Chapter 26: Sweep the floor, sweep the floor, sweep the floor (2)
The group went up the stairs. No one lived on the fourth floor. Liu Jie took out a small notebook from his arms and wrote down the room numbers. Lu Weiyi glanced at it and saw that it recorded the number of people, genders and approximate ages in each household in each building.
When Liu Jie saw him looking at him, he explained with a smile, "This way everyone will know what is going on, and it will be more convenient to deal with anything later."
Lu Weiyi nodded and continued to follow them up to the fifth floor.
There are two households on the fifth floor, one is probably empty, and the other is occupied by three generations of a family. Liu Jie was explaining his purpose to the old lady who opened the door. Lu Weiyi glanced inside through the open door. The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa had a pale face, and his heavy breathing could be heard from a distance. He glanced towards the door, his expression dull and his eyes bloodshot, as if he had not slept well for several nights.
Liu Jie stopped talking and looked at the man. Several men beside him silently clenched their weapons. It seemed that they had all seen this situation before.
"Your son has been infected and is about to turn into a zombie," Liu Jie said, turning his head to look at the man next to Lu Weiyi, who was leaning against the wall with one hand in his trouser pocket as if he had no bones, and his tone was hard to hide his flattery, "Brother Li, do we want to deal with it now?"
The old lady was just telling him that she was going to be kicked out because she couldn't come out, and she was unhappy about it. But when she heard that her son was going to turn into that kind of monster and she wanted to kill her son, she immediately turned hostile and shouted, "You're the one who turned into a zombie? Your whole family turned into zombies. My son just had a fever and didn't sleep well. He just needs to take some antipyretics and get some sleep."
"Old lady, you have seen the monsters walking around downstairs these past two days. When your son really turns into a zombie, your whole family will be the first to suffer."
"Stop talking nonsense here, my son is fine." The old lady was still protesting, but the woman next to the man inside, holding a girl who was a few years old, moved a little further away from the man. The old lady saw this and became even more furious. She put her hands on her hips and started to curse like a shrew, "Why are you hiding, you unlucky bitch who can't even give birth to a son. If you didn't have a father who was an official, my son would never have married you and given birth to a money-loser like you..."
"You..." The woman was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't utter a word. The daughter in her arms hugged his neck and whispered, "Mom, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, baby." The woman patted her daughter on the back, glared at the old lady, looked outside the door, and said, "There are so many people at home, you can handle it." After that, she turned around, carried the child back to the room, and locked the door directly.
The old lady continued to curse at the closed door. Lu Weiyi heard several men whispering behind him. The woman's parents were from the Wutong Municipal Government. The man also got into the government agency thanks to his father-in-law's relationship. Naturally, the mother-in-law flattered her in every way, but the father-in-law's family died in the earthquake a few days ago, and her true colors were immediately exposed.
Liu Jie was not interested in listening to her scolding. He knocked on the door frame with a metal pipe that he had taken from somewhere and said, "Old lady, if you don't come out, you have to move out."
"This is the house we bought with our own money, why are you kicking us out?" The old lady excitedly reached out to push Liu Jie, but was thrown to the ground by his strong weight. She immediately began to cry out, "Oh my God, is this going to kill me? A bunch of grown men are bullying an old woman like me. It's a pity that his father died early, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, to be bullied..."
