Ch10 - Rescue team?

“Ho… ho…”

“Crack, creak…” 

A hair-raising voice came from outside the door of the room, and the family hid in the kitchen shivering, tightly shutting themselves in their home.

This family was very lucky. Compared with other families, at least they didn’t wake up and suddenly found that their closest people had turned into zombies and attacked them.

But they are not completely lucky. This family lives in an old-fashioned house. The house has been renovated for a long time. It is made of metal, with a row of metal railings erected on the outermost layer, and a layer of metal mesh inside.

At this time, the metal mesh had been completely scratched, and several large and small holes had been dug out in the wooden door inside and the thinner part of the metal sheet below. Many zombies gathered here because they smelled the smell of human flesh inside.

What made the family even more desperate was that the glass windows of the living room and bedroom on the second floor had been broken from the outside during the first and most chaotic few days!

That’s right, it was people!

Those who wake up from a coma and find that the end of the world is approaching, who shouted for help after being scratched by zombies, but no one dared to come forward to help them, and those who held the mentality of “if I die, I will bring you down with me” when they were desperate, actually ran for their lives while using Randomly picked up explosion-proof axes, stones, and other things they found, and smash the glass of other people’s houses!

Fortunately, because the family is on the second floor, even if the window of the bedroom and living room is smashed, the zombies outside can’t climb in for a while, but there are many zombies gathered near their building, as they are attracted by the human smell.

“Husband… the water has stopped!” The woman at home was tremblingly turning on the faucet at this time, but found that the water pipe that had water yesterday was no longer flowing! She turned her head to look at her husband in horror. At this time, whether it was her, her husband, or their son who was only seven or eight years old, their faces were dirty, yellow, with heavy dark circles.

“There’s no water?” The man froze for a moment, then immediately got up with a livid face, walked to the sink, and turned the knob forcefully.

There was no water flowing down, only the slight sound of air flowing in the water pipe, but soon, even this sound disappeared completely.

The woman was at a loss for a moment, and then she read hysterically: “There is no water…the window is broken… Could it be that the water meter at home is broken?! Can you just buy it online? Yes, online, online, Where’s the cell phone?!” 

The man bent down with a very ugly expression and went to the kitchen, rummaging all over.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The seven or eight-year-old child in the family curled up into a ball at this time, with a terrified expression, holding back tears and wrapping himself tightly in the quilt and sobbing, not even daring to cry loudly.

“Glv sbe oemxlcu ibrf sbeg wlcv?! Glvc’a atf fifmaglmlas ub boo atf vjs yfobgf sfrafgvjs? Tbe ralii kjca ab ub bcilcf?!” 

He was stunned for a while, and then his expression became ferocious: “What’s wrong with me going online to buy? What’s wrong with buying things online? I can buy and I can earn money! If it weren’t for you being useless, we wouldn’t have lived in such a dilapidated place back then and our windows wouldn’t be smashed. If it wasn’t for you, would we not have been able to escape when there were only a few zombies a few days ago?! You are trash, trash that doesn’t even dare to hit zombies!” 

The two argued with each other. The food at home was about to run out, and they were frightened by the roar of zombies outside and the occasional screams every day.

In the corner, the boy’s body shrunk even smaller, his whole body almost rolled into a ball, trembling violently.

“Boom, boom—”

The heavy sound came from nearby and gradually brought the two people back to their senses. They were stunned for a moment and then rushed frantically to the small window in the kitchen.

“It’s not this side…it’s the living room, the living room!” The voice outside was loud, and there was not only the faint sound of vehicles driving but also some things that could only be heard from TV and movies, the sound of guns and heavy weapons!

“It’s the troops, the troops! The troops are here to rescue us!” At this moment, the two had a glimmer of hope, no longer caring about the zombies blocked outside the door, and desperately rushed to the living room to look out the window.

“Tanks! Cannons! We’re saved!” The man was excited when he saw the situation outside, and then his face turned ugly. There were heavily armored vehicles passing by, but obviously, those vehicles had no intention of entering their community for rescue.

Can’t miss this opportunity, if they miss it, maybe they will starve to death here, or the door will be broken in by those zombies…

At the gate, the movements of the zombies waving their arms became crazier, and the iron gate and the wooden door got overwhelmed and made a rattling sound.

“I have to go quickly…” The man muttered in a low voice, looking down at the zombies wandering under the balcony and in the community. Hearing the sound of tanks and armored vehicles, many of these zombies turned around and went in the direction of the loud vehicles.

The man pulled down the big curtain of his living room and made a rope to climb down, suddenly, the door behind him made a loud “crash”, and the zombie outside the door finally broke in.

The woman screamed in horror, and when she wanted to pull her husband to stand in front of her to protect herself, she found that the man had already jumped off the window sill!

Yes, jump down! There were not many zombies outside, and many of them ran away following the sound. Maybe they wouldn’t notice her? The woman also jumped down in a panic, but she didn’t have such good luck as her husband, and she fell hard to the ground. At this time, her husband had already struggled desperately from among several zombies and ran frantically towards the gate of the community covered in blood.

“Where is… son?” The woman’s head was hurt, but it was precisely because of this fall that she remembered that they seemed to have forgotten something when they left the kitchen…

———————————————————

The dense crowd of zombies raised their hands high, raised their heads, and let out low growls full of longing from the depths of their throats, surrounding the entire laboratory building.

The clothes on his body were torn like rags, and his hair was messed up as if it hadn’t been washed for several months, but the skin on the young man’s body was exceptionally clean and intact, except for some places where there were dirty and bloody, there are no traces of wounds! This is certainly different in today’s city full of zombies.

But although the young man seemed to be intact, he collapsed on the ground as if he had no strength at this time, his eyes were full of sadness and even looked at a woman beside him with a hint of despair… Zombie.

That’s right, it was a female zombie, and her body was tightly bound by sheets, curtains, etc. torn into strips to make rope. The beautiful facial features were twisted ferociously at this time, and half-dried blood was all over her chin and lips. At this time, she was struggling desperately, as if she wanted to rush to bite the man in front of her, just like she did when she met this man just now.

The young man’s expression is mixed with pain and sadness, but also has a kind of resolute madness.

“Ruoxin, I won’t leave you alone…” The man’s eyes were straightened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to touch the face of the female zombie. The fierce eyes looked so hideous and terrifying, seeing the hand stretched out, she bit it and chewed!

The sharp teeth pierced through the skin on the palm, and bright red flowed from the wheat-colored palm, but the man didn’t seem to notice the pain at all. On his hand, where the girl’s zombie bit him, there was a faint white light!

The man didn’t even look at his bitten wound that was glowing, he just smiled nervously, his eyes gradually became firm and fanatical: “I know the real you will never want to go Cannibal… You are so pure, cute, and beautiful… Don’t worry, if you are hungry, you can eat my flesh and drink my blood! Previously, I was not even qualified to pursue you, but now, I will be by your side… I will always be with you and take care of you, and I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest, and I will never let you become like those things, chasing after others…” 

The man murmured to himself in a trance, but he didn’t notice the roar of vehicles and the sound of guns coming from a distance outside. He didn’t even notice that many zombies on the campus had already turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

———————————————————

“Boom, boom, bang——”

A loud sound came, which excited the zombies wandering around in the community, and collectively ran in the direction of the noise.

In a high-rise building, a few survivors who had just opened a door with great effort cheered in a low voice and hurried straight to the direction of the kitchen to search for any leftover food.

“Grandma Zhao, your strength is really great!” A young man rummaged through the room for things that could be used, and at the same time couldn’t help being surprised by the fifty-year-old woman in their passing group.

Holding a bone-chopping knife in one hand, the aunt put a rolling pin more than one meter long back into her belt and smiled at the young man.

Another man in his thirties turned around and said to him after hearing the young man’s words: “Didn’t you see that when the big guy just woke up that day, Grandma Zhao directly put down the two dangling zombies in the corridor?!”

Several people in the group couldn’t help but talk about this matter, and the aunt only occasionally responded with a few words, and then carefully searched for food and clothing that could be found in the family’s house.

People these days don’t like to store a lot of food at home anymore. Older people may still have the subconscious idea of ​​saving food, but young people often buy as much as they eat, and many young people don’t even cook at all, just buy and eat every day.

Fortunately, Grandma Zhao has been at home with her grandson for the past few years, so she is very familiar with the elders and aunts around her. Regardless of whether she lives in a high-rise building, except for a small number of migrant workers and young people who do not like to socialize with others, those gossip lovers who live in the same building are relatively clear about who lives in the same building.

The family they selected also has an elderly person in the family and usually stays at home, but the family members did not come back after the end of the world. It is estimated that they have become a member of the army of zombies below. Only after the surviving neighbors got together to clear the zombies in the corridor, they opened the door together to find food.

After gathering all the supplies from this family, and just as everyone was about to distribute them to the families upstairs, there was the faint sound of vehicles roaring outside.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment and then went to a nearby window to look out.

“A military vehicle! It’s a military vehicle!”

“There are still tanks! There are still tanks!”

“Did the army come to the city to rescue the trapped people?!”

“It’s saved! We’re saved!!”

“Hurry up! Get the sheets and towels What, go to the window and wave at those cars, maybe they will come to save us!!”
