Chapter 1 The Law of Survival in the End Times

"This damn end of the world!"

Dragging his exhausted body, Li Ba walked out of the city gate and looked up at the sky. It was already evening, the sun was still like a high-hanging stove, baking the earth. Outside the city gate, there were shanty towns, seven or eight miles long, and there were people with disheveled heads and skinny faces everywhere, huddled in a small house made of wooden branches, with empty eyes and no breath.

Looking back at the city gate, standing on both sides of the man wearing camouflage uniforms and holding guns, a hint of envy flashed in Li Ba's eyes, sighed, dragging his legs like lead, and walking towards the shanty town step by step.

"When will I leave the refugee camp...go into the city!"

Maya predicted that December 21, 2012 was the end of the world, but no events happened on that day, and everything was as usual. Later, Maya predicted that people were treated as a joke on the dinner table after drinking. Unexpectedly, the end of the world really came just one year later. First, the sun and the moon disappeared, and darkness shrouded the earth. After people were in a panic for seven days, the lost sun and moon returned, accompanied by unknown viruses spreading throughout the world. In just a few days, nearly half of the population in the world had been infected with the virus and became living dead with depraved mentality, feeding on the flesh and blood of survivors, and was called zombies.

This day happened to be December 21, 2013. The Mayan prophecy was not distorted, but there was a slight deviation. After a whole year, the end of the world came.

Li Ba, 27 years old, graduated from Huaxia Agricultural University, and was the manager of the business promotion department of a well-known seed company in Wucheng for the end of the world. That day was a good day for him to defeat many opponents and compete to become the company's business manager. The company held a cocktail party to celebrate. Unexpectedly, the damn doomsday came, nearly half of more than 300 colleagues were infected with the virus and turned into zombies on the spot. Needless to say, under the pursuit and killing of zombies, less than 100 survivors remained, hiding in the conference room, waiting for government rescue.

After experiencing panic, darkness, hunger, and despair, the darkest and ugly side of human nature broke out. Li Ba saw with his own eyes that someone pushed his girlfriend to the zombies in exchange for a chance to survive. Some people were so hungry that they killed their good friends, fed with the other party's body and flesh, etc. If he hadn't been quite strong, he would have been tortured into a madman by the madness in front of him.

Surviving is the most important thing!

He kept repeating this sentence to himself over and over again. Finally, he survived and waited until the government sent troops to rescue him and helped the survivors evacuate Wucheng.

As the unknown virus broke out and the doomsday came, the government was obviously panicked and underestimated the degree of destruction of the disaster. Although the army had heavy weapons such as machine guns and cannons, it was still difficult to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of zombies in Wucheng, and retreated step by step. However, it finally opened up a way to survive so that survivors could escape and ascend to heaven.

Under the cover of the troops, Li Ba followed a group of survivors with more than 5,000 people from Wucheng. The good times did not last long, and the corpse tide came, and the troops were killed and injured, and the survivor team was also dispersed. Li Ba survived with good luck and followed a small group of refugees to escape without target.

Along the way, this refugee team with 500 people continued to suffer disasters, including zombies, mutant beasts, suffered heavy attacks, heavy casualties, and hunger and illness. In the end, less than 200 people survived.

Li Ba is one of them. It is impossible to say that he is lucky. Just when the ammunition and food are exhausted, they came to a settlement established by survivors, Xibu settlement.

The end of the world is coming, unknown viruses cover the earth. Some people become zombies under the attack of viruses, and some people's bodies are immune to resist the invasion of viruses. Among them, a very small number of people have changed their genes in their bodies when their immune system resists viruses, and they have acquired various incredible powers.

These very few people are called evolutionists.

Evolutionists have the power to surpass zombies, but maintain everything that humans should have, which can be regarded as new humans. Under their leadership, the broken land of China has built up survivor settlements, and Xibu is one of them.

Xibu is located in the southwest of Wucheng. It was originally a small town with 20,000 to 30,000 permanent residents, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is dangerous. After the end of the world, survivors continued to pour in. Under the leadership of a group of armed police officers and soldiers who had lost contact with him and a group of powerful evolutionists, they strangled the zombies here, built city walls, and built settlements.

After Li Ba's 100-person team arrived, after screening, several people who showed the talent of the evolutionists were allowed to enter, and their relatives and friends were also given preferential treatment. Some people with specialties were allowed to enter the city. Most of the remaining survivors, including Li Ba, were turned away. In the official words of Xibu settlement, the resources here are limited and they cannot support too many people. If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

A large number of survivors were turned away and reluctant to leave, so they settled down to form today's refugee camp. Compared with the zombies wandering in the wilderness and the violent mutant beasts, it is undoubtedly much safer outside Xibu City. Even if there is no food and drink, the survivors must stay here.

The existence of the refugee camp was not driven away by the Xibu settlement, but instead pointed out a way to survive. There are many villages around Xibu, and there is a small county town twenty kilometers away. There are abundant supplies around it, and a large number of zombies are also present. As long as you are brave, you can get supplies around to survive. Also, killing zombies to obtain crystal cores and mutant beasts in their bodies can exchange food from the Xibu settlement official, and even get the opportunity to live in the city. At the same time, the settlement has just been established, and the city walls require construction, farming and other hard work, and manpower is also needed. As long as you are willing to give manpower, you can also get food to survive every day.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself!

Li Ba knows the power of zombies the most. The most ordinary zombies have twice the power of ordinary people, and 15 times the speed of ordinary people. It is not easy to kill them!

Mutant beasts are even more terrifying. When ordinary people encounter them, there is no other choice but to die. Li Ba is self-aware. He is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. His suffering life in the end of the world has not made him lose much. He has a round face, a waist of more than three feet, a big belly, a bulky body, and inflexible legs. It is all about luck to survive. It is a fantasy to kill zombies and mutant beasts, and he is seeking death!

Therefore, he had no choice but to sell his labor and do hard work, and exchange it for two braised buns every day to survive.

He had to eat enough every day and had to do heavy work. This kind of life made Li Ba feel worse than death. But after he finished work, he came to the refugee camp and looked at the skinny and uninhabited refugees, and felt a little superior in his heart.

Being a coolie also depends on your health. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled are not qualified. If you die of fatigue on the construction site, someone will collect the body. Is it troublesome!

Following the stenchy path, he noticed envious gazes on both sides. Li Ba unconsciously straightened his chest and walked around. When he came to his residence, he was about to push the door and go in. He was about to push the door and frowned. He turned around and surrounded him with a few unkempt and dirty faces.

"Master Ba, give me half a piece of steamed bun, I promise tonight to make you feel good!" A woman said with a flattering look on her face.

"I just need... a little steamed bun to accompany you overnight, playing sings, and playing whatever you want!" Another woman pulled her bra open, revealing her shriveled and thin breasts, looking at Li Ba with her face full of anticipation.

"You little damn girl, you dare to compete with me for business, don't want to live!"

"What are you doing? I want to do it, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

The purpose of the women came from was self-evident. Before the end of the world, they might have been rich daughters or white-collar workers in large companies. Now they can be played by men for half a piece of bran bun, and now they are even more frayed.

"Get out of here!"

Li Ba showed disgust on his face, and pushed the door into the room, and closed the wooden door with a "bang".

"Master Ba, please give me some food... My son hasn't eaten for three days, so he is almost starving to death!"

When the door was closed, there were women's crying outside, one of which was more miserable than the other. Li Ba heard it in his ears, and there was no expression on his face.

The first rule of survival in the end of the world.

To be compassionate to others is to be cruel to yourself!

He couldn't even survive, so how could he take out his only food to help these irrelevant women?

The crying and asking for help soon became weaker. The women outside the door might also know that even if they shouted, they could not ask for any food. After the footsteps were far away, Li Ba took out a mineral water bottle from the corner of the dim wall of the room, which contained half a bottle of water. Then, he took out a piece of steamed bun the size of a palm from the inner pocket of the Armani suit and started eating it in a small stutter.

This Armani suit was bought before the end of the world. In order to celebrate his becoming a business department manager, he gritted his teeth and spent several months to buy it. On the day of the end of the world, he deliberately wore this outfit to attend the company's cocktail party. On that day, he never had the chance to change the dress on his body. Now it is tattered and extremely dirty.

As the name suggests, bran buns are made of rice bran mixed with a little flour. Pig food before the end of the world has now become a delicious food. Li Ba chews carefully and swallows slowly, and his face shows an expression of incomparable enjoyment.

When the steamed bun was halfway through the size of a palm, he carefully put it away and planned to keep it for midnight snacks and enjoy it in the second half of the night. There was no way, others were fat and had a quick appetite to digest. If they ate all this steamed bun, they would definitely be so hungry that they couldn't sleep in the second half of the night. In that case, they would be unenergized in their work tomorrow and would be tortured and ridiculed by that hateful guy.

After drinking a sip of water, Li Ba lay directly on the wooden bed, motionless and began to fall asleep. He wanted to save all his physical fitness, deal with tomorrow's work, and live a good life.

After a while, snoring sounds were everywhere, and Li Ba fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to see himself ordering a table of dishes in the most luxurious five-star restaurant in Wucheng, accompanied by two beauties, eating and drinking with red wine.
