Chapter 83 Passing Zombies
Zoe slept uncomfortably, her eyelashes fluttering in her sleep. Of course, it was impossible to sleep comfortably sitting on a cold, hard stone, but with Suwan beside her, she at least slept peacefully.
Suwan never fell into a deep sleep completely, as that would make her lose her vigilance. If she was alone, she might climb up a tree to rest and perhaps feel less nervous, but Zoe, who had no self-protection ability, was by her side and needed her protection, so she couldn't relax at any time.
Suwan was just in a light sleep, holding the gun in her hand all the time. She opened her eyes when it was just getting light in the sky and checked the time. It was just past three in the morning. Zoe was leaning in her arms, still sleeping soundly. So Suwan maintained that posture without moving, looking aimlessly ahead.
I don't know what the situation is at home now. Even if their landing point is as close to the city as possible, it will take at least three days to walk from here to the city where her home is. If they encounter zombies or other problems that hinder them, it will take longer. Because she has made plans to leave in advance, Suwan tried her best to prepare her equipment. The vitamins and compressed biscuits in the combat bag are enough for two people to sustain for five days. Suwan has strong enough survival ability in the wild, so compared to food, Suwan is worried about whether Zoe's physical strength can keep up with her speed. Even if the journey is safe, Zoe's physical fitness cannot keep moving forward, so she will have to prepare for a longer time.
Suwan was also worried about one thing. The noise of the plane flying over the forest yesterday would definitely attract the attention of all parties, whether it was humans or zombies. In the central town, Suwan had already seen the zombies evolve into hunters. Their speed was close to the running speed of adults. It would be terrible if groups of zombies were attracted. They were very lucky to spend a peaceful night and could not expect too much.
Suwan looked at the frost on the fallen leaves on the ground and felt that he shouldn't let Zoe continue sleeping.
Suwan moved his arm around Zoe's shoulder and held Zoe's cold hand, rubbing it gently. Zoe woke up immediately, but not completely. She rubbed her eyes, stretched her body that was stiff due to the low temperature and sleeping posture, and asked sleepily, "Are we leaving?"
"You rest for a while, then we'll set off," Suwan said considerately. She stood up and stretched her sore shoulders and body, took out a piece of compressed biscuit from the combat bag and gave it to Zoe. Then she stood up and kicked the ashes of the burnt fire on the ground to cover up the traces of their stay here, and climbed up a nearby tall tree to look into the distance with a telescope.
The trees in this forest were not as dense and tall as the ones in the forest near Cole City. Suwan could see the outline of the city in the distance by standing on a tall tree. Suwan adjusted the focus of the telescope and this time he could see more clearly.
It was a dead city.
That's right, dead silence.
