Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 41 The Sixth Day

May 3rd, the sixth day of the apocalypse.

Bai Li slept soundly that night and did not open her eyes until seven in the morning when she noticed some noise outside the door.

"Sister, Brother Gao and Junyu are back."

Bai Li opened the door, and He Meng happily shared the good news with her, but then looked strange.

Bai Li let her in and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is it Brother Gao and the others?"

"No, no, it's not Brother Gao and Junyu, it's." He Meng pointed upward with his right index finger and whispered, "The father of the family in Room 602 has returned, but he has been sitting in the car and has not gotten out. At first, Brother Gao thought that he didn't get out of the car because there were zombies around the car, but after he dealt with the zombies, the man still didn't get out of the car. Brother Gao couldn't help but take a look into his car. Guess what?"

Seeing her mysterious and gossipy face, Bai Li asked politely, "What's the matter?"

"There was a woman in the back seat of his car, and she seemed to be asleep."

Bai Li:.
He came back on the sixth day after the apocalypse. Instead of going upstairs to check on his wife and two children, he stayed in the car guarding a woman?
What the hell is this bullshit?
Bai Li was speechless.

"Sister, what do you think is his relationship with that woman?"

"I don't want to guess."

Bai Li turned and walked to the dining table and poured half a cup of warm water from the kettle. This was the water she had boiled in the electric kettle yesterday morning when there was no power outage. She had been drinking it very sparingly until now and there was not much left.

She interrupted He Meng's gossip and asked, "Has Brother Gao dealt with the matter of his sister-in-law?"

"It's been taken care of. He found a place outside to cremate her. Junyu came back with his mother's ashes."

"That's good."

Speaking of this, He Meng told her about the plan she and Gao Zhiyuan had discussed. "Sister, Gao Ge and Junyu plan to take a day off today and leave early tomorrow morning. I will go with them. So what are your plans?"

"Four days. I will wait for my husband for another four days. If he doesn't come, I will take Qiqi away."

Then leave him a note at home, and when he sees it he will naturally know where to find them.

He Meng breathed a sigh of relief. "It would be best if we could leave as soon as possible. Not to mention the zombies and the inconveniences in life, even outside, look at the downstairs of Building No. 2. There is already garbage everywhere."

I didn't dare go downstairs in the past few days, and I was throwing away some daily rubbish and kitchen waste. But after the water and power outage yesterday morning, downstairs became much more lively, with all kinds of things being thrown away.

It is not difficult to imagine what the city will be like in a few days.

At this time, the retreat for most people is the countryside.

In any case, the city will certainly be uninhabitable until order is restored and things can function properly.

But He Meng's parents live in the city, but she has already agreed with Gao Zhiyuan that after she returns to Huacheng to pick up her parents, she will go to Qiaotou Village where Gao Zhiyuan is.

He said that there was an elderly person next door who was covered by the Five Guarantees. His parents had been taking care of him before he passed away. After he passed away, they gave the house and yard to his family. But their own house was big enough for them to live in, so they had not moved the yard.

If He Meng is willing, he can move to their village temporarily.

Bai Li asked curiously, "Are these all your plans for today?"

He Meng nodded. "Yes, I didn't sleep well all night and woke up at 5:30 in the morning. At 6 o'clock, I saw Brother Gao's car coming back, so I took a knife and went down to help. But Brother Gao didn't give me a chance to do anything, he took care of those zombies by himself."

As she said this, she snorted, "That guy in 602 is a bargain."

Just as they were talking about Room 602, they suddenly fell silent because of the sound of leather shoes tapping on the stairs outside the door.

The tapping sound passed the fifth floor and continued up until it stopped on the sixth floor.

"Hey, Brother Yunze, was the lock of your house broken open by someone?"

A surprised female voice sounded, followed by a moment of silence, and the man did not speak.

Then the door seemed to be pushed open and then closed.

Bai Li and He Meng stared at their ears and counted silently in their hearts: 1, 2, 3
When I counted to five, a short and terrifying female voice sounded: "Ah"

He Meng rolled her eyes and whispered to Bai Li, "Sister, although Wenwen's mother is an out-and-out lunatic, I seem to understand that she chose to commit suicide after her son died. Because the man is unreliable and she herself did not protect her son well, she probably thought that she could not protect her daughter either, so she simply took her daughter with her to die in desperation."

It's quite pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

So such people are not worthy of others' sympathy.

He Meng didn't want to talk about this family anymore. She changed the subject and said to Bai Li, "Sister, when Brother Gao and I leave tomorrow, we'll take some of the things we hid in the pharmacy if we have the chance. Don't forget to take the rest. Apart from other things, disposable underwear and wet wipes are all necessities. I don't know when we can buy them again in the future."

Everyone is now at a loss about the future.

The two talked for a while, and then He Meng left to go home and pack his things.

Bai Li opened the refrigerator. Because the power outage had only been one day, the refrigerator had not yet cooled down completely and the food in the freezer had not melted yet, but it still needed to be dealt with as a priority.

So for breakfast she used frozen rice and lamb and vegetables to make lamb and vegetable porridge, and peeled three eggs that she had previously boiled and refrigerated.

She and Qiqi each got one, and there was one for Xiaowu.

When cooking, it was still done in the corridor, and when the wood was lit, it was still Xiaowu who gave a small red light.

Maybe it was because the fire from yesterday had burned Qiqi's hair, and today the dog actually found a way to safely start a fire. What came out of its mouth was a very small flame, as small as a bean.

But once it touched the wood, it suddenly turned into a big flame.

Bai Li didn't quite understand the principle behind this, she only knew that the fire that came out of a dog's mouth was different from ordinary fire.

It’s like the water that Kiki puts in is not like ordinary water.

As for her induction of growth, apart from those garlic sprouts, she has not yet inducing the growth of other edible vegetables, so the situation is unclear at the moment, and she will test it again when conditions permit.

But fortunately, she has a special ability, which makes her feel at ease.

When the mutton porridge boils, the whole corridor is filled with the rich aroma of rice and mutton.

The grandson of Room 402 began to howl again, and the door was about to open. Bai Li vaguely heard the sharp scolding of the old couple--
"Are you still a mother? Your son is so hungry, what's wrong with asking him for a bowl of food?"

"I have never seen a woman as selfish and cruel as you. You eat and sleep all day long and don't care about your children."

"I don't care? Who stopped me when I was in charge? Now that the child has been spoiled by you, you blame me for not caring?"

"We'll let you take care of it now. We won't stop you. Go and get your son a hot bowl of food."

"You guys go if you want to go, I still have some dignity to protect."
