Today, Mom and Dad came home very late, and I went to bed late too. In the morning, I asked them why they were so late. Why didn't they stay home with me? Dad said there was a big furnace in the power plant. The furnace was a little naughty and refused to work magic with Dad. Mom and Dad went to teach it a lesson last night. "Big furnace, you have to be good, Daddy's spanking hurts," they said. To make amends, Mom and Dad took me to see their workplace. So I could visit my parents' workplace often, so I memorized the entire route. I walked out of the house, turned right, and walked to the flower shop. The florist happily gave me a flower. From the flower shop, turn right again and walk to the 13th house. Then, go straight left and walk to a hotel. From the hotel, turn right again and walk straight ahead to a large flat area. The power plant is underground, and the entrance is in the middle of the flat area, in front of the stone statue. I was so happy! I could visit Mom and Dad's workplace anytime. The people there were so friendly, they gave me snacks and candy.
My parents seemed to be in a bad mood today. They kept looking at me as if something was going to happen. My parents didn’t go to work today. There was a lot of noise outside and people were setting off firecrackers from morning to night. I wanted to go out to watch the firecrackers, but my father wouldn’t let me go out and asked me to stay at home.
After a few days, all the food at home was eaten up and it was quiet outside. My father was holding a small thing in his hand. I knew it was used by the police and could be used to beat the bad guys. About a day later, my father came back with a cart full of food. The next day, my father did the same and brought a lot of food. I thought we were going to have a party at home, but my father said it was for our family to eat.
Today, Dad told me that our family would be living in the basement for a few days because some bad guys were causing trouble outside. I was very happy because Dad usually doesn't let me go down there, saying it's dirty. At night, Mom and Dad sleep together, but sometimes Mom cries for no apparent reason. Do adults cry when they're happy? I'd cry too.
These days I feel like someone is walking back and forth in our basement. My parents always cover my mouth to prevent me from making any sound, saying that the person outside is a bad guy and that if I get caught by him, I will never be able to eat candy or snacks again. I quickly close my mouth tightly and say, "Bad guy, get away quickly, I want snacks, I want candy."
In the past few days, we have started a weight loss campaign. We have been eating too much recently. When we started to lose weight, we ate very little every day. I was very hungry and started to suffer from insomnia at night.
Today Dad went out to find food and asked Mom and me to stay here. Dad didn't come back until the evening, but he came back the next morning with a lot of food. However, Dad was covered in blood and didn't eat much. This time I had a premonition that the bad guys outside would not only not give us candy, but would also hurt people. Mom felt sorry for Dad.
Dad told Mom today that there were supplies in the market under the clock tower in the city center, and he wanted to go there today, but Mom refused to let Dad go out because Dad’s injury had not healed yet. So Mom pressed Dad to the bed and went out by herself, but Mom didn’t come back by the evening, and she didn’t come back the next morning either. Dad couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to go out to find Mom. I was very scared, afraid that Mom was caught by the bad guys. Dad told me not to worry, that he knew magic and would bring Mom back. After a while, the ground suddenly shook, as if something collapsed. Should Mom and Dad be okay?
Why haven't Mom and Dad come back yet? I'm so hungry. Those bad guys keep walking around upstairs. I don't dare to cry out loud. Mom and Dad.
Dad, I will never go to the basement again, and I will never eat candy again. Please come back soon.
Mom and Dad, I'm so lucky to live with you...
Before the little girl could finish writing the word "happiness", she might have no strength left and gone to meet her parents.
Lucia shed tears as she looked at the yellow words. I felt very sad and used my hands to wipe away Lucia's tears.
I wrapped the little girl's body in a blanket and gently placed it on the bed. I gradually realized that the two bodies beneath the clock tower where the spacecraft had landed were most likely his parents. What a tragedy! I could only bow my head in silence.
I also realized that the power plant in the diary was underground, so maybe the core was also underground, otherwise why couldn't we see anything when we were standing at such a high place.
Me: "Lucia, let's go! Close the floor and don't let those infected people in."
Lucia looked at the little girl and said, "Yes, Commander." Then she closed the door with a heavy heart.
After coming up, Liv also realized something: "Lucia, if you cry again, you will not be cute." Liv hugged Lucia gently.
At this moment, someone suddenly jumped in from the skylight, looking very panicked.
Li said in a panic: "Commander, one of our squads has been basically wiped out, and another squad is being besieged."
Nice, this name popped up in my mind. Then, I immediately shouted, "Get ready to support the other teams. Lead the way."
We quickly followed Li through several streets and passed through a huge building, and suddenly saw more than 100 infected people besieging the Nice team.
Nice was slashing at the infected with a knife, and several other constructs were fighting hard. Each of them was injured. If we were a step later, something might have gone wrong. At this time, an infected was preparing to attack Nice.
"Nice." I shouted and rushed over, shooting wildly with my pistol.
