Chapter 1: Zombie Outbreak, I love music for my friend~
Ten days ago, I was just a full-time mother taking care of my baby at home with my parents. In fact, because my parents helped me, I didn’t need to quit my job. It was just that I was very busy at the time and my work had seriously affected my relationship with my baby.
You can do it at any time, but the growth of your child is irreversible. For this reason, I just quit my job.
My husband, Canaan, runs a small company with his friends. The income is average, but it can still support the family's daily expenses. Therefore, I am not in a hurry to go out to work again and plan to rest at home for two months.
Our baby son's name is Shuai Shuai. He is a very cute little boy with a tiger-like head and a tough brain. Now he is just eleven months old and he is very lively and naughty. This little baby is the core of our family now, and the family of five enjoys a happy family life.
joy!
However, no one thought that there would really be an outbreak of zombies in this world!
Our family lives on the 18th floor, which is the top floor. According to the unspoken rules in China, the balcony on the top floor naturally belongs to my family. We also built a small greenhouse on it, almost made of glass, and used it in our spare time.
, I can take my children to the top balcony to bask in the sun without worrying about being blown by the wind. You must know that sunlight has a great effect on promoting the healthy growth of children.
My parents are supermarket fanatics and morning market fanatics. They have to buy more than they can carry every day. So the two refrigerators at home are full to the brim.
After a brief explanation, I will tell you what happened.
It was a Sunday, and my husband Canaan was resting at home. Now every day we are thankful that it is Sunday! Otherwise, my husband might never see us again.
Anyone who has a baby at home knows that during this period, the baby will always wake up several times at night to drink milk, drink water, change diapers, or cry a few times, and has to be picked up and coaxed before he will continue to sleep.
Nan is a good husband and a good and competent father. Even though he works during the day, he still takes over the task of taking care of Shuai Shuai at night.
Despite Shuaishuai's tormenting at night, he never sleeps in in the morning. Basically, he gets up officially at five or six o'clock. This formal means that no matter how you coax him, he is completely awake and can't say anything.
Willing to sleep.
Because of this, someone must accompany him to get up every morning, whether it's playing, drinking water and eating some biscuits. In short, there is no chance to sleep again, and this task must be mine, Canaan
I'm responsible for the middle of the night, and I'm responsible for the early morning. The two of us work together like this, and it's been like this since Shuaishuai was born. But when I got up that Sunday morning, I felt strange. Although it was still dark outside, there were people in the distance.
All kinds of bright lights are quite clear. Today, the floor-to-ceiling window seems to be covered with a thick layer of white gauze, and nothing can be seen.
Could it be snowing? I leaned close to the sunglasses and looked outside, but I couldn't see anything except a vast expanse of white! Then I turned to the north window and looked outside, but the effect was still the same. I couldn't even see out half a meter away.
It’s not snowing! It’s not snowing like this. There’s no way you can’t even see the building opposite!
I was a little frightened. Bincheng where I was was not an imperial capital. Sandstorms were very common. I had never seen such heavy fog in this city since I was a child!
A few years ago I watched a movie, The Fog. In that movie, the fog came out of a broken space, along with all kinds of terrifying man-eating monsters, and a group of people were trapped in a supermarket.
On the verge of mental breakdown, the protagonist finally escaped with his son and two other people after all the hardships. In the fog, they found a monster as huge as a building passing by. At this time, the car ran out of gas. They were at the end of their rope and in despair.
, he ended the lives of four other people with only a pistol in his hand.
This was a kind of mercy. He didn't want the four people to be tortured by the monster, because he only had four bullets. He chose to face the last fear alone, but the ending was very disappointing! The fog soon dispersed, and the army also
He came to the rescue, but he was rescued, but his child had been shot and killed by himself. Watching this movie made me depressed, and I couldn't release it for a long time. It also left a deep impression on my heart!
So this identical heavy fog made me tremble in my heart. I held my child and hurried away from the large French window on the balcony, just in case a monster's tentacles would suddenly break through the window and kidnap my son!
At around seven o'clock, the whole family got up. They were surprised to see the heavy fog outside. My father also gave up going to the morning market to buy groceries. The refrigerator was full anyway, and he didn't dare to open the windows for circulation as usual.
Fresh air, turn on the TV and computer, the news is full of smog reports, and I saw on the Internet that this sudden smog is worldwide, and there are also heated discussions on foreign forums, and some people are on the Internet
Propaganda of doomsday theories makes us panic.
But at 8:30, the sun dispersed the thick fog like a piece of butter cake, and it became clear outside. We all breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to the news. After all, we have a baby at home.
There were too many things to do. Canaan and Dad prepared breakfast for adults and Shuai Shuai respectively. Mom was reading a short picture book to Shuai Shuai. I, as usual, vacuumed the floor with a vacuum cleaner, then mopped the floor and rinsed slippers.
Shuaishuai usually crawls all over the floor, so the hygiene on the ground must be maintained!
The family put all the panic caused by the morning haze behind in their busy schedule.
It was about ten o'clock in the morning. As usual, my father looked into the courtyard of the community from the north window to see if other children were out playing. At this time every day, he took his grandson downstairs to play.
Then he asked us to come over and take a look in a strange way. He said, strange, why are there so many people downstairs today?
Canaan and I are very curious people. When we heard this, we immediately went over to watch without looking. When we saw it, my heart felt cold. This was so abnormal! Moreover, this feeling was so familiar!
My husband and I have the same interests and hobbies. Our biggest hobby is watching horror movies. Our favorite is American TV series like The Walking Dead! Every time we watch it, we get excited, and we often talk about the plot in a lively manner.
Our community is closed and has very good greening. Usually there are very few people. Most of them are parents and their children playing downstairs. But today, there are many people downstairs, and they are all swaying, just like in a movie.
Those unconscious zombies in there!
My husband and I looked at each other and said at the same time, no way?
Because although we often discuss what will happen to us if zombies break out here, we absolutely do not believe in our hearts that such terrible monsters really exist in this world.
But now, what are they? Patients? Madmen? Mental illness?
Although we were shocked, my husband and I reacted very quickly. Regardless of what happened down there, we first rushed to the door to make sure the corridor was safe.
The layout of our community is that there are only two houses on the first floor, and our house also has an additional security door installed by the property owner. This door is to prevent the other house from being affected by the fire, so our home has two security doors.
Relatively speaking, it is very safe.
We opened the inner door first and went to the outer door together. The door was locked. We pressed against the door and listened to the sounds in the corridor. Because this is the top floor, in addition to express delivery people, there are also cleaners.
No one has ever come up here. There is a couple living across the door. They are in their forties and have no children. We rarely interact with each other and only occasionally bump into each other in the elevator.
It was very quiet outside the door, very, very quiet! My husband and I looked at each other and gently opened the iron door outside.
The corridor was empty. I glanced at the elevator indicator light. The elevator was parked in the underground garage and was motionless. No one was using the elevator now! The door to the concierge was closed tightly. My husband and I rushed to the iron door of the stairwell in tacit agreement.
The door is open. This door is always open and never locked, but it can be locked! We stretched our heads and looked towards the stairwell. It was very quiet and there was no movement at all. The debris was piled there alone. I whispered
,Husband, shall we make preparations?
My husband nodded, so we quickly moved the big vat where dad used to pickle sauerkraut to the middle of the stairs. Together with the neighbor’s discarded old sofas, we piled them on the middle floor from the next floor to ours, blocking the way up from below.
Then I checked the space on the top floor uneasily. It was empty, and the door leading to the rooftop was locked. It was locked by the property management.
After confirming that the 18th floor had been enclosed into an independent and safe space, we retreated and locked the iron door of the stairwell.
My husband and I returned home and locked the outer iron door and the inner iron door firmly.
Then we went back to the window and looked downstairs. By this time we could already hear the screams. The scene we saw was trembling! Several people were holding down one person, and that person was screaming wildly, and then attracted other people.
The wandering guy soon stopped shouting. My father and mother were frightened and kept asking, are these people crazy? Why didn't the police come?
That's right! Why didn't anyone call the police? Canaan quickly picked up the phone and dialed 110! But the line was busy, kept busy! This is abnormal, and I have never heard of the number of calls being bombarded before!
Helpless, we put down the phone and continued to watch the community. To be honest, as ordinary people, there is nothing we can do.
My husband and I have seen too many scenes like this. When zombies pounce on someone, someone is still cursing, "Get away! Psycho! Crazy!"
My father and mother have never seen these horror movies, and they don't understand at all that these people can no longer be called human beings.
Only my little chubby son, who is as curious as his parents, stares with innocent eyes and shows no fear at all. He is a little guy who doesn’t understand what danger is!
Suddenly, my heart feels so heavy! Hobbies are hobbies. The reason why I like watching horror movies is because we all understand that those horrors are far away from us and have nothing to do with us. They are just movies.
We have always lived in safety, so we can see it so easily and happily.
But now, when the horror is really happening in front of my eyes, I don't feel interesting at all, I only feel panic and despair!
My heart kept trembling, I couldn't take my eyes away from the scene downstairs, and my legs became weak.
At this time, a chest came close to me, and my husband silently held me tightly in his arms. He gently said to me, "Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten that we are at least experienced?"
Of course, we are both familiar with this kind of scene. We have watched almost most zombie movies and are very familiar with the plot! Especially the characteristics of this kind of terrifying creature.
Unconsciously, my strength recovered. I am a daughter and a mother. Although I have a husband, it is impossible to rely on him alone to protect our family. I must become stronger!
I actually forgot to mention that my husband has practiced Sanda and has a strong physique. Although he looks a little lean, he is definitely a representative of the powerful and calm type.
As for me, I have always been very tough, so I took the black belt test in Taekwondo two years ago. Taekwondo focuses on the use of the legs, and the main attack method is to use the legs, striving to be fast and ruthless. Although my leg skills are indeed not very good,
Because I prefer to practice arm strength and palm strength against the sandbag in the gym, but I understand the core idea of Taekwondo attack well.
At least, our husband and wife are not frail modern people. During this period, we repeatedly called the police and the mayor’s hotline, but none of them were able to get through! As you can imagine, it was already chaotic outside!
The TV was on, and there was no entertainment program on it. There was only one channel left, and the content played was exactly the same. It was a middle-aged man with a cold face and a Chinese tunic suit talking. I have never seen this in any media.
He looks like a middle-aged man, so he should not be a host but a big leader.
At this time, he is the one issuing the warning. I speculate that he should be the kind of leader who specializes in handling crises and is usually very low-key, but actually holds real power.
The content of the warning is not complicated. It says like this: "Dear citizens, there is a plague outside, which causes infected people to develop the characteristics of rabies. Please stay at home as much as possible and do not go out! Ensure your own safety! In addition, if you are at home
If anyone develops this disease, please isolate yourself from him. Please wait for the military’s rescue and don’t act rashly!”
To be honest, we very much believe in the power of our country’s military. Whether it’s a flood or an earthquake, it’s our most lovable people who rush to the front line to fight for us and save the people from the fire and water! After hearing this statement, our whole family felt heartbroken.
With hope, I calmed down somewhat.
Time was running out, so I explained to my parents in the shortest possible time what zombies were like. They still couldn't believe it, but what really happened under the bright sun made them believe that everything was in chaos outside.
Fortunately, the 18th floor is really high, and there are currently no more industrious zombies willing to come up to attack the living people, so we are still safe.
Our son Shuaishuai was not interested in our serious conversation at all. He was a little dissatisfied when his grandpa did not take him downstairs to play today, but the toys quickly attracted his attention and he had a lot of fun playing with them.
My parents were actually very frightened, but Canaan and I kept calming them down, and they tried to calm down in order to make us worry less. After calming my parents down, my husband and I quickly took inventory of the things at home.
Food, because we don’t know how long we have to hide at home! It’s such a chaos outside, even if the army comes out, it’s impossible to eliminate so many infected zombies in a short time.
Yes, they are zombies! Although they are called infected patients on TV, Canaan and I insist that they are zombies!
The two refrigerators are filled with vegetables, meat and fruits, three bags of rice that Dad just stocked up, and more than thirty steamed buns. Thanks to Mom’s stomach, she loves steamed buns the most! Steamed buns don’t need electricity, we
I don’t know how long the electricity and water will last!
There are still two large boxes of milk powder for my son. In fact, he has been mainly eating food for a long time, but he is also happy to give him milk. He is not a picky baby. Thank him!
The box under the dining table is full of a box of canned beef and fish, as well as two boxes of canned beer. Well, this is my husband's habit. I usually scold him for eating these junk carcinogenic foods, but now I really have to thank him! Keep it up.
The period is long enough!
But we soon discovered a serious thing! We usually like to boil water for drinking, so we don’t have bottled water or barreled water at home. If the water quality is infected, then we really can only drink bottled water.
The problem is, I don’t even have a bottle at home!
Because there are elderly people and children, we have prepared several oversized thermos bottles at home, which we boil water to fill every day for drinking and use. Today's thermos bottles are full.
In other words, today’s water may be enough for the time being, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
