After all, no mutated monsters have appeared in the sky so far. To date, these mutated monsters have only survived on land and in water.
None of them have dared to challenge the sky yet.
However... if such mutated monsters truly existed, that would be a serious problem.
It's easy to imagine: zombies are extremely dangerous at night, and during the day, there are flying mutated monsters. This would effectively blockade humans' movements both day and night. For those without much combat ability, there would likely be no other option but to lie at home and wait for death.
From the moment I woke up until now, I've faced life-or-death situations more than once or twice, and each time I've managed to turn danger into safety. This has given me a strange thought.
Am I a genius?
Of course... that's impossible.
Every time I encounter a zombie, no matter how excited I get, I can't become passionate. This doesn't quite align with a normal person's logic, and it's also different from my past self.
I wonder if this body is giving me some kind of advantage?
For example... something like adrenaline, suppressing my panic and allowing me to deal with danger more rationally?
But I can't know for sure right now. This is just a mere inference. However, when I get the chance, I will definitely examine my current body. This body... is definitely not normal.
Subconsciously, I touched the two mounds in front of me, a rare pair of sharp weapons. I grumbled hatefully...
"Definitely not normal!!"
Time... flowed by like this. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. The dark clouds in the sky showed no signs of dispersing. Instead, bursts of thunder echoed across the dark sky. Accompanied by the thunder, occasional strange roars could be heard from a distance.
Drowsily sitting by the bedside, I idly fiddled with a handgun in my hand, trying to disassemble it, reassemble it, disassemble it again, and reassemble it again.
After repeating this for most of the day, I got a little tired of playing. I changed into something comfortable for my period and lay down on the bed, drowsily...
falling asleep.
When the sunlight spilled onto my face, bringing a warm sensation, I didn't get up. I just pulled the covers over my head. But when the sound of a helicopter came from outside the window! I jolted awake!!
Chapter 49: Air Drop Incoming!
"They're here!!"
I quickly sat up and looked out the window. In the distance, two helicopters were continuously broadcasting throughout the city center, including the outskirts, across the entire urban area.
"Attention survivors, this is the Military Support Division. Shortly, we will be conducting an air drop. Please all survivors be prepared, do not rush blindly, carry weapons suitable for yourselves as much as possible, and stay away from zombie hordes!"
The helicopters gradually flew overhead, hovering about six or seven stories high, directly above my building!
"All survivors, please remain vigilant and be prepared. We will be air-dropping supplies shortly. I repeat, all survivors..."
The broadcast played back and forth continuously. For some reason, the helicopter didn't leave my head, just circled in this vicinity.
Hurriedly, I put on my bra. In my anxiety, my chest was suddenly pinched by the bra, causing me to grimace in pain. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it. I quickly put on my clothes, slipped on a pair of slippers, grabbed my saber, and rushed upstairs!
However... by the time I reached the top floor, the helicopter had already flown far away...
"Tsk!! I almost thought I could catch the helicopter!"
Watching the helicopter gradually disappear into the distance, I gritted my teeth and reluctantly returned downstairs. After preparing everything, but before the airdrop... I should probably go get some shoes. --Thinking this, I looked down at my flip-flops.
I should probably make a list, write down what I need to do next, so I can have a structured plan. For now... I'll go get shoes first.
I remember... "38 Yuan Shoe Store" is apparently in the city center, near the north side. Maybe... I can also pick up some gasoline on the way?
At the gas station, even though there's no external power, normal gas stations seem to have internal emergency generators. I hope... it works.
After all... I don't have much confidence about what the situation is like there yet. I can only take it one step at a time. As for why I'm getting shoes first, and not... waiting for the airdrop.
Part of it is my own fear at play...
After all, with my current appearance, and the fact that the airdrop supplies will be sought after by all survivors in the city, then... I have a high probability of encountering other survivors.
If they're good people, that's another story. But if I run into some bad people... literally, people whose minds have completely collapsed. In that situation, if something unexpected happens, how could I run wearing a pair of flip-flops?
The conclusion is: the risk is too great!
Just like on the 11th, when I was in a hurry to get to the city hospital, I turned in the opposite direction to the villa area to find a car.
I woke up in the city hospital. The zombies downstairs, and the zombies on the streets nearby, were already too numerous to count. For several blocks, scattered everywhere, were zombies.
I saw it with my own eyes, so I thought, if something goes wrong, could my two feet possibly escape the encirclement of so many zombies?
The answer is...
The risk is too great. Those streets full of zombies could completely block my escape routes. And if I'm blocked, if I'm lucky, I might find a safe place to hide and wait for the zombies outside to disperse, or starve to death.
If I'm unlucky, I might very well die at the hands of the zombies.
Even though I have the "extraordinary state," which allows me to easily kill a dozen or even dozens of zombies, my extraordinary state consumes too much energy.
This consumption is the limit, twice a day. There's no possibility of activating it a third time.
And the zombies... there are not just hundreds, perhaps even thousands or tens of thousands.
I need to go to the city hospital. Without a vehicle, I don't have enough confidence to return alive from the city hospital.
So... for safety's sake, I went to the villa area to find a car.
And now, also for safety, I have to get shoes first—at least two or three pairs, so I can switch them out.
Thinking this, I walked down the stairs. However... when I reached the third floor, suddenly, a low, guttural breathing sound came up from below!!
'Zombie!!'
Instantly, I remembered when the helicopter was hovering over my rooftop just now. Could it be-- the sound of the helicopter attracted the attention of the nearby zombies?
"Damn it!!"
Muttering softly, I lowered my body, strapped the saber to myself, drew the saber, and slowly walked down...
Sunlight streamed through the windows of the stairwell, and a shadow... without a scalp... slowly came into view.
'It... it's going upstairs?!'
That's right, this zombie was heading upstairs. Although it was moving slowly, it was definitely advancing!!
This was a real problem! The zombie's gaze had been fixed on the stairs the whole time. If... if it saw me at that moment and let out a shout, all the zombies gathered here over the past few days would definitely hear it and come running!!
I couldn't face this zombie head-on right now. I wasn't fast enough to stop it before it opened its mouth, unless I activated 'extraordinary state'.
However... today was supposed to be the day for the airdrop supplies. Activating the extraordinary state would consume so much stamina that I wouldn't be able to accomplish what I wanted to do today, and it might even put me in danger!
Gritting my teeth... I had no other choice. I could only retreat step by step. Before the zombie rounded the corner of the stairwell, I made it back to the fourth floor, but...
"Creak... creak..."
The footsteps were getting closer!!!
Why did this zombie suddenly decide to head my way!!
