Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 11 Lily
Qiqi tiptoed back to the bedroom, bent down to the bed, picked up her slippers, held them in both hands, then turned around and tiptoed out.

Xiaowu got up and followed him, put down his shoes outside the door, then walked back carefully and took out Xiaofeng's birdcage.

Finally, carefully close the bedroom door.

Let mom sleep more and don't wake her up.

"what!"

"shush"

Qiqi was very disappointed with the parrot, "I told you to bark and you barked? You have no manners at all."

Being scolded so early in the morning, Xiao Feng snorted unhappily and shook her head to give him a slap on the back of the head.

Qiqi reminded it again, "From now on, don't bark anymore, do you hear me?"

Xiaofeng snorted and ignored him.

Because it was still dark outside and the curtains were all drawn, the living room was pitch dark at this time.

A child, a dog and a bird entered the living room in the dark. Qiqi turned on the small wall lamp, then put the bird cage on the balcony and opened the cage door.

Then he turned around, got a carton of pure milk from the cupboard in the restaurant, opened it with a straw and drank a few sips to relieve his hungry stomach.

Then I took out five eggs from the refrigerator in the kitchen, filled half a pot with water from the water purifier faucet, and put it on the gas stove.

Wash the eggs and put them in, cover with a lid and cook.

The movements were skillful and smooth, without any unfamiliarity at all.

After doing all this, he returned to the living room, took a glass of pure milk and walked to the window next to the cabinet while drinking it, opened the curtains a little and looked out.

But just one glance shocked Qiqi.

When did so many zombies appear outside?

One, two, thirty-one.

The window here faces the residential area. He checked before going to bed last night and there was not a single zombie downstairs.

Now, one night has passed, and eleven of them suddenly appear. Where did they come from?
Fortunately, they had seen zombies all day yesterday, and there were more zombies on the streets outside than in the community, so Jiang Qi was not panicked or afraid. Instead, he slurped his milk while carefully examining the faces of the zombies one by one.

He could basically tell that those who were close to the streetlights were residents of their community. Those who were a little further away and couldn't be seen clearly were most likely residents of their community.

He understood that these people, like the grandma in room 302 on the third floor, were infected with the zombie virus.

As for why he didn't stay at home after being infected but ran outside, he couldn't understand.

Forget it, never mind, let’s go eat the eggs first.

After the water boiled, he looked at the time and cooked it for five minutes, then counted and simmered it for thirty seconds. Then he carefully removed the lid of the pot, scooped out three eggs with a spoon and placed them in a bowl of cold water prepared on the side.

Put the lid back on and continue to simmer the two left for mom.

He ate two himself and peeled one and put it in Xiaowu's rice bowl.

No Xiaofeng?
How can a bird eat eggs? It would have walked out of the cage long ago and ran to the food box to eat its own bird food like a free-range chicken.

After eating, Qiqi patted his stomach in satisfaction, then left the table and ran to the balcony to check the situation on the road outside.

Bai Li slept until half past eight. When she opened her eyes and saw the time, she was stunned.

I really didn't expect that I could still sleep until this time.

Because I got enough sleep, my mind is clear and I feel in good spirits.

"Chichi?"

"Mom, I'm here."

Bai Li walked into the living room, and Qiqi ran towards her from the balcony.

"Shh, don't run, walk slowly."

Thinking of the situation in Room 401, she quickly stopped her son and pointed downstairs, saying to him, "That Uncle Wei and his wife, one or both of them may be infected with the virus."

Qiqi opened his mouth and eyes wide, and blurted out, "It has turned into a zombie. Does that mean Uncle Wei will never come to ask us for Xiaowu in the future?" Last October, the mother and son took Xiaowu home, bought medicine and cooked porridge for it. It took a week to cure its diarrhea, and another two weeks to take care of it to fully recover. However, when they were taking Xiaowu downstairs for a walk, they met the couple, and they actually asked for it.

Bai Li refused directly with a very firm attitude.

The man surnamed Wei was not convinced and threatened to call the police, accusing the mother and son of stealing the dog and refusing to return it.

Bai Li didn't do anything yet, but Bao Xiaolin, who was walking with them, couldn't help but want to take action.

Later, the property management was shocked. Fortunately, the security guard saw it when the mother and daughter took Xiaowu home.

Everyone condemned him. Wei's wife felt ashamed and she didn't want to keep a dog anymore. After apologizing to Bai Li, she took her husband away.

Although this incident happened half a year ago, every time Qiqi meets the couple downstairs, she is worried that the one named Wei will use force and take Xiaowu away.

"Yes, he can't possibly come to us for Xiaowu."

It's not that I'm gloating, but it's the truth.

She's just a neighbor with whom she has an unfavorable relationship. Whether she turns into a zombie or not has nothing to do with her.

When Xiaowu heard his name being called, although he didn't know what it was, he laughed and wagged his tail and rubbed it against Baili's leg.

Seeing that it looked so energetic, Bai Li didn't take its temperature.

Qiqi too, looks like her fever is gone.

"Mom, I boiled some eggs. I'll get them for you."

"Thank you Baby."

Bai Li turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she turned on the faucet, she found that the water was even more turbid.

It was yellow, like when the water was suddenly turned on after a water outage.

She didn't dare to use this water to wash her face or brush her teeth, so she could only pour half a cup of the water she had collected yesterday and simply brush her teeth without washing her face.

It was only the second day after the zombie virus outbreak in Su City, and the water was already unusable.

There was still no internet, so she simply put her phone aside and ignored it.

So what will happen tomorrow?
Power outage or gas outage?

"Mom, there are a lot of zombies downstairs in our building. I saw that they are all people from our community, including Grandpa Zhang Chunsheng. Grandpa Zhang Chunsheng has turned into a zombie, and I don't know what happened to him."

Zhang Chunsheng is Qiqi's classmate and lives in Building 3. They often play games and football together in the community square, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Chunsheng.

Bai Li ate eggs while listening to her son's chattering report.

"There are only a few left on the road outside, and there is none at the entrance to the community. I don't know where they went overnight. It would be great if Aunt Xiaolin and Yueyue came back now. There are still more than a dozen downstairs. It's troublesome."

Really troublesome.

The threat at the gate has been resolved, but after entering, we still have to face so many zombies, which is a problem.

However, with the experiment of luring the zombies away last night, Bai Li felt that this problem was not unsolvable.

"Qiqi, continue to guard the balcony. If you see Aunt Xiaolin coming back, call mom immediately."

"Ok."

After the little guy finished speaking, he solemnly went to carry out his task.

Bai Li was about to pour the egg shells in the bowl into the kitchen when she suddenly saw the three lilies that she had taken out of the vase last night still lying on the dining table.

She bought this and put it in a vase half a month ago. It was a little wilted yesterday, and now it has been out of water for eight or nine hours, making it look even more shriveled.

I originally wanted to throw it into the trash can, but then I changed my mind and took it out again, holding the lilies in my hand and looking at them again and again.

Alas, it will probably be difficult to buy flowers in the future. Since they are not completely dead, I'd better keep them.

Finally, I put it in the big-bellied ceramic vase on the coffee table in the living room, squeezing it together with the baby's breath inside.

Then Bai Li turned to go to the kitchen, but what she didn't see was that the moment she turned around, the three wilted white lilies suddenly became bright and fresh again.
