Chapter 42 Don't Peek
Ye Li dressed Xiaomu and Xixi in outdoor clothes and shoes, and gave each of them a small bag containing candied fruits, biscuits, and water.
Then she found the sling she made and tied Xixi behind her back.
Of course, don’t forget to bring something to protect yourself against zombies.
After completing all the preparations, Ye Li took his two children into the elevator, took the elevator down to the 48th floor, and then took another elevator to the first floor.
After getting out of the elevator, Ye Li pulled out the key and then carefully hid it in his inner pocket.
"Xiaomu, Xixi, come here, put this on, and keep your eyes closed. Promise Mommy not to peek!"
"Yeah," Xiaomu and Xixi obediently put on the eye masks given by Ye Li.
Ye Li then picked up Xiao Mu, and Xixi on her back hugged Ye Li's neck tightly. She asked softly, "Mom, where are we going?"
"Let's go meet up with some uncles first."
Ye Li followed the same route and headed towards the building where Qi Yuanchuan and the others were.
Just as Qi Yuanchuan and his team's building was right in front of them, suddenly, a wave of zombies rushed out from the street in front of the left. When they saw Ye Li and her mother and son, they let out strange cries and rushed towards them with their fangs and claws bared.
Ye Li hugged his son tightly, exerted force on his feet, and ran into Qi Yuanchuan's building.
After entering the fire escape, Ye Li hurriedly locked the door with the chain, and then went upstairs with his two children.
Just after going up one flight of stairs and turning a corner, he bumped into Qi Yuanchuan and his teammates.
"The zombies are chasing us, let's go!" Ye Li said to them.
"Give it to me," Qi Yuanchuan said without hesitation and carried Xiaomu over. Then the group quickly went upstairs and hid on the tenth floor. They moved heavy objects and blocked the door of the fire escape.
Qi Yuanchuan chose a room with two doors to stay in, which was the room where Ye Li had pushed Qi Yuanchuan away before.
The door of the room was locked.
The sunlight shines into the room through the dusty glass windows, making it less dark.
"Mom!" Xiaomu was in Qi Yuanchuan's arms, reaching out to grab Ye Li.
Ye Li quickly brought her son Xiao Mu over and whispered, "You promised Mom that you wouldn't take off the blindfold."
"Yeah," Xiaomu nodded obediently.
"What's going on? Why are you running away?"
Ye Li looked at Qi Yuanchuan and said, "I didn't run away. I just went to pick up my child."
Qi Yuanchuan and his teammates looked at Ye Li. She had a firm gaze and was so protective of her child that it was hard to blame her.
"Don't do this again next time. What if we've already left? What are you going to do?"
Ye Li said: "I believe you will not leave."
Ye Li avoided the topic of why she left Qi Yuanchuan and others. Although she felt very sorry for doing so, she felt that she did the right thing.
Always leave a way out. In the end times, when supplies are so scarce, a safe house is a piece of fat meat for people like them, and they will fight for it whenever they see it.
In the end times, the only place Ye Li can rely on is this safe house. The safe house must continue to be safe, otherwise what kind of environment will Xiaomu and Xixi grow up in?
This is her selfish desire as a mother.
"Let's hide here for a while and leave after the zombies disperse."
Two hours later, Qi Yuanchuan sent his teammates to check the situation.
"Mom, can I take off the blindfold?" Xixi asked quietly in Ye Li's ear.
"No," Ye Li replied gently, "Let's play a game. Mommy is going to give you a surprise. Before you arrive, you can't take off the blindfold, otherwise the surprise will run away."
"Then we won't pick them," Xiaomu and Xixi covered their eyes respectively, looking innocent and naive, but they were very thin, which made people feel distressed.
Qi Yuanchuan looked at the mother and her two children, took out a cigarette from his pocket and started to smoke, but when he remembered the child was there, he put it back.
The teammates are back from scouting.
"The zombies seem to have left. I didn't see them."
"Take advantage of this opportunity and leave quickly," Qi Yuanchuan walked up to Ye Li and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me the child."
"Thank you," Ye Li trusted him and let him hold Xiaomu. Although Xiaomu and Xixi were not very heavy, holding two of them at the same time still consumed a lot of her energy.
In order to avoid being unable to run later, it is better to let Qi Yuanchuan hold him.
After all, considering Qi Yuanchuan's physique, Xiaomu's weight is really nothing.
