yayun witnessed the whole process of Ye Yu'an's murder. They were watching in the dark and felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. The temperature was forty degrees below zero and they broke out in cold sweats on their backs. Fearing that Ye Yu'an would cause trouble for them, Du Hanxu and Wang Yayun did not dare to go back to pack their things. They immediately left the community and fled to the shelter. Wang Yayun's words touched Du Hanxu's sensitive and fragile nerves. Du Hanxu, who had lived in a privileged environment since childhood, had never suffered such hardship: not having enough food to eat, living in a room filled with mixed smells, and sleeping on a large bunk bed with thousands of people. During the day, I hear the ups and downs of quarrels and babies crying. At night, I fall asleep to the sounds of snoring, teeth grinding, and talking in sleep. For two months, there was not a moment of peace in his ears. All these things constantly irritated Du Hanxu's fragile nerves. Wang Yayun's words just now were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, triggering Du Hanxu's suppressed emotions. "I'm sorry, Brother Hanxu, I wasn't considerate in what I said." Wang Yayun acted pitiful and lowered her head to hide the resentment that flashed across her eyes. If she hadn't expected the Du family to take her with them when they came to find him, why would she have to follow them all the time and compromise? "Please be patient for a while. I have already asked the soldiers who went out of the shelter to rescue people. If they can contact my family, then we can leave here and live a good life." Du Hanxu was in a very bad mood. He didn't know whether what he said was to comfort Wang Yayun or himself. "Well, I will always be with Brother Hanxu." Wang Yayun seemed not to hear the impatience in his tone. She leaned in Du Hanxu's arms, looking like she was relying on him with all her heart and soul, which made Du Hanxu's anxious heart feel a little comforted. At this time, there are still women willing to follow me wholeheartedly, which is enough to prove my charm. There are people in the community who have returned from the shelter. Shuxin has secretly observed these people through a telescope. It is not difficult to tell from their sallow and tired faces that their life in the shelter was not good. Shuxin could almost imagine the living conditions in the shelter. The original book had a small description of the official shelters, but that was in the later period of the extreme heat. This time, thanks to Yan Mo's reminder, the authorities were not unprepared, and the shelter was built much earlier. The time has been advanced, which means more people are alive and more people are seeking asylum. With more people, resources are limited. To feed more people with limited resources, conditions will naturally deteriorate. I guess now the soldiers are not only searching and rescuing the victims outside, but also searching for supplies non-stop. "Xinbao, are you ready?" "Yes, I'll be there right away!" Shu Xin grabbed her hair, put on her hat, and went out to meet Yan Mo and the others. The last person who broke into the community had a gun, which gave them new ideas. They had guns on them, which could not have been obtained abroad like they did. The only source of guns was the police stations in various areas of City A. All police stations are equipped with armories according to their functional areas, and are equipped with a certain number of guns according to the number of police officers. The number of guns they carry just happens to match the number of guns required for a police station. The police stations are scattered around, and there are not many guns and ammunition inside, so there is still time to collect them later. Their main target is several large armories in City A. There is no need to explain the importance of City A before the end of the world. The weapons equipped in the armory must be the latest and most comprehensive. Because of family reasons, Yan Mo knew the locations of the armories in various areas of City A. Their destination today was the armory closest to their community, which was also the largest armory in City A. At this time, a special forces team drove into City A from another direction. Their target was also the largest armory in City A.

Chapter 40 The hero of the original book appears. The sudden flood and the sudden drop in temperature make the prosperous and bustling super first-tier city lose its former vitality. Looking at it, the whole world seems to be frozen by ice and snow, cold and without a trace of popularity. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it was about to collapse, making people feel extremely irritated. The ground was covered with ice, and even with anti-skid chains the car still couldn't go faster. The driver had to be extremely careful, as the car would slip on the ice if he wasn't careful. "This road is really difficult to travel on. I don't know when this kind of days will end?" Lan Jingming sighed while sitting in the passenger seat. "Yes, we have suffered such a great disaster. There have been heavy rains for three months, and then the temperature has dropped sharply and entered an extreme cold. When will things return to normal? The natural disaster has lasted for nearly half a year, but it feels like a long time has passed. I really miss the old days! I really hope the natural disaster will end soon!" Ke Feiguang, who was sitting in the back, echoed. The others did not speak, but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with what the two of them said. The man sitting in the middle of the back seat suddenly asked, "What if the natural disaster will not end?" The other four were stunned. Except for Zhang Qiu who was driving and could not turn his head, they could only look through the rearview mirror. Lan Jingming, Ke Feiguang and Li Hongsheng all looked at Xiao Lou who was sitting in the middle with his eyes closed. Sensing their gazes, the man slowly opened his eyes, as if he was pierced by the reflection of the ice surface. He slowly narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils were as deep and calm as an ancient well, occasionally flashing a sharp light that made people feel frightened. Ke Feiguang couldn't help but asked first: "Captain, what do you mean by what you just said? Did you get any inside information?" "Yeah." Xiao Lou rubbed his aching forehead and told them the news he had just received from home. "According to the news we got from above, there are rumors that we are about to enter the end of the world, and natural disasters are the sign and beginning of the end of the world." "The core group of people are arguing fiercely about this matter, and they are roughly divided into two factions. One faction believes that the people should not be abandoned and should be rescued as much as possible; the other faction believes that existing resources should be pooled and strength should be preserved to deal with the situation later." Xiao Lou sat up straight with a serious expression. After hearing what Xiao Lou said, the four people fell silent. The carriage became quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere was heavy. They are able to stand out from thousands of outstanding soldiers and become members of the special operations team not only because they are the best in skills, but also because they are the smartest, observing things more carefully and thinking more deeply than others. It's not that they didn't notice the abnormalities of the natural disasters this year, but they still held on to a glimmer of hope or were unwilling to believe that the world had really changed. Xiao Lou's words were tantamount to directly puncturing the fantasy in their hearts, but it was not so difficult to accept. After all, they were prepared in their hearts, but they were unable to change their mindset for the time being. The silence was finally broken unexpectedly. "Bang, bang, bang--" The sound of cars being hit by heavy objects continued to be heard, and a group of people appeared in front... When Xiao Lou and the others were tripped, Yan Mo and the others arrived safely at the armory first. "Tsk tsk tsk, this place is built solidly. The walls outside are so high, and there are barbed wire and electric fences on top. If there was no electricity and no one guarding it, who would be so stupid as to come and cause trouble? Isn't that courting death?" Bu Xiangwen sighed as he looked at the armory in front of him that was built like an iron barrel. "The question is, how do we get in?" Shu Xin followed Yan Mo and asked. Yan Mo reached out his hand and touched the wall, observed around and found a suitable position, took out the dynamite from his bag and said, "Blow it up." "...What a simple and crude method, simple but effective, right?" Shu Xin didn't react for a moment. She never thought that her boyfriend, who was always resourceful, would use such a simple and violent method. "Well, it's only temporary that the upper class people in City A have forgotten about the armory. After all, they are not fools, and soon someone will realize the importance of the armory. Let's get it first before they take any action." Shu Xin was not stupid, and he figured out the key point immediately. The armory is located far away from the urban area, and there is no one living within a radius of ten kilometers. The amount of explosives is calculated to be enough to blow up the wall without causing much vibration. The armory inside is still well preserved, without any signs of erosion by the flood. The door inside cannot be as simple and crude as the wall outside. It contains ammunition and weapons, and one has to be careful when using fire, let alone explosives. Yan Mo gave Shu Xin a look, and Shu Xin understood and took out the things that Yan Mo had prepared the night before going out from the space. Bending down to pick up the things on the ground, Yan Mo and Mu Qimai each worked on the door in front of them. A hole appeared on the door of the armory, which was as sturdy as the door of a bank vault, allowing one person to enter and exit. Shu Xin and Bu Xiangwen were stunned by this operation and said they had never seen it before. "What are you standing there for? Come in." Mu Qimai greeted the two people behind him and followed Yan Mo's footsteps into the armory. "Wow~" "Wow~" Shu Xin and Bu Xiangwen hurriedly followed, and as soon as they came in, they were shocked by the various weapons neatly arranged in front of them. I have to say that it is worthy of being the largest armory in City A. The space inside is estimated to be the size of five or six basketball courts and is about five meters high. Boxes of guns, bullets, and explosives are stacked together, and there are even some new weapons that have just been developed. A few people roughly counted the number of weapons and had an idea of the harvest this time. Yan Mo then took Shu Xin around the field and collected things in the space. In less than fifteen minutes, all the weapons inside were stored in the space by Shu Xin. The four people had just come out and walked not far when they heard the sound of a car coming from afar. Several people looked at each other and quickly hid aside. This area was surrounded by lush vegetation, and the temperature dropped suddenly, so it was directly sealed by ice, forming a natural ice shelter. Shu Xin and the others hid behind it and were completely shielded. The people in that car were obviously also heading for the armory. If they left directly, they would inevitably collide with the newcomers. The armory was empty, and they happened to appear here, which would easily arouse suspicion. The military off-road vehicle slowly stopped and five men got out of the vehicle. Their faces changed when they saw the outer wall that was violently broken. "Captain, the wall has been blown open. It seems someone is faster than us and has gotten there first." Li Hongsheng frowned. Xiao Lou said nothing, walked to the side of the blown-up wall, observed it carefully for a while, and concluded: "It was blown up today..."
