Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 55 Discovery
Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda packed up Bai Li's things that were left in the living room and moved them to the car downstairs.

The two big men were tall and strong, and they moved all the clothes and quilts piled in the living room in just one trip.

The water and food in the trunk were moved to the back seat, leaving only two barrels of gasoline on the side.

"Hey, you guys, are you here to save us?"

After putting their things away, the two were about to go upstairs to check again, then rest for an hour before setting off.

At this time, the window on the second floor of Building No. 2 across the street opened a crack, and a woman stood behind it, holding onto the curtains, and asked tremblingly, "Are you soldiers?"

Jiang Minglang couldn't see her face clearly, but he noticed that as soon as the woman's voice came out, the big orange cat that was originally lying on the tree on the second floor stood up and meowed at her.

But when the woman heard this, she slammed the window again.

Jiang Minglang frowned in confusion.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "I'm not a rescue worker, I'm the owner of the household here."

Then he pointed at the big orange cat and asked the woman, "Is this your cat? If so, you'd better keep it with you. It can protect you."

"It suddenly grew so big that it ate up all the rice, ham and steamed buns I cooked overnight. There is nothing to eat at home. If I still bring it with me, it will definitely eat me in the end."

The woman complained in a crying voice, "Whose cat is this big? It's not even a cat at all."

Jiang Minglang patiently explained to her, "Now that the virus has broken out and the environment has changed, people can turn into zombies, not to mention animals. But your orange cat is mutating in the direction of adapting to the environment. It is clear-headed and has not lost its mind. You..."

"No!" The woman interrupted Jiang Minglang firmly, "If you like it, take it away. Please take it away and don't let me see it again!"

I don’t know if the big orange cat could understand what the woman said. It stood on the tree and stared blankly at the window, with deep sadness revealed in its amber eyes.

Finally, he raised his head and meowed into the air, then suddenly jumped off the tree and ran out of the community in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Minglang sighed, really not knowing what to say.

He turned around and went upstairs with Zhang Shaoda, but the woman called out from behind, "Hey, soldier, can you take me with you?"

"No."

Jiang Minglang refused without even turning his head.

When passing the second floor, the door of Room 202 opened with a click. A messy head poked out abruptly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me, is there no rescue? Does the country not care about this situation?"

Maybe they will, but Jiang Minglang is not in the mood to analyze how and who will do it.

He was still furious about being abandoned and betrayed in Yunzhou. If his superiors contacted him and wanted him to go on a mission again, they would first have to give him an explanation and give justice to his dead brother.

Yu Chengping!
The deputy mayor of Yunzhou City who issued the order to seal off the hospital had already boarded a plane and left the moment Jiang Minglang and his team came out.

"We have already retired. How can we possibly know about the country's affairs?"

Zhang Shaoda answered the question about the head on behalf of Jiang Minglang.

Fourth floor.

The mother of the child in Room 402 had seen Jiang Minglang and she recognized him.

"ChiChi Dad, can I drive behind you out of town?"

She looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes, choking with sobs, "My husband hasn't come back, maybe, maybe he's already dead, and now there are only a few of us, the old, the young, the women and the children, left at home. I heard that the road out of the city is blocked, and we don't dare to go. Please, we will just follow you and won't bother you. OK?"

The road out of town is blocked?
Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda looked at each other. When they came here, they took a small road in the suburbs, which was some distance away from the highway intersection, so they didn't know the specific situation over there.

"We'll set off in half an hour. Let me make it clear that what follows is your own choice. We won't stop no matter what happens in between."

402's mother was startled, then nodded her head in ecstasy, "I know, I know. Don't worry, I will follow closely and will definitely not delay your trip."

Jiang Minglang nodded calmly, turned around and was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by her, "Qiqi Dad, that..."

The woman hesitated, seeming to be hesitant to speak, as if she had difficulty in saying what to say next.

Jiang Minglang was most annoyed by people who kept procrastinating. He looked down at his watch impatiently. It was already 7:30 and it was already dark. If he set out at 8 o'clock to chase his wife, he didn't know when he would catch up with her. He strode upstairs.

"Qiqi's mother left with a man from our neighborhood this morning."

When Jiang Minglang stopped to look over, the woman in Room 402 seemed to explain for Bai Li, "Qiqi's father, don't think too much. After all, it's too chaotic and dangerous now. She's a woman with a child. She'll have to find someone to accompany her to leave the city."

This statement is ambiguous, it's better not to say it.

Zhang Shaoda rolled his eyes and urged Jiang Minglang, "Let's go, boss."

The two returned to 501. Jiang Minglang turned on a high-intensity flashlight to look at the map Bai Li left on the dining table, analyzing which route she would most likely take.

"Boss, that woman just now was obviously trying to sow discord between us, my sister-in-law."

"Would I not trust your sister-in-law?"

Jiang Minglang raised his head and glanced at him, "I know your sister-in-law better than anyone else."

"Yes, yes, you know it, you know it best."

Zhang Shaoda rolled his eyes speechlessly again and muttered quietly, "As if others don't know how good you two are."

Jiang Minglang was looking at a map, while Zhang Shaoda was walking around the house with a flashlight.

When he walked to the utility room with the door half open, he was suddenly stunned, turned his head and shouted, "Boss, come here."

Jiang Minglang was marking on the map with a pencil. He put down his pen and walked over when he heard this.

Zhang Shaoda had already pushed open the door of the utility room and shone the flashlight inside, revealing a sea of green.

Jiang Minglang stood at the door, gasped, and widened his eyes in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, is this a wood element?"

There are green ivy piled up in almost half of the house. No one would believe me if I said I grew it myself.

"Clean it out first, otherwise it will rot in the house in a few days."

After being surprised, Jiang Minglang understood what his wife meant. She was telling him not to worry too much and that she was capable of protecting herself and her son.

The ability of the wood element to promote the growth of green radish is definitely more than just the ability to promote growth.

As for why I didn’t write this down on the note, it might be because I was afraid he wouldn’t believe it, and this way it would be more intuitive.

The two threw all the green radishes out through the balcony window, then took the map and went downstairs.

Only ten minutes had passed from the time I went upstairs to the time I left.

But he didn't stop when he passed the fourth floor. Why would he take a woman who had ill intentions towards his wife with him?
There's nothing wrong with his brain.

However, when the car started, the grandfather of 402 still heard it. He leaned out of the window, then turned around and yelled at his daughter-in-law anxiously, "Didn't you tell him to leave in half an hour? Why are you leaving now?"

The woman who was still stuffing clothes into the box was stunned when she heard this. She hurriedly stood up and rushed to the window, just in time to see the rear of a dark blue SUV driving towards the gate.

The woman jumped up anxiously and urged her parents-in-law, "Come on, come on, come downstairs quickly. I told you to pack up a long time ago, but you refused to listen. Now you are ready, hurry up, why are you still dawdling?"

There were about ten boxes and bags of various sizes on the floor of her living room. She didn't care whether her car could fit them all. She just looked at the things in the house and wanted to take everything away.

Two minutes ago, her mother-in-law was still complaining while packing, "Why do we have to leave at night? Can't you tell him to leave early tomorrow morning? Where are we going to sleep when we are out of town in the middle of the night?"

He keeps nagging and talking, and the women who listen to him are going crazy.

At this moment, he didn't bother to put clothes in, he closed the box and ran downstairs with it.

When the old couple came down with their things and grandson, they started clamoring and refused to let her start the car. After they went back and forth three times to move the things, they were dumbfounded as soon as the car drove out of the community.

The road was empty, and there was no sign of Jiang Minglang's car.
