Chapter 17 Subsequent Plans

But speaking of going home, both of them knew that they would not stay at home for too long.

One was that they were worried that the group would come back, and the other was that they would have difficulty in moving after the zombie outbreak in the community.

Their original plan was to stay at home for about a week, and now four days have passed.

They immediately decided to leave the hotel tomorrow and make further plans after returning home.

Chen Qingqing did not specifically tell Xiaoling about this.

Although Xiaoling had behaved very well in various ways in the past two days, Chen Qingqing had been deceived many times by people who seemed gentle and friendly on the surface.

You can't know a person's heart by his face.

She didn't trust anyone except her family.

Before going home, Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo checked the outside world's news through TV programs and mobile phones, various forums, and news software.

Information about the serious spread of the virus will be deleted as soon as it appears, so they cannot learn about the virus, but fortunately other information can still be obtained.

For example, the roads on the way home and leaving H City are not congested, the hospital has stopped accepting ordinary patients due to the outbreak of virus infection, and the supermarket has been completely closed.

At present, what makes Chen Qingqing feel at ease is that this information is very similar to her experience in her previous life.

After observing through the window, Chen Qingqing ensured that the area around the hotel was still safe, and the family went to the back kitchen to order food, take a shower and go to bed as usual.

They started packing early the next morning. The trunk of the car was enough to hold five or six large backpacks, which were filled with food, water and medicine that could be taken at hand. Even if someone paid special attention to them, they would not think that they were taking things from space. After preparing their things, they planned to leave quietly.

As a result, they ran into Xiaoling just after going downstairs.

Xiaoling looked at the large and small bags in their hands, was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were leaving.

Chen Qingqing made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Xiaoling immediately pursed her lips.

She glanced at Xiaohuan, who was ignorant of the world. She had become much more familiar with Xiaohuan in the past few days. Xiaohuan even called her Aunt Xiaoling.

Maybe if she begged Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan acted coquettishly with Sister Chen... She was so soft-hearted, maybe she would take her with her?

She struggled for a moment, but still did not do it.

She looked up at Chen Qingqing pleadingly and asked in a low voice: "Sister Chen, can I go with you..."

"I really can do anything, and I don't eat much..."

Chen Qingqing looked at her quietly and shook her head.

"I left your things in the room, remember to hide them."

Xiaoling nodded gently, and finally did not stop them or make a sound.

She silently made way, the family walked out of the elevator, and she got on the elevator.

The elevator door closed slowly, and she watched the family's backs disappear into the distance.

Xiaoling came to room 203 with breakfast, put the things in her hand on the shelf, wiped her tears, swiped the room card to open the door and walked in.

There were two mountaineering bags and a waist bag on the big bed in the room, and a machete next to the three bags.

She opened the waist bag and found a dagger with a note attached:

Take care of yourself, we'll see each other again.

This dagger was the one Chen Qingqing taught her to use when she was dealing with zombies at close range.

Xiaoling held the dagger tightly, and something in her mind was gradually forming.

She walked out of the room and ran to the end of the corridor, rushed to the stairwell, wiped her tears, and from here she could see the family's car going away.

Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo first went to the surveillance room to see what the group had been doing in the past few days, but the surveillance room was completely smashed.

It may not be that group of people who did it. There have been many robberies recently. Maybe those who took advantage of the situation were worried that the world would return to peace and they would leave evidence, so they destroyed the surveillance room.

Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo had to go home first.

The elevator in the community was still running. They took the elevator to the third floor and stopped.

Xiao Huan looked up at the floor: "This is not our home."

Lin Bo touched his son's head, walked to the door of 301 and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door of the room opened. When the neighbors saw them, they were stunned at first, and then they smiled: "You are finally back!"

Chen Qingqing walked to her husband and stared at the man: "Is anyone looking for us?"

The man nodded repeatedly: "You are so accurate! Someone really is looking for you! A group of young people asked me if Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo live here. They said they are your relatives and came to your house to stay."

Chen Qingqing's heart tightened.

Where did she get these relatives!

"Then what do you say?" Chen Qingqing asked hurriedly.

"I am so smart. When I think about it carefully, even if they are relatives, more than a dozen people can't swarm into your house! They lie all the time, so they must not be good people!"

The man rubbed his arms and smiled.

"So I said you don't live here."

"Hey, but they didn't leave right away. It seems they stayed in a homestay in our community. They just left yesterday afternoon!"

Chen Qingqing's heart was a little relieved.

The man smiled flatteringly: "Am I right?"

"Yes, you said it very well."

"Thank you for your hard work."

The man waved his hands repeatedly and carefully looked at the family's clothes: "Are you... planning to come back to live?"

Chen Qingqing didn't answer and turned to walk upstairs.

The man was bored, touched his nose and closed the door.

The family entered the house, Chen Qingqing put her daughter in the crib, and began to walk around the house again, but after two rounds, she didn't know where to start.

Because the necessary things had already been packed into the space.

The remaining large items such as closets, beds, and sofas could not be taken away.

But every item in the house has great meaning to them.

In the end, Lin Bo still sat on the sofa with his wife in his arms.

"We can all recreate these memories."

"What's worth cherishing is not these things, but the days with my family."

"As long as we are together as a family, will we still worry about not having days worth remembering in the future?"

Chen Qingqing leaned on Lin Bo's shoulder, sighed slowly, raised her hand and turned on the TV.

The news anchor on TV said something reassuring - "Nowadays, drugstores of all sizes are in urgent shortage of drugs, but please don't worry, the general public, these drugs will be restocked soon..."

"No."

Chen Qingqing murmured.

Zombies have also appeared in major pharmaceutical factories, and the production lines have long been stopped.

Some stocks can be replenished, but for most people, the chance of grabbing the replenishment is too slim.

Most vehicles transporting drugs will encounter accidents on the way, the drugs will be robbed, and the drivers will be killed.

In a few days, the police officers transporting banknotes will switch to transporting drugs.

Xiao Huan went to the room to look at his sleeping sister for a while, then tiptoed to the living room and squeezed into the arms of his parents.

He looked up at his parents: "Where are we going?"

Yes, where are they going next?

Chen Qingqing looked at her husband.

Even though she had experienced the apocalypse for three years, she couldn't say where it was safe.

Places suitable for survival are crowded with people, and where there are people, there are zombies.

Where else can they go?

Lin Bo said in a gentle voice: "How about going to the beach?"

Chen Qingqing was stunned.

Xiao Huan suddenly became energetic: "Okay! I want to go to the beach! See the sea! I want to swim!"

Lin Bo looked at his wife and continued, "How about going to City A, the city where you grew up?"

Chen Qingqing smiled.

"Okay."

Three years after the apocalypse, her family was tormented by various disasters in the tide of the apocalypse, drifting with the tide and letting the waves beat.

She never had room for choice.

Although the three years gave her a lot of experience in surviving the apocalypse, it also deprived her of a lot.

Her kindness, her friendliness, her ability to perceive happiness.

Even though she already had the ability to protect herself and her family, she could only see a blank when she looked to the future.

She had no idea what to do next .

Fortunately, she still had her husband.

The husband who has not experienced the destruction of the end of the world still has hope for the world. He can teach Chen Qingqing, who has lost her ability to perceive, how to love her life again.

Even though life is full of problems.

With them as role models, this ability to love life will be passed on to Xiaohuan and Huoshe.

This is probably the key to the continuation of the family.
