Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 33 Cremation
"dad"

Gao Junyu stood behind his father and gently pulled his sleeve.

Gao Zhiyuan came back to his senses, wiped his face and said to his son, "Wait at the door for a moment. I'll go to grandpa and grandma's bedroom to get the sheets."

The blood at the door had already solidified, and it made a slight crackling sound when stepped on, which made Gao Zhiyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

He also wanted to go around it and avoid stepping on the blood, but the floor of the entrance hall was covered with blood and he couldn't get in without stepping on it.

I don’t know how painful it must have been when I lost so much blood.

He held his breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and went to the two old people's bedroom to get two quilt covers.

He first collected the body of Grandpa 302, who was found at the entrance of the house with his arms torn off and most of his neck bitten off, and then he and his son put the body of Grandma at the door in.

Then the father and son, one carrying the other holding one, ran twice to deliver the two bodies, which were no longer complete, downstairs.

The blanket used to wrap the body was made of winter fleece, very thick.
Even though it would be burned to ashes later, Gao Zhiyuan felt that this would still keep the two old people warm.

He went back upstairs for the third time and took an axe and two solid wooden chairs from his own house.

While chopping the chairs, Bai Li brought Qiqi, Bao Xiaolin brought Yueyue, and the two adults and two children each took a stack of white paper downstairs.

It's not the regular paper, but it's usable.

Although the two families had no relationship with 302, they had been neighbors for several years after all. When they met and said hello, the grandmother was usually more proactive.

From her facial features and smile, we can tell that she is a kind and good-tempered old lady.

After a while, He Meng also came down. She looked at Gao Zhiyuan's actions and knew that he wanted to cremate the two old people.

Turning her head to look at her husband's grave not far away, she asked Bai Li in a low voice with some entanglement, "Sister, do you think I should burn my husband as well? That way I can take his ashes with me when I die."

Bai Li turned her head to look at her, curled the corners of her mouth, and thought to herself, whether to burn it or not is up to you to decide, how can you ask others about such a thing?
She didn't say anything, but the look she gave her was obvious.

He Meng said hesitantly, "If we don't burn it, it will rot in the soil when the weather gets hotter."

When it rots, it will definitely be occupied and bitten by maggots and various insects. When He Meng thought of this scene, he couldn't help but get goose bumps on his arms.

She made up her mind, "Sister, I want to dig out my husband and burn him."

After saying that, He Meng turned around and went upstairs to get a wooden chair. While Brother Gao had an axe, he chopped it down as well.

Here, several of them were chopping chairs and wood downstairs, preparing to cremate the body. Outside the gate, which was not too far away, a group of zombies lay there, roaring and howling.

But they acted as if they didn't see it and were not affected at all.

"These people are so perverted!"

The survivors on the second floor opposite had already been frightened by the hordes of zombies outside the gate, so they had closed their windows and drawn the curtains tightly, for fear of being seen by the zombies.

Although they were aware that they were blocked from entering by the iron gate.

But looking at that huge group of people guarding the gate and their ferociously open mouths still makes my scalp tingle.

Not to mention going downstairs, I didn’t even dare to go out the door.

But they not only went downstairs, but also made crackling noises to attract the zombies' attention.

Some people were so angry that their teeth itched, "Are these people crazy? What if the zombies they attract break open the iron gate and rush in? Wouldn't we be in trouble?"

Many people hid behind the curtains and scolded them, saying that their movements had caused the zombies to riot, that they had poured gasoline on the corpses, and that they had openly cremated the bodies in the community, which was a bad behavior.
But no matter how much they cursed, no one dared to open the window and show their head to curse as a warning. Of course, there were also some people who watched their behavior in silence and prayed for the dead in their hearts, hoping that they could successfully reach heaven, where there is no virus and the end of the world.
What others think is not important to Gao Zhiyuan and his friends. In the drizzle that is gradually stopping, they cremated the bodies of the grandparents of Room 302 and He Meng's husband of Room 401, and collected the ashes into bags.

302 Gao Zhiyuan placed the ashes of his grandparents on the coffee table in their living room and wrote a letter next to it.

I don’t know whether the three of them will come back. If they do, it would be good to properly place the ashes of the two old people in the future.

If you can't come back.
That's all.

"dad"

Gao Junyu looked at his father and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Dad knows what you want to say, but we can't leave right now. We can only find a chance to bring Mom back later."

It’s hard to say what will happen next, but if Gao Junyu has to leave one day, he hopes to take his mother with him.

Of course, what he wanted was to take his mother's ashes with him.

The end of becoming a zombie is nothing more than being beheaded. Rather than being chopped off by others, he hopes that his father can do it.

This way the body will not be thrown away in any corner at random.

"Lizhi, what do you say? How about I borrow your knife and practice chopping zombies at the door?"

Bao Xiaolin did not give up on leaving at this moment. On the contrary, the idea of leaving was more urgent than before.

So many people in the city have turned into zombies, what about the countryside?
If the parents were still normal, how would they cope?
Not only do we have to deal with zombies, but we also have to deal with humans.

Today, the faces of those who came to the children's homes to ask for things while they were not at home clearly exposed the meanness and selfishness of some people.

He doesn’t dare to face the zombies, but he wants to attack the children.

The end of the world has just begun, and the order that has been followed for a hundred years has already collapsed?

If that's the case, she has to go back.

Bao Xiaolin looked towards the gate and took a deep breath. "I can't let them stop me from leaving. No matter what, I have to leave tomorrow."

But with so many zombies around, it was impossible not to be scared. She was even more afraid that after she passed by, the zombies would become agitated and break down the iron gate.

She knew Bai Li was smart, so she discussed with her, "Is there any way to divert some of them?"

Like when they first came back, leaving five, six, seven, eight or even ten of them, harvesting heads through the iron gate doesn't seem difficult at all.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have a knife like Baili.

Bai Li thought for a moment and said to her, "I have another knife at home that is the same as mine, but it's unsharpened. Do you know how to sharpen it? If you can, I'll give it to you."

Although the knife belonged to her husband Jiang Minglang, they couldn't care less at this critical moment. Having a sharp weapon on hand could also increase the survival rate of her friend and her daughter.

"I can drive one." Gao Zhiyuan said, "I learned from my father before. We also have tools like grindstone and sandpaper at home. Go get them and I'll drive one."

Bao Xiaolin was delighted and grateful, "Thank you Lizhi, thank you Brother Gao."

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is such a small thing, but I didn't even thank you for saving my son and me. Once the blades are sharpened, let's discuss countermeasures and see how to deal with the zombies outside."
