Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 13 Explosion
Bai Li suddenly opened the door and walked out with a knife in hand.

She looked up at the young woman who had walked down the first floor from the fifth floor to the sixth floor and was about to enter the second floor. She was the daughter-in-law of Room 402, the one who had just quarreled with her mother-in-law.

Her daughter is two years older than Qiqi and is in the third grade this year. According to what her grandmother said just now, she went to school yesterday and never came back.

My son is in the middle class of kindergarten. I don’t know if he went to school yesterday, but he is at home now.

Her husband went to work and didn't come back. He might have had an accident or he might be trapped and unable to come back.

In short, there should be four people at home now, including her parents-in-law, her son, and her.

"Qiqi's mom, I'm feeling bored at home, I want to talk to Wenwen's mom."

to chat with?

Bai Li didn't know whether she was really friends with Wenwen's mother, but from her flustered expression, it was not difficult to guess that it was most likely fake.

It seems that from last night till now, the little girl came to see her twice and was heard by the people on the fourth floor.

"I advise you not to go there. Wenwen's mother and her brother are both sick. Last night, she came to me to borrow medicine. She had a very serious fever. Zixuan's mother, did you know that those people who turned into zombies outside were originally caused by colds and fevers?"

Room 402's mother's face changed and she ran downstairs in a hurry without thinking.

When passing by Bai Li, he did not forget to say thank you to her.

When she reached the fourth floor and returned to her home, Bai Li also turned around and went back.

402 downstairs.

As soon as Zixuan's mother entered the room, she complained to her mother-in-law, "How did you listen to her? What do you mean Wenwen is the only one in their family? Her mother and brother are sick, and they went to 501 to find medicine last night. Qiqi's mother said that the fever was very serious, and she suspected that he would become one of those people outside, so she didn't go upstairs when Wenwen came to find her just now."

Her mother-in-law looked unconvinced. "Impossible. When Wenwen rang the doorbell, I put my ear close to the door and listened. She asked the people in 501 to help her cook. If her mother was at home, why would she ask others for food?"

Zixuan's mother rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "I've already told you that her mother has a serious fever and might even be unconscious. So isn't it normal for a child like her to come down and ask for food from others? Do you want me to go into Room 602 and let her mother bite you? You have a really vicious mind!"

"I'm vicious? You don't know what's good for you. There are so many people at home, old and young, and you eat so much right after you come back. I didn't buy any food yesterday. If you don't go out to find food, we will be out of food tomorrow."

"Why should I go look for him? Why don't you go? And there's the old man."

The quarrel downstairs had nothing to do with Bai Li, but she knew that after she said this, as long as Wenwen no longer went out casually, she would be safe for the time being.

She is an only child, and there is enough milk and snacks at home, so she should be able to wait for rescue.

Although she didn't know whether there would be rescue.

But this is all she can do, what else can she do?
Bringing a child you are not familiar with and don’t like very much into your home?

She's not that selfless.

After entering the room, Bai Li stood at the entrance for a while, making sure that no one from Room 402 was trying to go to the sixth floor. Then she went back to the restaurant, ate the remaining cold noodles in a few bites, and then cleaned up the bowl and went to the kitchen.

"what"

Suddenly there was a scream outside the window, and Bai Li's hand holding the bowl shook and she almost dropped it to the ground.

The kitchen was dark, but the window was open and the streetlights outside were on. On the large balcony on the sixth floor of the building opposite her home, a woman was screaming and climbing to the windowsill. Through the light from her living room, she could clearly see a hideous face approaching her.

“No.Ah.”

Bang!
The woman fell from the windowsill and hit the concrete floor, quickly staining a bright red flower below. The sound caused a commotion among the wandering zombies, who stumbled forward with their mouths wide open, biting and devouring the body that had lost its vital signs but was still warm.

"Mother."

Qiqi ran into the kitchen from outside and hugged her waist.

Perhaps this scene was so shocking that Bai Li felt that all the survivors in the building were as quiet as chickens at this moment, not even daring to breathe.

Everyone may have realized something, and the dozen or so households opposite that had lights on quickly turned off all their lights. The entire building immediately became pitch black, as if there was no living person.

Bai Li finished washing the dishes in silence. After returning to the living room, in order to divert her attention, she took out the yoga mat and spread it out, and did sit-ups and push-ups with her son.

She used to go running after sending her son to school every day, but since she had a fever last time, she hasn’t run for half a month.

There are some simple equipment at home, such as the abdominal wheel. In order to restore your strength, it is best to do it now.

Jiang Minglang taught Qiqi military gymnastics, so after doing sit-ups, she followed her son to practice military gymnastics.

After all this ordeal, the mother and son were soon out of breath and sweating.

Fortunately, the water from the water purifier was still usable. Bai Li filled half a basin with water, boiled another pot of water in an electric kettle, and then simply washed up with her son and went to bed.

Before going to bed, Qiqi looked out the windows on both sides as usual. The number of zombies was about the same as before, and he didn't hear any screams or cries for help from the living.

The night was very peaceful, and the mother and son slept through the night.

Today is April 4th, cloudy with drizzling rain, the third day of the zombie virus outbreak.

The internet was still blocked and the tap water became even more turbid. It could no longer be used even after filtering with a water purifier.

The natural gas was cut off and never came back, but fortunately the electricity was still there.

But just as Bai Li was feeling thankful, she suddenly heard two earth-shaking explosions at 3:30 in the afternoon. When the sounds came out, she and Qiqi felt their building shake, although it was very slight and it was gone in an instant.

But she was sure it was shaking.

"Mom, look there!"

Qiqi stood by the balcony window, pulled aside the curtains and pointed to the southeast.

There were flames shooting up into the sky and thick smoke billowing, which was obviously caused by the two violent explosions just now.

"It seems to be the Second Hospital."

Bai Li looked at the fire just two streets away and murmured, "The hospital has the most patients and the most infections, so..." Did the higher-ups blow up the hospital?

Want to burn all the zombies inside to death?

So the police didn't come for so long, is it because they were busy at the hospital?
Rescue the patients and medical staff who are not infected with the virus, then seal off the hospital and blow it up?

A glimmer of hope suddenly rekindled in her heart. Although the price the police paid for blowing up the hospital after dealing with the zombies in it was a bit high, she believed that there must be considerations behind it, which were not something a commoner like her could understand.

So next, will they be able to free up manpower to deal with the surrounding areas?

However, Bai Li soon realized that she was too naive and took things for granted.
