After all, other zombies were really unbearable to look at due to their hideous appearances.
The children obediently gazed at Wen Xiaoxiao and blinked their big eyes.
Not long after Wen Xiaoxiao left, Bo Yiliang woke up.
Seeing the empty space beside him, he sat up and rubbed his temples.
Lately, he had been feeling a bit weary, but after this short rest, he felt much better.
Thinking that they would likely reach the base his father established by tomorrow noon, he smiled. He wondered how his parents would react when they saw the five children.
They must be feeling happy!

In the study, Bo Yu tapped the table while listening to Qin Ye’s account of the events in M Country and other countries. He frowned and said, “We can’t control what happens to others. It’s not our concern.”
“By the way, have you been able to contact Yiliang?”
“No.” Qin Ye shook his head. He had tried but hadn’t been successful.
“Ah! Yiliang has been gone for so long, and there’s still no news. I wonder if something happened.”
Thinking of his eldest son, he couldn’t help but feel a headache. Every night, his wife would nag endlessly about how their daughter-in-law and grandchildren hadn’t been brought back yet.
She complained every time about his eldest son, saying that he still hadn’t managed to bring back his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
At this moment, Xue Yuna turned to Bo Yibing and said, “Yibing, look at your older brother. He’s really useless. It’s been so long, and he still hasn’t brought back my daughter-in-law and grandchildren.”
She dreamed of her adorable granddaughter last night—fair-skinned and chubby. It made her so happy that she woke up smiling, only to realize it was just a dream. She then became angry.
Sure enough, it’s the same as the saying, “Dreams are deceptive at night…”
She couldn’t remember the rest. Growing old had also affected her memory.
Bo Yibing often heard his mother complain about his older brother in front of him.
He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his mother.
He had no idea how many times his mother had said that.
Unable to stand it anymore, Bo Yibing sat up from the sofa, turned around, and escaped stealthily to his own room.
Listening to his mother’s endless nagging, he thought it was better to lie on his bed and laze around.
Look at his father, how clever! He found an excuse to talk with Qin Ye and stayed hidden in the study.
But something really happened. As for what it was, Bo Yibing wasn’t aware of the details.
Lying on the bed, he stared boredly at the wall, wondering when this uneventful life would change. Everything they needed was lacking. It was really a pain in the butt.
Going outside? It wasn’t an option. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was very big, and hardly anyone went out.
The food supplies at the base were also depleting rapidly. At most, they could survive for another week. If his older brother didn’t return with any provisions, they would face hunger.
Reflecting on the past, he regretted his wasteful habits. In the past, he used to eat large quantities of food. If it didn’t taste good, he would throw it away without a second thought. Not to mention those little bits of vegetables, he would disregard them if they didn’t taste good. But now? He wanted to eat, but there was nothing.
There wasn’t even much rice left.
Now he felt the consequences of not cherishing those times.
The sudden appearance of zombies caught them off guard. For ordinary people like them, there was no warning about facing such terrifying events.
It can be said that the entire country experienced panic.
They either await death or live in fear.
For regular people without special abilities, their only option was to do hard labor.
Without enough people working, whether they had abilities or not, there wouldn’t be enough food to go around.
And coming outside to search for food was very dangerous. It was a gamble whether you could return safely.
With many zombies everywhere, it was inconvenient with many people around.
And if there were fewer people, it would be hard to fight zombies.
I’m surprised Future Base hasn’t established a fighting force to eliminate zombies in certain areas so they can then stock up on any supplies still left. I figured after all this time, they would have started actively eliminating zombies, otherwise the situation will continue to get worse for them. They can’t continue to stay holed up inside forever without venturing out to investigate the situation. Especially since Bo Yu is a military man, I figured he’d be more proactive in fighting off the zombies.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
