The cold river wind in the early morning woke Zhang Xiaoqiang up. The cold winter wind brought fresh air without the ubiquitous stench of corpses in the city.
The mutated cat stone continued to transfer heat to Zhang Xiaoqiang's body.
It was warm. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to open his eyes. He quietly enjoyed this rare moment of comfort.
A warm breath sprayed on his face. He opened his eyes. Two huge dog heads appeared in front of him.
The breath she exhaled turned into white mist in the winter and hit his face.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's whole body tensed up. He didn't dare to move.
The two big dogs were the Soviet Red Dogs that appeared near his house a few days ago.
Now they were even more majestic. The bigger one was 180 centimeters from head to toe. The smaller one was also more than 170 centimeters.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stayed motionless in the sand pit, letting the two big dogs sniff around him.
In the past, the mutated cat made him suffer. Now it was a more powerful big dog. Moreover, there were two of them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's mouth was bitter: "Brother can't go through today. Watching myself being eaten by dogs. This way of dying is quite creative." Zhang Xiaoqiang thought blindly.
His eyes turned around and secretly looked at the two big dogs in front of him.
The four limbs were thick and slender. The claws on the ground were wider than Zhang Xiaoqiang's palm. The chest was wide and the waist was thin.
The bigger one had a narrow white spot on its forehead.
The smaller one had a tuft of red hair on the tip of its tail.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was waiting for them to eat him. However, they lost interest in him. They took out his backpack from the sand pit and pulled on the sand. After pulling for a while, they whimpered at him.
"Could it be?" Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't have time to think. He unzipped his backpack and took out a plastic bag.
The big dog with red hair on its tail took the plastic bag from Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand. It opened it with its claws and ate the cooked meat and sausages inside.
It didn't take long for the two big dogs to eat it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was bleeding. "That's seven to eight catties of cooked meat and more than ten sausages!
There's nothing left. "After the big red-tailed dog finished eating, it jumped around the bigger dog happily.
The bigger dog continued to sniff at him.
"Is it still not full?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was in despair.
The big dog sniffed at Zhang Xiaoqiang's chest but didn't make any further moves, leaving him at a loss for what to do.
"I don't have milk!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said to the big dog with a sad face.
The big dog was still sniffing. An idea flashed through Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind. He took out the cat stone from his chest and handed it over. "Does the big dog want this?"
The big dog sniffed the cat stone twice, took two steps back and snorted.
He didn't care about the stone anymore and brought the smaller dog to the riverside, playing with each other as they ran.
"Phew …" Zhang Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the two big dogs drinking and playing by the riverside, Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed. "Dogs are better than cats, no wonder they say raising a cat is not as good as raising a dog."
He ate something, put on his backpack and set out on today's journey.
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked on the road, the two big dogs followed him from a distance. When Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped, they didn't approach him. Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered that the mutated cat's eyes were red, but the eyes of these two big dogs were clear.
"Could it be that the mutated cat has rabies?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was puzzled.
This was a small square in the middle of a green belt, there were a few tape recorders on the side of the square.
Seventy to eighty zombies were scattered on the square, there was one S type and two D types.
"It must be the place where the aunties and aunties who live nearby dance." Zhang Xiaoqiang concluded.
Zhang Xiaoqiang put away his binoculars and thought about how to go around. "Whoosh …" There was a sound, two black shadows rushed from behind him to the square, he quickly raised his binoculars to look.
The two big dogs ran between the zombies, occasionally biting off a zombie's head.
The sharp claws of the zombies were useless against the thick fur of the big dogs, the zombies in the square fell to the ground, not long after, there was not a single zombie left standing.
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked forward and saw the two big dogs biting open the skulls of a few evolved zombies, licking the yellow brain matter, eating the brain matter, the big dogs tore the D type's skin and swallowed it.
They didn't pay attention to the normal zombies and the S type's corpses at the side.
After the two big dogs ate the D type, they didn't have enough and kept licking their mouths.
Zhang Xiaoqiang tightened the backpack on his shoulder and continued to move forward.
When they got close to the urban-rural area, the two big dogs barked at Zhang Xiaoqiang a few times, then turned around and ran into the distance, watching the two big dogs' figures gradually disappear. "It's a pity about the two amulets." Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and continued to move forward.
On the side of a ditch that led to the Yangtze River, Zhang Xiaoqiang killed a single zombie.
He pulled out the spearhead from the zombie's head, the zombie fell to the ground, a rusty key fell out of the zombie's pocket.
"Killed a zombie to drop a treasure?" Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the key on the ground and subconsciously looked around for the legendary treasure chest.
He didn't find any treasure chests, but he did find a 28-ton bicycle in a nearby bridge.
In the bicycle basket was a badly deteriorated lunch box, a teacup, and a portable water bottle.
There was a fish basket tied to the back seat, which was filled with fishing tools.
It seems like the owner of the bicycle rode here to fish before he turned into a zombie. He just parked the bicycle when he turned into a zombie.
There was no air in the tires, and they looked flat.
In the end, Zhang Xiao Qiang found a foot pump in the fish basket.
The owner was a careful person.
The condition of the bicycle wasn't bad, and the owner parked it in the bridge to avoid the corrosive rainwater.
Zhang Xiaoqiang pushed the pump out.
The bridge at the end led to the road to the suburbs.
Zhang Xiaoqiang got on the bridge and rode the bicycle towards the suburbs.
Zhang Xiao Qiang was riding his bicycle on the cement roads of the countryside, his feet pedaling quickly, his heart filled with joy: "I can finally be considered a family with a car!"
Although it was just a bicycle, which was worlds apart from a car or a motorcycle, it was much more powerful than walking on foot.
From time to time, scattered zombies on the road would smell his scent and surround him. Zhang Xiao Qiang rode the bike past them and roared past them.
Seeing the S-type zombies behind him getting further and further away, he was so happy he wanted to sing out loud.
"There's a situation!" Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped the bicycle, and raised the binoculars hanging on his chest to observe.
On both sides of the road were rows of fish ponds. The small ones ranged from half an acre to two or three acres.
There was a Honda car parked on the side of the road. Opposite the car was a small iron house. On the mottled and rusted iron, he could vaguely see the words "Tobacco, Non-Staple Food, Fishing Gear for Rent" written in white paint.
In front of the house, there were seven or eight zombies squatting on the ground eating together. A bone arm that had been eaten clean fell to the side, and the remaining fingers were tightly clutching a bottle of mineral water.
"An unlucky guy!" Looking at the remains, Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head. He wanted to go around it.
Then he remembered that the fast food noodles in his backpack had been eaten. Nearly 20 pounds of cooked meat and sausages were fed to the dogs. There were only two pieces of bread left, which was only enough for one meal.
Although there was a lot of rice, what if he couldn't use it for cooking? Was he supposed to eat it raw?
Zhang Xiaoqiang parked the car next to the house. He picked up the spear and walked behind the zombies. The zombies only cared about the food in their mouths and ignored him.
There was no difficulty at all. Zhang Xiaoqiang was like a child stabbing frogs in the field. One by one, he stabbed all the zombies to death.
Entering the small store, the goods in the store weren't very complete, and the quantity wasn't large.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was afraid that the smell of blood would attract the zombies in the distance. He didn't pick and just casually put everything into his bag. He filled his bag with all kinds of food and mineral water. Before he left, he also took a few cans of beer and put them in his pocket.
Walking to the bicycle, he glanced at the Honda. "What a pity!
Why didn't I learn how to drive? "Zhang Xiaoqiang complained. He didn't remember that he didn't learn to drive because he was afraid of getting into an accident.
Looking at it one last time, Zhang Xiaoqiang set up a frame and prepared to ride it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly turned his head and stared at the Honda's window. "That's right. Although I can't see very clearly, I can see that there is a shadow inside."
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to the front of the Honda and looked inside through the windshield. There was a person sitting in the passenger seat staring blankly at the direction of the small store outside the window. She had shoulder-length hair. Her clothes were dirty and full of dirt. It was impossible to tell the original style and color.
"It's not a zombie!" Zhang Xiaoqiang was sure. He had never seen a zombie that could be so quiet.
Zhang Xiaoqiang opened the car door. A stench rushed out. Even his nose, which had been tested by the smell of corpses for a long time, couldn't stand it.
Her face was pale and malnourished. Her face was still clean, but her eyes were a little cloudy.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was excited: "A woman!
Still, still alive. "
