Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 2 Pick up Xiaowu

Bai Li cooked the porridge, then took three buns that she had wrapped a few days ago and put them into the microwave.

Then he went downstairs and planned to carry up the last bag of vegetables left in the car.

Her house is on the fifth floor and she always takes the stairs instead of the elevator when going downstairs.

When she got down to the third floor, Bai Li saw a person standing at the door of Room 302. She recognized her as the child's grandmother. There was a large plastic bag of vegetables at her feet. It was obvious that she had just returned from the market.

It was just strange that she threw the food at her feet, held the key in her hand, but stood at the door with her head down, not moving.

What is this for?
Why don’t you go in?
Bai Li looked at the old lady curiously, and continued to go downstairs without stopping.

She has always been cautious and has never had the habit of meddling in other people's affairs.

After all, her husband can only come home a few times a year, and she has to take care of such a young son alone. She only hopes that both mother and son are safe and healthy.

What other people do has nothing to do with her.

Bai Li went downstairs, opened the trunk and took out the vegetables. After locking the car, she was about to go upstairs when she suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye.

She turned her head and looked to the side, and found a familiar gasoline barrel behind the parking space next to her.

She walked over to it, picked it up and found that it was full of gasoline, a full fifty liters.

It belongs to the single mother on the second floor. She works at a gas station. Whenever the price of gasoline goes up, she buys some gas in advance and takes it home.

Because Qiqi is about the same age as the other party's daughter, Bai Li is quite familiar with her and has bought slightly cheaper gasoline from her.

A few days ago, she told Bai Li that the price of gasoline would increase in the next few days. Thinking that she might go back to her hometown on May Day, Bai Li asked her to help buy thirty or fifty liters.

So this should be for her.

Is this fallen?
She goes to work at eight o'clock, so she should not be home by now.

Bai Li opened the trunk again and put gasoline in it, planning to tell the single mother about it after returning home and transfer the money to her.

They took the elevator to go upstairs, so Bai Li didn't know that the grandma on the third floor was still standing at her door without moving.

After the mother and son had a simple breakfast, Bai Li put on a windbreaker and a hat for Qiqi. She dressed herself in the same way, then took a long umbrella and went downstairs.

Still walking up the stairs, Qiqi held her mother's hand and walked downstairs quietly.

When passing the third floor, Bai Li saw that the grandma from 302 was gone, but the cabbage was still at the door.

She looked at it again and again in surprise, confirming that this package of vegetables was the one she brought downstairs before dinner, because there were three long green onions sticking out of it, exactly the same as before, and their positions had not changed.

The door of Room 302 was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.

"Ka-ka-ka-ho."

The sudden sound startled the mother and son. Bai Li withdrew her gaze and quickly pulled her son downstairs.

"Mom, 302 has a puppy too?"

When they got downstairs, Qiqi asked Bai Li curiously.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the crunching sound just now is very similar to the sound of Xiaowu gnawing on a bone."

"is it?"

Bai Li suddenly realized and finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart. She shook her head helplessly and blamed herself for overthinking. How could she think that the sound was abnormal and that something had happened in the other person's home?
Maybe you have pets, too.

When the mother and son were passing by the gate of the community holding an umbrella, they found the security guard inside sitting on a chair with his head drooping, as if he was asleep.

Bai Li took a quick glance and then looked away. After leaving the house with her son, she turned right and walked for just two minutes before arriving at a not-so-big pet hospital.

"Wang!"

The mother and son had just pushed open the glass door and walked in, but before they could stand firmly, they heard a familiar dog barking.

"Xiao Wu." Qiqi happily jumped in front of the cage and was about to open it to let Xiao Wu out when a person walked out from the innermost office.

"Sister Bai, Qiqi."

"Uncle An, is Xiaowu no longer feverish?"

The young man wearing glasses came closer, smiled and rubbed Qiqi's head, and asked instead of answering, "You look so energetic, are you all right?"

"Yes, I am fine now. I don't have a fever anymore."

"Our Qiqi's physical fitness is still so great."

After praising Qiqi, Dr. An opened the cage door and let Xiaowu out, letting Qiqi play with it in the hall, while he took Baili into the office.

"Sister Bai, these are antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. If Xiaowu's temperature rises again after you go back, give him one pill."

"You mean, it will come back again? Is there any inflammation somewhere?"

Doctor An pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and said in confusion, "I have checked repeatedly and Xiaowu's body actually has no inflammation at all. But the strange thing is that his current body temperature is only one degree lower than when he had a high fever before, and it has remained at this temperature since last night, without changing at all."

Bai Li: "It's one degree lower than when I had a high fever, but it's higher than normal. Why?"

As a professional veterinarian with superb professional qualities, Dr. An said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I read books all night last night and consulted teachers and colleagues, but unfortunately I still can't find the cause. But it is in good spirits, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all normal."

"Then it should be fine."

Bai Li interrupted Dr. An and said to him based on her experience in raising her son, "As long as he is in good spirits and can eat, drink and defecate, he will basically recover. As for the high temperature you mentioned..."

She thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that every dog has a different physique, so for a dog like Xiaowu, cooling down doesn't happen all at once like it does for other dogs, but requires a process?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Doctor An told Bai Li to observe for two days and send her back if there were any problems.

The mother and son took the medicine and the dog back to the community. The glass door of the pet hospital slowly closed behind them, clearly reflecting two electric bikes colliding with each other on the non-motorized vehicle lane not far away on the opposite side.

"Wang!"

Xiao Wu suddenly bared his teeth and yelled at the two people lying on the ground. Qi Qi immediately pulled the dog leash and scolded in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, shut up and don't be mean to others!"

After hearing what his young master said, although Xiao Wu still made a low whimpering sound in his throat, he finally stopped barking, and his eyes continued to look at the two people fiercely.

It’s strange, Xiaowu wasn’t like this before.

Bai Li bent down and stroked Xiao Wu's head soothingly, and turned her head to look at the two people who bumped into each other as she walked.

One of them was a delivery man. His electric bike was quite large and his legs were crushed when he fell, so it must have been difficult for him to get up.

Bai Li saw him raise his arm and wave it, then lie down on the ground, motionless.

The other person's bike was also big, but luckily it didn't fall on him. But he himself didn't know where he was hit, and he lay on the ground twitching like he was having epilepsy, which was scary.

"Mom, do you want us to help call an ambulance?"

Qiqi also saw the situation of the two people, and he approached Bai Li with a little fear.

"Be good, Dr. An is already on the phone."

Qiqi turned sideways and looked back, and sure enough, he found that Dr. An had pushed open the glass door and was standing at the door. He looked at the two people, with the phone held to his ear, obviously making a call.

"Let's go home first."

Bai Li was not used to watching the fun, and it was raining now. The children and the dog had just recovered from their fever, so it was not suitable for them to stay outside for a long time.

And
Bai Li looked at Xiao Wu, who was still baring his teeth and glaring at the two people fiercely, and felt that it would be better for them to leave first.

The mother and son walked a few steps with the dog and returned to the gate of the community. After entering by face recognition, they did not notice that one of the victims, who was lying on the ground twitching a second ago, suddenly got up and pounced on another victim on the non-motorized vehicle lane not far behind them.
