Chapter 12: The End of the World



On December 20, 2015, the greatest disaster in human history struck.

At dawn, the sky was blood red, and many people who didn't know the truth went out of their homes to watch this strange astronomical phenomenon. However, these curious people still don't know what kind of disaster is behind this strange phenomenon.

At dawn, many people found that someone in their family began to have a rapid fever. There were old people, children, and strong young people.

Their situations were similar. Their body temperatures rose rapidly, and their bodies quickly turned red due to the high temperature. As the body temperature rose, the patients began to go crazy and hurt people or smash things. They were so strong that others couldn't stop them at all.

Many people thought of looking for the emergency center, but found that the phone was always busy.

Then they watched the patients go crazy and were helpless. Gradually, the patient seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he fell down with a "thump". The family members came forward to help the patient up, and found that the patient's body temperature began to drop, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, they soon discovered that the speed of cooling was as fast as the speed of fever.

Soon the patient's body was cold, and many people trembled and probed the patient's nose, but there was no breath! The more professional ones began to measure the pulse and listen to the heartbeat, but there was nothing!

Everyone couldn't accept this fact at all. Just when they were about to cry out, they found that the person who had just died began to move! Before they recovered from the series of changes, they heard a scream. The "resurrected" person hugged the person closest to him and started biting him. The bitten person struggled desperately, but found that he could not get rid of him.

When the others saw this, they rushed forward to pull them apart, but they were scratched to varying degrees during the struggle. Some were accidentally injured by the people who helped to pull them apart, and some were scratched by the bitten people... And such things began to happen in every corner of the world.

At dawn, Li Xue sat up from the bed, looked at Haohao who was sleeping with a red face beside her, and reached out to rub his soft hair. Seeing Haohao squinting his eyes and hiding his head in the quilt, with no intention of waking up, I let him do it. It would be very rare to have such a peaceful sleep in the future.

At this time, a scream came from the corridor outside the door, which scared Haohao awake, and the silence of the hotel seemed to be broken with the scream.

Listening to the noisy noise outside the door, Haohao looked at Li Xue in a daze: "Mom, what happened?"

Li Xue frowned and patted Haohao's face gently, saying: "It's okay, listen to mom, no matter what happens outside, don't open the door. Don't open the door if someone knocks, understand?"

Haohao said nervously: "Are there bad guys outside? Mom, call the police!" "There are man-eating monsters outside, and the police can't come now, so we have to hide in the room and can't let the monsters find us. Don't open the door, understand?"

Li Xue tried her best to choose words that Haohao could understand to remind him. Children are very curious, and she didn't want to let Haohao get hurt due to carelessness. Haohao looked at his mother's serious expression. Although he didn't know what had happened, he kept his mother's words in mind.

Li Xue was still worried. She stood up and walked to the door. She looked out through the peephole. The corridor seemed to have returned to peace after the noise just now. She opened the door to check without hesitation.

Looking at the still locked door, she thought about it, turned around and pushed out the low cabinet in the room to prop up the door. Living in a hotel is still not very safe. This door is obviously not strong enough. But this is the only way now. Anyway, she won't stay here for too long.

She turned and walked to the balcony. Through the balcony, she saw the scene on the street.

Her room was on the third floor of the hotel, so she could clearly see everything happening on the street.

The streets were in a mess. On the streets that used to be bustling, almost no one dared to go out for a stroll now, because there were monsters that could eat people wandering on the streets. People in the apocalypse called them "zombies". People had a mentality of avoiding harm and pursuing profit. They all closed the doors and windows and hid at home. They didn't dare to breathe, for fear of attracting zombies.

Occasionally, there would be one or two brave people running out from a corner, and they would be chased by several zombies immediately. If they were lucky, they could successfully escape with the advantage of speed. If they were unfortunately surrounded by zombies, they would only end up being eaten by the zombies. Some people didn't even have the chance to scream, and were quickly gnawed by the zombies until only a skeleton was left.

In fact, the zombies at this time did not have much ability. They had no vision and mainly relied on hearing and smell. Their joints were stiff and their movements were slow. As long as they were not surrounded, they could basically get away. If everyone took the opportunity to escape at this time, many people could escape the city safely.

Everyone firmly believed that the government would send troops to rescue them. It was not until many people could not bear it anymore that they realized that no one came to rescue them. By that time, the best opportunity to escape the city had been missed.

After a period of time, the zombies began to evolve at the speed of normal adult humans, and their hearing and smell were very sharp. Many people lost their lives easily due to lack of food and water and physical exhaustion.

Li Xue frowned as she watched another person who failed to break out. The zombies bit his neck. The man screamed and struggled desperately, but it was useless. Soon, the nearby zombies surrounded him. His upper body was blocked by the zombies, and his two legs were struggling weakly. Soon, he died, and only bright red blood flowed all over the ground.

To be honest, Li Xue was afraid of zombies, very afraid. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person who had no ability to hunt zombies. In the end, she was eaten by zombies. She hated zombies as much as Liu Ming and Gao Yun, but she was more afraid of zombies.

But she also knew that in this life, if she didn't become stronger, she would not only be unable to take revenge, but she might not even be able to protect her son, so she had to force herself to become stronger.

"Mom!" Haohao came to the balcony without knowing when, but his face turned pale with fear at the scene on the street. He grabbed his mother's hand and asked with a trembling voice: "Is that the monster you said? Do they really eat people?"

Li Xue immediately covered Haohao's eyes with her hands and carried him back to the room. Feeling the little body in her arms shaking constantly, Li Xue thought that this bloody scene would scare him for a long time. She let go of the hand covering Haohao, pulled Haohao into her arms, kissed his head, and whispered: "Haohao, are you scared?"

Haohao nodded with a pale face. The scene just now was really too terrifying.

"Don't be afraid, son. Mom is here. Mom won't let those monsters hurt you. Don't be afraid. Follow Mom at all times. Do you understand?" Li Xue patted Haohao's back and said while comforting him: "Mom will definitely protect you. Believe in Mom."

Haohao looked up at his mother, nodded, and said: "Mom, I'm not afraid. I will protect you when I grow up."

Li Xue hugged Haohao tightly and said: "Okay, Mom will wait for you to grow up and protect Mom.
