Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 189 Red Rope
Song Huanyan didn't stay sad for too long because she knew she couldn't afford to be sad.

She didn't know yet that Song Xiaoxiao had already seen her parents, although they looked almost unrecognizable and their bodies seemed to have shrunk in water and looked dry.

But for familiar family members, they can basically recognize it just by looking at the figure, not to mention that it is on their own balcony.

She was sad for her brother and sister-in-law, but she had to hold back her sadness and asked Qiao Fei and others to help dispose of the bodies of him and sister-in-law.

In fact, my brother and sister-in-law's health is a bit strange. The balcony with closed windows faces south, which means that as long as it is sunny and there is sunshine, the temperature here is higher than outside.

Not to mention those few months when the temperature just started to rise but was still below zero, over the past month or so, the daytime temperature has been basically above zero, and with the sunlight shining through the glass, it is much warmer than outside.

No matter how big the ice is, it will melt eventually.

But her brother and sister-in-law just stood there hugging each other, not moving at all, just like solid ice sculptures.

I don’t know if it has something to do with the wires strung around their necks.

It was also the first time that Qiao Fei and the others had seen such zombies. The man held the woman in his arms, and didn't seem to care at all that his neck was bitten by her. He put one hand around her waist and the other hand pressed the other's head against his chest, with a hint of sadness in his gray and lifeless eyes.

Yes, sad.

Regardless of whether it was true or how everyone felt about the situation, at this moment, they felt just like Song Huanyan. It was as if they had seen a man who loved his wife so much, but after realizing that he couldn't save the person he loved, he resolutely went to his death.

But if it were just that, it might not have given people such a deep feeling, Qiao Fei thought, that sadness must also carry a hint of apology, apology to his sister and daughter.

Ugh.
The fire system in the team burned for a full quarter of an hour before turning the two men into a pile of ashes, but there were still a few strong little bones that could not be burned away no matter how hard the fire was applied.

"Captain Joe, here are two rings."

The fire warrior handed Qiao Fei two small pieces of unburned finger bones, on which were embedded two simple and elegant gold rings.

Qiao Fei walked into one of the bedrooms and handed the finger bone and ring to Song Huanyan who was helping Song Xiaoxiao pack her clothes.

"These two bones are not burned. Do you want to find a box to put them in?"

In the end, Song Huanyan used her sister-in-law's wooden box for jewelry to collect the finger bones and rings, and she put the ashes on the balcony into a porcelain jar and placed it in her brother and sister-in-law's bedroom.

Everything was packed up, but until they carried their things downstairs, Song Xiaoxiao still hadn't shown up.

Instead, Qiqi came over and told the little girl, "She said she won't come, because she's afraid she'll be reluctant to leave if she comes."

Song Huanyan's heart skipped a beat. She knew that when she tried to stop her niece, she might have seen her parents.

I really want to ask Qiqi, did my niece cry just now?
But the clever child avoided her sight and jumped onto a children's bicycle nearby. "Auntie, is this Song Xiaoxiao's bicycle? I helped her ride it away."

After saying that, he rode away on his bike with his dog like a gust of wind.

"Song Xiaoxiao, your backpack."

Before coming, he and Gigi both brought their own backpacks, but Song Xiaoxiao did not.

Just now I saw her aunt carrying her bicycle down the road. There was a pink little backpack hanging on the handlebars, which was obviously hers.

But
"woooooo"

When Song Xiaoxiao saw the pink schoolbag in Qiqi's hand, the tears that had just stopped flowing started flowing again.

Kiki:.
Why are you crying again?
He had a headache and felt that the schoolbag in his hand had become a hot potato. He didn't know whether to throw it away or not.

He tried to negotiate, "Little girl, tell me why you are crying? This schoolbag is not yours."

"It's mine. Who told you to take it?"

"."

"This is the Children's Day gift my mother gave me. I miss my mother."

Even though she was crying, she still grabbed her schoolbag and held it tightly in her arms.

But there is one good thing about Song Xiaoxiao: her tears come and go quickly.

After I hugged the schoolbag in my arms, the tears that had opened up immediately closed the floodgates.

But still with tears in her eyes, she asked Qiqi, "When you left, were my parents still on the balcony?"

Jiang Qi shook his head. He thought to himself, it must have been burned. How could it still be there?
Song Xiaoxiao had obviously thought of this as well. The gate that had just been closed was about to open again. Jiang Qi hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't be sad. It's the end of the world. It's not easy for everyone, right?"

He racked his brains to think of words that could comfort her and stop her from crying, but it was so difficult.

He caught a glimpse of his good friend Gigi from the corner of his eye and quickly turned his head and winked at him, meaning that he should think of a solution quickly.

Jiji came over and sighed, "Not only did you lose your parents, I did too. When the apocalypse began, my parents and grandma, the three closest people in the world, were all gone."

"Look, Jiji is even more miserable than you. At least you have your aunt. My dad, his parents, and my brother are in the same situation. They were all turned into zombies and processed without leaving any residue. Isn't that miserable too?"

After the two of them said this, Song Xiaoxiao really stopped crying. Instead, she looked at them with sympathy and pity. After all, their family had one more person dead than hers, so their situation was indeed more miserable than hers.

The little girl sniffed, unzipped her schoolbag, and pulled out a pretty pink cloth bag. She opened it, took out three red strings, and said to Qiqi and Jiji, "I bought these when my parents and I went to the Dalong Temple. They have been dipped in incense and can bless people. From today on, the three of us are good friends, and each of us will take one. Come, I'll tie them on your wrists."

Is this a red hairband?

Qiqi and Jiji looked at each other, both of them were terrified. When they looked at Song Xiaoxiao again, they wanted to say: We are boys, do we have to wear them?
But neither of them dared to refute. The little girl cried so many times that afternoon, and her tears formed a small stream. If she had been born in the era of Meng Jiangnu, there would be no chance that Meng Jiangnu would cry down the Great Wall.

Don't let her cry again when they are unwilling.

Song Xiaoxiao, who was fiddling with the red rope with her head down, didn't notice the conflicted looks on the two boys' faces at all. She was only focused on tying the red rope into a knot.

She tied it for Qiqi first, saying as she did so, "I'm really good at tying knots. When I was in kindergarten, all three teachers praised me for my cleverness. Take a look. Doesn't it look good?"

Qiqi looked down at the bow on her wrist and remained silent.

Jiji, who was standing next to him, also saw it, and his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but put his hands behind his back. But when Song Xiaoxiao walked in front of him, he stretched out his right hand with no hope in life, and turned his head to the side, looking like he was determined to die.

However, the hand he stretched out was snapped open by Song Xiaoxiao, "It's the left hand, men's left and women's right, do you understand?"

Do not understand.

They both replied in their hearts at the same time.

After tying it, the two of them quickly pulled down their innermost autumn clothes to cover the red rope tightly.

Song Xiaoxiao saw what the two did and nodded in agreement, "It needs to be protected so as not to get it dirty while working."

Kiki & Gigi:.
The two children nodded at the same time, "Yes, yes, that's right."

When the sun was about to set, the group left Pingcheng and rode their bikes back with large and small bags.

Today I went to a bicycle store and took out at least 30 or 40 bicycles, so I rode a bicycle instead of walking on the road when I came back. After all, the main road had been cleared and was more suitable for cycling.

When they arrived at the high wall of Pingjiang Bridge, they lined up the bicycles neatly and then climbed over the wall back to Pengcheng.

When we go again tomorrow, there will be transportation.

Song Huanyan was originally thinking about how to explain to her niece, but she didn't expect that the little girl didn't mention a word about her parents and her family after meeting her.

She tried to explain to her before going to bed at night, but she changed the subject, made the excuse that she was sleepy, and closed her eyes.

She sighed helplessly in her heart, lowered her head and kissed her niece on the forehead, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, auntie will always be with you and we will never be apart."

Time passed very quickly in the busyness, and almost in the blink of an eye it was late October, officially entering the nineteenth month of the end of the world.

The temperature has risen by several degrees compared to September, and the maximum daytime temperature can now reach ten degrees.

Almost all the frozen zombies in Pingcheng melted within a day. Fortunately, most of them had been dealt with before. Even if the last batch was completely melted, it would not form a zombie tide.

Therefore, the people who entered the city to kill zombies changed to guarding under the wall of Pingjiang Bridge, because those that had melted the ice and had the ability to move no longer needed to be deliberately searched for, they would follow the smell and run towards this side.

Recently, Wei Lichuan cooperated with Li Nan to recruit a lot of people for Pengcheng.

Li Nan did not arrange these people in the greenhouse area, but arranged them in a village not far from the North Expressway, where Qiao Fei once lived.

Of course, we won't let them live here forever. We will first observe them, then group them, and finally determine what these people are suitable for.

To prevent any trouble, let Liu Xu bring a team of people to watch here.

After working together for almost a year, he now has the idea of making further use of the brother and sister.

Of course, it was also because Bai Li seemed to have no problem with them, as if she didn’t know them and they had nothing to do with her at all.

There have been quite a few zombies in Pingcheng recently. In addition to the arranged patrols and guards, Liu Xu also took his men into Pingcheng several times in his spare time, focusing on finding supplies.

They had no hope of getting food, and they didn't lack anything, so they just wanted to find some quilts, clothes or other supplies.

It has been more than a year and a half since the end of the world, and production has not yet recovered. Now we lack everything except food.

This is especially true for those who have just been recruited.

Liu Xu gave them an idea, to form a team according to their abilities to go to Pingcheng to search for supplies, but in a team, it would be better if there were at least two people with strength abilities, so that if they found extra things, they could carry them out.

Naturally, Wei Lichuan and Jiang Minglang allowed these people to enter Pingcheng.

Although there are still zombies or mutated animals that attack humans in the city, their numbers have been controlled, and overall the risk factor is not very high.

Besides, there are indeed quite a lot of supplies inside. They are just sitting there anyway, so why not take them out?

But the area of Tiger King is prohibited.

There was also a sign saying "No trespassing, consequences at your own risk."

However, the crisis in Pingcheng was resolved, but the old leader who wanted to be transferred to Pengcheng was blocked.

When the stubborn snow in Pingcheng had melted away, something unexpected happened in Kangcheng, which is adjacent to it in the south.

This time, Wei Lichuan sent three urgent telegrams to Kyoto. He not only mentioned Cannes, but also the second-tier city Ningcheng.

In fact, this was expected. How could it be that after the heavy snow closed the city, only the zombies in Pingcheng were frozen? How could a city like Pingcheng, which had no survivors, be spared?

Kyoto had no doubt about this, because a wave of zombies had already occurred in Jiangcheng, the southernmost city where troops were stationed.

However, the garrison captain had a backer, and Jiangcheng was a first-tier city with an arsenal. After a few artillery shells were dropped, the entire city was almost razed to the ground.

Including Sucheng, which is adjacent to Jiangcheng, more than half of it was bombed.

But as the smoke cleared, what followed was the madness of the mutant animals.

Wei Lichuan and Jiang Minglang didn’t know how many crazy mutant animals there were. They only heard that the bullet shells used up at that time could fill two trucks.

What a fucking luxury!
If they were all from Jiangcheng’s arsenal, no one would believe it.

However, the good news for them was that because of this change in Jiangcheng, the transfer order that had been stuck for a month for the old leader was finally approved.

However, even if the old leader came, Wei Lichuan and Jiang Minglang understood that he could bring his own team, but he would never be allowed to bring extra weapons.

The two discussed that when the end of the world came, Ningcheng was in chaos like other cities. Jiang Minglang was anxious to find his wife and children at the time and did not pay much attention.

Now that I think about it, Ningcheng’s troops must have been transferred away by then.

So, is the armory there also like the military academy in the neighboring Flower City, with most of its weapons still there?
The old leader was also trying to find out the news, but unfortunately he didn't get it.

Jiang Minglang wanted to go look for it.

In order to better defend Pengcheng, he had to hold more weapons in his own hands.

He acted right away. Early that morning, he and Qiao Fei took eight people and drove two cars from Pingcheng to the south.

The car was bought from a 4S store in Pingcheng, and so was the gasoline.

Several cities south of Pingcheng were initially closed off due to water and mutant animal problems. Now that the ice and snow have melted, the highways have revealed their original appearance and are very easy to travel on.

The noise they made was not too loud, there were only two cars on the entire highway.

However, as people with special powers, they keenly felt that they were being watched by countless pairs of eyes.

Zhang Shaoda whispered to Jiang Minglang, "Boss, we should take Fengbao with us."

Ren Bin and Lao Sheng felt the same way. "We should bring it. I don't know what it is. I always feel a little creepy."

In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to take it, it’s that Fengbao doesn’t want to follow.

Although Jiang Minglang is also its owner, it is better to forget about it if going out.

In Toriko's heart, only her mother and brother can take her out to play.

So Jiang Minglang decided to take his son with him next time he went out.

Boys, can't always stay in a comfort zone, they should go out and gain experience while they are young, so that they can grow into real men and stand on their own in the future.

Just as he was thinking this, the car that Qiao Fei and his companions were driving behind him suddenly made a sharp emergency brake sound, but the car did not stop completely. The rear end of the car swung and it felt like something flew up from behind their car.

good night!
