Chapter 9: Trying Your Luck
While Chen Qianxing and Yang Lei were arguing, in the bedroom of the suite, Luo Yu hugged his daughter in his arms and leaned weakly against the head of the bed.
She hadn't eaten anything for two days.
There was limited food in the house, and what was given to her was even more limited. In the past few days, she had only received a small packet of biscuits.
Luo Yu left the only pack of biscuits to his daughter.
At first, my stomach was growling with hunger and I could only drink water to relieve the hunger.
Now she seemed to be too hungry. Her stomach stopped growling, but her vision was getting darker and darker.
Ten-year-old Luo Yiyi blinked her dark eyes and looked out the window. Suddenly, she sniffed in confusion.
As if she couldn't believe it, she broke free from Luo Yu's arms, walked to the window and sniffed carefully again.
Luo Yu called him weakly.
"Yiyi, don't run around."
Luo Yiyi ran back and whispered in Luo Yu's ear, "Mom, I smell hot pot."
Luo Yu looked out the window. It was pitch black outside, with only a few spots of light.
She touched Luo Yiyi's head with heartache. She didn't expect that her daughter was hallucinating due to hunger.
"Be good, when we are rescued, mommy will take you to eat hot pot. You can eat whatever you want."
Luo Yiyi shook his head vigorously.
"No, Mom, it really smells like hot pot!"
Luo Yu didn't have the energy to argue with her anymore: "Mom is a little sleepy and wants to sleep for a while. You be good and don't run around, okay?"
Luo Yiyi had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.
When it was late at night and everyone in the room had fallen asleep, Luo Yiyi, who was sleeping in the innermost room, suddenly opened his eyes.
She rolled her eyes, carefully pulled away Luo Yu's hand on her, and then sneaked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom.
Directly opposite the bed in the master bedroom is an arc-shaped panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. Only the window at the very edge can be opened and closed, but the handle is too high for Luo Yiyi to reach.
She brought a chair, stood on it, and tried to tiptoe, successfully opening the window a crack.
The cool night wind rushed into the room. Luo Yiyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
However, the faint aroma of hot pot disappeared, and only the unpleasant smell of blood filled the air.
Luo Yiyi immediately lowered his head in disappointment and lay on the windowsill in a daze.
Her stomach also made a rumbling sound.
In fact, she was also very hungry, but she didn't dare to say it because her mother had given all the food to her, and she didn't want to make her mother worry anymore.
The monster downstairs was still wandering around aimlessly. Luo Yiyi stared at it for a long time, then turned her head and her eyes fell on another floor-to-ceiling window not far from her.
When she first escaped into the hotel, she witnessed Yang Lei and his men trying to break in.
After hiding in this suite, several people also observed from here.
However, from beginning to end, the floor-to-ceiling window was tightly covered by heavy curtains, and not even a trace of light came through.
Luo Yiyi touched his rumbling stomach with a worried look on his face. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he caught a glimpse of the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window opposite him moving.
A slender, white hand pushed aside the curtains, threw something downstairs, and quickly took it back.
Luo Yiyi's eyes suddenly widened.
After Yan Chu threw the ashtray down, he stared at the situation below through the window.
For some reason, several zombies that had gathered together downstairs staggered away. Her ashtray unfortunately fell on the muddy ground among the zombies, making a muffled "bang" sound.
It failed.
Yan Chu closed the window with some disappointment.
Although the place where he lives is relatively safe, Yan Chu will only stay here for a month at most.
After all, supplies are limited, and she will have to escape from here sooner or later.
So when there are a lot of zombies gathered downstairs, she will try to throw heavy objects downstairs, trying to kill one or two of them.
It turns out that this trick is quite effective. Yan Chu was lucky enough to pick up a few leaks and has already accumulated three lottery tickets.
On the other side, Luo Yiyi blinked, closed the window, and slipped back into bed to continue sleeping.
Luo Yu was awakened by her movement and habitually pulled his own quilt over Luo Yiyi's slightly cold body: "What have you been doing?"
Luo Yiyi replied in a low voice: "Toilet."
Luo Yu didn't think much about it and patted her back: "Well, go to sleep."
The next day, the sleepy Luo Yiyi was awakened by a noisy sound.
She rubbed her eyes and climbed out of bed. When she walked to the door of the master bedroom, she heard Chen Qianxing's firm words outside.
"If we don't leave now, everyone will die!"
Luo Yiyi scratched his head, walked to Luo Yu in a daze and grabbed her hand.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Yang Lei's face turned ashen, but he could no longer refute Chen Qianxing in the condescending manner as before.
Things are different now. If two days ago, most people were on his side, then two days later, the camp has quietly changed.
Everyone has been hungry for several days, and many people have thought that instead of starving to death, it is better to fight to the death and try to leave here.
Chen Qianxing was the first to raise his right hand: "Who is willing to follow me?"
Dozens of hands were raised in the room.
Everyone looked at each other, and several more hands were raised.
There are still a few who are hesitant and unsure about what to do.
Li Guofeng raised his hand halfway, but found that Yang Lei was staring at him with a dark face, so he put his hand down awkwardly.
Luo Yiyi turned to look at Luo Yu beside him, and Luo Yu also raised his hand.
"Mother……?"
Luo Yiyi was a little surprised.
Luo Yu was in poor health to begin with, and after being hungry for so long, he became even weaker, and even his walking was a little unsteady.
Is she sure she wants to run away with him?
Luo Yu noticed her uneasiness and gently touched her head: "Don't worry, Yiyi, Mom will never let you starve to death."
This sentence happened to be heard by Yang Lei. He spat: "Two encumbrances, and you still have the nerve to say that."
The people around looked at Luo Yu with a subtle look.
After all, Luo Yu looked like she couldn't run, and she was carrying a child. If she encountered any danger, wouldn't we have to save her?
Luo Yu's face froze slightly, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chen Qianxing quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "We are all companions who have been through life and death together. Don't say such things."
Yang Lei whistled and said sarcastically, "Oh, you're so protective of them. I remember that wasn't your wife or daughter? What? You want to take over?"
Chen Qianxing's face darkened: "Yang Lei, be careful with your words!"
Yang Lei slammed the table, stood up, grabbed Chen Qianxing by the collar, and glared at him fiercely:
"Do you fucking think I'm a vegetarian? I've been putting up with you for so long! Don't be so shameless!"
The tension between the two was on the verge of breaking out, and the others, seeing that the situation was not good, rushed forward and forcibly pulled the two apart.
