The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 67 Meteor Shower

The female zombie with the bow and arrow used the eaves of Gu Nanfeng's villa as a viewing platform, sitting there until the crying from the townhouses stopped.

The massacre lasted only half an hour. The zombie horde emerged from the townhouses and slowly moved toward Gu Nanfeng's villa.

It wasn't until Lu Yuan could see with his naked eye that a female zombie's right leg was still dripping blood that they finally believed Zhong Qiang's intuition: the piece of fresh flesh used to attract the zombies was cut from this woman's body.

Hundreds of zombies gathered at the entrance of their villa. The female zombie with the bow and arrow slung her bow and arrows over her shoulder, glanced back at the curtains on the third floor, jumped off the villa, and led a group of zombies away towards the university dormitory area. The remaining animals also scattered.

"I took a look, and I haven't found any animals that have obviously turned into zombies yet." Under these circumstances, Gu Nanfeng calmly took Pei Sihao's binoculars to observe the animals downstairs, his mentality was simply explosive.

The rest of them were so frightened by the female zombie's glance that their legs went weak. Even Lu Yuan, who had made eye contact with zombies several times before, couldn't take it anymore.

When the female zombie with the bow and arrow left, she also took two or three zombies that were wandering around the villa with her. Moreover, after observing for two or three days, there was nothing unusual about the villa area, so they finally relaxed a bit.

They've been putting more and more things on the third-floor balcony. Now they've even brought a TV and put it there, so one person can keep watch while the others who don't sleep play online games together.

Pei Sihao forgot to call his mother to let her know he was safe in the morning, but she called him while he was eating noodles at noon.

Pei Sihao kept apologizing. Pei's mother had been trying to get someone to pick up Pei Sihao and the others and bring them back to Beijing, but the situation in Beijing was not very clear. It was said that there was a land movement in Beijing, and the entire national command headquarters and survivors in Beijing might have to relocate to the central region. So there was no way to arrange for someone to pick up Pei Sihao.

Pei Sihao comforted his mother for a few words and was about to hang up when his second brother grabbed the phone again, emphasizing the need to pay attention to climate change and meteor showers.

So the group started applying protective layers to the larger windows of the house to prevent them from freezing and cracking in case the temperature dropped suddenly, which would destroy their villa fortress.

Just as the group was setting up the protective layer, a helicopter appeared in the sky. It wasn't a rescue helicopter; it simply circled overhead, broadcasting news of a sudden drop in temperature and an impending meteor shower. In this respect, Wang Qiang was indeed an excellent commander.

Seeing the helicopter reminded them that Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had been gone for five days. Given the current highway coverage in G Province, the journey from G City to T City should only take five or six hours. With luck, they should be able to return the next day. However, considering their mission to rendezvous with the survivor team from Y Province, even a few more days' delay should mean they were already on their way back.

The group didn't know if Qin Yuan and Lin Yun would have a chance to return to the command post this time, but if they chose to come back to the villa, they would welcome them with open arms.

You never know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow...

But for them, this time the unexpected happened first.

DAY92

On September 26, 2074, Lu Yuan and his group did not wait for Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, who were expected to return, but instead witnessed the meteor shower predicted by Beijing.

The expected meteor shower arrived at an unexpected time.

When Lu Yuan woke up in the morning, he glanced at his phone. It was 7:30. Given the weather in September, the sun should have been shining brightly outside at this time. After washing up, he went to the window in his room to check the situation outside. However, when he opened the curtains a little, the view outside was still as dark as night.

Lu Yuan quickly went up to the third floor. Perhaps because the female archer zombie had left, they were all much more relaxed. Zhong Qiang, who had been on the night shift, was asleep in the single sofa, and Yang Xiao, who was on the morning shift, hadn't come either. Lu Yuan woke up the other three who were still sleeping with the walkie-talkie, and then looked out from the third-floor balcony with his binoculars again.

"What's going on?" Yang Xiao's room was on the third floor. He arrived the fastest after the walkie-talkie rang. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, rubbing his eyes.

"Why isn't it light outside yet?" Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao noticed as soon as they arrived that the bright sunlight wasn't streaming through the gap in the curtains in front of Lu Yuan, unlike usual.

"I don't know, we can't see the sun at all." Lu Yuan put down the binoculars, and Zhong Qiang, who was beside him, also woke up.

"In the early hours of the morning, I don't know why I suddenly felt very sleepy..." Zhong Qiang explained why he fell asleep while on duty. There were several empty coffee cans on the small table next to the sofa, indicating that he was indeed trying to stay awake, but he still fell asleep.

"I overslept too..." Gu Nanfeng, who had the best sleep schedule among them, usually got up at six o'clock to exercise unless he was on the second shift at night. But today, he was also woken up by Lu Yuan's voice on the walkie-talkie.

Just as the group was wondering what was going on, the sky outside suddenly brightened, not with the warm yellow light of the rising sun, but with a blinding white light, an extreme white... Then came a loud bang, and the earth shook violently.

Lu Yuan pulled back the curtains slightly, and the entire villa area outside was illuminated by the blinding white light. The light was so glaring that Lu Yuan quickly pulled the blackout curtains back in.

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, the light filtering through the curtains dimmed. Gu Nanfeng then stepped forward and slightly pulled back the curtains to observe the surroundings through binoculars.

Nothing else changed in the entire neighborhood; the shaking sensation, like an earthquake, didn't reappear, so it didn't feel like an earthquake. But as the white light dimmed, the sky outside returned to its usual darkness.

"Holy crap! A meteor shower!" Pei Sihao pointed at the sky in disbelief. In the dark sky, meteors streaked across the horizon, trailing long tails.

None of the five of them expected that this meteor shower would come so suddenly. Meteors were flying all over the sky. If an expert were next to them, they would definitely say that this was a once-in-a-century meteor shower. The number of meteors was so great that it really felt like a heavy rain.

"That white light just now!" Lu Yuan suddenly realized, "Could it be that a meteorite has fallen into G City...?"

"It's not impossible." Gu Nanfeng thought so too, looking at the meteor shower filling the sky.

"If I wish for the end of this virus now, will it come true?" Zhong Qiang was also dazzled by the firework-like shooting star.

The meteor shower, which started around 8 a.m., lasted for four hours. After watching for a while, Lu Yuan and the others went about their own business. When Gu Nanfeng called everyone to lunch at noon, the sun gradually appeared. It seems that before the meteor shower, another astronomical phenomenon occurred—a total solar eclipse.
