Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 21 The Fourth Day

I woke up the next day at 7:30 in the morning.

When Bai Li opened her eyes, she was keenly aware of movement outside.

She turned over and sat up, first looking at her son who was still sleeping soundly beside her, then helped him cover the quilt that had been kicked off, then put on a home cotton coat and walked out of the bedroom.

Sure enough, there was a group of people gathered downstairs. Not really a group, just seven of them, and they were all men.

I don’t know what they were discussing, but Bai Li saw two of the men looking up at the building from time to time, and one of them even pointed at her car.

Bai Li's eyes turned cold and she clenched her fists.

She reached out and gently opened the window a crack, and the cold wind carrying fine rain poured in and hit her face.

It's raining again. It stopped for half a day yesterday, and it's raining again today.

Suzhou is like this. Every time it rains, it has this kind of fine and dense drizzle, and it will last for many days in a row.

Most men don’t care, let alone hold an umbrella.

That's why the seven people downstairs gathered together in the rain as if nothing had happened.

Won’t you get sick if you’re caught in the rain for too long?
Being sick at a time like this is not a good sign.

Bai Li loosened her clenched fists. She wondered if she could go to the nearby pharmacy today.
At this time, through the open window, Bai Li vaguely heard some of their words -
"After today, our family will be completely out of food. If we don't find food, we won't be able to survive today, let alone tomorrow."

"It's the same for everyone. My wife and I don't have the habit of buying groceries. We usually buy whatever we want to eat at one meal. We don't have many snacks. We were so hungry last night that we were seeing stars."

"So you all want to go out of the community to find food?"

"Don't you want to? I saw it clearly yesterday. At the beginning, there was a woman in Building 1 who followed the man's car back. Look, it was the white BMW. She looked fine. Nothing happened to her. I guess the area outside has been cleared. There's no danger."

"Later, a woman took the child out and came back, and nothing happened."

"I just don't know which household these two people are from. Otherwise, we can go up and ask if it's safe outside? Can we walk freely?"

"It's obvious that the man yesterday was not an ordinary person. He must be a policeman or a soldier. If the higher-ups sent one or two such people to each community, wouldn't the crisis be resolved?"

"That's right. If the higher-ups had done this earlier, people wouldn't be so panicked."

Bai Li's mouth twitched. He really took things for granted.

She almost understood that these men gathered together to go out and see the situation and find food, but they were all brave, so they wanted to be together as a company.

She closed the window, too lazy to listen anymore.

He then walked towards the balcony, through which he could clearly see the Second People's Hospital which had not yet been completely burned down. Although there was no flame at this time, thick smoke was billowing straight into the sky.

It's still terrifying to watch.

Today is May 1st, the fourth day of the apocalypse.

Under normal circumstances, she and her son would have been in their hometown with their father and grandparents, but now they could only pray that they were all fine, not infected with the virus or bitten by zombies.

While there was electricity, Bai Li cooked century egg and lean meat porridge in the rice cooker, and made scallion pancakes with the electric pancake maker.

When she finished breakfast, she found that the seven men who were playing with crickets downstairs had disappeared. At the same time, she saw three cars driving out of the community.

Just as she guessed last night, someone really walked out of the community today.

After breakfast, Qiqi poured out half a basin of water from the sink.

It is worth mentioning that when he woke up in the morning, he held his urine and filled half a basin of water into the washbasin. After that, his urine volume returned to normal and he no longer urinated as much as before.

But Bai Li's expression was a little unnatural. Thinking that the water she tried to drink yesterday might have been transferred from her son, she couldn't bring herself to continue drinking the water he put in.

But the little guy was unaware of anything. Seeing that he could release so much water at once, he jumped for joy.

As luck would have it, as soon as he jumped, the loud thud startled an old couple who were stealing things from room 401 downstairs, and with a "bang", a bucket of laundry detergent in the old lady's hand fell to the floor.

Then there were two crisp sounds, and He Meng walked out of the bedroom with disheveled hair, holding a kitchen knife.

Because I cried for too long yesterday, my red and swollen eyes have not gone down yet, but now it’s just right to use them to glare at the old couple.

The old man and the old woman widened their eyes in horror, took two steps back, then turned around and ran home.

"Put down my stuff!"

He Meng pointed the knife at the old couple who had already run to the door of his house, "Put it down, or I will definitely chop you two old bastards to death. If you don't believe me, just try it!"

The fierceness in her eyes was not disguised, and her red eyes were enough to scare the two cowardly people.

The old man threw the wooden statue decorative lamp he was holding onto the ground, and then took out two packs of tissues from his arms. The old lady cursed in her heart while throwing the laundry detergent, soy sauce, salt, etc. in her hands onto the ground.

After the two men slammed the door shut, He Meng slowly put down the knife, but she did not move, still staring at the door of 401.

It turns out that it is right to keep a knife with you.

She learned this from Bai Li. Whenever she went out, she would carry a knife with her. No matter what the actual situation was, it would always make those with bad intentions afraid to act rashly.

Henli was also very angry just now because the wooden human-shaped statue decorative lamp stolen by the old man was specially bought by her husband as a gift for her.

This thing doesn't look very good, but it costs nearly 10,000 yuan. She didn't want to buy it at that time, so her husband secretly saved money to buy it for her as a surprise.

It has been kept in the living room and she didn't think of moving it into the bedroom last night. She didn't expect that the two old guys opposite not only took the food, but also stole this.

Because the community is temporarily safe now, after breakfast Bai Li took out two backpacks from the cabinet, one for herself and the other for Qiqi.

"Go downstairs and throw away the garbage, then take Xiaowu to pee and poop, and then the three of us will walk out and go to the nearby pharmacy."

Their family has no shortage of food now, not to mention there is a trunk in the car downstairs.

So I went out to find medicine and to see the situation.

Seeing that the three of them were going out again, Xiaofeng jumped on its wooden pole unhappily.

"Feng Bao, it's raining outside today. I'll take you downstairs when it stops raining."

When Xiaofeng heard her brother call her "Fengbao", she stopped jumping immediately and let out an "ah" of joy.

The mother and son put on raincoats, masks, and went downstairs fully armed, carrying their bags.

When they passed the fourth floor, they saw He Meng standing at the door, and both of them were stunned.

"Sister, are you going out?" He Meng asked first.

Bai Li nodded, "Yes, let's go out for a walk."

"Can I join you?"

"Okay."

He Meng was overjoyed. He turned around and quickly went back to the bedroom to put on his coat, took a backpack and put it on his back, then locked the door.

There is nothing left in the living room and kitchen that can be taken now. It doesn't matter if something is stolen. I can just come back with a knife and ask the person next door for it.
