Chapter 220: part 1: Trouble replaceing its way

Chen Jinghong looked at the open supermarket 30 meters away and licked his dry lips.

He looked around, and everywhere he looked, he saw corpses. Occasionally, there would be zombies stumbling around.

Further away was a seven-story home. There was a hole in the window of the top apartment. A rope hung from there, and a person was tied. He swung in the wind and smashed into the air-conditioning on the side, giving out a clanging sound.

Sometimes zombies below would raise their heads to search for the source of the sound. They sniffed and didn’t want to give up on any chance of replaceing food.

There were sounds from the supermarket which meant that there were dangers inside. Although this was just a tiny county beside Ying City, tens of thousands of people still lived there. They also had a decent-sized county hospital.

Thinking about that, Chen Jinghong felt frustrated. If he weren’t here to teach the medical personnel in the hospital, he wouldn’t have ended up trapped here.

Chen Jinghong was very pessimistic about his family in Ying City. Moreover, the problems in front of him were big enough. If he couldn’t replace any more food and drinks, using his professional judgment, he couldn’t survive for more than three days.

His body was already frail now.

Chen Jinghong was prepared to enter. He had to go in. His stamina would be used up the next day, and then he wouldn’t have any hope of replaceing more food.

He bent, and then the youngest general surgery doctor in Ying City charged into the supermarket.

The room was very dark, and there was a smelly scent that survivors were familiar with. It was that of decomposing bodies.

Chen Jinghong looked around and didn’t notice anything dangerous. The sound from inside was gone. He couldn’t care as a few boxes of biscuits were two meters from him. Even if they were covered in dust, he still recognized them.

He pounced over as this was his life.

“Hehe, another got hooked.”

A hand grabbed the back of his head and pulled him away from the rack. At this moment, his fingernails were just a few centimeters from the few boxes.

He was dragged to the ground. Because of his hunger, he even felt dizzy. When things stopped spinning in his eyes, he felt a hand searching around his body.

“Damn, not even one crystal?”

Only then did Chen Jinghong see that the guy that hit him was a 1.9-meter-tall guy with a face covered in beard. He gave off a horrible smell.

Seeing that Chen Jinghong was looking at him, he just slapped him. The crisp sound spread in the supermarket.

“Poor fellow, not even one crystal. How did you even survive until now?”

Chen Jinghong felt his hand swelling, and his vision on one side was affected.

Chen Jinghong hugged his head and bent his body. He didn’t have anything. It wasn’t that he didn’t have any crystals, but he traded with a motorcade. Those people were good. He helped them bandage their wounds and even gave them a bottle of water.

Now that he had nothing worth stealing, he would get beaten up when he faced such a situation.

But he waited for two seconds and didn’t get a firm fist. He saw a stick smashing down through the gaps in his arms and head.

He knocked into the big fellow, and after the stick hit the ground, he was knocked aside too. Chen Jinghong suppressed the pain and used one hand to support himself. The other hand slashed the guy’s neck.

Although it was just a few simple motions, it was enough to make him pant. He rested on the wall of the supermarket to recover some stamina. He looked at the guy holding his neck but couldn’t stop the blood from spurting out.

He wasn’t a killer but a doctor, and a very good one. If he was willing, killing wasn’t hard—for example, this guy. The surgical knife in his hands needed to leave a centimeter big cut on his neck.

That was the artery.

“Seems like you don’t need my help.”

A sudden voice shocked Chen Hongjing, and he stood up in panic. He held the small knife and looked at the young guy who had suddenly appeared at the corner of the supermarket.

“Doctor, right?” This young man looked at the blood on the scalpel and at the guy about to turn into a zombie, “You should be a decently skilled doctor too.”

“Let’s go.” The young man turned around. He was carrying a white blade on his back.

Looking at the guy that walked out, he hesitated, “Go, go where?”

“A place that can feed doctors. Oh, right, bring those biscuits. Maybe in the future, it can be traded for a wife.”

Four people sat in a room covered in steel rods; their faces were confused.

“Third Brother is what you say, correct? There is someone so dumb to collect scrap metal?” A thin guy scratched his face and had doubts about the news.

“Of course. Do you know Black Cloak Motorcade? The news came from them; many people trying to survive also know about it. They said that a group from Cloud Peak is collecting abandoned cars. I heard someone used an abandoned car to trade for a fist-sized bun!”

“Why do I feel like it can’t be trusted?”

Another person asked. There was rarely such good news in peacetime, much less apocalypse.

“Whether or not it is real, we will know if we look. Anyways abandoned cars are everywhere. Find one that can be driven, and let’s see if we can sell it. Even if it is fake, we don’t lose anything.”

“Okay, that is settled. Let’s go replace a car.”

“Yuan, Brother Yuan, is what you say true?”

A middle-aged man looked at Yuan Shang suspiciously and asked. Behind him were dozens of thin guys.

“Old Zhang, we know each other in the past, and you also traded food with me, so our relationship has grown stronger. Do I need to lie to you about such things?”

Yuan Shang sat in the car and said to the middle-aged man, “Cloud Peak needs people. It is best if they have skills; those without need strength. I don’t know if those who use strength can eat to their fill, but at least they won’t die from hunger. It was better than you now, right? A few days passed, and you lost five people. You can still trade crystals for food with me, but if your people reduce, how can you kill zombies? I just gave you a way out so you can consider it.”

The middle-aged man nodded, “Okay, we will listen to you. We will head to Cloud Peak to try our luck.”

“Remember to say that I recommended you to head over.”

Seeing this group move towards Cloud Peak, Yuan Shang’s man couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what is Cloud Peak doing? People can’t even support themselves, so why do they need people? They also need so many. Why do I think that this is suspicious.”

Yuan Shang laughed, “That is why I said you can only be my driver and can’t amount to much else.”

Seeing his man smile, Yuan Shang said solemnly, “Let me tell you that Ye Zhongming has vast ambitions. Compared to him, we are a level worse, so we are expected not to understand what he is doing. We need to do things for him and get some benefits. As for the future, let’s take a look and see what they want to do.
