Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Zombies
He Junxia's plan achieved good results.
After taking Xie Liqing out to demonstrate a few times, she finally had a new understanding of her son's strength. She felt much more relaxed and was no longer as pessimistic as before. She would even smile occasionally.
One day, two days, three days...
Time flows like a long river. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The rescue that the people of City A have been looking forward to has not arrived yet, which makes people feel despair.
The water, electricity, gas and signal are gone.
They seemed to be trapped on an isolated island, or like a fish forced to go ashore, with no one to turn to, no one to save them, and no ability to save themselves, so they could only wait quietly for death.
Fortunately, the country has not really given up on the survivors in this city.
On an ordinary morning, the sun rose in the east, the morning glow wielding a paintbrush painted a vibrant canvas. The world seemed draped in a beautiful veil, even the roars of the zombies foraging for food faded.
However, a distorted human voice that came from nowhere mercilessly tore off the mask, awakening the survivors' inner desire to survive with a tough attitude.
——The government has established a disaster relief base in each of the four directions of City A. However, due to the current lack of manpower, the rescue process is slow. Survivors who are able to do so are welcome and encouraged to go to the disaster relief base on their own.
As the news came out, the survivors in various parts of City A were in turmoil.
Some people bravely found the direction where the sound came from, but they only saw a small robot car with a horn moving back and forth among the zombies on the street, which made their idea of leaving with the person who notified the news come to nothing.
…
"Mom, why don't we go to the disaster relief base? There's no point staying here. We don't know how long it will take for help to arrive."
He Junxia turned around and asked Xie Liqing.
Xie Liqing rubbed her brows and said, "I need to think about it carefully."
She was not an ignorant child, so she could naturally understand the hidden meaning of the broadcast and understood that it would be difficult for the rescue team to arrive in a short time.
The problem is that going to the disaster relief base alone is too risky.
The slightest carelessness can result in death.
He Junxia looked at the worry on Xie Liqing's face and suggested, "We can drive over."
Xie Liqing worried: "We only have one electric bike at home. I'm afraid it will be surrounded by zombies before we even get halfway."
He Junxia: "You can use the cars on the road."
Xie Liqing was helpless: "I can't drive a car, can you drive?"
"I won't."
He Junxia was about to answer "I can", but just as the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she was now a 17-year-old senior high school student.
It was a close call, I almost got exposed.
Xie Liqing didn't notice her son's suddenly dilated pupils. She sighed and said, "That's it. We don't have a car, and no one knows how to drive. We can't fly over there."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
The living room suddenly fell silent. After a moment, Xie Liqing replied, "What's the matter?"
"Look, sister, didn't the broadcast this morning say that the government has built four disaster relief bases? I came to ask if anyone wants to go with us. There's strength in numbers."
"If you're interested, you can go to Room 402 before 10 o'clock. That's my home and we can discuss it together."
"I won't bother you any more. I still have to go upstairs to ask other people."
Xie Liqing relaxed: "Okay, I'll think about it, thank you."
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. After a while, the same words were faintly heard from upstairs, but unfortunately there was no response.
Xie Liqing glanced at the wall clock. It was still more than half an hour before ten o'clock.
She hesitated and said, "How about I go to Room 402 and take a look. You wait for me at home."
"Let's go together."
He Junxia disagreed: "It would be troublesome if that person turned out to be a liar."
Xie Liqing thought about it and it made sense. Her son was a person with special abilities, so if she took her son with her, she wouldn't have to worry even if the other party had bad intentions.
The two of them came to Room 402 together. The door of Room 402 was opened a little. He Junxia knocked on the door first and walked in after getting permission from the person inside.
There was only a young girl in the living room. When she saw them come in, she warmly invited them to sit down first.
"Wait a moment, my boyfriend is still asking people upstairs."
Xie Liqing's focus was on something else: "He's your boyfriend, you guys aren't married yet?"
The young girl blushed and said, "We just got married. I'm used to it."
Xie Liqing laughed: "I was wondering, the wedding photos are already on display, why is it still a boyfriend?"
The young girl's ears were almost red.
Xie Liqing smiled and said, "What does your husband do? He's quite brave. We are all afraid of zombies and dare not go out, but he dares to knock on every door."
Young girl: "He used to be a soldier and just got discharged this year."
Xie Liqing clapped her hands and praised, "I was just saying, you're a soldier, no wonder you're so brave, so impressive."
He Junxia silently watched the two of them asking and answering each other. After a while, Xie Liqing had dug up every detail of the couple, even where their hometowns were and how many brothers and sisters they had.
What a simple person.
He Junxia sighed in her heart, and suddenly there was a heavy knock on the door. The force was so great that it seemed not to remind the person inside to open the door, but to knock the door apart.
He Junxia frowned slightly.
The young girl, Xia Dandan, immediately stood up to open the door. However, before she even reached it, the person outside impatiently said, "Open the door! Why aren't you opening the door? What do you mean? Didn't you ask me to come and discuss this?"
He sounds like a fierce man.
Xie Liqing frowned and reminded: "Sister Xia, don't open the door yet, look through the peephole." This kind of hot-tempered person likes to fight when he disagrees with something.
As she spoke, she turned around and winked at her son, telling him to be prepared and to use his supernatural powers to intimidate the other party if anything went wrong.
After receiving the eye signal, He Juanxia stood up and said, "Sister Dandan, please step back. I'll open the door."
Xie Liqing hesitated to speak, but did not say anything to stop her son's behavior. She just said, "Be careful."
"Um"
He Junxia nodded, leaned forward to look through the peephole on the door before opening it.
The man cursing outside was stunned for a moment when he saw the door open. After seeing the boy's expressionless face, he pointed unhappily and said, "Why are you opening so slowly? If a zombie suddenly appears, I'm doomed."
Xia Dandan quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but don't worry, the zombies in this building have been killed by kind people, it's safe."
The man stared at Xia Dandan from head to toe, his disgusting eyes looking as if he wanted to rip all her clothes off: "Just because you say it's safe, it's safe?"
He sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed, acting like a big boss, as if he was not a guest in someone else's house, but back in his own home.
"Why don't you even have saliva? You can't be so stingy."
The smile on Xia Dandan's face gradually disappeared.
"roll."
The man scratched his ears, pulled out a fruit knife from his waist and shook it: "You told me to leave, so I left. That would be so embarrassing."
"How about this, go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of noodles and two eggs, and I'll give you some face."
Just as Xie Liqing was about to speak, Xia Dandan mouthed a signal. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, not knowing why. Then she heard her soft voice say, "Okay, you wait."
Xia Dandan bent down, and when she stood up again, there was a black rebar in her hand.
"I say again, get out."
The man hadn't expected the seemingly delicate woman to have such a violent temper. He put away the fruit knife with a playful smile and said, "Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously?"
What a "Sichuan Opera Face Changing"
(PS: This is when Sichuan Opera face-changing was most criticized)
The other three people in the living room watched the man's performance quietly. The man didn't feel embarrassed at all. He kept smiling and trying to get over what had just happened.
But Xia Dandan was determined to let him go.
After all, when cooperating with such a weird thing, you have to worry about being cheated all the time. Usually, at most you will be cheated of some money or things, but in this situation, if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
There's no need to take risks.
The smile on the man's face finally faded. He stared at Xia Dandan and said, "Your husband called me here. It's not good for you to chase me away."
Xia Dandan said in a firm tone: "Excuse me, sir, cooperation is a two-way choice. You are not suitable for us. Please leave."
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the rebar in Xia Dandan's hand suddenly bent into a twist shape, and the man looked at her with a confident and proud look on his face.
A gold-type mutant?
"Oh"
Xia Dandan waved her right hand, and several water blades condensed in the air and rushed straight towards the man's face. One of the blades left a shallow blood mark on the man's face.
The man's expression suddenly changed: "Water-type mutant!"
Xia Dandan said coldly: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you."
The two men were in a stalemate. Anyone could see the anger in the man's eyes, and a war seemed to be about to break out.
He Junxia narrowed her eyes and deliberately lowered her voice in surprise, "Mom, Sister Dandan is also a superpower. Now you can rest assured. With Sister Dandan and I, we will definitely protect you and get you to the base safely."
Although the boy's voice was small, it accurately reached everyone's ears, and Xia Dandan and the man's expressions changed drastically.
The man looked at the young man on the sofa in surprise and suspicion, suspecting that the other party was lying on purpose to make him give up.
The next second, a small fireball erupted from the boy's palm. Even from a distance, everyone could feel the terrifying heat radiating from the fireball.
The man said angrily, "Just leave, who cares."
The man slammed the door shut. Xia Dandan breathed a sigh of relief, then wondered, "Aren't people with special abilities rare? We actually have three of them in this building."
He Junxia was also a little strange.
However, there is no absolute statement about probability, and there is no point in worrying too much.
Xia Dandan obviously thought of this as well, and turned to discuss with He Junxia how to further develop superpowers and expand their attack methods.
The offensive power of water-based abilities is still too low.
He Junxia smiled and said, "Water is the source of all things. Every living thing contains a lot of water, and zombies are no exception."
Xia Dandan seemed to be lost in thought.
Then more people came to Room 402, but because of the example of the weird guy, these people were relatively easy to get along with.
After everyone discussed it, a total of ten people decided to leave, including the newlywed couple who organized the event, He Junxia and Xie Liqing, a mother and son, a pair of grandparents and grandchildren, a family of three, and a girl.
Among them, the newlyweds and the grandparents and grandchildren each have a car, and the family of three has a small van. Everyone can sit together if they squeeze together, and the small van has a large compartment that can hold a lot of things.
At eight o'clock the next morning, everyone arrived at the gathering point on time. A convoy consisting of two cars and a small truck slowly drove out of Hongguang Community.
A moment later, another car drove out slowly and followed quietly behind the convoy.
