Chapter 638: Chapter 626: End of the World Plane 14
Xia Yue and the others nodded. Under their watchful eyes, Yan Mo carefully stepped into the bookstore.
The interior of the bookstore was in a mess, various stationeries, books, and notebooks were scattered all over. Some, having endured several years, were a little rotten and covered in dust.
Yan Mo carefully moved around inside, searching for a map.
Xia Yue and the others kept their eyes peeled at the surroundings outside, wary of other zombies approaching.
"Xiaoyang, are there many towns like this now?" Xia Yue asked Lin Jingyang.
"Most are like this now, some places have towns filled with zombies, anyone who enters doesn’t come out, they turn into zombies. There are towns occupied by plants, or Superpower Beasts, while humans mostly live in protective bases," Lin Jingyang nodded in agreement.
"How terrifying," Xia Yue said.
"So how much area do humans still control compared to before?" Ziluo asked curiously.
"Only a third of what was originally. And because of the arrival of the apocalypse, the birth rate has decreased further; there are very few newborns in these years, even fewer than a hundred in a base"
Add the virus to the mix, the mortality rate for infants is also high.
"If a person is bitten or scratched by a zombie and does not receive timely treatment, they will turn into a zombie." Lin Jingyang added.
"There must be natural disasters too, right?" asked Xia Xi. She felt that such things were inevitable. Even in their world, various natural disasters occur every year; it’s unlikely there wouldn’t be any here.
"Yes, earthquakes, snow disasters, tsunamis in coastal areas, droughts, floods, it’s non-stop.
It will be the rainy season in a short time, and we must hurry back to the base before then. Getting wet in the rain carries a certain risk of being infected and turning into a zombie,
But for the Zombie People or animals, the rainy season is like an Energy Station, which can enhance their Abilities." When Lin Jingyang spoke, he seemed helpless. Many people die around this time every year, and many are left hungry.
Just thinking about it, Xia Yue found it so tragic and pitiful.
After listening to him, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, sounds of fighting and roars echoed from inside the store. Yan Mo had started fighting something.
"Don’t stand at the front door, get out of the way." Xia Xi shouted, pulling them to the side of the entrance, a good five meters away from the front door,
to avoid the possibility of something suddenly rushing out and confronting them upfront, leaving them no time to dodge.
Afraid that Yan Mo might get distracted, they did not dare to yell towards the inside. They were worried that he might lose his focus and get hurt.
After standing outside and listening for about 20 minutes, the noise inside finally stopped.
"Yan Mo?" Xia Yue waited a while, but there was still no sound inside, so she called out.
"Come in, the zombies have been dealt with." Yan Mo, hearing Xia Yue’s voice, quickly responded.
"Let’s go." Xia Yue was the first one to rush in, and she waved at the others as she went.
"Yan Mo, are you okay?" As soon as Xia Yue entered, she quickly found Yan Mo, rushed to his side and asked with concern.
"I’m fine, just that it’s too narrow in here to fight easily, so it took a bit longer." Yan Mo shook his head.
"As long as you’re fine." Xia Yue looked him up and down, didn’t see any wounds, nodded in relief, then turned to look at a corpse lying next to them. It was wearing ragged clothes, its face was not visible, but there was a foul stench.
Seeing Xia Xi and the others come in too, Yan Mo addressed them, "Hurry up and find a map. If it’s not here, we’ll have to search elsewhere."
"Okay." Xia Xi and the others nodded and began searching all corners of the bookstore.
