Shi Yuanfen could only keep patting her granddaughter's back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandma is here."
The little granddaughter said weakly, "When will Grandpa come home? Grandma, I miss my parents. Where are they? When will they be back?"
"Be good, Youyou. Grandpa will be back in a few days. Your parents are working. They need to work to earn money so that they can buy you good food, drinks and new clothes."
Shi Yuanfen felt a lump in her throat and tried hard to hold back her tears. These past few days, she couldn't get through to her children or her old man.
Looking at the scene outside, she knew that it was most likely...
Looking at the little granddaughter in her arms, she realized that she was an old woman. When the world fell into chaos, they would be the target of others' slaughter.
Now they can hide at home because they have food, but the food will run out one day, and then what will happen to them, the grandparents and grandchildren?
Afraid that the food would run out, she has been subconsciously being more frugal these days.
"Youyou doesn't want new clothes, Youyou wants mommy and daddy." The little girl said with a pout, as if she was about to cry.
Shi Yuanfen was about to comfort her granddaughter when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Bang!”
The sudden knock on the door frightened Shi Yuanfen.
She quickly hugged her granddaughter tightly and made a gesture to her not to speak.
He quietly took the kitchen knife on his right hand, hid in the bedroom, and looked at the bedroom door vigilantly.
"Is anyone there? Aunt Shi, are you home?"
"Aunt Shi, I'm Jingzhi. Uncle Guan asked me to pick you up. Are you home? If you are, open the door quickly."
Outside the room, An Jingzhi and Yan Ruqiang and a few others fought their way to the seventh floor. The higher they went, the more zombies there were.
When they passed the fifth floor, they looked through the door of the fire escape and saw a lot of zombies standing in front of the elevator. They walked quietly and lowered their voices so as not to attract the attention of the zombies.
After arriving on the sixth floor, they encountered three more zombies. After they worked together to get rid of the zombies, the noise they made was so loud that it attracted all the zombies on the fifth floor.
Fortunately, they were upstairs and the zombies were downstairs. They were in a dominant position and their weapons had the advantage of distance, so they were able to eliminate all the zombies without any danger and reached the seventh floor safely.
If An Jingzhi had been given some time and made more preparations, they might not have been in such a mess, but those who were waiting for rescue might not be able to wait that long.
Hearing the familiar voice outside, Shi Yuanfen was silent for a moment.
"Aunt Shi, if you're home, please open the door for me."
"Sister Shi, I'm Xiao Yan."
I heard the familiar voice again, and there was one more.
Shi Yuanfen put her granddaughter down and whispered in her ear, "Hide under the bed obediently. No one is allowed to come out except grandma. Grandma will go out to see what's going on."
The little granddaughter covered her mouth tightly with her hands, looked at her with tearful eyes, and nodded obediently.
After arranging things for her granddaughter, Shi Yuanfen took a kitchen knife and gently opened the bedroom door.
She walked towards the door carefully step by step, but did not open it immediately.
She looked through the peephole and observed the situation outside vigilantly until she saw those familiar faces.
For a moment, she felt like she had met a relative. Shi Yuanfen couldn't hold back her tears. She wiped her eyes and slowly moved the sofa and cabinet that were blocking the door to the side.
"Jingzhi, wait a moment, I'll open the door for you."
After knocking for a long time, they finally heard voices from inside. An Jingzhi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, as they were worried that they were too late.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
After opening the door, Shi Yuanfen invited the people into the house and quickly locked the door.
He pulled Yan Ruqiang's arm and asked nervously, "Did Lao Guan ask you to come to us? Where is Lao Guan? How is Lao Guan?"
Yan Ruqiang explained, "Brother Guan is fine. We are a rescue team, specially sent out to save everyone's family. The others are still staying at the food factory."
"This time we came here to pick someone up at the food factory. We can get together in the future so we can discuss anything and have help."
When Shi Yuanfen heard that Guan Congsheng was fine, she quickly clasped her hands together and muttered, "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you..."
"Bang!"
Hearing a strange noise coming from the bedroom, An Jing tightened his grip on the shovel in his hand and looked towards the bedroom vigilantly.
Shi Yuanfen then remembered that her little granddaughter was in the bedroom. She explained as she walked towards the bedroom: "It's Youyou. I'll take the child out first."
Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.
After Shi Yuanfen took the child out, she saw the child looking at them timidly, curled up in Shi Yuanfen's arms.
"Aunt Shi, hurry up and pack your things, we'll leave right away."
Shi Yuanfen was both happy and flustered: "Leaving so soon, what should I take with me?"
"Try to bring as little as possible. Don't bring anything other than the necessities."
Shi Yuanfen coaxed the child and asked Yan Ruqiang to help look after him. She then hurried to the bedroom and packed a lot of clothes and daily necessities.
He went to the kitchen again and took the remaining two pounds of rice and half a pound of noodles.
Shi Yuanfen had a rough idea of what she was carrying, and she knew that she didn't bring more than one bag.
After looking around, An Jingzhi asked someone to help pack some materials that could be used later.
Someone helped Shi Yuanfen carry the luggage, and Yan Ruqiang held the child. An Jingzhi led the way, carrying a bag on his back, and walked downstairs with the two of them.
The person next door heard the noise coming from their side and hid through the peephole to observe for a long time.
"Are these people going downstairs? Are they looking for death?"
"Should we follow?"
"What are you going down there for? Going down there to feed the zombies? You idiot."
"There's no one on the other side now that the boss and the others are gone. Let's go see if there's anything to eat."
After the others went downstairs, they came to Shi Yuanfen's house. After cleaning up, they found that there was no food left, and even the knives were taken away by An Jingzhi.
All they found that could be used were some clothes of old men, women and children.
After saying bad luck, they quickly retreated to the room opposite.
An Jingzhi brought Shi Yuanfen and her grandson downstairs, and they walked along the west gate.
Most of the zombies were attracted away by the sound of Song Jianliang's car.
The few people wandering around the street were no match for the few people they encountered and were chopped down at the first sight.
Youyou had been hiding in Yan Ruqiang's arms and didn't see what was happening outside, but when she heard the sound, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Shi Yuanfen suppressed her fear and comforted her granddaughter, "Don't be afraid, Youyou. We will see Grandpa soon."
Several people walked along the west gate. They were lucky. When they reached the west gate, they saw a stalled truck not far away. This was the one driven by Song Jianliang.
