Chapter 14 Hunting, Corpse Tide
Zhou Chang was frustrated that it started snowing even though the weather was fine just a moment ago.
His companion mentions that it has been winter for a year since an evil god invaded.
They are searching for animal traces to survive but hope they don't encounter any mutant beasts.
The companion talks about the Dawn Church's recent activities in unifying the districts but Zhou Chang is not fond of them, viewing them as exploitative.
As they walk in the snow, they come across a boar footprint.
Zhou Chang is happy to have found a young wild boar.
His companion warns him about the possibility of encountering a mutated wild boar, but Zhou Chang assures him that it's not a mutated one.
They plan to track the wild boar and set up traps to catch it.
After setting up the trap, they wait for the wild boar while lying in the snow.
Despite being soaked and cold, they don't move to avoid scaring away the wild boar.
Zhou Chang's companion suggests ordering dry food as a backup in case they don't catch the wild boar and the two families go hungry.
Zhou Chang remained calm and ate his jerky despite feeling anxious about missing a hunting opportunity.
He knew that if they gave up today, they might not have another chance in the future.
Eventually, a wild boar appeared, and Zhou Chang signaled to his companion to be patient.
The boar stepped into their trap and was caught, and the two hunters were excited.
They quickly prepared the boar to take some meat back to camp, as it was too heavy to carry all of it.
Zhou Chang urged his companion to hurry since it was getting late.
.........
It was getting dark and difficult to walk, but the campfire could be seen in the distance.
One of the companions needed to use the bathroom, and Zhou Chang made a joke to be careful not to freeze.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and Zhou Chang turned around to see his companion being attacked by a zombie.
He quickly fled on a sled, trying not to look back as more and more zombies chased after him.
