"Yige! Something's wrong with the bloodstains over here,"

I followed the voice, and Wang Qiang was pointing at a pool of blood in front of us.

We followed the bloodstains forward when we were suddenly attracted by several low roars.

Through a half-collapsed courtyard wall, several zombies were wandering in the yard.

These zombies were not newly converted, so where did this fresh blood come from?

There was only one answer, there are people in the courtyard.

I gestured for a pincer movement, and Wang Qiang understood, quietly moving to the other side.

When we were in position, we both shot our carbon fiber arrows, killing the zombies in the courtyard one by one.

After clearing the area, we did not rush into the courtyard.

The house in the courtyard had already collapsed halfway, with the other half standing crookedly in the middle. Several obvious bloodstains crossed the collapsed bricks and stones, disappearing behind the wooden door.

Wang Qiang wanted to approach but I stopped him.

“Don't act rashly, we just need to wait and see.”

Those people haven't eaten all night and are injured, they can't hold on much longer.

Wang Qiang and I waited until the afternoon, eating some dry food to sustain ourselves.

The two people in the house finally couldn't take it anymore and walked out.

On the left was a man in sunglasses, his face pale, a bamboo skewer deeply pierced into his right thigh, fresh blood flowing down. On the right, a man was holding one of the man in sunglasses' arms, with the other hand propped against his side, his lips cracked:

"Friend! We surrender, give us a way out."

The man in sunglasses was already very weak, after saying these few words, he couldn't stop gasping for breath.

Wang Qiang, soft-hearted, slowly put down his bow and arrow, showing a hint of reluctance.

At this moment, the two men made a move, the man in sunglasses, enduring the pain, grabbed towards Wang Qiang, and the other man drew out a dagger from the hand propped against the man in sunglasses' side, revealing a chilling flash.

The two of them cooperated seamlessly.

Just as the man in sunglasses grabbed the compound bow held up by Wang Qiang, a carbon fiber arrow flew out and hit the other man's arm.

A scream, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Wang Qiang became angry, grabbed the man in sunglasses' arm, and performed a shoulder throw.

A heavy impact sounded as the man hit the ground, followed by a muffled groan. The man in sunglasses, who was already weak, passed out from being thrown.

I walked up to pick up the dagger on the ground, ignoring the other man's pleading, and turned to Wang Qiang:

"He just taught you an important lesson!"

As Wang Qiang regained his composure, he pushed open the courtyard door and attracted several zombies, the bloody smell causing the zombies to abandon Wang Qiang and charge straight towards the two men in the courtyard.

The man in sunglasses passed out, the zombies' gnawing woke him up, but what followed was a desperate cry.

The other man, seeing this, turned pale, and turning to run away he stumbled again after just a few steps due to prolonged hunger and blood loss.

The horde of zombies pounced on him, tearing him apart.

We searched the village again and finally confirmed the last person who turned into a zombie in a group of corpses. None of the former wife and the people she brought with her escaped alive.

We didn't know if anyone else here knew, so we set up many baits and traps on the periphery. At the same time, we widened the outer iron plates and set up a hollow isolation zone in the middle to cushion the impact of the zombie horde and maintain it.

One day, two days, half a month, a month...

As time passed, the degree of decay of the zombie's bodies also increased.

Without new sources of corpses joining, these zombies could only eventually turn into a pile of dry bones.

We don't know how long the black tide of the end times will last, and we don't know when the completely turned into bricks mobile phone will be able to restore communication.

It could be the next second, it could be tomorrow, it could be never.

But I know one thing for sure - the accumulated food reserves can support our family for a long time.

"The end of the world has come!

"No matter what happens, we must protect the people we should protect."
