Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 4 Missed Call
It took less than half an hour from the time she went to pick up Xiaowu to the time she returned home, but Bai Li felt that the world had changed. It was so magical that it no longer resembled the original world.

what happened?
She helplessly felt around her body but couldn't find her cell phone. Then she remembered that she had sent a message to the single mother during dinner, asking her if the barrel of gasoline was for her and how much it cost.

After asking, she put her phone on the dining table and forgot to take it with her when she went out.

"Mom, your phone is here."

Out of fear, Qiqi followed Bai Li closely. When he saw her movements, he knew she was looking for her cell phone, so he ran to the dining table and handed it to her.

Bai Li touched her son's little head and opened her cell phone, only to find three missed calls, all from her husband Jiang Minglang.

She tried to call back, but found that her cell phone had no signal.

Bai Li walked around the room holding her phone, but still found nothing.

Apart from the three missed calls, there was no message at all, and the single mother did not reply to her message.

She had a hunch that Jiang Minglang's call was related to what happened today, otherwise he wouldn't have just called without sending a message.

The three missed calls were consecutive, which means he made three calls in a row after one. He must have been anxious to make sure that she and her son were okay.

There may be more than three. When I wanted to call the fourth one, there was no signal.

Although she felt a little disappointed that she didn't receive a call from her husband, Bai Li felt better because Jiang Minglang was able to call her, which proved that he was safe.

At least it was fine when I called.

But at the same time, does it also indicate that the phenomenon of people turning into monsters and biting and eating people is not only happening here, but also in other places?
Is that right?

Jiang Minglang himself is not in Su City. He is on a mission, but it is unclear where he is.

Bai Li turned her head blankly to look out the window again. From just now until now, the sounds of screaming and shouting for help had almost never stopped, but sadly, she had never heard any sirens.

She got up and drew all the curtains of the two bedrooms and a study, and suddenly the whole room became dark.

But Bai Li didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she felt that this was safe.

"Mother."

Qiqi followed her closely. The child was very nervous, but not that scared.

Because for children, the most frightening thing is not having their mother around.

At this time, Bai Li had completely calmed down and had a certain degree of acceptance of the current situation.

After all, you have to survive no matter what.

So what else can you do if you don’t accept it?

Should I go crazy or kill those monsters?
It's impossible.

If that's the case, she has to face it. After all, she is not alone. She still has a son, her husband who hasn't come back yet, and her father, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousin in her hometown.

Thinking of this, Bai Li took a deep breath, half squatted down and hugged her son, then looked into his eyes and said softly, "Qiqi, Mommy doesn't know what happened outside, how about this, you and Mommy find the answer together, let's explore this world together and find out why those people become like this. Even if we can't find it, we have to find a way to deal with or avoid them, okay?"

Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up, he was no longer nervous and at a loss. He still remembered what his father would tell him every time he left home, that he was a man and could not rely on his mother for everything, and that he should help and protect his mother when necessary.

Doesn’t the current situation require him to help his mother?

Thinking of this, Qiqi nodded heavily, "I understand, Mom. I will work with you to find the answer, or find a way to deal with them. In short, we have to be good and wait until Dad comes back."

"Yes, you and I, as well as Xiaowu and Xiaofeng, we all have to be well and wait for Dad to come back." The boy might be born to like things like knives and guns. After saying that, Qiqi turned and ran into the study. He skillfully dragged out an iron box from the innermost cabinet. After opening it, he pointed at the three knives, two long and one short, and said crisply, "Mom, you take a long knife and I take a short knife. We will use them to defend ourselves. If any monster bites us, we will kill them. Dad said this is called self-defense and it is not against the law."

Bai Li didn't think of this, although she knew about the iron box and the three knives that were collected by Jiang Minglang and were worth a lot of money.

One of them, long and one short, had sharp edges, and the other one did not.

She took out the long knife with a sharp blade and weighed it. It was a little heavier than she thought, but fortunately, she could use it. The most important thing was that the knife was relatively narrow, which made it very convenient to use, not to mention its sharpness.

Jiang Minglang had demonstrated it to her when he first brought it home. He couldn't say that it could cut iron like mud, but it could definitely make hair break by blowing it.

The short knife is actually more like a longer dagger, and is as sharp as the long knife in her hand.

The appearance of the two knives doubled Bai Li's sense of security. Now, there was no need to worry about whether it was appropriate for her son to hold a dagger. As long as it could save his life, anything would be appropriate.

"Qiqi, this knife is very sharp, remember not to hurt yourself when you hold it."

"Don't worry, mom. Dad taught me how to hold it."

The mother and son each took a knife and left the study, and they were no longer panicked.

Bai Li looked at the time. It was not yet ten o'clock.

But she always felt that something would happen next, so in order to prevent it from happening, she decided to cook!

"Qiqi, hold the phone for mom. Once there is a signal, call mom immediately."

Qiqi took the phone and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mom, I promise to complete the task."

Before going to the kitchen, Bai Li came to the balcony again. She opened a slit in the curtains and looked across the street again. In just a moment, the roars and cries for help disappeared, but there seemed to be more "people" than before. Each of them had a wooden expression on their face, and some were turning in circles or walking forward in a daze.

Most of these "people" had wounds on their faces, necks and bodies, with blood all over their bodies. Some had half of their face skin drooping, some were missing an eyeball, and some had half of their neck missing, but they were unaware of it and continued walking numbly.

Until a scream was heard from the intersection on the right, and they seemed to have suddenly received some kind of signal, and they staggered and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

Bai Li naturally couldn't see the situation at the intersection on the right, but she still hoped that the girl who had just screamed could run away.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she has to shut up and stop screaming.

The more dangerous it is, the quieter you must stay. Otherwise, you will only put yourself in a more dangerous situation and die faster!
"Mom, still no signal."

Qiqi knelt beside her legs and looked out the window with her, occasionally looking down at the phone in his hand.

I carried out my mother's orders and instructions very thoroughly.

Bai Li frowned slightly. What situation could cause the network to be suddenly interrupted?
She turned into the study and turned on her computer, but there was no signal just like her cell phone.

Without the Internet, there will be no communication. Is it man-made or unintentional?

No one could give Bai Li an answer, and she soon stopped worrying about the issue, closed her computer and went to the kitchen to cook.

When washing the rice and putting it into the rice cooker, Bai Li stared at the power plug for a few seconds, then turned around and filled a measuring cup with three cups of rice. After washing it, she put it into the rice cooker, added water, then covered the lid and pressed the cook button.

Then she began to process the meat she had bought that morning.

The kitchen window was open. Bai Li looked out through the screen from time to time, wondering if the smell would have any effect on those "people" who had turned into monsters.
