Chapter 6 Food Shortage
Upon receiving the news, Ji Zai pulled Liang Qiyue up to the rooftop.
Upon arriving at the top floor...
Then I saw that the huge pot lid was surrounded by a lot of people.
They had no choice but to choose a spot to sit down.
The girl was right.
As soon as I arrived here, I suddenly had internet access.
But Ji Zai was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Because she really didn't know what to say.
She asked Liang Qiyue, who was next to her, "What are you sending?"
Liang Qiyue's fingertips kept typing, "I told my parents to take care of themselves and not to come looking for me. I'm safe now."
She paused for a moment as she spoke, "If I don't say this, they will definitely come looking for me. I am their only child, and they can't let me go."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai smiled wryly, "What a coincidence, I am also my parents' only child."
The air fell silent instantly.
When I looked up again, I saw that the other person's eyes were red.
Ji Zai didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it. The thought of never seeing her parents again, and the expressions on their faces when they heard that she was in critical condition, made her want to cry uncontrollably.
Her parents are almost fifty years old.
How could I possibly withstand this blow?
As she thought about it, she wiped away her tears and cried, "My parents raised me to be independent from a young age, so I've always been quite independent. I know how to deal with bad people and what to do when I'm in danger."
"But I don't know how to tell my parents about my current situation."
"They only have me as their child, how can they bear it!"
The people around us felt the same way.
Their eyes were all red.
no way.
When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause you to choke.
They stumbled upon the apocalypse.
Who can we blame?
I can only blame my bad luck.
After wiping away her tears, Ji Zai looked at the 1,001 missed calls, most of which were from her parents.
She didn't receive it.
So her parents don't even know how they've broken down.
Ji Zai quickly calmed down and typed rapidly to reassure them.
After sending the message, Ji Zai took a deep breath. "I'll go check if there's any food in other dorms. You can download some novels and TV series here, otherwise life won't be easy."
Liang Qiyue glanced at the people around her. "I'll wait until they leave before I download it, so the signal won't be bad."
There was actually no such thing as "grabbing the net".
Because each of them used mobile data to post.
After Ji Zai went downstairs, he unexpectedly bumped into a girl.
She remembered seeing her when she dragged her roommate, who was accused of wrongdoing, upstairs.
At that time, she was on the second floor, eating sunflower seeds and watching a play.
She came upstairs too.
Ji Zai nodded and then stopped paying attention.
I was about to leave when I heard her say, "If possible, stock up on more water. I'm afraid the water supply might be cut off in the future."
Ji Zai hadn't thought of this before, but now that someone had reminded her, she nodded, "Thank you, I understand."
When Ji Zai returned to the dormitory, he turned on the tap and filled all four buckets in the dormitory.
Aquarius is the same.
Then she immediately rushed to the empty room.
The first thing to do, of course, is to go to the first floor to get the key, and then go to the fourth floor to get the two boxes of small bread rolls.
When she got to the first floor, she saw a group of people gathered in room 101.
She walked over and saw them distributing keys.
Ji Zai walked over and asked, "Don't you have enough food either?"
Upon hearing this, the people present fell silent.
The female warrior put her hands in her pockets, then glanced at the crowd. "Who doesn't need food right now? Why did this apocalypse have to come right after final exams? Everyone's going home for finals, who's going to hoard food?"
That's right.
Girls do like to hoard food, but it's final exam time now.
They usually eat bread, which only has a shelf life of two months, so by the end of the semester, their stock is all gone.
But given the current situation, every little bit helps.
Ji Zai frowned. She had also been given three keys, including one for the fourth floor.
The female warrior handed her the key, saying, "Take it and leave quickly. Whether you get more or less is all luck. I don't want to hear you arguing."
Upon hearing this...
The people at the scene fell silent once again.
Someone whispered, "Actually, I've thought it through. If I run out of food and really can't hold on any longer, I don't plan to harm anyone. I don't have that kind of strong heart."
"I'll probably get bitten by a zombie then..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai was taken aback. "Is that what you all think?"
The girls nodded. "What else can we think? We're already in a 'playing dumb' alliance, are we supposed to keep pushing forward? To be honest, I'm a complete loser, the kind whose legs go weak at the sight of zombies..."
"The only thing I can do is not harm people. I dare not deal with zombies or anything like that."
yes.
This is reality.
There have never been that many brave people in this world.
In the current environment, it's already a blessing if we don't harm people; how could there possibly be so many miracles to save the world?
Ji Zai looked at the key in his hand, "But it's certain that there won't be enough food. We can manage in the early stages, but our bodies need to get a certain amount of nutrition every day."
"Insufficient nutrition will cause weakness throughout the body."
This is the most pressing issue at present.
Everyone knows that.
But the situation is too dangerous now.
They haven't even had time to adjust to the apocalypse, so how could they possibly have the mind to think about anything else?
Ji Zai didn't know what to do either.
She took the three keys and opened the door.
Besides the two boxes of bread, Ji Zai also found eight packs of instant noodles, but nothing else.
She took the food back to her dormitory.
When Liang returned in July, he saw the extra grain.
She sat down. "Is this all the food we have?"
Ji Zai nodded, looking at the food and a pile of fruit in front of her. She looked at them for a while, then leaned on the table.
It's tough.
"We can live a little longer."
Liang Qiyue nodded.
The harm of food shortages will be evident in the five days of the end times.
Ji Zai would eat and sleep, sleep and eat. When she woke up that day, she felt dizzy and her vision went black.
She struggled to her feet. "July? What time is it now?"
"Six o'clock in the morning."
It was not yet fully light.
But that's about it.
The sky in the south brightens up quickly, to be honest.
Ji Zai woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. She went to the balcony, where the air was cool with the summer breeze.
It's now the fifth day of the apocalypse.
The dormitory building was eerily quiet.
It was as if there was no one there at all.
The records indicate that this is because everyone has lost their vitality.
She looked at the sky and felt a bit stuffy, then she heard the zombies boiling.
Ji Zai's expression changed, and he hurriedly went downstairs.
Liang Qiyue followed her downstairs. "What's wrong?"
"That's the sound a zombie makes when someone gets close, so there must be someone on the first floor."
But what can you do on the first floor in a situation like this?
suicide.
Ji Zai had it in mind, and so did Liang Qiyue.
Their expressions changed.
Then they quickly rushed down to the first floor.
Sure enough, a girl was seen walking towards the iron gate, her hand trembling as she reached out.
Ji Zai jumped up and pulled her back. "Stop! What are you doing? Are you really going to get bitten by a zombie?!"
The girl was pulled back, bewildered. "I just wanted to kill myself. It's the end of the world, and people are still stopping me."
Liang Qiyue rushed over, "No, why did you do that?!"
"I've finished eating, I can't take any more, there's nothing I can do."
At this point, the people who had come immediately fell silent.
It's food again.
Ji Zai was silent for a while, then said, "We don't have much food left, so I'm going to go out and get some. Do you want to come with me? We're already prepared to die, so let's just go and fight it out together."
"If you win, you live; if you die, you stay there."
