Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 37 Cleaning the Corridor
May 2nd, the fifth day of the end of the world.

The lingering drizzle that lasted for more than half a month finally stopped today, the clouds dispersed, and the morning light appeared.

"Okay, half a basin will do."

The sun was about to rise and Bai Li was bending over the sink, washing clothes.

All my clothes these days are dried in the dryer. Although they are not damp, the feeling when wearing them is still different from those dried in the sun.

After the water turned murky these days, I even dared not use the washing machine.

Fortunately, Qiqi was able to drain the water, so she could wash her clothes with clean water.

Qiqi was running water for her while eating bread. From time to time, he would turn his head to look at the door and muttered quietly, "Wenwen's mother is so mean. She let so many zombies into the corridor, harming others and herself. She is crazy!"

Because the sounder on their door was taken away and crushed by Bai Li, the zombies didn't come up.

But the situation on the first and second floors was different. Just by listening to the disgusting gurgling sound, you knew it must be piled up in the corridor on the first floor.

There are also some on the third and fourth floors, but not as many as below.

Bai Li guessed that the zombies would not be able to climb the stairs on their own, but because there were so many of them piled up, they squeezed one by one and walked up.

After washing the clothes, Bai Li opened the curtains on the balcony and saw several zombies wandering on the road outside. She guessed that someone must have driven past this road last night.

It seems that more and more people want to leave Suzhou. This is not surprising. The purpose of living in the city is to make work and life more convenient, but now both are gone, and there are crises everywhere.

But, can I get out?
She felt that Qiao Fei and the others must have successfully left. If by chance she took Qiao Fei's path, then the chances of being able to leave would be very high.

There are three roads leading to the highway from the entrance of their community to the west.

"Mom, Aunt Xiaolin threw a doll outside. It was Yueyue's ugly doll that could sing birthday songs."

Last year, on Yueyue’s birthday, her grandmother asked her father to bring her a birthday present, which was an ugly rose-red doll that Bao Xiaolin had thrown downstairs. There was a switch behind its head that would sing Happy Birthday when it was turned on.

It’s 32 yuan each in the store, and even cheaper on Taobao, 20 yuan each with free shipping.

When Bao Xiaolin saw this thing, she was so angry that she laughed. However, she didn't say anything in front of Yueyue. But the little girl obviously didn't like it either. She turned around and threw it into the storage room and never played with it once.

Now it can be regarded as waste utilization.

The squeaking Happy Birthday song sounded on the green lawn downstairs. Zombies gradually came out from the corridor on the first floor and rushed towards the ugly doll one after another.

But it only attracted some of the zombies on the first floor out; those guarding the door and banging on it did not move.

Because the button sounder on the door is still ringing, the zombies that are closer will naturally be attracted to it first.

Hearing the banging of her door, Bao Xiaolin gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice, "You bastard, don't let me know who you are!"

"Mother."

Yueyue grabbed her clothes in fear. From the moment she was beaten by zombies at the door, the little girl had been sticking to her and refused to leave for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, baby. They can't get in."

Although she was comforting her daughter, she was actually worried inside, so just in case, she moved all the food and drinks in the house into the bedroom.

If the door was broken, the mother and daughter would have no choice but to hide in the bedroom.

Of course she would not sit and wait for death, but she would also act within her capabilities and wait for the right opportunity to take action.

Gao Zhiyuan on the third floor was sharpening a machete about 50 centimeters long in the living room. This one was for his son. He had another one that was longer and wider beside him.

Why does he have both an axe and a knife at home?

Because his father sold knives, he gave him a few knives a long time ago as backup.

I used to think that my father was doing something unnecessary. Why would you need such a big machete in the city?

Now I am sincerely grateful to the old man from the bottom of my heart.

"Dad, I'm ready."

Gao Zhiyuan raised his head, looked at his son and asked, "Are you scared?"

Gao Junyu gave him a bright smile and said, "I am afraid, but I am not afraid because my father is here."

"Good son, Dad will hold you back and won't let anything happen to you."

"Ok, I know."

Of course Dad wouldn't let anything happen to him, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to rush into the school to save him.

At this time, Gao Junyu had a bed sheet tied around his waist and held his English player in his hand. He wanted to climb out of his kitchen window, along the protruding edge, and climb to the small window at the entrance of the corridor.

Then turn on the player and put it on the windowsill.

In this way, some zombies will be attracted over, and the number staying at his doorstep will decrease, and his father will seize the opportunity to go out and kill a few of them.

If the plan goes well, the father and son will get rid of all the zombies at their doorstep.

On the fourth floor, He Meng from room 401 was gritting his teeth, holding the machete given by Gao Zhiyuan, and practicing repeatedly in the living room how to chop zombies. There were no standard or professional movements, he just thought about the moves that Bai Li used to kill zombies yesterday, and simulated them over and over again.

"Come on, come on, if you dare to come in, I will chop you to death!"

Damn, my front door was just repaired!

On the fifth floor, Bai Li finished drying her clothes and changed into a black sportswear that was originally going to be discarded. Then she picked up her knife and turned back to Qiqi and said, "Mom is out."

Qiqi nodded, put Fengbao on her mother's head, and told her, "Fengbao, don't let her down. And you, Xiaowu, you must protect your mother. I'll cook some meat bones for you when we get back."

Xiaowu wagged his tail and laughed at him.

Feng Bao glanced at Qiqi with his dark little eyes, snorted and turned his head away.

"Hum? What are you humming?"

Qiqi always felt that Fengbao seemed to have grown up a bit in the past two days, and his expressions and reactions became more and more like those of a human.

It just deserves a beating, because the way it reacted to him seemed to be looking down on him.

You are just a poor bird, who are you looking down on?

Bai Li opened the door, with a bird on her head and a dog under her feet, and walked slowly down the stairs from the fifth floor to the fourth floor.

Ho-ho, ho-ho.
The roars and banging of the zombies had drowned out the sound of the sounder on the door, but even so, they were still attracted to pounce on the door.

Bai Li cursed in her heart, it’s been ringing for over an hour and it’s still ringing.

I heard that Wenwen’s father is the vice president of an electronics company, so is this thing produced by their own company?

Instead of using it in the right way, it is used to harm people!
Damn it!
Bang Bang~~
After going down one flight of stairs, Bai Li stood on the fourth and a half floor. She knocked on the handrail twice with a knife. The zombies standing in 401 turned their heads and rushed towards her, making hoarse noises.

"Fengbao, Xiaowu."

Seeing two zombies running up, Bai Li whispered to them, "Breathe fire!"

Feng Bao didn't say anything, but Xiao Wu had already opened his mouth and spit out a fist-sized ball of red light at the zombies. With a puff, one of the zombies immediately turned into a fire man and turned into ashes in an instant, scattering on the ground.

Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, Bai Li was even more shocked than what she had heard before.

Her little five
She really found a treasure!

After the first red light, Xiao Wu spewed out three more, and then it went silent. "Xiao Wu is awesome! Feng Bao, take it back."

"what!"

This was the first sound the silly little bird made after it came out. Without waiting for Xiaowu to retreat and turn around, it flapped its wings and flew home impatiently.

Bai Li went down to meet a zombie, swung his knife and chopped off one of its heads, followed by the second, third, and fourth.

There are only eight zombies climbing up to the fourth floor. Kill them all.

Bai Li walked to the door of Room 401, snatched the sounder from the door, threw it on the ground and crushed it.

At this moment, a burst of chattering English suddenly sounded from the windowsill between the third and second floors.

Affected by the sound, a series of rolling and collision sounds were heard in the corridor on the third floor. Those were the sounds of zombies stepping on empty air and rolling down the stairs when they were trying to pounce on the source of the sound.

Because of the noise, Bai Li, who was standing in the corridor on the fourth floor, looked very inconspicuous. None of the zombies on the third floor looked up at her.

She was about to walk downstairs with the knife in her hand when the door of 401 behind her suddenly made a click. He Meng walked out and said with gratitude, "Sister, thank you. You saved me again."

again?
Bai Li wanted to remind her that it was not her who saved her last time, but Qiao Fei.

But now was not a good time to talk, so she did not respond to He Meng. She just raised her hand and pointed downstairs, then walked downstairs.

He Meng nervously held the machete in his hand and followed behind.

The two went down to the third and a half floor and saw that there were many more zombies at the doors of 301 and 302 than on the fourth floor. Even though some of them pounced on the windowsills of the second and a half floor, there were still a dozen left.

Bai Li knocked the handrail twice with the knife in his hand as usual. The sound and the presence of living people attracted the zombies to climb up one after another.

Practice makes perfect. Now Bai Li can chop zombies with no effort at all. Or maybe he has become numb to it and no longer treats their heads as human ones, which makes it easier for him to accept it mentally.

The corridor was narrow, and He Meng wanted to help but was afraid of holding Bai Li back or hurting her by mistake.

So she held the knife for a long time, but it was of no use.

After killing six, three were climbing up, and four were shouting behind and also wanted to climb up. At this time, the door of 301 opened.

Gao Zhiyuan walked out of the house holding a 60-centimeter-long axe and chopped at the zombies that were facing Bai Li and trying to climb the stairs.

Puff, boom!

A head fell to the ground.

He didn't even look at it, and swung his knife to cut the second one.
"Sister, leave one for me. Let me take this one."

Seeing Bai Li and Gao Zhiyuan attacking from the front and back, there was soon only one zombie left among the seven. He Meng quickly spoke up to stop the knife that Bai Li raised.

Then he rushed forward, shouted loudly, and chopped the zombie's neck with the machete in both hands.

puff!
The blade successfully penetrated the neck, but the zombie did not die because it was only halfway penetrated. The machete was stuck in the zombie's neck and could not be pulled out.

Ho ho.

Zombies have no sense of pain. Even though only half of their necks are connected to their bodies, they still excitedly open their mouths to take a bite of the delicious food.

The fishy smell sprayed all over He Meng's face, and she was so nervous that she didn't react in time to dodge. The zombie's mouth was almost reaching her neck, and then the head tilted, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled to the side.

"Xiao He, how can you be distracted when killing zombies?"

Gao Zhiyuan, who was standing opposite him, put down the axe in his hand and reminded He Meng, "You still need to practice more."

He Meng blushed and thanked him, "I understand, Brother Gao. I will pay attention next time."

The third floor was cleaned up, the sounder on the door was taken down and crushed, and then the three of them went downstairs.

Because the corridor was narrow, they could only walk one after the other.

This time Gao Zhiyuan was in the lead, He Meng was in the middle, and Bai Li was at the end.

On the windowsill on the second floor, Gao Junyu's English player was still playing, and a bunch of zombies were surrounding it, howling.

Gao Zhiyuan imitated Bai Li and knocked on the stair railing twice. The clanging sound attracted some zombies to look back, and then they stupidly jumped up with their mouths wide open.

Gao Zhiyuan chopped down four zombies in one breath, and when it came to the fifth one, he signaled He Meng to go up.

Although she was still very nervous, her hands did not shake this time. When she chopped the zombie's neck horizontally, she cut off most of it in one stroke. Only a little flesh was left connected to the body. The whole head was tilted to the side, and it was dead.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Gao Zhiyuan gave affirmation and praise, "Keep up the good work, and you will definitely do better next time."

"Thank you, Brother Gao."

He Meng was very happy.

After clearing out the zombies on the second floor, Gao Zhiyuan turned off his son’s English player, picked it up and put it in his trouser pocket.

Although the sounder on the door of 201 was still ringing, the movements of the three of them had already attracted the attention of the zombies, so without waiting for them to go down, the zombies piled up and scrambled to climb up.

"Brother Gao, take a break, I'll do it."

Bai Li didn't take action against the zombies on the second floor just now, so now it's Gao Zhiyuan's turn to rest and she takes over.

He Meng was still waiting for the opportunity to kill the lone person.

There was no other way. Her knife was just average and her strength was not great. If she really wanted to take the lead, she would be just showing off her strength.

Bai Li killed eight in one breath and left the ninth to He Meng.

Then she took a break and Gao Zhiyuan took over.

At this moment, with a click, the door of 201 was quickly opened and then quickly closed.

Bao Xiaolin was holding the same long knife as Bai Li, and she killed each zombie one by one, then kicked downstairs. With her strength, she was able to kick a zombie directly from the second floor to the wall of the first and a half floors. There was a loud bang. If it were an ordinary person, several ribs on his back would have been broken.

The zombie's legs and ribs were also broken, and when he crawled up from the ground, his walking posture was deformed.

"Xiao He, this is for you."

"Okay, Miss Bao."

He Meng ran to the first floor and swung his knife. Although he still failed to chop off the zombie's head with one blow, he didn't get it into the neck either. After the first chop, he pulled it out and chopped the second time.

The head landed perfectly.

Because of the birthday song outside, there were only a few zombies left on the first floor, only two or three, and they were all left to He Meng to practice.

After everything was cleaned up, several people closed the glass door of the corridor and moved the coffee table back to block the door.

Bai Li then talked about what the woman in Room 602 had done, which made Bao Xiaolin and the other two furious.

"Damn it, does she think we are easy to bully because we have no temper? She usually relies on her husband's ability to make money and acts like she has a fortune of 2.58 million. Who does she think she is? I didn't bother to pay attention to her before, but it wasn't because I was afraid of her."

He Meng killed a few zombies and lost his temper. He said angrily, "Let's go find her. If I don't beat the shit out of her today, I won't be named He!"

The door that I finally found someone to repair was almost broken by her.
