Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 23 Secret Warehouse
"Sister, shall we put the water we can't take away here?"

He Meng found a small warehouse at the other end of the counter and took out a lot of disposable underwear and wet face wipes. This surprised her and she quickly turned around and called Bai Li.

The door of the small warehouse was very small, only enough for one person to enter and exit. The space inside was not large either. In addition to the disposable items that He Meng had found, there were two white coats and a light blue coat hanging on the wall, as well as two pairs of leather shoes.

It looks like the drugstore clerk's changing room.

Bai Li thought about it and said to He Meng, "There is a conscientious shop across the street. We can go there and get some and put them here. When we leave, we can move the medicine shelf next to it over to block the gap."

In fact, even if there is no traffic jam, it may not be a problem, because everyone's attention is currently on food, drink, defecation and urination, and pharmacies are the most neglected ones.

But what if?
There might be someone else who has the same idea as her.

He Meng's eyes lit up when she heard the words "Conscientious Shop". Oh, how could she forget about this snack shop? She still had their membership card. She had just topped up 500 yuan in April and hadn't even spent half of it.

Bai Li also has their membership card, which she hasn't spent yet.

"Sister, does this count as independent consumption?"

When entering the store to get something, He Meng joked with Bai Li.

Bai Li checked the small compartments and warehouse inside, and only after making sure that no one was inside did she take the bag and load it with them.

"Forget it. Maybe we will never be able to spend the money in our card."

This was a rather heavy topic, so He Meng stopped talking for a while.

After a long while, she asked softly, "Sister, what do you think is the situation outside now? If I want to drive out of Suzhou and get on the highway, can I go?"

This reminded Bai Li of Qiao Fei and Lin Zhe who left last night. If they couldn't leave, they should come back, right?
But thinking of Qiao Fei's abilities, even though his companion didn't show anything, she guessed that he was not an ordinary person either.

So even if something happens, they should be able to get out.

But this is not necessarily the case for ordinary people.

She turned her head and asked He Meng, "You want to leave?"

He Meng nodded, "I'm worried about my parents and want to go back to be with them."

But her hometown is more than 400 kilometers away from Suzhou, which seems not far away and only takes half a day to drive there.

But who knows what the situation is outside now?

Oh, why is the network down?

Although they were talking, the two of them did not stop working, and soon they filled seven or eight bags with snacks.

He Meng also took out some medicine from his backpack and put some small breads, ham, fish sausages and the like in it.

"Sister, I'll move these over first, you and Qiqi continue to install them."

He Meng put down his backpack and ran across the street carrying four large bags.

Two adults and one child worked for more than half an hour and finally cleared half of the shelves.

Then he went back to the pharmacy, closed the door of the small warehouse, and moved the shelf next to it to block it.

"Okay, let's go back first."

The street in front of the pharmacy was still empty, with no one around.

This is a commercial street with mostly restaurants. When the virus broke out in the morning, many stores were not open yet. Even if some were open, they were cleaning with their doors open. These people either mutated into zombies or ran back home immediately when they saw that the situation was not right.

Just like the "Conscientious Shop", although the glass door was closed, the lock was open, which means that the salesperson was most likely the second case in her analysis.

"Sister, why do I feel like everyone who came out is from our community? Why don't I see anyone else?"

When they returned to the road leading to their community, they noticed at a glance that there were more people in the small supermarket in front of them, and the faces that hurried in and out were more or less familiar.

"Maybe other communities are not as lucky as us. We didn't meet Qiao Fei who came to pick us up and helped to clean up the zombies in the community."

"Qiao Fei? Are you talking about the man who saved me yesterday?"

"Yes." "Well, he's a good man."

Qiao Fei, who was awarded the good guy card again, had not yet left Sucheng and got on the highway.

They were blocked.

In front of them were cars jammed in a mess, and behind them were zombies attracted by the sound of the cars and chasing after them.

However, neither he nor Du Qiuyan paid much attention to the outside world. They turned off the engine and sat quietly in the car.

The two looked back through the rearview mirror.

Lin Zhe huddled in the back seat with his head down, tears dripping down his face. He already knew that something had happened to his grandma and his parents.

Qiao Fei and the others were going to take him away from Su City to their own home, so they had to tell him.

What's more, Jiang Qi's mother also told him not to treat Lin Zhe as a child but as an adult.

"Jiji, from now on you go wherever your uncle goes, and always follow me."

"Come on," Du Qiyan interrupted him rudely, "Will your spoiled fiancée agree if you take Ji Ji with you? You'd better come with me. I'm alone, and it's just right that we can depend on each other."

"But Gigi and I know each other better."

"How do I know you?"

The two argued endlessly, both wanting Lin Zhe to follow them.

"Uncle Qiao, Uncle Du"

Lin Zhe wiped the tears from his face, stopped crying, and pleaded, "You will pass by Jiangcheng on your way to Huaizhou. Can you, can you take me to my grandmother's house?"

Going to grandma's house?

Qiao Fei and Du Qiuyan looked at each other. Although they were not sure whether the people from his grandmother's family were still there, since the child said so, they had to satisfy him.

"Okay, if you remember the address, then we'll turn right after we pass Jiangcheng."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. At least Lin Zhe was willing to talk and stop crying.

On the other side, Bai Li and her friends, two adults, one child and one dog, entered the cafe and found a lot of bread inside. There were also many bottles of water under the cabinet.

"What a pity, we can't bring the water back."

He Meng sighed. She hadn't washed her hair or taken a shower for four days and felt very greasy.

Looking at Bai Li and her son, they look clean and refreshed, just like before the virus outbreak.

She guessed that their family must have stored a lot of water in advance.

This is the difference between knowing how to live and not knowing how to live. Even if she hadn't been locked in the study by her husband, she probably wouldn't have remembered to save water.

So now she is very self-aware and follows Bai Li, going wherever she says.

She took two thermos bottles, and she followed suit, filling them with water and placing them on both sides of her backpack.

"Okay, let's go back first."

They carried backpacks and two handbags and walked past the supermarket towards the community without looking around.

The people inside were still looting, and there were also people who had just come out of the community running over here. Obviously, they had heard about it and were rushing over to grab things.

When passing by Bai Li and the others, they glanced into their bags and saw a few packs of tissues on them. They curled their lips in disdain.

After all, she is a woman. At this time, why would she take some tissues instead of food and drinks?

"Ah, help, help!"

When the three-person-one-dog team was passing the pet hospital and approaching the community, they suddenly heard a scream from the small supermarket, sharp and piercing, just like the one they heard on the 28th.
