Compared with her parents, Ying Xixi seems much calmer.
The whole family huddles together for warmth, and it seems that only in this way can they feel at ease.
The noise outside the window continued. Ying's father and mother wanted to sleep but didn't dare to.
The end of the world has come, and they dare not think too much about whether they will wake up again after closing their eyes and falling asleep.
Ying Xixi yawned, "Mom and Dad, go to sleep if you're tired. We're on high ground here, so even if it rains non-stop, we won't be flooded.
And although this rain looks scary, it is not corrosive and will not corrode the house. We are now very safe staying at home."
Seeing their daughter so calm, Ying's father and mother felt that their child had really grown up.
"Okay, Xixi, can you stay here with your parents?
It’s safer for us as a family to stay together.”
Ying's mother asked while holding her daughter's arm.
"Of course, Mom and Dad, you guys go to bed and I'll sleep here on the sofa."
Ying Xixi went to the closet and took out a thin quilt and placed it on the sofa.
Only then did Ying's father and mother go back to bed to continue resting.
Ying Xixi slept in a daze all night.
When she woke up again, the blood-red rain outside had not stopped.
It seems like it is going to turn the whole world upside down.
Ying Xixi sat up and glanced at her parents who were sleeping uneasily, then got up quietly and tried to open the door to go out.
This is the second floor, and what she can see outside the window is the wall. She wants to go to the top floor to see what's around her.
As soon as her hand touched the door handle, Ying's father's voice rang out.
"Xixi? You want to go out?"
Ying Xixi turned her head and saw that both Ying's father and mother had woken up and sat up.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to the top floor to check the surroundings. It should be morning now. It's been raining red all night."
"Xixi, wait for mom and dad, we'll go with you to take a look."
Ying's mother now wishes her husband and daughter were always by her side so that she can feel at ease.
The family of three went to the top floor.
Originally, the top floor was a rooftop terrace. Ying Xixi had previously hired workers to build a wall around the rooftop and install windows, turning it into an ordinary one-story building.
Standing here, you can look over the high wall and see the situation around the villa and in the direction of Beijing.
The sky was still blood red, but the red moon as big as a bowl that appeared last night was gone.
Ying Xixi took out a telescope from the space and looked around the villa.
When she looked, she actually saw two former humans who had turned into zombies staggering in the rain.
Judging from their clothes, they are security uniforms. They might be the two security guards who patrolled the community last night.
A hint of regret appeared in Ying Xixi's eyes.
She looked towards the direction of Beijing again, but it was foggy and she couldn't see clearly.
"Xixi, do you still have a telescope? Dad wants to take a look."
Ying's father asked.
Ying Xixi handed him the telescope and said, "Dad, take a look. Don't be afraid."
Ying's father uttered a sigh, "I, your father, am not afraid."
Ying's mother looked out the window worriedly, not wanting to or daring to look through the telescope, so she didn't say anything.
Ying's father also saw the two security guards in the rain through a telescope.
He was stunned. "Xixi, those two security guards... have become zombies?"
“Yes, they got caught in the rain and turned into zombies.
As long as the rain doesn't stop, we can't go out."
Ying Xixi took a deep breath, looked at her parents' solemn expressions, and changed the subject, "Mom and Dad, are you hungry? Let's go downstairs and cook.
If you feel bored, you can watch a movie with me later.
I downloaded a thousand movies, TV shows, and other things to help me kill time."
"Okay, let's go wash up first. Should we save water?"
Ying's father asked Ying Xixi.
"You don't need to save water deliberately, just use it normally. We are also very frugal in our water use."
Although Ying Xixi said so, Ying's father and mother still tried to save water.
In the current situation, they will feel uneasy if they don't save some money.
Ying Xixi simply washed up, turned on the generator, and then went to cook.
In order to dispel the fear of the end of the world at home, she even turned on the projector and played a movie.
The house is more lively when there are sounds.
Ying's father and mother tidied themselves up and started cooking with Ying Xixi.
The two of them originally thought of just eating something casually, but Ying Xixi still prepared one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a soup.
The family sat around the dining table, eating hot meals while the sound of a movie played.
If they ignored the house dyed red by the blood-red sky, they would just think it was an ordinary lunch.
But the most ordinary moments in the past have become extremely precious after the end of the world.
"Mom and Dad, just eat as much as you can and conserve your energy.
I have made a lot of preparations. We are in the suburbs, and there are fewer people, which means fewer zombies.
I can’t judge how long it will take, but at least we can live a normal life at home before all the zombies in Jingshi City run to the suburbs.
I have stockpiled a lot of supplies, enough for us to eat for several years.
Mom and Dad, don't be afraid. As long as we are together as a family, we have nothing to fear."
Ying Xixi earnestly comforted her parents who were obviously still a little dazed.
When Ying's mother heard this, her eyes became moist.
"Xixi, you're right. As long as our family stays together, we won't be afraid of anything."
Ying's father patted his wife's arm.
"I don't know how long it will take for the rain to stop, Xixi, if the rain stops, what should we do next?
Or should I just stay home? If the apocalypse breaks out in Beijing, the higher-ups should send people to search for survivors, right?
Are we just waiting for rescuers to come?"
Ying's father recalled the apocalyptic novels he had read.
“I don’t know when the rain will stop.
Dad, the apocalypse broke out not only in Beijing.
Strictly speaking, the apocalypse broke out across the globe in the early hours of the morning.
When the rain stops, survivors from all over the country will rush to Beijing.
Let's not act rashly for now, let's stay here and see what happens."
Ying Xixi's words made Ying's father and mother look solemn.
"Globally...this really is the end of the world..."
"Xixi, you... Well, forget it, Dad won't ask you too much, we have done what we need to do.
Dad has previously tactfully told our relatives to stock up on some things, but it depends on whether they listen or not."
"Mom and Dad, life and death are determined by fate. I've posted online before saying the world is coming. Some people believed it, some questioned it, and some just watched for fun.
I have done what I can. Those who believe in me will naturally escape this disaster. There is not much more I can do.
I don’t have a broad mind to care about the world, I just hope that our family can live well!
Once order is restored and someone builds a safe base, we can move in and start a new life."
