The Tenth Year of the End of the World"

21-24

ear.
　　I rummaged around the house for a while and found a small pile of miscellaneous things. This little thing is definitely not enough. It's still early outside, so I'm going to go outside to take a look. I will definitely take Jiang Yang with me. I don’t worry about leaving him here alone. Who knows if a zombie will suddenly jump out from any corner.
　　Zombies are different from the movies we watched before. They don’t make that kind of terrifying roar. They are usually silent. At the beginning, they were heavy when walking, which was different from ordinary people. , now it has become a one-person operation, and they don't even make much sound when walking. So if you don't pay attention while walking outside, accidents can easily happen, and a zombie might suddenly pounce from behind.
　　Although I gave Jiang Yang a hatchet, I had never used his hatchet to chop zombies. I gave it to him for self-defense, but I never thought of letting him chop zombies. , after all, if you really think about it, he is not even half a year old.
　　When we left the room, Jiang Yang put the rabbit in his arms next to the pile of things I found, and patted the rabbit's ears. I didn't expect him to take the initiative to put down the rabbit. It's not convenient to take a toy out, but if he really wanted to take it, I wouldn't refuse.
　　He is usually very obedient and sensible, but now I feel more and more that he is more sensible than I thought. Are these scaly children all like this?
　　I took Jiang Yang to search for useful things in this area. When it was almost dark, I searched both buildings here hastily. My goal is very clear. I put the things I have thought about looking for first. If I come across other things, I will just take them. If I don’t see them, forget about them. I won’t go out of my way to look for them.
　　Although there are few zombies here, they are not without them after all. If there is a big commotion, I am worried that they will gather here, and it will be troublesome if they are trapped. Those zombies can't eat or drink, but Jiang Yang and I can't.
　　I hurriedly browse through every room before leaving. When I encounter zombies, I go around the ones I can and chop down the ones I can’t. One knife at a time, it seems that the chop is very easy, but it is actually not an easy task. I have to spend a lot of effort to directly chop the zombie's neck, so after more than ten chops, my hands will get sore.
　　Try to maintain your physical strength, try not to make too much noise, and always pay attention to your surroundings. This is the rule I learned after wandering in the zombie city. As long as you are careful and quiet enough, you can live in this kind of dead city.
　　The harvest of this day was not big, but I found some small things I wanted. At night, Jiang Yang and I stayed in the room we first entered, and I was sorting out those little things.
　　Actually, this is very strange, because I have been in that village for two years. In addition to searching around the village when I first went there, I also went to nearby small shops outside the town. The shop was shaken for a while, and I never went out again. Maybe I was tired of it. I noticed that my mental state was not very good at that time, but I didn't want to worry about it.
　　From the end of the world to the present, how many people still have no mental problems at all? Everyone has something wrong with them to some extent.
　　But I noticed changes in myself. Just like this time when I came to Hanyang, I was not as resistant as before. Before Jiang Yang appeared, I had planned to come to Hanyang City, but I still didn't come. After all, it was partly because of my resistance. I hate these dead cities where zombies roam.
　　The night in the city is very quiet, even if there are so many zombies walking around, there is no sound. I was very focused when I was searching for things outside, and I would notice everything going on around me. This was very energy-consuming, so now I feel very tired. But I can't sleep, just like a few years ago, when I was hiding in the dead city, staring at my eyes and unable to fall asleep every night, and I could only fall asleep when I was extremely tired.
　　Rather than falling asleep, it is better to say that I was forced to sleep.
　　I can’t sleep. I have too many bad memories that occurred in this dead city. Looking at the dark shadows cast by the tall buildings outside the window, I silently hugged the sleeping Jiang Yang tightly in my arms and took a deep breath.
　　In the next two days, I began to leave these two residential buildings and head out to the streets.
　　That street is an old street. Most of the houses on the street are only two or three floors, and there are no bright and beautiful high-rise buildings like those on the main road outside. The houses here are cramped and the shops are messy. I saw grocery stores and small pharmacies, as well as some tailor shops and photo studios. These are all in the past, and even ten years ago they seemed old.
　　But with most of the cities being looted, only these inconspicuous little places can still have something left, which has brought a lot to a solitary traveler like me. of convenience.
　　The food in the grocery store has long been gone, and all the slightly useful things have been removed. I rummaged through it, except for a body that was starving to death hiding in a cupboard. The body contained only some undrinkable drinks, cola, and things like a rocker, a washbasin, and a mop. I had already expected this situation. It is not easy to find what you want in the city.
　　I couldn’t find anything useful in several shops, but in the yard of a bicycle repair shop, I found a pedal tricycle, although the chain was a little bit loose. It was rusty, but I checked it and thought it might work with some oil.
　　I am very happy. If I don’t find a more suitable tool later, I will ride this tricycle back. Although the bucket in the back is not big, it can still hold a lot of things.
