A moment later, Shen Jing took out a small hot pot.
They began preparing to eat the cooked food they had made before the apocalypse.
People online say that eating hot pot alone is the fifth level of loneliness, but she doesn't think so.
Hot pot is absolutely delicious.
The price will not be reduced by half a cent depending on how many people are eating together.
Moreover, Shen Jing grew up in an orphanage, so she got used to loneliness earlier than anyone else and enjoyed the quiet.
Dip the sliced beef in the hot pot into the dipping sauce, and eat it after it has absorbed all the seasoning.
Shen Jing felt extremely satisfied...
When she was a child, she thought that having hot pot as a family was an unattainable dream.
But now she no longer has any illusions.
The home had become an inheritance, which she then used to fill the entire space with material possessions. On the bright side, could it be that her parents were genuinely trying to protect her in a different way, making up for her missing childhood?
That's just self-deception.
Shen Jing shook her head and continued eating the mini hot pot on the table.
Compared to food, all she'll be able to do from now on is play single-player games. The phone and tablet she bought before the apocalypse actually had pre-downloaded entertainment, but she's only interested in games.
Fortunately, she's the kind of person who can play Tetris for half a day.
When the hot pot was about to reduce the sauce, she added a piece of instant noodles and sprinkled on the final side dishes. While waiting, Shen Jing took out her phone and opened WeChat.
The old housekeeper has left G City; he's going to live with his children in the southwest.
Before leaving, I sent her a message: "Miss, both cars have been specially equipped with alarm systems, but if you are going to drive on the road, you must be more vigilant towards strangers. Those monsters should not be able to damage the vehicles, but humans are more terrifying than monsters, please remember this."
It has to be said that the old folks have a clearer understanding of things.
The most terrifying thing is the human heart!
Besides the butler, there was also Su Huan's message: "Not only G City, but the whole world has fallen! Send a helicopter to pick me up in the next couple of days. A-Jing, let's go to the capital to establish a base together?"
There are a few more messages following.
It was Su Huan who was talking about the possibility of post-apocalyptic infrastructure.
This person truly treats games like reality, but unfortunately, things aren't as simple as he thinks.
"I won't wish you a safe journey since you're flying," Shen Jing replied with a smile, then typed on her phone: "Is there a base in the west? Are there military personnel there, someone surnamed He?"
"How did you know? Is He Qing trying to poach my girlfriend?!"
"His name is He Qing?" Shen Jing asked Su Huan nervously to confirm.
"Yeah, that guy's an oddball too. He's already fenced off an entire resort!"
"Then I'll wait and see. I wish you all the best."
"You really won't come with me? Actually, how do I feel about you..."
"Thank you for treating me like a younger sister. All these years of tuition fees were saved up by working for you."
"Hmph, I'm still your boss. If you can't make it here, you can always come to me!"
Having worked together for many years, there are some things that don't need to be said outright.
Shen Jing looked at the message he sent.
The final reply was: "Okay."
Every day, Shen Jing would observe the neighborhood through binoculars from her window, not only for the safety of the community but also for her own. Entrusting one's life to others was simply absurd.
When the unfinished building was identified, Shen Jing hadn't considered this situation.
The unfinished buildings have now become rare safe zones!
Now, perhaps even more people are risking their lives to come here.
The zombies outside are not only infected by acid rain, but even being scratched by a zombie will cause mutation.
Shen Jing couldn't distinguish between zombies and humans using her binoculars; she could only be wary of everyone who came to the neighborhood.
As night falls, those who went out to find supplies during the day will also return.
After all, it's now euphemistically called a safe zone.
That's also because there are no supplies, so it's pretty much the same as being trapped here.
To avoid starving to death, they had to find food as much as possible.
I heard that the wild vegetables and fruits on the mountain have been almost exhausted, and we need to go to more distant places to find them.
People like Shen Jing, who rarely go out, have also started to stick together.
Those who stay behind are responsible for guarding the supplies, while those who go out can get a larger share. If no one is assigned to stay behind, even the children and the gate might be stolen when they return. As for what the kidnappers do with the children, that's up to their discretion.
The initial harmonious atmosphere has been broken.
There's no going back.
As long as we can eat our fill and stay alive, we'll stop at nothing!
Time slowly moved forward.
The acid rain has stopped. This time of year is usually a great season for autumn outings, but now all you see is devastation.
My phone can no longer access the internet, but before the connection was lost, social media feeds were filled with messages like: "Eating people!!", "Zombies are downstairs!", "If I become a zombie and happen to meet you, please help me escape this world!", and "Waaah, I don't want to die!"
The zombies in short videos are uglier than those in movies and TV shows.
The fact that the walking dead only chase after humans is exactly the same.
When playing games before, Shen Jing could suppress her disgust and just shoot them in the head.
But now...
Looking at the swaying figure that appeared in the binoculars.
Shen Jing felt a little nauseous.
But they couldn't exactly blast the horn to warn others, otherwise the noise would only help the zombies pinpoint the neighborhood faster. But the reality was that people were already screaming.
"Aaaaaah! Zombies...it's zombies..."
"It's true! Zombies are approaching!"
"Mom! I don't want to die!"
"Who would want to become such a monster? I'd rather die!"
Then someone actually jumped down from the height.
The blood was everywhere, which was clearly more to the zombies' liking.
Shen Jing stood by the window, silently watching all of this.
Not long after, someone went down and carried the body away. It turned out that the person who committed suicide was one of the college students from that day. And the people who helped her clean up were several men, the same group of people she lived with.
The commotion just now clearly attracted the zombies' attention.
The zombie began to speed up its advance, its destination being the entrance to the residential area.
The community's external facilities have been reinforced several times during this period.
The appearance of a zombie has kept most people relatively calm, but the sight of someone jumping off a building has put an extra layer of anxiety on their nerves. For a moment, they thought of the people in the short videos, their faces mangled beyond recognition, but now they were even more terrified that they might end up like that!
Shen Jing took out a stun gun from her spatial storage.
It's true that it's always good to be prepared.
The appearance of even one zombie is like finding a cockroach; it means that countless zombies are already lurking in the environment!
Shen Jing believes that the community is not far from falling, and most of them are still hoping for the best.
Expecting an iron gate to stop a zombie?
It is certainly possible.
However, if a group of people gather together in front of the community gate...
Before the zombies even attack, the people inside will probably starve to death on the spot!
