The Path You’ve Chosen

If it was before the apocalypse and it was nine o'clock in the evening, everyone would have just gotten off work. It was common for them to watch TV after dinner, go out to watch a movie with their loved ones, or go to the streets and dance with friends. However, it was nine o'clock now, and most people had already fallen asleep. Some people had even fallen into a deep sleep.

Even so, He Xing and Du Yue were not sleepy at all. They were still waiting. Why spend such long hours sleeping when they were still alive? They could sleep for a long time after death. It was better for them to be more alert now. It was just past 9:20 when Du Yue heard some movement outside. It was the sound of heavy objects stepping on the snow. The sound was heavy and muffled. It was not loud, but it was more obvious in the quiet night.
