Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 24 Repairing the Gate
"Come on!"

Out of awareness of danger, when Bai Li heard the scream, she took Qiqi by the hand and pulled He Meng, who was still turning her head to look back, and trotted into the community.

"Don't go out, don't go out, there are zombies!"

The small doors on both sides of the gate were for entering and exiting. After they came in, they saw people still running out from the other side, so they quickly shouted to warn them, "Go home, go home quickly."

The people who were running out stopped immediately when they heard her shouting, mainly because the word "zombie" made people feel terrified. But the old man in front saw them carrying so many bags and asked suspiciously and unwillingly, "Are there really zombies?"

"what"

"Help."

“Run, run!”

Before Bai Li could answer, the commotion not far outside the community made the faces of the men and women who wanted to go out change drastically.

"Go, go, go, go home, go home quickly"

A group of people turned around and ran back in panic, pushing and shoving each other. Those who were originally running in the front and wanted to go to the supermarket suddenly became the last ones. The elderly people who were originally at the back had weak legs and feet, and when they were pushed, one of the lame old men was pushed to the ground.

Bai Li noticed that the person who fell to the ground was Xinxin's grandfather from Building No. 3. Xinxin was half a year younger than Qiqi. Sometimes they would meet in the playground and play together.

She remembered that Xinxin's grandfather was a carpenter.

Because there was once a kid who laughed at Xinxin and said that his grandfather was a cripple. Xinxin retorted that his grandfather was very powerful and could repair anything and even make toys for him.

These thoughts flashed through Bai Li's mind, but her legs had already quickly run over and pulled the man up from the ground.

The commotion outside came from far away and gradually got closer, and in a flash someone arrived at the door.

"Hurry up, mom."

Qiqi urged on the other side, and Bai Li didn't have time to think. She held the knife in one hand and supported the old man with the other hand and ran towards their Building No. 1. Fortunately, it was relatively close to their unit. When she ran in, the first person who ran back from outside happened to use facial recognition to enter the community.

He Meng took Qiqi into the apartment building first, waited for Bai Li and Xinxin's grandfather to come in, and quickly closed the glass door of the apartment building.

But as soon as the door was closed, someone came running over. It was the grandfather from Room 402.

Even though the situation was critical and he was running out of breath, he still held a large bag tightly in his hands.

Even though he disdained the old man, He Meng still opened the door when he approached, and closed it immediately after he came in.

"What's going on? Are there zombies hiding in the supermarket?"

After the grandfather of Room 402 came in, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, unable to answer He Meng's questions at all.

After catching his breath for a while, he said, "There are zombies hiding in the supermarket, not in our community, in the store in Building 15. Damn, he was infected with the virus and still ran outside. Isn't he deliberately harming people? Damn old thing."

The old man was cursing and said that he had been bitten by several zombies. There were more than one zombie outside at the moment, at least three, and there should be more.

After saying this, the old man stood up and went upstairs, holding the bag in his arms.

He entered the elevator and saw these people still standing still, staring at the people running outside. He couldn't help but say, "What are you still doing here? If the zombies come in and see you, they will definitely run to our unit. Hurry up and go home."

Xinxin’s grandfather wanted to say that he would just hide here for a while and then go back home depending on the situation.

Bai Li asked in a low voice first, "Uncle, can you fix the door?"

He Meng's eyes lit up and she looked at Grandpa Xinxin with anticipation.

"Yes, is your door broken?" He was already very grateful to Bai Li, and when he heard that he was needed, he immediately agreed, "I'll help you take a look, I can fix most problems."

"Then go upstairs first."

The grandfather of room 402 in the elevator was getting impatient waiting. Although he could go up first, he was more worried that these people standing on the first floor would attract zombies.

Bai Li didn't say it was her home, and took Xinxin's grandfather directly to the fourth floor.

When Xinxin's grandfather saw that the door to be repaired was 401's gate, he was surprised, and he could tell at a glance that the door was violently damaged.

But he didn't ask anything, just nodded and said, "It can be repaired. The tools and parts needed are at my house."

He Meng immediately said, "Uncle, I will accompany you back later, and I won't let your cultivation be in vain."

She put the backpack and two shoulder bags back into the bedroom. After a while, she came out with a full shoulder bag and handed it to Grandpa Xinxin. "This is your reward. Don't think it's too little."

There were three bottles of mineral water, several bags of bread, instant noodles, sausages and some snacks in the bag, and on top was a pack of wet wipes and a pack of napkins.

"This, this, this is too much."

Grandpa Xinxin looked at the bag with a little excitement. If he went out to look for things, he might not be able to find so much.

It was just helping someone fix a door, not to mention they had just saved him.

He turned his head and looked at Bai Li, "Qiqi's mother, if it were normal times, I would definitely not ask for anything and repair this girl for free, but now there is not much food left at home, Xinxin and Dandan can't go hungry."

Dandan is Xinxin's younger sister and she is three years old.

Bai Li roughly understood that when the virus broke out on the 28th, Xinxin's parents must have gone out to work, leaving only the grandparents at home with the two children.

Xinxin's mother was probably afraid that her children would be infected with the flu, so she didn't let them go to school.

"Uncle, take it. You are doing her a great favor by fixing the door for her now."

Seeing Bai Li also said so, Xinxin's grandfather had no choice but to take the bag and assured He Meng, "Girl, don't worry, I can definitely make your door as good as before."

I'm not bragging. When he was in his hometown, if his craftsmanship was second to none in the surrounding villages, no one dared to claim to be first. It was because his son was afraid that he would work too hard, and because they needed him and his wife to go to the city to help take care of the children, that's why he gave up his craft.

Bai Li walked to the window and looked downstairs. At this moment, everyone who could run in had come in, and those who couldn't run in were left outside the door.

But not all those who came in were human. Two men who had obviously turned into zombies staggered towards the depths of the community. A woman from an unknown building had encountered something and kept screaming.

"Sister, the zombies are gone. How about I go back with uncle now?"

Having witnessed Bai Li killing zombies with his own eyes, He Meng is not so afraid of these things anymore. If they really come over, he will just chop them with a knife. Anyway, it will be either him or me who will die, so what is there to be afraid of?
Qiqi is not afraid of a child who is only a few years old. She can’t be worse than a child, right?

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Bai Li wanted to send Bao and Qiqi home. Although the little guys were not very happy, they knew they had to be obedient at this time because Xinxin’s grandfather’s legs were not good and his mother had to protect him.

If he follows, then mom will have to take care of two people, which is too tiring.

In just a few minutes, Bai Li came down from the fifth floor with a bag on her shoulder, which was also bulging with things.

"Let's go now."
