Chapter 21 A zombie wave is coming

One day had passed since Zhao Yunduo delivered the bread, and Zhao Yunduo had been keeping an eye on the situation in the milk tea shop.

Using a telescope, she discovered that the little girl's mother seemed to be able to sit up after drinking the milk, but she didn't know if she was too weak, so she still had some difficulty walking.

The next day, Zhao Yunduo sent two bottles of peanut milk, a box of vitamin tablets, a bag of beef jerky, and two apples.

While Zhao Yunduo was using the drone to lead the zombie away, the little girl put her hands in front of her mouth and shouted to Zhao Yunduo: "Thank you, beautiful sister!"

It has been more than a week since Zhao Yunduo traveled into the apocalypse. Apart from calling Shen Linglan every day, he has not communicated with anyone else. Now when he hears the little girl's voice, he finds it cute and kind.

"It's OK."

Zhao Yunduo replied to the little girl, but her voice was not loud and she didn't know if the little girl heard it.

Another day passed, and the little girl's mother actually came out. The first thing she did was to lift the curtain on the milk tea shop door and thank Zhao Yunduo.

She wrote two words on the paper: Thank you. Zhao Yunduo saw the words at a glance.

Zhao Yunduo did not write like her, but just nodded, indicating that it was a trivial matter and there was no need to be polite.

But then, the little girl's mother changed a new piece of paper and wrote on it:

[Can we talk? I have something important to tell you!]

Zhao Yunduo frowned when he saw these words. He was not sure about the purpose of the little girl's mother. However, Zhao Yunduo had a walkie-talkie at home. Shen Linglan bought it for Zhao Yunduo two days ago because she heard from her that she and the little girl were shouting at each other from a distance and she thought it was too dangerous.

Zhao Yunduo used a drone to set up a walkie-talkie and transmitted the message to the little girl's mother.

When the little girl's mother saw the intercom, she was not disappointed but relieved.

This made Zhao Yunduo feel that she really had something to tell him, rather than using "important things" as an excuse to trick him into going down.

The little girl's mother followed the instructions on the walkie-talkie, adjusted the channel, and successfully got through to Zhao Yunduo.

"Hello--"

Although there is still some hissing noise, it is much clearer than telepathy and much safer.

"Hello."

Zhao Yunduo said.

"Hello, thank you for bringing us food these past two days. You also saved our Yaoyao several times."

"You're welcome," Zhao Yunduo didn't want to waste time on such things as thanking him, "You just said there was something important, what was it?"

"There's a zombie wave coming from here soon."

"Zombie Tide?"

Zhao Yunduo frowned. She was unfamiliar with everything about the apocalypse and had no idea what the zombie tide meant.

The little girl's mother patiently explained, "We originally lived in the south of the city, but for some reason, a bunch of zombies gradually gathered in the south and are heading toward the city on a large scale. My husband said it was a zombie tide migration, and the destination might be the north."

This information made Zhao Yunduo's brows furrow even more tightly.

"So what's your destination?"

After the little girl's mother ate the food, she did not hide it from Zhao Yunduo and said bluntly: "We plan to take the zombies to the north of the city first. I heard that there is a shelter in the north of the city, and it is very large. We want to inform them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the zombie tide really goes there, I am afraid it will be difficult for humans to survive."

I didn’t expect that he was a Bodhisattva.

"What about your husband?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunduo's question made the little girl's mother silent for a moment, "When we were trapped in the zombie tide, it was my husband who risked his life to save us."

In the intercom, in addition to the sad words of the little girl's mother, there was also the voice of the little girl sobbing and calling for her father.

"Feel sorry……"

Zhao Yunduo didn't expect that the little girl's father had passed away.

"It's okay." The little girl's mother quickly calmed down and finally told Zhao Yunduo the most important thing, "The zombie tide is very close to here. I suggest you leave here with us, otherwise tens of thousands of zombies will come and eat up everything in this building one bite at a time."

Zhao Yunduo also fell silent.

After a while, she replied, "Thank you for your suggestion. I'll consider it."

"We plan to set out early tomorrow morning. If you have thought it over before then, you can come with us." The little girl's mother said, and as if to prevent Zhao Yunduo from thinking that she was coveting her food, she added, "Although we have no food, we have acquired a lot of means to fight zombies along the way. We can travel together."

"Well, I'll think about it."

Zhao Yunduo turned off the intercom and checked the time on her phone. It was just twelve o'clock, Shen Linglan's lunch break.

She called Shen Linglan without hesitation.

Shen Linglan had just opened her lunch box when she was stunned by the aroma of the food. "Are you hungry? Let's have fried tomato and eggs with rice today!"

Zhao Yunduo hummed, and absentmindedly scooped up the mushy fried tomatoes while biting the spoon and thinking about something.

Shen Linglan heard that Zhao Yunduo was in a different state than usual, so she asked her: "What's wrong? Could that mother and daughter be bad people again?"

"No..." Zhao Yunduo shook his head, and just then he remembered that Shen Linglan couldn't see his movements, and said: "They seem to be fine, but I'm a little confused..."

Zhao Yunduo told Shen Linglan about the conversation with the little girl's mother.

When Shen Linglan heard about the zombie tide, her heart tightened and she no longer enjoyed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Then...are you going to go with them? No, if you close the doors and windows tightly, the zombies won't find you, right?! After they leave, you'll be completely safe!"

Zhao Yunduo said that was not the case.

"There are probably some people around here, and the fat woman too. The zombies will probably stay around here for a while. Also, I think the zombies have a different sense of smell than normal people. I've been living here for a few days, and there have been zombies roaming around here, with a few more every day."

Zhao Yunduo had never gone out of the house, and the doors and windows were covered with blackout cloth. Even with such caution, she still attracted the attention of the zombies. She couldn't imagine whether she would be lucky enough to survive if thousands of zombies passed by her and started banging on the door and wall.

Just now, after she turned off the walkie-talkie, she picked up the telescope and looked towards the south of the city. About five kilometers away, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only see from a distance that there were sporadic zombies walking towards that place.

Zhao Yunduo guessed that the dark mass must be zombies.

According to the zombie's current pace, it is estimated that it will reach this area in three days.

"Then...what should we do?!"

Shen Linglan, who had never experienced the end of the world personally, had a blank mind and for a moment, she lost her composure.

"How about I quickly search the internet to see how those apocalyptic movies, TV series and novels are written, to see if other people have any solutions for dealing with the apocalypse!"

Shen Linglan's words made Zhao Yunduo burst out laughing, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

"I've decided to go with them!" Zhao Yunduo bit the spoon and said solemnly, "Lu Xun once said that it is better to stand up and seek life than to sit and wait for death!"

Shen Linglan: "Did Lu Xun really say that..."

But it doesn't matter. Although Shen Linglan doesn't want Zhao Yunduo to leave the safe and protected house and doesn't want Zhao Yunduo to go out and take risks, she respects every decision Zhao Yunduo makes and believes in her every feeling and guess.

"Since we're leaving tomorrow morning, I'll prepare some supplies for you tonight!"
