Chapter 126 Returning Home, A Small Village in the Apocalypse
The sadness of the feather fan did not last long, because after Grandma Liu, more than a dozen walking corpses emerged from various corners of the village.
Among them were elderly men and women, elementary school students, and even a few preschool children.
The children were all unfamiliar faces to her, but the old men and women were people she remembered.
Feather Fan personally killed each of the zombies, because she knew that they were no longer human and no longer possessed human memories and emotions.
If they are allowed to live, they might harm even more people in the village.
As she slayed the zombies, the gates of every courtyard in the village were tightly shut, and not a single person opened their door to peek out.
Not even a wisp of smoke was coming out of the chimneys on the roofs of any of the houses.
For a moment, Yu Shan even wondered if everyone in the village had died.
The moment this thought crossed her mind, she panicked terribly.
But she persisted, dragging all the zombies whose necks she had snapped to a nearby bamboo grove, digging a deep pit, and burying them all together.
This was the last thing she could do for them.
After burying the walking corpses, she walked with difficulty, step by step, to the gate of her own yard.
She raised her hand and pushed, but the courtyard gate wouldn't open. It must have been locked from the inside, but it's also possible that the owner locked the gate from the outside and then left the village.
Her heart pounded again.
Does the fact that she could lock the courtyard door mean that her grandparents might still be alive?
She took a few steps back, ran, and then climbed over her own yard wall.
Her legs were longer than those of children her age from a young age. When she left the village, she was already eleven years old, and by then she was already capable of climbing over walls.
Looking out from the courtyard wall, the courtyard was very quiet, and the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard had grown wildly into weeds and wildflowers.
It looks like it hasn't been taken care of in a long time.
Her heart sank; her grandparents must have left the village.
But at their age, their chances of survival are even slimmer if they leave the village.
After all, the village is sparsely populated, and relatively speaking, there are fewer zombies.
Moreover, there are crops in the village, so people are unlikely to starve to death.
Although she was fairly certain that her grandparents were not around, she still called out, "Grandpa, Grandma, your little fan is back!"
No one answered, so she called out again. Just as she was about to climb over the wall and leave to find her parents in the city, a noise suddenly came from the cellar.
It sounded like a bowl or plate being dropped and shattered on the floor.
Yu Shan leaped directly off the wall, ignoring the pain in her feet from the weight, and ran quickly to the cellar entrance.
She pounded on the door, completely disregarding the fact that this action might attract more zombies.
"Grandpa and Grandma, it's me, Little Fan. Are you inside?" she called out eagerly.
With a loud bang, the cellar door was pulled open from the inside.
Grandma rushed out first, hugged her tightly, her hands trembling as she touched her face, crying as she said:
"Little fan, Grandma's little fan, am I dreaming? You're still alive?"
Waaaaah! They all say the city is overrun with zombies, and all the living people have been eaten.
Your grandfather and I wanted to go to the city, but all the cars in the village had been stolen, and there were zombies everywhere along the way, so we couldn't get through.
I'm also afraid that if we really get to the city, I'll cause you more trouble, so I can only hide in the cellar and take it one day at a time."
