After checking that the ropes were tied properly, Song Ning scanned the crowd.

“Where’s that Huang Zhong?” Her eyes turned slightly cold.

“Chengcheng, Huang Zhong is gone.”

The girl nodded. “Sister, we can just ask these people.”

“Does anyone know where Huang Zhong went?”

“Me!” A guy with dyed yellow hair immediately jumped out.

“There’s a small path here, but ordinary people don’t know about it. I only noticed it because I used to work here.”

“He must have run away that way!”

Song Ning nodded. “Lead the way.”

In the apocalypse, no potential threat could be let go.

Ping Chengcheng followed behind Song Ning, giving Wu Sheng a kick before leaving while Song Ning wasn’t paying attention. “Keep an eye on them.”

Wu Sheng nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying yes.

Rolling her eyes at him, Ping Chengcheng thought this guy was quite interesting. He was obedient and had a decent brain.

The two followed the yellow-haired guy to the back kitchen. A large pile of clutter half-covered an iron fence-like door. The path inside was deep, dark, and damp, and the ground was sticky.

“It must be inside here.”

“It’s…here, here…”

The yellow-haired guy’s face was a bit ugly, as if he had thought of something.

“What’s wrong with here?” Song Ning asked, puzzled. The path was unusually dark, and she didn’t know what was inside. From the deepest part, she occasionally heard the low roar of zombies.

“There are also many zombies inside.” The yellow-haired guy said.

“Ahhh!—”

A scream came from the small path. After a while, the figure of a man appeared from the darkness, followed by seven or eight bloody zombies.

Song Ning sneered and raised the gun in her hand.

Huang Zhong, looking at the handgun pointing at him, was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he slid to his knees at Song Ning’s feet.

“Sister, big sister! Don’t kill me. I know a lot of things. Save me!”

He groveled at Song Ning’s feet, almost licking Song Ning’s shoes covered in zombie blood. If there were no bloodstains on them, he might have actually licked them.

Ping Chengcheng unhappily grabbed Song Ning’s arm, stood in front of Song Ning herself, and kicked Huang Zhong in the face.

Hmph! You don’t deserve to be so close to Song Ning’s feet!

The zombies that were chasing after them were killed by Song Ning’s gunfire. She had originally wanted to kill Huang Zhong as well, but after hearing Huang Zhong’s words, she had some thoughts about asking for information.

“What things do you know? I hope you can satisfy us.” Song Ning’s eyes were cold, and the words she spat out were devoid of emotion.

Huang Zhong’s legs were trembling, tears and snot flowing, looking at Song Ning and then at Ping Chengcheng.

But she saw that this girl with the precise marksmanship was staring at him with scarlet light in her eyes.

Ping Chengcheng hadn’t forgotten the lustful way Huang Zhong had looked at Song Ning before!

She wanted to kill Huang Zhong! How dare he have those kinds of thoughts about Song Ning? He was really courting death!

“Ah! Monster! She, she’s going to turn into a zombie!” Huang Zhong was so frightened that he leaned back, falling to the ground.

Song Ning followed Huang Zhong’s gaze. The girl was lowering her head, fiddling with her fingers, as if she cared very much about the word “monster.”

Song Ning felt a pain in her heart, and she was also a little angry.

She stepped forward, kicking Huang Zhong with the sound of wind breaking, and stepped hard on his chest, making Huang Zhong’s breath stagnate.

“Don’t call her a monster!”

Huang Zhong’s face was flushed red, and he shook his body like he had epilepsy, nodding vigorously at Song Ning.

Ping Chengcheng clenched her right hand, looking at Song Ning’s small feet stepping on Huang Zhong through her hair, and pursed her lips.

He even used his chest to touch Song Ning’s feet. ‘You’re dead!’

Ten seconds later, Song Ning released her foot, snorting coldly. “Alright, what do you know?”

Huang Zhong sat up, stroking his chest, looking down at Song Ning’s shoes with lingering fear, not daring to look at the two of them.

“Uh, you’re planning to go to the S City Survivor Base, right?”

Song Ning and Ping Chengcheng looked at each other.

“How do you know?” Song Ning’s expression didn’t change.

Huang Zhong coughed twice with difficulty. “Many people here are from the S City Survivor Base.”

“But, there’s a road a hundred kilometers ahead that’s full of zombies. The density is at least several hundred thousand, crowded there. The key is… that’s already the only road.”

“The closer bridge collapsed, and the city center is even more dangerous, so…”

Huang Zhong secretly looked at the faces of the two “masters.” Seeing that their faces were not very good, he continued to say, “You can’t pass ahead. I’m not lying to you. Go out now and ask anyone.”

“They’ve all seen it.”

Ping Chengcheng nodded with mixed feelings. It seemed that she could only temporarily give up going to S City.

“Alright, you can go die.” Song Ning raised her handgun, her eyes without a trace of pity.

“Don’t, don’t! Big sister, master! I also know other news! You’ll definitely be more interested in this!”

Huang Zhong was sweating nervously, straightening his posture and kneeling on the ground, clasping his hands together and begging repeatedly. “There’s a nearby war reserve granary, and I know where it is!”

War reserve granary!

The girl’s cute eyes flashed with a bright light.

Because of the acid rain a month ago, most of the food in the granary was destroyed, but… a war reserve granary, its protection measures were specifically designed for extreme weather or wars that might occur!

If no one had destroyed the grain inside, it would definitely be well-preserved! With that grain, building a medium-sized shelter here wouldn’t be a problem! If there were enough people, a large shelter wouldn’t be impossible either!

But…

“Then why didn’t you find someone to move the supplies before?” Song Ning asked the question in Ping Chengcheng’s mind.

Huang Zhong smiled flatteringly at Song Ning. “I only discovered it not long ago, and I was just planning to send people to move the supplies together tomorrow.”

Song Ning was skeptical, but they weren’t very afraid. They had plenty of weapons now, and they could basically ignore small-scale zombies. Even if there were special infected, it wasn’t impossible to fight them.

“Then you’ll take us there tomorrow.” Song Ning said calmly, stepping forward and grabbing the man’s collar, tying his hands behind his back.

“Go!”

Huang Zhong lowered his head, secretly sizing up the two girls, and sneered inwardly.

He had long discovered that war reserve granary. He had also gone with people to investigate it once, but that time, he was the only one who came back alive.

There was a very strange zombie there. It was clearly rotten, clearly had bluish skin, and was no different from ordinary zombies!

But it could actually use a gun! It was holding an automatic rifle and shooting extremely accurately. Almost half of the people were killed as soon as they showed their heads!

However, that zombie had a habit of waiting for all the prey to be within its attack range before firing. When the time came, using that information gap well…

Those two girls would die without a burial place!

Heh heh… He hid his emotions, his face covered in dirt and tears in the corners of his eyes.

Finally, he was locked back into the storage room with the iron door locked.

“Stay put.”

The two returned to the gate, seeing Wu Sheng leaning lazily against the door frame. There were seven or eight more zombie corpses outside, mixed among the corpses of the dozen crossbowmen.

“Brother Wu Sheng, can you move those people’s bodies away?” Ping Chengcheng blinked her eyes.

The smell of blood would attract zombies. Zombies had the ability to transmit information like ants.

They could smell the scent of food and communicate with low roars, transmitting and gathering within a certain range.

That’s how zombie hordes were created.
