Chapter 23: Wolves in Front, Tigers Behind
The cracked highway, the collapsed and broken streetlights, overturned and damaged vehicles everywhere, and scattered dense fragments, a promotional frame in the distance hanging at an angle, swaying as if it might completely fall in the next moment, the windows of the majority of buildings constructed with steel and concrete had shattered glass, and even a nearby bank had scattered a large amount of banknotes.
Desolate, dilapidated, despairing, a breath of apocalypse lingering where all creatures on earth seemed dead.
Lu Ren merely surveyed cautiously around, and after confirming there were no monsters, he proceeded walking along the wall.
As for Li Shu, Lu Ren didn’t pay much attention, as long as hidden well here, surviving seven days wasn’t too demanding.
Without incident or risk, it wasn’t until reaching a store with a convenience store sign that Lu Ren stopped his steps, not making a sound the whole way.
Everything proceeded in silence, allowing Lu Ren to detect any abnormal sounds or situations immediately.
Carefully crossing the glass shards at the entrance and entering the store, Lu Ren’s eyes were met with collapsed shelves and various scattered foods, drinks.
Lu Ren didn’t even glance at them, knowing from the thick dust accumulation that everything had long expired, food and drinks were spoiled and decayed, most of them broken, and signs of mold were evident.
After merely a quick glance, Lu Ren turned his attention to items that could be preserved for a long time.
In the real world, many cans produced during World War II are still in the market, with expiry dates claiming hundreds of years before spoiling.
However, after circling the area, Lu Ren found no trace of cans, while many goods were missing from shelves mostly intact against the wall.
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, a suspicion formed in his heart.
