Chapter 7 They don’t have any children!

"I beg you, little sister, can you give us some food? Our children are starving to death."

As the woman was talking, she heard a thumping sound. Zhao Yunduo was still trying to figure out what the sound was when she said, "I'm kneeling down to kowtow to you. Please be kind and give us some food to eat and save our child."

Zhao Yunduo was so frightened that she held her breath and dared not reply.

The man came to harass her yesterday, and she thought that if she kept silent, he would give up.

Unexpectedly, someone else came today. It looked like they might have brought their family with them. They even knelt down and kowtowed to her for no apparent reason. It was horrible.

But why are most of the people in this building turned into zombies or ran away, but this family of three are still here?

Zhao Yunduo was confused and didn't say anything for a long time. The woman outside the door kowtowed for an unknown period of time, but got no response. Finally, she lost her patience. She cursed Zhao Yunduo for being heartless while leaving the room.

Zhao Yunduo listened to the noise outside by the door and found different footsteps, one light and one heavy. Zhao Yunduo guessed that there were two of them. He also heard them leave the third floor where Zhao Yunduo was, one after the other, and go upstairs. It seemed that they lived upstairs, but he didn't know whether it was the fourth or fifth floor.

After the door was clear, Zhao Yunduo breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she received a text message from Shen Linglan. Only then did she realize that dinner time had come again.

These past two days she ate and slept every day, and did not do any digestive exercise. She was not hungry or gluttonous at all. She asked Shen Linglan to bring her half a piece of ice watermelon and a portion of dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and pork, which contained twelve dumplings.

At the end of summer, there is nothing better than eating some ice watermelon.

Zhao Yunduo was scooping watermelon while chatting with Shen Linglan on the phone.

When Shen Linglan heard that there were other people living in this apartment, her hair stood on end. She said anxiously, "A man and a woman? It's over, Zhao Yunduo, you don't have the advantage in terms of numbers."

"I think so too!" Zhao Yunduo scooped a spoonful of watermelon core and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it. "That's why I didn't dare to open the door. They can't do anything to me! I have you to feed me, so I'm not afraid at all! At worst, I won't go out!"

Shen Linglan thought about it and decided that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

After she hung up the phone, she rushed straight to the supermarket.

Luckily, I got off work early today, just after eight o'clock, and the supermarket was not closed yet.

Shen Linglan bought a wooden stick as long as her arm, as well as chili water and a machete, and gave them all to Zhao Yunduo.

After buying a bunch of miscellaneous self-defense items, Shen Linglan told Zhao Yunduo with regret, "It's a pity that you can't buy an electric baton, the kind used by security guards that shocks people with a single press. You can't buy it in the supermarket. I'll search on Taobao tonight and see if I can get one for you!"

Shen Linglan returned to her apartment after shopping. As she was going up the stairs, she almost bumped into a woman and stopped herself.

"Ouch!" the woman cried out.

Shen Linglan looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, I almost bumped into you."

The woman was quite fat. Shen Linglan had braked in time and didn't hit her, but she frowned and warned Shen Linglan with a stern face, "You didn't even look at the road when you were talking on the phone?! This is a staircase! I'm trying to get pregnant now! If I get pregnant and the baby is gone after you hit me, I don't know how you'll compensate me!"

Shen Linglan had indeed buried her head just now. Although she didn't bump into her, she still apologized and said twice. Only then did the woman roll her eyes and walk away.

Meeting such an unreasonable woman, Shen Linglan felt a little depressed.

She didn't hang up the phone with Zhao Yunduo, and Zhao Yunduo on the other end also heard the woman's voice. She exclaimed, "This woman's voice sounds so familiar!"

Zhao Yunduo pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "It seems like the woman who just knocked on my door and cried to me that her child was starving to death!"

Shen Linglan stopped walking immediately. She looked down from the stairs and saw that the woman had indeed come down from the building. Could it be that the person who had climbed up to Zhao Yunduo was also a resident of this apartment?

She looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, but from what Zhao Yunduo had said, she was a loving mother who only cared about her child and was afraid that the child would starve to death. She had just said that she was trying to get pregnant...

Shen Linglan suddenly came up with an idea. She secretly took a photo of the woman on the stairs and sent a WeChat message to the landlord, saying that she had just accidentally bumped into the woman and was scolded by her. She wanted to ask if she had any children at home. She wanted to buy some nutritional supplements for the children as a gift to apologize to her.

The landlord quickly replied to her message, saying that the woman and the man in her family had been in City A for a long time and had been living here to treat infertility, but there had been no results for many years.

"So she has a bad temper and a mental problem. She has quarreled with many people in the building. It's okay. Just ignore her."

The landlord seemed to be very annoyed with that woman and directly told Shen Linglan that she didn't need to go to her house to pay compensation and apologize since she didn't hit anyone anyway.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Linglan immediately called Zhao Yunduo.

"They are infertile! They don't have any children at all! Duo'erbao, you should leave that house immediately and find a place to hide, otherwise I'm afraid they will try to rush into the house and harm you next time!"

Zhao Yunduo's heart immediately skipped a beat.

The fact that the woman kowtowed to her so many times outside showed that she was willing to put aside her pride for a meal, and that she was a rather extreme person. She even made up a lie about the child in order to gain her own sympathy.

Maybe next time I can put aside my humanity and kill Zhao Yunduo directly!

Zhao Yunduo responded while using her other hand to pack up the things that Shen Linglan had just handed to her. Just now she thought that Shen Linglan was spending money recklessly, but now holding the machete in her hand, she felt a little safer.

Zhao Yunduo put her ear against the door and heard no movement outside. Then she tiptoed and gently opened the door of the room. She stuck her head out and looked left and right carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, she closed the door quietly.

Just as she was about to slip downstairs and leave the apartment, she suddenly heard a ding-dong sound from upstairs, and the sound of a man and a woman talking. It felt like they were not far away from her, and the sound of their conversation sounded very clear.

"Is there really someone inside? Why didn't anyone open the door when we knocked for so long?"

This was a woman's voice. It did not have the pitiful tone of her kneeling and kowtowing outside the door just now. Instead, it sounded cold and mean, more like the voice on the other end of the phone when she spoke to Shen Linglan.

"I've already told you I'm pregnant, and you're still asking me. Do you doubt me?"

This is a man's voice, and it sounds more ferocious than a woman's.

Zhao Yunduo quickly retracted her steps. Like a snake, she slowly moved to the house on the left opposite her room. There was a small window in that house, through which she could see the situation outside her room.

The person who used to live here was also a young girl who worked from nine to five. Zhao Yunduo had met her several times.

Fortunately, she was a little girl. The house was clean and the quilts were neatly folded aside. There was not a single piece of food left. The refrigerator, which had been turned off long ago, still emitted a foul stench when opened, which made Zhao Yunduo quickly close the refrigerator door.

Apart from that, there was nothing wrong with the house. Zhao Yunduo calmed down and huddled by the small window, waiting for something to happen.

Since the couple was already infertile in their original world, they would most likely not be able to have children in this world. It was probably just to trick Zhao Yunduo into eating them.

Now they probably wanted to continue to test Zhao Yunduo's true strength, and maybe they were carrying weapons. Zhao Yunduo locked the door and hid beside the window, carefully sticking his head out to see what the couple was doing.

Shen Linglan didn't hang up the phone. She was also very nervous. Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, she was not sleepy at all. Her heartbeat was even faster and her palms were sweaty.
