Chapter 2, Day 4



The two sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without food, how will they wait for rescue to arrive?

There are zombies everywhere outside. It seems impossible for rescue to arrive in a short time.

Moreover, it's still uncertain whether there will be any rescue.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

"Do we have to go out and find food?"

An Qingwu's face turned pale. Just thinking about the terrifying-looking zombies outside made her legs go weak.

“Impossible.” An Qingge shook her head. “The corridor outside is full of zombies. If the two of us go out, we’ll definitely die.”

"What should we do?" An Qingwu often diets and knows the feeling of hunger best. She usually eats various low-fat foods to maintain her figure. Although she is hungry, the feeling is very mild and her body will not suffer from malnutrition.

But what if the food supply really runs out...

She couldn't imagine the consequences.

An Qingge was also a little flustered at this point. She realized the seriousness of the problem. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I remember there is some food in the refrigerator that should last for a while."

“But those things all belong to Brother Lin!” An Qingwu said.

Zhang Lin occasionally cooks for himself. He keeps some vegetables and pork in the refrigerator, but not much. It's enough for three meals if he's alone, but if there are three people...

"Let's go ask him later and see if he'd be willing to share some with us..."

...

"Of course I'd love to!"

By afternoon, the three had been waiting in the room for nearly ten hours, but no rescue had come. All they could hear were the howls of zombies outside the door and the piercing sound of sharp fingernails scratching at the walls.

None of the three of them had eaten breakfast.

When the zombies were discovered, it was only seven or eight in the morning. Two of the three people were office workers and one was a student. They either didn't eat breakfast or just bought something from a roadside stall.

Although the three of them spent most of the day lying in bed without expending any energy, they all reached their limits after nearly ten hours.

Modern people have never experienced hunger and have a low tolerance for it.

Inside the room, the two sisters hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to knock on Zhang Lin's door and talk about the food in the refrigerator.

They considered many possibilities, and the most likely one was that Zhang Lin wouldn't share with them at all, since everyone knew that food was the most important thing in the apocalypse.

But they didn't expect Zhang Lin to agree so readily.

"Thank you, Brother Lin!"

"Thank you, Zhang Lin!"

Both sisters were deeply moved.

Especially the younger sister, with tears in her eyes, probably already thought Zhang Lin was a very good person.

"I'll go cook. You guys go back and wait. I'll call you when it's done." Zhang Lin smiled gently and took on the cooking responsibilities.

"We can't accept this, let us help you!" An Qingge quickly said.

She's already entered society and has more ideas. Zhang Lin has already shared food with them, so if they still take it for granted, they'd be ungrateful.

Zhang Lin laughed and said, "You don't usually cook, so what help can you be? Go back."

Seeing his serious attitude, and thinking about it again, she realized that neither she nor her sister had ever lifted a finger in the kitchen, and that going to the kitchen might even waste food.

So, the two sisters went back with touching expressions on their faces.

After returning home, An Qingge couldn't help but say to her sister, "I didn't spend much time with Zhang Lin before, I really didn't expect him to be such a good person."

“Yes.” An Qingwu smiled.

Inside the kitchen.

Zhang Lin took out some green vegetables and a piece of meat, casually stir-fried two dishes, and cooked a pot of rice.

Normally, he could have easily dealt with this small amount of food himself.

But now it's the end of the world, so we have to be careful with our food.

After setting the food on the table, Zhang Lin knocked on the An sisters' door and called them out to eat.

The two sisters were surprised to find only this much stuff when they came out.

You see, there are three people who need to eat.

"Is that all?" An Qingge couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Lin said, "There's only so little food in the refrigerator. If we don't eat it sparingly, it'll be gone in a day. The situation is special right now, so please bear with it."

"Sigh, Brother Lin, you're right, that's all we can do," An Qingwu sighed.

An Qingge nodded helplessly, "Zhang Lin, you made the best arrangements."

The three had been sharing an apartment for several months, and this was the first time they had eaten at the same table. Facing the two beautiful women, Zhang Lin didn't look at them much and just quietly ate his meal.

After finishing his meal, he placed his chopsticks on the bowl and said, "You guys went online to watch it too, right?"

Although there were zombies outside, the internet, water, and electricity were not cut off.

People can still communicate with each other online.

Zhang Lin also read a lot of news, and even went abroad to check things out. After learning more, he realized that it wasn't just his city that had zombies, but the whole world.

The situation is very serious.

“We’ve seen it too.” An Qingge had put on light makeup that morning, which made her already flawless face appear even whiter and more delicate, but she looked a little haggard at this moment. “Many people in our company group haven’t said a word all day. I wonder if they’ve turned into zombies.”

An Qingwu also said, "It's the same in our classmate group. Luckily, I live off-campus. My roommates told me that if one person in the dorm turns into a zombie, the rest of them will also turn into zombies. It's terrifying!"

"Will there really be a rescue?" An Qingge asked, somewhat confused. "I see that the official accounts are only posting messages telling us to stay home and wait for rescue, but there's absolutely no information about the rescue itself."
