Dark Civilization - Chapter4

"Are we going to hide here forever?"

Ye Zhu looked at the clean room. Because the surroundings were very clean, there was not even a cockroach or mosquito, so it was very safe inside.

If it was an ordinary place, there would be a lot of mutated cockroaches, rats, mosquitoes and other monsters in the room ….

Ye Chen shook his head and looked out of the window. He saw dark clouds covering the sky, thunder rumbling, and the wind whistling between heaven and earth. It was as if even the heavens were mourning for the tragic fate that mankind would face.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go out to hunt zombies!"

Ye Chen's eyes had a trace of sharpness. Hiding with food was just waiting for death. The virus in these zombies' bodies would only grow stronger and stronger. When the time comes, the food would be used up. Going out to face more powerful zombies was tantamount to courting death!

"What?" Hearing that Ye Chen was going to hunt zombies, Ye Zhu was shocked, "How can that be, it's too dangerous."

Ye Chen touched her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I will be fine. Well, it's late, go to sleep early!"

Then, he got up and walked to the room. He took the quilt from the big bed and put it on the sofa, "I will sleep in the living room. I will wake up if there is any movement. You sleep in the room!"

Ye Zhu looked at him in shock, speechless, "Such a big thing happened, you can still sleep?"

Ye Chen smiled and said in his heart, "This is just the beginning …."

….

The next day, early in the morning, the sun shined through the window and fell on Ye Chen's face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the bedroom door. There was a burst of warmth in his heart. He used to hide in a place alone, waiting for the dawn, and then go out to hunt monsters. Day after day, he was like a robot, almost numb.

But now, he was no longer fighting alone ….

He smiled and got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. He put on his rough clothes and held a watermelon knife in his hand. In the pocket of his camouflage pants, he put a can of gasoline in case he was attacked by zombies. He also brought a box of matches in his pocket. After all, it was very irrational to use a lighter to ignite gasoline.

After doing all this, Ye Zhu also woke up. She wore white pajamas and lazily walked out of the room. Stretching her waist, this girl did not have any awareness of the apocalypse. Looking at the neatly dressed Ye Chen, her eyes lit up, "Brother is so handsome!"

Ye Chen nearly choked to death. He helplessly looked at her and said, "Breakfast is in the kitchen. I'm going out. Don't run around."

Ye Zhu giggled and nodded.

Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. Through the anti-theft mirror on the door, he looked outside. The corridor was still very quiet. There wasn't even half a zombie. Feeling relieved, he unlocked the door and walked out.

"Brother!" Ye Zhu suddenly called out softly.

Ye Chen was startled. He turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Ye Zhu stood beside the sofa, clenched her fist and said, "Be careful!"

Ye Chen's heart warmed. He smiled and closed the door.

After Ye Chen left the room, Ye Zhu went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. After that, she did not rest. Instead, she ran to the center of the living room and did push-ups on the floor!

"Brother, Xiao Zhu will not drag you down!"

Ye Zhu's cheeks were dripping with sweat. After doing ten push-ups, her two white and tender arms were trembling.

But she still clenched her teeth and persevered!

…

After walking out of the room, Ye Chen locked the door with a "click" sound. The safe environment was separated from Ye Chen. He put away the smile on his face. His eyes were dignified. The watermelon knife in his hand was always in front of his chest. This way, if he suddenly encountered a zombie, he could quickly chop it out. This kind of knife holding posture, only a veteran like him who had experienced ten years of eschatology could do it. Normal newbies would just hold the knife in their pockets. When it was time to kill a zombie, it would be too late …

In the quiet corridor, there was a dark red carpet. Walking on it was not loud. There was no need to worry about startling zombies. Ye Chen did not go far. Instead, he went to the next room on the left.

He saw the door was ajar. There was a trace of cold wind floating out from behind the door.

Ye Chen held his breath and leaned against the wall. He carefully used his foot to push the door open. The door was like a curtain. It slowly opened. The scene in the room fell into his eyes. Before Ye Chen had time to look, he saw a well-dressed young man wearing a white checkered hat standing at the door.

As the door opened, the young man slowly raised his head. Under the hat was a pale face. There were several abscesses. At the corner of his mouth, there was a trace of blood that had not been wiped clean ….

Zombie!

Ye Chen's heart was shocked. But he did not retreat. Instead, he suddenly swung the watermelon knife in his hand and chopped at the young zombie. If he ran away, it would only attract more zombies.

The young zombie's light green eyes were filled with ruthlessness. He roared and fiercely pounced on Ye Chen like a wild beast. His fingernails were as sharp as knives, and he tried to outflank Ye Chen from both sides.

Ye Chen was very familiar with this kind of attack. If it was a normal person, they would have already panicked. After all, there was only one knife. If he tried to chop off the zombie's head and didn't manage to kill it, then he would die under its claws.

Ye Chen's expression was calm. He suddenly kicked the zombie's crotch. He used a pushing force. Suddenly the zombie's body was kicked. The zombie's forward posture came to an abrupt stop. Almost at the same time, Ye Chen's knife rose to the sky. From bottom to top, he stabbed the zombie's chin.

Bang!

The zombie's mouth overflowed with blood. Probably because its chin suddenly closed and the tongue in its mouth was bitten off.

Ye Chen's heart sighed. Unfortunately, the watermelon knife did not have a sharp point. The tip was flat. Otherwise, the zombie's head would have been pierced.

But he did not have time to think too much. After the first stab failed, he kicked again to increase the distance between them.

Ye Chen didn't stop there. He changed the position of the watermelon knife in his hand so that the knife was facing outwards. He aggressively rushed towards the zombie. When he got close, the zombie also rushed towards him.

Ye Chen's eyes were cold. He kicked out and hit the zombie's left chest. Suddenly, he felt like he kicked a high-speed motorcycle. In terms of strength, this zombie was three times his!

This kick was fast and accurate. Once it hit, it was quickly pulled back, not giving the zombie a chance to grab hold of it. Ye Chen was also shaken by the force of the kick, and the zombie's pouncing momentum was also stopped for a moment.

Good chance!

Ye Chen's eyes burst with a strong light. When he retracted his foot that kicked the zombie, he swept around. Suddenly, under the momentum, his body was pulled in a circle. The watermelon knife in his hand, which was facing outward, also turned around quickly and cut into the zombie's neck.

Puchi!

The knife cut into the zombie's neck. But because it was not sharp, it only cut in half and stopped. Ye Chen did not twist the knife. This would only break the watermelon knife. He took out the watermelon knife and held it in his left hand. He suddenly squatted down and swept his leg. He tripped the zombie's feet. This trip was like kicking two steel bars. The back of his foot hurt. But he did not have time to think. He saw the zombie lose control of its lower body. Its center of gravity was unstable and it fell toward him.

Hanging by a thread!

Ye Chen seemed to have stimulated all the potential in his body. Because of the squatting position, the watermelon knife in his left hand turned around. The knife was aimed at the zombie. This time, Ye Chen used all of his strength. Only a "ka" sound was heard. The knife cut left and right at the previous position. Suddenly, the zombie's head was cut off.

Plop!

The head fell to the ground like a ball. Black blood flowed from the broken neck. There was a fishy smell.

The zombie that lost its head still did not die immediately. It was still crazily clawing around. Ye Chen did not relax after cutting off the zombie's head. He seemed to have expected that the zombie would die but not die. When he cut off the zombie's head, his foot kicked up. The zombie's body fell back. Finally, after a few struggles, it fell to the ground powerlessly.

All of this took a long time to describe. In fact, it all happened in a flash. From meeting the zombie to killing it, it was less than 30 seconds!

Ye Chen did not pay attention to the dead zombie. Instead, he quickly glanced around the room. The room was a bit messy. The floor was full of blood. Fortunately, there were no other zombies in the room. Otherwise, if two of them attacked together, Ye Chen would have a hard time.

One must know that each zombie was equivalent to a hercules. It was equivalent to three times the strength of a normal person. Moreover, their hands and mouth were all deadly weapons. It was not easy to deal with them. If a normal person encountered one, if they did not have the right time and place, they would definitely die.

Hu!

Ye Chen exhaled lightly, turned around and closed the door. He looked at the zombie corpse on the ground and calmly used a watermelon knife to cut open its chest. He saw that its internal organs were still intact and there were no signs of decay. However, the color had become pitch-black. Even the eerie white bones looked like they were painted with a layer of black paint, shiny and black.

Ye Chen found a bag from the side and put it on his hand. He searched the zombie's body. Except for some pitch black internal organs, he did not find any "basic meat". He could not help but be disappointed.

"Ka ka!"

Suddenly, in a corner of the room, there was a low chewing sound.

Ye Chen was shocked. He almost reflexively grabbed the watermelon knife. He turned around and stood up. He looked at the place where the sound came from. It was in a corner behind the bed.

Ye Chen frowned and slowly walked over. He went around the bed and saw that in the corner, there was a little girl in a white dress. She was fiddling with something in her hand. Her body was constantly trembling. That thin and delicate body made people want to take pity on her.

"Little sister." Ye Chen called.

The little girl seemed to be very afraid of strangers. She was still hiding in the corner. Facing the wall, she was fiddling with something. Because of the dress, Ye Chen could not see what she was doing. He could not help but walk over.

"Little sister." Ye Chen called again. He patted her shoulder.

The little girl slowly turned her head. She had a head of beautiful black hair, and under the messy black hair, there was a pair of light green eyes. There was still some blood at the corner of her mouth, and in her hand was half an arm …

Roar!

The little girl ferociously pounced at Ye Chen. Ye Chen was shocked. The knife that was always in front of his chest slashed out without any hesitation. It slashed at the left side of the little girl's neck. Ye Chen was helpless. After all, this was a watermelon knife, not a machete ….

He did not fully rely on the knife. He saw that the knife was stuck in her neck. The girl continued to pounce at him fiercely, as if she could not feel any pain. Ye Chen did not say a word and kicked her in the chest. Immediately, there was the sound of bones breaking. The girl was kicked into the wall.

Ye Chen took a step forward and slashed down with the knife in his hand. Kacha!

The girl's skull shattered. Blood flowed from the center of her forehead like an earthworm. Before she died, she looked at Ye Chen with eyes that were still filled with bloodlust, greed, and hatred!
