"We hid at home for a week. Later, we heard the sound of the army outside and realized that the country had sent troops to rescue us." Chen Guodong's voice was a little low, and he seemed to be still immersed in memories.
"The army?" Chen Xiaoru was a little surprised. She didn't expect the army to react so quickly. After all, it had only been less than a month since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
"Yes, the army cleared the zombies in the city, and then we followed the army all the way here." Li Cuihua added, with a look of relief on her face for surviving the disaster.
"So, did your journey go smoothly?" Zhou Yuxuan asked weakly. Her voice was very soft, but it was particularly clear in the quiet room.
"Alas, it's not that easy!" Chen Guodong sighed and shook his head. "We encountered danger several times along the way. If it weren't for the army's protection, we would have died long ago."
"Yes, we saw with our own eyes many people being bitten to death by those monsters. It was so tragic." Li Cuihua said, and tears could not help but flow down. Her body trembled slightly, obviously remembering those terrible scenes.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoru gently held Li Cuihua's hand and silently comforted her.
"When we got here, we saw those monsters besieging the base, and then... then your mother and I were rescued by you." Chen Guodong's voice was full of gratitude.
"No wonder I didn't find you when I got home, and there were those monsters in the villa." Chen Xiaoru murmured to herself. She finally understood why when she returned to the villa, she found that the original owner's parents were missing, and there were zombies wandering around the house.
She originally thought that the original owner's parents had met with an accident, and her heart was filled with despair and pain, but she did not expect that they were rescued by the army and came to this base.
"Xiaoru, how did you and Yuxuan get here?" Chen Guodong asked with a hint of concern in his tone.
"I... I stayed in the classroom for a week. Then I was so hungry that I went out with some classmates to find something to eat," Chen Xiaoru recalled. "But they... they left me and ran away."
She did not tell her classmates about the evil deeds of pushing her towards the zombies, but just glossed over it, not wanting to worry her parents.
"Later, I met Yuxuan, and we went back to the house near the school together. We stayed there for almost a month before setting out here. When we got here, we saw the zombie siege." Chen Xiaoru narrated simply in a calm voice.
"You have suffered a lot." Li Cuihua looked at Chen Xiaoru with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's okay, Mom, we are fine, aren't we?" Chen Xiaoru smiled and comforted.
Zhou Yuxuan listened quietly, looking at Chen Xiaoru gently with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
