Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 7 The doorbell rang
"You still can't get through to your grandma?"

Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda walked out together. After receiving the news about his wife and children, his steps became lighter and he was in the mood to care about his subordinates.

"No, ever since she had ear problems, she often doesn't carry her cell phone with her. Often she doesn't even notice when it runs out of battery."

After his parents had an accident when he was young, Zhang Shaoda was raised by his grandmother. She is the only relative he has in this world.

So the call didn't go through, and he sincerely hoped that the phone had turned off by itself and his grandmother didn't notice.

Jiang Minglang patted his shoulder and consoled him, "From the information we have received so far, the situation in the countryside is better. After all, each family has its own yard and they don't live in a concentrated area. Your grandma doesn't go out very often, so she must be fine at home."

Of course, the premise is that the old lady herself will not be infected with the virus.

But this speculation was too cruel for Zhang Shaoda, and he couldn't say it out even if he had it in his heart.

"Heizi, Leizi, let's go."

This is a gas station with a supermarket next to it, which is a great place for them to refuel their cars and replenish supplies.

After they came out of the hospital, they spent most of the day trying to get out of the city center, including sending medical staff and patients home.

They have done everything they can, and now they have to think about themselves and go home to take care of their families and families.

There were a row of cars parked in the gas station. Jiang Minglang looked at the 19 brothers lined up neatly in front of the cars, feeling mixed emotions.

There were a total of thirty people in their team including him. Before setting out on the mission, no one had expected that ten of them would die in Yunzhou.

If the mission was really dangerous, it would be understandable if we fell into the hands of the enemy.

But what about the facts?

They were sent to the hospital to be suppressed without being told the truth, and they were trapped inside and were about to be killed. Jiang Minglang had considered contacting his superiors, but the world was in chaos, and finding someone that normally would take only a few minutes was now as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He is not a indecisive person. Although he wants to seek justice for his dead brother, the living are more important, and his family is more important.

"Captain, are we really going to disband? Why don't we go back to the troops and take a look?"

The person who was questioning him was the deputy captain Xu Bo. His parents were now with his brother and sister-in-law, and he had confirmed that the whole family was safe, so there was nothing for him to worry about. He also had a six-year-old daughter, who was awarded to his ex-wife when they divorced two years ago.

To be precise, it was his ex-wife who threatened him with death, forced him to give up custody and forbade him to see his daughter again.

People in their line of work don't have much time to spend at home, so even though they were reluctant, they still agreed.

Last year, his ex-wife remarried and he secretly went to see his daughter. He was relieved to see that everything was fine with her.

After that, I had no worries at all and could devote all my energy to work.

Now that I suddenly heard that the group was disbanded, I didn’t know what to do for a moment and felt very confused.

"Lao Xu, you should go find your daughter. After all, you have to confirm your own child in person before you can feel at ease."

Jiang Minglang knew that Xu Bo felt disappointed, but he did not agree with it.

He has a responsibility to his troops and brothers, and he has an even greater responsibility to his wife and children. Not to mention that he can't contact his superiors now, even if he can, he must go home first. He has to ensure that his wife and children are under his watch before he can feel at ease.

"Captain, how about this? I'll go find my daughter first. If she's fine with her mother and doesn't need me, I'll go to each of their homes one by one. If everything goes well and everyone is safe, I'll return to our unit."

Jiang Minglang nodded, "Okay, but Lao Xu, you have to be careful. Don't help strangers on the road. Prioritize your own safety. The same goes for you. Time is life. It is very likely that when you help strangers on the road, your family is also in danger.

After our team is disbanded today, we are no longer soldiers, but sons of our parents, husbands of our wives, and fathers of our children."

When Jiang Minglang parted ways with his teammates and left Yunzhou to rush to Sucheng, Bai Li was sitting at home, staring at the message he sent over and over again. In fact, there was nothing interesting to see, because everything that could be explained had just been explained on the phone.

It was too late for her to realize the virus outbreak in Su City now, because there had already been unrest in Yunzhou caused by the virus two days ago.

So when she went to the market in the morning and saw those vegetable stall owners with strange expressions, were they all infected with the virus?

Bai Li couldn't help but shiver. She really was lucky to have saved her life.

Exit Jiang Minglang's message and open the two messages that Bao Xiaolin sent at some point in time -
[Lizhi, there was an accident at the gas station. Our team leader bit my other two colleagues to death as soon as we arrived in the morning. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran into the locker room to escape. I wanted to call the police, but the call was not connected.]

[Lizhi, I beat our team leader to death. I smashed his head with a hammer. There was nothing I could do. He was blocking the door. If I didn't kill him, he would bite me to death. But I couldn't die. I had to go to school to find Yueyue.]

Just for the mother!

Bao Xiaolin must have realized that something was wrong, so she risked her life to pick up her daughter Yueyue from school.

Killing a zombie is nothing. Back then, for Yueyue, she even dared to use a knife against her ex-husband.

After coming home from overtime work in the middle of the night, I found that my daughter had a fever of 40 degrees, but my husband was playing games all night and ignored her.

At that time, Bao Xiaolin almost chopped her ex-husband to pieces. If the knife had not been crooked, she would have successfully castrated him.

Therefore, her divorce went smoothly and she successfully got the house she lives in now.

Bai Li admires Bao Xiaolin, so there is a reason why they are close.

She looked out the window. It was only 3:30 in the afternoon, but the sky had already turned completely dark. The drizzle was heavier than during the day, and it fell on the clothesline outside the balcony, making a crisp sound.

Those who were infected with the virus during the day, and those who were bitten by the infected and turned into zombies, wandered on the road like ghosts, and from time to time made a hoarse sound in their throats, as if they were choking on a mouthful of phlegm and wanted to vomit but couldn't.

I don’t know if everyone has adapted to it, but there are a lot fewer screams now.

"Mom, are they really zombies?"

The mother and daughter sat against the window, looking out through the gaps in the curtains.

"That's what your dad said."

Bai Li tilted her head and looked towards the gate of the community. The security guard at the gate had turned into a zombie, and there were seven or eight people blocking the entrance. If Bao Xiaolin picked up Yueyue, would she be able to enter the community smoothly?
Bai Li frowned and thought deeply, thinking of a way to lure the zombies at the door away.

But no one knows when Bao Xiaolin will be able to come back.

Although there was no signal, she still edited a message, hoping to send it out as soon as the signal appeared.

In the evening, Bai Li simply cooked two bowls of noodles and paired them with a few slices of braised beef from lunch. Qiqi was very satisfied with the meal.

Xiaowu eats his own dog food, and Xiaofeng eats bird food.

After dinner, Qiqi continued to sit on the balcony and observe the outside, while Bai Li went to the other side to count the lights on in the two buildings opposite.

Out of caution, she did not turn on the lights in her house. Even when she was eating, she just moved the night light on the bedside to the dining table.

When she was washing the dishes, Qiqi used a flashlight to illuminate her, and the water came from the water purifier.

Even at home, the four of them tried not to make any noise and keep quiet.

But Bai Li never expected that at 10:30 pm, when she and Qiqi finally fell asleep, the doorbell rang.
