Chapter 71 Reality
Ye Li pressed the button and the elevator went down. He never expected that the original owner of the safe house had set up a safety button to avoid being trapped on the top floor.
After reaching the 48th floor, Ye Li immediately went to the special elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator went up.
After a while, the elevator door opened and Ye Li walked in, her key still in the keyhole.
Ye Li reached out and pressed the button for the second floor, while tightening his grip on the fire hammer.
Xiao Wu, please don't get into trouble! Otherwise, how can she face Sister Wu? And how can she explain this to Xiao Mu and Xi Xi?
Xiaomu and Xixi have long regarded Xiaowu as their brother.
The second floor is very dark.
Ye Li got out of the elevator and looked around carefully.
There were so many zombies going up from here that day, they definitely wouldn’t leave so quickly.
The building covers a large area, and she has to search one place at a time.
"Xiao Wu?" Ye Li called out in a low voice, not daring to shout too loudly for fear of attracting the zombies.
The building was so quiet, with only the sound of her footsteps and breathing.
Although she has faced this situation many times, her scalp still tingles and she is afraid that zombies will suddenly appear.
"Ah!" Xiao Wu's loud cry came from the end of the corridor.
"Xiao Wu."
Ye Li could no longer care about anything else and ran quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!" Ye Li shouted.
"Auntie Li Zi," Xiao Wu's cry for help came from the front.
Ye Li quickened his pace.
When I reached the end of the corridor and turned a corner, I saw Xiao Wu sitting on the ground.
He leaned against the wall, his hands pressed tightly against his neck, scarlet blood dripping from between his fingers.
He heard Ye Li coming over, so he turned his head and looked at Ye Li and said, "Aunt Li Zi, my mother bit me. She doesn't recognize me anymore. She has turned into one of them too."
His eyes were filled with tears of despair.
Tears rolled down Ye Li's eyes. She walked over, reached out to hug Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, be good and go back with Aunt Li Zi. Your mother loves you so much, she doesn't want to either."
Xiao Wu reached out to stop Ye Li, tears dripping from his big eyes. He choked and said, "Aunt Li Zi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stolen the key and ran down here alone."
"It's okay, Aunt Li Zi doesn't blame you. Come, let's go home." Ye Li lowered her head, her emotions instantly breaking down, tears streaming down her face. "Let's... go home."
Xiao Wu didn't answer.
Ye Li slowly raised his head and saw the thin Xiao Wu leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Xiao Wu?" Ye Li stretched out his hand in disbelief and gently pushed Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu's body tilted to the side, and the hand covering his neck slipped to the ground.
He's not breathing...
"Xiao Wu..." Ye Li held her face and cried bitterly.
Why is this happening?
Xiao Wu is just a child.
Why is reality so cruel?
"Ah..." The sound of zombies and their footsteps came from the end of the darkness.
Suddenly a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and its appearance gradually became clear.
Ye Li covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
It’s Sister Wu, she’s here.
Ye Li took one last look at Xiao Wu, then turned and fled.
…
On the top floor, Ye Li came out of the elevator and returned to the safe house.
Xiaomu and Xixi heard the sound and came over.
Xixi asked: "Mom, where is Brother Xiaowu?"
Xiaomu also looked behind Ye Li curiously, but there was no sign of Brother Xiaowu.
And Mama's eyes are a little red and swollen.
"Xiao Wu—" Ye Li squatted down, hugged Xiao Mu and Xi Xi, and said, "Xiao Wu went to find his mother."
Xiaomu was shocked and immediately understood what Ye Li meant.
