Apart from the two who died, the rest were successfully taken away by Squad 532.

Grandma Gao and Gao Siyang went back to Building 10 with Gu Yanzhi. The remaining grandparents and the baby were taken to the police station first. After their identities were verified, they were sent home.

When Chu Guodong reported the deaths of the two people at the scene, he only said that Gu Yanlin was too young and couldn't bear to look at the disgusting scene of the beast, which is why he drew his gun.

The leaders already deeply abhorred such criminal gangs, but due to a series of reasons such as insufficient evidence and manpower, even though they knew full well what they were doing, they were unable to take action for a long time.

Therefore, even knowing that the reasons given by Chu State to the east were largely exaggerated, they still tacitly accepted them. They symbolically punished Gu Yanlin by making him stay home for a week to reflect on his actions, plus a 5000-word self-criticism.

This wasn't even a punishment for Gu Yanlin. His team had been traveling for the past few months, and he hadn't had a proper, peaceful vacation in a long time.

Knowing that the punishment was to have Gu Yanlin reflect at home for a week, the rest of the 532 squad rushed over and pinned Gu Yanlin down, with five people piled on top of him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

In the end, Gu Yanlin promised to bring everyone delicious food as an apology when he returned to the team, and that's when they let him off the hook.

As for a 5,000-word self-criticism, that was nothing. Before the apocalypse, many of the materials they downloaded included self-criticisms. The only reason they downloaded self-criticisms was because they were bored, and they never expected them to come in handy.

You can just copy these 5,000 words at random, and anyway, the leaders can't go online to search whether the content was copied or not.

Back to Building 10, Liu Sisi and Gao Zhi, who were almost going crazy searching for their mother outside, rushed over to their unharmed mother and son after being notified to return home. The family of four embraced tightly.

Tears of lingering fear streamed down the faces of all three adults, even Gao Zhi, the pillar of the family. Only the youngest, Gao Siyang, who didn't know what had happened and only thought he had gone out to play, giggled in his parents' arms.

The three adults were extremely grateful to the neighbors in Building 10 who helped them find the person, and they didn't even need to mention their profuse thanks to the Gu family of three.

Seeing his old friends and children return safely, Grandpa Li finally felt relieved. The children had disappeared right before his eyes, and he had been consumed by deep self-blame. Now that they were finally found, Grandpa Li's guilt had eased somewhat.

After a whole afternoon of searching for the person, everyone was exhausted. Seeing that the person had returned safely, they all went home to rest.

It was already past 9 p.m., and no one had eaten dinner yet. Grandma Lin, who lived next door to the Gao family, had difficulty walking. Hearing that her old friend had lost her way, she was secretly worried at home and couldn't help much, so she did what she could at home.

I made ginger soup and prepared dinner for everyone, so that no one would be left without a hot meal when they went out to find someone.

Right now, she's telling everyone to go home and get bowls and basins to serve themselves rice and dishes. Her family doesn't have many kitchen utensils, so the rice and dishes are all in a large basin, which is kept warm over the fire.

Each family had a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables. There weren't many vegetables available at the time, so Grandma Lin cooked the luncheon meat that the government had given her a while ago, along with the greens that Gu Yanzhi had brought, plus the vermicelli that her family had stockpiled before the apocalypse. She managed to put together enough food for the 18 people in Building 10.

This dish might not have been considered a good dish before the apocalypse, and some people might not have even bothered to look at it. But in this era, it can be considered a deluxe dish. Combined with Grandma Lin's decades of excellent cooking skills, it is truly unforgettable.

Each household was given a large pot of ginger soup. Ever since Gu Yanzhi's ginger-growing experiment was successful, a small section of the planting room on the 17th floor has always been reserved for ginger. Every time there is a harvest, a little is shared with the neighbors. So now, the people in Building 10 are basically never short of ginger soup.

Everyone took the meal to thank Grandma Lin. Knowing that Grandma Lin had used up a lot of her family's food reserves for this meal, they didn't want her to suffer any loss. The next day, they all brought whatever food they had at home to thank Grandma Lin.

The Gao family did the same, and when they finally had some free time, they went door-to-door delivering gifts to thank everyone, and also voluntarily returned the items that the Lin family had consumed. Of course, these are all stories for later.

Back to the present, after getting their food from Grandma Lin's house, everyone went home to eat and rest.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao were sound asleep when they were suddenly awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Song Zhao finished dressing, opened the door, and before the person could even see who was in front of him, asked anxiously...

"Brother Song, Sister Gu, do you have any fever reducers? Xiao Bao has a fever."

The person who came was Gao Siyang's father, Gao Zhi.

The events of the day also frightened Liu Sisi and Gao Zhi, who became anxious as soon as their child was out of sight. They also wanted their elderly mother to get a good night's sleep and rest. That night, Gao Zhi and his wife slept with Gao Siyang.

Although Gao Siyang seemed fine when he first got home, even smiling foolishly, what happened today still frightened him. In the middle of the night, Liu Sisi vaguely heard the child crying in her sleep and was suddenly awakened.

Sure enough, Liu Sisi heard the child still calling for "Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, don't go!" She turned on her flashlight and saw that the child's face was flushed, his forehead was burning hot, his breathing was rapid, and sweat was dripping down his face. His little hands were still waving around, as if he was looking for something.

Logically, the child should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible in this situation. However, the only hospital in City C is far away from here, and it takes nearly an hour and a half to walk there. Adults can endure this time, but children cannot.

Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng, who live on the 15th floor, went back to the hospital for their night shift after dinner and aren't here now. Medicines are scarce, and most households have no stockpiles. Gao Zhi can only pin his hopes on the Gu family, who have the most resources in the building, hoping they might have some fever reducers to save Xiao Bao's life.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Hearing Gao Zhi's anxious voice, Song Zhao quickly found the medicine box at home, took out several kinds of antipyretics, and stuffed them into Gao Zhi's hands.

At this time of year, fever is a difficult thing to deal with for both adults and children. With the arrival of extreme cold, many people have died from pneumonia caused by a lack of medicine for fever.

Song Zhao went back to her room and told the groggy Gu Yanzhi that she was also going to the Gao family to see if there was anything she could help with.

Fortunately, Gao Siyang's fever subsided quickly after taking the medicine, and he stopped talking nonsense. However, Gao Zhi and Liu Sisi were still worried, so they decided to take their child to the hospital again, fully equipped with protective gear, for a thorough check-up.

Considering it was too cold outside, Song Zhao went home again and filled two hot water bottles with hot water, placing them inside the child's blanket to keep the child warm.
