The scene before her made Qiao An'an, who had watched zombie movies, feel a "boom" in her head. She was so scared that she couldn't even hold the knife she was chopping meat with steady hands.
Has the apocalypse depicted in novels and movies really come to pass?
The milkman was already lunging at Yaya with his mouth wide open.
For Ya Ya's sake, Qiao An'an forgot her fear, swung the boning knife in her hand, and slashed the milkman's head.
Zombie movies are absolutely true.
The milkman who was hit on the head fell to the ground and died instantly.
As the milkman collapsed, Qiao An'an noticed that the street across the street was already in chaos.
The elderly men strolling in the opposite neighborhood, the middle-aged women dancing in the square at the entrance of the neighborhood, the office workers rushing to work, and even the mothers pushing their children out in strollers all became targets of the zombies. Those who were slow to run were quickly bitten by the zombies, and those who were bitten then began to bite others.
Those who ran into the community quickly slammed the large iron gate shut behind them, completely ignoring the shouts and curses of those who hadn't entered.
The quick-thinking shopkeeper swiftly lowered the roller shutter door, instantly turning the pedestrians outside into targets of the zombies, leaving a blinding crimson scene everywhere.
A red-eyed zombie turned its gaze toward Qiao An'an's house.
Qiao An'an was so frightened that she quickly slammed the heavy iron door shut. The zombie did not give up, but instead rammed the iron door with all its might. Ya Ya was terrified and opened her mouth to cry.
Realizing that zombies are extremely sensitive to sound, Qiao An'an used her body to forcefully block the door while hurriedly covering Ya Ya's mouth to signal her not to cry: "With Mommy here, bad people can't get in, Ya Ya, don't cry."
Fortunately, Ya Ya was very obedient and tried her best to hold back her tears.
The iron gate and walls, having been reinforced beforehand, were not breached by the zombies.
Seeing that it couldn't break down the door after a long time and there were no other sounds from inside, the zombies gradually lost interest in what was inside and instead ran towards the other side of the road, which was filled with the smell of blood.
Qiao An'an was still not at ease, so she used a gardening shovel to prop up the iron gate from behind it, and then dragged out a solid wood sofa, cabinets, washing machine, and everything else she could move from the house to block the iron gate completely.
After doing all this, Qiao An'an carried Ya Ya all the way to the second floor. Only after closing the door and drawing the curtains did she dare to take out her phone to check.
The number of messages on my phone had already reached 99+.
Although relevant departments have repeatedly emphasized that people should not go out, saying that zombies are agile and can only be killed completely by hitting their heads, the first batch of volunteers have already brought the survivors from hospitals, schools and nursing homes into underground air-raid shelters. Citizens in the surrounding area who have not yet experienced a large-scale zombie outbreak can take refuge in the nearest underground air-raid shelter.
Residents in areas experiencing a large-scale zombie virus outbreak must keep their doors and windows closed and await rescue. Do not go outside!
Most of the survivors chose to follow the advice of relevant departments and wait for rescue at home.
However, many fearless IP bloggers still went to the front lines of the fight against zombies to attract attention and broadcast the events live.
A content creator with millions of followers, with his phone fixed to his forehead, excitedly waved a baseball bat and exclaimed, "They're just zombies! I can kill them with one baseball bat!"
Before he could even swing the baseball bat at the zombie's head, another zombie, appearing out of nowhere, bit his carotid artery.
He livestreamed the entire process of being devoured by zombies on his phone.
Fortunately, most of the content creators are quite normal.
Qiao An'an came across a live stream from a content creator who claimed to know the whole story. She said that the zombie virus was caused by people eating nuclear-leaked food sold by unscrupulous merchants from a certain country. Because the food was sold to many countries, the virus broke out globally at the same time. After the world was overrun, only our country continued to control the virus.
However, this zombie virus outbreak is too widespread.
She calculated that even if our country does everything in its power, it will take at least three years to control the virus, and the cost will be extremely high.
She also said that if no one maintains the power, water, and gas systems, they can only last for a week at most, after which the water, electricity, and gas will be cut off.
The satellite's maintenance cycle is half a month. It is estimated that after half a month, the mobile phone will lose the ability to make calls and send WeChat messages. It is recommended that everyone download the broadcast function on their mobile phones so that they can receive messages from relevant departments even without a signal.
She also advised everyone to take advantage of the fact that natural gas is still available to cook food that cannot be eaten raw as soon as possible, and to store plenty of clean water in preparation for a long-term stay at home.
She specifically emphasized that the most deadly thing in the apocalypse is not zombies, but people's hearts.
I suggest that everyone avoid being too saintly.
The primary task is to protect yourself and your family; leave the rescue and treatment to the relevant departments.
Although many people left comments under that content creator's video saying that she was exaggerating and creating a sensation, and that zombies, being such low-level creatures, are no match for firearms, and that we could control the zombie virus in three days, not three years, we could do it.
Qiao An'an, who has children, is not so optimistic and is preparing for the worst.
Qiao An'an's family has solar power generation and a well, so she doesn't worry about water and electricity. However, once the natural gas is cut off, she won't be able to cook with a gas stove. Although she built a traditional earthen stove in the yard to gain online attention and created a wall full of firewood like those popular online influencers do, the firewood pile is ultimately limited and definitely won't last three years.
Her top priority now is to clean out the food in the house. While there is still gas, she will cook all the food that needs to be cooked and put it in the freezer, and make a detailed plan for the daily consumption in the future.
