Chapter 6 Who is your grandpa?

"I'm going to find Shu Yao and my son."

Chen Zhou was nailing the board when he threw the hammer heavily.

"There are monsters outside. You can't go out and die." Chen's mother hugged Chen Zhou's waist and cried.

This time, Chen's father's attitude is also here.

During the stalemate, Chen Xun made the final decision and said, "Let's go find my sister-in-law and the others together."

Zhao Nanyu poked his little head out from behind Chen Xun and nodded in agreement.

According to her, if we were to leave, we would all leave together. Why not? There were so many residents in this neighborhood. If one infected two, two infected three, it wouldn't last long before there were five zombies.

Besides, Zhao Nanyu actually looked down on Chen Zhou's behavior. A man who only knew how to worry and hesitate, he made eight hundred phone calls, but if he had this much time, he should have gone to find his wife and son a long time ago.

It’s because her family’s Xunxun is proactive, courageous, responsible, and able to handle things.

Thinking of how he looked so unkempt when he rushed here yesterday, Zhao Nanyu felt a burning sensation in his heart.

The five people had clear division of labor. Chen Xun moved the debris piled up at the door, Chen Zhou and Chen's father sorted out the clothes and tools they were going to take, and Chen's mother prepared dry food in the kitchen.

According to Chen Xun's investigation, zombies at night react slower than zombies during the day. As long as they don't make any noise, it is not difficult for them to outrun the zombies.

Night finally fell as Chen's mother muttered about how the food would go bad if she didn't eat it and how the skirt she had just bought had not been worn.

After opening the door, Chen Zhou walked in front holding a knife, while Chen's father and mother walked in the middle, supporting each other with rolling pins. Chen Xun was a step slower to protect Zhao Nanyu and walked at the back.

When Zhao Nanyu saw the three people turn into the next flight of stairs, he immediately turned around and rushed into the room to sweep through it, without even looking, and put everything into the space.

Chen Xun stood guard at the door, watching his house become like a newly renovated house, with not even a table leg left.

Silently gave a thumbs up.

Following the team, they saw a zombie lost and spinning in circles in the stairwell on the fifth floor. Chen Zhou stood at the front and dared not breathe. Mother Chen screamed instinctively, but fortunately Father Chen covered her mouth.

The three of them squatted on the sixth floor, holding their breath, hesitantly and not daring to move forward. Chen Xun ran down with a hammer and hit it on the head, cracking it.

Facing the three shocked gazes in front of him, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Once is new, twice is familiar.

Zhao Nanyu, who was hiding at the back, playfully gave him a thumbs up.

The apocalypse had only just begun a few days ago, and there were not many zombies in the community. I didn't encounter any more zombies until I ran to the garage.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen's mother's back was soaked.

The Chen family also has a compact SUV, which is just right for five people, but the three seats in the back are a bit crowded.

Chen Xun and Chen Zhou took turns driving, while Chen's father, mother and Zhao Nanyu sat in the back seat and kept an eye on the situation outside.

As soon as I started the car and drove out of the garage, some idiot upstairs in the community shouted at the top of his voice: "Help, take me away, I have plenty of money."

The volume was too loud, and the surviving residents hid behind the curtains and looked down. Most of the residents on the ground floor had become zombies, and they were slowly approaching in groups.

Chen Xun stepped on the accelerator and crashed through the community railing.

Passing by the security booth, Chen's father and the former security guard Lao Xing, who is now a zombie monster, looked at each other affectionately by the car window. His scalp tightened and he squeezed closer to Chen's mother.

"Old Chen, stop pushing. I can't even lift my arms."

Chen's mother was complaining. Chen Xun looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror. Zhao Nanyu was half tilted to the side, with his face almost touching the glass.

He thought he had to change his car.

I stepped on the accelerator again. The car navigation showed that we were still more than 300 kilometers away from Ancheng and the estimated arrival time was unknown.

Instead of taking the highway, take the country road.

After driving for two or three hours, the Chen Xun brothers got out of the car to deal with several zombies walking along the road. When they were a hundred meters into Liujia Village, the battery ran out.

Chen Zhou was left to guard Zhao Nanyu and the other two by the car, while Chen Xun walked towards the village alone with a hammer.

The wolfhound tied at the entrance of the village kept barking when it saw outsiders. It was probably three or four in the morning and the villagers were sleeping soundly.

Chen Xun knocked on the first door, hid behind the door and raised the hammer.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking in the middle of the night? Why are you so annoying?"

A faint voice was heard, and Chen Xun put the hammer behind him.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man. He walked with a brisk pace and it was obvious that he was a hardworking person.

Chen Xun put on a smile and said, "Grandpa, our car is out of battery. Do you have any charging stations here?"

The old man hadn't slept well, and replied with a sullen face, "Who is your grandfather?"

"Charging what? Charging what? We don't have that thing you're talking about here. I've never heard of it. Go ask somewhere else."

As he spoke, he impatiently pushed Chen Xun out.

The girl's right hand was stuck in the crack of the door. Chen Xun grabbed her hand with an unhappy look on his face. "Be careful, you almost got your hand pinched."

The old man was a little scared when he was interrupted by the girl who suddenly appeared. He was worried that the girl would try to scam him if her hand was pinched.

The youngest son still hasn’t found a house to live in to get married, and the family has no money.

"Uncle, could you help me ask other families if they have any? We finally got a leave, but we couldn't get any tickets for the New Year holiday. Our car ran out of battery halfway through the journey, and our grandparents at home are eagerly waiting for us to go back." Zhao Nanyu acted pitiful to gain sympathy.

The old man's wife also got up and prepared to go to the chicken coop to feed the chickens with some vegetable leaves.

The little girl didn’t want to cry or not. It was a rare New Year, and every family didn’t want to be reunited.

"It's New Year's Day, you can't cry. Come in and sit for a while, and we'll go ask other families when it's daybreak."

The mother-in-law opened the door and invited them in.

Giving Chen Xun a reassuring look, Zhao Nanyu sat in the yard waiting for dawn. Chen Xun ran back and used the remaining electricity to drive the car to the old man's door.

"Come, little girl, have some water." The mother-in-law also moved a stool and sat aside.

Zhao Nanyu took it with a smile, but put it aside without drinking it.

The old woman was a hard-hearted person and didn't pay attention to these things. She asked Zhao Nanyu curiously, "Little girl, was that man your brother?"

"How many people are there in your family?"

"What do your parents do?"

"How old are you?"

"My mother-in-law has a young son who has a stable job, is tall and handsome, and is a perfect match for you."

As they were talking excitedly, Zhao Nanyu ran over to Chen's mother, who had just gotten off the bus and stood still, and sweetly took her arm and called affectionately, "Mom."

He called Chen's father "Dad" and Chen Zhou "Big Brother".

"husband."

Chen Xun felt numb all over.

Chen's mother snorted coldly and pulled her hand away, opening her mouth to call her shameless. Chen Xun coughed and winked at Chen's mother.

Ten minutes ago, Shu Yao called and cried, saying that her parents' home had no rice or vegetables, and her son had run out of milk powder.

Chen Zhou was so anxious that he didn't care about these trivial matters. He chased the old man and asked about charging.

After some inquiries, I found out that the village chief had an electricity box, which was the village's backup electricity.

Chen Xun had bought a special conversion head before. Fortunately, Zhao Nanyu put all the things in the house into the space, otherwise the electrical box alone would be useless because the plug would not match.

After secretly taking it out to charge, Zhao Nanyu told the village chief and the old couple about the danger in the city and reminded them to find a slightly safer place to hide first.

They watched the video of zombies biting people and said it was a movie.

I've talked a lot, but I just don't want to leave here.

Zhao Nanyu asked Chen Xun to help reinforce the doors and windows of the old man's house and move the vegetables from the cellar into the house.

Before leaving, my mother-in-law gave me a bag of homemade roasted melon seeds.

Wave goodbye, I don’t know if we will see each other again.
