Knock knock knock!

"Are you there?"

It was a young man's voice coming from outside.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, then got up to open the door.

A handsome young man with a buzz cut flashed a bright white smile and introduced himself in a friendly manner, "Hello, I'm 183."

Lin Xi: ?

The middle-aged man next to him paused for a moment, "He probably meant to say that he is the owner of unit 1803."

The crew-cut guy, carrying two large bags, chuckled, "Yes, I'm a resident of 1803, and I'm 183cm tall, which is quite a coincidence!"

The middle-aged man turned his back and rolled his eyes: Who asked you?

"My name is Zhao Yunlong. You're not an adult yet, right? You can call me Brother Long."

2001 looked at Lin Xi with a kind expression, "Little girl, I'm from 2001 next door, my name is Pang Jiang."

Zhao Yunlong immediately chimed in, "Girl, just call him Uncle Jiang like I do."

Lin Xi was somewhat surprised; these two actually knew each other?

As if he understood his expression, Uncle Jiang quickly explained, "No, we met in the group chat. He came over this afternoon and chatted with me for a while."

Lin Xi nodded and stepped aside to let them in.

She couldn't help but feel glad that she hadn't had time to remove her makeup today. As long as she wore sunglasses, they probably wouldn't notice anything unusual unless they were staring at her closely.

Brother Long took a long stride and walked to the dining table in a few steps, placing the bag on it.

One of the bags contained some meat she had previously delivered, as well as some miscellaneous seasonings he had brought himself.

The other bag contained fresh vegetables that had just been picked from Uncle Jiang's house: two baby bok choy and a bunch of cilantro.

Lin Xi silently looked away; actually, she was a cilantro fan herself.

It's a pity; this is what it means to be so close yet so far away.

"Hey, Uncle Jiang, could you send a message to tell them to come up?" Brother Long suddenly turned around. "I'll go prepare these vegetables a bit, and once everyone's here, we'll set up the pot and start cooking!"

Uncle Jiang immediately picked up his phone, squinted, and started sending messages.

"Everyone, assemble! Come quickly to 2005."

However, none of them expected that the two girls from the eighth floor would be the first to arrive.

Yan Xiangxiang brought a bag of hot pot meatballs, and Brother Long's eyes lit up the moment he took it.

Wow! They even have beef balls! Thank you!

Yan Xiangxiang blushed and quickly waved her hand, "No need to be polite, we agreed to bring the ingredients together."

Jiang Ling placed a bottle of red wine on the table. "I also have to thank X for helping us clear out the zombies in the building, so I had a chance to go home and get this bottle of wine."

Lin Xi was drawn to her. This woman had a head of elegant curly hair, bright red lips, exquisite makeup, and a mole on the tip of her nose that made her even more charming.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly walked over and touched the top of her head.

Lin Xi was taken aback.

What's the little girl's name?

Lin Xi typed her name and held up her phone.

She frowned. "Lin Xi? You can't speak?"

With some concern and worry.

Lin Xi sensed her kindness and nodded.

Then I typed another message: I can type when you want to communicate with me. When the power goes out, I'll carry a pen with me.

"Okay, Xiaoxi." Jiang Ling smiled.

Lin Xi picked up her phone somewhat awkwardly and scrolled through it randomly.

Jiang Ling could also tell that she was a bit shy. "Alright, I'll go help. See you later."

1704 arrived late.

He was thin and had a cute appearance. He wore black-rimmed glasses and a green plaid short-sleeved shirt.

"He Chao! You've been playing games again, haven't you?"

Brother Long stood at the kitchen doorway with a cleaver in hand, hands on his hips, and started scolding people, "There's hardly anyone here now, I've stopped playing, and you're still playing single-player games!"

He Chao chuckled and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. "Just bored."

He turned his head and saw Lin Xi sitting there. "Wow! She really is a little girl. Is she in high school?"

Lin Xi was speechless.

I'm just a little bit shorter, aren't I?

Was it really necessary to make him ask such a question?

"The little girl can't speak. Her name is Lin Xi." Jiang Ling peeked out from the doorway when she heard the voice.

"Lin Xi? I'm nineteen, so I should be older than you. You can call me Brother Chao!"

When He Chao smiles, he has a small dimple on his right side, which matches his temperament quite well.

Lin Xi lowered her head and saw how familiar they seemed. They must have met privately after she took the zombie away.

Uncle Jiang sat by the window, holding a copy of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Ignoring everything else, I focused solely on studying the classics.

However, he suddenly looked up and asked, "The young man on the 11th floor hasn't arrived yet?"

He Chao shrugged indifferently and sighed, "Who knows if he will come? He didn't come when we said we should get together privately this afternoon, and he didn't say a word in the group chat either. Maybe he's not planning to come."

Lin Xi knew who they were talking about.

She was the homeowner in the group who questioned whether she was human.

But to be honest, he wasn't wrong.

Lin Xi is indeed no longer human. The only difference between her and other zombies is that she still retains her consciousness and lives like a human.

So Lin Xi could understand why people questioned her and were afraid of her; it's only human nature.

He Chao started tinkering with the portable gas stove. After installing the gas canister, he turned it on to check it.

With a whoosh, blue flames burst forth. "It works."

Xiangxiang placed the cleaned hot pot on the table.
