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

"Mom, you really need to change your warm-heartedness. How can you be so kind as to not know if the other person is a good person or not, and you just help them?"

Although she saw that Ye Mei was fine in the end, Meimei was furious when she thought that her mother was about to open the door of the room and go back to the living room, and she might be bitten by the zombies that broke through the door at any time.

Moreover, the people on the opposite side have nothing to do with them at all. Meimei doesn't want to care about the lives of others in the apocalypse.

Especially in such a situation, most people are already unable to take care of themselves, so why should they be so caring?

But this person is her mother, and Meimei cannot say or scold her. She can only remind her again and again.

Ye Mei also knew that Mei Mei was concerned about her, so she could only smile and nod: "I know what you mean, I just greeted them once or twice, they are nice people, not as condescending as others, and it's okay, the door outside is very solid, and we have used a lot of things to prop it up, so they won't break in for a while."

Meimei bit her lip and finally hummed, "This is the last time anyway, I don't want any of us to get into any accidents."

The man on the balcony had been looking at this side. After seeing Ye Mei coming back, a look of expectation appeared on his face. Meimei opened the medical box and searched for a while, took out a plate of capsules, and then ran to the toilet to soak the box, so as to increase the weight of the box. After all, the two balconies were three or four meters apart, and it was windy outside. If he didn't find a way to increase the amount of medicine in the box, it would most likely be blown away by the strong wind.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly. The medicine box fell steadily on the balcony opposite. The man hurriedly clasped his hands together and thanked her. Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Meimei.

"It's okay to drink bottled mineral water. You won't get infected. But don't drink the pot of osmanthus tea that was delivered to the guest room. There may be something wrong with that tea."

A strange look flashed across the man's eyes, and then he replied to Meimei with a serious expression: "Thank you."

After seeing the man turn around and enter the bedroom, Meimei and Ye Mei did not go in immediately. Instead, they observed the situation on every floor.

In addition to the man who just appeared on the balcony on the ninth floor, there was another girl with a ponytail who also poked her head out. She was about the same age as Meimei, and it seemed that she was also one of the survivors who had not mutated.

After seeing Meimei and Ye Mei, he was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes showed joy because he found that someone was still alive.

The girl glanced back at the door, as if to confirm whether there was any problem with the door, then she closed the balcony door and raised her voice slightly and said, "I live next door, and I'm alone now. Do you know when the rescue will come?"

Ye Mei and Mei Mei looked at each other, and then Mei Mei spoke: "I don't know. It's not clear what's going on outside yet, but I suggest you prop up the door with something and close the door. If the zombies outside have already broken in, it's best to choose the balcony as the last shelter. However, the temperature is relatively low at night, so you can also temporarily choose the bathroom."

The reason why Meimei made such a suggestion is that the balcony door is much thicker than the glass door of the bathroom. However, in order to prevent the zombies from getting more excited after seeing them after coming in, she plans to use the cover to block the glass from the outside. As long as the zombies' line of sight is blocked, the stress response of the zombies after seeing living people can be reduced to a certain extent.

These are what I learned from the zombie movies and novels I watched in the past. Although they have not been scientifically proven, if you imagine zombies as wild beasts, it will indeed be much safer if you block your line of sight.

The girl obviously understood, so she hurried into the house and took down the curtains inside. She also learned from the other person and tried to make a hanging rope in the middle. After trying several times, she finally got the curtains up. In this way, the curtains were outside the balcony door. If the zombies really came in, they could just draw the curtains. At least this way they wouldn't become excited after seeing living people.

But after a while, the girl opened her mouth tentatively, but unfortunately, her voice was too soft, so Meimei and Ye Mei couldn't hear it clearly.

The girl was probably worried that her voice was too loud and would attract the attention of other zombies, so she ran into the room and seemed to be looking for something. After a while, she actually took out a piece of white paper with her name and a simple sentence or two written on it.

[My name is Bailu. 813 and 812 next door have mutated. What should I do next? ]

After a while, a loud banging on the door startled Meimei, because the sound was particularly clear in the quiet night.

After calming down, Meimei realized that the sound did not come from her, but from the girl next door.

I only saw the girl with her hands on her chest, turning her head to look towards the bedroom with a look of horror, and her eyes were obviously filled with tears.

Fortunately, the girl was not the kind of person who would scream and shout when she was nervous. Instead, she covered her mouth and turned to look at Meimei for help.

Meimei frowned. She actually didn't have any good solution. She could only shake her head at the girl and then made a gesture to keep quiet.

Bai Lu gradually calmed down, then tiptoed back to the bedroom and put her ear to the door. The living room was still very quiet at this time, but after a while, the "bang" sound almost made Bai Lu scream again.

She remembered that she had blocked the door with the only sofa in the living room and stacked several chairs on top of it, which should at least last for a while.

Although the residents of rooms 812 and 813 had mutated, Bai Lu was sure that they did not escape because the wall next door still made noises from time to time. It should be the mutated zombies banging on the door aimlessly.

Bai Lu did the most cowardly thing in her life, which was to simply lie down under the door and observe the situation outside through the gap which was about two centimeters wide. She lay there for about seven or eight minutes. Time passed by minute by minute, but she still didn't see any shadow hanging around in the living room, so she felt a little relieved.

The zombies outside were probably just banging on the door and didn't break into her suite.

After calming down a little, Bai Lu immediately returned to the balcony. Then she found Meimei and Ye Mei were still there, so she made an OK gesture to them.

Meimei thought the girl was quite interesting. She wasn't very familiar with her, but she seemed to feel at ease only when she saw a living person.

"That child is probably scared too. Just respond to her if you can. She can't harm us from such a distance." Ye Mei sighed softly.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not that cold-blooded." Meimei looked around and found that even if the person on the opposite side had bad intentions, he couldn't get over. This was the ninth floor, and there were still several meters between them. There was no place to climb in between. Unless the other party was a superman or a person with special powers, there was absolutely no way he could get over.

Meimei remembered that there were a fountain pen and a notebook in the room, so she turned around and went to the room, picked up the pen and wrote something on it, then went back to the balcony and picked up the notebook.

[Pay attention to the sound, and don’t drink osmanthus tea]

Bai Lu was startled, then nodded as if she suddenly thought of something. Then she pointed to the place behind her and said with her lips: "Thank you, you should be careful with the door behind you, you should use something to prop it up."

At this time, Ye Mei took Meimei's hand and motioned Meimei to hand the notebook to her.

[The zombies from 812 and 813 are still in the house? ]

Bai Lu squinted her eyes and could only see the words clearly in the faint moonlight, but it was still difficult to recognize because Meimei used a water-based pen with a 0.5 nib and the strokes were very thin. In the end, Meimei could only use her mobile phone to illuminate the notebook.

After Bai Lu saw the words clearly, she immediately nodded vigorously.

Ye Mei wrote again [Your food needs to be saved, waiting for rescue! ]

Bai Lu knew that this was just a little kindness from a stranger, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Later, Meimei discovered that Bailu had moved all the bed sheets from the bedroom to the balcony, locked the balcony door tightly, and finally slid down. She must have temporarily huddled in the corner to avoid the cold wind.

In this situation, the balcony seems to be the last safe haven compared to the bedroom. Fortunately, the weather has gradually warmed up during this period, and the temperature at night is only about two or three degrees. I should be able to survive these days wrapped in thick sheets.

Meimei hesitated for a moment, then suggested that she and Ye Mei take turns to keep watch. Meimei is young, so she can work from 11pm to 5am, and then return to the balcony when the temperature warms up a little during the day, while Ye Mei will keep watch.

How could Ye Mei not guess what her daughter was thinking? She took into account the strong wind on the balcony, so she wanted to have an air-conditioned bedroom. But if she did that, Meimei would have to suffer the cold on the balcony during the day, so she rejected the proposal.

Seeing Ye Mei's refusal, Mei Mei quickly said, "Mom, just listen to me. Even if we keep watch, we'll be in the bedroom. There's heating here, so we can all be a little more comfortable. We can't stay on the balcony all night, right?"

"Then I'll guard the first half of the night, and you'll guard the second half." Ye Mei said.

But Meimei immediately shook her head at this: "No, you and I are still young, and my physical fitness is better than yours. I can stay up late, but you can't stay up too long. The most important thing for us right now is to maintain our physical strength, and we must not get sick. Once someone falls, it will be troublesome for the other party. It's okay for me to stay up all night. Have you forgotten that I often stay up late at home to read novels, and I can even stay up all night, so don't worry too much, I'm really fine."

Seeing that Meimei is still holding on, and that what her daughter said is not without reason, it is true that neither party can get sick now, as once they get sick they will drag down the other.

"That's fine, but I thought about it. You're too tired to work from 11 to 5. How about this? You stay until 3, and I'll call you at 3. After 3, I'll take over the night watch. I'll call you again around 6."

Meimei wanted to argue for a while, but when she saw Ye Mei's resolute look, she knew that she had no intention of giving in, so she could only nod in agreement, but still said worriedly: "My phone still has battery, I'll set an alarm."

Ye Mei couldn't help laughing, thinking that the girl was worried that she would wake her up while she was on guard.

The temperature dropped faster as time went on at night. It used to be around 6 or 7 degrees in the afternoon, but by the evening it was only 1 or 2 degrees. Meimei quickly pulled Ye Mei back to the bedroom.

There were still sounds of zombies banging on the door outside, but after gradually getting used to the sound, she was no longer so frightened. Maybe it was because she was with her mother this time, so Meimei seemed to be braver than usual.

Sometimes I still admire the little girl next door. She is trapped in the room alone, with man-eating zombies outside and no hope of rescue.

When I thought about rescuing Meimei, I felt helpless and angry. It was clearly agreed that everyone's safety would be guaranteed during the quarantine period, but why was there no rescue operation during the few hours of the zombie outbreak?

When we sneaked into the hotel before, there were at least dozens of security personnel outside, and there were about ten people on this floor, and even some people with special abilities. Could it be that all these people were killed by zombies?

Meimei's mind was in a mess as she checked their current supplies.

A total of ten bottles of mineral water, four packs of compressed biscuits, two boxes of self-heating lunch boxes, four chocolate energy bars, two packs of jerky, and three loaves of bread.

Because she and Ye Mei had already eaten some food from last night to today in order to replenish their energy. Considering that rescue might arrive soon, they were not too strict with themselves in terms of food. At least they had to maintain their physical strength, otherwise if they encountered an unexpected situation, they would have to mobilize all the functions of the body quickly.

At present, these foods can only last until the night after tomorrow. Even if they eat sparingly, they will not last more than three days. Therefore, if they still cannot wait for rescue during this period of time, they will starve to death in this room sooner or later even if they are not bitten to death by zombies.

The low roars of zombies could be heard through the door. Ye Mei didn't sleep well either. Meimei saw her tossing and turning for several times, and she only fell into a deep sleep after the zombies' roars gradually became smaller.

Meimei twisted the corner of the quilt for her mother with some heartache, and then turned on her mobile phone again. At this time, there was still no signal.

I don’t know what the situation is outside. Is the zombie situation under control?

And why has the al-Qaeda government not taken any action yet?

Too many questions lingered in Meimei's mind, but unfortunately, when she looked down from the balcony, she didn't see any rescuers. Apart from a few corpses who chose to jump off the building to end their lives because they could not accept the approach of death, there was no sign of other people, neither living people nor zombies.

Since no zombies were seen around, does that mean the zombies are still under control in the entire hotel?

Before Meimei could think any further, a very strange knock on the door outside seemed to faintly reach the bedroom.

At first, Meimei thought it was just zombies banging on the door, but as she gradually came to her senses, she realized something was wrong.

Knocking on the door? Do zombies knock on the door?
