Chapter 166 The Secret of Being Afraid of the Dark

That night, Chen Bufan lay in a bathtub filled with ice, enjoying the cool and comfortable feeling, with no intention of coming out at all.

The weather was really abnormal. In the afternoon, the temperature reached 40°C, as if it was going to scorch the whole world.

The soil on the ground was dried up by the sun and became extremely hard, even with deep cracks appearing on it.

Even the zombies that were originally going to attack them no longer moved forward bravely as usual.

They hid in piles under the treetops, seemingly unable to endure the scorching hot weather. The scorching heat caused the rotten flesh on their bodies to constantly ooze grease and emit a disgusting stench.

Chen Bufan sometimes thinks.

If such high temperatures continue, will all these zombies die of heat?

After all, hot weather usually speeds up the decomposition of corpses.

However, although zombies are also corpses, they have viruses in their bodies, so they may not be simply regarded as corpses in the true sense.

No matter what, do whatever you want...

There was a tray floating on the water in front of him, with a plate and a bowl on it. In the plate was the chilled watermelon that Li Wenyin had cut.

There is fruit salad in the bowl. The fruits in it are all grown in the small world. Each fruit exudes its own unique fragrance and tastes very pure. It is soaked in yogurt...

On the small table next to the bathtub, there was a large plate with a pile of fried steaks cut into small pieces placed on it layer by layer, covered with black pepper sauce. The meat seemed to weigh at least five pounds.

The beef is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with blood-red water flowing in the middle layer. It has a beautiful name, myoglobin, but he thinks it is just blood and water, just not as thick... What bullshit.

He picked up two pieces with chopsticks, dipped them in black pepper sauce and put them into his mouth. He chewed them for a while with satisfaction and swallowed them. He then took a sip of Sprite with ice cubes, took another bite of beef and ate two slices of cold watermelon. Perfect...!

He only uses chopsticks, not a knife and fork. One reason is habit, and the other is that he doesn't like putting cold iron in his mouth.

"It's so comfortable. I'm the only one who can live so comfortably in the end of the world, right...?"

From a person with a cheat, the quote from Fanerzhai…

After eating everything, I took a bath towel and rubbed myself. After soaking for a long time, the dust on my body was softened and came off with a rub.

Looking at the mud in the water, he muttered, "What a lousy weather! I still get chapped even after taking a shower every day..."

He rubbed everything except his back. He couldn't reach it himself, and he didn't dare ask the woman to come in and help him.

"Forget it, I won't rub my back anymore. I'd rather be a little dirty than be censored."

Chen Bufan washed himself clean, picked up the tray and walked out wrapped in a bath towel.

I put the tray in the kitchen and went to the living room to watch TV for a while. I used the intercom to ask about the situation outside. I didn't go out after taking a shower, otherwise I would sweat all over and the shower would be in vain.

The situation outside is relatively stable, but the coming of night does not bring any coolness. Instead, it makes the air even more sultry. I wonder if it will rain tomorrow.

Most of the soldiers have already gone into their vehicles to rest, with only a few remaining to patrol and guard around the village to prevent the zombies from quietly surrounding them.

Before nightfall, the entire village had been thoroughly searched by them.

In many houses, zombies that had been dead for a long time were found, as well as many human corpses that had been eaten by zombies.

Judging from the appearance, some parts have even turned into bones, which can be inferred that these people may have suffered misfortune at the beginning of the apocalypse.

After clearing the zombies from every house, the soldiers also tried to search for survival supplies such as rice and flour.

Normally, rural areas should have abundant reserves of rice and flour resources.

However, they found nothing.

There are probably two possibilities for this situation: either outsiders looted everything, or the villagers collected all the items themselves and fled.

Today, the houses in the village have not seen any signs of human life for a long time.

The huge group of zombies outside the village was far away, and the zombies at the back were not attracted by the gunshots. Without the command of the zombie king, they just numbly followed the zombies in front and moved forward slowly.

The number of zombies in the front row was not enough to encircle the village. After all, this line of defense was 5 kilometers long, so the group of zombies was blocked here.

Just keep a close eye and make sure the evolved zombies don't move the cars out of the defense line.

After confirming that everything was fine, Chen Bufan also planned to take a short rest.

But he didn't want to go back to his bedroom, but walked towards Wang Yuqing's room.

Wang Yuqing's room also had air conditioning on, and the temperature was just right.

There was a warm-hued table lamp on the bedside table, and she had already fallen asleep after a busy day.

At this time, she was wearing a white silk pajamas, matched with silk shorts, which set off her graceful figure and her long legs were as white as snow.

Chen Bufan walked over and woke up Wang Yuqing.

Only after he saw clearly that it was him did he unclench his fist.

Wang Yuqing was a little shy: "Why are you here if you're not going back to the house?"

Chen Bufan said mysteriously: "Let me tell you a little secret. I don't dare to sleep alone. I'm timid and afraid of the dark."

Wang Yuqing's expression gradually became constipated: "Chen Bufan, you are really amazing..."

Chen Bufan said rudely: "Help me keep the secret."

The next morning

Chen Bufan walked out of the RV refreshed.

He faced the rising sun and began to implement the zombie elimination plan for the new day.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these few days, they have been holding on to this small village and fighting fiercely with countless zombies.

During this period, they destroyed many guns and mortars, but to the zombies' regret, the number of guns and mortars in Chen Bufan's hands increased.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer zombies, but the team he led was growing stronger and stronger, and now has more than two thousand brave and fearless soldiers.

However, there was also some news spreading in the RV that was not so good for Chen Bufan.

Everyone knew his little secret that he was afraid of the dark. Everyone knew his weakness and often looked at him with contempt.

Chen Bufan was about to collapse! He had clearly emphasized that this was a little secret, so why couldn't everyone keep it a secret for him? These people were really ill-educated!

It’s really annoying…

On the third night, An Cheng flew out with a drone to check on the zombie situation and confirmed that the number of zombies was less than 20. Chen Bufan planned that after cleaning up some more, it would be time to lead the zombies to surround the base.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Chen Bufan had some midnight snack.

A bowl of old-fashioned spicy hot pot, some fried skewers covered in sauce, and a cold beer.

After eating, he was thinking about who to tell his secret about being afraid of the dark today?

A voice came from the intercom...

"Boss... caught two people in the village."
