Chapter 27: Living Like You Is Meaningless

The zombie crisis erupted on a large scale, various mutated plants and animals constantly evolved, the human survival range continued to shrink, and various resources became increasingly scarce.

Therefore, regardless of which human survival area, there was an urgent need for warriors who could go out of the city to search for resources and soldiers who could fight against zombies to defend their homes. The so-called base training camps also came into being.

People died every day in the training camps, and new recruits were also recruited every day. Survival of the fittest, the best survive, the strong are respected. If you can climb all the way up, it means not only gaining glory and being admired, but also having more and better resources…

For example, those who came out of camp A are eligible to live in the ancient castle villa area of the headquarters of the 14th District base, with top-notch food, clothing, and supplies. Whether it is medical resources or hot weapons resources, they are all at the forefront of technology.

Wen Yao’s goal is to obtain the Awakener for ability users. To achieve this goal, she doesn’t necessarily have to rely on Ji Mingchen.

She owes him enough favors. It’s too greedy to be saved by him and then try to get resources from him.

It’s better to fight your way up. She could do it in Beizhou, and she can do it in Dongzhou as well.

The sky had completely darkened, and a drizzle began to fall.

Inside the concrete building’s roller shutter door, there was a broken wooden table, with a woman in uniform sitting at the table, and several armed guards standing beside her.

The woman held a pen and paper to register: “Next.”

Wen Yao stepped forward through the mud puddles. The woman looked up at her, then raised her head to look at her.

Looking at the beautiful little girl in ragged clothes, the woman asked: “Camp D?”

Wen Yao: “I don’t have any gold coins, I’m going to Camp F.”

The woman didn’t want to say anything more, but perhaps it was because the little girl looked too naive, and she was really beautiful, so she couldn’t help but feel pity:

“Camp F is very chaotic, it’s full of big men, there are even criminals inside, you’re a little girl, your safety won’t be guaranteed there, why don’t you ask your family to save up some gold coins and go to Camp D?”

Wen Yao frowned: “I’m a new refugee, I don’t have a family.”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then suggested: “Then go to the survivor residential area in the city, it’s relatively safe there.”

There is no refugee shelter in the Dongzhou District, and the survivor residential area also has no one responsible for providing food and shelter. Living there also requires money.

Generally, the family members of the members of the training camps live there. In other words, if you don’t have someone earning money outside, you won’t be able to survive in the safe survivor residential area, unless, you sell yourself.

Wen Yao shook her head: “I’m going to Camp F.”

The woman didn’t say anything more, she picked up her pen and started to register: “Name.”

Wen Yao thought for a moment: “Qiu Yao.”

“Age.”

“22.”

“What did you do before?”

Wen Yao fabricated a story for herself: “I used to hang out with hunters, now my companions are all dead, I followed the refugees and wandered here.”

The woman looked at her with pity again, and threw her a set of clothes that had just been stripped from a dead person: “Go, turn left.”

Wen Yao looked at the gray and smelly work clothes in her hand and asked: “No weapons?”

The woman replied: “Camp F doesn’t provide weapons, you have to figure it out yourself, if you snatch it or find it, it’s yours. The shovel in your hand is pretty good, don’t lose it.”

“…”

“Okay, thank you.”

…

Half a month later, a shiny black car drove into the city of Gangqiao. It was already night, the moon was rising in the east, and the stars were gradually brightening.

After nightfall, Gangqiao was dim and cold. The towering buildings seemed to be just decorations, without any light at all, only the cold streetlights on the ground emitted a faint glow.

“Boss, are you going back to the ancient castle villa or?” Di Dahu asked.

The man in the back seat lay back in his seat, massaging his temples and closing his eyes. When he heard this, he didn’t even open his eyes, as if he hadn’t woken up yet, he lazily said: “What day is it today?”

“Today is… April 8th.” After speaking, Di Dahu was stunned, then nodded: “Okay, boss, I’ll turn around and go to Rose Garden.”

…

The night was thick, the dark blue night sky was covered with dark clouds, the cool wind swept across a sea of blood-red roses, countless flowers swayed chaotically, and the white curtains on the top floor of the church gently fluttered, disturbing the candlelight in the top floor attic, casting a ghostly shadow.

The spacious attic was brightly lit. In the center of the round altar stood a transparent ice coffin, in which a man with an ordinary appearance but a gentle and kind temperament was sleeping.

And a man was also sleeping on the jade steps outside the ice coffin. The man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his closed peach blossom eyes were long and narrow, his lips were bright red, making his face look beautiful and demonic.

His facial features were sharp, and when there was no one else around, he wouldn’t smile. When he tore off that layer of false pretense, his expression became gloomy and cold.

Today was his elder brother’s death anniversary. Ji Mingchen originally just came here to accompany his elder brother for a while, but he fell asleep like this.

He even had a dream, again from his childhood.

The images were fragmented, one by one, one frame by one frame, all his past.

A young child came home from school, his father was busy researching in the basement, his mother always had a cold face, drinking bitter coffee while staring at the TV.

The huge villa was cold and empty. In the whole house, only his elder brother was kind to him, caring about his life, tutoring him, and teaching him how to be a human being.

His elder brother was kind-hearted, he liked white, he liked to smile. When he was young, he always wore a white shirt and neat suit pants, like a little adult, taking on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.

His elder brother always knelt down in front of him and said with a smile: “There are no parents in the world who don’t love their children, Dad loves you, Mom loves you too.”

“Dad is just too busy with work, Mom is just having a fight with Dad, they both love you, little Achen, don’t think too much…”

However, the kind lie shattered like a mirror, turning into a cold corpse and a cruel and bloody blade.

His elder brother died, he died on the table in his father’s research room.

His mother went crazy, she took a dagger and stabbed him into a sieve.

“You little bastard, you little bastard! It’s all your fault! You killed your brother!!!”

“Do you have a heart! He was so good to you, do you have a heart…”

The room was dim, a faint light came through the gaps in the curtains, the woman who had gone crazy was choking the little boy’s neck, stabbing him again and again, blood splattered on her ferocious face, blurring her features.

The little boy pressed against the cold floor tiles, spitting out blood, his beautiful eyelashes were covered with blood beads, his face was pale, his lips moved, and he called out sadly and painfully: “…Mom.”

“…”
