Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 171p3

Chapter 171: The North Unfrozen p3

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Jiang Chun didn’t know where to drive for a moment.

Confusion filled her heart.

Her left hand began to tremble again.

She rummaged through her memory, and from the broken soft film layer of the car roof above the driver’s seat, she found a pack of Chinese cigarettes and a lighter.

She had seen the driver of the dump truck, and he hid the cigarettes here. Her photographic memory allowed her to remember almost everything.

This ability also allowed her to recall the people who once stood beside these things whenever she saw any familiar objects.

Vividly.

Tearing open the package, the words the driver said to the people in the same car when he hid the cigarettes seemed to echo in her mind.

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely hand them out during the Chinese New Year! Don’t steal from me…”

It was all vivid in her mind.

The good news was that the buddies in the same car didn’t steal the cigarettes. The bad news was that they didn’t live to see the Chinese New Year and smoke this pack of good cigarettes.

Resisting the memories that kept surfacing in her mind, Jiang Chun took out a cigarette with her left hand and put it in her mouth.

“Click—”

With a spark, the lighter lit the flame, and after burning for a long time, it finally lit the cigarette.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chun coughed violently.

She still didn’t know why they liked smoking so much, both before and after the apocalypse.

Jiang Chun, with a cigarette in her mouth, did not drive towards the highway, but drove in Donghai City, where the tide was gradually receding.

The huge tires ran over the horsehair worms all over the ground, and the ground was almost everywhere shining with the light of broken crystals, but Jiang Chun didn’t seem to see it, just driving the dump truck along the road she was most familiar with.

This was a park. Whenever Jiang Chun had something she couldn’t solve, she would stay at the highest point of the park and calmly look at this huge city.

Unlike before, Jiang Chun drove here this time.

After parking by the guardrail, Jiang Chun turned on the radio and turned the volume to the maximum.

The car’s radio was still tuned to the Voodoo Cult radio station, because when this radio station had nothing to announce, it would play some classic music from before the apocalypse.

She held the cigarette and lighter in her left hand, jumped out of the car, and when she staggered to the huge fuel tank of the dump truck, she slowly sat down and leaned against the fuel tank.

“I’m here…”

“Right here…”

“As fleeting as a shooting star…”

“As brilliant as a summer flower…”

The music from the car reached Jiang Chun’s ears.

As fleeting as a shooting star, as brilliant as a summer flower…

Wasn’t hope like this? Always approaching when you needed it most, and then quietly leaving when you were about to grasp it.

She leaned against the fuel tank, with a cigarette in her mouth, lit it with the lighter, and the lighter slipped from her hand.

She reached out, without looking back, and numbly unscrewed the fuel tank cap behind her. The strong smell of gasoline rushed into her nostrils.

“I am this dazzling moment, the fleeting flame across the sky…”

She opened the fuel tank cap, raised her left hand with the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then took the cigarette away from her mouth.

Jiang Chun held the cigarette between her fingers and hummed softly: “It was worth it… it was worth it…”

Worth it?

It was full of regrets.

This song seemed to be mocking her failed life and incompetent leadership. She was appointed in a critical moment, but she killed everyone in Donghai City.

“Buzz—”

Suddenly, the music that had been playing stopped, and the car stereo began to make noisy static.

Soon, a childish voice came from the radio. She recognized this voice, it was the little girl named Huayibai, from Kun City.

“Hello, this is Huayibai, Sister Jiang Chun, can you hear me?”

These words made Jiang Chun stop.

“Buzz… hello, can you hear me? Hello?”

“Buzz… Sister Jiang Chun, um… that… did you get back safely? Um… oh…”

“My mommy killed the B-rank zombie on Shenfeng Mountain yesterday, Mommy asked me to synchronize the information with you.”

“Buzz… also, Mommy said not to go to Guangnan Province recently, it’s best to stay away from the seaside. Sister Jiang Chun, are you by the sea? Do you have any new information…”

“Sister Xi said that the passage will be established soon, and then Sister Xi will come to play with you… Oh, there’s no need to convey Sister Xi’s words, I know… Um, Mommy said…”

Jiang Chun didn’t know when the cigarette in her hand had fallen, burning a hole through her pants without her noticing.

And her eyes were already blurred, and she couldn’t hear any other sounds.

“Sob…”
“Ah… sob… ahhhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!”

From sobbing at the beginning to hysteria at the end, Jiang Chun’s heart was breaking down step by step.

She had endured all the things that had happened just now silently, without even shedding a single tear.

But after hearing Huayibai’s childish voice and the beautiful vision she conveyed, Jiang Chun’s hardened heart completely collapsed at this moment.

She cried and wailed wantonly, banging her head on the ground like kowtowing to the city in front of her again and again, until her face was covered in blood.

In a daze, she seemed to vaguely hear the call from the car stereo again.

“Sister Jiang Chun…”

“Shut up!!!”

Jiang Chun, who was almost insane, suddenly stood up, jumped into the driver’s seat, and slammed her left fist towards the radio.

She smashed it several times in a fit of rage, until she couldn’t hear any sound at all. Then Jiang Chun seemed to collapse, her head resting on the steering wheel, sobbing silently.

The wound on her right hand opened again due to the strenuous exercise, and blood flowed profusely, taking away her remaining body temperature every minute and every second.

In the dead silence, only the roar of the engine echoed here.

Suddenly, Jiang Chun raised her head nervously and looked in the direction of the deformed radio that she had smashed.

She moved her body and leaned towards the radio with difficulty, reaching out and randomly pressing the buttons on it.

“Speak… speak… don’t leave me alone here… please… respond to me again…”

“I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have hit you… please don’t leave me alone…”

“Don’t leave me alone…”

A huge wave of fatigue surged towards Jiang Chun. Extremely exhausted and having lost too much blood, she tilted and fell towards the passenger seat, falling into a coma.

She didn’t know how long it had been, maybe an hour, maybe two hours, or maybe 24 hours, before Jiang Chun was slowly awakened by the noisy static.

“Buzz…”
“Buzz…”
“Really… buzz…”
“Cen… buzz…”

Jiang Chun weakly raised her left hand and gently tapped the radio in front of her. After being tapped, the distorted and deformed radio actually became clearer.

“Buzz…”
“It really works now, bro… I told you that the electromagnetic field would recover after killing those electric snakes…”
“Buzz… then the people in the central region can also hear our radio station now? The south and west still can’t hear it, right?”
“That’s for sure…”
“Damn it, you didn’t say it earlier…”
“Buzz… Hello, friends in the central region…”
“We are… buzz… Jingdong Joint Camp… ah, it’s Jingzhou City and the entire Northeast Joint, not the e-commerce platform that has discounts on 618…”
“I’m not saying that your BYD is so damn punchable, why don’t you call it Tokyo? I’ll kick you into the sea and let you swim to Tokyo yourself…”

The two people on the radio started arguing as they spoke.

Listening to this radio station, Jiang Chun’s originally dead-like expression, her brows slowly furrowed.

Jingdong Joint Camp?

What was that?

Suddenly, the two people on the radio seemed to see someone, and they both shouted “Hello, Chief”. After a while, a slightly deep male voice came from the radio.

“Sorry, those two were just here to help with the radio station temporarily. We just got in touch with the radio station and are not very familiar with it yet.”

“Let me introduce ourselves again. We are the East Beijing Joint Camp. We just eliminated the electromagnetic interference caused by the zombies in the Yellow River Basin and solved the communication problem that has troubled us for four years…”

“We are the joint body of all camps in the Northeast, headquartered in Jingzhou City. We also welcome brothers and sisters, fathers and elders from anywhere who are in trouble to come and join us…”

“But we are now facing a difficult problem… Although the three northeastern provinces are major grain-producing provinces with a lot of cultivated land, after that blood crystal rain, our farmland is also the most seriously polluted, and we can hardly find any uninfected seeds that can be planted…”

“After eating mutated food for many years, some uninfected ordinary people have also turned into zombies.”

“If you and your camp can hear this message, we ask for your support with food…”

“We are willing to pay five Blood Crystals per kilogram of various uninfected crop seeds. If it is inconvenient for you to come, we can send a team directly to escort them…”

“When the third round of planting begins, we can regularly return a portion of the uninfected food to you as a thank you gift. On behalf of the 40,000 people in the entire camp, I thank you.”

“I repeat, hello, friends in the south, we are…”

The north… so it wasn’t a dead zone?

Survivor’s Light had also tried to explore north, but they were basically forced back by terrifying B-rank zombies not long after crossing the Yangtze River.

The north was sparsely populated, but there were actually more B-ranks than in the central and southern regions… and there were countless mutated plants, which were hard to guard against.

Therefore, Survivor’s Light later adjusted their strategy, exploring the central and southern regions first, and only contacting the north by radio.

But there had never been any news from the north, so the people of Survivor’s Light almost assumed that the north was beyond saving.

To Jiang Chun’s surprise, it turned out that the communication interruption was caused by the electromagnetic interference from the zombies in the Yellow River Basin, and now, for food, they had desperately eliminated those B-rank zombies that blocked the outside world.

Finally, today, they sent out a request for help due to food shortages to the outside world.

Forty thousand people… four times the number of Survivor’s Light…

Jiang Chun lay in the car like a corpse, her pupils reflecting the faint light of the radio.

Suddenly, she turned over and got up, took a military shovel from the passenger seat, walked to an open area, and began to dig.

She didn’t know how long it took, but she dug a large pit that could hold the entire truck bed. Then she climbed back into the car and carried the corpses down from the car one by one, placing them neatly in the pit.

After doing all this, only the large bag of seeds wrapped in waterproof cloth was left in the car.

And a few barrels of spare metal gasoline.

She took all the gasoline barrels out of the car, leaving one barrel, and poured all the other gasoline into the fuel tank, then tightened the fuel tank cap.

She poured the remaining barrel of metal gasoline into the huge pit in circles. Finally, Jiang Chun stood by the huge pit and lit three cigarettes.

“Sorry… after I finish this trip, I’ll come back to accompany you.”

“The seeds bought with your blood… are not suitable for burial, but more suitable for planting…”

At this moment, she didn’t consider the difficulties of going north, nor did she consider the B-rank zombies on the road. All she could think of was—

This was her life, this was Survivor’s Light, the last time it could shine.

She hoped that they could see this light in heaven.

Jiang Chun’s eyes were gradually covered by a hazy mist. After bowing deeply to the pit, she threw the three cigarettes in her hand into the pit.

This city, shrouded in dark clouds, once again lit up with a faint flame for the last time.
