The Walking Dead: Rules of Survival

I took care of the zombies when I led them to the woods.

It's not worth it to look at a rotting corpse and scare the children later.

When I went back, I chopped down many shrubs and branches with a kitchen knife, and dragged back a larger broken branch. I blocked the intersection leading to our house and covered all the shrubs and scattered branches.

After going up, I looked at the only path that was tightly blocked and clapped my hands with satisfaction. It was almost safe now. Even if there were walking corpses passing by at night, as long as we didn't make any noise, they wouldn't accidentally sneak into the house where we lived.

In front of the door.

This delay was a bit long. When he returned to the kitchen, Tingyun fell asleep on the pile of firewood nearby, and Xiaohu was playing with something unknown on the ground nearby.

I glanced at Zingyun, then turned around and went back to the back room, pulled off all the quilts on the bed, found a quilt in the cabinet that was relatively clean even though it had a musty smell, and spread it on the bed, then returned.

He went to the kitchen and carried Tingyun into the back room and put her on the bed. He took off his coat and put it beside her before turning back to the kitchen, ready to look for anything that could be cooked, at least for our dinner tonight.

From noon to now, both children have not eaten with me.

It's really hard for them both not to be hungry.

I found an empty bucket in the kitchen, which should have been used to hold water. After cleaning up the things and spiders inside, I carried it to the yard. When I came in, I saw a well here.

It's like an iron pole, pour some water into the groove in front, and then press the pole up and down, and water will come out soon.

This thing is very rare now.

There was no water in the kitchen, so I took a ladle and went down to the river. I poured a ladle of water and started to press it. I didn’t use the water coming out of the front. The back was relatively clean, and almost all the rust in the well that had not been used for a long time was washed away.

Finally, I asked the little tiger on the side to press it twice for me, and I went to clean the bucket. While I was busy with my work, I also had to look around to make sure there were no walking corpses around.

Although the place where we live is surrounded by a river, there is no obstruction in the middle. When Xiaohu and I are in the yard like this, whenever a walking corpse passes by on the road, we can be seen immediately.

After cleaning the bucket, he took another full bucket and brought it into the house. He washed the pot inside, poured half of the pot of water into it, and started to boil it.

My body was often spattered with the brains and blood of zombies. I just saw a few sets of clothes that were almost wearable in the closet. I washed them and put them on first.

When the water was boiling, Xiaohu was watching the fire for me, and I started to wander around the entire kitchen.

After a lot of work, it was not in vain. I found a small half bag of white flour under the chopping board. There were no worms and it was still edible. There was also a little bit of rice under the bag of flour. I calculated it and it was almost enough for the three of us.

Let's have some porridge tonight.

It's better than nothing, at least you don't have to go hungry tonight.

When the water was warm, I asked to go into the main room and wipe myself inside and out. I threw away all the dirty clothes outside. The blood stains on them couldn't be washed away, so I put on some musty clothes from the cupboard.

The clothes are not really comfortable either.

Xiaohu is a child who is very good at sharing tasks for adults. The porridge is cooked on a small fire. He is in front of the pot and helps me add firewood to it.

The porridge was cooked quickly. I had washed all the dishes. After putting out the fire, I filled a large bowl and brought it to the back room. I woke up Zingyun. The three of us sat on the bed. You drank it in one sip and I drank it in one sip.

A whole bowl of porridge.

After washing another piece of cloth and wiping their hands and faces, I checked the branches blocking the road before I returned to the house.

It's almost getting dark.

I sat on the threshold in front of the hall for a long time, watching the sun gradually disappear and the moon gradually rise in the sky.

A fragment of memory from childhood suddenly came to mind.

At that time, Yangyang was still young, and I lived at my grandma's house for the summer vacation.

At about this time every night, dim lights appear in the courtyards and rooms of every household, and the whole village is filled with the smell of firewood. You can tell from the smell that everyone is preparing dinner for each family.

Then, not long after the meeting, you can see people carrying rice bowls starting to gather in places where there are usually a lot of people gathering on weekdays.

A bunch of guys are eating their own meals and chatting about simple topics. Whose field work is slow today for what reason, and whose work is done faster, can become a topic that everyone talks about.

.

I was young at that time, sitting next to my grandma, but I really felt the real warmth and home at that time.

When I came back to my senses, it was completely dark, and everything around me was in darkness, no matter how far or near, and there was no sign of life.

Even if there are, I'm afraid they are zombies. They won't bring dinner and chat with us. They just want to turn us into dinner.

Probably because of the isolation of this house, or because I haven't been alone outside for so long. Sitting on the threshold, listening to Xiaohu and Tingyun joking quietly in the house, my nose is extremely sore.

.

My heart is filled with a deep sense of loneliness and hesitation.

The fear and helplessness that I had ignored and suppressed all day finally swept towards me on a large scale under the cover of night.

With two children of several years old, staying in this unknown place, I don’t know where I will go tomorrow, I don’t know where the shelter is, and I don’t know if I will encounter a large group of zombies that I can’t resist tomorrow.

, I don’t know where to go either.

And...I miss my son.

He was still so young. He slept with me and Suotian every night. He was still nursing. I couldn’t figure out whether it was one day, two days or three days since he was taken out. Is he still there?

Suotian cried at night and couldn't sleep.

Actually... I'm missing, and the possibility of sleeping in the dark is really slim.

My mind is uncontrollably recalling the way Suotian held Xiao Suotou. In my mind, Xiao Suotou’s fleshy little body is like an invisible hand, scratching my heart. I miss him more and more.

.

I miss them both.

Leaning on the threshold, I shed tears in vain. I am not a strong person to begin with. I am extremely hypocritical. Now I have left the piece of flesh that fell from my body, left my brother, left my husband, and left.

Shen Feng, Han Xue, friends, relatives, and two children were left in this strange place. After working hard all day, it was really unbearable.

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind me. I quickly wiped my tears and knew that it was Xiaohu and Tingyun who came out.

Just as I was about to get up and take them back to coax them to sleep, Xiaohu and Tingyun squatted in front of me, one on the left and the other on the right.

Xiaohu lay on my knees and looked at me for a while before asking: "Sister, why are you crying?"

I wiped my face, not knowing what to say to him, so I could only not answer.

Tingyun on the side thought for a while and then suddenly said to Xiaohu: "Sister wants to lock her head."

The tears that had just stopped flowed out again after hearing Tingyun's words, completely out of control.

He buried his face in his knees and kept wiping his face in an attempt to wipe away his tears, but it just didn't work.

After a while like this, Xiaohu gently patted my knee and said cautiously: "Sister, don't cry. Let's go back to find the lock tomorrow."

Wiping away my tears, I looked up at them both, stretched out my hands to hold them in my arms, kissed each of them, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Okay... let's go find them tomorrow...

Little lock..." At the end of the sentence, his voice began to choke uncontrollably.

People always need to vent their emotions. When I am strong, I bite my teeth and try my best to hold on. When I feel lonely, no one can stop my tears. I just want to

cry.

I used a rod to lock the door of the main room from the inside. The three of us were lying on the bed in the back room. Xiaohu and Tingyun were already fast asleep. My coat covered them just right.

All I can think about is the image of my son, the way he cries, blows bubbles, grins, sucks milk, takes a bath with his bare butt, and is sleeping soundly. They keep going back and forth in my mind.

.

It was like I was suffering in a frying pan, wishing I could appear next to him, hug him, and kiss him. When I thought about my actual situation, I felt so sad that I couldn't control myself.

I can only keep telling myself that Suo Tian will definitely find me here soon.

I try not to think that the world is so big and we are so small. Even if Suotian is full of skills, the possibility of us being separated is still much greater than the chance of encountering each other.

In the end, there was really nothing I could do, so I just comforted myself and went out to the village to look for something tomorrow to see if I could confirm where this was. Then I took the two children back to the shelter!

Thinking this way gave me hope, and my heart suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

Anyway, I can finally fall asleep.

I don’t know if it’s because I don’t feel confident here, but I’m very sensitive when sleeping. In the second half of the night, about two or three zombies passed by on the road outside, and their vague low roars could wake me up. I listened carefully to their voices.

After the sound went away, I got up from the bed, and now I really couldn't sleep...
