Dormitory No. 608.
"Manman, your mother is so ill, there's no hope for her. You should pack up your things and leave with the main group.
Before she fell asleep, she kept telling me that her only wish was that you could live well.
Listening to her roommate's words, Lin Man felt a surge of pain in her heart and couldn't control her tears.
She was silent as she packed her thick winter clothes and a small amount of food into a snakeskin bag.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Man was conflicted and tormented. The moment she walked out of the dormitory door with her luggage, she couldn't help it and turned around and rushed back.
"Manman, we have to go down and line up, otherwise we might miss it!"
"Sister Wang, you guys go first, I want to take my mom with me!"
Lin Man has always had a very good relationship with her mother. She couldn't bear to watch her loved one, who was still breathing and having a heartbeat, being buried under the rubble.
She found some thin clothes, tore them into strips, then carried her mother off the bed and tied them both tightly together with the strips of cloth.
Lin Man was not tall and was so thin that only a skeleton remained. Her slender arms were like dead branches that would break at the slightest bend.
But even though she was so thin, she ran from the sixth floor to the first floor in one breath, carrying her mother who was heavier than herself.
Lin Man's legs were trembling, but she had a strong force in her heart that supported her firmly and prevented her from falling.
Chen Li gradually woke up while staggering, and she gently patted her daughter's shoulder.
"Manman, put me down and take me with you. You won't be able to go far."
Lin Man tightened her arms and lifted her up, "Mom, there will be an earthquake in an hour. I can't leave you here alone."
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's breathing suddenly stopped and she struggled even harder.
"Manman, where are the supplies? You didn't take anything with you in order to carry me down here?"
"I'm wearing two extra layers of clothes, and I've stuffed my food into my pockets. The rest is useless to me."
Lin Man stared stubbornly ahead, "Mom, you hope that I can live well, and I also hope that you can recover and stay with me for another ten, twenty, or fifty years.
No matter what you say, I won't give up. Either we go together, or we stay together and wait for the earthquake."
A drop of hot tear fell on Lin Man's neck. Chen Li calmed down, even her breathing became lighter, for fear of bringing burden to her daughter.
"Manman, I may not be able to stay with you for much longer. I feel very uncomfortable now, and it feels like there's a fire burning inside me."
Lin Man bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying. If she cried now, she would not be able to see the road.
She suppressed her tears and whispered, "There must be a way."
After that, neither the mother nor the daughter spoke again.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Lin Man was so tired that her legs lost feeling. She moved mechanically relying entirely on her mind, and her speed was much slower than others.
The leading soldier kept urging them: "Hurry up, hurry up! Don't let the people behind you fall behind!"
The mutant beasts on this road had been cleared out by the workers in advance, so there was no need to stop at all, and the large group migrated very smoothly.
It was a very cold day, Lin Man was sweating all over, and her knees were shaking uncontrollably. She might not be able to hold on for much longer.
Looking at the team getting farther and farther away from him, Lin Man felt a strong sense of despair, and her nose felt sore.
Is it true that she still can't do it?
"Mom, I may not be able to take you to catch up with the main force at the base. I'll find a relatively open place nearby and take you to hide."
Chen Li wanted to persuade her again, but she glanced at her daughter's sweat-soaked hair and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Man was ready to fall behind, but when she was about to collapse, her roommate suddenly ran over.
"Manman, come quickly, come quickly! Shuguang Supermarket is giving us a ride, and the base will pay for our fare!!"
With the help of her roommates, Lin Man walked to the front of the team in a daze.
Only then did she see with her own eyes what the real Shuguang Supermarket looked like.
It is very similar to the shopping mall before the apocalypse, but this building can be moved at will.
She couldn't help but think of the moving castle in a certain anime, which was strange yet romantic.
"There are seats at the door. Let's take Auntie there and grab a seat."
Lin Man came to her senses, quickly took a step forward, followed her roommate, and walked into the Shuguang Supermarket.
The dazzling array of goods on the shelves on the first floor dazzled her.
Lin Man untied the cloth strips on her body and let her mother lean back on the chair to rest.
She turned her head and happened to meet the eyes of the little white bear at the door.
Lin Man was so nervous that her heart was beating faster. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard a clear female voice coming from the loudspeaker.
"The supermarket ride-sharing service is full. Residents who haven't taken a ride, please wait for the next one!"
Jiang He originally thought that she just needed to let the al-Qaeda residents evacuate to the school playground and she basically didn't need to intervene.
But the team was moving too slowly. With only forty minutes left before the earthquake, they had only traveled one-fifth of the distance.
Shuguang Hitchhiking has to return to the market.
When the supermarket is open, you can only use the main city roads. Secondary roads and branch roads are not accessible, so you have to take a detour to go to school.
Fortunately, Jiang He's car was fast enough to make up for this weakness.
Seeing the rows of tree trunks outside constantly retreating, Sister Wang shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, the supermarket is moving!"
Lin Man was a little stunned. "It was so fast, and we couldn't even feel it."
"Yeah, there wasn't even a sway. If you didn't look outside, you wouldn't know you were in a car."
Sister Wang turned her head, her eyes brightening surprisingly, "Besides, let me tell you, Shuguang Supermarket sells antipyretics.
According to reliable information, the disease that my aunt has has already spread to other bases. She will be cured in a few days after taking the medicine from the supermarket. It should be the same here soon.
Fortunately, you brought Auntie out, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear the news now."
After saying that, she lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "I shouldn't have advised you. I almost hurt my aunt."
Lin Man quickly waved her hands, "No, Sister Wang, you did nothing wrong. I know you're doing this for my own good."
She felt like she was dreaming. All the worries she had before were solved after she came across Shuguang Supermarket.
Supermarket owner Jiang is like an angel sent by God to save humanity.
A warm feeling flowed through Lin Man's heart. "Mom, I will definitely find a way to get the medicine so that you can recover soon."
Ten minutes later, the supermarket stopped in front of a primary school, and the loudspeaker sounded again:
"Dear passengers, you have arrived at your destination. Please get off as soon as possible."
"ah!!"
As soon as Sister Wang walked out of the waiting area, she was scared back by a pitch-black mutant beast.
