Chapter 22: Holding Each Other Together
"Sister, if the number of zombies continues to increase, our gate will collapse."
The hot weather made the fishy smell in the air even stronger. Liang Yingsheng held his breath, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his small and tall nose.
"I know."
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the stairwell, and soon Jiang Mingfei appeared in the first-floor lobby with a dozen residents.
Some people were carrying furniture and some were holding weapons, and they were all shocked when they saw the scene at the gate.
"Everyone, quickly bring your stuff over here to block the door!" Yan Baoan took the lead in propping up the dismantled bedroom door. "In this critical moment, we can only stick together. If you want to survive, quickly take down everything in your house that can block the door!"
Many people followed suit and removed the removable doors in their homes. After struggling for more than half an hour, the door was finally blocked tightly.
However, in this case, if everyone wants to go out to find supplies, they will not be able to pass through here.
"We might as well completely seal the emergency exit door leading to the first floor. From now on, if we have to leave, we'll go through the underground parking lot."
Yan Baoan suggested.
After the power was cut off, the underground parking lot was almost pitch dark. No one knew how many zombies there were there. Naturally, no one wanted to leave there.
However, under the current circumstances, it is impossible to remove the object blocking the door.
Someone in the crowd started cursing, "When will this fucking apocalypse end? It won't really take years, will it?"
"It's all Sister Wang's fault. That old woman wants to die and is planning to drag us down with her. What should we do now?"
"Why don't we leave here together? We can't stay here forever. We have to leave sooner or later. Maybe the country has already built a safe haven or something like that?"
"Leave? How can you leave? There are zombies everywhere outside. Do you dare to leave?"
Everyone was talking at once and about to start a quarrel, so Yan Baoan and Jiang Mingfei started to calm everyone down.
It’s been almost a month since the apocalypse, and there’s been no news from the country. There are more and more zombies outside, and fewer and fewer people alive. Anyone would collapse.
However, the more times like this come, the more we need someone to step up and take charge of the situation.
Liang Yingsheng knew that Yan Baoan was such a person.
Of course, he is quite suitable.
"Everyone, think about it. At least those evil people won't target our building for the time being." Jiang Mingfei's voice rang out again. "I believe that as long as we unite and face the outside world together, we can survive to the end."
Liang Yingsheng did not participate and went straight upstairs with Liang Zhimo.
Survive to the end?
At least, as long as some evil-minded parasites are still in the building, it is impossible for anyone to survive to the end.
After returning home, Liang Zhimo could sense that Liang Yingsheng was in a bad mood. She even changed into light clothes and started practicing martial arts in the empty guest room.
You know what, his sister is quite good at boxing, and it looks like she has the momentum to knock down a zombie with one punch.
Seeing Liang Zhimo standing at the door, Liang Yingsheng ordered indifferently: "Liang Zhimo, follow me into the space."
Before Liang Zhimo could ask any questions, Liang Yingsheng had already grabbed his sleeve and brought him into the personal space.
The space has a pleasant scenery, and coupled with the renovations made by the two during this period, it feels like a paradise in a TV drama.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are almost ripe, and the poultry and animals that were previously kept in captivity are also growing well.
The two even picked up more than a dozen fresh chicken and duck eggs.
Liang Zhimo couldn't help but sigh: "There are zombies everywhere outside, who would have thought there is a pure land here."
Liang Yingsheng threw him a brand new set of sportswear and said, "Without me, your sister, do you still want to have this piece of pure land? Go for a run quickly. Stop when your sweat soaks through your clothes."
Liang Zhimo frowned: "Sister, are you crazy?"
"You crazy sister, if you don't exercise more with your small body, I'm afraid you will die before you even see your parents."
"Can……"
"What's the good? It looks like there's no need for anyone to be on duty. You and I should train well in this space for the next three days."
Three days passed in a flash, and the two of them ate, drank, defecated, urinated and slept in the space.
Although Liang Zhimo resisted, he was forced to exercise every day under the coercion of his sister until he was sweating all over and his clothes were soaked.
However, it really worked, and he could feel that his physical strength had improved a lot.
During these three days, Liang Yingsheng will also teach him some basic self-defense skills.
Liang Zhimo was shocked to realize that he didn't know anything about his sister who had the same father and mother as him and was even his biological sister.
At least, he didn't know that his sister's fighting power was so extraordinary, and she wielded the horsewhip so smoothly that several trees were whipped to a horrible state.
It was already the afternoon of the fourth day when I came out of the space.
As soon as he returned to the living room, Liang Yingsheng had an inexplicable strange feeling.
First, I picked up the telescope and observed the situation in the community.
The group of zombies that were blocking the first-floor door had dispersed, and two more corpses with their heads shot out appeared at the door of the building diagonally opposite.
"We're having snail noodles tonight. Get ready. I'll go to the 10th floor to check on the situation."
Liang Zhimo rubbed his sore arm and nodded.
As soon as he opened the door, Liang Yingsheng saw several scratches on the outer protective door and a lot of paint around the door lock had fallen off.
Liang Yingsheng's eyes darkened. It seemed that someone couldn't hold back and wanted to seek death in the past three days!
Oh--
After thinking about it, she took a riding whip and walked up to the 10th floor in her slippers.
As soon as he reached the stairs on the 10th floor, Liang Yingsheng heard voices coming from the corridor.
"It's been three days and the family still hasn't responded. He must have died inside. He committed suicide."
"Yan Baoan, I also feel that the brother and sister might have committed suicide. They must have a lot of food at home, otherwise we..."
Before Yan Baoan could speak, a female voice with a hint of playfulness sounded at the right time.
"Oh? I just had a minor illness and slept for three days. How come we died?"
Soon, a pretty young girl in a T-shirt appeared in the corridor.
Seeing Liang Yingsheng, Yan Baoan's eyes lit up. "Miss Liang, are you okay? Something big happened in our building yesterday. I wanted to look for you, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. We thought..."
"Oh, I'm sick, and my brother is too busy taking care of me to take care of me."
Liang Yingsheng said perfunctorily.
Yan Baoan nodded and said, "I'm glad you're alright. Ms. Liang, we're discussing whether or not to kick Wang Jianyu and his family out. Since you're here, why don't you vote?"
oh?
Drive away Wang Jianyu’s family?
Liang Yingsheng immediately became interested. It seemed that he had missed a lot of things in these three days.
Leaning against the wall, Liang Yingsheng nodded, "Tell me more."
Yan Baoan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "A helicopter came over the morning before yesterday, saying that Jiangcheng officials had built a shelter and everyone could go there on their own. However, the shelter isn't finished yet, so we decided to wait a while before going, as it might be finished by then."
