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

The knocking was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the silent night, especially now that the zombies had quieted down. The knocking was extremely regular, more like three long and two short knocks.

Judging from the performance of the mutated zombies, zombies do not have intelligence and seem to act based on physical instincts.

Meimei concentrated and gathered her breath, finally gritted her teeth, opened the door before Ye Mei woke up yet, and tiptoed into the living room.

The living room outside was so quiet at this time that Meimei could even hear her own slightly rapid breathing.

Her whole body became tense and stiff due to nervousness, but she still pulled out a clothes stick from the corner next to her, so that she would have a handy tool at any time when escaping.

Meimei felt cold sweat on her palms, but she still walked into the door.

At this time, in addition to the coffee table blocking the door, there is also a small shoe cabinet inside.

I stood there for two or three minutes. There was no movement outside, so I thought it was an illusion caused by my nervousness. Then, without warning, a clear knock on the door sounded again, and this time it was even accompanied by the sound of the doorknob being turned.

Zombies twist doorknobs?

Meimei's heart sank, and she instantly felt a sense of terrified crisis.

Isn't it common to see zombies evolve in movies? If zombies really mutate a second time and become intelligent creatures, then opening the door will no longer be a problem for them.

When Meimei thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and her hands holding the clothesline became colder and colder.

"anyone there?"

A deep male voice sounded outside, followed by two rapid knocks on the door.

This voice made Meimei look up suddenly, with disbelief flashing in her eyes. Just when she was half-believing and half-doubting, the voice outside asked again: "Is anyone there?"

Meimei hesitated before asking softly, "Who is it?"

The noise outside stopped abruptly. After about ten seconds, a familiar voice asked in an urgent tone, "Is that Meimei?"

Hearing the name, Meimei was almost certain that the person outside was her father. Her brain froze for a moment, but she then began to struggle to move the coffee table and shoe cabinet slowly to the side.

These things were not light, so it took some time to move them. Plus, she was anxious, so when her hand finally touched the door handle, Meimei's hand was shaking uncontrollably.

The door slowly opened a crack, and as expected, that slightly nervous and alert face appeared.

It’s Meimei’s father Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun was wearing the outdoor clothes he used to wear when working on construction sites. He was carrying a backpack and occasionally looked left and right vigilantly. His forehead was soaked with cold sweat. He was holding a wrench in his hand. Only after seeing Meimei did he show joy in his eyes.

Meimei opened the door and let Zhou Jun in. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Zhou Jun immediately cover her mouth with his hand, leaving only her nose exposed as she breathed rapidly.

At this moment, a sound of objects rubbing against the ground was heard in the corridor, and it seemed that there was a "bang bang" sound of someone knocking on the door in the room opposite.

The father and daughter stood there not daring to move. They could only wait for the sound of banging on the door to gradually stop, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief after the footsteps faded away in another direction.

Zhou Jun took back his hand, turned around and blocked the door again with the coffee table and shoe cabinet next to him. After he finally dealt with everything, Zhou Jun lowered his voice and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"In the room." Meimei frowned and her eyes fell on the room behind her.

Zhou Jun immediately pulled Meimei into the room and was visibly relieved when he saw his wife sleeping.

Meimei was standing on one side at this time, and took advantage of the faint moonlight coming in from outside to see Zhou Jun's appearance clearly.

There was a lot of blood on Zhou Jun's work clothes, and his face was paler than usual. The collar of his coat was wide open, and he looked extremely disheveled.

After noticing Meimei's gaze, Zhou Jun was worried that his daughter would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "Don't worry, I'm not infected. The blood is not from zombies, but... from the Self-Defense Forces outside." Zhou Jun's eyes showed panic when he said this, but at this moment, as a father, he still pretended to be calm. After all, he didn't want his daughter to worry.

"It's good that it's not the blood of zombies." The relationship between Meimei and Zhou Jun has always been very cold. After all, Zhou Jun didn't care much about Meimei before. In addition, Meimei was raised by Ye Mei since she was a child, so she has some resentment towards Zhou Jun as her father.

Maybe it was because their conversation was a little noisy, and Ye Mei’s sleep quality was not very good, so she woke up all of a sudden.

Suddenly seeing a man standing in the room, Ye Mei subconsciously reached out for the stick placed on the bedside.

Fortunately, Meimei was quick enough and immediately went over to pull down Ye Mei's hand: "Mom, don't do anything yet, it's Dad."

"Ye Mei, it's me." Zhou Jun also hurried forward so that Ye Mei could see him clearly.
