Save someone

Anne thought for a moment and said, "It seems like three weeks." Or maybe it was longer, Anne couldn't remember exactly. She stayed at home every day, her mind was extremely tense, and she had no time to count the time.

"How old are you?" Although Annie looked at her curly hair, Li Ping'an always felt that she was not too old.

"Me? I'm sixteen." Annie didn't know why she asked this question, but she answered it seriously. Then she reached into her neck and took out a student ID card and held it in front of Li Ping'an.

"So small," then she must have really suffered in these three weeks.

"I really want to eat instant noodles." Annie took a bite of the noodles in her hand, chewing it with a crunch, and said with nostalgia.

Li Ping'an found a bag at the cashier's counter and was pouring out the contents. She didn't know that this was the end of the world before, but now that she knew, she had to make some preparations. It would be unfair if she starved to death.

While packing things, Li Ping'an realized more clearly that this world was different from her original world. After all, she had never heard of many snack brands.

Seeing Li Ping'an's actions, Annie quickly took off the bag on her back after finishing her meal and stuffed food into it. Li Ping'an saw that she was stuffing some puffed food into it. After thinking for a while, he reached out and took out a few bags and handed her a few bags of biscuits and bread. "Those things take up too much space. If you squeeze the bread in, it will take up less space and you can fit a few more bags in."

Annie listened, but her eyes still glanced at the puffed food beside her from time to time. Li Pingan found it a bit funny, so he took a plastic bag, put a bag of puffed food in it, and stuffed it into Annie's hand.

Annie was a little confused. Wasn't she allowed to take it just now?

"Hold it in your hand. When the zombies come, use this to hit them." Li Ping'an said with a smile. After Annie took it, she lowered her head and her face slowly turned red.

Li Ping'an didn't notice that after filling his bag, he walked around, trying to find a handy weapon, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable one. It seemed that he could only take down the mop at the door.

"Are you seated?"

After hearing Annie's answer, Li Pingan stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Annie was just wondering why the zombies had disappeared. It turned out they had all gathered here. Looking at a group of zombies in the distance roaring at the building above, while Li Pingan was still stepping on the accelerator and rushing forward, Annie shouted, "Stop! There are zombies!"

Li Ping'an was startled by the sudden shout, and then he reacted and tightened the brakes, and the two of them almost flew out.

"Where are the zombies?" Li Ping'an couldn't see the zombies and could only rely on Annie to point them.

"Over there, under the red house."

It was a two-story cake shop, and the glass on the second floor was covered by curtains. They were a bit far away and couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone inside.

"There's someone inside," Annie said confidently. Afraid that Li Ping'an wouldn't believe her, she explained, "I've been peeking down like this before. Look at the lower right corner."

Li Ping'an looked over again, and sure enough, the curtains in the lower right corner were lifted a little, revealing a bit of white. He didn't know if it was clothes or the wall.

Looking at the zombies banging against the door on the first floor, neither of them said anything. After all, they were not saviors. Li Pingan felt that it was not easy for her to protect Annie.

"Let's go." Li Ping'an said softly, "There should be another way."

Annie lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. When she heard Li Ping'an's question, she nodded and pointed in a direction, feeling depressed.

Li Pingan pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I don't want to save the people inside, but..."

Before Li Pingan could finish his words, Annie interrupted him, "No, I don't want you to save people."

"I just, I just..." Annie didn't know how to describe her current feelings, so she hugged Li Pingan, "Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be dead."

Li Pingan touched her head and asked, "Are zombies smart?"

"Ah?" Annie didn't react for a moment.

Li Pingan rode his motorcycle with Annie and rushed towards the zombie group. When they were fifty meters away, he turned the motorcycle around and said, "Knock it quickly."

Upon hearing this, Annie quickly knocked the basin in her hand. After hearing the sound, the zombies not far away turned around and rushed towards the two of them.

The zombies were not walking very fast at the moment, so Li Ping'an did not increase his speed to the maximum. He kept a distance of about 100 meters from the zombies. Seeing that the distance was almost right, Li Ping'an said, "Hold on tight." Then he accelerated and left the group of zombies behind.

Upstairs in the cake shop was a family of three. The young father was covering the child's eyes and mouth to prevent her from making any sound. The young mother was holding a long knife, her eyes full of determination. "Wait a minute, I'll rush down to lure the zombies away, you take Mimi and run."

Yang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Wife, I can't do it." He knew his own fighting ability. If it weren't for his wife, he would have died countless times.

"I'll go, wife. Only if you take Mimi with you can she have a chance of survival."

As the two were discussing quietly, they heard a noise in the distance. The crashing noise downstairs had become much quieter. Yang Lin and Zhang Xue quickly leaned over to the window and carefully looked out. They saw that the zombies downstairs had all run away on a motorcycle. Zhang Xue's eyes lit up and she nudged Yang Lin with her elbow, "Hurry, let's get going now."

"What about those two people?"

"They just want to help us lure the zombies away. Stop dawdling, grab your things and leave quickly." Zhang Xue felt helpless. Her husband was too soft-hearted and had a soft temper. He wasn't very good at fighting, but fortunately he was obedient.

Hearing Zhang Xue's words, Yang Lin hurriedly picked up Mimi and put on the things he had packed earlier, and followed Zhang Xue out. There were still two or three zombies at the door. Zhang Xue asked Yang Lin to stay away, and then picked up the knife and chopped them.

Yang Lin quickly covered Mimi's eyes in his arms, fearing that she would be frightened.

After getting in the car, Yang Lin handed Mimi in his arms to Zhang Xue. Zhang Xue's heart melted when she saw her daughter, who was as round as a glutinous rice dumpling. "Mimi, don't be afraid." She took off her mask and kissed her forehead.

"Mom, I'm not afraid." The three-year-old child spoke in a caring and babyish voice, "Mom, are you afraid?"

"Mom isn't afraid either." Zhang Xue is now extremely glad that she learns some Sanda in her daily life. Also, because she likes long swords, she bought one. Although it has not been consecrated, she can sharpen it herself and it can be used.

"Let's go to Beiji City. Don't take the highway, go under it." A few days ago, they learned through the radio that a shelter had been built in Beiji City. Although they didn't know whether it was safe or not, it was better than the three of them struggling to survive outside.

"How is it? Did you get rid of it?" Li Ping'an asked loudly. The scenery on the roadside flashed by, and the motorcycle carrying two people sped past the desolate streets, flexibly bypassing the ruins on the ground.

Annie carefully turned her head back to take a look, then leaned over to Li Ping'an's ear and shouted, "We've shaken them off. Only three or four are still following us."

Hearing that the zombies had been gotten rid of, Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, turned right, and continued towards Beiji City.

At around four or five in the afternoon, the two stopped rushing and slowed down to see if there was a suitable place to stay nearby. By then, they had reached the outskirts of the city, where the area was vast and sparsely populated.

"Ping'an, what do you think of that place?" Annie pulled at the hem of Li Ping'an's clothes.

Li Ping'an looked in the direction Annie pointed and saw a primary school.

Annie chuckled and said, "The zombie outbreak happened on a Sunday, so all the teachers and students must have gone home."

Yes, middle and high schools may not be empty on Sundays, but elementary schools are definitely empty on Sundays.

After parking the motorcycle at the gate, the two men got off and looked inside through the iron gate. As expected, the campus was empty and extremely quiet.

Li Ping'an climbed up first, then bent down to pick up Annie, carefully placed her in the school, and then jumped in himself.

Although there are no teachers or students in the school on Sundays, there will definitely be security guards on duty in the security room.

The security room is divided into two rooms. The monitoring room is at the entrance. Due to the power outage, the computer is completely dark. There is a small door next to the monitoring room. There is a bed and some clothes inside the door. It looks like their lounge.

As soon as they entered the security room, two zombies rushed towards them. After Li Ping'an knocked the two zombies in the house to death under Annie's command, he turned around and saw the explosion-proof forks and shields standing in the corner of the wall. There were exactly two sets, one for each person. He didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain.

After leaving the security room and continuing to walk inside, they turned a corner and Annie suddenly stopped moving. Li Pingan was a little puzzled, but looking at her expression, he suddenly realized that there must be zombies ahead. He immediately became alert and raised his shield in front of the two of them.

Annie bit her lower lip, suppressed her fear, pulled Li Pingan back, and tried her best not to make any sound.

But the distance was too close. Some small zombies had already raised their heads and sniffed, then let out a roar. Suddenly, the whole scene became lively. A group of small zombies wearing blue and white school uniforms, but as tall as a chest, rushed towards the two of them.

Seeing that they were discovered, Annie didn't bother to hide her footsteps. She pulled Li Pingan and started running towards the school gate.

After Li Pingan realized what was happening, she quickened her pace and was about to take Annie out through the door, but Annie dragged her towards the security room and said, "It's too late, go in and hide."

After the two entered the security room, Li Pingan quickly turned around and locked the first door. Then he took Annie to hide in the lounge nearby and locked the second door.

Then, the two of them held their breath and listened to the sound of people banging on the door outside. Annie's mouth trembled, tears in her eyes, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot that I had to make up for the class that Sunday." Annie also suddenly remembered that she had to make up for the class that Sunday when she saw a group of little radish-headed zombies.

Li Ping'an quickly hugged Annie in his arms, "It's okay, it's okay." But his brows were slightly frowned. If the door was broken, she would be fine, but what about Annie?

The noise outside the house gradually became quieter. Li Ping'an stretched his head to look, but still couldn't see any zombies.

After Annie calmed down, she quietly peeked at the door frame and breathed a sigh of relief. "These zombies are all children, weak. After smashing for a long time without being able to break it open, some of them just left."

It seems that if we wait a little longer, all the zombies outside the door will disperse.

Since they couldn't leave for the time being, they simply sat on the bed, drank some water and ate something to replenish their energy.

"Ping'an, how long will it take us to get to Beiji City?" Annie suddenly asked.

Li Pingan thought about it. Although the world here was different from her own world in some minor aspects, the rest was roughly the same. If there were no zombies, it would take about three days to get there by motorcycle. But now, because of the zombies, most of the day had passed and the two of them hadn't even left Nanlin City. She was not sure now, "I don't know either."

"But don't worry, I will definitely send you to your mother."

The noise outside the door completely died down. "The zombies have dispersed. Can we leave now?" Annie stood up and took a look.

At this time, although it was not dark yet, it was close to sunset, and it was not certain that we could find a suitable place to stay if we went out now.
