Dean Jiang’s face was blank as he stared at the weird smile on Chu Huai’s face with anxiety.
Because he knows that every time this guy smiles with this kind of smile, nothing goes right for him.
The old man’s intuition was correct, and Chu Huai’s next plan was indeed not very friendly to him.
Because Chu Huai didn’t plan to just go out with him and Yuan Haolin at all but planned to go together with the whole family.
At this moment, although it looks dangerous outside, it is far less terrifying than what everyone thinks.
The zombies in the early stages of the apocalypse moved slowly. As long as they master the essential that is the headshot, they won’t need to be afraid of being surrounded by a large area of zombies.
Most of the infected people have been quarantined by the government a long time ago, and the government’s military has been able to rush out of the cordon for a short time.
The rest are only those zombies that were hidden infected people. There are not many zombies, and it is the middle of the night at the moment, most of them are trapped at home.
This situation is the best time to go out to collect supplies and exercise courage to face the apocalypse.
He remembers that the people he met after arriving at the base in his previous life not only lamented but also regretted being too cowardly as they missed the “Golden Three Days” which was the best time for the collection of materials in the early apocalypse.
As a result, the number and speed of zombies increased after a few days, and the risk factor for going out increased sharply, so they had to hide at home and wait for rescue.
Chu Huai also knows how zombies will gradually become stronger.
Although Dean Jiang and Tan Xiaojie, the two young and old, are reluctant to go out and face danger, the apocalyptic days will only become more and more cruel. Blind protection is not a good thing, and they must adapt as soon as possible.
As for Yu Ke, he is not worried, Yu Ke’s ability and courage are enough to cope with the current environment.
This was Chu Huai’s plan and thought. He understood the situation outside, but Yuan Haolin didn’t know how many zombies there were.
Even if his analysis is very clear and reasonable, the unknown is terrifying. Even Yuan Haolin, who has a strong psychological quality, hesitated a bit, and ordinary people like Dean Jiang and Tan Xiaojie were even more fearful in their hearts.
Dean Jiang cried on the spot after hearing this.
Now there are all irrational cannibalist monsters outside, so letting him go out with such old bones and bad legs would only mean death, this stinky boy!
Yuan Haolin was also very hesitant to let his lover go outside, Xiaojie was originally timid and he lacked the strength to kill zombies if he were to go out.
“We don’t know when the government will be able to clean up the zombies. The situation will only become more and more serious. Even if the medical field develops antidotes, there are countless people infected with the virus in the world. It would not take a short time to restore the previous civilized society. If we can get stronger then we should, the cruel reality does not discriminate between young and old. We must adapt as soon as possible.”
Chu Huai calmly analyzed reality.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Such words are cruel, but they are facts of their current living environment. The competition in the apocalyptic days is not something ordinary people can imagine. No matter how thoughtful the protection of the people around you is, it is not as important as being strong yourself.

The old man was a little desperate as he cried, “Is there any rat poison in the house, woo…” He didn’t want to live anymore!
“There is no rat poison. There is a knife here. Slicing your neck is faster.”
Chu Huai directly handed the fruit knife in the table without sympathy, simply without any humanity.
Dean Jiang jumped up with anger, and instantly thumped his chest with vigor.
This unscrupulous brat!
“Well, since everyone has no opinion, let’s change our clothes and get ready to go.”
Chu Huai curled his lips, ignoring the frustrated old man, and made a final decision.
Yu Ke smiled and followed him with the tacit understanding to return to the house to move out the equipment that had been prepared long ago and distribute it to everyone.
There are not many things, just a few sportswear with charms and a few Peach Wood Swords.
Dean Jiang, who hasn’t been relieved from the sadness of his old bones, is about to go out to beat zombies. Seeing his fate in front of him, he covered his chest, he felt like he was almost out of breath.
No matter what clothes they use, they must wrap themselves tightly to prevent infection from being scratched by the zombies, but what are the toy-like Peach Wood Swords for? Is it possible for them to use this to chop the zombies?!
Yu Ke knew that people nowadays don’t believe in Taoism and think that it is a feudal superstition. Most Taoist monks are indeed deceptive so he explained it to them patiently.
“Grandpa Jiang, don’t worry, these clothes and the Peach Wood Sword are engraved with a spell array, which has a good defense and attack effect. Don’t look at this Peach Wood Sword as being toy-like. It can cut iron like mud.”
This was not nonsense. Since the world regained its aura, and the wooden sword’s spell formation has absorbed the aura, even the fragile twigs can instantly turn into a weapon that is tougher than steel.
Dean Jiang can barely believe it, this mysterious thing is more unbelievable than a zombie.
Yuan Haolin knew that they had some peculiar abilities, and despite anything else, he picked up a wooden sword and chopped it down at the corner of the marble coffee table in front of him, letting the results prove it.
Not surprisingly, a corner of the hard marble table was cut off under the influence of the Peach Wood Sword.
“Impressive.”
Yuan Haolin was beaming, and Tan Xiaojie followed his movements with wide eyes in awe.
Dean Jiang opened his mouth wide and was stunned silly for a full minute.
Then the old man hugged the clothes and the Peach Wood Sword at a very high speed, and he admired Yu Ke as he flattered him and smiled.
“Xiao-Ke, are there any other treasures besides the clothes and the wooden sword? Didn’t you draw a lot of charms before? Give grandpa two, okay? Grandpa will turn around and ask Chu Huai to marry you…”
The flattering old man betrayed the other without hesitation.
“Really?”
Yu Ke’s eyes lit up instantly and he was about to move.
“Everyone change clothes and get ready to go out.”
Chu Huai rubbed his temples, quickly interrupting the conversation between the two irreplaceable people in his life- he pulled the young boy with shining eyes into his arms, took his clothes, and quickly went back to the room, locked the door, and changed his clothes.
Dean Jiang bit his fingers behind them as he gritted his teeth.
Yu Ke is also a bit regretful, but he will still persevere with the goal of getting married.
But now is not the time to talk about this issue, they have to seize the prime time to go out and collect supplies.
As long as the wish of getting married stays with Chu Huai-jun, he will not worry about not having a chance to realize it. He will wait for Chu Huai-jun to agree, just like he had waited for Chu Huai-jun to come back.
The boy thought of this, turned his head, threw his worries at the back of his head and actively changed his clothes, then stared at Chu Huai fiercely, urging him to change as well.
It seems that as long as it was Chu Huai in front of him, nothing was annoying for him.
Seeing the young man’s expression and gaze, Chu Huai couldn’t control the possessiveness in his heart.
Yu Ke’s influence on him was beyond his imagination.
But he’ll have to put down these thoughts for the time being.
After Dean Jiang and the others changed their clothes armed with Taoist runes meant for defense, Chu Huai asked everyone to wear helmets and wrap their whole bodies tightly before going out.
If they want to safely retreat under the siege of zombies, in addition to force, ensuring that they are not infected is the second criterion for survival in the apocalyptic days.
After the first round of zombie mutation attacks, the situation in their community has stabilized.
There are not many people in their community, and the number of mutated zombies is naturally limited. Under the influence of the modern Internet or TV, everyone is no stranger to zombies.
What’s more, the government’s ‘National Sports’ training in the past few months was not a joke, and everyone still had some benefits from it.
After the initial chaos, the people all reacted and started to resist. Except for the timid and unresponsive sacrifices, the rest of the people found a place to hide, stabilizing their panic.
It was dark in the middle of the night, and now only the roar of zombies and door knockings could be heard outside, the banging sound was very frightening and the atmosphere was terrifying.
Dean Jiang’s old bones began to tremble again, and his mouth whispered to Buddha, begging for blessings.
Tan Xiaojie was also afraid while being nervously guarded next to Yuan Haolin, but he willed himself not to cry.
Fortunately, there are really few people in their community, and there are not many residents in their building, and no zombies are wandering in the corridor at their doors.
Chu Huai took the lead, and after seeing the situation clearly, he quietly opened the door and signaled everyone to follow.
It seemed that someone heard the movement at their door, and there were also small movements and scared gasps on the doors of Li Hui at the opposite door, and the two neighbors next to them.
The lack of a zombie’s roar means that the people on their floor are very lucky, and there are no hidden infected persons in the house.
“Mr. Chu, you, do you want to go out? No, don’t go, the gate is full of monsters…”
Using the peephole of her door- once he saw that they weren’t infected. Li Hui, who was by the door, boldly opened a crack in the door, pale, and reminded them to stop.
The direction of her house is facing the gate of the community, which makes it easy to see the situation outside.
There is a large bar near their community. Many young people go to play at night. At this moment, the zombies at the gate of the community are probably coming out of it. Going out without knowing the situation is simply trying to face death.
Li Hui kindly reminded them this, after all, even if one won’t look at the friendship between them as neighbors, it is also because Chu Huai helped her hide some supplies.
Her man, Yang Tianlong, was also nearby, and his face was paler than hers at the moment, he was terrified of the current situation.
Seeing that she even dared to open the door, he was furious and frightened. Cursing her out as a useless mother while hurriedly trying to close the door, he was afraid that zombies would rush to his house a second later.
Li Hui couldn’t dodge in time so her finger was severely pressed, and the door was stuck.
Yang Tianlong not only didn’t care but seeing the door was stuck and not closed, he was so angry that he slapped Li Hui on the spot, knocking her head on the wall and immediately causing bleeding.
The loud slap was very harsh in the quiet corridor, and then the cry of the child was heard in the opposite room.
Zombies are very sensitive to sounds and the smell of blood.
“Roar…” Suddenly the zombies outside their building noticed the situation and gathered here one after another roaring.
A large number of zombies were crowded with excitement and they feared that they would be hitting the door of the unit. The glass on the door was not strong, and cracks were appearing after just a few seconds.
Chu Huai secretly sighed as he knew that it was not good.
Dean Jiang, who was originally frightened and annoyed next to him, shuddered and jumped up when he saw this situation.
He wanted to go back, but the door on their side had been closed, and now it was too late to open because he didn’t have the key.
Seeing that the zombies were about to break in, the old man’s potential exploded, he rushed to the door and opened the door of Li Hui’s house so that everyone could hurry in to escape.
After the door was closed to block the zombies who had rushed into the corridor of the unit, Dean Jiang turned his head and stared at Li Hui’s man bitterly.
Then he picked up the shoes on the shoe rack next to him and patted them while gritting his teeth.
“You asshole, this old man has already tolerated you for a long time!”
Oooh Dean Jiang! Show him who’s boss!
