Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 20 Carrying the corpse
The third floor was still the same as before. The door of 301 was closed, and the headless body of 302 was lying at the door with its head rolled to the side of the door. A little further inside the entrance were broken limbs and arms, and from the torn cloth on them it could be seen that they should be the grandfather of this family.

Bai Li didn't stop and walked straight up with Qiqi.

The little guy didn't seem to be afraid, but he actually held her hand tighter involuntarily.

fourth floor
The door of 402 was closed, and the door of 401 was gone. The light shone from the living room. Bai Li turned her head and glanced inside, and found that the headless male corpse who was originally lying there was gone. No, it was not gone. The body was wrapped in a bed sheet, including the head.

It looks a lot more respectable.

The woman in room 401 sat on the sofa with her legs bent, seemingly in a daze.

Bai Li looked away and continued walking upstairs with her son.

"Wait a minute."

The woman ran out of the living room barefoot and begged Bai Li, "Sister, please can you help me? I want to move my husband downstairs and bury him, but I can't do it by myself."

As she spoke, tears began to flow again. She choked up and said, "I don't want to leave him like this. I just want to bury him, but, but."

But no one was willing to help her. Even when the people living next door in room 402 came to her house to ask for food, she gave them the food, but they were still unwilling to help, saying that the virus was contagious.

How could it be contagious? They had always been together. Even though he turned into a zombie later, she was in the study and he was in the living room, they were still in the same house and breathing the same air.

If it was contagious, she wouldn't be fine now.

Unfortunately, no one believed her, or they just chose not to believe her because they were unwilling to help.

"Okay, wait a moment, I have to send my son up first."

Hearing Bai Li's words, the woman who thought she would be rejected was stunned for a moment, and then nodded repeatedly in ecstasy, "Okay, I'll wait for you, thank you sister, thank you!"

Bai Li took Qiqi back home and boiled some water for him to brush his teeth, wash his face and feet.

"Mom, can the two of you lift Uncle Wei?"

The little guy was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, but he still reminded his mother to be careful, etc., which made his mother very worried.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep in seconds.

Bai Li stroked Xiao Wu's head and whispered to him, "Watch the house carefully. If anything happens, call out loudly."

Xiaowu hummed twice, as if responding to her.

Xiaofeng had already fallen asleep in the corner of the cage with her eyes closed.

Bai Li closed the door and went downstairs.

The woman in Room 401 had already put on her socks, changed her shoes, and put on a thick coat. She was squatting beside her husband's body waiting for Bai Li.

Seeing that she really came down to help her, a trace of emotion appeared on his sad face.

After all, the two families had a very unpleasant quarrel because of a dog. To be more precise, it was her husband who was unreasonable and quarreled with others. Fortunately, she stopped him, otherwise there would be no one to help her collect the body today.

"Sister, I'm sorry for what happened before. Thank you for today. My name is He Meng, you can just call me Xiao He."

"Xiao He, you'd better put the food and utensils from your living room and kitchen in the bedroom and lock them up."

Seeing He Meng thanking her and about to carry the body downstairs, Bai Li hurriedly reminded her in a low voice, "Otherwise, when you come back later, there might not be anything to eat at home."

It’s not that she looks down on the old couple in Room 402. They have the audacity to come over and ask for food even when they are at home. If they are not there, wouldn’t they come in and clean up the place?
He Meng nodded in understanding and thanked him again.

But there wasn't much food left at home. She and her husband didn't know how to cook, so they usually either ate out or ordered takeout. The only things they could cook at home were noodles, instant noodles, and snail rice noodle.

Most of the noodles and instant noodles were taken away by the old lady in room 402 opposite more than an hour ago, and even the only five eggs left in the refrigerator were taken away.

But she was still in grief at the time and didn't care about these things. He Meng put all the remaining food into a bag, put it in the bedroom, locked the door, and then said to Bai Li, "Sister, please lift your feet and I'll lift your shoulders."

She wrapped the head in a bath towel, tied the towel to the bed sheet, and placed it on the chest of the corpse.

At first glance, I thought the head was just there, which makes it even more scary.

Fortunately, her husband was not very tall and not fat, so the process of carrying the body was not too difficult.

When passing the third floor, He Meng saw the tragic situation in Room 302. She was so shocked that her hands trembled, and the bed sheet slipped from her hands. The corpse fell to the floor with a bang, and the sound was so loud that it scared people.

"S-Sorry, sis. I-I..."

"fine."

Bai Li remained calm, her hands still grasping the two layers of sheets wrapped around her legs.

Seeing that Bai Li was calm, He Meng's excitement eased a little. She tried not to look towards Room 302. She bit her lip, lifted the body up again, and walked downstairs with Bai Li, one after the other.

The two men moved the body to the lawn in the green belt downstairs, and then He Meng seemed to think of a problem: there was no shovel.

"The property's utility room is in the westernmost corner of the first floor. There are shovels and spades inside. Come with me to get them."

In fact, carrying the body down was enough to complete the help, and Bai Li could have just turned around and left.

But He Meng was not very brave. Moreover, when the two of them came down, Bai Li keenly noticed that the curtains on the fourth floor opposite were moving, and someone was watching them.

She was worried that someone would pay attention to her car, after all, she was going out tonight.

So I just stayed and helped dig the hole, mainly to observe the person who was spying over here.

"Sis, thank you so much for tonight."

Finally her husband was laid to rest and He Meng expressed her gratitude to Bai Li again.

"fine."

Bai Li waved her hand nonchalantly and took her to return the two shovels to the utility room.

Then the two went upstairs.

It was already 1:30 in the morning, and even though they were not sleepy, both of them looked tired.

So no one spoke when they went upstairs and everyone went home.

Bai Li got home, changed into pajamas and washed up. Although she was tired, she did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she stood at the window and looked at Building No. 2 opposite.

In this community, except for Building No. 1 which has six floors, all other buildings have eleven floors, including Building No. 2.

Just now, she only noticed that there was a problem on the fourth floor when she was downstairs, but now there was no movement. Maybe she was impatient waiting for them to dig the hole, so she went to sleep.

As for the others, she looked from left to right, from top to bottom, slowly, one window at a time. Those with drawn curtains almost always meant that there was someone at home. Otherwise, there was no one at home, or there were zombies.

She counted and found that there were seventeen households in Building No. 2 with their curtains drawn, two households with their lights on and not asleep, and four households with neither lights on nor asleep.

Why is it so easy to find?

Because the six families did not cover themselves when they opened the curtains and looked out, Bai Li guessed that they were probably unable to sleep and were observing the outside world while also thinking about their retreat plans.

The third day of the apocalypse has ended. Because the incident happened suddenly, most people were overcome by fear at first. But those who had a little brains and courage would react as long as they saw her go out and come back in good shape. Bai Li estimated that there would definitely be some people who would dare to walk out of the house, go downstairs, or even leave the community tomorrow, although not many.

After all, people nowadays don’t have the habit of storing food. Three to five days is fine, but any longer is not possible.
