“Will the couple come back in time?” Guo Bing held the last cigarette in his mouth, stepped on the wall in front of him with one leg, and looked out at the empty ruins.

“Who knows? Didn’t they bring gifts when they came back last time?” Chen Ning loosened his collar and said indifferently.

“Hey… who made this a mass wedding?”

Yes, a mass wedding.

Since Yan Xin announced he was getting married, and the object of his marriage is a certain man with flashy glasses… Well, Yin Dong has a lot of nicknames, who made him offend so many people?

After the shock from the announcement, everyone expressed that they also wanted to get married.

There have been quite a few new couples formed during the past few years, but because everyone has been hovering on the edge of life and death, no one ever thought about getting married or holding a wedding. People these days have become more realistic. When two people are together, they will be together. At most, they will tell their friends. Because of the imbalance between men and women in the post-apocalyptic world, the vast majority of people who are clamoring for weddings this time are male couples.

Among the people Guo Bing is acquainted with, only Chen Ning, this scum, actually caught a woman during the three years and got a girlfriend!!!

This is something that this uncle can’t bear. Although the little girl looks ordinary, she is a kind-hearted girl. During the 3-year defensive battle, she was a member of the logistics team with water abilities. Don’t know how she was hooked up by Chen Ning, this sinner.1Treat this paragraph as Guo Bing’s internal monologue

What makes people feel more wasteful is that another pair wanting to get married were actually two girls… yes, two lilies2re: yuri. If Guo Bing didn’t really know them, he would definitely run over to persuade them not to be so wasteful, and consider heterosexuality for the future of mankind.

As his brain hole was running wild, Chen Ning suddenly patted him. “Look, isn’t that their car?”

The familiar Cavalier 15 drove towards the gate, making everyone who knew them show a smile. After the two came in, the head of logistics took the lead in pushing aside the crowd and rushing forward. “What did you get this time? The base has some big crystal cores. Come, come, come back with me to change things…”

He Zizhong was taken away by the head of logistics who still had some serious psychological trauma, and Fang Hao greeted Zhang Xiaoming and the others with a smile. “This mass wedding, we will stay for a while before going out.”

The fog in the space gradually thickened. After they woke up before, they discovered Tuanzi, this good buddy, achieved good results, causing the space to progress fairly quickly. Using Tuanzi, who can travel at the speed of an airplane now, they went to hunt some hidden away zombies to dig out crystal nuclei. After the fog concentration in the space reached a certain degree, they returned to the base.

When the space went from level 4 to 5, it took more than 20 days. This time, it took a whole month to reach level 6.

The collective wedding at the base was completely prepared. Because more and more people wanted to join in, many people took this opportunity to find a passable partner to prepare for the second half of their lives.

The mass wedding was huge and lively.

At this wedding, everyone saw a lot of familiar faces. For example, Yan Xin saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was Song Xianghong’s wife, the woman he used to call ‘aunt’. Even in her 50’s, she still had her own charm. Rumor was, after the Song family father and daughter vanished, she first lived alone in the villa, but after being unable to support herself, she finally found a man to live with, after changing several boyfriends, the youngest which was 16 or 17.

As for Song Xianghong and Song Qiaoqiao… the two of them have completely disappeared from this base.

Fang Hao and He Zizhong didn’t join in the fun. The two of them had no interest in this so-called ceremony or wedding. As long as they have the ring they put on each other’s hands, as long as the two of them are still together, their home is complete… of course, with the addition of Tuanzi.

On the contrary, all married couples were given a marriage certificate during the wedding. Obtaining it marriage certificate was much simpler than before the end of the world. Just sign a paper, take a photo, and stamp it with the official seal. The two took the opportunity to queue up to receive one, as it was a reasonable, legal proof of them being together.

Someone took out firecrackers from somewhere, and the long-lost sound of crackling sounded in the base. Wine, which was stored in some people’s space, was taken out, diluted with water, and shared amongst people. The lively wedding became a carnival…

Deep in the urban area of A city, there are a large number of zombies entrenched in the maze-like underground subway. The passage used for convenient transportation in the past was now occupied by these creatures who were afraid of the sun. They hide in the dark and sneak out at night, relying on information carried through the wind to hunt.

Some low-level zombies have gradually decayed and withered away because they haven’t eaten for a long time. The crystal cores in their heads were eaten by their same kind to maintain their lives, and even improve their strength.

A small figure is sitting in an empty hall, where the passageway above has collapsed. There is only a small passage to go up. These days, the one with the best physique is this little zombie. All zombies in the hall obey its commands and belong to it.

Each time it opens its mouth, an angry noise reverberates in the passageways. Since its birth, it has never encountered such a predicament – being stuck in the empty ruins, unable to go out, and unable to recklessly hunt for food.

The nasty thing in the sky will melt its body.

It is the king of zombies. It has the absolute right to make all zombies obey. Its birth is different from all zombies. It was born in the womb of the mother of zombies, from the combination of sperm and eggs collected from a human woman by those people. The eggs were implanted in the abdomen of a female zombie and nurtured. Those people might be trying for a different outcome, and accidentally created the zombie king.

But although it has the absolute right to order all zombies, and is extremely fast and powerful, it is very fragile. It’s still a baby, before it grows up, it needs the protection of other zombies.

At this time, the hall is densely surrounded by zombies of various colors as if standing guard. They are all protecting their king from any harm. Because of the king’s command, they found a new way of survival in this sun-lit world. They have successfully attacked human villages several times in the dark, and hunted down some human beings who dared wander nearby. They are loyal to the king and will protect it closely – only it can let them live in this world and live for a long time!

Kara, kara… The sound of rolling gravel echoed, the noise magnifying through the empty space.

The little zombie turned its head and looked at the entranceway.

Suddenly! Vines shot into the sky, sprouting from all directions! Rushing towards the densely packed middle!

No matter how fast one is, no one can avoid this endless net. No matter how sharp one’s teeth is, they can’t bite off these damn unending vines! Several twigs slammed into the small body, causing the small zombie to scream piercingly.

Above and below, all the zombies shook, and started to dig holes randomly and frantically to open the passage to the space. But when they finally opened the passage, they were stunned to find that the hall was empty, and there was nothing left…

 

And that’s a wrap folks! Thanks for reading and accompanying me, HZZ, FH, and Tuanzi on this long journey!
