Chapter 286 Gu Yixuan 4
Zhang Zheng finally returned home safely, and soon moved abroad with her and Yu Shiyun.
At the time, a riot had just ended, and travel restrictions were tight, with plane tickets extremely difficult to obtain. However, Gu Yixuan didn't need to worry about these issues, as Zhang Zheng had already prepared everything.
Shortly after Gu Yixuan and her family left the country, another large-scale zombie outbreak occurred in China.
Gu Yixuan once thought she was a lucky person, having escaped the crisis twice and still maintaining a comfortable life even after reaching the safe zone.
After leaving the country, Gu Yixuan only posted on her WeChat Moments but didn't browse the content, because most of the content was too tragic for her to read, but she still used Moments to record her life.
Unsurprisingly, I got scolded again.
Although being scolded won't hurt her, Gu Yixuan seemed to realize the inappropriateness of her behavior from those insults.
So she stopped publicly documenting her life and instead found someone with no life pressures to share it with.
This person is Lin Xi.
She lives in a safe house built by Yu Shiyun, which is well-stocked with supplies, as well as essential tools for her life such as solar panels and water purifiers.
Aside from being stuck at home and lacking freedom, Lin Xi's life seems pretty good.
Lin Xi occasionally shares her life with her.
For example, handmade mooncakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gu Yixuan discovered that Lin Xi actually had mooncakes to eat, and they were even handmade. Although they didn't look very appealing, they were still much more presentable than the meals she and Yu Shiyun made.
The determined young lady ran around several dessert shops overnight to buy mooncakes made by foreigners, and took a nice photo to show Lin Xi.
Then I would like to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lin Xi is the only person who can maintain contact with Gu Yixuan and not express negative emotions after the zombie outbreak.
The person she had once secretly pitied was now the only peer she could talk to, and Gu Yixuan cherished this friend.
When Lin Xi didn't reply to messages for a week, Gu Yixuan didn't take it seriously.
When she hadn't heard from him for a month, she became curious about his situation, but he didn't reply to her messages or answer her calls.
Yu Shiyun's message went unanswered.
Although Gu Yixuan was not sad, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
She asked Yu Shiyun for confirmation: "Lin Xi's house is very safe. Does the fact that she doesn't open the door mean there's no danger?"
“Not entirely.” Yu Shiyun sighed and shook her head slightly. “The house can indeed keep out zombies and ordinary people. But the zombie outbreak has been going on for half a year, and the current survival crisis comes not only from zombies, but also from harm to one’s own kind. If she encounters firearms and high-tech weapons, that house still won’t be able to protect her.”
Yu Shiyun kept abreast of news from China and was naturally aware of the situation after the zombie outbreak.
But seeing Gu Yixuan's worried face, she couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "But that's not necessarily true. Maybe her phone is broken or she can't contact us because she has no signal."
"All right."
Gu Yixuan wanted to know Lin Xi's situation so she could contact her.
For the next few months, right up until the Lunar New Year, Gu Yixuan would occasionally send Lin Xi a few messages, hoping that she wouldn't die like the others on the contact list.
However, as winter turned to spring, there was still no response from the other side of the chat window.
Gu Yixuan sent three candles over.
She hasn't removed Lin Xiqing from the list yet.
Zombies have also begun to break out overseas, and Gu Yixuan and Yu Shiyun have started to take refuge at home.
They gradually began to live the same life as Lin Xi, cooking and taking care of themselves while in home isolation.
Although their quality of life has declined considerably, their lives are still better than most people's because Zhang Zheng's work provides a steady stream of survival supplies.
Gu Yixuan gradually adapted to life at home.
Suddenly one day, a long-lost profile picture jumped to the top of the list.
Gu Yixuan was somewhat surprised, or rather, pleasantly surprised.
When the video call connected, both Gu Yixuan and Yu Shiyun were startled:
Who is this person with hair that looks like it's been chewed by a dog and pale skin?
Lin Xi only briefly mentioned that painful experience and was unwilling to elaborate.
The two sides exchanged brief greetings.
There weren't many new things to share in the days that followed, because staying at home all the time meant there wasn't much interesting happening.
But since the zombie outbreak, Gu Yixuan has seen many people lose their lives or struggle in the apocalypse, and she no longer wants to share her own life.
