Survive! The End of the World Stockpiling Campaign

Seven days left.

The picture was so clear that the blood-stained zombies pounced towards me, and their pale and gray faces gradually enlarged.

I didn’t know where I was bitten, but I lost consciousness.

Now it is evening when I wake up.

After graduating from college, I chose to be a live streamer. I was used to taking a nap in the afternoon and starting live streaming after waking up. I’m not sure if the scene just now was a dream, but I remember one scene very clearly.

If it were to happen again, some fans would be disappointed tonight. The reason why I remember it clearly is because I was a fan of this star before. The childhood filter was too perfect, which made me remember it clearly.

At nine o’clock, a hot search suddenly exploded, “Zheng Moudai y”.

It’s rebirth!

In seven days, a global disaster will break out – the zombie virus.

At first, it only appeared in a few coastal cities and was urgently refuted by the authorities. I have never paid attention to these fictitious things. After following the trend and shouting a few times on the Internet that I believe in science, I no longer paid attention to it.

Just three days, just three days.

The zombie virus was out of control. At the beginning, the authorities used drones to say that they would not give up on anyone, but after a few days, even the drones disappeared.

In my previous life, I survived safely for a month and a half by relying on the snacks I stockpiled. As the snacks were used up, I had to go out to look for supplies. Before I even left the community, I was pounced on by zombies.

It’s really miserable.

The signal was cut off too quickly in my previous life, and what I can’t let go of the most is that I won’t know whether my parents are safe until I die.

Thinking of this, I quickly called my parents, “Hello, Mom and Dad. It’s snowing in City A recently. Can you come over to see me? I want to eat dumplings. Mom, come over and make some for me.”

My parents are typical Chinese parents. They complained about me for not being able to do anything and not being able to make dumplings at such a big age, but they agreed to come over tomorrow.

Fortunately, my parents live in the neighboring
city B, so it doesn’t take too long to get here. The sooner I can get them here, the more at ease I can feel. After my parents retired from their teaching jobs, they started to live at home. I have suggested bringing them here countless times, but they always think that coming here will be a burden to me and are unwilling to do so. They come to see me once every month or so, bringing a car full of food.

Thinking of this, I quickly sent a WeChat message to my dad: Dad!!! Don’t forget my favorite sausages!!!

Sausages can be stored for a long time and will not go bad even if they are not kept in the refrigerator. In my previous life, it seemed that the power went out on the third or fourth day of the zombies, and I hurriedly wrote down the power problem on an A4 paper.

The A4 paper is already full of notes. Since I finished writing my university thesis, I haven’t had such a strong mental activity. To be honest, even writing university thesis was not so tiring. After all, it is directly related to my life.

I haven’t used my brain for a long time. Even after taking a nap in the afternoon, I am still very sleepy. I put the A4 paper under my pillow, thought about the tough battle tomorrow, and fell into a deep sleep.

The first step is to reinforce the doors and windows.

My home is on the 21st floor. I bought this top floor after I graduated from college with the income from being a live streamer. To be honest, I didn’t have much money at the time, and I thought it would be embarrassing to ask my parents to pay for it when I grow up, so I bought a place far from the city center. I never thought that when the doomsday came, my neighborhood would be safe.

There are not many supermarkets near the community, but fortunately there is a warehouse-style supermarket called Metro.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly called the installation company and asked the master to come and reinforce the doors and windows.

“Girl, your door is already strong enough. It’s as strong as a bank’s safe door. There’s no need to reinforce it.”

“My dad insisted on changing this door for me, saying it’s unsafe for a girl to be outside alone. I definitely don’t like this heavy door, but it’s a pity that I didn’t win the fight with my dad.”

I also asked the masters to replace all the glass in my house with the highest level bulletproof glass and also to apply a layer of one-way film. It would have taken three days to complete the job, but I simply gave them an extra ten thousand yuan. The masters laughed so hard that their eyes were about to narrow.

“Master, can we finish this job this afternoon? My mom is coming over, she has paranoia.”

Perhaps because he saw that I was a wealthy man, one of the craftsmen even asked me whether I wanted to install a guardrail.

“Pack!”

I can’t drive, which makes it very difficult to purchase supplies. My father forced me to learn when I was in college. At first, I was very enthusiastic, but I was scolded by the driving school coach and doubted my life. I failed the second test five times in a row, so I finally gave up.

In order to stop my dad from scolding me, I brainwashed him, “Don’t worry, driverless technology will be mature in the future.”

I first took a taxi to Metro. On the way, I used online banking, Alipay and other apps
to check how much money I had. The income from being a host in recent years is very considerable. All in all, it is still more than 700,000 yuan. I will tell my parents when they come over. With the money from my parents, I estimate that I have at least 1.5 million yuan.

There are so many things I want to buy, but I don’t dare to choose door-to-door delivery. In the end times, the most terrifying things are people.

I went straight to the fast food area. I could have bought these things online in batches from different locations, but the problem was
that the epidemic in my city, A, continued this year. So far, there are still two epidemic prevention and control zones, and express delivery could not come in. I cleared out all the fast food on the shelves, about 150 boxes of self-heating hot pot, 100
boxes of self-heating rice, and more than 50 barrels of Huainan beef soup and duck blood vermicelli soup.

Fortunately, the shopping carts in warehouse supermarkets are very large, so I just pushed two. When I was waiting in line to pay, I received a call from my father. Although my father is old, he has a large truck driver’s license. I made up an excuse and called my father over, “Dad, go rent a truck and come to Metro. Yes, yes, yes, I’m a broadcaster, and I plan to hold a lottery.”

The installer sent me a message saying that the bulletproof glass had been replaced. I paid him the money without saying anything, and added, “The epidemic has become serious again recently. Master, please buy more food at home.”

My dad was coming over soon, so I could buy more things. So I immediately handed the unchecked items to the stockist to have him look after them, and started a new round of shopping with the shopping cart:

10 boxes of yogurt, 12 bottles per box

15 boxes of sparkling water, 12 bottles per box

20 boxes of instant noodles, 24 bags per box

50 100,000-volt power banks

50 boxes of mineral water, 12 bottles per box

15 boxes of snail rice noodle, 12 bags per box

10 bags of flour, 20 kg per bag

10 bags of rice, 20 kg per bag

100 boxes of potato chips, 20 boxes of hand-torn bread, 50 packs of soy milk powder, 50 packs of black sesame paste

I was thinking of setting up a solar panel in the afternoon, and I also bought 50 kilograms of pork, 50 kilograms of beef, and 50 kilograms of mutton.

The refrigerator at home is really small, so I have to buy two large freezers.

These things are definitely not enough. Although Metro is a warehouse-style supermarket, it is not a good idea to buy too many things. You have to buy from multiple stores.

As soon as I paid, my dad drove the truck over. Seeing the supermarket staff loading things onto the truck one by one, my dad laughed and joked, “Daughter, you are bleeding a lot. How many things do you have to deliver?”

As soon as I got in the car, I noticed that my dad had become serious. “Qingqing, what happened? You changed the windows at home, bought so many things, and called me and your mom over in a hurry.”

I thought about this question last night. It gave me a headache to make up excuses. I also knew I couldn’t hide it from them, so I decided to tell the truth.

My parents are old and have experienced the famine years. Maybe because they later became high school teachers and come into contact with new-age children every day, they are sometimes even more receptive to new things than I am.

My dad’s eyes were red when he heard me say that I died in the neighborhood in my previous life. Death may be far away, but parents can always empathize with your pain. “It’s useless to just reinforce the doors and windows. You also have to make them silent. What if someone hears the noise and comes to rob you?”

My dad is a man of action and he called my mom while he was talking to me.

This solved the problem that had been worrying me all night.

There was still one-third of the space left in the truck. I followed the navigation and headed straight to the vegetable market, where I bought a bunch of things:

Potatoes 10 bags × 150kg

Cabbage 10 bags × 150kg

Apple 10 boxes × 20kg

Oranges 10 boxes x 20kg

I remember reading some articles about zombie hoarding when I was in college, and the protagonists in those articles all raised chickens. I immediately told my dad about this idea.

“No, chickens make noises.”

As soon as I turned my eyes, I saw the fish and clapped my hands, “Let’s raise fish!”

Today is Wednesday, and most people in the community are out at work. In addition, the community is located in a remote area, and the occupancy rate is not high. The family of three moved the supplies one by one to their own small attic, but no one noticed.

My mother is a biology teacher. After taking a look at the existing supplies, she suggested buying some seeds.

There were still too many missing things at home, so I left my mother at home to clean up, while my father and I hurried out again.

We went straight to Sam’s in another district of City A. This time, with my dad, who had lived for half his life, shopping was much more organized:

Rice 20 bags × 20kg

Flour 20 bags × 20kg

50 boxes of canned fruit, 20 pieces per box

30 boxes of various canned meats, 20 pieces per box

Noodles 50 packs

50 boxes of mineral water, 12 bottles per box

Bread 15 boxes

Nanchang Mixed Noodles 50 Boxes

15 boxes of snail noodles, 12 bags per box.

Soybean oil 20 barrels × 20kg

Dishwashing liquid 20 bottles × 2L

Toilet paper 20 packs x 12 rolls

Shower gel 30 bottles × 700ml

50 bottles of laundry detergent × 2L (You may not need so much, after all, water has become a luxury in the later period, but my mother has a slight mysophobia, so if it doesn’t work, you can purify rainwater.
Although City A is in the north, it may be a traitor to the north, and it rains a lot.)

Toothbrushes 50pcs

Toothpaste 50 tubes

20 bars of soap (only used by my dad)

Shampoo 50 bottles x 600ml (I took a little from each brand)

20 boxes of egg yolk cakes, 6 pieces per box

Ham sausage 50 bags

The shelves were cleared out with sanitary napkins. After looking at the number, I estimated that it would be enough for me to use until menopause.

Metro is far from home, and I work as a broadcaster.
No one in City A knows me, so I just buy as much as I can. Thinking that the power outage and natural gas would be gone soon after the zombie outbreak, I asked my dad to install solar panels. He is a high school physics teacher, so this little problem is not difficult for him. If the natural gas is gone, the pot at home will not work.

When I thought of this, I hurriedly bought 5 air fryers, 5 small pots for cooking, 5 rice cookers, and two induction cookers for hot pot.

When we were checking out, my dad acted like a good actor, “Qingqing, your boss really doesn’t know how to do his job. It’s fine if he donates to charity organizations, but why did he think of donating supplies? It’s fine if he donates supplies, but he also asked you, a girl, to come and buy them!”

We bought so many things that the cashier’s eyes were almost narrowed from smiling.

“It will definitely be donated to the affected areas. In the past few years, companies have come to buy from time to time.”

After asking the staff to load the things onto the truck, my dad and I went straight to the mall.

My mom reminded me of this. If zombies can break out, who knows if the weather will be abnormal. Although City A is in the north, what if we encounter extreme weather?

5 sets of summer pajamas, 5 sets of winter pajamas, and 10 sets of home clothes per person

Each person will receive 10 pairs of summer slippers and 10 pairs of winter cotton slippers.

7 pairs of sports shoes per person.

15 cotton quilts, 15 thin quilts

20 sets of four-piece bedding sets

8 down jackets per person, 10 sweaters, n summer clothes

Disposable underwear 500 sets

When I got home, I found that the house was already being muted. Maybe it was because my mother gave a lot of money, so eight or nine workers came to this house of more than 100 square meters. When no one was paying attention, I asked my mother where she put the things.

“The rooftop.”

This is an unspoken secret among the residents of the community. The rooftop has always belonged to the top floor. When I bought this house, I went to the rooftop to see it. Because the floor is built high, the height of the rooftop is 1.6 meters. This building is also the highest in the neighborhood. If you go to the rooftop, you just need to bend down and you won’t be discovered. Fortunately, my parents and I really didn’t think about doing sound insulation or anything.

Now that the money was paid, the work naturally went faster and was completed around eight o’clock in the evening. After seeing off the installer, the family moved the things from the roof to the attic, and then moved the things in the truck upstairs.

“We still need to buy some medicine. We also need to buy some multivitamins. We don’t have enough water. So, Qingqing, you and your dad go buy water tomorrow. Go to more stores and buy less from each store. I’ll buy seeds, soil, etc. tomorrow. I’m afraid that no pharmacy will dare to sell antibiotics because of the epidemic.”

I was silent for a moment. I thought that there might not be a shortage of medicines, so I ran into the house and took out two medicine boxes. “Well, Mom, you forgot. Every time you and Dad came, you brought me a lot of medicines, and they were all the latest dates. The most recent one seemed to be ten days ago…”

Looking at the two full medicine boxes, the family felt relieved. “Although your father and I don’t have high blood pressure or anything like that, we still have to buy some just in case.”

My dad and I were busy moving the supplies down from the rooftop. We were really tired today, so my mom just cooked some noodles. The next morning, I just drank some milk powder and ate some bread before going out.

Six days left.

“Dad! Don’t forget the solar panels and the large freezer. The large freezer can be placed in the study. There should be no problem putting two large freezers in the study.”

They did it right away. They went straight to the mall and bought two large freezers. Fortunately, it was cold now, otherwise the meat they bought yesterday would have gone bad.

I went to buy a few more solar energy systems because I was afraid one of them would break down. Although my dad said he could fix it, what if?

When I bought the solar panel, I went next door and bought some thick blackout curtains.

There was still some space left in the truck, so I took my dad and went straight to buy some water:

Drinking water 10 barrels × 19L

Mineral water 10 cans x 12 bottles

Then I ran to pack the things my mother bought:

50 packets of various seeds (including cabbage, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and other easy-to-grow vegetables and fruits.)

10 bags of unthreshed wheat x 30kg (these have a long shelf life, so if you really can’t do it, grind them by hand.)

Chicken breast 50kg

Chicken wings 20kg

20kg chicken feet

20kg beef

These filled the van.

On the way back, I went to the drugstore to buy some medicines that didn’t take up much space, such as vitamins, high blood pressure medicines, etc. I bought small quantities from many stores, and also bought 20 bottles of Psoriasis Cream, 10 bottles of Desonide, and 20 bottles of Vitamin E lotion.

A morning passed like this.

Fortunately, the elevator had enough space to fit a freezer. We moved our things up one by one and had a quick lunch. My mom couldn’t keep up with the pace, so she stayed behind to pack things. My dad and I continued to go shopping, this time heading straight to large supermarkets like Auchan:

Salt 70 packs

Soy sauce 10 boxes x 12 bottles

Vinegar 5 boxes x 12 bottles

3 boxes of fuel × 12 bottles

Paper towel 20 pack x 12 rolls

Tissue paper 20 packs x 12 packs

I also bought soybeans so that I can make soy sauce when the soy sauce is finished. I used to make soy sauce when my mother was not busy with work when I was a child.

At this point, all the shopping coupons from RT-Mart, Yonghui and Yaohan supermarkets have been used up.

“Hehe, I didn’t know I had accumulated so many shopping vouchers.”

Five days left.

Today’s task is much easier. So far, our home has been short of water, and we have to purchase water many times.

Oh, and we also had to buy some self-defense tools. To be prepared, we drove the truck to buy 50 barrels of water, each 19L. I also bought a few kitchen knives and a few small knives for self-defense.

When I passed by the gym, I suddenly wanted to buy a treadmill at home and run for a while every day, otherwise my physique would not be able to keep up. Although we have tried our best to make all the plans, what if?

When I thought of this, I went to the 4S
store again and saw a car. The salesperson praised it highly, saying that it was bulletproof, had a high chassis, and was very safe. When we were having dinner at home yesterday, I said that if it really didn’t work out, I had to leave. It was necessary to buy a car with a high safety factor.

I followed the salesperson to complete the formalities and made an appointment to pick up the car in three days. After returning home, I found that my mother had bought a lot of lemons. This thing can be stored for a long time, as long as it is placed in the refrigerator. This is a vitamin supplement for the period when apples and oranges are eaten and tomatoes are not yet ripe.

When the countdown was four days, my dad took my mom out to restock a lot of supplies. I don’t know how my dad managed to buy a few barrels of gasoline. “Wait until the RV comes back and put them in the RV. If the situation gets bad, we’ll leave.”

In the next few days, I will do live broadcasts every day to remind everyone to stock up on supplies. Please forgive me for not being able to say too much. I am really too insignificant. I just want to be well with my family. I really can’t be a savior.

After arriving home, my mother went to organize the supplies as usual, and my father went to the rooftop to continue completing the dry toilet. Except for the places for walking and sleeping, the rest of the house was already filled with supplies.

My grandparents died early, and my parents don’t have any other brothers and sisters, so there’s no need to worry about that. But there are quite a few colleagues. My mom hinted to a few good friends to buy more things at home, saying that the epidemic is getting serious again, so it’s better to be prepared. My mom has been strict all her life, so this statement is very credible. It’s not that I don’t want to say it clearly, but this matter is really unscientific. If it weren’t for their blind trust in me, my family wouldn’t believe it either.

My parents live in a residential building that was bought by the high school. Not only is there a lot of people, but it is also in a downtown area and an old neighborhood, so the safety factor is not good. That’s why they decided to live in City A. Of course, this is why I explained to them and asked them to come here.

We bought 200 barrels of drinking water at home, including various mineral water drinks, several large water receiving devices, and a lot of water purification tablets, so we don’t have to worry about water problems.

My dad had connected the solar panels a few days ago, and after testing them and finding no problems, he connected the power to the refrigerator and two large freezers.

The difficulty lies in the garbage problem. I found out that no one lives next door, so I simply rented it and used it to put the garbage there. The sanitation problem must be handled properly.

When there was only one day left in the countdown, the internet seemed to be reporting on some vicious injury incident in the coastal area, as if in the previous life. The family looked at each other, and my father took out the big lock bought from the hardware store and
locked the corridors from the 19th to the 21st floors. After observing for these few days, there was no one on these floors.

“Dad! Mom! We will be fine.”

Zombie outbreak.

After this incident appeared on Weibo, my family arranged for someone to be on duty, mainly because I had forgotten exactly when the zombies appeared in City A.

While there was still internet, the three of us quickly took out our phones and iPads
to download variety shows and TV dramas. My mother also bought a bunch of books, saying that learning never stops as long as you live. I don’t know whether I studied or not, but I guess it would hurt if these piles of books hit me.

Today I was on duty, and I was watching “Do You Know?” while looking out the window. With the rich experience in my previous life, I knew that these zombies were particularly sensitive to light, so I stopped turning on the lights at home at night. This trick not only prevents zombies but also people.

Suddenly, I found the security guard at the gate of the community stumbling towards me, followed by two blood-stained “people”. The security guard was shouting for help while running. It was too late, more than two o’clock in the morning. I guess no one else saw it except me. It’s not that I didn’t want to save him, but there was really no need to save him. I have good eyesight since I was a child, and there are street lights in the community. I can vaguely see the blood on the security guard’s arm.

It was estimated that in less than two minutes, the security guard stopped shouting for help and started wandering around like a headless fly.

I called 110
and told the police about the situation in the neighborhood, then ran back to the house to wake up my parents. My dad was fine, as he accepted new things very quickly, but my mom was not so good. She was frightened for a while before she asked, “Can these things turn into people?”

I believe my parents know the answer without my answering.

My dad, however, saw that my mom was scared, so he put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, “What are you afraid of? We are a family together! Even if the sky falls, I will still protect you two!”

I guess they couldn’t sleep because of this commotion, so we simply held a family meeting and talked about all these things.

“If you want to kill a zombie with one strike, you can only attack its head. Hitting other places is useless. They no longer feel pain.”

“Don’t worry, your mother and I have already learned about these things from watching The Walking Dead a few days ago.”

Seeing that my parents had calmed down, I took a deep breath and said one last thing, “Dad, Mom. There is one thing I must say. In the end times, the most terrifying thing is the human heart. We can only protect our own safety, we can’t be the savior! I know you have been teachers your whole life, but this is the end times! Protect yourselves!”

Fortunately, my parents are not the kind of people who are easily kind-hearted. They looked at each other and nodded slowly and firmly, “Don’t worry, we understand. As long as our family is well.”

The first day of the zombie outbreak.

I was on duty until six in the morning and couldn’t fall asleep, so I just waited for my mother to make breakfast and eat it before going to bed.

At around 7:50, some people started to go out to work. I thought to myself that something was wrong, and then I saw a man walking out of the apartment building opposite with a briefcase.

Perhaps it is a common problem among modern young people. They play with their phones while walking, and they don’t notice that someone is coming from behind and biting their arm without letting go.

“Fuck, you’re fucking sick!”

Along with the cursing, another zombie came over.

The man finally realized something was wrong and ran towards the apartment building while shouting for help.

An old man who came out from nowhere for morning exercise walked up to the two zombies and knocked them down. Before he could say anything, he was knocked to the ground by the man who had just been there.

“Get out of here, get out of here!”

I don’t want to watch the following scene again. Many people go out to work early in the morning. In other words, there must be many casualties.

The residents of the community finally realized something was wrong and no one came out anymore.

I was feeling sleepy, so I said a few words to my parents and ran back to my room to sleep.

When I woke up at noon, my mother had already prepared dinner. The zombie outbreak has just happened, and the water, electricity and other supplies are still running stably, but as I said last night, it’s better not to turn on the range hood.

The range hood is noisy, and zombies are a small matter. After all, they have no IQ. We are just afraid of attracting survivors. With the physical strength of the three of us, we can definitely deliver food to people.

It doesn’t matter if the quality of life is low, but we can definitely wait for rescue based on our material storage rate. If the materials are used up and rescue does not come, we will not be able to survive.

One difference from my previous life is that the signal has not been cut off in this life yet.

The community’s homeowners group is counting the number of survivors in every household. Now that the zombie outbreak has just begun, there are always people who fantasize that order has not yet collapsed. I discussed it with my father and said, “Let’s not report it. We have enough supplies anyway. Besides, we are few in number. What if someone comes to rob us?”

I agree with you.

While I was washing my face, my mother said as she served me some rice, “I saw on the group chat this morning that they are all doing well.”

The group she was talking about were her former colleagues. My mother had hinted at it both explicitly and implicitly that everyone had stored some supplies.

The lunch was stir-fried cabbage and beef with tomatoes. After the meal, each person was given an orange.

“After dinner, I’ll keep an eye on them while Qingqing and your dad take turns running on the treadmill.”

Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was a video call. The volume was very loud. I quickly turned down the volume and switched to voice mode. It was a property management staff member in the community.

“Hey, owner, are you home? We are counting the survivors, why don’t we see your reply?”

The family looked at each other, “Oh, I’m not home. I’m in my hometown.”

“That’s fine, that’s fine.”

After hanging up the phone, they looked at each other and asked, “What do you think he meant by calling me via video?”

My dad responded very quickly, “I remember a few days ago, your mom and I drove an RV to buy things. When we came back, we met a man who asked us why we bought so many things!”

This matter could be a big deal or a small one, so the three of them put down their bowls and chopsticks immediately. “Although I asked for another elevator card a few days ago on the pretext that I lost it, I’m just in case.”

This residential complex has one elevator for two households, and you can’t get up there without an elevator card.

“Qingqing, do you remember when the power went out?”

“Probably two or three days.”

“broken.”

My dad went out first and stopped the elevator at the 21st floor, then directly cut off the power to the elevator. “Although this is inhumane, there is no other way! As long as our family is fine!”

To be honest, we didn’t know how many families lived in this building, and the elevator was not stopped because we took into consideration the escape of others.

“It’s better this way. The stairs are safer. If something unexpected happens in the elevator, it’s all over.”

This is the only way we can comfort ourselves.

I am not a saint, and I will not put myself in danger and hope that others can escape. But I still feel uncomfortable for some reason.

“Qingqing, forget it. I checked with your dad before. Although the elevator can go directly to the underground parking lot, the elevator is pitch black and the risk factor is high. If you take the stairs, whether going up or down, the possibility of escape is higher.”

This was the only way I could comfort myself. After dinner, my dad took the sprinkler and went to water the seeds in the foam box.

Because it was daytime, the thick blackout curtains on the balcony were opened a corner, a very small corner, just enough for the sunlight to come in.

Before I finished watering, I saw a drone flying over from a distance, and along with the drone came an automatic broadcast.

“Dear residents, we have encountered an unprecedented disaster. Please stay at home and wait for government rescue. Please believe us, we will not abandon anyone.”

To be honest, I am really curious why I never got rescued until I died in my previous life.

I am too ordinary, too insignificant, and too selfish. Even if I could live my life over again, I would just want my family to live a good life.

After watering the plants, I started to read the self-defense techniques that I had downloaded a few days ago, when the loudspeaker in the community suddenly rang.

“Dear owners! Please let us believe that there is hope!”

In an instant, zombies from all directions began to look for the source of the sound like headless flies. The loudspeakers in the community were installed at the entrance of each unit. I didn’t quite understand why they had to install this loudspeaker. It’s the 21st century and everything can’t be solved with a mobile phone.

As the horn sounded, the zombies near the building instantly surrounded me. I couldn’t help but curse him as a psycho in my heart.

“Qingqing, will they come up?”

I don’t remember this incident. I was alone in my previous life and I was so scared during the day that I fell into a deep sleep.

“Mom, don’t worry. We’re on the 21st floor. We’ll be fine.”

That being said, I was still unsure. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

The horn stopped sounding and the zombies became like a swarm of headless flies again.

I noticed the man who went out to work this morning with a briefcase. There was blood on his arm and he was wandering around. He was still wearing a suit and looked like a white-collar worker. What a pity.

On the third day of the apocalypse, there were still only daily drone calls for everyone to stay at home and not give up, but rescue efforts were nowhere to be found.

Most of the young people living in this area work in a large factory nearby. As young people, not many of them have the habit of hoarding food. In my previous life, if I hadn’t stocked up a lot of snacks on Double Eleven, plus the gifts from the manufacturers, I wouldn’t have survived more than a month.

When my father was on duty in the morning, he saw a man and a woman running out of the apartment building opposite. They were wrapped tightly and moved very carefully.

A window on the thirteenth floor was opened, and two heads, one old and one young, popped out. The child, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, was holding a drone with a mobile phone on the tail. When he saw the man and woman going downstairs, he quickly took off the drone and flew in the opposite direction.

Not everyone’s car was parked in the underground parking lot, some were parked on the roadside in the community. The drone flying in the opposite direction suddenly made a noise, and the noise was loud enough to attract all the zombies at once. A man and a woman who ran out hurriedly got into the car, which was an
SUV.

I was deeply impressed by this man and woman. They were the first group to go out to look for supplies and returned safely, and they brought back a lot of supplies.

Anyway, I remember that this family never went out again before they died in their previous life.

Sure enough, about an hour and a half later, the couple drove back. The little boy had been staring at the gate of the community. When he saw his car, he quickly released the drone in the opposite direction.

The couple was quite successful. The trunk and back seat were packed full. It was estimated that everything else was full except for the seating space.

Just like in the previous life, the couple delivered the things upstairs and then turned back. I knew that they were going to look for solar panels and would drive back two cars.

In many ways, the courage of this couple is admirable. Before long, when the residents’ supplies are exhausted and everyone has to go out to look for supplies, the number of zombies will increase, and the difficulty of searching for supplies will also increase.

Around 2pm, the couple came back in two cars. The man was driving a truck, and the woman was driving her own SUV. The zombies nearby had already been led away by the little boy, so the couple hurried upstairs to deliver the goods.

The truck was full of water and rice.

I have lived a comfortable life and was able to look more closely at what the couple brought back.

Solar panels, various canned foods, rice, flour, grain, oil, daily necessities, and I even found seeds and soil.

Oh, and they also brought back a big bag of potatoes. Potatoes are easy to grow and can be used as food in the later stages.

The woman opened the passenger door, and inside was a large bag full of medicine.

Although I knew in my previous life that they had reached home safely, I still breathed a sigh of relief. The couple must have reached home safely, and the little boy took back the drone and closed the window.

The couple sent out a signal to the outside world, which was to go out and look for supplies quickly, while there were not so many zombies and while there were still supplies outside.

My mother stopped watching TV and focused on the family. She was relieved to see that they got home safely.

“They are really courageous.”

“They were even more daring tonight. The couple went out again, and if I remember correctly, they might have emptied the entire Metro.”

At around eleven o’clock in the evening, it was my turn to be on duty. I saw that the couple who had just returned in the afternoon went out again. The little boy was flying the drone far away, and he even put a small light on the drone, trying his best to escort his parents.

To be honest, although I don’t know what the situation is like outside now, judging from the fact that this couple returned safely twice, their fighting power is quite strong.

As expected, they transported two large trucks this time, two trucks of supplies each time. The last time, the couple drove the trucks back and returned in their own SUV. They didn’t finish until nearly five in the morning.

Generally, if there are elderly and children in the house, the doors and windows should be of the highest quality. So this family may be able to survive until the end.

My mother has been a high school teacher for many years, and even served as a class teacher for many years. She is woken up by her biological clock before 6 o’clock every morning. I told my mother about this, and she sighed, “It’s not easy for everyone.”

On the morning of the fourth day of the zombie outbreak, there was no water or electricity.

At first, there was just a water outage. When I was about to add a spoonful of water to cook, I found that the faucet was no longer running. The old man who was washing up had bubbles in his mouth. Then there was a power outage.

My dad sighed while watching TV, saying that life would become even more difficult for ordinary residents.

Even if they wanted to go out to look for supplies, today’s residential buildings are all 17 or 18 stories high, and young people today generally lack exercise. It might take their lives to carry the things they found up one floor at a time. And this is still the best case scenario.

What if there are zombies on one of the floors?

When I woke up in the afternoon, I found that the Internet was also down. As of this morning, the message in the community owner group was still the same as usual: “Please wait for rescue.”

All this had little impact on our family. My father, the old man, was still happily watching TV. While watching, he emphasized to my mother, “This martial arts master’s surname is Xu, the same as mine. Maybe we were from the same family five hundred years ago.”

There have been no lights on in the house since the power went out this morning.

During special periods, the quality of life can be reduced a little, but the safety of life must be ensured.

The drone flew over again, and still asked everyone to wait for rescue in the same old way, but this time it also added that supplies would be delivered.

As soon as he heard this, cheers suddenly came from somewhere in the building. My dad noticed that the access control of the apartment building opposite was broken, which was the building where the man in the suit came out. This kind of thing was a trivial matter before the end of the world, but it would be fatal during the end of the world. It was undoubtedly a loss of a layer of life protection.

Especially, there was a quarrel coming from the building opposite, and the noise was so loud that it attracted three zombies. They banged on the door control panel like headless flies, and the broken door control panel was knocked open at once.

The building opposite finally noticed something was wrong, the sound disappeared, but the zombies were still in the building. Although the zombies could not take the elevator and were clumsy at climbing stairs, they would “move forward” according to their instinct without fear of death or fatigue. These three zombies would inevitably bring great danger to the people in this building’s escape and search for supplies.

On the sixth day of the zombie outbreak, a man and a woman ran out of the building opposite. They looked extremely young. They moved very cautiously, looking around as they approached the car. Suddenly, the man stepped on a can and the zombies in the building rushed out instantly. The man pushed the woman back and ran forward on his own. My dad watched and cursed.

The woman was obviously caught off guard. She was still looking in the direction of the man with her eyes open when she was knocked down by the zombie. The man had already gotten into the car and was about to close the door when a zombie came out of nowhere and pounced on him.

This scene was so depressing that no one could eat much in the morning.

The whole family fell into silence. If the man had saved the woman in the morning, maybe both of them would not have died. Before I could figure out how to comfort my parents, my dad spoke up.

“We must be careful. Our family’s fighting power is not good. If we really encounter danger, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you two. If that happens, I will die with regrets!”

It turned out that this was what my dad was most worried about. I could only act cute and give him more rice. “Dad, you have to take good care of yourself. If you fall down, what will happen to me and my mom?”

“Starting today, everyone will extend their treadmill time by ten minutes!”

After my father announced the decision, he started eating.

Since the power outage, only a small desk lamp is left on at home every night when on duty.

When I was on duty at night, it suddenly occurred to me: do the family living in the building opposite really live on the 13th floor?

Every time the elevator goes up and down, it doesn’t seem like it’s coming down from the thirteenth floor, but rather like it’s coming down from the sixteenth or seventeenth floor.

When I first bought this house, I heard a salesperson in the community mention that there was a wealthy family in the community who bought a seven-story building and said they were planning to rent it out.

There is a large factory in this area, and several other large factories are still under construction. If it weren’t for this accident, they might have started recruiting people in the early spring of next year.

The 996 work schedule and housing subsidies in today’s large factories make young people more willing to rent houses nearby, no matter how expensive they are. Thinking about it this way, that family is really smart.

Knowing that bringing back so many things would definitely attract attention, he simply decided to have three burrows.

Just “abandoning” some supplies on the 13th floor would be enough to attract people to come and grab them. They live on another floor, lock all the security doors, and stop the elevator. If you think about it this way, that family will really be safe.

On the eighth day of the zombie outbreak, when I had just finished my meal and was about to go to bed in the morning, I saw people coming out of the building. They were carrying backpacks. There were five of them in a group, and they were walking towards the gate of the community with their backs bent.

I think he parked his car at the door and planned to escape.

But when they escape, they will find that everything outside is still the same.

That was a zombie carnival, how could individual power compare to it?

The five people walked very carefully. Before they had gone far, I heard a noise coming from the building they had just come out of. It was a cell phone alarm turned to the highest setting. I guess they had set the time before they left to lure the zombies away for them.

But in this case, if there are other survivors in the building, they are likely to die at the hands of zombies.

My mother also came over to take a look when she was washing rice. When she saw this behavior, she shook her head.

“It’s your own life that matters.”

Sure enough, as soon as those people left the community, I heard bursts of cries for help. It should be that a house on the lower floors of the building was attacked by zombies.

Suddenly I saw two men with axes rushing out of the building. The axes were covered in blood. They looked at each other and ran towards the gate of the community.

That’s great, people with good fighting skills will never live a bad life.

In the afternoon, my dad began to water the seeds leisurely. City A welcomed the first snow after the zombie outbreak. City A is located in the north, so it snows a lot in winter. The snow before the end of the world had melted long ago.

My mother found two quilts and put one on my bed.

In northern cities like City A, the winter is all about floor heating, otherwise it is too cold to survive. But nowadays, we can only cover ourselves with more blankets and wear more clothes.

Seeing my father rubbing his hands while watching us, I poured him a cup of hot water. Suddenly, I heard him sneeze, and the three of us immediately felt as if we were facing a serious enemy.

There is no other reason. We really don’t have much medicine. Although I bought a lot of Chinese medicine and related books, my mother still doesn’t fully understand them.

My mother quickly made a bottle of Sanjiu instant powder for my father to drink, and then urged my father to go to bed, “Lao Xu, go to bed quickly.”

In the last days, your body is your capital.

Fortunately, when my dad woke up in the evening, he was already fine. When my mom was cleaning the kitchen, she found a few packets of hot pot base that I bought at some unknown time. She also looked in the refrigerator and saw a few packets of beef and meatballs. She held a family meeting and decided to have a warm hot pot.

Eating hotpot is indeed a luxury, but just eat it once in a while, it will warm you up.

First put the meatballs on the bottom, and then start adding the vegetables after boiling.

We bought a lot of cabbage and potatoes. My mother counted on her fingers a few days ago and estimated that we would not be able to eat all the vegetables we bought by the time they are ripe next year.

My father was afraid that the seeds would be frozen, so he quickly found a military coat, cut a few holes in it to allow air to flow, and then covered the seeds with it.

The red oil soup base is yyds!

I’ve been eating a bit light lately, but now that I’ve been stimulated by this spicy taste, I suddenly feel like I could eat a whole cow!

It smelled so delicious that the family didn’t dare open the window for ventilation. They ate while being steamed until their eyes could hardly be opened. Even so, they still enjoyed the meal very much.

At the end of the meal, my mother suddenly mentioned, “The Chinese New Year is only five or six days away.”

The older generation has always attached great importance to the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year is only five or six days away. If the zombie outbreak hadn’t happened, I would have returned home by now.

I just lie around at home and my mother complains about me every day.

I eat when I wake up, and sleep when I’m full, listening to my mother nagging about urging me to get married.

There are peanuts and sunflower seeds on the coffee table.

But now the family can only think about surviving in the apocalypse.

“Mom, let’s make some dumplings. We bought a lot of flour anyway, and as for meat, the fish we raised should be ready for us to eat next year.”

“OK.”

The snow lasted for two days in a row. I saw seven or eight people trying to rush out of the community, but unfortunately, most of them died at the hands of zombies.

The weather is too cold and human activities are hindered, but it has no effect on zombies, a species that knows nothing.

Through observation over the past few days, I found that the elite male zombie seemed to have weakened a lot.

It may be because I haven’t consumed energy for too long.

I told my mother about this. She took a piece of paper and listed a few chemical equations that I couldn’t understand. “I think someone must have discovered it a long time ago. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time to get rid of the zombies. All we have to do is wait for rescue.”

I forgot to mention that since the sixth day of the zombie outbreak, no drones have flown here.

On New Year’s Eve, the whole family made dumplings together in a lively atmosphere.

I was eating dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork and wanted to drink a Coke, but then I remembered that the weather was unusually cold and it would not be worth it if I got a stomachache after drinking the Coke.

In the middle of the night, the three of us stayed up all night, planning to spend the New Year together. We projected the Spring Festival Gala of a certain year on the iPad. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car engine, like a modified off-road vehicle, making a scary roar.

I quickly jumped up and looked towards the window. My mother turned off the TV very quickly. The living room became dark and quiet. The three of us leaned against the window and watched a line of five or six SUVs drive into the community.

This is only the sixteenth day of the zombie outbreak. Even though my dad had long ago said that many criminals might treat this doomsday as a carnival, it is still too early.

It’s not that we thought of this convoy as bad guys, but as soon as this convoy came in, they blocked the community with their cars. With the help of the dim street lights in the community (the street lights in the community are solar panels), we saw them pulling two women out of a car. The two women were wearing tattered clothes, and judging from their attitude, I’m sure these two women will not have a good ending.

They actually have guns!

You should know that our country does not allow citizens to own guns. Where did this gun come from?

One of them took out a gun and shot a zombie dead with one blow. Fortunately, there were not many zombies here. If this was a downtown area, this shot would have attracted a lot of zombies.

I don’t remember the details of my previous life, but I remember that they started to plunder the community at some point. In three or four days, about 20 to 30 people died. In the end, the smell of blood attracted the zombies. Although they had guns, they were no match for so many zombies, and in the end, they became part of the zombies.

It was because of this reason that the number of zombies in the community eventually skyrocketed!

They can’t be kept!

I briefly told my parents about this matter. My father thought about it for a while.

“These zombies are sensitive to sound and smell. I have a way to attract them. But how can I make them leave? Should I let them roam around the community forever?”

“Dad is right. But we have to make plans early. If I remember correctly, they should start searching the community tomorrow afternoon. They didn’t find our building in my last life, so I’m afraid something will happen in this life.”

The family of three were all worried. “Besides, even if we can attract zombies, we must not expose our location. What if we are seen by other people in the community?”

The room was so dark that I felt inexplicably scared. I was afraid that I would still not be able to do anything if I were to start over again, and I was afraid that I would not be able to protect my parents.

I was afraid that just like in my previous life, I would become a meal for zombies.

My mom suddenly had an idea, “Smell, right? I can use existing materials to make something that smells similar to blood, which will last for about three hours. It should be enough to attract zombies during these three hours. After the three hours are over, we can use drones to release the smell of blood to other uninhabited places.” (It should be possible. Sorry, I’m a chemistry idiot and I made it up.)

That’s right! My mom is a high school biology teacher after all. You know, for most people, high school is the peak period for knowledge storage, and mathematics, physics, and chemistry are inseparable. Since my mom said it’s okay, she must be very sure.

I bought the drone when I had nothing to do. I bought it simply because there was a lot of hype online. I never expected that I would use it now.

The drone’s flight diameter is eight kilometers. There is a reservoir three kilometers away and there is no one living nearby, so it can be dropped there.

My mother added excitedly, “If it’s too far away and the smell doesn’t work, we can control the drone to the reservoir and drop it several times along the way until the zombies are gone.”

Now that I had come up with a solution, I sent my parents to bed after I stayed on duty and implemented the plan early the next morning.

The next morning, my mother got up before daybreak. Since the internet and power were cut off, the quartz clock hanging in the house came in handy. It was only five in the morning.

“Mom, why don’t you get some more sleep?”

“I have to hurry up and finish off those people outside, or I won’t be able to sleep well.”

As she spoke, she went to the attic. When she was stockpiling supplies, my mother bought a lot of miscellaneous things, thinking that in the end of the world, we would have to be self-sufficient, so it would be better to buy more. I didn’t expect that it would come in handy so soon.

My mother had just entered the attic when my father got up. Seeing that my mother was very busy there, he went into the kitchen to cook.

I simply cooked some porridge, made an omelet, fried some pork tenderloin to wrap the omelet, and brushed it with some sweet noodle sauce.

Just as I was about to take it out, my mother had already prepared the reagents.

I went to the utility room and hurriedly found the drone. The chemical reagent was generally red in color. I found the sanitary napkin and threw it in. Then I took it out and put the sanitary napkin stained with chemical reagent on the drone. After confirming that it could be put down, the three of us started staring at the drone.

The building we are in is located at the innermost part of the community, so putting it down quietly like this will not attract attention.

For safety reasons, my dad used a drone to place the sanitary pad on a tree behind the security room. After the drone came back, my mom quickly started cleaning up the bloody smell in the house. Although the effect was only three hours, what if?

To be on the safe side, I also contributed my own perfume.

After I heated up the meal and took two bites, I heard gunshots in the neighborhood. My dad grabbed the omelet he hadn’t finished eating and went to keep an eye on us.

I saw a group of zombies gathered in the community security room at some point. Some of them were torn and tattered, and it was obvious that they were infected in the early stages. Some of them only had pale faces, and it was obvious that they had mutated not long ago.

The group of people were already in disarray when they saw the zombies surrounding them more and more. But if they wanted to leave, their car was still parked near the door of the security room, so they had no choice but to fight their way out of this pile of zombies.

There was constant sound of gunfire. I didn’t know if they had broken into some armory, otherwise where did they get so many bullets?

The living people are intelligent creatures. Even though those intelligent creatures have guns, they cannot withstand the large number of zombies after all.

I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a leader among this group of zombies, a city beauty wearing a skirt. I called her a city beauty because she was dressed in a Chanel style.

She was seen standing behind a pile of zombies, not moving forward, but through the telescope, one could see that the urban beauty’s hands seemed to be directing something.

I quickly told my parents about this situation. My father took the telescope with a serious face and observed it for a while. He nodded slowly and said, “It seems that the zombies have evolved intelligence. I’m afraid they will continue to evolve. Now the key point is, to what extent will they evolve?”

This matter was really too heavy. After my mother had cleared the dishes, she saw my father and I standing there with our cheeks in our hands and sighing, and she couldn’t help but reach out and pat us.

“Okay, there’s no point in thinking about this. Instead of thinking about this, we might as well think about whether we watered the vegetables today. Also, Qingqing, you should go to bed. Don’t worry.”

My mother said as she pushed me to go to the room to sleep. After my mother said this, my father stopped sighing and went to water the seeds with the kettle.

The snow had not yet completely melted, and the battle at the entrance to the community was finally over. Only three of the gunmen managed to get into the car and escape.

There were spots of blood everywhere on the white snow.

The twentieth day of the apocalypse.

Today, a drone suddenly appeared outside, which does not match my memory of my previous life. But in order to reduce consumption in my previous life, I ate very little every day and usually slept drowsily. Thinking about it this way, maybe there were drones in my previous life, but I just didn’t hear them when I was sleeping.

The drone said that the country had established a security base in the coastal area, which was guarded and very safe, and called on residents to go to the security base on their own.

Along with the drone came supplies.

Supplies tied in red bags dropped from the plane, which contained medicines, a few bottles of mineral water, and a few loaves of bread. It was also stated that the supplies would only be provided for five days. To put it bluntly, it was forcing everyone to go to the safe base.

As soon as the supplies were scattered, I saw many people rushing down to pick up the supplies. Fortunately, the zombies in this community were lured away by my mother’s method, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died at the hands of zombies.

My father saw the supplies on the ground and said while watering the seeds,

“Fortunately, there are not many people in this community. What if there are many people in our community? There will be limited resources and unlimited greed. By then, there will be no need for zombies, humans will be able to destroy themselves.”

I agree with you.

In the afternoon, I saw several cars driving out of the community.

These cars are obviously familiar to each other.

It should be that several families have agreed to go to the safe base together. If there are more people on the road, the chances of surviving zombies will be higher.

But is it really safer to have more people?

The supplies from the government really only lasted five days. On the sixth day, more than a dozen cars drove out of the community, but through our observation, the family that had gone out to look for supplies did not leave.

I think so.

There was a child and an old man in that family, so the couple should be the only ones capable of fighting. Why would they go out when they had enough supplies?

On the twenty-eighth day of the zombie outbreak, my dad was on duty when he discovered that a drone was released from the building across the street and was heading straight towards us.

The family of three exchanged glances and took the note down from the drone.

“Hello, we have been observing you for a long time. We have no ill intentions. You should also know that we have sufficient supplies, and I believe you will not be short of them either. We want to form an alliance with you and keep watch together.”

I asked my parents for their opinions, and my mom looked at the dark circles under my and my dad’s eyes and nodded.

Although we had enough food and clothing, it was too tiring to watch over him for eight hours a day. Especially since my mother couldn’t stay up late, my father and I took turns watching over him at night.

You can’t really sleep without any worries during the day.

In just one month, I got dark circles under my eyes.

“Let’s form an alliance. Even if they can only keep watch over there as a couple, it will be much easier for us.”

When the drone flew back, the family also gave them a bunch of green vegetables. Unexpectedly, the family said they could have three people monitor the drone.

My dad was very happy. “This way, each of us only needs to monitor for four hours a day. This is a lot easier.”

The alliance between the two families was thus established. As a sign of friendship, my mother found a bottle of calcium tablets for the elderly and put it in.

There are elderly people in that family, and although they have a lot of supplies, they probably don’t have the leisure to buy calcium tablets. After all, calcium tablets are not a necessity.

After adding three people on duty, the family of three felt much more relaxed.

13

On the twenty-ninth day of the zombie outbreak, it snowed again.

Since the zombie outbreak, even people like me who are slow to react can clearly feel the abnormal temperature.

Although City A is cold in winter, it is not as cold as this.

The snow falls one after another.

My fingers were so cold that they turned red. My mother brought two quilts and a few military coats to the sofa, and then moved the folding bed at home over to it. We leaned on the sofa and played poker.

The family across the street is on duty now, so we are happy to have some free time.

I also opened a bag of potato chips and ate them while encouraging my mother to have some as well. My father was probably about to lose again, so he quickly said he was going to cook.

Since the weather has been unusually cold, most of the dishes we eat are stewed in one pot, which is warm and comfortable to eat.

Today I had noodles with chicken breast and some hot sauce. I ate a big bowl of it and after finishing it I finally felt warm.

My mother put the melted snow water in a little more water and used it to water the vegetables after making sure it was not too cold. Although there is enough water now, we still need to be prepared for any eventuality. We don’t know when the zombies will end, so it’s always a good idea to save some water.

The snow didn’t stop. The heavy snow covered the bloodstains and even the smell. There was only white snow between the sky and the earth.

I haven’t seen anyone leaving or coming in the community these days. I guess, except for my family and the family across the street, everyone else in the community has gone to the safe base, or they didn’t survive this cold winter.

The green vegetables planted by my father are growing well. We have eaten a batch of them and also gave some to another family, who gave us two eggs in return.

Eggs are a rare commodity, mainly because my father dared not raise chickens because he was afraid of the noise. But my mother said that rich families might build a quiet chicken coop at home, one so that they can eat eggs with peace of mind, and two to avoid disturbing the neighbors. I guess that family must have a chicken coop at home.

My house is only a little over 100 square meters. It’s crowded enough just to store supplies, so where would I find the space to build a chicken coop?

That night, my mother made egg drops with eggs and added some flour whiskers. I felt refreshed after eating it.

When I went to bed at night, the north wind was blowing, the weather was really abnormal, and I was so cold that I couldn’t sleep. When I bought supplies, I asked if I should buy an electric blanket, but my parents thought that our electricity was only basic and it was really not enough to operate an electric blanket, so they gave up.

When I was about to keep an eye on them, the door to my parents’ room opened. “Qingqing, is it too cold?”

My mom got up and dragged down three large boxes of hot packs from the attic. “I bought these on the last day your dad and I went out. We were afraid that the weather would be too cold and we wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night.”

After everyone had one tablet, I took out another pack, which contained ten tablets. “Let’s give this to that family tomorrow. There are elderly people at home, so they probably won’t be able to sleep well. Anyway, we only take one tablet each at night, and there are three boxes, which should be enough.”

Sure enough, after the things were delivered the next day, the family sent a piece of meat.

There was also a note on it, which was obviously written by the child, “Thank you, my legs are not good and I am afraid of the cold. With this, I can finally sleep well.”

In fact, the main reason for deciding to form an alliance was that this family looked good.

Even in peacetime, there are people who disregard the safety of the elderly, let alone now in the end times?

Besides, that family treats the elderly really well.

I clearly saw that when the couple came back with the supplies, they took a lot of soy milk for the elderly.

No matter what, one’s heart should not be bad.

Based on the exchanges over the past few days, I increasingly feel that this decision is the right one.

The thirty-first day of the zombie outbreak.

It rained and the snow on the road turned into ice.

A few zombies came over, and one of them slipped on the ice and never got up again.

I was in a daze thinking about the two books I gave to the child yesterday, and I don’t know how far he has read them.

Finally, a child who is studying came, and it suddenly aroused the enthusiasm of my parents who had been retired for many years.

Assign some homework every day and then correct it.

I wrote down every mistake and every thing I didn’t understand. Things that were everywhere before the end of the world now inexplicably gave me hope.

It’s not that the two families haven’t thought about living in the same building. After all, there’s no one next door to my house, and I have the key.

Although it was originally said to be used for garbage disposal, my father and I discussed it and decided to throw the garbage into the small lake behind.

According to the observations of our two families, there are at least two families within a radius of five kilometers.

The two families are definitely safe.

The reason we finally decided not to live together was that it was inconvenient to come here.

Although it is close, what if? What if something unexpected happens on the way? We have enough supplies and can just lie down, so let’s not do that.

The decision was finally passed by majority.

My mother sent over the dozen or so dumplings left in the refrigerator.

Dumplings require a lot of flour and fillings. It’s not that we are stingy, but we really need to save on materials.

The man’s surname is Hu and the mother’s surname is Wu.

Before the end of the world, Mr. Hu was a coach at a fitness center, and Ms. Wu was a doctor.

Ms. Wu was on vacation that day and planned to take the elderly and children out for fun with Mr. Hu in the afternoon.

In this way, the family was lucky enough to survive.

Doctor, what a scarce profession in these last days.

The time they went out, they almost emptied out an entire pharmacy.

There was really no shortage of medicine, and they even asked if our family needed any.

On the forty-eighth day after the apocalypse, a woman came running in from nowhere. She was wearing a down jacket, sneakers, and had messy hair. She was shouting as she ran. She didn’t say anything, but she was probably just subconsciously trying to relieve her fear by shouting.

We didn’t plan to speak out to help because we were afraid that the family across the street would speak out.

Fortunately, the family had obviously thought a lot. We had clearly observed that there was no one within a five-kilometer radius, only zombies. Where did this woman come from? How did she get here?

How did an unarmed woman fight her way out of the siege of zombies and come to this neighborhood?

I didn’t live to this time in my previous life, so I don’t know what happened. But it didn’t stop our two families from being on high alert.

I don’t know which building the woman ran into and she disappeared for a while.

Another truck arrived at the gate of the community, and more than a dozen young people in their twenties, both men and women, jumped out of the truck.

I quickly lowered all the shades in the house. Before, we would pull up the shades a little in order to plant seeds, but now we can’t take care of the seeds.

My mother also gave up cooking and came out of the kitchen.

I took out some bread and boiled some water.

“Just make do with it. Be careful.”

In the afternoon, the group of people had not left yet. They took out some food from the car, and more than a dozen people gathered there to eat.

I’ve been getting enough sleep lately, and the weather is cold, so even my parents have been sleeping in.

At night, the whole family was keeping watch.

I saw them put out the fire, leaving two people to keep watch, and the rest got in the car, probably to sleep.

I noticed with my sharp eyes that the woman from the daytime seemed to be getting closer and closer to the car full of people, and I couldn’t figure out what she was going to do.

But the woman was seen scratching herself with something as she approached. When she got closer, the zombies that had sneaked into the community a few days ago also came over.

The person who was looking for her discovered it and quickly woke the person up, and the woman rushed over like a madman.

Finally, the people in the car left in a hurry.

We don’t know what happened between them that made the woman so determined to bite off a piece of their flesh, regardless of her own life.

After being bitten by the zombie, the woman started spinning in circles.

Seeing this, everyone’s mood became depressed. My mother asked, “If we rescue the girl during the day, will she be able to survive?”

“Mom, we can only save ourselves.”

In the second half of the night, we were probably being watched by that family, so we each took a hot pack and went to bed.

Since I sent a bag of hot packs last time, I sent two more bags, which made the family say they didn’t want them anymore.

They said it was just for the elderly, there were plenty of quilts at home, and they could help the rest of them keep warm.

The sun hasn’t been shining these days.

Except for two refrigerators, other electrical appliances that require electricity will be connected when needed.

Come to think of it, I haven’t taken a bath for a long time.

The weather was cold and we needed to save water, so no one mentioned taking a shower.

On the fiftieth day of the zombie outbreak, the leeks planted at home sprouted green. I was so excited that I did nothing all day but stare at the leeks sprouting. I would check to see if the leeks had grown before drinking a glass of water, and I would check to see if the leeks had grown after dinner.

There were still quite a few lemons in the refrigerator. Whole lemons can be stored in the refrigerator for more than three months. My mother bought a lot of them at that time.

I took out honey from the refrigerator and cut some lemons to make honey lemonade.

The family has a good meal plan every day, and from the zombie outbreak until now, they haven’t even had a mouth ulcer.

Since the leeks have turned green, I guess when the weather gets warmer, the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. that we planted will be edible.

The apples I stockpiled were fine except for a little wilting. The oranges didn’t look so good though. There were a lot left, and it would be a waste if we couldn’t finish them. My dad used a drone to deliver them to Mr. Hu’s family. Drones can’t carry a lot of weight, so it’s rare that my dad has the patience.

Finally the transportation was completed and we received five eggs from Mr. Hu’s family.

These days we learned that Mr. Hu’s family does have a chicken coop. It was just a whim of Mrs. Hu at the beginning, but she never thought it would be so useful in the end times.

However, they only raised two hens, and they started laying eggs about a week before the end of the world.

Only one or two eggs are laid a day, so Mr. Hu’s family saved these five eggs over several days.

My mother thought that Mr. Hu’s family had elderly and children, so she sent him some vitamin C.

In the evening, I cooked noodles and laid three soft-boiled eggs, leaving two for later use.

“Mom, remember to eat the egg when you and my dad wake up tomorrow morning.”

“You and your dad can eat it. I don’t like eggs.”

Although we have sufficient supplies, things like meat and eggs will be gone once they are eaten.

The last time I cooked cola chicken wings, my parents kept waving their hands and saying they didn’t like it, but how could I not understand?

My mother loves to eat chicken wings, and my father likes sweet food. In recent years, as they are older, they eat less, but it is impossible for them not to like it.

I had been bored at home for too long, and this made me angry. “Okay, if you don’t want to eat, I won’t eat either.”

After a while, I spoke up. “Dad, Mom, we have enough supplies. I know you are afraid that we won’t have enough supplies at the end, so you left everything to me. But think about it, if we don’t have enough supplies, how can I survive if I am the only one left?”

“Don’t you know me? I don’t know anything. What would I do without you?”

After a lot of persuasion, I finally convinced my dad. He didn’t say anything on the surface, but quietly increased the time he ran on the treadmill every day.

When I got up in the early morning to keep watch, I saw my dad had just finished keeping watch and was about to go to bed, so I quickly gave him a hot pack and said, “Dad, go to bed.”

It seemed that the weather had warmed up overnight, but to be on the safe side, my mother insisted that the whole family not put away the quilts. As expected, the temperature difference at night was too big, and if we didn’t cover ourselves enough, we would definitely catch a cold.

It seems that since the weather started to warm up, the number of zombies has increased again.

Groups of zombies appeared out of nowhere, covered in blood.

Previously, we observed that there seemed to be only isolated cases of zombies becoming intelligent, and so far, there has only been one such case.

Most of them still followed their instincts and ran around following the smell of blood and movement.

Every time I went to the toilet on the rooftop, I could smell the stench in the air getting worse.

It seems that after a whole winter of fermentation, those who are directly disgusted will be kicked out.

On the fifty-ninth day of the zombie outbreak, the leeks grew very quickly and were ready to be eaten. My mother happily harvested the leeks, gave some to Mr. Hu’s family, and let the rest continue to grow.

When the drone came back, it brought back half a bag of fat beef and a note.

“Attention!! There seems to be a zombie tide!! It’s hard to see clearly from far away!! There are two of us on guard here tonight, you should send one to guard as well!!”

The whole family began to enter the first level alert. I hurriedly cooked some porridge, and then checked the doors, windows and blackout curtains.

In the evening, my dad and I stayed behind to take the shift. My mom kept turning back to remind us, “If you’re hungry, remember to heat up the porridge in the microwave. If you need anything, remember to call me.”

Around three or four in the morning, I suddenly heard a huge noise, like an earthquake, and the entire residential building seemed to vibrate.

The solar street lights in the community had long been broken. All I could see was a dark mass, like a black sea with no visible boundaries. I was so scared that I subconsciously trembled. My father was relieved when he saw the tide of corpses. He went to heat up some porridge and brought it to me. “I don’t think they will stay.”

Inexplicably, as the sun came out, the zombies stopped moving, and only a large group of zombies could be seen not far from the community.

My mother was so scared when she got up in the morning. I patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Mom, don’t cook today. There are so many zombies. If they make any noise, it will be too dangerous. Just eat some bread.”

After waking up from my afternoon nap, I started to observe from the window again. “Are they afraid of the sun? Why? When the zombies first broke out, I remember they were not afraid of the sun.”

It was the sixtieth day of the zombie outbreak. My father and I stayed behind to work together that night. My mother couldn’t sleep, so she came over to work with us and cut the last few oranges.

These oranges have almost no moisture left, so they just taste like oranges.

From dark till now, this group of zombies has not moved.

No, to be precise, from early morning till now, this group of zombies has not moved.

At about midnight, the zombies finally moved.

There were so many zombies that just their movement was earth-shaking. I couldn’t help but clench my hands.

Fortunately, the tide of zombies did not pass through this community, but went straight south from the front of the community.

I saw clearly that this group of zombies had no sense of pain and could only move forward. They would not take detours when encountering obstacles, but would just rush forward one after another.

How powerful is this tide of zombies?

The seven-story residential building collapsed under the continuous attack of zombies.

I was so scared that I couldn’t speak. When I turned around, I saw that my dad, who was the calmest person, was sweating profusely.

We dare not imagine what would happen if a tide of zombies passed through this community?

We will just be trapped in the tide of zombies, with dead ends all around us.

Maybe she was really scared, my mother had a fever the next day.

It was my dad who noticed something was wrong. It was already afternoon and my mom hadn’t gotten up yet, so he hurried over to check.

Only then did I realize that my mother was lying on the bed with a flushed face, and her forehead was terribly hot when I touched it.

My father quickly found the medicine box, and I cooked some porridge until it was soft and mushy before giving it to my mother to eat.

On the sixty-seventh day of the zombie outbreak, I cut some spinach and sent some to the other side using a drone, and received three buns and two eggs in return.

This bun looks like it’s homemade.

I suddenly thought of the many bags of flour I had bought before.

My family is from the north and we prefer noodles, but since the zombie outbreak, we eat more rice because noodles are not easy to make.

At noon, the family discussed and decided to make dumplings and wontons.

Dumplings filled with leeks and eggs.

I have harvested two waves of leeks. They grow fast and age fast.

There weren’t many eggs, and we didn’t stockpile them. We just had the ones that Mr. Hu’s family gave us that we didn’t finish.

Wontons stuffed with pork and beef.

This was a big project, so I quickly washed my hands and went to help make dumplings.

After wrapping, I gave half of it to Mr. Hu’s family. Mr. Hu’s family is really nice. It can be said that in the end times, Mr. Hu’s family gave us the most sincere kindness.

On the 191st day of the zombie outbreak, there should be no living people in the city. After that zombie wave, we observed that many people fled in groups by car.

There weren’t many supplies in City A to begin with, not to mention that before the zombie outbreak, there were two epidemic control zones in City A, so express deliveries couldn’t get in.

Over the past six months, my mother has analyzed the causes of the zombie outbreak more than once, and each time she has speculated that it was related to the epidemic. My mother thinks that this zombie outbreak was caused by a virus from abroad, which broke out taking advantage of the epidemic.

Since the beginning of summer, the stench in the air has become more severe, and occasionally you can see a few wandering zombies, dressed in tatters and covered in blood.

The foul smell in the air is so severe that I have to wear two layers of masks every time I go to the rooftop to use the toilet.

Moreover, the weather was extremely abnormal and unbearably hot. A conservative estimate would be over 40 degrees Celsius.

The only good news is that the cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. that I planted can be eaten. But I was afraid that they would be discovered, so I planted only a little on the balcony. The good news is that my family has two balconies, so it is not a small amount.

After that, we successively delivered four cucumbers, four tomatoes, two bunches of cherry tomatoes, several eggplants and peppers to Mr. Hu’s family.

Mr. Hu’s family was obviously very happy. They sent over a few bottles of cooling oil and wrote a note asking my mother how she grew the plants and why all the plants they grew died.

We have hot packs in winter, but what about in summer?

It was so hot that I couldn’t sleep, so I just packed up my things and slept on the floor in the living room.

Put the water in the refrigerator during the day, let it freeze, take it out at night and put it in the living room, at least it will be a little cool.

Ever since the weather turned hot, I have to take a shower. Fortunately, although the weather is abnormal, there is still as much rain as before.

Put the collected rainwater through water purification tablets to purify it, then boil it and it will become bath water.

The remaining amount is just enough for washing clothes.

On the 213th day of the zombie outbreak, I got up early in the morning and tore off the calendar. Suddenly I realized that the zombie outbreak had lasted for more than half a year. Over the past seven months, we have witnessed this city slowly becoming lifeless.

We seem to be just living numbly, eating, drinking, exercising, and waiting for the country to rescue us. If it weren’t for Mr. Hu’s family, we would have been left alone on an isolated island, and I think we would have gone crazy long ago.

Suddenly I remembered that my mother’s birthday is in two days, so our family discussed and decided to celebrate my mother’s birthday.

Although it is the end of the world, at least the family is together.

I had just finished making the cake and was about to deliver it to the other side when I heard the sound of an engine before I even opened the curtains.

It’s the sound of a big motorcycle.

Mr. Hu’s family was on duty today. Just as they were about to issue a drone warning, the motorcycle team was already approaching at a very fast speed.

We quickly checked if there was anything missing in the house, and then observed it quietly after the check.

Looks like a proper motorcade.

They were dressed in uniform dark green clothes and had guns on their waists. After stopping at the entrance of the community, they split into two teams. One team checked everywhere for zombies, and the other team took off the bags on their backs.

I have good eyesight and could clearly see that the bag contained purified water and bread.

This group of people did not search the building. They cleaned out the security room at night, left someone to keep watch, and the rest of them went to sleep.

We dare not act rashly.

The next morning, the group packed up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, they cleaned up the zombies roaming around the community.

A captain in the team shouted, “Please wait a little longer. I promise you, we can solve this in three months at most!”

A man at the end of the team took down the supplies hanging on the motorcycle and said, “Residents, if there are any living people, we left supplies for you. We still have a mission to complete and cannot guarantee your safety while traveling with us.”

After the group left, I almost cried for joy, and my mother almost cried with her hands covering her mouth. “It seems that the vaccine should have been successfully developed. Now we just have to wait.”

It’s day 215 of the zombie outbreak, and we finally see the light.

Neither of our families took that package of supplies. We have plenty of supplies and won’t be short of anything. It’s better for us to stay home and be safe.

Another point is, what if someone else passes by? Leave some hope for others.

I also made milk tea with taro balls and sent four cups and half of a cake to Mr. Hu’s family using a drone. My mom held my and my dad’s hands as she made a wish, “I hope this catastrophe will end soon. I hope our family will be safe.”

On the 219th day of the zombie outbreak, the temperature reached a new high of 47 degrees, and the air was filled with a foul smell.

I was so hot that I couldn’t eat. I finally managed to eat two bites of shredded chicken cold noodles but I couldn’t eat any more.

My mother found the tomatoes that were frozen in water yesterday and gave a few to Mr. Hu’s family. She mixed the rest with sugar, which was sour and sweet and appetizing.

The weather is too hot, so we just sleep on a cool mat at night and cover ourselves with a coat.

I finally finished washing the clothes despite the scorching heat and was sweating all over.

There has been plenty of sunshine these days, and the solar panels have sufficient power stored. It’s not that the air conditioner cannot be powered, but that the air conditioner outdoor unit is installed outside, so turning on the air conditioner is bound to make noise.

When they slept at night, the two fans kept running non-stop. We knew that the elderly always suffer from summer heat, so we found mung beans in the small attic and boiled a whole pot of mung bean soup. After it finally cooled down, we quickly used a drone to deliver it to Mr. Hu’s family.

I received three eggs from Mr. Hu’s family.

This is the best thing they can do.

Mr. Hu and his family seldom ask us for anything. Firstly, they have enough supplies themselves, and secondly, they stick to their duties.

The only time he asked for something was a few days ago when he asked us if we had any cooling patches or something because it was so hot that the elderly and children couldn’t sleep.

But this thing is rarely sold in supermarkets, and we didn’t have any in stock, so I rummaged through boxes and found a small fan I bought when I was in school, the kind that is small and can be held in the hand. Thinking that Mr. Hu has a large family, I gave him the small fan and a few water-soaked tomatoes.

On the 222nd day of the zombie outbreak, there was a sudden rainstorm. The rain was so heavy that you could not see anything. You could only see dense raindrops falling. It rained for about three hours, and it got heavier and heavier. Suddenly, the sky darkened and hail started to fall.

The temperature dropped suddenly. My mother took out a few coats and the whole family watched the rain while wearing coats.

The rain was so heavy that at night I saw that the lake behind the community had risen to the surface and the ground was full of sewage.

“Mom and Dad, this rain is really too heavy. I will stay on duty tonight to see how high the water level rises.”

When my dad woke up in the middle of the night, he told me to go back to sleep and he watched me.

When I woke up the next day, it was still raining.

Although the solar energy reserves are sufficient, we dare not squander it. Fortunately, there is still hot water in the thermos at home, so each of us eats a bucket of instant noodles to get by.

It was very hot a few days ago, but it seemed that the temperature suddenly rose overnight.

The water in the lake has overflowed. I think with the intensity of the rain, the first floor of this community may not be able to be saved. However, we don’t have to worry as we live on a high floor.

Seeing that the rain wasn’t going to stop anytime soon, I gave up on staring at it.

In the afternoon, I saw a lot of zombies washed into the community by the rain. They were floating in the water, dark red and emitting a fishy smell.

“I don’t know what happened to that team. I hope they can find a place to hide from the rain.”

The rain lasted for three days. The climate has been abnormal since the zombie outbreak.

Just as I was about to use the drone, I heard the sound of a motorcycle. When I looked again, it was the same people from that day, but their clothes were dirty and their bodies were covered in blood and dust.

They were still divided into two teams. They found a place to sit down and started eating bread and drinking water.

There is an old radio at home, which can still be used after my father tinkered with it. In the past few days, we learned through the radio that some people were indeed carrying out rescue operations, and by observing the actions of these people, we can be sure that they are organized.

My mother had already packed a small portion of ribs and put it on the drone, “Send it to them.”

Almost at the moment when our drone flew out, Mr. Hu’s family’s drone also flew out.

The team stood up, armed with guns, and my heart ached as I watched them. In this apocalypse, they must have suffered a lot of malicious intent.

The two drones stopped not far from them. The man who looked like the captain checked carefully and found sweet and sour pork ribs and braised hairtail fish, as well as some rice. The quantity was not much, mainly because the drones could not carry enough weight.

Suddenly I wanted to cry. The end of the world is really a test for people. Although we have no worries about food and drink, we are still frightened every day.

I drew aside the curtains and opened the window to the point where I could stick my head out. “Come on, guys! Be careful!”

The little boy from Mr. Hu’s family also stretched his head and saluted.

That group of people saw us, and I also saw some people in the group seemed to be crying. This was the excitement of seeing living people in the end times and feeling their kindness.

“Would you like to come up and sit for a while? I’ll make you a meal!”

After the team saluted, they shook their heads. My dad called back the drone and delivered the meals cooked for lunch one by one.

When the team left, they told us to wait a little longer, hold on a little longer, and give them two more months, and they would definitely give us a safe and stable living environment.

Before the team left, my dad sent a lot of mung bean soup down there using a drone. It was cooked before dinner and although it wasn’t cold yet, it was still refreshing.

We know we can’t do much and can only do our bit.

On the 232nd day of the apocalypse, that group of people came again. My mother thought that it might be because our community was sparsely populated and safe, so we didn’t have to watch out for sneak attacks from behind among the survivors in the sea of ​​corpses.

The end of the world is a carnival for some people without moral sense.

We were almost familiar with them. When we saw them coming, we started using drones to deliver food downstairs one trip at a time. There were few cups at home, so my dad used empty mineral water bottles, filled them with mung bean soup, and delivered them down one trip at a time.

When it was sent down for the last time, there was a note hanging on the drone asking if they could please clear out the zombies in the corridor.

The team agreed, since they had to clear out the zombies anyway, so it didn’t matter.

My father took me to guard the fire escape on the 18th floor. When we heard someone knocking on the door, my father opened the fire escape.

What I saw were a dozen young men in military uniforms. The floor was too high and the weather was too hot, so they were sweating all over.

My dad is a teacher as expected, he used his eloquent words to persuade the group of people to go upstairs. Upstairs, my mom had already cooked a table of food.

“I’m sorry for tricking you guys into coming up like this.”

A group of people were eating and chatting with my mother.

“You are so lucky to have found so much food at the beginning of the outbreak. You don’t know that in just a few days, the outside world has become a living hell.”

My mother made up a story about coming over to open a shop with her daughter, mixing true and false stories together.

Since the zombie outbreak, our family has never gone out, so naturally we don’t know what the situation is outside, so I can’t help but ask more questions.

It is almost as we guessed, this is a global disaster. The rescue started in the heart of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Many cities are now safe and are undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. However, the citizens have suffered heavy losses and too many people have died in this disaster.

Maybe because they ate too much and talked too much, the one who was obviously younger in the team almost cried. They were also afraid. Who wouldn’t be afraid of death? But if they put on this military uniform, they had to be responsible for it.

When I sent them away, I also gave them a lot of canned food. This stuff is small in size and tastes good. It can improve their meals. What’s the point of just drinking mineral water and bread every day?

When the group left, they reminded my father to lock the corridor again to ensure their own safety.

268 days after the zombie outbreak, I was making cakes. Before the apocalypse, I was interested in baking, but I could never calm down to do it. Now I can finally calm down.

The team came again, and along with them came the sound of a drone broadcast.

“Dear citizens, winter will eventually pass and hope will always come. City A is now safe and the country has stationed defense personnel in City A. We will do everything we can to ensure your safety.”

When I heard the announcement, I burst into tears. “It’s finally over.”

On the 280th day of the zombie outbreak, all zombies across the country were wiped out.

On the 317th day of the zombie outbreak, the last zombie in the world was killed in Europe. This catastrophe that lasted for nearly a year finally came to an end.

Although it has brought irreversible harm to mankind, as long as people are alive, life will continue.

Extra: Mr. Hu and his family

It had been more than three months since the catastrophe ended, but Hu Song would still occasionally wake up in fright, dreaming of a zombie outbreak.

He really felt that he was very lucky.

He was a trainer at a gym, and his wife was a doctor at a hospital. They were both on vacation that day, and their son was not feeling well, so they simply took a leave. All these luck combined allowed them to live safely.

Hu Song remembered clearly that on that day he went to the chicken coop to feed the chickens as usual. The chicken coop was built by his mother when she was bored.

Mr. Hu’s family is wealthy. His father died early, and his mother lives with them. The old lady is old, but the spirit of growing flowers that is engraved in the bones of the Chinese people has made his mother like raising chickens. Fearing complaints, she built a chicken coop and installed sound-proofing devices for the whole family.

At first, Mr. Hu did not support this, thinking it was troublesome, but his wife said, “It’s so healthy to eat eggs laid by our own chickens now.”

Since his wife had spoken, he naturally couldn’t say anything.

Before entering the chicken house, Hu Song suddenly heard a scream. The sound was so loud that it woke up Ms. Wu and her son. The old lady was cooking and came over to see what was happening when she heard the scream.

Hu Song was extremely grateful that he lived on the 17th floor. If he lived on the 1st or 2nd floor, given the old lady’s temper, she would definitely go downstairs to watch the fun.

It was immediately clear that something was wrong, and my son, who was in middle school, suddenly asked, “Why do they look so much like zombies?”

Mr. Hu and his wife looked at each other, and Ms. Wu suddenly remembered that she had heard some words from the ICU doctor a few days ago that made her feel uneasy. The virus might have evolved again, and she was really afraid that it might evolve like a zombie.

What did she say at the time? “It’s worthy of being a virus from a laboratory.”

The two of them thought of it immediately. Yes, it was zombies. They were also fans of zombie movies, so how could they not know such obvious features?

“Xiaoyuan, you and grandma are at home! Don’t go out! Mom and Dad, go lock the emergency exit!”

Mr. Hu and Ms. Wu went out. They had originally planned to buy a few more floors so that Xiaoyuan could live downstairs when she got married. The large factory nearby was also about to be built and could be rented out later. So they owned the 13th to 17th floors. Because the large factory had not been built yet, the house had not been rented out.

This way, they are much safer.

Before the two locked the emergency passage and returned home, Xiao Yuan had already explained the situation to the old lady. The old lady had lived for half her life, so Xiao Yuan was afraid that the old lady would not believe him, so he turned on the TV to explain to her. When they came back, the old lady was already counting the inventory, “Xiao Song, the food at home is enough for at most a week.”

Yes, they don’t like to stock up, and always buy when they need to eat. Even when they were locked up in the community and went hungry in the early days of the outbreak, they did not change.

The family was eating breakfast with heavy hearts. Ms. Wu received a message from a colleague in the hospital saying that the hospital had been completely occupied and they could not go back. The epidemic had broken out all over the world, so they had to stock up in the early stages because rescue would take time.

This colleague is an orphan, ten years younger than Ms. Wu. She often goes home with Ms. Wu for dinner. The whole family treats her like a little sister. Yesterday, Ms. Wu invited her to come over for dinner, and the little girl smiled and agreed.

After one night, the little girl said to her, Sister, I can’t go out, take care of yourself.

Ms. Wu was almost crying. After dinner, she discussed with Mr. Hu about stocking up on supplies. Although the property management had sent a message, there was no action, so they knew they could only rely on themselves.

Just as I mentioned using sound to distract the sound, the old lady spoke up, “I’ll distract this thing. Xiaoyuan is still young, and I’m old and have lived enough. Even if I turn into that thing, I can’t run fast and I’m no threat to you.”

“mom!”

“Okay, stop talking.”

The old lady was a good mother and mother-in-law. She spoiled her like her own daughter. She never interfered in their affairs and never took sides. Even if they had a big fight, she would just cook dinner and say, “Let’s talk after we finish eating.”

It is their blessing to have the old lady around.

Xiaoyuan suddenly said, “Dad, I remembered, didn’t we buy a drone last year?”

Last year, Xiaoyuan did very well in his primary school graduation exam, so Hu Song bought him a drone without hesitation.

“yes.”

Unfortunately, the drone broke down. Xiaoyuan patted his chest and guaranteed that if he was given a day, it would definitely be fixed.

Mr. Hu and Ms. Wu took this opportunity to observe the habits of the zombies.

On the first day of observation, they found that the zombies seemed to react slower in the morning when the sun just came out. Xiaoyuan’s drone was repaired in the evening and needed to be tested, so they observed it again.

As a result, it was discovered the next day that the zombies would react more slowly in the middle of the night.

Since they had observed some characteristics of zombie activities, the couple decided to leave in the morning. They parked their car inside the community, and they would be much safer once they were in the car.

The old lady made a list, obviously fearing that they would take things in a panic. Mr. Hu thought about it and decided to add solar panels, just in case there was a power outage.

The family decided that Xiaoyuan and the old lady would release the drone on the 13th floor to send out a false signal so that if anyone came up to grab it they would go to the wrong floor.

The next morning, the couple began to pack up. Before leaving, Ms. Wu bent down and kissed her son’s forehead, “Xiaoyuan, if your father and I can’t come back, you and grandma must be well.”

“What nonsense! You two will definitely come back!”

After going out according to the method discussed yesterday, they found that there were a lot of terrifying zombies outside, but fortunately their community was located in a remote area and there were not too many zombies.

Mr. Hu is a gym coach, and Ms. Wu has learned Sanda. In the end, they all returned safely. The SUV
was not big, and they filled it with canned food and fast food. When they turned back, they discussed that they would go out again after sending it back, and they would hurry up to stock up, as there would definitely be more and more zombies in the later period.

After they sent the things back, the old lady and Xiaoyuan refused to let them go no matter what. Hu Song patted the old lady and said, “Mom, you taught me from a young age that people should be upright. Now, Xiaowu and I are standing upright to protect you and Xiaoyuan.”

“Xiaoyuan, you are a boy, be brave!”

This trip was not very smooth. When Mr. Hu was carrying water, a zombie suddenly appeared from nowhere. Fortunately, Ms. Wu rushed over in time and killed it with one shot.

This time they had a lot of stuff, and Mr. Hu found a large truck. The truck key was still there, but the driver was missing. Mr. Hu’s driver’s license was a large truck license, so he quickly moved the stuff onto the truck.

On the way back, they passed by a pharmacy. Ms. Wu stopped the car first, and Mr. Hu immediately knew what she was going to do and quickly stopped the car as well. The door of the pharmacy was not closed, and it was estimated that the pharmacist inside had already turned into a zombie, but no one knew where he had escaped to. Ms. Wu was too lazy to look at what kind of medicine it was, so she just took it and put it in. She also found antipyretic drugs and antibiotics that were off the shelves under the counter, and almost emptied the pharmacy.

When the two returned home, the old lady had already prepared dinner. Ms. Wu found that the old lady must have cried, “Mom, we are back safely. But we have to go out again in the evening.”

Their house does not need to be reinforced. When it was renovated, because there were elderly people and children, they used the best window frames. Although the glass is not one-way, the blackout curtains are very thick.

When they went out at night, they went straight to Metro. There were more zombies in Metro than they had imagined. The two did not think about acting separately. They came out together and should go back together!

Mr. Hu brought a spare machine with him when he came out. The two drove the car away first, turned on the alarm on their mobile phones for fifteen minutes, and then went back immediately. The remaining zombies were easy to deal with. They hurriedly loaded the things into the truck. Ms. Wu also had a large vehicle license. She learned it on a whim when she accompanied Hu Song. She had never driven a car in all these years. That’s what she said, but Ms. Wu was not afraid at all.

“It’s okay! Trust me!”

They transported two trucks of supplies this time, and two more the second time. Finally, they drove their own SUV back because they had nothing left
. Ms. Wu also moved a lot of fruit. When she passed by a seed store, she saw no one or zombies, so she took dozens of bags of seeds back. There was plenty of soil at home, so she could just pull out the flowers.

This time they came back they didn’t plan to go out again and waited for rescue. Ms. Wu was obviously more thoughtful. She left some food in the houses on the 13th and 14th floors, looking so miserable as if she had been robbed, and then returned to the 17th floor.

They lived safely like this. Mr. Wu set a duty roster. The old lady was old, so she didn’t have to be on duty. Xiaoyuan was young, so four hours a day was enough for him to work, and the rest of them had to work ten hours each.

It is a bit tiring, but even so, when they were told there was a safe base, they didn’t think of going there. They had sufficient supplies and had elderly and children, so they decided not to take any risks. It was enough for the whole family to be safe.

When most people in the community had left, Mr. Hu noticed Xu Qing’s family. That family was very cautious and careful. If Mr. Hu hadn’t remembered that someone in that building stored food a few days before the zombie outbreak and hadn’t kept observing that building afterwards, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

Mr. Hu told the family about this matter, and in the end it was the old lady who spoke up, “Ask if you want to form an alliance and work together. Otherwise, the two of you will be too tired, and they won’t be able to come over. We are very safe.”

How lucky they were, they met Xu Qing’s family in the end times. In the winter, the old lady was so cold that she couldn’t sleep all night, so Xu Qing’s family sent her a hot pack; when it was too hot in the summer, they sent her mung bean soup.

The gifts were so insignificant before the end of the world, but they are so precious in the end of the world.

How lucky they are to have someone to weather the storm together. In this doomsday, they are no longer an isolated island.

When the catastrophe was over, Xu Qing’s family invited them to have dinner together. During the meal, the two families burst into tears for no apparent reason. They always thought that it would be good to have food and drink in the end times. However, everything that happened and saw in the end times had already been engraved in their bones and blood. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, they always felt that there was shouting somewhere, and then they suddenly sat up, put on their clothes, and went to the window. Once they opened their eyes, the whole night was gone.

The catastrophe is over, but what we have experienced will never be forgotten.

Both families participated in the post-apocalyptic reconstruction. Ms. Wu became even busier and often returned home late at night. Mr. Hu would always wait downstairs for Ms. Wu to come home. Those nightmarish events were over, but the past events had brought them too much harm and were difficult to reverse in a short time.

Xiaoyuan went back to school. There were fewer people in the school. There was not even a full class for one grade. The head teacher cried when he saw them. These students are really hope. Although there are not many of them, at least knowledge will be passed on and mankind will progress. As long as we have hope in our hearts, there will always be endless life!
