After finishing their meal, Xiao Jin and the other two prepared to rest.
Now that strangers have moved in next door, it's not easy to move the supplies from the small supermarket over.
Although the noodle shop is unassuming, it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The second floor is not spacious, but the layout is quite sophisticated, with three bedrooms and a living room, and every detail reveals the owner's meticulousness.
The master bedroom is occupied by Liu Xin and his wife. Duan Xiaofan is still young, and although he has his own room, he still sleeps with his parents.
Therefore, his room was turned into a toy room.
The second bedroom, which is right next to the master bedroom, is their eldest daughter's room.
The walls are covered with all sorts of posters, and the bookshelves are filled with books. According to Liu Xin, this is her eldest daughter Duan Ziyue's room.
However, Duan Ziyue lives at a boarding school in the city, so she only stays at home on Saturdays and Sundays.
The house was cleaned very well, and Liu Xin planned to let Xiao Jin stay in Duan Ziyue's room.
However, Xiao Jin rejected him.
"No need, I'll stay in the living room." Xiao Jin didn't get up and politely declined Liu Xin's offer.
Firstly, she needed to be constantly vigilant about the area around the noodle shop. Secondly, given her current identity as a man, it wasn't appropriate for her to stay in a young woman's room.
"This..." Liu Xin was at a loss.
Xiao Jin continued, "Although I've lured away all the zombies around us, we can't let our guard down. The living room is fine."
If anything unexpected happens, I will be able to react better.
Since she had already said that, Liu Xin didn't insist.
"Okay, I'll get you a thick blanket. The air conditioner in the living room is still blowing a lot of air."
The noodle shop gradually went dark, and Liu Xin and Xiao Jin also fell silent. Xiao Jin lay on her side on the sofa, fully clothed, with her feet dangling off the edge, not even taking off her shoes.
As for the blanket Liu Xin gave her, Xiao Jin didn't use it.
She was wearing a protective suit that could withstand extreme heat and cold, so what was a mere air conditioner breeze to her!
As for shoes, Xiao Jin didn't want to have to bend down and put on her shoes first after something happened.
I slept without any dreams...
The second day of the game, at 7 a.m.
Although everyone went to bed late last night, the sudden arrival of the apocalypse caused a tremendous upheaval in their hearts.
No matter how tired they are, no one really falls asleep.
She always woke up with red eyes in the morning. Liu Xin heated up some breakfast, including ready-made steamed buns, and cooked some rice porridge.
Anyway, they didn't have much of an appetite.
After Liu Xin got up, Xiao Jin also sat up.
Therefore, when Duan Chenghong came out, he saw Xiao Jin sitting upright on the sofa with the blankets next to her folded up.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xiao Jin hadn't slept all night.
"What's wrong, having trouble sleeping?"
Xiao Jin turned her head: "I'm used to getting up early, nothing happened last night."
"Heh~ That's quite rare." Duan Chenghong chuckled. "Kids your age usually like to sleep in."
"My daughter is like that, once she comes home from vacation, she's impossible to get up from before noon..."
As he spoke, Duan Chenghong's face suddenly stiffened, and his mood visibly dropped, as if he had thought of something.
Xiao Jin knew that he was thinking of his eldest daughter, who was still in school.
Duan Chenghong sighed: "We called the school, but no one answered at the academic affairs office, and neither did her homeroom teacher. We don't know how she is now."
Then Duan Chenghong pressed his temples, but secretly wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand.
The two went downstairs and ran into Liu Xin, who was busy at work. Xiao Jin knew that she hadn't slept either; the suppressed crying from next door had lasted for a long time last night.
Liu Xin came downstairs around 5 a.m.
At that moment, seeing Xiao Jin come down, Liu Xin smiled and brought over breakfast.
"Just grab a bite, I don't know if you're hungry, some porridge in the morning will make you feel better."
After putting down her chopsticks, Liu Xin turned and left, saying, "You guys eat, I've already eaten. I need to clean up the supplies in the kitchen and sort them out properly."
Both Xiao Jin and the other woman knew that she was deliberately keeping herself busy in order to suppress the restlessness, anxiety and fear in her heart.
No one spoke, only Duan Chenghong sighed.
Xiao Jin put down her spoon and asked, "Have you watched TV?"
"TV? Do you want to watch it?" Duan Chenghong didn't react at first, thinking that Xiao Jin was bored and wanted to find something to do.
He stood up and looked for the remote control.
There's a wall-mounted TV above the order counter in the kitchen on the first floor of the noodle shop. Customers often watch TV programs while they eat noodles.
Xiao Jin didn't explain, but watched as Duan Chenghong turned on the TV.
As soon as it was turned on, the familiar news channel appeared, but instead of a host, the speaker was a face that everyone in this world knew well—Chief No. 1.
The usually kind yet dignified old man was now speaking with a serious expression, and he was in the Great Hall of the People.
Meanwhile, the No. 1 leader was surrounded by a row of leaders in formal attire, as well as generals with numerous merits, and even founding marshals.
"Ladies and gentlemen... a virus capable of wiping out humanity is sweeping across our homeland, and now is a time of national crisis."
The nation will not abandon you, and we too must find ways to save ourselves...
...The Virus Research Institute will develop a vaccine...
Not only our country, but other countries have also fallen. From now on, our country's borders will be under closure...
Overseas Chinese, don't worry, we will...
All the TV channels were broadcasting this news conference, but it was a replay; judging from the time, the conference should have taken place yesterday afternoon.
Fortunately, the apocalypse has only just begun. Not only are the water and electricity still available, but there is also still a signal.
However, Xiao Jin was not from this world and had no interest in mobile phones, so she had no idea about surfing the internet.
Liu Xin and her husband devoted all their attention to their children; if it weren't for the fact that they could still make phone calls, they wouldn't have even remembered that they had cell phones.
Upon seeing the content on television, Duan Chenghong, who was standing in front, paused for a moment, and then his hands trembled slightly.
The country still remembers them!
Besides all the information, Duan Chenghong also noticed something else: starting this morning, the government had dispatched troops to clear the city of zombies.
They urged citizens to stay home and not go out.
If there are zombies in your home, please be sure to lock them in another room and hang a red cloth in a conspicuous place to facilitate rescue by the rescue team.
"Wife! Wife! Look!" Duan Chenghong shouted to Liu Xin in the kitchen as soon as he realized what was happening.
"The government has sent people to clear out the zombies, so Yueyue will definitely be fine."
"Really?" Liu Xin came out with vegetable leaves still on her hands, but her eyes were sparkling.
"Would I lie to you? It's all over the news. See for yourself if you don't believe me." Duan Chenghong pulled Liu Xin to stand in front of the TV.
