Chapter 21: Collecting Supplies (2)



There are very few people who dare to go out to look for things now. After all, the apocalypse has only started for 4 days, and most people have some food stored in their homes. Li Xue is very satisfied with this situation, so that she can collect supplies quietly by herself without competing with others.

This commercial street is all about clothing and home furnishings, so there are basically no people on the street, and there are not even a few zombies. This commercial street was robbed very smoothly, and various luxury brand clothing, gold and silver jewelry, diamond jewelry, brand-name cosmetics, and even baking tools in a dessert shop and all the desserts in the refrigerator were collected. Li Xue looked at her achievements, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed, and she sighed in her heart, it turns out that these things are women's true love no matter what period!

Going forward, passing by a large home furnishing store, Li Xue, who had already walked past, suddenly thought of the small house in the space. After this upgrade, the small house has become a small house with two floors. There are several rooms upstairs and downstairs, all of which have only the most basic beds and cabinets, and the style is old-fashioned. Li Xue could not live in the space for a long time, so she never thought about renovating it, and just used it as it was. But now she happened to run into it, so she might as well collect it. If the things are left here, they will be ruined by zombies sooner or later.

Use the same method - open the door, close the door, find the power and turn it off, and start! After finishing the preparations, Li Xue started to stroll around the store and pick out the styles she liked. After all, these things are not like food and clothing, and there is no use if there are too many. When she saw something she liked or thought her son would like, she put it away. As she put it away, she was impressed by the store owner's business sense. Look at how thoughtful the one-stop service is. From furniture to home textiles to home appliances, one-stop shopping is so convenient! It's hard not to be tempted.

After finally putting away everything she liked, Li Xue looked at the empty space in the store and was a little bit unbelievable. She actually put away so many things! It seems that this owner is not only good at business, but also has good taste and taste! Haha!

When she came out of the home furnishing store, Li Xue looked at the sky, took out her mobile phone to check the time, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. (Although this phone has lost its communication function, it is still good for checking time and playing games. As for the possibility of running out of power in the future, Li Xue patted the solar generator in the space and said that it was not a problem!) No wonder she was so hungry, she was so busy shopping, oh, no, she was busy collecting, that she completely forgot the time.

After thinking about it, she went back to the store, took out biscuits and mineral water from the space, and sat on the sofa in the store to eat. She pulled out the map and studied it. This street is almost like this, and there is no need to continue. So she patted the biscuit crumbs on her hands, put the map back into the space, put a few packets of instant noodles and other light and conspicuous food in her backpack, and planned to go back to the hotel.

The way back was smoother than the way here. Except for a few zombies blocking the way, it was basically unobstructed. Back to the third floor of the hotel, they locked the door to the passage. Although there were few people staying in this hotel, it did not mean that there were only three of them. It would be troublesome if someone ran in. As

soon as they reached the door, it opened from the inside. Haohao jumped up happily, "Mom, why did you take so long?" Li Xue bent down and picked up Haohao, "How did you know that mom was back?" "Brother Xiaoye saw you back on the balcony." After saying that, she looked at Xiaoye with a half-smile, which made Xiaoye feel cold and glared back at him, this naughty child!

Li Xue did not notice their "eye contact" and took food out of the space under the cover of her backpack. When Haohao saw the beautifully packaged desserts and cakes, he immediately jumped up and grabbed them with his hands, not remembering that the "communication" with Xiaoye was not over yet. Xiao Ye looked at the cakes and desserts that were taken out of the bulging bag, but the cream was still intact, and then looked at Li Xue who was looking at Hao Hao with a doting look, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Li Xue didn't notice Xiao Ye's expression and invited him to eat together. Xiao Ye took a piece of bread and ate it. It was delicious! Suddenly she remembered: "Sister, when you were on the first floor, did you find anyone else?"

Li Xue thought for a while: "No one, but there were a few zombies. What's wrong? Are you looking for someone?"

Xiao Ye had a bad feeling in her heart: "Sister, is there really no one? Think about it carefully."

"Really no one, I was afraid that some zombies would be missed, so I went around both floors on purpose, but there was really no one. What, does the person you are looking for live downstairs?" Li Xue suddenly remembered Xiao Ye's friend Qiangzi who brought him to work in the hotel, and she thought that something bad was going to happen.

Xiao Ye's face turned pale, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Have you found the...zombie...in the security uniform?"

Li Xue thought for a moment, and her face became a little solemn. "Xiao Ye, don't be too sad. Life and death are determined by fate. You can't control it."

Xiao Ye understood immediately after hearing her words. There were only two security guards on night shift in this hotel. That night, only Qiangzi was on duty, and the other security guard asked for leave and didn't come. So he was sure that it was Qiangzi. Thinking of Qiangzi's kindness to her, Xiao Ye's tears could not stop flowing, and the half-eaten bread in her hand was tightly clenched into a small ball. Li Xue panicked when she saw him like this. She was not afraid of others crying loudly, but she couldn't stand such silent tears. Only when you are really heartbroken will you be unable to make a sound, and she has never known how to comfort others.

When Haohao saw Xiaoye crying, he dropped the cake in his hand, grabbed a box of paper and ran towards Xiaoye, taking out paper to wipe Xiaoye's tears and coaxing her: "Brother Xiaoye, don't cry, I'll give you all the cake, don't cry." As he spoke, he started to cry.

Xiaoye looked at Haohao's tearful face, hugged him, buried his head in Haohao's small chest, and cried out: "No one will be kind to me anymore..." Li Xue looked at Xiaoye's painful face and couldn't help but tears.

Suddenly, Xiaoye pushed Haohao towards Li Xue and ran out of the door like crazy. Li Xue quickly hugged Haohao and followed him, fearing that he would get into trouble. Xiao Ye ran to the emergency passage but found that the door was locked and the elevator stopped. Just as she was about to knock the door of the emergency passage open, Li Xue caught up with her, put Hao Hao down, and slapped Xiao Ye in the face.

"What are you crazy about? Can you save your brother Qiangzi's life like this?"

Xiao Ye seemed to be stunned by Li Xue's slap, and stood in front of the door with red eyes, motionless. Li Xue sighed, and couldn't help thinking in her heart, "More people means more trouble." She took out the key, opened the door, picked up Hao Hao and walked out the door. Seeing that he was still standing there, she said, "Let's go! Let's send your brother Qiangzi off!" After that, she walked out the door first. Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, wiped her tears quickly, and followed Li Xue.

Qiangzi's corpse, which had turned into a zombie, was placed on a pile of wood (in the space) by Li Xue. Li Xue got a bucket of gasoline from somewhere and handed it to Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye took it with shaking hands and poured gasoline on Qiangzi's body. Looking at Qiangzi's purple face that was no longer vivid and even a little scary, the hand holding the lighter couldn't hold it down, and his tears fell again. Li Xue hugged Hao Hao and patted his shoulder, "Light it up, let Qiangzi go with peace of mind!"

Xiao Ye's hands were shaking badly, but he finally gritted his teeth and lit the fire. The flames shot up high and immediately submerged Qiangzi's body. Xiaoye couldn't hold back any longer and fell to the ground crying. In the light of the fire, it seemed as if she saw the little Qiangzi brother smiling at the younger him in the orphanage, calling "Xiaoyezi" again and again...

Li Xue looked at Xiaoye who was crying so hard, and then looked at Haohao who was in his arms wiping Xiaoye's tears. She had a headache. The current situation was too far away from her original plan.
