Feng Yimo frowned, and the beast immediately jumped up from the ground.

It didn't dare to delay and trotted away in the opposite direction to Feng Yimo, looking for someone.

It ran forward while turning back frequently. It was in such a surprised and complicated mood that it accidentally fell on a tall building in front of it. The whole building shook because of this. Its head was already dizzy from excessive blood loss. He was also hit more and more dizzy.

In pain, it lay on the ground and held its head with its front paws, letting out a "ouch".

Feng Yimo saw it, and when he looked again, his eyes were full of disgust.

So stupid.

He is obviously a corpse king, but he is so stupid.

Forget about being stupid, there are still too many words to talk about...

Not wanting to be infected, Feng Yimo silently took a step aside. He looked at the city behind him. There was no moonlight and the coldness of this city was desolate, dilapidated and gloomy, which made people extremely uncomfortable. .

Feng Yi didn't understand. If those two children weren't hidden by the big stupid dog behind him, where would they be?

Even if they woke up and left on their own, they probably wouldn't have gone too far, but he had already searched almost all of the city.

Feng Yimo lowered his head and looked at the long knife in his hand. There was cold murderous intent deep in his eyes. No matter who it was and why he did it, he had better pray that he would not let him find him.

Feng Yimo left and wandered in the steel and concrete jungle again.

The beast, which had run some distance away with its dizzy head, was shaking its head when it suddenly heard a slight clicking sound and it jumped up in fright.

Fu Mao looked around and didn't see Feng Yimo, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If he let it touch Feng Yimo again, he wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't following him even if it had ten mouths.

"Ouch..." It was extremely aggrieved.

In the woods, Ji Yanqing couldn't sleep well all night. The roar of the Corpse King would come from the city from time to time, reminding them of his existence all the time.

At four o'clock, when the sky was slightly bright, Ji Yanqing called everyone up.

After a brief tidying up, the group of people quickly headed deeper into the forest.

The woods under the morning light are completely different from those during the day. Although the tree trunks are still twisted and hideous, the air in the woods is cold and refreshing with light vapor, which is very comfortable.

Everyone's mouths were dry and peeling after being dehydrated for a long time. No one spoke along the way, and the only sound was breathing in the air.

After walking forward for about forty minutes, they saw a cement road in the woods.

The cement road was not built in a regular way. It was not the kind of asphalt road in the city. It looked more like someone had poured it privately. The road surface was very rough and there were no guardrails at the edges.

"The reservoir should be right in front, not far away." Zhang Guxian asserted after seeing the road, "I remember that the section near the reservoir had a cement road built. The Water Conservancy Bureau originally planned to build it all the way to the city, but the cost was too high. I gave up halfway through the practice."

Hearing this, the rest of the people were refreshed.

Zhang Guxian took the lead, and a group of people moved quickly along the road.

The trees around the road are also growing wildly, and many tree roots have grown into the road, directly arching the cement floor, exposing the thick roots below.

Even so, concrete ground is far easier to walk on than the jungle.

In less than an hour, they climbed the remaining half of the mountain.

There is still a mountain behind the mountain, but when you look from a high place, you can already see some man-made buildings.

Seeing those buildings, everyone was so excited that they wanted to rush over and jump into the water to drink their fill. The same was true for Ji Yanqing.

"Many people in this reservoir know that after the virus breaks out, people may flee here. We'd better be cautious, there might be zombies," Zhang Guxian reminded.

Hearing this, the people became more cautious but did not slow down. Knowing that there was water ahead, their already dry and itchy throats became even more dry and painful.

After walking for another ten minutes, vehicles did appear on the road ahead. The two private cars in front collided with each other, causing the three or four private cars behind to be blocked.

There was a small truck some distance behind the private car, and there were some luggage in the back compartment of the small truck that had not been taken away.

All the car doors were open, but the people inside did not escape. More than a dozen figures wandered aimlessly in the nearby woods.

"Those two trucks should have been left behind by people from other survival teams..." Hiding in the woods, Zhang Guxian said in a low voice.

Ji Yan heard the words lightly, glanced at the small truck and then looked at Zhang Guxian. Zhang Guxian seemed to have known that there were cars and zombies here for a long time, but Zhang Guxian only said that he had been here before the virus outbreak.

Xia Chenshu looked at Ji Yanqing and asked what to do.

"Go around." Ji Yanqing's voice was very soft, which made his usually deliberately lowered voice soft, sweet, and not cold at all.

Everyone looked away and focused more on the zombies, not looking at Ji Yanqing who was making themselves angry.

There were a lot of zombies in the woods, but most of them were concentrated near the car, which made it easier for Ji Yanqing and the others to get around easily.

After bypassing that place, the few people did not return to the road. Vehicles and zombies could be seen from time to time along the way. Just as Zhang Guxian said, many people did flee here for refuge.

Ten minutes later, several people saw the embankment and the lake behind the embankment at the end of the woods.

The reservoir was converted from a lake. There is a dike on only one side. The dike is several hundred meters away from the lake. Judging from the location and height of the dike, the reservoir should have been very large. The deepest part may be close to 20 to 30 meters.

There was only water left in the reservoir at the bottom of the lake. If they had arrived a month later, the lake might have dried up.

"Do you want to go there?" Seeing the water, Lan Zi's Adam's apple slid uncontrollably.

"In the past, I could just fill the bottle with water." Ji Yanqing tried his best to make his voice sound cold and low.

After the lake dries up, there is a wide open space around it. The field of vision is too wide and it is easy to be discovered by zombies.

Several other people quickly took out the kettles, bottles and pots they had brought.

The whole world is changing, and no one knows whether there will be any problems with the water in the lake, but they don't have the conditions to be particular now, and they can't run around with water purification equipment, so they can only use the simplest method of boiling to ensure safety.

After putting away the fainted bald head, Lan Zi took his backpack and loaded everyone's water bottles, took a deep breath, and headed towards the lake under Ji Yan's gentle gaze.

Xia Chenshu took a gun and followed him on guard, just in case.

Everyone else went around to find firewood to make a fire.

Ji An and Ji Le got out of their backpacks and ran to help.

They are too small to pick up large branches, but they can pick up hay and leaves.

After Lan Zi rushed to the lake as fast as possible, he chose a relatively low place to put down his backpack, and quickly filled the bottle with water in his backpack.

As she moved, she nervously turned her head and looked around cautiously.

The reservoir is very large, and the feeling is more obvious when looking from the middle to the outside. The feeling that there is no cover around it is even more unsettling.

After filling all the bottles in one go, Lan Zi picked up the backpack and ran back quickly.

When she returned to the forest, her forehead was covered with sweat.

Several other people on the side took the backpack and quickly poured water into the pot that was already burning red. After a "sting" sound, the world became quiet.

Everyone gathered around the little milk pot, staring straight at it, waiting for the water to boil.

The pot is not big, so it is easy to carry. It cooks things quickly and the water boils in a short time.

A few people did not put the first pot of water into bottles, and drank it directly after letting it cool down a little.

For seven adults and two children, a small pot of water was certainly not enough to drink. After sharing the first pot, everyone quickly started cooking the second pot.

"Drink more." During the third pot, Ji Yan gently fed Ji Le to drink and warned him.

The most important thing they lack now is water. Although they can't easily make up for the lack of water in their bodies no matter how much they drink at one time, at least they are full.

They have no food.

After feeding Ji Le until he burped, Ji Yan gently handed the pot to Ji An's mouth. Ji An was already thirsty, so he drank heavily without caring that the pot was still burning his mouth.

After drinking half of it in one breath, Ji An stopped and pushed the pot to Ji Yanqing's mouth, "Drink."

Ji Yanqing suddenly thought of the date last night.

"Just heat up another pot later." Ji Yan said softly.

Ji An looked at Xia Chenshu and others next to him. He was sure that they would boil water again, so he held the pot in both hands and continued to drink.

He quickly drank all the remaining water.

Ji Yanqing boiled a fourth pot of water. After letting it cool down, he drank most of the pot alone.

When the pot was put down, Ji Yanqing's stomach was so swollen that it hurt.

On the side, people whose long-stressed nerves had been soothed and whose thirsty bodies had been replenished were sitting or lying on the ground, half-squinting their eyes comfortably, and their hearts were full of contentment.

At that moment, they all forgot about the cruelty of this apocalypse.

After a short rest, Ji Yanqing boiled a pot of water and used the water to wash Ji An and Ji Le's faces.

The two little guys are very well-behaved and do whatever they are told without making any noise.

After washing his face, Ji Yanqing looked at the water left and asked them to take off their clothes and help them wipe their bodies.

Ji An and Ji Le had obviously not been taken care of for a long time. Their faces were so discolored that they could barely see their eyes and noses. After taking off their clothes, their bodies were so thin and shriveled that their ribs were clearly visible, which made people feel sad.

What makes people's throats even more bitter is that their bodies are covered with bruises and bruises.

Ji An could count the number of large and small bruises on his body with both hands. He would tremble every time Ji Yanqing's hand holding the towel wiped a spot.

He didn't say anything in pain, but looked at Ji Yanqing uneasily with red eyes, trying hard to observe his words and expressions, for fear of seeing a little bit of displeasure on Ji Yanqing's face.

Ji Yanqing was the only person who was nice to him.

Ji Le also had a lot of bruises on his body. The most frightening thing was the purple bruise on the outside of his left thigh. Such large bruises looked like his leg had been kicked off.

Ji Le is very thin, even thinner than Ji An, so thin that one of his legs is not as thick as Ji Yanqing's arm.

Ji Yan couldn't help but move lightly for fear of hurting such a child. Who could beat him so cruelly? Still beaten like this.

"Does it hurt?" Ji Yan stopped wiping and gently touched the bruise.

Feeling Ji Yanqing's movements and the coldness on Ji Yanqing's fingers, Ji Le's thin body instinctively shrank.

He looked at Ji Yanqing carefully and shook his head when he saw that Ji Yanqing was not angry.

"Really?"

Ji Le shook his head, then shook his head again.

"Why did he hit you?" Ji Yan pressed lightly to resist his anger.

Ji Le pretended to be fine, but his eyes turned red uncontrollably. He tried hard to hold back the tears but they still fell. He wiped away the tears and told Ji Yanqing, "...I didn't behave."
