At this time, a haggard woman passed by in a hurry. She was attracted by the girl's hawking voice and stopped.

A hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes, but she finally couldn't help but pick up the comb, gently rubbing it on her fingertips, feeling the texture of the bone comb, her eyes full of love.

But then, she seemed to remember something, shook her head helplessly, and stammered:

"It's too expensive. Can you make it cheaper? One white crystal, please? I...this is all I can afford."

The girl bit her cracked lips, her eyes full of confusion.

She thought about how she had risked her life to snatch animal bones from a pile of zombies in order to make this comb, and how she had spent countless nights carefully polishing it, and it was really hard for her to give up this meager profit.

After hesitating for a moment, she said with a pleading tone:

"Auntie, it really won't work. Look at the workmanship of this comb. I spent a lot of effort to make it, and the materials are hard to find. Just think about it, with this comb, it will be much more convenient to comb your hair in the future. Take another look?"

There are also many people strolling on the streets. They walk slowly and their eyes wander over the people and things around them.

One of them was a middle-aged man, wearing a washed-out jacket with his hands in his pockets. He would stop from time to time to look at a stall or the crowd, with a hint of worry on his face.

As he walked, he passed by a stall selling food.

On the stall, there were pieces of dark-colored dry food cakes. These cakes looked roughly made and even had some cracks on the surface, but in this doomsday world where food resources are extremely scarce, they are undoubtedly extremely tempting.

The man's attention was instantly attracted, and he stopped involuntarily. His throat rolled and he swallowed, and his cracked lips trembled slightly.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner immediately greeted them warmly, with a hint of flattery in his voice:

"Brother, have a piece of dry food cake! This cake is very solid, it can satisfy your hunger. One piece can keep you going for a long time. It only costs one level one white crystal!"

A trace of struggle flashed in the man's eyes, and he subconsciously reached into his pocket, gently stroking the precious crystal cores with his fingers.

Each crystal core was obtained by him after going through numerous hardships in the apocalypse, and it is an important guarantee for his survival.

He knew very well that in this cruel doomsday, every expenditure of crystal cores had to be calculated carefully and no carelessness was allowed.

After hesitating for a long time, the man slowly shook his head, his eyes full of reluctance, and finally turned around and left with heavy steps.

He knew that he had to use the crystal core effectively in order to barely maintain his survival like a candle in the wind.

On both sides of the road are rows of simple houses built with waste materials. Although these houses look very simple, they are arranged in an orderly manner.

The walls of the houses are covered with all kinds of graffiti. Some are nostalgia for the good life before the end of the world. The people in the paintings are smiling, and their lives are full of sunshine and joy. Some are longings and hopes for the future. The world in the paintings is beautiful, there are no zombies, no disasters, and people live a happy and peaceful life.

Each graffiti is like a faint candlelight lit by the survivors in the darkness, carrying their deepest desires.

In front of some larger buildings, there are fortifications made of sandbags and barbed wire, with several simple machine guns mounted inside, with the black muzzles pointing outward, as if demonstrating against all potential threats and warning of possible dangers.

Next to the fortifications, several guards were patrolling vigilantly. Although their equipment was not sophisticated, the vigilance and concentration in their eyes made people feel their responsibility and determination to protect the base.

The convoy moved slowly along the main road, and the slowly rolling wheels seemed to be struggling to write lines of unknown chapters in the dead silence of the end of the world.
