Chapter 23 Thank you for feeding us

It's morning.

Zhao Yunduo pretended to carry a travel bag, which only contained two sets of clothes and was very light.

In contrast, the little girls each carried a schoolbag, which didn't look heavy, but it seemed heavy when they walked.

Zhao Yunduo didn't have a heart of a saint. She helped the little girl carry her backpack. She had no worries about food and clothing, but she was willing to go with them. In a way, she was already very saintly. Besides, the little girl's mother was willing to let the little girl carry a heavy backpack, so there was no need for her, a stranger, to intervene and show kindness.

They did not walk on the road, but walked on the sidewalks as they did before the apocalypse. Although there were still scattered zombies, it was better than the stagnant cars on the road. When walking past a car, who knows if a zombie will suddenly reach out from the car window and scratch you.

The little girl was jumping up and down in front, then she came back and said to Zhao Yunduo, "Sister! My name is Yaoyao, my mother's name is Chengzi, what's your name?"

Before Zhao Yunduo opened her mouth, she heard the little girl's mother say, "My name is Zhou Micheng, and the child's father has always called me Chengzi, so Yaoyao has always thought my name is Chengzi."

"Sister Orange." Zhao Yunduo was not ambiguous at all and directly called Zhou Micheng sister. She was older than him, so it was only right for him to call her sister.

"My name is Zhao Yunduo."

"Sister Yun Duo!"

After the three of them walked out of the residential area, they saw fewer zombies. Zhou Micheng even carefully told Zhao Yunduo about the zombies' weaknesses that he knew.

"There's a soft skull behind the zombie's head. Aim there and hit it and it will die."

Zhao Yunduo nodded.

The few times she fought zombies, she used the mace passed to her by Shen Linglan. The mace had many protruding spikes on it. With one hit, the zombie's head would be rotted apart. She had no idea what weaknesses or cartilage there were.

But it's always good to know more.

"Thank you."

The weapon Zhou Micheng uses is a long iron stick, but when hitting a zombie, one needs to be very ruthless to knock it down with one stick.

Thinking of the weapons piled up in one corner of his space, Zhao Yunduo suddenly asked, "Sister Chengzi, do you have any weapons that you are more comfortable with?"

Before Zhou Micheng could answer, Yaoyao interrupted and said, "Mom can use a gun!"

This surprised Zhao Yunduo.

Because before the end of the world, legal citizens were not good at using guns, and even the police mostly used electric batons.

"That gun..." Zhou Micheng did not reveal too much about his identity before the apocalypse, but only said, "When I was saving the child's father, I used up all the bullets, and it became a useless gun, so I just threw it away."

After she finished speaking, she smiled calmly again, and did not mention at all that she wanted to ask Zhao Yunduo for the gun, even though she saw Zhao Yunduo trying out the gun before they set off.

Zhao Yunduo naturally couldn't just give Zhou Micheng a gun. First, they were not familiar with each other. Second, a gun could kill someone with one shot. If Zhou Micheng was good at using a gun, and the two suddenly turned against each other and started a gunfight, Zhao Yunduo would naturally be at a disadvantage.

After listening to Zhou Micheng's words, she just nodded and said, "I have machetes, daggers, hatchets, maces... They are all much better than your steel stick. Do you want to change one?"

Zhou Micheng just shook his head. "Weapons are very valuable nowadays. I can use a steel stick once I get used to it."

She paused and then said, "But, can you give Yaoyao a dagger? I want her to be able to use it to defend herself."

Zhao Yunduo did not hesitate and took out a sharpened dagger from her bag and gave it to Yaoyao.

Yaoyao was very happy to get the new toy, as if she had got a doll before the end of the world.

Zhou Micheng felt sad, but he still touched Yaoyao's head and asked Yaoyao to thank Zhao Yunduo with him.

At noon, they had bypassed a large shopping mall and walked onto a small path, avoiding the zombies in groups of two. Zhao Yunduo reached into her backpack and groped around, pretending to take food out of the bag, but in fact she was taking food from the space.

Zhao Yunduo took out a box of milk, three servings of self-heating rice and two bottles of Coke from her bag.

"Wow!"

After the self-heating rice is heated, it is almost the same as the boxed lunch cooked on the spot, with good color, aroma and taste.

Zhao Yunduo recalled that when Shen Linglan was stuffing her with self-heating rice, she said that this was the most expensive self-heating rice on the market, and she didn't know how it was different from ordinary self-heating rice.

Now smell the perfectly fat and lean pork belly and the soft and glutinous green beans mixed with rice, it is so delicious that it will make your teeth fall out.

Rao often eats the meals cooked by Aunt Liu, and Zhao Yunduo also praises this box of self-heating rice. Looking at Zhou Micheng and Yaoyao, they haven't eaten such delicious and hot meals for a long time. Yaoyao couldn't hide her thoughts and kept wow while eating, which made Zhao Yunduo laugh.

Zhao Yunduo also quietly sent a message to Shen Linglan: [Self-heating rice, full marks! ]

After the three of them finished eating, Zhou Micheng dug a hole and buried all the empty lunch boxes in it. One reason was to prevent others from discovering that there were people there, and the other was to prevent others from discovering that there were still people eating.

In the end times, it is very important to hide all traces of survival.

But despite this, when they found a drugstore to rest that night, they actually heard the sound of the drugstore's glass door being rubbed and pried open.

Zhou Micheng opened his eyes immediately and exchanged glances with Zhao Yunduo who was on guard. They both looked towards the door at the same time without making any sound.

They put a U-shaped lock on the inside of the door, which cannot be opened with a knife unless special equipment is used to pry it open.

The people outside the door pried it open for a long time, but I don't know if they gave up because they couldn't pry it open, or if a zombie came and scared them away, but they finally stopped in the second half of the night.

In the second half of the night it was Zhou Micheng's turn to keep watch. Zhao Yunduo thought she would be too worried to fall asleep, but she ended up sleeping until dawn.

Yaoyao was reading a book, while Zhou Micheng was looking at Yaoyao, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Yunduo saw that it was bright outside the window and the sun was shining in, and he knew in his heart that it must be late.

"Sorry, I slept late..." She touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zhou Micheng shaking her head to indicate that she was fine, he handed her a bottle of mineral water and said, "Drink some water."

Zhao Yunduo quickly washed up, drank a sip of water, reached into her bag and took out some food.

After Zhao Yunduo took out the food, he realized belatedly that it was fortunate that they did not search his bag while he was asleep, otherwise they would have discovered that there was no food in the bag at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunduo felt a little more favorable towards them and even gave Yaoyao a bag of candy.

Zhou Micheng was still thanking me when she received the food. She also said with emotion: "Before I met you, we were always hungry. I didn't expect to be able to eat sandwiches and drink milk now. Thank you so much."

Yaoyao also grinned and said thank you, sister.
