Chapter 21: Shi Family Village

  Tang Tian ignored the beautiful policewoman Zhang Yu who was sulking on one side and began to seriously consider his next move.

  After having a basic understanding of the current state of this world, Tang Tian really didn't know what to do.

  Firstly, the school has been almost completely occupied by Zhang Hao and others, leaving no room for self-development. Secondly, Tianshui City can no longer be visited, as it has become a paradise for monsters, and with my current strength, going there would be no different from seeking death.

  Then his own future will be very uncertain.

  In this world that has been transformed beyond recognition by the so-called Demon God, the original cities have become a paradise for zombies. The military has lost its firepower and is fundamentally unable to recapture densely populated cities.

  But the wilderness is a paradise for mutant beasts, more dangerous than cities!

  Thinking of this, Tang Tian became even more anxious and flustered, as if the wilderness world had no room for him to survive.

  "Never mind, let's take it one step at a time. First, slowly build up our own strength, and then think of ways to deal with it." Helpless, Tang Tian had no choice but to adopt this approach.

  But this is definitely not feasible, because as time passes, the monsters are also evolving, and their own survival will become more and more difficult, which makes Tang Tian's heart even more urgent.

  Zhang Yu looked at Tang Tian's furrowed brow, as if he had encountered some annoying things, and temporarily forgot about Tang Tian's indifference to himself, opening his mouth to ask: "Is there anything I can help with?"

  Tang Tian was already annoyed, and Zhang Yu's sudden outburst made him want to shout at her. But then he remembered that as a police officer, she must be familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he asked: "You've seen it too, right? The whole world has gone crazy, almost everyone has become a zombie, and maybe you haven't encountered even more terrifying mutated beasts yet. Those are the truly frightening things. And the city is no longer safe, I'm thinking of where to go to be relatively safer. Do you have any good suggestions?"

  Zhang Yu was already used to Tang Tian's indifference and thought that her casual words wouldn't catch his attention, but she didn't expect that her hopeless remark would get a response from him, which left her stunned for a moment. However, she soon realized that what Tang Tian said was also true, so after some serious thinking, she said: "The current world is no longer suitable for human survival. Humans who have lost guns, ammunition, and various technologies have already become the lowest level in this world. I..."

  Tang Tian didn't have the mood to listen to her lengthy speech, as he already knew all these things. He immediately interrupted, "Enough, I know all this. What I'm asking is, do you know if there's a relatively safe place around here that can temporarily serve as a refuge?"

  When Tang Tian interrupted her, Zhang Yu looked very wronged. Originally, as a beautiful policewoman from a good family background, wherever she went, everyone would give way to her. But suddenly the whole world had changed, and as a girl, she was already sad enough to be frightened and intimidated. Tang Tian's behavior made her feel not only wronged but also helpless.

  However, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She had no ability to survive in this world and her future survival depended on the mood of the person in front of her. Suppressing her emotions, Zhang Yu said: "According to the current situation in this world, the only place that seems relatively safe around here is Shijia Village, more than ten miles away from us."

  "What's 'Shi Jia Village'?" Tang Tian asked, seemingly puzzled.

  "Yes, it's Shijiazhuang Village. The village isn't big, only a few dozen households. I've been there once before when I was on a mission, so I know the situation there a bit. Because of its small size, the number of zombies that appeared after the world changed is relatively fewer, making it a safer place."

  After a pause, Zhang Yu saw that Tang Tian was listening to him seriously, so he continued: "This is just one aspect, the most important thing is that the people in this village make a living by collecting stone minerals, and almost no one raises domestic fowl. Moreover, there are only stone mines around, and the existence of wild animals is relatively rare. According to what you said, it means that the mutated beasts are relatively fewer, so I think if we want to find a relatively safe place, then this nearby Shijia Village is the most suitable."

  After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Tang Tian's eyes lit up instantly. As she said, if you want to find a relatively safe place now, then it is indeed Stone Village that is the most suitable.

  He seriously looked at Zhang Yu twice, secretly thinking that this little female police officer was not only beautiful but also quite capable. However, he immediately changed his mind and asked: "Have you ever killed anyone? Or should I say, have you ever killed a zombie?"

  Tang Tian thought that in order to go to Shi Jia Village, he would need the female police officer to lead the way. However, along the way, there were numerous crises, and it was necessary to confirm the other party's combat strength, as well as his own plans.

  Perhaps thinking of something, Zhang Yu heard Tang Tian's words and subconsciously turned pale, becoming evasive, saying: "I've never killed anyone, I haven't been a cop for long, and I don't have the guts to fight those monsters, I... I..."

  In the end, Zhang Yu couldn't say anything more because she found that she really couldn't help Tang Tian with anything and was completely a burden. She feared that Tang Tian would abandon her like this, so she looked at him weakly with both eyes...

  When she heard her words, Tang Tian furrowed his brow unconsciously and thought to himself that bringing her along was a big trouble. However, without her, he wouldn't be able to find the Shi Jia Village, so he had no choice but to bring her along. He muttered to himself about the trouble and then asked aloud: "What else can you do?"

  "I'll pretend to be obedient, I'll act spoiled, I'll show off my cuteness," Zhang Yu said to herself in her heart, because she found that she really couldn't do anything, so she didn't speak up and just looked at Tang Tian helplessly.

  Seeing her appearance, Tang Tian's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and he asked in a tentative tone: "Can you cook?"

  Tang Tian thought that even if he couldn't fight, it would be nice to have someone help him cook his meals. After all, having to cook for himself every day was a real hassle.

  But looking at Zhang Yu shaking that pretty little head, Tang Tian's heart was filled with a mournful howl. Nowadays, girls are all like this, if someone were to bring them back home, would they be the master or the wife?! However, considering that before the world changed, these pretty girls were indeed the masters, he felt relieved.

  Tang Tian didn't bother asking anymore, he had already given up on the idea of doing laundry, cooking and taking care of household chores. He said "Let's go, we're going to that Shi Jia Village, you follow behind me, if there's any danger don't expect me to protect you. Also, along the way I'll think of a way to get you to kill some zombies, to raise your level, otherwise looking at your state, even running would be a challenge", shaking his head, Tang Tian led the way down from the bus.

  He also wanted to drive the car on the road for a while, but that damn devil had modified it and all the electronic devices were out of order, so the car couldn't be used either. Tang Tian thought, maybe the bicycle is still useful now!

  Zhang Yu had already prepared herself to be abandoned by Tang Tian, but after hearing his words, it seemed like he was going to take her with him, and suddenly she felt a surge of joy, almost shouting out loud. She also knew that in this chaotic world, she wouldn't be able to do anything and would only become a burden.

  However, she still controlled her emotions well, quietly following behind Tang Tian, looking at the majestic figure in front of her, and feeling that it wasn't so annoying after all.

  Tang Tian also wanted to get rid of her, but he couldn't. He himself had no idea where that Shijiayuan Village was and still needed her to lead the way...

  It's not that Tang Tian is cold-blooded, if it were in peaceful times he would be happy to help a pretty girl, but now the world has changed, one more person means one more trouble and danger, being able to help his own team is fine, but someone who can't do anything will only become a burden to himself...

  Tang Tian didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to bring her along...
