My Cherry Will Explode in the Apocalypse

Chapter 37 – Red Rain

“No, we’re leaving.” Zhang Yun had no intention of staying here. It would be dawn soon, and if they delayed any further, they would inevitably waste another day here. It would be better to go back to the villa and stay safe. What’s more, there were people here that Su Ruizhe didn't want to see.

“Ah?” Zhang Maorong did not expect that Zhan Yun would want to leave so soon, so he anxiously opened his mouth to try to convince them to stay. “It’s too dangerous to leave while there are so many zombies outside. Although you have strong abilities, your group is small and has women and children, so it would be safer to stay here.”

Zhan Yun guessed that Zhang Maorong had read many martial arts s. He had the courage of a man, but very little power. He was stronger than ordinary people, so he felt that he could go beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth.

However, he did build a small safety zone, hosted a group of survivors, and was willing to rush ahead when danger arose. Zhan Yun did not have any negative feelings towards this person, so he reminded him, “We still have things to deal with.”

Zhan Yun came up to him and whispered, “You can’t rely on an iron door alone. You have to find ways to reinforce it. Besides, abilities are not omnipotent. Other people also need to fight. You can protect them for a while, but you can’t protect them for a lifetime.”

After that, Zhan Yun motioned for everyone to get into the car.

Su Ruizhe was about to step into the car when someone suddenly shouted at him.

“Wait a minute! Xiao Zhe! ” The only person who could shout Su Ruizhe’s name here without thinking about it was obviously Chen Huizhen.

Su Ruizhe sneered in his heart and turned to Chen Huizhen.

Chen Huizhen swallowed and noticed Su Ruizhe’s cold eyes, but she quickly calmed down. How could this child change while she had her eyes on him? She knew his character very well: simple, introverted, and soft hearted. By the way he was dressed and his complexion, it was clear that his days were not bitter. She did not know what kind of dog shit luck he had, unexpectedly embracing such a thick thigh… These people could even take women and children with them, so it wouldn't be difficult to take them as well, right?

“Xiao Zhe, I’m your aunt! Where have you been these days? Eldest Aunt is really worried to death.”

“Oh, worried?”

“Yeah, yeah… You suddenly disappeared. You have no idea how worried aunt was. I went to the police station to look for you!”

Haha… You went to the police station to frame me, didn’t you? She was shameless enough.

Once again, this woman’s ability to reverse right and wrong was still so powerful.

“Oh, I heard about that. It was to demand that the police arrest me, and then force me to give you 300,000 yuan, right?” Su Ruizhe said sarcastically.

Chen Huizhen’s expression suddenly froze. She hadn't expected Su Ruizhe to know that…

“That was a misunderstanding…”

Su Ruizhe couldn't listen to her nonsense anymore and closed the door.

The door slam was like the slap of an invisible palm on Chen Huizhen’s face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and looked very bitter.

Then Zhan Yun started the car, and the young people opened the iron door for them. They watched carefully as they left the factory.

The car was halfway down the road when they heard an approaching thunderstorm.

“Huh? Thunder? Is it going to rain?” Zheng Jiahe looked surprised.

Recently, it was more than 40 degrees in temperature everyday, and even in the evening it was nearly 30 degrees. There was never a drop of rain, and the trees and plants withered. Such days were really too hard to bear; if a heavy rain could bring a cool reprieve to this hot weather, it would be great.

Boom!

The sound of thunder grew louder and louder. At the same time, a strong wind picked up.

“Haha, it looks like it’s really going to rain.” Song Chengshu opened the window to let the cool wind blow in.

“Don’t open the window!” Su Ruizhe and Zhan Yun shouted at the same time.

Only then did he notice the anxiety on their faces and no longer dared to move.

It was also their bad luck that they had just left the industrial area and turned back onto the road. Soon after, they began to see lightning.

The nearest building was a district hospital.

He knew that there would be a lot of zombies in the hospital, but they had no other way around. Zhan Yun clenched his teeth, hit the steering wheel, and rushed through the hospital's gate.

They came face-to-face with a myriad of zombies moving their mouth and claws. Zhan Yun drove past them, crushing them violently. At last, when the heavy rain began to fall, they rushed into a two-storey building. The reason for choosing this building was simple: if there were only two floors, there would be fewer zombies.

The car crashed directly into the wall of the building, leaving a huge hole. The heavy impact caused the airbags to pop out, and the whole car was damaged.

After the airbags deflated, everyone got off the car one at a time; it was too late to ask why Zhan Yun had crashed into the building.

Everyone was shocked by what happened next.

Red raindrops pummeled from the sky, looking like drops of blood. The zombies rushed over from the building and ran directly into the rain. The zombies who came after them from outside also stopped, and they roared up to the sky in unison. When the red rain fell on them, it was absorbed into their skin.

More and more zombies were gathering in the street. The zombies in the back hospital building crashed through the windows and tumbled down. The zombies lay broken on the ground, but still howled at the sky.

This red rain was like a blood carnival for the zombies…

Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe knew now that the apocalypse had truly begun.

“A’ Liang, seal the hole, Xiao Zhe, put the car away and everyone else, go upstairs!”

After a quick glance at the guide on the wall, Zhan Yun knew that they were lucky to enter the emergency department of the hospital. This hospital was only a tertiary hospital, and it was relatively small. In order to facilitate management, the outpatient department and the inpatient department were in the back of the hospital, while the emergency department was separate, so there were only two floors. The first floor was the emergency hall and the clinic room, and the second floor was the operating room.

Zhang Shuoliang immediately sealed the big hole in the wall with his earth ability and strengthened them layer by layer. Su Ruizhe put the car away and ran up to the second floor with everyone else.

The dark corridors, permeated with the stench of blood, were littered with broken limbs; you could clearly see the tragic situation when the outbreak happened. Almost all of the zombies in the building had already run out, leaving behind those with weak hands and feet, lying on the ground and roaring. They were all cleaned up quickly.

Finally, they found a doctor’s lounge in the corner, which was clean enough for them to rest in for a while.

“A’ Zhan, what was that all about?” Song Chengshu looked through the window at the red rain outside and the bizarre zombies.

Zhan Yun sighed. They stayed in S City for nearly ten days, but never set off for A City. This was because of the red rain.

The concentration of the zombie virus in this red rain was very high. Almost everyone caught in the heavy rain would become a zombie, even the ability users. Fortunately, the color of the rain was so strange that normal people would hide far away, so there wouldn't be many humans who became zombies because of the rain.

After being caught in the rain, some changes would take place in the body. The original zombie was only a walking corpse, but essentially remained almost the same as a human being. But after this red rain, they would be upgraded: the bones would become harder and the strength and speed would increase accordingly. So, it would be very difficult to deal with them. At the same time, the bodies of these zombies would develop nuclei, and people would gradually discover the existence and role of nuclei.

At the beginning of his previous life, Su Ruizhe was frightened and anxious. He could hardly remember the exact date of the rainstorm, only a general timeframe. Shortly after the rainstorm, the government rescue team arrived.

Now that the world was so chaotic, the railway station and airport must have become the hell of Xiuluo. If you wanted to leave the province or go to other cities, you had only one way, and that was to drive.

Normally it took only 8 hours by driving at high speeds to get from S City to A City, but when the end of the world came suddenly, there were zombies on the highway and many car accidents occured. They could not drive on the highway anymore. If you wanted to make a detour, you wouldn't know how many zombies and obstacles you would encounter, let alone the unusually high temperature during the day.

So after discussing with Su Ruizhe, Zhan Yun decided to wait until the rainstorm passed and the government rescue team arrived. Traffic and communications were all paralyzed, and the disaster area had spread nationwide. The government could not respond as quickly and conveniently as they did before the end of the world; they had to establish a secure base and make preparations for taking in survivors. The military’s rescue mission would be extremely arduous.

Fortunately, the soldiers were more fit than the average person. On the day of the eruption of the zombie virus, fewer than 20% of the army transformed into zombies.

Now that the red rain had come, the government’s rescue forces would arrive soon.

Still, in the future, traveling and surviving would become much more difficult.

The author has something to say:

[A small wooden theatre]

Zhang Ge: Look at me! Hey hey hey! (Zombie players suffer a lot of non-lethal damage)

Zheng Jiahe: Cut, look at me! (The number of zombie players has dropped dramatically)

Zhang Ge [?! This kid is so fierce that he can’t underestimate them. (Being dragged away and bitten): Ouch.

After Zhan Yun rescued him

Song Chengshu: Why is wifey such a big man? I want my lovely wifey!

Zhan Yun: Mary Sue at the bottom of the food chain has no right to change patients, let alone your wifey is not injured!

Zheng Jiahe (gripping the club): You want me to get hurt?!

Song Chengshu: Wifey, I was wrong, I'll treated you QwQ.

[Small theatre on the street]

Zhang Ge: Brother, please help me steer the battle.

Zhang Xiaoyun: Zheng Jiahe, you talk a lot, you go up.

Zheng Jiahe: Huh? Okay, come on, the zombies stick their heads out for this Lord to hit.

Zhang Ge: You're just like a weak chicken, can you kill a zombie? WOW! Why is he so fierce? I… Ah! Help!

Zheng Jiahe: So far away, lazy to run, do you want to give up treatment?

Zhan xiaoyun: biubiu ~~~

Zhang Ge: Thank you! Hey! Why do you shoot me too? Heroes spare my life!

Zhan Xiaoyun: Oh, wrong hand. (Let me help you die. Why do you take off your clothes? Who do you want to play with? Are you a hooligan or pervert? How dare you look like that? I'll get rid of you and save Xiaozhe’s eyes, humph!)

Zhang Ge: Wrong hand? Do you think I believe that? →_→
