Chapter 1 Seaweed in the Sun

In the old rental house, which is small and dark, a young man is still in bed and has not gotten up.

He slept in a very obedient position, curled up like a baby, with earphones plugged into his ears. Depending on the situation, he should be able to sleep for a long time, but a loud bang penetrated the earphones, causing the young man to wake up suddenly.

"What's going on?"

There was another loud noise, and Fang Nuo's sleepiness disappeared. He heard clearly this time. The noise came from outside the door, and someone was banging on his door!

Fang Nuo thought about many possibilities for a while. Was it a drunkard, a fugitive in a hurry, or a landlord who was impatient to wait?

But as the noise at the door came again, he excluded the landlord and the fugitive from his mind. It was probably some drunkard who had mistakenly admitted the wrong house. Even the fugitive would not be so persistent, and the landlord would not make such a noise.

He subconsciously didn't say anything, but quickly put on his shoes, socks and clothes, and looked at his phone, 6:05.

It was late spring, and the morning was very cool, so Fang Nuo added another layer of coat outside.

"Why is this person so annoying? He disturbs his dreams so early in the morning!"

Fang Nuo was impatient and decided to force him to wake up, but as he approached the door, an inexplicable feeling stopped him.

The door was still being banged, but at this time he had already noticed something was wrong.

It's too quiet.

Although it is early in the morning, in this old neighborhood there will be birds chirping from around four o'clock, there will be the sound of people going out one after another, and the sound of busy traffic on the street will be vaguely heard.

But now, it's too quiet. There are only sounds outside the door - the walls of this old community house are thin and the sound insulation is not good. Other neighbors should come out to take a look, but now, there is no other sound at all.<

/p>

The more Fang Nuo thought about it, the more something was wrong. His fingers were trembling slightly. There was no peephole in the door of the rental house, so he had no way of knowing what was outside the door, but judging from the current situation, the door should still be able to hold up for a while.

He quickly rummaged through the rental house, found a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and dug out a few hollow stainless steel tubes that supported the mosquito nets. He finally felt confident.

Fang Nuo opened the curtains, and the cool morning light shone in, illuminating the room.

What appeared in front of Fang Nuo's eyes was a stunning scene on earth!

In the open space in the community, there are nearly a hundred humanoid creatures with distorted faces and pale skin standing quietly and sparsely. They tore their clothes to pieces and looked up at the sun like sunflowers, like a pilgrim!

Further away, thick smoke billowed, vehicles collided with each other on the roadside, and there were countless vaguely blue and white creatures twisting and looking up at the sun!

Fang Nuo couldn't help but look at the sky, which was cloudless and blue. A pale disk hung far away in the sky, emitting endless light and heat.

"...Am I still dreaming?"

The sound of banging on the door woke him up. It was just a bit annoying before, but now it's more like a death bell!

Fang Nuo turned on the faucet, washed his face, and regained consciousness.

He looked out the window again. The group of blue-white humanoid creatures in the open space of the community looked so familiar. Each one seemed to be a resident he had seen in the community. One of them, with a bunch of keys on his waist, was not the landlord.

Who could it be!

"It looks like I won't have to pay rent anymore..."

Fang Nuo's first thought was this matter.

Then he roughly understood what was happening - zombies! The end of the world!

He quickly turned on the TV and found that all stations were broadcasting an emergency news:

"Urgent! An unknown virus called SD has broken out across the world! All densely populated cities have been completely destroyed in a short period of time! Please residents, please try your best before the water is cut off...ahhhhhhhh"

Before he finished speaking, the sweet host was knocked down by a bluish-white figure outside the screen.

With a burst of painful wails and a spine-chilling chewing sound, the emergency news started playing again from the beginning.

Fang Nuo watched half of it for the second time, and finally reacted. He rushed into the kitchen and bathroom, took out all the buckets in the house to collect water, and then ran to the computer and started browsing the forum, but at this time, the network was already very unstable, loading pictures

It will take a long time, just like returning to 2G from the 5G era.

But from the horrified descriptions of netizens, Fang Nuo has confirmed the situation he is facing now:

Global fall, zombie apocalypse!

No one knows how the SD virus broke out. Overnight, no one around the world was spared, and 90% of people turned into blue-white zombies at some point!

Countless people have had their necks bitten off by people around them in their sleep, and an estimated nine percent of them have died. Today, there are eight billion people in the world, and less than 100 million are still alive!

And this number is still declining sharply!

"Food! Water! Fuel! Warming supplies! Safe base!"

A few keywords flashed through Fang Nuo's mind, and he immediately downloaded information from the Internet, including maps of the city, various wilderness survival knowledge, fuel power generation techniques...

“Blank!”

At 6:32, the Internet was disconnected.

Fang Nuo transferred various data to the USB flash drive. He did not have a printer at home. If he really wanted to take out these data before the power was completely cut off, he would have to rely on a printer.

"Or you might be able to gain something by going to the city library."

But he immediately thought of the most critical issue at the moment - the zombies still "knocking" at the door!

That obviously couldn't be the neighbor who kindly asked him to get up and run for his life.

Fang Nuo squeezed the steel pipe in his hand, his eyes wandering around the room.

There was some sweat on his forehead, his heart was beating wildly, and a feeling that he had never experienced in peaceful times was boiling in his heart.

“We still don’t know how the zombie virus spreads, but we must not be injured!”

He took out all the sweaters and coats in the closet, covering himself as tightly as possible without affecting his movement with three layers inside and three layers outside. He also tied a few thick leather books inside the clothes.

Finally, his eyes fell on a fully enclosed black and silver motorcycle helmet, with a pair of black motorcycle gloves underneath.

There was already some dust on it. I originally bought it for riding a motorcycle, but I didn’t have any spare money, so I just bought a small eDonkey and then nothing more happened. This handsome helmet was covered in dust.

Fang Nuo checked his wrists, ankles and neck again, and after confirming that no skin was exposed, he added another layer of gloves to his hands.

Holding the steel pipe tightly and swinging it carefully twice in the narrow room, Fang Nuo felt a little more confident.

"Open the door, the zombie jumped forward, put a steel pipe on his chest, and pushed him over. My room was very close to the stairwell, so I pushed him down and threw him with the debris in the stairwell. I remember there was an abandoned washing machine there.

They hit him on the head with a steel pipe until his forehead was broken into pieces. If he didn't move, he would go back to his room. If he still moved, he would chop off his limbs with a kitchen knife..."

Fang Nuo has rehearsed the process twice in his mind. He is just an ordinary citizen. In his mind, this is already the best outcome. There may be accidents in the process. At that time, he can only adapt to the situation. If things change, he will just retreat to the room.<

/p>

He took a deep breath and approached the door. The sunlight filtered through the kitchen and bathroom balcony, passed through the small living room, and shone directly on the wooden door. His shadow slowly grew larger on the door...

Wait, Fang Nuo suddenly thought of the scene of those green and white zombies looking up at the sun, and an idea came to his mind. Can he hide behind the door, let the zombies in, and then sneak attack from behind while the zombies are attracted by the sunlight?

This method is a bet on the attraction of sunlight to zombies!

Fang Nuo thought for a moment, then came to the window sill and looked at the green and white zombies in the community, still staring blankly at the sun, their bodies swaying slightly like seaweed.

"Bang!"

Fang Nuo threw a potted plant hard!

He held the window sill and stared closely at the movements of the zombies——

Only the zombies that were very close seemed to hear something and turned to look at the potted plant, but they only glanced at it, then ignored it and looked at the sun again.

"That's outrageous! Aren't we saying that zombies are photophobic and have sensitive hearing? Why are these zombies the exact opposite!"

Two conclusions can be drawn from Fang Nuo's observations. One is that the sun's attraction to zombies is completely beyond imagination, and the other is that these zombies do not seem to have very good hearing, and instead use their eyesight to capture movement!

Unexpectedly, Fang Nuo threw a few more potted plants to confirm - the result was still the same. Zombies react very slowly to sounds, and often only zombies that are very close will take a look.

"I have hearing, but it's not sensitive."

The plan in his mind was a little more certain. Fang Nuo came to the door and felt that his palms were sweaty. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or boredom.

"Come on!"
