Chapter One Begins

  "Damn it to hell!"

  The cold wind woke Wu Xiaotian up, he pulled open the quilt, and the biting chill made him shrink his neck again. After putting on his clothes, he still couldn't tell whether this was reality or an untraceable dream, because both dreams and reality were filled with zombies of various shapes. The difference is that in reality, he hasn't been eaten yet.

  Pick up the clothes scattered on the bed and put them on. When the warmth spreads through the body again, a helpless curse.

  Arriving at the living room, standing by the window, looking at the unconscious wandering zombies downstairs, counting how many days the remaining food can be eaten. Another gust of cold wind came, and Wu Xiaotian left the window. It is said that the cold wind in the north is like a knife, straight and straightforward. The cold wind in the south is gentle and unknown where it comes from, but now it has changed, and the cold wind in the south is also so direct.

  Back in the bedroom, I opened up my computer and gazed at the time displayed in the bottom right corner. My thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a month ago.

  At that time, it was the Mayan prophecy's doomsday, December 21st, 2012. But nothing happened on that day, except for the neighbor's dog dying. A large number of doomsday forums and websites were deserted, no longer bustling with activity. However, the next day, everything changed, a group of uninvited guests arrived on Earth. The meteor shower didn't hit land, but instead fell into the ocean. The meteor shower brought not only tsunamis and earthquakes, but also unknown viruses. Major media outlets competed to report on it, doomsday forums and websites became active again, governments from various countries came out to debunk the rumors. However, they were unable to stop the panic, prices skyrocketed. Rice, salt, water, and other essentials were frantically bought up by people. Some unscrupulous individuals also emerged, committing crimes such as robbery, rape, and looting, revealing the ugly side of human nature. Various institutions came out, some to suppress, others to comfort, and some to transfer.

  But the panic lasted for several days before subsiding. The criminals were also thrown into a detention center.

  January 7, 2013, Monday, rain. When the working class and students who had just passed the weekend were in the morning rush hour, an unknown virus broke out. Zombies appeared. Countless people, regardless of their identity as men, women, children, beggars, citizens, or thugs, were infected with zombies, and some were infected by zombies. The method of zombie infection was simple: being caught, bitten, or eaten. The unguarded crowd was either infected or eaten.

  Wu Xiaotian had just woken up and thought it was still early, preparing to sleep in when he was startled by a sudden blood-curdling scream. He jumped out of bed, opened the window and cursed, "TMD, watching horror movies at such an early hour, are you trying to die?!" But instead of others echoing his sentiments, a group of people turned their heads and stared at him with blood-red eyes.

  "What's wrong with you, haven't seen a naked man before?"

  Ignore those people, look at the group of people in the middle with a car, several people are leaning on the front of the car, and the surrounding people are desperately stretching out their hands as if they want to grab something. Looking closely at the few people in the middle, it seems like they are eating something while leaning over, after taking a closer look, a man is lying on his back on the hood of the car, with his head tilted to one side, and his entire abdominal cavity ripped open, several people who were leaning over are holding a heart, a kidney, and eating them, two people from the surrounding area are fighting for an intestine.

  Wu Xiaotian's legs went soft, and he knelt down on the ground, his stomach churning with nausea. He rushed to the bathroom, vomiting up everything, including tears and snot, until he had emptied out his entire stomach. Only then did he slowly get up, leaning against the wall for support, and use toilet paper to wipe away his nose and eyes. In his mind, he thought, what's wrong with these people? Have they gone crazy? No, they're just like zombies in movies, eating humans, only found in zombie movies and ancient times.

  Slowly supporting the wall to come to the window side, that group of cannibals had dispersed, and only the man's limbs were left on the car. The people next to him were still wandering around, unconscious.

  Wu Xiaotian was shouting in his heart "Zombie, they are zombies." Trembling, he came to the bedside table, picked up the phone and dialed his parents. The phone was always busy, anxious to smash the mobile phone. After taking a long breath, he made another call. A familiar yet tense voice came from the other end of the line.

  "Xiao Tian, are you okay? Xiao Tian." "I'm fine, mom. Where's dad? Is he okay?"

  "Wu's mother said, 'Don't worry, don't worry. Your father and I were taken to an airport by your older cousin early this morning. He said we're going to some place called Yanjing. Xiaotian, you should come too. The whole family is here except for you.'"

  "Wu Xiaotian sighed and said, 'Mom, I might be coming to find you guys. Our building downstairs is full of flesh-eating zombies!'"

  "What's going on? Your older brother is here, I'll give you the phone and you talk to him." "Uh-huh, okay."

  Then the phone came "Hello, Little Tian, listen carefully, now you are at home, don't go anywhere, wait for rescue. San Ba, and San Aunt and I will go to Yanjing, you can rest assured that I will take care of it. And you..."

  A busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Wu Xiaotian was so angry that he directly smashed his mobile phone to the ground. Before long, the landline rang. He rushed to the living room to answer the phone.

  "Listen, Xiaotian, the plane is taking off now, and everything is in chaos. TV, phone, and internet may all lose signal. Go find a radio, tune to FM87.8 (don't take it seriously). Time's running out, gotta board the plane. Remember my words, don't forget." The phone call ended with a busy tone.

  Wu Xiaotian's elder cousin, Wu Xiaolong, is a soldier. Specifically what he does, even his parents don't know. But he is also the most promising, mysterious and reliable one in the second generation of the Wu family. His parents let him take care of Wu Xiaotian with peace of mind.

  "Dad, Mom, I've gone to Yanjing. My sister was already in Yanjing. As the capital of Huaxia, it has the strongest military, the strongest defense and measures, and is the center of power. Nothing should happen." Wu Xiaotian said to himself.

  From the stairs to the rooftop, the office building was engulfed in flames. Car alarms blared, people screamed before they died, and gunshots echoed from time to time. It was a scene of doomsday, desolate everywhere. I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

  Thoughts possessed

  Connected to the internet, opening various portal websites, these portal websites are no longer as they were before, diverse and colorful. Some only have a huge title "Apocalypse Crisis". Then one opens a video, the video shows a tired but majestic soldier, with several bloodstains on his face. The soldier doesn't waste words, after a standard military salute, he begins his speech: "Fellow citizens, it is now Yanjing time, January 17th, 2013, 17 days have passed since the outbreak of the D virus. Out of the world's 7 billion people, from Antarctica to the Arctic, 90% have been infected with the D virus. Among them, our Huaxia is one of the most severely affected areas."

  The country's emergency plan for sudden public events had just been activated when the virus destroyed most of the cities' administrative systems. Due to the sudden onset of the virus, it was difficult to prevent. Those bitten or scratched would become infected and attack others within 1 hour.

  This virus was named by scientists around the world as Destroytheorderofthedevil, Chinese name is, Huǐ miè zhì xù de è mó. Abbreviated as D virus.

  Humans infected with the D virus will attack others within 1 hour. Characteristics include: no pain sensation, no thinking ability, stiff movements, extremely sensitive sense of smell, carnivorous, normal hearing, exposed and robust skeletal structure with high destructive power. Visual sensitivity is particularly high for bright colors, but low for cool color recognition. They lack human self-protection consciousness, so their strength is twice that of a normal human, ordinary speed is 0.3 times that of a normal human, extreme speed is slightly faster than a normal human's jogging speed, and explosive power is average.

  The enemy is powerful, but please rest assured, the Huaxia military has already gathered nearly 15% of its troops, and we will provide assistance as soon as possible. Please stay at home and wait for further instructions, and also tune into FM87.8 to receive the latest information, so that each city's base can implement aid. The following bases have been contacted: BJ, SY, SH, SZ, ZJ, DG, ZA, TY, CD...... Because humans infected with the D virus have lost their human characteristics, the government has given survivors the right to kill the infected. The best way to kill them is to destroy their central nervous system and blow up their heads...

  Wu Xiaotian has already watched this video many times and no longer has the information he needs, so he can only go to browse his comments.

  "This comment contains excessive remarks and has been deleted."

  "Someone save me, I am at XX location..."

  "Is there anyone who can save me? I'll give him anything he wants, I'm at XX location."

  "Help, there are 3 zombies outside my house. Come and rescue me quickly."

  "Someone save me, hurry up and come!"

  "Brother, come and save me."

  Just as he was about to see what other information there was, the internet cut off, and Wu Xiaotian stomped his feet in anger. He slowly calmed down. Seeing his parents alive. Wu Xiaotian set his first goal for the arrival of doomsday.

  As long as you're alive, there's hope. But seeing those zombies wandering around downstairs is terrifying, afraid of being dragged by the zombies like in a dream and eating their own intestines. Now Wu Xiaotian lives in his old house because the new house is far from the city center, so he has always lived in the old house, which is a village in the city, all are rented out. If the tenants downstairs all become zombies, there will be at least more than 10.

  To survive, you need food. Wu Xiaotian immediately left the computer and personally checked his remaining supplies. After a busy half-day, he had checked all the supplies in his home, which were quite abundant due to his laziness. There was half a bag of rice (about 30 pounds), two boxes of instant noodles, two dozen cans of Coke, 11 pounds of cured meat, 101 eggs, three pounds of noodles, two packs of sausage, 11 cans of fish, half a chicken, ten heads of cabbage, a bucket of water, and three cigarettes (a total of 30 packs). The scallions and leeks were left untouched. Wu Xiaotian's father wanted to eat green food, so they had set up a small vegetable garden on the rooftop. Two water towers were full of tap water, which was pumped up using a water pump due to the low water pressure in the urban village. After calculating, Wu Xiaotian thought he could hold out for two or three months.

  The food is no problem, it's safe, and should be guaranteed. Wu Xiaotian's old house was renovated in 05, with a total of five floors. The first to fourth floors are rented out, the fifth floor is where he lives himself. One side faces the main road of the city, the other side faces the village in the city. From the second floor onwards, there are anti-theft cages, and each floor has two concrete-poured rain shelters, so you don't have to worry about zombies climbing up. The staircase between the fourth and fifth floors is equipped with an anti-theft door. Wu Xiaotian let out a long sigh of relief, no need to worry about his own safety issues.

  Electricity shouldn't be a concern, at least it can last for several months. Wu Xiaotian is still very confident in the power facilities. The network has been cut off, and I was thinking of going online to see if there's any useful information.

  Little pig is new here, everyone take care of him
