464: It’s fake, all fake!

Twenty minutes later.

There were seven people left standing.

On the ground lay the bodies of six Zombies and three Humans who had been infected and had their heads smashed by Wu Gen and the remaining people.

Looking at the snack wholesale store in front of him, Wu Gen bared a mouth of yellow teeth, his gaunt cheeks smiling hideously like a skeleton.

Finally, there's food!

With these things...

Even if the Army's operation was delayed by ten days to half a month, he could last!

With a pleasant mood, several people strode into the snack wholesale store.

But they didn't know... the moment they stepped inside was the moment they plunged a sharp knife into their own hearts!

On the street sign, Nie Fangping always watched these people in front of him.

After these people entered the snack wholesale store, his consciousness sank into another body — the "Human Body Shell".

"Food, so much food!"

"With these, we can definitely last until the Army arrives!"

After the members of the search party behind them walked in, they looked at the dusty packaged food around them and whispered excitedly.

Even now, their primary concern was still the arrival of the Army, followed by food.

Wu Gen directly grabbed a packet of flatbread nearby, tore it open, and started gnawing wildly.

The people behind him also couldn't help but stuff the food into their mouths.

As they ate these things, they felt fortunate, realizing how correct the choice to take down these six Zombies had been!

Cui Shun was also chewing on a piece of bread. As his gaze shifted, he looked down at his feet with some confusion.

At his feet... there was a stack of promotional papers.

And the content on these promotional papers was clearly the news that the Army would come to rescue them.

"Why are there so many of these things here?"

"Bang ~" Suddenly, a sound came from inside the wholesale store.

Hearing this sound, the search party members who were eating were startled and looked towards that direction vigilantly.

This was a room inside the wholesale store.

Before everyone could react, the door of that room opened slightly, and the figure of A Man appeared before everyone's eyes.

Seeing that it was a 'Human', the search party members breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys... dealt with those Zombies outside?"

The Man behind the door's voice held some surprise and uncertainty, and his expression was full of vigilance.

This vivid facial expression was no less impressive than a movie star.

"Heh heh, you kid are really lucky. After the Zombie virus outbreak, you hid in such a treasure trove."

Wu Gen picked up another sausage, put it in his mouth, and spoke with a hint of jealous displeasure.

"It's more than just good luck." The greasy Middle-aged Man next to him drank his beverage and also said unhappily, "The Army is coming to clear things up soon. By then, this kid can be directly taken to the Base City by the Army."

"Guarding a wholesale store, not going hungry at all, and then being directly taken to the Base City, this is even better luck than those rich second-generation kids being born."

As the words fell, the several people beside them shrugged and smiled, shaking their heads.

"The Army is coming to clear things up and rescue people?" Behind the door, the Man's tone was surprised: "Really?!"

"Is the Army really coming?!"

"Where did you get the news? Did the Base City contact you?"

The Man's two consecutive questions contained extreme anticipation and shock.

Cui Shun looked at him, his eyebrows raising strangely.

He kicked the stack of promotional papers beside his feet: "You collected so many of these, and you still don't know the news that the Army is coming? Are you playing dumb?"

Wu Gen gnawed on the sausage, picked up the promotional paper on the ground, and said, "So many of these, it looks like you printed them. If you knew the Army was coming, why are you pretending to be dumb here?"

As he spoke, Wu Gen unscrewed a bottle of water and poured it into his mouth.

But the next moment...

The words of the Man behind the door made him cough violently twice, choking uncomfortably.

"These... I printed these."

"Before the power went out, I was bored and printed them with the printer."

The Man behind the door's voice was so light and airy.

It also carried a certainty that this was naturally the case.

"You printed them?!"

The crowd, who had been eating heartily, froze all over upon hearing this, standing dumbfounded on the spot, losing all appetite.

One person among them even widened his eyes and strode towards the Man behind the door.

He pushed open the door and grabbed the other person's collar.

"You printed them? You spread that news?! It's fake?!"

The search party member's breathing was rapid.

His bloodshot eyes indicated his extremely fluctuating emotions.

"Yeah, look, in my room, the printer and computer are still here, and there are some drafts that haven't been printed yet."

The Man seemed completely unaware of the change in everyone's attitude. He 'innocently' opened the door, revealing the computer desk beside him and the pile of promotional papers on it to everyone's eyes.

At this moment, the members of the entire search team felt as if their souls had been torn apart and shattered.

"No, impossible!" Cui Shun didn't even bother with his food and stumbled into the room.

And when he saw everything in the room clearly, and saw the promotional paper that was half-printed on the printer, he stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.

"I thought you guys had contacted the military zone. Turns out you saw these things I printed and misunderstood."

In the room, the relatively clean Man spoke.

"Bang!"

Cui Shun punched the Man in the face, making him fall to the ground in 'pain'.

"No, it's impossible that you printed this!"

"How did you know what the Base City looked like? On this promotional paper, there are pictures of the Base City's walls!"

Cui Shun's eyes were wide, and his voice was practically hysterical.

Fortunately, it was raining, so his voice didn't attract Zombies.

And facing these hysterical words, the Man covered his face and lightly uttered a sentence: "Didn't photos of City walls like this used to be all over the internet before the apocalypse came and the power and internet went out?"

"You!!" Hearing this, Cui Shun grabbed his hair with both hands, his fingers digging into his scalp, his gaze searching the room everywhere, as if trying to find a shred of evidence to prove that everything the Man in front of him said was false!

"What is this? Is it drugs?! You're high and talking nonsense, right?!"

His gaze fixed on a can of white crystalline powder in the room, Cui Shun seemed to have grasped a key point and asked the Man on the ground with bulging eyes.

"This... This is sodium cyanide."

The Man explained, "Before, when I was injured and went outside to look for medical supplies, I found this can."

"Sodium cyanide." Of course, Cui Shun knew what this was.

It is a highly toxic chemical substance, and just 0.1 grams can cause poisoning and death.

"With this stuff, relatively speaking, suicide is a bit more comfortable than other methods." The Man on the ground twitched his mouth, revealing teeth stained with blood from the punch.

Cui Shun withdrew his gaze in disappointment.

After that, there was an unparalleled rage.

"It was you! You lied to all of us!"

Cui Shun gnashed his teeth and roared, stomping down on the Man on the ground with one foot after another.

And behind him...

Wu Gen and the others had also gathered around.

Seeing Cui Shun's appearance, they instantly understood that the content on those promotional papers was fake!

Everything was fabricated by this guy in front of them!

No one would come to save them, no one would ever save them!

They could only rot and wait for death in this apocalyptic City!

"Ah!!"

Someone collapsed to their knees, looking like they had gone mad.

Even more people raised the iron rods in their hands and smashed them heavily towards the "Human Body Shell" on the ground!

A few minutes later.

The "Human Body Shell" became an unrecognizable corpse.

And the members of the search party were all kneeling on the ground, one by one.

It was as if their trunks had been pulled out, and they leaned against the wall, completely without strength.

"Fake, the Army is fake, it's all fake!"

"No one knows we're here, no one cares about us, we've been forgotten, we can only eat these things that are about to expire, and silently wait for death..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Among the search party, someone was so devastated that they started laughing maniacally.
