Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Yesterday.

It was already night when I received this news.

All survivors know the terror of zombies at night.

Lin Zhijie didn't dare to step out of his residence, and could only carefully take care of his already weakened younger sister.

In his anxiety and unease, after staying up all night, he finally made it to dawn.

He immediately asked that survivor friend to lead the way, supporting his sister to find the residence of the leather jacket man and his gang!

The process was fairly smooth, only a few streets away, and it didn't take long to find the place.

But when he offered to use his last remaining food to exchange for medicine with them, this group actually said that the food he brought was not enough!

You must know that he brought a full 1.5 kilograms of rice!

It was already the last lifeline for him and his sister!

But it couldn't be exchanged for that row of light anti-inflammatory drugs in the leather jacket man's hand.

He demanded 15 kilograms of grain to exchange for one row!

A full ten times what he brought!

When Lin Zhijie heard this request, he only felt his blood rush to his head, and he almost couldn't help but punch the leather jacket man and snatch the medicine!

In the end, reason prevailed over impulse.

The leather jacket man's gang had seven or eight people, and they were all strong men.

His sister was right next to him, and even with a friend there to help, if he really attacked, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning against this group.

Moreover, his sister's injury was getting more and more serious, and being able to sit next to him now was already the result of forcing herself; it was impossible for her to help him.

Next, he could only rely on himself.

Let me give you a suggestion, settle your sister in our residential area, just find an empty suite to live in first, and then you go collect food as soon as possible, otherwise, judging by the way your sister looks, she won't last long~"

The leather jacket man actually gave a very constructive suggestion at this time.

Their eyes all turned to Lin Zhijie's sister, Lin Runwei.

Due to the worsening wound on her foot, she had been running a high fever, and her pale face revealed an abnormal blush.

She seemed to be a little delirious, absent-minded.

Even though many people's eyes were on her, she didn't react in any way.

Lin Zhijie's heart couldn't help but clench again.

He also knew that his sister really couldn't last long. It had been two days since the accident, and apart from drinking some porridge, she basically couldn't eat anything else.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the leather jacket man with the last hope, and pleaded:

Brother Dao! Can you give me the medicine on credit first!? My sister is about to collapse! Once my sister takes the medicine and feels better, we will definitely not go back on our word! We will definitely offer the food needed for the exchange in full!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed a full ninety degrees to Brother Dao, the leather jacket man, to show his sincerity.

Don't do this! We only accept on-the-spot settlements here, and we don't accept credit! Otherwise, if everyone comes to us and does this, how will we survive in the future!?

You should go find food quickly. If you're lucky, you might be able to collect enough today, then your sister will be saved, right."

Brother Dao refused Lin Zhijie on the spot, not giving him any hope.

Seeing this.

Lin Zhijie also knew that if he waited any longer, this group wouldn't budge at all.

Because they had already grasped his weakness!

Okay! We'll leave immediately to find food. Please keep the medicine for me, Brother Dao. I'll definitely come back to exchange it with you as soon as I collect enough food!"

Lin Zhijie didn't want to waste any more time here. He helped his sister up, called his survivor friend who introduced them, and left this place together.

Watching the backs of the three people leaving the room and walking away.

The sound of talking rang out again in the leather jacket man's room.

Brother Dao, they're gone."

One of the men said to Brother Dao.

Yeah, get ready to keep an eye on where they settle down."

The corners of Brother Dao's fierce face turned up.

Revealing a strange smile.

————————————

Leaving Brother Dao's residence, Lin Zhijie picked up his sister, ran downstairs quickly, and ran with another survivor friend in this old residential area.

Zhijie, why don't we go to the building over there? I know a place where we can stay for a while. After putting your sister down, we can go out to find food to exchange for medicine immediately, and it will be convenient to go back to Brother Dao at that time, without delaying time again because of the night."

Hearing this, Lin Zhijie, who was holding his sister, felt that it made sense, and didn't continue to decline. He followed his friend to find the so-called temporary place to stay.

Sure enough.

As his friend said, they found a relatively clean two-bedroom apartment in just a few minutes.

I don't know where the previous owner went, but it was not bad as a temporary place to put his sister to rest.

At this time, Lin Runwei was almost in a coma, and only reacted when her brother called her occasionally.

Lin Zhijie knew that his sister couldn't be delayed any longer. Finally, after instructing his sister and letting her hide in a room in this residence, he left here gently with his friend.

Li Fei, thank you very much for telling us that there is medicine to exchange in this place, and for bringing us here at the risk of danger. Just leave the matter of finding food to me. I will definitely collect enough food to save my sister!"

This young survivor, whom he called Li Fei, showed him a smile and said carelessly:

What are you being so polite for? Everyone is friends, and it's right to help each other when we have difficulties. Although I don't have much food, I will also go out to look for it. If I find it, I will wait for you in this place in the afternoon. Of course, I may not be able to find it, I'm just trying my best."

Lin Zhijie hugged Li Fei gratefully.

In the last days, it was great to have such friends who could help each other!

Even though they had only known each other for a short time.

But Li Fei did find hope for their brother and sister!

Great kindness is beyond words of thanks. After I save my sister, please feel free to ask for any help you need in the future. As long as our brother and sister can do it, we will definitely not refuse!"

After speaking, Lin Zhijie didn't want to waste any more time. His sister was still waiting for him to find food to exchange for life-saving medicine!

At the entrance of the residential area, he said goodbye to Li Fei and ran into the distance.

Li Fei stood there, watching his leaving back.

Also revealed a strange smile.

——————————————

Lin Zhijie, who had already left this residential area, didn't know anything unusual behind him.

At this time, he had only one goal.

That is to collect enough food as soon as possible to save his sister's life!

If it were another survivor, to find 30 kilograms of food in one day, no more than two or three out of a hundred people would be able to succeed.

Because most of the easily obtained food in the outside world has already been scavenged several times by the living.

As for those places that obviously contain a lot of zombies, basically no one dares to provoke them.

First, they don't have useful tools to kite the zombies, and second, even if they make noise to attract the zombies, they have to keep making noise to hold them back.

If they don't keep making noise, the person making the noise will be threatened.

Once they stop.

The zombies will return to various buildings, easily blocking the survivors who sneak in.

So, at present, most survivors can only search for food in buildings that are either empty or obviously have few zombies.

Those occupied by zombies that still contain food, if they are sealed, are fine, but open ones will only accelerate mold after acid rain evaporates.

As time goes by, the less food survivors can find.
