Ruan Jiyan couldn't fall asleep until late at night.

Ruan Jiyan found a small blanket for the kitten and wrapped it up. It was well behaved at first, but gradually became irritable.

In a flash, the kitten ran to the bedroom door, scratching the door with its gray paws, making a sharp and piercing sound.

At first, Ruan Jiyan thought it was not used to being here, as unfamiliar environments always make small animals feel scared.

But Ruan Jiyan immediately dismissed this idea. It didn't look like the kitten was scratching the door to leave because it was not used to it. Kittens usually scratch things when they feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment, but they do so intermittently.

But this cat is scratching the door very eagerly, as if there is something outside the door. It also keeps making very loud noises. Is it trying to scare something away?

Ruan Ji Yan thought about it, put down his phone, lifted the blanket and got out of bed, walked over lightly but quickly, picked up the kitten, his nerves tense, and listened hard to see if there were any sounds outside.

After listening for a while, Ruan Jiyan did hear a sound, but the sound was relatively small, like the sound of human footsteps.

Ruan Jiyan looked around, picked up a small stool and wanted to open the bedroom door to get a better look.

The kitten made a purring sound after she picked it up. Ruan Jiyan gently put it down and pushed it onto the bed.

Then she locked the bedroom door.

In fact, Ruan Ji Yan felt that nothing had broken into her house because she did not hear any sound of the door being broken. However, she was still a little worried because the kitten was crying so loudly.

With a click, the bedroom door was opened, and the warm yellow light from the bedroom shone through her from behind and into a corner of the living room. Ruan Jiyan held the small stool tightly in his hands, his eyes fixed on the door.

There was no light in the living room, but the ray of light coming from the bedroom could still help Ruan Jiyan see every corner of the living room clearly.

She looked around to make sure nothing strange had come into the house before she tiptoed to the door.

Ruan Jiyan did not put his head directly to the cat's eyes, but slowly put his head against the door to try to listen to the movement outside the house.

She listened for a minute but heard nothing outside, so she looked outside through the cat's eye.

But from the cat's eye view, I didn't see any suspicious people or objects outside the corridor, except for the flashing lights.

Ruan Jiyan put down the small stool and walked into the bedroom.

The kitten kept meowing on the bed, and the sound was getting louder and louder. Ruan Jiyan felt panicked when he heard it.

She had no choice but to go to the second bedroom, rummage through the cupboard, and found the goat milk powder and cat food she had bought when she had a cat.

She found a bag of unopened cat food and a can of goat milk powder, checked the expiration dates, and after making sure they were not expired, she made a cup of goat milk powder for the kitten.

She poured the cat food into the small iron bowl and also filled the basin with water.

Afterwards, she put the kitten next to the cat food, but the kitten didn't eat a single bite. It cried so hard that it almost scratched Ruan Jiyan.

An unknown emotion flashed across Ruan Jiyan's eyes, and then he began to think.

Maybe the cat sensed something. Animals are known to sense natural disasters. Maybe it realized that something was changing in the world.

Ruan Ji Yan was a little at a loss. He just stood aside and watched the little cat screaming heartbreakingly.

She lifted the thick curtains that covered the window and took a look.

The scene outside the window was eerie. There were few lights on in the buildings opposite. The night, which should have been pitch black, was covered in silver light and seemed to be glowing under the extremely bright moonlight.

The moon tonight was the brightest Ruan Jiyan had ever seen, and the moonlight was slightly orange-red. If the phone hadn't shown that it was 1 a.m., Ruan Jiyan would have wondered if the day and night were reversed.

But the more she saw such scenes, the more they reminded her that something strange was about to happen. She felt inexplicably irritated and stared blankly at the cars still driving on the road in the distance.

How long can this peaceful scene last?

When she came back to her senses, the kitten had stopped making noises. It ran to the cat food bowl and ate its food, and also drank a few sips of water.

Then he ran to Ruan Jiyan's feet and grabbed her pants.

Ruan Jiyan put the kitten back on the bed, wrapped it in a small blanket, and set the alarm for six o'clock.

She wanted to go out again tomorrow morning while she still had some time, to at least bring back some supplies for the kitten.

Ruan Ji Yan didn't sleep well the whole night. She had several bizarre dreams. Some of them were about the copies she had experienced before, and some were about her being torn apart by zombies and becoming part of the walking dead.

Every time she was awakened, she would break out in a cold sweat. She said that she was not afraid of these things, but that was all false. She was a normal person and of course she was afraid of death.

The kitten was sleeping soundly beside her pillow, making snoring sounds.

Ruan Jiyan adjusted his rapid breathing, then lay on his side to think about life.

The little kitten seemed to sense the uneasiness of the people around it. It slowly crawled up and crawled into Ruan Jiyan's quilt, lying on Ruan Jiyan's arms.

Ruan Jiyan held it tightly in his arms, gently stroked its fur and soothed it to sleep.

…

The next day, Ruan Jiyan was awakened by the alarm clock at six o'clock. She got up, washed, and found a thick lambskin coat to wrap herself tightly. She also wrapped two rounds of gauze around her legs to prevent accidental injuries and infections.

She closed the windows of the bedroom and balcony, drew the thin white curtains, then picked up a sharpened long knife she had bought two days ago and walked out.

She thought about it and still felt that the supplies might not be enough. Although she needed the master to deliver some goods to her home today, she still had to go out and buy some more things.

There is no sun today, and the sky is covered with thick dark clouds. There is a slight breeze from time to time. Although it is just the beginning of autumn, it is a bit chilly.

She checked the time, 6:21. Ruan Jiyan set an alarm for 10 o'clock. She estimated the distance and decided that she would go to a large supermarket first, then go to the flower and bird market to buy some fertilizer and soil, and then go home to grow some vegetables.

No matter how frozen the vegetables you buy are, they will eventually go bad. Besides, freshly picked vegetables are always much fresher than frozen ones.

In the early morning, there was no one around except for some young people taking a walk and old men and women going to the morning market.

Ruan Jiyan arrived at the large supermarket in the city center without any obstruction. She pushed a cart straight to the living area.

When I walked into the living area, I bought thirty extra-large power banks and a dozen data cables without hesitation, and also bought two high-quality power strips.

Then she bought some juice and energy drinks, as well as frozen meat and frozen fruit. Finally, she bought several cheap shirts and down jackets, a small blanket and electric blanket, and a large bag of women's daily necessities.

After a while, the cart next to her was full, and Ruan Jiyan went to pay the bill when he saw that it was almost full.

When she was checking out, the cashier looked at the things on her cart and gave her a look of suspicion, which was then replaced by joy.

When she helped Ruan Jiyan settle the bill, she also said, "Would you like to apply for a membership card? After becoming a member, you can participate in the lucky draw every month~ and you will get big discounts on your purchases."

Ruan Jiyan was not moved at all, she directly refused: "No need."

The end of the world is coming, and these things are of no use to her. By then, she won't need money to buy things, and she will either have to barter or rob them, and this membership card will be a useless card.

The cashier saw that she rejected it so quickly, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, but he did not recommend it again.

Ruan Jiyan pushed the cart to the underground garage, loaded all the items into the cart, pushed the cart to the cart rack nearby, got in the car and left the supermarket.

As soon as I drove out of the underground garage, the cell phone on the passenger seat rang.

Ruan Ji Yan wasn't sure who it was. Since she entered this world from the perspective of the game copy, apart from contacting the masters who helped her with decoration and delivery, no one she knew had ever called her. So when she picked up the phone without paying attention, she thought it was the master who delivered the goods to her door.

"Hello." Ruan Jiyan's voice was cold and emotionless.

"Team Leader Ruan." The voice came from a little girl with a soft voice. Ruan Jiyan knew it was an employee in her design team without even having to react.

This little girl has a good personality and is very cute. Ruan Jiyan likes her very much, so he knew it was her right away.

"Chen Xi, what do you want?" Ruan Jiyan's voice softened, thinking that she must have something to ask him.

While listening to Chen Xi talking, she drove towards the flower and bird market.

Two minutes later, Ruan Jiyan's white SUV stopped at the entrance of the Flower and Bird Market and she walked in with her cell phone.

Chen Xi was still whispering in her ear: "Sister Ruan, Brother Fang just sent me a message saying he will come to see us in a while. Why don't I come to see you first?"

Ruan Jiyan pointed to the things he wanted to buy and replied to Chen Xi: "Okay, where are you now? I'll pick you up."

Chen Xi quickly refused: "No need, sister, where are you? I'll come find you. I'm just at the supermarket in the city center."

What a coincidence! Ruan Jiyan said he would pick her up in five minutes and then hung up the phone.

She had already made her selection, and after the boss helped carry two bags of nutrient soil and a small bag of fertilizer to the car, she turned around and went to pick up Chen Xi.

The supermarket and the flower and bird market were not far apart, so she soon came to the supermarket's underground garage again.

Ruan Jiyan did not go up again, but sent her a message and waited for her in the car.

After waiting for a long time, Ruan Jiyan watched the time pass from 8:40 to 9:30, and then he saw Chen Xi at the door of the underground supermarket.

Ruan Jiyan slowly reversed the car, then got out, opened the trunk, and helped Chen Xi put the things in.

Chen Xi bought a lot of things, three boxes of mutton rolls, three boxes of beef rolls, a few packets of hot pot base, a bottle of sparkling water, and a lot of shrimps and shrimp slips, all hot pot ingredients. Finally, he took out a duck pot from the cart.

She smiled and looked at the helpless Ruan Jiyan innocently and said, "It's... autumn now, let's go back and have a hot pot, hehe."

Ruan Ji said with a hint of understanding: "You also know that it is the beginning of autumn, the autumn heat, it is still hot, and you are thinking about eating hot pot?"

"It's not that we can only eat hot pot when the weather is cold. Besides, the temperature dropped so much today, eating hot pot is the most enjoyable thing!" The little girl smiled. She had been looking forward to this hot pot for a long time. A few days ago, there was a new disease on the hot search. It is safer to eat hot pot at home.

Ruan Jiyan was reminded again by what Chen Xi said that although it was only the beginning of autumn, Nanwu City should still be very hot, but the temperature suddenly dropped today. Everything was suggesting the arrival of a natural disaster.

She didn't say anything else. After putting their things away, they drove back to Ruan Jiyan's apartment.

As soon as they arrived at the community garage, Ruan Jiyan's phone rang again, this time it was the delivery man.

The master said that they placed all the things she wanted at the door of the apartment, but because there were too many things, several neighbors gathered around curiously, so for safety reasons they waited for her to come back and move the things back before leaving.

Ruan Jiyan thanked them twice, and then asked one of their masters to go to the elevator to help move the things that were sent up.

Ruan Jiyan and Chen Xi put the things into the elevator, and then Chen Xi took the key and went up first with the things in one elevator, while Ruan Jiyan moved the things downstairs and waited for the second elevator.

When the elevator came down again, Fang Ming followed Chen Xi down together. Chen Xi met Fang Ming on the first floor, and then the two of them went to the basement floor together with Ruan Jiyan to carry the things onto the elevator.

Fang Ming looked at the pile of things and was a little puzzled: "Are you planning to stay at home for a month? Why did you buy so much?"

Ruan Jiyan shook his head and denied it, saying that it was not just one month, but could be several months or even several years.

The three of them took the elevator with their things, and when they arrived at the door of their home, Fang Ming and Chen Xi were stunned.

Ruan Jiyan also ordered a lot of cat litter and cat food, as well as food and water, and solar panels.

Fang Ming couldn't help asking: "It's money biting your wallet, why did you buy so many weird things?"

Ruan Jiyan didn't say anything. After delivering the things to their homes, the masters prepared to leave. Ruan Jiyan gave each of them a bottle of water and then paid the service fee before asking them to leave.

After the door slammed shut, Fang Ming realized that she had even replaced the door. It had a double-layer aluminum alloy door inside and an iron gate outside.

The more Fang Ming looked at Ruan Jiyan, the more he found him strange.

Ruan Jiyan remained silent. The bedroom door opened a crack, and the gray and white kitten ran out from the crack and meowed twice.

Fang Ming had just put the food they bought into the refrigerator when she heard the cry of a kitten. She turned around and found that Ruan Jiyan's family had a kitten.

Fang Ming quickly put the things in the refrigerator, then picked up the kitten and walked into the kitchen.

While picking vegetables, Chen Xi asked Ruan Jiyan why he stockpiled so many things. Ruan Jiyan paused for two seconds and then slowly explained to her.

Ruan Jiyan was thinking about which part to talk about first, and finally decided to avoid the important points and just talk about something they could accept. They didn't need to know the rest.

"The news that was trending a few days ago was about the outbreak of a new virus."

"In fact, it's not an ordinary virus, but... a zombie virus." Ruan Jiyan explained patiently in a calm tone.

Snap——

The potatoes that Chen Xi was washing fell into the basin.

"How is it possible! Isn't that something that only appears in novels? How could it appear in reality?" Chen Xi was a little unconvinced.

Ruan Jiyan looked up at her with a firm look in his eyes without a trace of joking. Only then did Chen Xi slowly believe what she said.

Fang Ming stroked the cat at the kitchen door, then walked to the living room and fed it a cat snack before going into the kitchen.

As he reached the kitchen door, he heard the sound of sirens. He subconsciously walked to the window and opened the thin curtains. He saw a police car following the ambulance and heading towards the Nanwu City Third People's Hospital.

Ruan Jiyan stood up suddenly, ran out of the kitchen and checked his cell phone. The time on his cell phone was exactly twelve o'clock.

Her heart tightened and she had difficulty breathing.

The game begins!
