Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 770 - 589: Black Snow, Natural Camouflage (3/7, asking for monthly ticket) _2
But after this black snow fell, the world became completely dark.
Whether it was the sky or the ground, both turned pitch black.
Black absorbs light, so even with a flashlight, the light doesn’t reach far; this black snow covers every object.
This kind of darkness instills fear.
Black snow is one of the most terrifying sights in an apocalyptic landscape. This snow isn’t just white but filled with black polluted substances.
When the black snow fell, people saw a pitch-black scene where trees, buildings, and vehicles were all covered in black snow, looking as though they were wrapped in a thin black film.
Snowflakes landing on people’s hair, clothes, and skin brought a chill and fear.
Amidst this black snow, the snow would continue to accumulate, forming layers of black ice covering the entire city and forests, making the earth ever darker and more desolate.
...
However, from north to south, the migrating zombies were unaffected by these snowflakes.
Instead, the black snow covering them served as camouflage.
In the darkness, it’s hard to see black objects.
Xing City.
It’s a prefectural city in the northern part of Xin City.
At this moment, a dark torrent of zombies surged toward this city.
Atop a high-rise building, there was a team of seven or eight people.
They had been hiding here for nearly a month.
Previously, it had been continuously raining acid, preventing them from venturing outside.
Now, with the temperature dropping, the acid rain turned to snow.
Their patience had run out, and they planned to go out to scout as they had run out of all their food during this month.
Moreover, three of them had contracted respiratory diseases from the acid rain and urgently needed medication.
They had to search for medications for respiratory diseases at hospitals or pharmacies.
"Ai Shan, you go down first to scout," said someone who appeared to be the leader of the small team.
Ai Shan, thin and frail, replied reluctantly upon hearing the leader’s command, "Why is it me again? Didn’t we agree to take turns?"
The leader replied without hesitation: "You’re the weakest, unless you prove your strength."
"..." Unable to refute this reasoning, Ai Shan kept silent.
Already thin, he had become even weaker post-apocalypse due to a lack of nourishment.
Because of his small size and weak strength, his combat ability was not strong, so he was always the one chosen for reconnaissance missions.
Unable to argue back, Ai Shan had to accept the task.
Carrying a spear, Ai Shan reluctantly walked downstairs.
Despite appearing small, he was very agile.
He moved silently.
He had survived numerous dangerous scouting missions, showcasing his skillfulness.
His alertness was exceptional.
He slowly walked downstairs.
Covering the flashlight with one hand, revealing just a tiny bit of light to shine forward.
This hand-cranked flashlight, which he had found earlier, could generate electricity and store it as long as he kept cranking it.
It was his treasure.
Coming down from several floors, he was a bit out of breath.
When he reached the first floor, he didn’t go out.
Instead, he took a deep breath twice behind the door.
After his heartbeat, which had accelerated from coming down the stairs, stabilized again, he slowly reached for the flashlight and swept it outside.
Quickly retrieved it.
Then he quietly listened to the sounds outside from behind the door.
Thirty seconds later, no sound came.
He slowly peeked out, then swept the flashlight in the direction outside.
The outside was pitch black.
Even the ground was black.
Damn, it’s so dark!
Ai Shan couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
Suddenly, on the road, he saw several objects resembling cars covered in a layer of black snow, and behind these vehicles, he saw a slight stir.
Black, indistinct.
In all directions, black swallowed the light from his flashlight.
Somewhat at a loss, he really couldn’t see clearly.
He shone the light again towards something thirty meters away.
A bunch of dark shadows.
What are these? Can’t make out anything!
Suddenly, his flashlight illuminated the outside of the main entrance.
Two meters ahead, he saw clearly.
Numerous zombies were slowly walking in the snow.
Against the black sky, amid the black snow, and on the black ground, these zombies were indistinct.
Only from such a distance, could he see clearly.
The Zombie about two meters away seemed to notice the light and turned its head.
Quickly covered the light and hid behind the main door.
Goosebumps rose.
His whole body shivered from the cold and fear.
It was obvious what he saw.
Why are these Zombies not making any noise!
He quietly shifted his steps, moving little by little towards the stairs.
This building of the apocalypse had long lost power, and the elevator was useless.
He stepped out, treading lightly, trying not to make any noise.
The glass door, he had never opened it.
It still had two locks from when they had entered the building.
Slowly moving, he dared not even breathe.
Outside the main door, there was only a low rustling sound.
Similar to the sound of falling snowflakes.
But at this moment, Ai Shan knew that the sound was not just from falling snowflakes, but also from many Zombies moving.
After reaching one level of the stairs, he finally took a breath.
His heart was racing as he continued upwards.
Clang—
He accidentally stepped on a can on the floor, which in the silent darkness, sounded particularly harsh and abrupt.
Instantly, his heartbeat skipped.
He dared not move anymore, nor lift his foot.
He was between the first and second floors.
The Zombies outside the main door, hearing the noise, instantly rushed to this side of the door.
They roared twice into the inside and, hearing no response, eventually left.
Whew—
Thankfully, Ai Shan could finally breathe out the breath he had been holding.
Gently lifting his foot, he made no sound.
Ai Shan was satisfied and continued upstairs.
But when he reached the second floor, somehow, dozens of Zombies suddenly rushed to the entrance on the first floor.
Bang bang—
The glass door was hit, making a loud noise.
This noise caught the attention of other Zombies around.
The roaring sounds quickly merged into one, echoing through the sky.
And like ripples, they kept expanding outward.
A drop of water falls on a lake, the ripples picked up, spreading far.
The sound from these Zombies was the same.
How loud would the roar of hundreds of thousands of Zombies be?
When these hundreds of thousands of Zombies were quiet, they were like machines in standby mode, but once activated, they became extremely violent.
A dense, black Zombie Tide surged towards this building.
They were agile and quick, moving several times faster compared to their seemingly standby state earlier.
This black Zombie Tide was like a flood, crazily stacking upwards at a visible speed.
The glass at the entrance didn’t break, but that no longer mattered.
Ai Shan on the railing of the second floor, seeing the Zombies piling up below, was so shocked he could hardly move.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before these Zombies piled up three meters high.
Utterly terrifying!
He desperately ran upstairs, no longer caring about the noise of his steps.
Frantically running upwards.
...
On the rooftop.
Amidst the earth-shattering roars of Zombies, it scared them all!
When had so many Zombies arrived, yet they hadn’t noticed from their high building?
The black snow covered the ground, the buildings, and everything on the ground including the Zombies.
This black snow provided a camouflage for the Zombies.
"What’s going on with Ai Shan, sending him down to scout, how come there’s such a big issue from above!"
"Boss, take a look downstairs." a person standing by the window said to the boss.
While speaking, his legs were trembling.
"Hmm?" the leader leaned over, shining the flashlight, but it was all dark, nothing clear.
"Can’t see anything."
"Boss, look closely, this dark surge below, it’s not falling snow, could it be Zombies..."
The boss was silent for two seconds, and then a word popped out of his mouth:
"Fuck!"
......
