Chapter 932: Chapter 648: Near Completion, Xiao Xue Falls at Night
The night wind rustled.
It was the season of autumn, yet the temperature felt like winter.
They were not far from the Tropic of Cancer, but the temperature remained as low as minus ten degrees.
It might be slightly better during the day, but still colder than it was before Doomsday.
Before Doomsday, winter temperatures barely reached zero, let alone minus ten degrees.
During the nights of Doomsday, the weather turned exceptionally cold, with temperatures plummeting to minus ten degrees.
The cold wind howled, dispersing all warmth and vitality, leaving only coldness and dead silence.
The surrounding natural environment was also gradually undergoing some changes.
Withered trees lay fallen on the ground, and dry branches made sharp noises in the wind.
The ground was covered with a thin layer of frost, as if nature had draped the Doomsday world with a cold mantle.
In the distance, the mountains were shrouded in darkness, appearing like epitaphs silently witnessing the world’s end.
The night sky was unusually clear, without the light pollution of cities, with stars twinkling as if silently praying for the Doomsday world.
.....
"So cold." Zhou Xiaou tightened his clothes; it was getting colder and colder.
The frost on the ground crunched underfoot.
With fallen leaves and branches, Zhou Xiaou gathered up the wood and leaves from the ground, placing them by the car and lighting a fire.
The heater in the car was off; it consumed too much fuel.
Apart from them, others also lit several fires for warmth.
Zhou Zhisheng came to Zhou Xiaou’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You’ve worked hard today."
Zhou Xiaou looked up and, seeing it was Zhou Zhisheng, hurriedly stood up and said, "No, no, big brother, where are we heading next?"
Many among them didn’t know where their destination was.
Initially, they thought they were going to build a base of their own, and they were excited for a long time. Later, without parting ways with the Liu Family, they kept moving until they reached here.
This place was already within the borders of Yun Province.
Zhou Zhisheng stood dazedly gazing at the fire, also somewhat confused, unsure if joining the Liu Family to go to the Red River beneath Kun City was the right decision.
Seeing Zhou Zhisheng lost in thought, Zhou Xiaou didn’t disturb him further.
He quietly squatted beside the fire to keep warm.
The cold wind blew, making the fire burn more vigorously, crackling loudly.
"We are heading to Kun City; we should arrive tomorrow. Get some rest early." Zhou Zhisheng spared Zhou Xiaou from further watch.
He then got up and left.
Watching Zhou Zhisheng’s departing figure amidst the cold wind and dark night, Zhou Xiaou felt a sense of desolation.
His eyes glittered, unsure of what he was thinking.
Liu Cunyi, too, was by the fire, studying tomorrow’s route on a map in the light of the fire.
They were in a small town under a small county in Shao City, very close to the Gaoqiao Highway; they could drive straight to Kun City tomorrow, assuming nothing unexpected happened.
The weather was frigid.
In the driving school, there were some dilapidated houses.
Though the walls were mottled and the rooms old with an unpleasant odor, they provided shelter from the cold wind.
Zhou Zhisheng and Liu Cunyi carefully arranged for personnel to be on watch, doubling the number of watchmen.
They also required the watchmen to stay outdoors, not hide in a room due to the cold.
They were growing; after enduring a night of zombies, they took the watch shifts more seriously.
The town was small, but there were some zombies.
These zombies, sensing the presence of humans, were gradually gathering and approaching.
A team of a dozen people and a team of several hundred people did not generate the same amount of human presence.
The Zhou and Liu families had hundreds of people, attracting nearby zombies.
Some zombies were also climbing out of the river.
As night fell.
On duty, Zhou Aji saw the zombies outside and quickly informed the others.
Zhou Zhisheng and Liu Cunyi hastily arrived at the main entrance.
The entrance was blocked by a vehicle; they climbed onto it to see outside directly.
The driving school’s courtyard wall wasn’t very thick, only about forty centimeters, insufficient to stand on.
Thus, the watch personnel drove vehicles to the wall’s vicinity and stood on them, using the vehicle height to observe their surroundings.
Not many zombies had arrived, less than a hundred.
With the wall as a barrier, although the zombies roared, they were helpless against them.
Zhou Zhisheng and Liu Cunyi, seeing this scene, felt slightly relieved.
They considered their experience increased; in the future, when venturing out, they must find a place with walls; otherwise, merely fending off zombies would be very difficult.
The zombies at night were extremely frenzied, desperately pounding on the big iron gate, producing a bang-bang sound.
This noise also woke the others within the driving school.
Zhou Xiaou decided not to sleep and, with a few others, went to the wall.
They had many vehicles, enough to accommodate two hundred people standing.
They were not lacking in experience in battling zombies from atop walls.
Back in the Western Alliance, they had fought zombies.
Back then, to conserve bullets, they used extended spears to stab the zombies in the head.
It only required a stick attached to the spear.
They had long been prepared, so everyone used the extended spears to kill the zombies.
One and a half hours later, they had killed all the zombies.
Aside from one unlucky fellow, who accidentally slipped and fell over the wall, getting bitten to death by zombies, there were no other casualties.
