Chapter 11 Going out to find supplies
The noise in the corridor gradually disappeared, and Liang Yingsheng re-stuffed the sound insulation cotton and returned to the living room.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. There was a silent fan in the living room. Liang Zhimo sat on the carpet reading his thick medical book.
"He's even started researching Chinese herbal medicine!"
Hearing this, Liang Zhimo raised his eyes slightly and said, "Western medicine is hard to come by after the apocalypse. If you find herbs outside, planting them in your space would be a good choice."
Her eyebrows twitched. It sounded really good. Her brother was really smart.
Liang Yingsheng also chose a seat and took a bag of caramel-flavored sunflower seeds from the coffee table drawer. He opened it and said, "The highway is probably clogged with many abandoned vehicles. I imagine there are also many refugees driving their cars to escape. In half a month, there will be fewer and fewer people. Let's start from the national highway and try to take the smaller roads."
After closing the book, Liang Zhimo saw Liang Yingsheng pull out a national map from his space as if by magic. "I've already planned the route. Taking the longer route will delay us by two days, but it's safer than taking the highway."
"Sister, you said that you believed the end of the world was coming because you had the same dream over and over again, and when you woke up you found yourself with a portable space?"
Liang Yingsheng smiled slightly, his voice tinged with danger: "Why, you don't trust your sister?"
Liang Zhimo shook his head, "No, it's thanks to you that our family is still alive today."
He reached out and rubbed Liang Zhimo's soft short hair. Although he was only a few minutes younger than him, Liang Yingsheng always felt that Liang Zhimo was several years younger than him.
"Good brother, when you pick up mom and dad, just protect them. Your sister will protect you."
Liang Zhimo's eyes were a little sore. When he was a child, he was in poor health and there were always people bullying him. Liang Yingsheng always protected him. Once, in order to get back a toy that was stolen from him, Liang Yingsheng got into a fight with several boys and was covered in wounds on his face and body, and his arm was broken.
At that time, he resolutely decided to study medicine.
In the evening, there was another knock on the door.
Through the peephole, Liang Yingsheng could see two men standing outside.
One of them is a resident living on the 10th floor. Since he works as a security guard in a bank, everyone calls him Yan Baoan.
Seeing that Liang Yingsheng had too many express deliveries, Yan Baoan stepped in to help, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
The other one was thin and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, giving him a cultured look.
"Is Miss Liang home? We're planning to go out and look for supplies tomorrow, and we'd like to see if anyone in our building wants to go with us."
Looking back at Liang Zhimo, Liang Yingsheng opened the door a crack.
Seeing that there was a sturdy mesh security door outside, Yan Baoan smiled and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have installed another security door. Miss Liang, is anyone in your family going to visit?"
Liang Yingsheng pretended to be thinking, but his eyes were cast on another man.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly introduced himself, "Hello, Miss Liang, my name is Jiang Mingfei. I just moved into this community. I live on the same floor as Yan Baoan. I'm a junior high school teacher."
It turned out to be a teacher.
Liang Yingsheng nodded, "Hello, Teacher Jiang."
"You're welcome. The thing is, this disaster has been going on for half a month now. I guess everyone's running out of food at home? During this time, I've been researching the zombies out there and found some ways to avoid them. So, I've agreed with Yan Baoan to go out together to look for supplies tomorrow."
Liang Yingsheng hesitated for a few more minutes before agreeing: "Okay, then, what time tomorrow?"
"Can we meet in the tenth-floor corridor at nine in the morning? Have your family be prepared with weapons like kitchen knives."
"OK."
