Lost Land (GL)

Chapter 52

After that day, temporarily putting aside the worries brought by the zombies and the doctor, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Mo Ran learned from Mo Bai's painful voice that her mother had been buried under a tree.

She didn't say anything. She hugged him tightly, then, like she was possessed, took an axe and chopped zombies in the apartment complex. She single-handedly eliminated all the remaining zombies in the apartment complex, which had been left behind by the zombie tide.

She stood at her mother's grave from dawn till dusk.

Huang Shan wanted to go home. He had been wanting to go back for a long time. Mo Bai and Mo Ran accompanied him home. The journey wasn't difficult, but the outcome was unsatisfactory.

His door was wide open, the entrance was as bloody as a crime scene, and there were zombies wandering inside. From the scraps of clothing left on the corpses on the ground, he recognized his parents.

That day, surprisingly, no one joked. Everyone mourned for the slightly overweight boy, helping him move his parents' bodies to the side of where Mo Ran's mother was buried.

Three small wooden tombstones stood alone in the wind.

For some reason, no one lived in the building where Mo Ran and the others lived. They searched every house, and besides zombies, there were no living people.

They didn't see anyone in the house with the child they had met before. To be precise, they didn't see any living people. There were only two thin, dry corpses. The child's mother was holding him, and they lay in bed, starved to death in their sleep.

How tragic.

The group spent a day cleaning up the building, burying many corpses in the garden downstairs. The nameless graves had signs that only listed the gender, date of burial, and address.

Next was the construction of the apartment complex's defenses. Everyone worked together to build barriers around the complex. During this process, they encountered some survivors from the complex.

The survivors were initially observing silently from their homes. When they saw them cleaning up the zombies and then starting to build barriers, some of them came out.

Some of them came out to find food, some came to find the graves of their infected family members, and some said they wanted to help them build, putting their words into action.

For safety and for the sake of their lives, Mo Ran and the others usually didn't use their abilities when killing zombies, but they were still accidentally discovered by the survivors.

However, to their surprise, the survivors didn't think they were monsters with terrifying powers. They accepted them very quickly and even spontaneously organized themselves to pledge allegiance to them, seeking protection.

Among them were old people, young people, children, and even a pregnant woman. Not all the survivors in the complex came to seek refuge. Most of them were vulnerable groups.

The elderly and children, needless to say, couldn't survive on their own. And the pregnant woman, whose husband had died, said she would do anything, as long as they would take her with them when they went to find food, and she wouldn't be a burden to everyone.

Some of the young people who could work hoped to join them, saying they could kill zombies. Others simply wanted to add defenses to their own place. They helped build barriers but otherwise acted on their own.

The elderly man with the child said that he was just a pile of bones and didn't matter, but he hoped they would help them a little for the sake of the child. He took out his jewelry and other valuables to give them.
