Chapter 46: Don’t Cry After
choosing her weapon, An Ran returned to the inner passage on the fifth floor and began to coax the two children with all her heart. What frustrated her was that the children were like spirits. Chen Jiao’s son was fine. He would sleep after eating. As long as he was not disturbed, he could sleep for one to two hours. However, the baby would wake up as soon as he was put down after being coaxed to sleep!
After finally coaxing the doll to sleep and putting it down, An Ran wanted to sleep for a while, but she forced herself to stay asleep, knowing that the doll would not give her much time. After coaxing the doll to sleep, An Ran immediately ran out of the internal passage and killed a zombie with a pair of scissors in hand.
This kills zombies faster and makes less noise. Today's zombies can only pay attention to the source of a sound for a dozen seconds at most. If they cannot continue to make noise, they will easily lose their hunting targets.
But they are constantly evolving. An Ran has lived among the zombies for so many days, and she has roughly noticed some differences. Some zombies can stay focused on the source of the sound for more than ten seconds after An Ran makes a sound, but some zombies will disperse quickly.
Some zombies react quickly to An Ran's attack, while some zombies are so stupid that even when An Ran's knife pierces their brains, they still don't react at all.
So An Ran felt that the zombies seemed to be getting stronger, and the speed of this strengthening varied from individual to individual, while the difficulties she encountered were increasing steadily. This hospital was not a place to stay for long.
When they reached the gate of the inner passage, An Ran dealt with several zombies that were following behind them, then picked up a large plastic bag under the feet of a zombie near the gate and ran back to the inner passage.
As soon as she entered the lounge, An Ranliu heard Baby crying. Sure enough, Baby was the kind of child who would wake up as soon as he was put down. An Ran couldn't remember where she had read an article that said children who would wake up as soon as they were put down had no sense of security and they needed adults to hold them all the time.
With a sigh, An Ran put down the plastic bag in her hand and picked up the baby who was crying on the bed. She kept lamenting in her heart, when survival became more and more difficult, how could she continue to survive in the apocalypse with such a child who lacked a sense of security and needed to be held by adults all the time?
Looking at the baby's little head leaning towards her chest, Anran lifted up her clothes and started to feed the baby while rummaging through the plastic bag she had just brought back. There was still no food in it, only diapers, small clothes, pacifiers, temperature-sensing spoons, etc.
Playing with the unopened pacifier in her hand, An Ran saw that the baby was full, so she put the baby in the crib. Sure enough, the baby didn't last more than two minutes before starting to cry. An Ran hurriedly opened the pacifier in her hand and put it into the baby's mouth.
She sucked on the pacifier, hummed twice in dissatisfaction, and fell asleep quietly with the pacifier in her mouth.
“A divine weapon!”
An Ran was almost about to burst into tears, although experts said that pacifiers have both advantages and disadvantages for children, and it is best not to use them for children if possible, so as to avoid the trouble of quitting them in the future.
But what time is it now? There are zombies everywhere outside. An Ran has to consider the actual situation. Of course, the best thing is to stop the insecure child from crying.
