Chapter 21 The high temperature continued and the water evaporated



The indoor temperature is set at 25 degrees, and the temperature outside is already 40 or 50 degrees, which is the highest temperature ever.

Only five days had passed, and the water downstairs had receded from the sixth floor. The current water level was barely enough to cover a person's thighs. Some stubborn people had already come out of the building, ready to try their luck and find some supplies.

Mo Wennian lifted a corner of the curtain and saw people coming out of the building opposite. Before they reached Building 8 where he was, they were besieged by zombie fish and eventually eaten.

This man's death made those around him who wanted to go out to look for supplies even more frightened, but it had been almost a month since the incident and they really had nothing to eat.

Since it didn't work during the day, they began to think about the possibility of going out at night, but no one dared to take the risk now.

When the water level was high, the zombie fish had a large range of activities and the probability of encountering them was small. Now it is different. The water level has dropped, the activities of the zombie fish are hindered, and the probability of encountering them has increased.

Wen Luoshu and her partner were ready to go out and look for supplies. Most of the people living in their building were elderly, and many of them had not survived the heavy rain. The whole building was filled with a foul smell, and occasionally one could see elderly people with blisters and swelling floating in the water.

"Ugh...so disgusting..."

Yuan Moyu didn't expect that it would be a critical hit at the very beginning.

Wen Luoshu's face wasn't very good either, but there was nothing she could do. Their funds were limited at the beginning, and the food they stored could sustain them for a year or two, but it was totally not enough for five years.

They can only take advantage of the current situation and look for more supplies.

Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way. Most of the bodies were elderly, but we didn't encounter any others.

Fortunately, there is a supermarket right at the entrance of the community, and it was already open at this time, probably because someone had come there in advance.

As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Moyu felt something was wrong. There were several bodies lying in the supermarket. The problem was that the bodies were bitten to death.

Wen Luoshu also noticed it and her face changed. She hoped that it would not appear too soon.

"Go quickly and put the edible things into the basket first. I'll go collect the other side."

The two of them acted separately, knowing that things were not simple. Without saying much, they quickly took charge.

In less than two minutes, Wen Luoshu had packed up most of the mall. Whatever she touched, she put directly into her space. Yuan Moyu was slower, but he also filled a lot of baskets with food and placed them at the door.

Wen Luoshu arrived at the door and the two of them met up. They could already hear rustling sounds inside the supermarket.

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

Wen Luoshu put the things into the space, pulled Yuan Moyu and ran away. The two of them came here by kayak, and now they just hoped not to be caught up.

When the two of them rowed a distance of five or six meters, they saw several large rats standing at the door. Their eyes were red, their teeth were very sharp, and their claws flashed with cold light. They were twice as big as ordinary rats.

They seemed unable to get out and could only roar twice at the supermarket entrance.

Could there be something more dangerous in the water?

Wen Luoshu thought so, but her hands did not stop moving. She didn't care about the dirt on her body and paddled towards the community desperately.

Just as they were about to go downstairs, something followed them from behind and they encountered a zombie fish.

It was probably a carp, about half the length of a forearm, with several corpses of old people behind it.

Yuan Moyu looked back and saw the zombie fish opening its mouth wide. Its mouth slowly expanded, revealing its sharp teeth. It bit the corpse in front of it. Soon one corpse was bitten in half, and it began to bite the second corpse.

Seeing that she was about to catch up with the two, Wen Luoshu directly hit the zombie fish's head with the oar. She didn't know if it worked, but the two did run away.

After running all the way back into the room, the two of them were finally able to save their lives.

"Is this the zombie fish? It's as terrifying as the descriptions."

Yuan Moyu touched his chest and breathed heavily. He was very glad that he had chosen a high floor, otherwise he would have encountered it long ago.

"Well, luckily we got a message back from Mo Wennian and his team about how to deal with it, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

It was also Wen Luoshu’s first time to come into contact with zombie fish, and the feeling was really scary.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'm going to go sort out our food."

Wen Luoshu was more receptive and went to the space to clean up the food. Before cleaning up, she took out some water. The two of them wiped off the dirt on their bodies, changed into new clothes, and threw away the dirty clothes directly.

While Wen Luoshu was tidying up the space, Yuan Moyu was not idle either. Instead, she took out the notes she had made in advance, which contained some records of zombie creatures.

(I really admire the two young ladies, they are really well prepared.)

(Indeed, but I think the best choice they made was to learn about Mo Wennian's group, which greatly increased their chances of survival.)

(I just like watching some smart people living in the apocalypse. I don’t know what to complain about those groups.)

(Indeed, I feel like Zhou Yingdi’s family is on the verge of collapse.)

(+1, watching their group, suddenly I feel like my life seems pretty good too.)

Now the only two groups that don’t know about zombie fish are Huo Shaohua and the Meng siblings.

If Huo Shaohua knew about the zombie fish, he might have run away immediately. The Huo family doesn't lack this little penalty for breach of contract, but if Tang Xiaoran is added, they will have to think about it.

There were also people in the Huo family watching his live broadcast, and they found it a bit funny to see him looking so helpless and furious.

The Meng family definitely cannot afford to pay the penalty for breach of contract for the two people. Although they were forced to come in, they did not invest much money.

Director Xun just wanted to create a comparison between the two. This variety show has cost Director Xun all his fortune, but fortunately the feedback is still good.

The Meng family was also afraid, and trembling with them. They regretted sending them to participate in the variety show. They thought it was nothing serious, but when something really happened, they couldn't help at all.

But when they looked at Meng Chen's group, the Meng family was filled with hatred. How could he live so well after leaving the Meng family? Didn't they say that he and Mo Wennian had a bad relationship? This didn't seem like a bad relationship.

They comforted themselves over and over again in their hearts, saying that they were just pretending and that in reality their relationship was very bad, and that was the only way they could comfort themselves.

There is hurt only when there is comparison. Meng Chen now feels that his life has not changed much from before, but he doesn't know that it may not seem that way to outsiders.

Only a few of the original residents of this community are still alive, and they are all living in dire straits. They hope that the sun can evaporate the water quickly and kill all the zombie fish downstairs.

Just as they wished, on the seventh day of high temperature, there was no water downstairs, the zombie fish disappeared, and two corpses occasionally appeared on the ground. No one knew whose family had died again.
