460: Message conveyed, excitement

Seven days later.

In the City shrouded by the apocalypse, the color of deathly silence deepened.

People starving beyond endurance risked venturing into the City to search for food, but most only ended up adding to the Zombie horde.

Subway station.

"Bang ~"

The emaciated corpse of an Old woman, starved to skin and bones, was thrown into the shadowy corner of the safe zone by two people with sunken cheeks and sallow complexions.

"Dogzi Ge, I remember, it seems there were other corpses here, right?"

One of the two looked towards the place where no light could be seen, seemingly only seeing a pile of clothes.

The person called Dogzi Ge had drooping eyelids and eyes full of death.

"Damn it, some guy must have secretly eaten them!" Dogzi Ge cursed, then looked at the Old woman's corpse with green eyes.

Hungry, so hungry!

The two bags of rice Wu Gen brought had been eaten up two days ago.

Even if the porridge was cooked thinner and thinner, it couldn't last long at all.

After all, there were over eighty people here, eighty-plus mouths!

Coupled with the large amount of water Zhao Ling brought before, it was now almost at the bottom.

The newly formed search team was completely incomparable to when Zhao Ling was around.

For several days, they returned empty-handed every time.

So compared to seven days ago, the current situation was undoubtedly more severe!

In a house not far from the subway station.

The Zombies here had been cleared out by Zhao Ling once before.

There were only scattered two or three, wandering in the distance.

And in this house, the new Captain of the search team, Wu Gen, was with his four new teammates, rubbing their hands in anticipation around a large bowl of rice.

These five men were the new search team for the subway station.

At the subway station, people had already begun to starve to death.

Yet, they were here waiting to eat.

Looking at their still relatively healthy complexions, it was not difficult to guess that they had eaten outside like this more than once.

"Wu Ge, are we not bringing anything back to the subway station at all?"

Among the few, one said with some unease.

Their search team hadn't brought anything to eat for those people for several days.

If this continued, when those people below got so hungry they started eating people, they would be the primary targets.

"Bring what?" Wu Gen grabbed a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth: "We don't owe them anything? Giving them two bags of rice was already good, and they still want to take things from me to eat?!"

As he spoke, Wu Gen's face was full of resentment.

He originally thought Zhao Ling would be back soon, which was why he took out two bags of rice to get everyone on the same side.

By then, even if Zhao Ling wanted to investigate the truth, he would return without success.

However, what he didn't expect was.

Until now, Zhao Ling had not returned!

Because of this news, he had given away two bags of rice for nothing!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"But that Old man Zhou, he's the Village Chief of Zhou Village, and among the survivors, there are over thirty people from Zhou Village who listen to him."

"If we keep fooling them like this, they will definitely make a move on us!"

Opposite Wu Gen, the young man with glasses, Cui Shun, frowned and reminded him.

"Yeah, when we went back empty-handed yesterday, I saw a person from Zhou Village next to me, looking at me with green eyes, like he wanted to eat me."

Next to Cui Shun, a Man in his late twenties also looked worried.

These days, they hadn't gone out to search for supplies at all.

Coming out was just for a meal.

And under the life-sustaining food shared by Wu Gen, these few people were already standing in the same camp as Wu Gen.

"Damn it, how about, Wu Ge, we just find a good place to stay ourselves?" Someone in the back suggested.

However, as soon as he said this, it drew speechless headshakes from the people around.

Wu Gen also looked at him like an idiot: "Find another place to stay? Where?"

"At the subway station, there were hundreds of people who built defensive structures back then, that's the safest place right now, and also where you don't have to worry about Zombies the most when sleeping."

After saying this, Wu Gen sighed slightly: "Let's still go and look around the Domain that Zhao Ling swept through before, just pick up some scraps to get by."

"And we can't just rely on these two bags of rice ourselves either."

"When Old man Zhou and those people from Zhou Village are starving beyond endurance, the subway station will belong to us."

"Okay, we'll listen to Wu Ge." Cui Shun pushed up his glasses and nodded.

...

"Whoosh ~"

Torn newspapers, carried by the bloody, cold air, drifted down and landed gently.

Wu Gen and his group, pushing bicycles, walked cautiously through the street.

The bicycles were to prevent being unable to escape if discovered by Zombies.

"Quite a few more Zombies have come."

Cui Shun wiped the sweat from his palms and tightened his grip on the baseball bat in his hand.

These Zombies all looked skin and bones.

Clearly, they were survivors similar to them.

Risking coming out for food, and ending up like this.

Wu Gen looked towards the corner of the street.

That was a snack wholesale store.

There were six Zombies nearby.

Seeing this scene, Wu Gen immediately gave up the idea of looking for food.

It was still very dangerous.

You only have one life, and he still had quite a bit of rice, to be safe, it was better to rest.

"How about, let's just forget it?"

Among the crowd, someone said softly, and this also spoke Wu Gen's intention for him.

"Let's go back and make a long-term plan." Wu Gen nodded.

After he spoke, the people around him were already hesitant, and now they were even more convinced by Wu Gen.

"Whoosh ~"

And just at this moment, a cold wind blew a few sheets of paper in front of Wu Gen and his group.

"What is this?"

In the search team, one person looked at the brand new paper and picked it up from the ground.

And after roughly seeing the content on it, the Man's face instantly flushed with excitement.

"Wu, Wu Ge!" The Man lowered his voice, wanting to say something, but was so excited he was incoherent for a long time, unable to form a single sentence.

Finally, he directly handed the propaganda paper in his hand to Wu Gen.

Wu Gen frowned and took the propaganda paper.

And Cui Shun, who was beside him, picked up another floating propaganda paper from the ground.

"Army! Two hundred thousand Army are coming to wipe out the Zombies in Rong City? To save us?!"

After seeing the content on the propaganda paper, Wu Gen's breathing also became rapid.

"Is this true?" Wu Gen still asked in disbelief.

"It must be true!" Cui Shun looked excitedly at the propaganda paper in his hand, then pointed upwards.

"Look, this propaganda paper, it's on the treetops, on the tops of tall buildings, and in the Zombie horde!"

"This means the person who issued this notice dropped the propaganda paper using an airplane!"

"At this time, besides the Army, who else has an airplane?!"

The more Cui Shun spoke, the more excited he became: "And, it's impossible for anyone to use this to deceive us."

"According to the notice, we just need to wait until May 27th, as long as we survive until then, we can wait for the Army to come and save us!"

Hearing Cui Shun's analysis, Wu Gen and the few people behind him were extremely excited!

It's true, this is actually true!

Today is May 23rd!

This means, including today, they only need to wait four days to receive rescue, return to the base, and enjoy the long-dreamed-of treatment from before the apocalypse!

"Hahahahaha..."

The few people in the search team were overjoyed, their laughter extremely twisted.
