The woman's shrill screams echoed throughout the entire apartment building, causing Mr. Xue's wife Fengmei to lean into her husband's arms.

"What happened? It's so scary. Are there zombies eating people again?" Fengmei clutched the corner of her husband's clothes with both hands, her face pale with fear.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue were also startled by the sound, especially Mrs. Xue, who hugged her granddaughter tightly in her arms.

Although my little daughter, who just entered the first grade, was still young, she knew that the streets were full of man-eating monsters. So when she heard the woman's voice, she timidly asked the adult: "This auntie's voice is so scary, is she going to be eaten by a monster?"

"Weiwei, don't listen to that voice. Let grandma tell you a story, okay?" Xue's mother was worried that her young granddaughter would be traumatized by this, so she had to try her best to divert her granddaughter's attention.

Mr. Xue temporarily let go of his wife, then slowly walked towards the balcony of his home.

Fengmei immediately grabbed her husband's sleeve and said, "Wait, I'll go with you."

The couple walked to the balcony carefully. They lived on the sixth floor, so they didn't need patient zombies to climb up for the time being. And from the observation of the zombies outside during this period, although these zombies moved very fast, they did not seem to have the ability to climb, and even if they climbed, they could only climb to the third floor at most. Because when this community was first built, each unit building was designed with only one elevator and two households, and the balconies were seven or eight meters apart. The only way to climb up was through the anti-theft windows and the water pipes on the outer wall, but there was a limited place to step on the water pipes. There had been thieves in the unit before, and one of the thieves didn't pay attention to the situation under his feet when he climbed to the third floor, and he stepped on empty air and fell to his death. The other thief was so scared that he ran away, and the body of the little thief who fell down was not found until the next day.

Engineer Xue first approached the balcony and slightly lifted the fallen curtains. He then heard the noise coming from a woman on the fifth floor of the opposite apartment building.

At this time, the woman was kneeling on the ground with her hands folded, and opposite her was a man sitting. Behind the man were about four or five people, but there was another person lying on the floor. The woman had disheveled hair and was only wearing a red suspender nightgown. She was shivering from the cold in such weather, but the man opposite her gave a bad and frivolous laugh.

Engineer Xue took one look and immediately closed the curtains. He remembered that there was a young couple living on the floor opposite. The man was a middle-level manager in a company, and the woman was a manager at a nearby clothing store. Because they had no children, their living standards were much better than those of ordinary people. The group of people who appeared in their house at this time were obviously not ordinary people.

In the apocalypse, looting and robbery are nothing new, but the base was strictly managed before. Any violation of the base's laws would be punished with a warning at the lightest, and confiscation of all personal property and expulsion from the base at the worst, with the person being permanently deprived of the right to enter the base.

Because of the strict laws of the base, the crime rate in the base has always been very low. However, after the outbreak of the zombie virus this time, perhaps some people speculated that the government cannot currently control the zombie virus, and the current situation in the base reminds people of the difficult period when social civilization and order collapsed in the early days of the apocalypse. Some people with malicious intentions would want to take advantage of this opportunity to satisfy their twisted and dark desires.

The woman's screams were still echoing outside, but no one came to help. Even Engineer Xue could only purse his lips in silence.

He is neither a savior nor a hero, he just wants to protect his own little home. As for other people, he does not have the ability to do so and cannot put himself in danger.
