Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The banging sounds continued for a minute or two and still did not stop. Moreover, the sounds were regular. They were not "bang bang bang" but "bang-bang-bang". After a while, they became "bang-bang-bang-bang-bang" in frequency.

The knife in Zhang Moran's hand was gradually covered with sticky sweat. His nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again, but this time he was more scared than before, because he could probably guess what was banging on the door outside.

It's a zombie!

No, it should be said that they were once human beings, but for some reason they turned into monster zombies!

Zhang Moran felt a pang of sadness when he thought of his girlfriend who he had been dating for three years in Hong City and with whom he had been through thick and thin together. Originally, the two had planned to hold a small wedding after the extreme cold was over, in the former church in Hong City. It was the only small church located in the Hong City base. Although the marriage rate was very low in the apocalypse, there were still young couples who wanted to go through the ceremony, especially the girls who once longed to wear a wedding dress and dreamed of walking into the church.

Zhang Moran's girlfriend is his colleague, and also the girl he pursued passionately after he joined the unit. At that time, Zhang Moran had nothing except a job, and even lived and ate in a shantytown. His girlfriend's family is a middle-class family. Her parents both work in a small enterprise in the base, and their family lives in a community with a better environment. However, this family did not despise Zhang Moran's background. Instead, they supported their relationship.

His girlfriend has been silently supporting Zhang Moran and accompanying him through many difficult times. When it was extremely cold, the two young lovers were trapped in a rental house, and they snuggled up to each other and waited for the rescue team to arrive.

Originally, both of them were people who didn't pay much attention to ceremonies and had never thought about getting married one day, but Ji Han's experience changed their minds. Since they love each other, why can't they enter the palace of marriage? And he wanted to give his girlfriend an impressive wedding. He even contacted the staff at the church before coming and paid a deposit in advance. At that time, only the relatives and friends of both parties will be present, and they will get married with the blessings of each other's relatives.

It's a pity that all this is about to come to nothing, and he doesn't know if he can return to Hong City alive this time. He doesn't want to become an emotionless zombie, and he doesn't want to eat people when he loses his mind. If zombies really break in, he will choose to jump directly from the seventh floor.

The window of Diamond Hotel faces the road next door. There are two types of rooms: ordinary business rooms and deluxe rooms. Deluxe studios and deluxe suites all have balconies. The one Zhang Moran lives in is a business room with only a large bay window. Looking out of the window, you can see the panoramic view of Jiangcheng Base. After all, there are no higher floors than Diamond Hotel nearby.

Zhang Moran thought that if he jumped from here, he would be completely dead, but that was much better than becoming food for zombies.

The bloody smell in the corridor even seeped into the room, making Zhang Moran feel nauseous instantly.

At first, he thought that it was just rabies patients biting people indiscriminately, but when it developed into indiscriminate attacks on people, even biting and eating people, Zhang Moran realized that this was definitely not ordinary rabies, but more like the zombies in the "Life Crisis" he had seen.

Zhang Moran no longer worries about why zombie incidents occurred in the Jiangcheng base. It is the sixth year of the apocalypse. From the mutated animals at the beginning to the superpowers, this is actually a mutation of the species. Turning into zombies is probably also a form of mutation. As for why it was not discovered in the early days of the apocalypse, that should be a topic for scientific researchers to study. Now Zhang Moran has only one thought in his mind, that is, whether he can survive. If he wants to break through the zombie group unscathed, what is the probability of this possibility?

Zhang Moran thought of his girlfriend and colleagues he got along well with, and his original idea of ​​giving up on himself disappeared instantly. He found some gauze, tape, Band-Aids, etc. that were distributed when he was quarantined in the cabinet, and also found a few empty mineral water bottles.

I used scissors to cut a mineral water bottle into a size that could just cover my wrists and elbows, then wrapped it with tape several times. I also wrapped my neck with gauze several times. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it didn't affect my movements.

After doing all this, I also carry a bottle of alcohol with me. If I get scratched or bitten by accident, I don’t know if immediate disinfection and bleeding can prevent mutation.

Although I learned these from countless zombie movies, in fact, if the time really comes, they may really save my life.

After doing all this, he broke out in a layer of hot sweat. The sound of banging on the door outside was still continuing. He didn't know why these zombies had targeted his room, as if they would not give up.

While Zhang Moran was nervous in the room, Meimei and her mother Ye Mei were hiding in the bathroom on the ninth floor.

The door to the bathroom is made of glass, which is actually much more fragile than the main door outside because the glass door cannot withstand strong impacts. Meimei doesn't know how long the door inside can last if the door is forcibly opened.

"Don't be afraid, Meimei. Our hotel security personnel are all trained and most of them have combat experience. There are also people from the Self-Defense Forces outside. They will definitely be able to suppress these zombies quickly." In the face of danger, Ye Mei still hugged her daughter tightly.

Meimei sneaked into the hotel last night when the security was lax. At that time, the hotel blocked the floors above the sixth floor, and found Ye Mei's room before the network was completely disconnected.

Even though she knew that Ye Mei was in the latent stage of mutation, Meimei still chose to stay in the room with her mother without hesitation.

In fact, Ye Mei was strongly opposed to Meimei staying in the hotel, but she really couldn't persuade her daughter. In addition, when she wanted her daughter to leave, the hotel had been completely blocked. In the end, the mother and daughter had to stay in the hotel together.

The hotel was relatively quiet from last night until this afternoon. People from the nearby health center and security personnel brought them food, but around six in the evening, that was the last time they delivered food.

This time, the delivery included about three to four days' worth of compressed biscuits, some dried meat, canned food, and about six bottles of mineral water per person per day.

Although the security personnel were slightly surprised to see there was another girl in Ye Mei's room, they still gave the werewolf a sufficient amount of food.

Some guests expressed dissatisfaction, believing that the hotel was exploiting them in disguise. Unfortunately, their protests were ultimately suppressed by the guns of the Self-Defense Forces and security personnel.

Meimei also learned the whole story from Ye Mei and knew what happened in the "biting incident".

At first, a customer was vomiting and having diarrhea, and finally a creepy and weird cry came from his throat, and then he attacked other people indiscriminately. His entire appearance also changed. For example, the color of his skin became gray and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot. He had no rationality at all when biting people, and was very sensitive to the smell of blood.

Several of the hospital staff who first arrived were bitten. When they opened their mouths, they found that they had canine teeth about three or four centimeters long. These canine teeth could easily tear human skin.

In order to stop this crazy man, security guards and many hotel waiters were bitten, and even some guests who were watching the fun were not spared. Several guests who were seriously injured were sent to a nearby clinic, and the rest who were only scratched could only be temporarily arranged to recuperate in guest rooms.

Later, the people who were scratched mutated one after another, and everyone realized that it might be some new virus. They called on those who were bitten or scratched to self-isolate immediately. Not long after, the entire hotel strengthened its blockade management, but somehow the power went out at seven o'clock, and there were more sounds of various patrol footsteps outside the corridor.

However, Ye Mei said that the ninth floor would be relatively safer. The person who was responsible for delivering meals was quite familiar with Ye Mei and told Ye Mei that there were the most people on the ninth floor, so there were also the most security personnel. Plus with the four psychics, there was basically no need to worry too much.

On the contrary, the situation on the seventh and eighth floors would be more serious, because the seventh and eighth floors were originally used to isolate some people who were bitten or scratched by the mutants before. Therefore, if this "rabies" breaks out, the two floors below will be the first to bear the brunt of the worst.

"Mom, this isn't right. I remember you said that no one in our quarantined floor has been bitten or injured. If that's the case, how could those mutated zombies appear on the ninth floor?" Meimei bit her lip, feeling that this matter might not be that simple.

"Zombies? How can you say they are zombies? They are just, just having rabies attacks." Ye Mei still couldn't believe that they had turned into man-eating monsters.

Seeing that Ye Mei still couldn't accept this reality, Mei Mei could only sigh and then patiently explained the current situation: "Mom, do you think they can still be considered human beings? Have you forgotten the screams downstairs? And didn't you also know from the security personnel that those zombies can eat people? No matter what, our current situation is very dangerous."

Ye Mei looked at her daughter helplessly: "What should we do now? The door is locked and we can't get out. Besides, if it's true as you said, those zombies are really downstairs, wouldn't it be like sending ourselves to die if we go out?"

"Let's block the door first, using the coffee table and that cabinet." Meimei pushed open the bathroom door, then pointed at the coffee table beside the bed and another cabinet.

Then he saw the cabinet under the TV and whispered, "Mom, let's move the TV cabinet over there as well."

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Ye Mei was still a little hesitant, because she didn't quite believe that the zombies could break through the door easily.

"That's not an exaggeration. Block the door so that the zombies can't get in. We can save on food. I brought a lot when I came here. It should be enough for the two of us to survive for two more days." When Meimei left the guesthouse, Xiaofeng and Xia Tian both secretly gave her a lot of snacks, and even the proprietress stuffed a lot of self-heating rice into her backpack.

Meimei was worried that Ye Mei didn't eat well during the quarantine in the hotel, so she came with a bunch of snacks.

The mother and daughter carefully piled the TV cabinet and coffee table at the door. They originally wanted to move the wardrobe, but found that the wardrobe was too heavy and they could not lift it at all. They were also worried that making too much noise would attract attention, so they had to give up.

"Don't worry, the door panels of the hotel are all made of steel composite panels, which are quite strong. Besides, there are so many security guards outside, so we will be fine for a while." Ye Mei gently put her arm around Meimei's shoulders and comforted her. But in fact, the mother and daughter knew very well that it was only a matter of time before something happened on the ninth floor. Now the screams from the eighth floor had already reached the ninth floor, and the voices of the guards could be heard in the corridor.

"Mom, I heard them say that there are problems on the seventh and eighth floors. It seems that mutant zombies have escaped."

"Don't worry, support will come soon from outside." Ye Mei murmured, but her hands were actually shaking.

Meimei gently patted the back of her mother's hand and could only whisper, "Mom, let's get ready first."

"? What preparations?" Ye Mei looked at Meimei with some confusion.

Meimei pulled Ye Mei to the bedside and wrapped disposable slippers and tape around Ye Mei's arm.

Because the room they were isolated in was a luxury suite, there were six or seven pairs of disposable slippers in total, and they cut the bath towels into strips in the bathroom and tied them around their calves.

"Meimei, what are you doing?" Ye Mei looked down at Meimei who was tying her calves.

Meimei is very efficient and after working in the guesthouse for a while, she can handle everything in an orderly manner. She also learnt a lot of common sense from the cleaning lady in the guesthouse.

It’s funny to say, Meimei was not that diligent when she was at home. However, after entering the guesthouse, she was infected by everyone’s positive attitude and started to become diligent.

Seeing her daughter, who originally could not even do housework, now doing things in an orderly manner, Ye Mei felt surprised and happy, but at the same time she felt a little remorseful for having implicated her daughter.

After Meimei finished all this for Ye Mei, she quickly did it for herself as well, so that she would have an extra layer of protection even when zombies came.

"By the way, Mom, take this." Meimei handed the mop stick that she had disassembled in the bathroom to Ye Mei, and she herself held a disassembled broom handle.

These two were what Ye Mei hadn't had time to put in the warehouse after she finished cleaning. The handles of the mop and broom were made of stainless steel. Although they were hollow in the middle, they could still be used as weapons. Otherwise, she couldn't stop the zombies with her hands when they rushed in.

After doing all this, Meimei pulled Ye Mei and hid in the bathroom.

The bathroom was not small, about seven or eight square meters. Luo Mei was worried that the zombies would rush in too quickly, so she took a chair when she came in and blocked the door with the chair, which made her feel a little more at ease.

At this moment, bursts of shouting were heard from the eighth floor.
