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

The drone was facing the balcony, and the noise it made was particularly clear in the darkness.

Meimei immediately became alert. Ye Mei wanted to stand up, but Meimei grabbed her sleeve and whispered, "Mom, go let Dad in."

Ye Mei nodded, then tiptoed around the bed to the door.

It was only then that Meimei noticed that the drone did not seem to intend to fly away immediately. It seemed more like it was investigating the situation in her room, or waiting for her to walk out of the balcony.

Meimei was hesitating, but suddenly she found a piece of paper floating under the drone.

Forget it. Even if the other party has some intentions, it doesn’t matter. The corridor is full of zombies now anyway. No one would be brave enough to attack her. Besides, they are a family together and have nothing to be afraid of.

Meimei bravely stepped on the floor, but she shivered immediately because of the cold as she touched the ground. Then she realized that she was not wearing shoes. She quickly found her shoes, put them on, and walked to the balcony wrapped in a blanket.

Probably because she still had a low fever, Meimei moved very slowly, and after being blown by the cold wind, she felt even more dizzy.

After seeing her clearly, the drone suddenly flew up and down, then circled in front of her and deliberately lowered its altitude.

Only then did Meimei realize that there was indeed a note stuck on the drone.

After taking the note off, I found a line of beautifully written words on it: [Hello, I am Bai Lu from your neighbor's house, the girl who greeted you on the balcony earlier. By the way, there is another girl in my room looking for someone right now. I guess she might be looking for you. She said her last name is Gu.]

At first, Meimei didn't react. She was stunned for about ten seconds before her eyes suddenly widened.

Her last name is Gu, and she also knows that she might be in the Diamond Hotel. Isn’t she the proprietress?

how come?

Meimei still didn't want to believe it, but even if Bailu wanted to lie to her, it was impossible for her to know the name of the proprietress. Besides, everyone was trapped in the hotel due to an accident and had never met before. She was very sure that she and Bailu had no previous intersection.

Originally, Meimei was still skeptical and her mind was buzzing, so when Zhou Jun and Ye Mei entered the room, they thought something had happened to her, so they hurried to their daughter's side. Zhou Jun had even raised the engineer shovel in his hand and was about to hit her, but fortunately, Meimei came to her senses and quickly grabbed his hand.

"Dad, no, no, this might be our boss lady's drone." Meimei stopped him in a low voice.

At this moment, a figure moved on the opposite balcony. Because there was no moonlight tonight and the whole hotel was in a power outage, it was difficult to see the person's appearance in the dark, but Meimei still heard a familiar cold female voice.

After confirming that the sound came from Bailu's balcony, Meimei immediately grabbed the balcony railing with both hands. Her eyes widened in the darkness, and she finally saw clearly that there were indeed two people standing opposite her. The figure of a taller and more upright woman made her blurt out subconsciously: "Madam Boss?"

Gu Tongwan signaled Bai Lu to retract the drone, but thinking that there was still a distance of five or six meters between the two balconies, plus the whistling wind, if they wanted to hear each other, they would need to raise their voices, but doing so would inevitably cause a commotion among the zombies outside.

Therefore, Gu Tongwan wrote a new note and stuck it on the drone, asking Bai Lu to fly the drone to Meimei again, and at the same time put a pen on it.

Gu Tongwan [There are too many zombies in the corridor now, and I can't get out for the time being. I plan to wait for another day. If there is no government rescue after one day, I plan to save myself. How is your food reserve? ]

Meimei [We have enough food here to last for three days. Are you leaving? ]

Meimei hesitated for a while but still put the note back on. This time, Gu Tongwan did not fly a drone to pass the note over.

Seeing Meimei returning to the room in a daze, Ye Mei was worried that her daughter would catch a cold, so she warmed Meimei's hands again, and then hurriedly asked, "What happened to that drone? Do you know the person on the balcony opposite?"

Ye Mei naturally also noticed that there was an extra person on the balcony opposite, and judging from Meimei's reaction, she seemed to know the other person.

After a while, Meimei raised her head and looked at Zhou Jun, "Dad, how many zombies were there when you sneaked into the hotel before?"

Zhou Jun hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "There are probably one or two zombies on each floor. The higher the floor, the more zombies there are, but there should be no more than four on each floor. But that was two days ago. If the mutation rate becomes faster, then the number of zombies in the hotel could double what I have seen before. I have also been observing the situation in the corridor these two days. The number of zombies on our floor alone has probably doubled. I guess a lot of people are infected. In addition, the rescue team has not come up yet. It is possible that some survivors were infected by zombies knocking on the door or biting them, or when they escaped."

"Dad, didn't you kill a zombie when you came here? Is their weakness really the head?" Meimei asked, biting her lip.

When Zhou Jun arrived, he met a young security zombie on the eighth floor. Fortunately, Zhou Jun reacted quickly and was not attacked by the zombie. In addition, Zhou Jun had worked in the construction team for many years and had a lot of strength, so the engineer shovel in his hand quickly chopped towards the zombie's head. It took about three or four hits to finally smash a bloody hole in the zombie's head.

"Well, zombies do become silent after their brains are destroyed." Speaking of this, Zhou Jun probably has to thank a young man at his former workplace who was a big zombie fan. When he had nothing to do all day, he would play with his phone, watch zombie movies and read zombie novels. When he was excited, he would pull others to discuss them. He also shared these weird and useless knowledge with many uncles in their construction team.

However, they did not expect that the useless information that they had laughed at at the beginning would become Zhou Jun's life-saving talisman.

If he had attacked other parts of the zombie, he might not have been able to see his wife and daughter alive.

Meimei thought of a possibility, so she asked again: "Dad, think again, what other characteristics do those zombies have, such as speed, agility, and sense of smell and hearing."

"Meimei, why are you asking so many questions? You don't want to..." Ye Mei didn't continue because she was not sure what she was thinking. But from her understanding of her daughter, she knew that although Meimei seemed careless, she was actually a meticulous person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to sneak into the hotel alone after it was sealed off.

Meimei seemed to have made up her mind. She saw a firm light flashing in her daughter's still bright eyes in the darkness.

"Dad, Mom, even though we have enough supplies now, we can only support it for three more days at most. But what if rescue doesn't come after three days, and what if there are more zombies down there? I've also observed these past two days, and I've seen almost no zombies near our hotel, which means that this area is at least safe. Besides, this is a hotel, so there must be cars in the parking lot on the first floor below, and maybe we can find one that we can use."

"Meimei, this is too risky. The corridor is full of zombies now. We are not superpowers. Even your father narrowly escaped death when he broke in, let alone us. Besides, you forgot that there were several superpowers in the corridor at that time. Even they were attacked and turned into zombies. If we go out now, we will die."

Ye Mei thought her daughter had a fever and was confused, so she kept holding her daughter's hand anxiously and distressedly.

This time, Meimei shook Ye Mei's hand back with extraordinary firmness.

Zhou Jun, who was frowning at the side, suddenly said, "Meimei's consideration is right. As long as we can get back to the sixth floor or below, we should be safe. When I came up earlier, I only found one zombie in the safe passage from the first floor lobby to the fifth floor. That is to say, zombies only exist where there are people. Zombies track people based on their smell or even sound. The downstairs is empty. As long as we keep a certain distance from the zombies, they will not be able to detect our location. Then we can leave the hotel."

"You... are really a father and daughter!" Ye Mei became furious when she saw that even her husband seemed to be thinking of a way out.

Zhou Jun glanced at his daughter who was still looking at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm still trying to figure it out, but you also have something to say, right?"

Meimei nodded quickly, and after thinking for a while, she spoke: "You saw someone on the balcony just now. That person is the proprietress of the guesthouse where I work."

Seeing the surprise in Ye Mei and Zhou Jun's eyes, Mei Mei continued: "When she knew that you were in trouble, it was the boss lady who came to find me first."

"Is she a girl of medium height and beautiful looks?" Zhou Jun suddenly asked.

Seeing the suspicion in Meimei's eyes, Zhou Jun explained, "When you couldn't contact your mother, she came to my house to look for me. But I didn't expect your boss's wife to sneak into the hotel. This shouldn't be a coincidence. But you said it was all to save you, and I can't believe it. But no matter what the purpose was, at least it was because of her that our family was reunited."

Meimei quickly took Ye Mei's hand and whispered, "Mom, didn't we make some defensive things before? They were made of those plastic shells. I want to make more tomorrow, preferably with thicker materials. I wonder if there are any more here."

"I remember there are some tools on my work cart that should be useful." Ye Mei said after careful consideration.

Seeing that Meimei was about to stand up, Ye Mei quickly pushed him back to the bed and said, "It's late at night now, don't worry, wait until tomorrow morning to look for it, there will be enough time."

---------

On the fourth day of the zombie outbreak, the number of infected people in the base has reached more than 3,000, and most zombies are still concentrated in crowded places.

Although the number of zombies is not large, what is more terrifying are the potential infected people. The latent period of the potential infected people is longer, and the disease can be transmitted through blood during the incubation period. There will be no abnormalities in the early stage, so it is difficult to distinguish between potential infected people and normal people. This means that you will never know whether the person you have contacted is an infected person.

Gu Tongwan tried to fix the equipment he had made for two consecutive days on his elbows, calves and other places, and was relieved when he found that it did not affect his movement speed.

In fact, she was wearing a [straitjacket] that could resist a certain amount of damage, plus a windbreaker on the outside. As long as the zombies didn't bite her, she could still withstand attacks like nails.

But Gu Tongwan really valued her life and didn't want any accidents to happen, so she added a layer of protection to all the major arteries.

Bai Lu, who was standing next to her, was also trying to tie the thing she made herself around her body. Seeing that the little girl was even more cautious than she was, the bulging towel was wrapped around her calves again and again. Finally, Gu Tongwan couldn't bear it anymore and reminded her, "You're going too far. Can you still move like this?"

Bai Lu immediately touched her face in embarrassment and said, "I'm just worried about being bitten by zombies."

"If you really get bitten by a zombie, you can use your movements and leverage to break free, but with the way you're dressed now, you won't be able to break free from the zombies because of your limited movements. If four or five zombies come at you at the same time, what are you going to do then?"

Bai Lu never thought of all this and just stood there in a daze. Then she quickly took off the towel on her body.

Seeing Bai Lu's actions, Gu Tongwan curled the corners of his mouth, and then suddenly heard a slight knocking sound on the balcony.

Bai Lu, who was sitting on the ground, was suddenly startled. Instead, Gu Tongwan walked out quickly and saw Mei, who was wearing thick clothes, looking in this direction anxiously. She waved quickly when she saw her come out.

Seeing that Meimei seemed to have something to say, Gu Tongwan immediately flew the drone over.

After a while, Meimei pasted the written note on it and made an "OK" gesture, and the drone returned to Gu Tongwan's hands again.

After reading the contents of the note, Gu Tongwan nodded at Meimei. This time, he picked up his phone and typed in the time.

Meimei could clearly see a big "9:00" on it. It was already past noon today, which meant that Gu Tongwan planned to start the action at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Meimei was shocked. She didn't expect to fall in love so quickly. But seeing that the weather was gloomy today and there were occasional sharp whistles not far away, she thought that the situation outside was not optimistic.

Gu Tongwan was also observing the situation outside at this time. He saw that there were only two military jeeps left outside the hotel where many Self-Defense Forces were stationed two days ago. It seemed that there were only seven or eight people on the staff. On the street not far away, there were two or three zombies wandering around aimlessly.

The several shops across the street had already closed their doors, and the entire street looked deserted.

It seems that several streets near the hotel have been completely blocked, and no one outside or inside can enter or leave.

At this moment, a sharp horn sounded as if tore through the silence of the neighborhood, followed by a violent collision. A black sedan below crashed into one of the store doors, causing a large dent.
