Chapter 1 Entering Another World

For Li Chenzhou, entering another world wasn't a big deal, but he was worried about Grey Bear, who had entered before him.

Logically speaking, Grey Bear should have entered this world as well, just a few minutes earlier than him. However, he couldn't find Grey Bear's figure now, which was problematic.

Even if Grey Bear left or hid aside, he would definitely pay attention to his appearance within these few minutes, since he was likely to follow.

But now, Grey Bear was nowhere to be found. There should be two possibilities for this space channel. One was that the space channel was random, and the people who entered would only be teleported to this world, but the location was uncertain.

The second possibility was time. Although it seemed to him that Grey Bear had only entered a few minutes earlier, it might have been a few days or even years in this world.

Compared to the latter, Li Chenzhou preferred that the space channel was random, and he and Grey Bear were just in different locations, rather than the timeline being messed up.

Soon, Li Chenzhou climbed to the top of the building and looked around.

Because he was no longer in his own country, the layout of the city was slightly different. But after all, they were all human cities, and no matter how different they were, they were still similar, such as the different architectural styles.

However, what Li Chenzhou wanted to see was not the layout of the city. No matter what kind of city it was, it had little to do with him. What he was looking for was zombies, or humans, or even mutated beasts. In short, it had to be something alive!

However, the thing that worried Li Chenzhou the most happened. After reaching the rooftop, Li Chenzhou looked around, and besides the plastic bags blown by the wind and some poster scraps, he couldn't see any moving objects at all.

The whole city seemed to be devoid of any living things, a scene of deathly silence, with only some windows that were not closed, constantly swinging in the scorching sunlight...

"Could it be... that the time is really distorted?"

Li Chenzhou continued to wander around the rooftop, searching for anything that might be alive, while thinking to himself.

Cities that seemed to have been completely abandoned like this were not uncommon in his previous life, but they were rare, and they only appeared five or six years after the apocalypse!

At that time, the material resources left over from before the apocalypse had basically been scavenged by human survivors. Even those that had not been found could not withstand the erosion of time.

Therefore, few survivors would enter the city. The bases that could survive to this point were able to be self-sufficient, so they would no longer rely on the city as much as before.

And the zombies in the city were now controlled by the zombie kings. Although zombies didn't really need to eat or drink, and wouldn't starve to death, they needed living creatures, whether humans or mutated beasts, to increase their level.

So, in the later stages, although zombies would still occupy the city, there were also many who left the city to find human bases. Xiaoya in his previous life was such a zombie king, who had destroyed countless human bases!

And this kind of city, where both zombies and humans had left, was completely abandoned and that's how it was created.

However, no matter how he looked at it, this city didn't seem like the completely abandoned cities of his previous life. The simplest point was that he was still carrying a bag of food and water that he had just collected below.

Among these foods, although there was no easily perishable food like bread, the vacuum-packed foods basically only had a shelf life of six months to a year.

Thinking of this, Li Chenzhou took out a pack of plastic-sealed chicken legs from his bag, opened it, and tasted it. There was no strange taste. He took out another bottle of drink, and it also hadn't gone bad.

Because he didn't understand the situation in the city, Li Chenzhou simply sat on the rooftop, eating and looking around!

This was not the central area of the city, because he could see the edge of the city to the left, as well as the highway outside the city. As for the right, it was an endless expanse of high-rise buildings, a steel jungle.

Ten minutes later, Li Chenzhou was full, packed his backpack, then jumped off the rooftop, and returned to the street from the stairs. Looking at the overgrown vegetation on the street, he walked over to take a look, and there were only some flying insects inside.

Should he go to the city center, or leave the city and search outside?

Looking left and right, Li Chenzhou hesitated for a moment, but then made a decision—enter the city!

In his previous life, the central areas of the city were basically occupied by zombie kings. Generally speaking, no one would go deep into them.

In this life, Li Chenzhou had entered two cities, Qing City and Qi City. It seemed that the central areas of these two cities hid some secrets.

Qing City was the location of the Corpse Demon (shi mo). He hadn't eliminated the Corpse Demon yet, so it was unclear what was there, but he was able to reach this city by entering in the central area of Qi City.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou of course chose the city center. Although if he left the city, he might be able to find human bases outside the city and learn more about the situation here, Grey Bear was now missing, and he didn't want to waste time.

Coming to a pickup truck, he easily opened the car door. Li Chenzhou directly started the car. Fortunately, the car started smoothly, and there was still more than half a tank of gas in the fuel tank!

Although he was unfamiliar with this city, Li Chenzhou had just seen the surrounding environment clearly on the rooftop. So he turned directly and drove towards the depths of the city. However, the sound of the pickup truck driving was a bit startling in this silent city.

Li Chenzhou didn't drive fast. While driving, he paid attention to the buildings on both sides. There was nothing special about these buildings. The doors and windows were either closed or open. Black blood stains could be seen everywhere on the ground and the walls of the buildings, which was completely in line with the characteristics of the apocalypse.

After passing through two blocks in a row, Li Chenzhou still didn't find anything. He would even occasionally stop the car and enter the buildings on the street to take a look, but it was still fruitless.

For some reason, since arriving in this city, Li Chenzhou had always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was something wrong with this city.

Although, judging from the bloodstains on the buildings, the messy streets, the overgrown vegetation, and the chaos in the shops, this city was very much in line with the urban environment of the apocalypse, Li Chenzhou just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while!

Finally, just as Li Chenzhou walked into a bar, picked up a bottle of wine from the bar, took a sip, and subconsciously looked inside the bar, his body suddenly shook. He finally realized what he felt was wrong!

Corpses! Since entering this city, he had not seen a single corpse. But in the cities of the apocalypse, you could easily find corpses on almost every street, or even in every building. But here, there wasn't a single one...
