Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 188 Zombies Hugging Each Other
The zombies in Pingcheng are being dealt with slowly but intensively. Fortunately, the temperature has not continued to rise in recent days. In the morning and evening, it has dropped from around minus five degrees to seven or eight degrees, which is not too bad.

Perhaps because Pingcheng has been frozen for too long, the temperature here is always lower than that in Pengcheng. Anyone who comes in can't help but shiver.

The same goes for the two little ones.

Qiqi and Jiji were brought here by Jiang Minglang today. On the one hand, he wanted the two children to see the frozen zombies, and on the other hand, he needed Xiaowu's help.

Because some zombies were probably frozen too solid, even if their heads were chopped off, it would be extremely difficult to burn them with fire.

But Xiaowu's fire is very different. It seems that no matter what it is, as long as it wants, it can burn it to ashes.

Ren Bin was so envious that he wished he could exchange his anger with Xiao Wu.

The zombies at the entrance of Pingcheng city have been cleared away, and even the snow on the ground has melted away, revealing the original appearance of the road.

However, it is only two or three hundred meters on this street.

There was no way. First, there were too many zombies, and second, they were really hard. The soldiers under Ren Bin and Wei Lichuan couldn't burn them all even if they took turns.

But when Xiaowu came, he spit out a fireball, and in the end only a handful of ash and a pool of water were left. It could be said that there was really nothing left.

Three fire elements are no match for a dog. How can this be justified?

The only drawback is that Xiaowu's fireballs don't last as long as theirs. Although he has been training it before, so far, the time he can spit fireballs continuously is still no more than half an hour.

In order to maximize the use of its fireballs, they decided to pile up the zombies with their heads chopped off and then let it burn.

Ho ho ho.
Not long after the group entered the city, just like the previous few days, the thawed zombies began running towards them, smelling the human scent.

"Qiqi, do you see the tavern with the wooden door over there? You two can go in."

The tavern was right next to Song Huanyan’s hotpot restaurant. It only had a not-so-big wooden door with the name of the tavern engraved on the top: Tavern.

Yes, the name of this tavern is 'The Tavern'.

Because it was too small and not very noticeable, it was ignored after the apocalypse and was not visited by any survivors.

It was Song Huanyan who told Qiao Fei that it was her tavern. There were a lot of liquors stored in the basement, most of which were brewed by her. There were basically three types: fruit wine, rice wine, and grain wine. But the taste was really good.

In recent days, when they take a break, they all come to this small pub to drink some wine to replenish their energy, which is perfect.

Since Song Huanyan told them, she would give it to them to drink. However, every time she returned from here, she would bring back a few empty glass jars and her winemaking tools.

If she has the chance in the future, she still wants to go back to her old job.

Qiao Fei felt that there was great potential in this, so he suggested that she go find Baili, because that thing didn't have much else, but lots of fruits.

Song Huanyan didn't listen to him. Her top priority now was farming. She would plant the one acre of land she was allocated first, and she would deal with other things in the next step.

The wooden door of the tavern was very heavy and looked very safe, but Kiki and Jiji did not dare to relax. After all, they had heard from their fathers that the zombies nowadays could even break through the rolling door.

Just like Song Xiaoxiao's aunt's hot pot restaurant, the rolling shutter door and the glass door inside were all hit by zombies.

I have to say, it’s really amazing.

So the two little guys were very conscious. They locked the door from the inside, hid in the store obediently, and only looked out secretly through the not-so-big glass window.

After the noise outside died down a bit, he took Xiaowu out and burned the zombies piled together by the uncles into ashes.

Although Xiaowu's working hours are not long, he has saved everyone a lot of effort.

When the sun was about to set, the group returned to Pengcheng from Pingcheng. Walking on the highway that had been specially cleared by everyone, Qiqi saw the big tiger that his father had mentioned for the first time.

It stood on the top of the highest mountain, quietly watching a group of people walking out.

Xiaowu followed beside Qiqi, his four legs trembling.

After finally reaching Pingjiang Bridge and being led over the high wall by the soldiers, it turned its head and bit the hem of Qiqi's shirt, pulling him and trying to run away.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but knowing how dangerous this dog was, they didn't dare laugh out loud.

Seeing that it was so afraid of the tiger, I thought it would not come again the next day, but it still followed Qiqi across the bridge happily.

He held his head high and walked steadily, and the way he walked was obviously different from yesterday.

Qiqi glanced at it again and again, and finally turned his head to look at Liuli behind him. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could this stupid dog be pretending just because Liuli is here?
Yes, today not only did they bring Xiaowu to Pingcheng, but Song Xiaoxiao also came with Liuli.

When she heard that Jiang Qi and his Xiao Wu could help, she was very unconvinced and took Liuli along reluctantly.

They are both fire-type, and if Xiaowu can help, there is no reason why Liuli can’t.

The little girl's desire to win took over and she insisted on following along no matter what.

Another reason was that she wanted to go home and take a look.

Although I know that my parents can't be at home, I still want to go back.

Of course, this is also because Uncle Joe said that they have already cleared the area near her home.

In order to make it convenient for her to go to school, their family lived in the city center, near the best elementary and junior high schools in Pingcheng District. It was just across the street from Song Huanyan's hot pot restaurant and pub.

Therefore, Song Huanyan also came. Her body has been almost recovered, and the fields have been watered for more than ten days. Now they are being left to dry. It will take a few days before sowing can be done.

Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go home.

But I didn’t expect that Song Xiaoxiao would never return home.

The building where her family lived was the best building, and the side buildings were all 180 square meters in area, with a nice small balcony on the side for viewing. Walking along the cobblestone road in the community, before reaching the downstairs, Song Huanyan looked up, her feet paused, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Qiao Fei walked beside her, and after noticing something strange, he followed Song Huanyan's line of sight and saw two zombies hugging each other on the fifth-floor balcony of the building in front of him. They were motionless, facing each other, looking at each other, like an alternative and unique ice sculpture in this city.

Song Huanyan was stunned for only three seconds, then she reacted immediately, grabbed her niece, and stood in front of her. She resisted the sourness in her eyes and said to her calmly, "Xiaoxiao, take Liuli outside to help the uncles first, otherwise you won't be as good as Qiqi again, and you don't want to be laughed at by him, right?"

Will Jiang Qi laugh at her?

It was very likely that the bad guy always pouted at her when she wasn't paying attention. Don't think that she didn't notice it because she didn't see it. Humph, she had a feeling. However, she had already reached the doorstep, so it wouldn't be a big deal to go home first.

"Xiaoxiao, there are zombies in the corridor of your frozen building. We need to clean it up for a while before you can go in. Be good, listen to your aunt, and go out with Uncle Sanpao to find Qiqi."

Qiao Fei helped to coax her and asked a soldier who followed them to take her out.

When Xiaoxiao could no longer be seen, Song Huanyan turned her head again and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She squatted on the ground where there was still a lot of snow, covering her face and crying silently.

Qiao Fei sighed and said nothing to comfort him. He just waved his hand and the soldiers behind him whizzed into the building.

There were indeed zombies in the hallway, but not many. Some were locked in their homes, probably because the ice had thawed, so they heard noises outside, or smelled human scent, and banged on the door.

Hearing the loud noises, Song Huanyan looked up suddenly. Through her tearful eyes, she saw her brother and sister-in-law still hugging each other, motionless, and seemed to be oblivious to the noise outside.

The small balcony faces the sun. If it was really an ice sculpture, it would have melted long ago. But why?
Qiao Fei looked at the two zombies with complicated eyes and said to Song Huanyan, "Your brother and sister-in-law are tied together. There are ropes around their waists and necks. It seems that they are strung together by something."

Song Huanyan couldn't see clearly, and after wiping away her tears twice, she still couldn't see clearly.

She stood up and ran quickly into the corridor.

Qiao Yi, who knows how to open locks, also came today. By the time Song Huanyan and Qiao Fei reached the fifth floor, he had already opened the door with a click.

On the other side, the soldier sent Song Xiaoxiao to Qiqi and Jiji. The two little guys were in a stationery store, sighing while packing up stationery books and various exercises.

Really, are you looking for trouble for no reason?

I saw there was a stationery store here and told my dad about it. Now, the homework for next month is out.

There is no need to worry about not having a notebook when you have finished writing, or not having a pen when you have finished writing. I can make up for it.

However, great-grandfather would probably be very happy to see these things.

So the two little guys who were packing up their things would feel painful, conflicted, and proud.

Seeing Song Xiaoxiao and Liuli coming over, the two of them ignored them and just took the big bag from the store and concentrated on packing their things.

After a long while, Qiqi realized something was wrong. Was this little girl Song Xiaoxiao too quiet today?
He dragged the refilled bag toward the door and took the opportunity to see what the little girl was up to.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but I was shocked when I did.

The little girl squatted on the ground with her knees hugged, tears streaming down her face.

Qiqi was confused. He didn't provoke her today, and Xiaowu didn't hit Liuli, so why was she crying?
He dropped the bag in his hand, walked over and squatted in front of her, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but her tears continued to fall, hitting the dusty floor, leaving a mark with each drop.

Qiqi scratched his head helplessly, and was about to get up to find Jiji and ask him what to do, but at this time Song Xiaoxiao spoke up, and she asked in a choked voice, "Jiang Qi, are you an accident of your parents?"

Qiqi: ???
No, what do you mean?
He answered with great determination and assurance, "I am my parents' baby, the fruit of their love. My mother said that when I was still in her belly, she and my father had imagined what I would look like. They said that because of me, their love is more complete."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Song Xiaoxiao asked this question. Could it be that she was an accident of her parents?
So her parents ran away and didn't want her anymore?

It's really pitiful.
Because of this guess, Qiqi decided to forgive her for her impolite question just now.

But the next second, Song Xiaoxiao raised her tearful face and looked at him in confusion, "My father also said that I was the fruit of his and my mother's love, but why do they always only care about each other and ignore me? The aunt downstairs said that I was an accident."

As she spoke, tears began to flow out again. She raised her sleeve to wipe them away and sobbed, "Dad asked him to go find Mom first, and asked me and my aunt to wait for him in the store. We were afraid that he wouldn't be able to find us if we left, so we kept waiting. Just now, I saw the two of them on the balcony.
Obviously, the dad didn’t turn into a zombie at the beginning, so I guess it must be the mom who turned into a zombie. He didn’t want to leave her alone, he wanted to accompany her, so he locked them both on the balcony and turned into a zombie with the mom.”

Qiqi stared at her blankly, his eyes widened and his mouth became an O shape.

Is this true?

He really wanted to tell Song Xiaoxiao that your guess might not be right. Maybe your father was bitten and was afraid that the two of them would run out and hurt others, so he locked himself and your mother on the balcony before he lost consciousness.

That's how it should be, right?

But he just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

After all, the little girl was obviously stimulated, so it was better for her to say less.

"Why don't you say anything? Don't you believe me?"

Jiang Qi:.
He sighed in his heart. As I said, this girl was the most difficult girl he had ever met.

".I believe."

"So I was really an accident to my parents. My dad would rather accompany my mom to become a zombie than come back to look for me? Isn't he afraid that if my aunt can't protect me, I will be bitten to death?"

As she was talking, the little girl's tears began to flow again, making Qiqi completely confused and not knowing what to do.

His good brother Gigi was squatting behind the second row of shelves, secretly looking at them. He felt sad for Song Xiaoxiao, but was glad that he didn't go over there.

His parents and grandmother are also gone, and he doesn’t know how to comfort others in this situation because he can’t open his mouth and because he feels even more sad.

Song Xiaoxiao's home.

After the door was opened, just as Song Huanyan had expected, the glass door leading to the living room from the balcony was tightly closed. It was obvious that her brother or sister-in-law had locked the two of them on the balcony in their last consciousness.

Maybe they thought that if she could bring Xiaoxiao back, they wouldn't be able to hurt either of them.

To be safer, they tied Liuli's dog leash around their waists, which was hung down against the side of the living room and tied in a knot.

There was also the neck. Qiao Fei looked carefully and found that there was actually a thin iron wire passing through the middle of the two people's necks, connecting their heads together.

Song Huanyan's brother opened his arms and hugged his wife in his arms. His wrists were tied together with wire, so that even if he lost consciousness, he could still maintain his current posture and hug his wife tightly.

However, the downside was that one side of his neck was bitten to pieces, with black blood coagulating on it, which looked particularly creepy.

I have to say, although Song Xiaoxiao is only seven years old, she really knows her parents well, and her guess is most likely true.

good night!
