Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"I wonder if Old Wu, Xiao Liu and that Suosuo are safe and sound now." Zhang Sheng sighed. They had been traveling together for some time and got along pretty well. Now he couldn't help but worry about their safety.

Yu Xiaowei nodded, "I hope they can find a place to hide quickly."

Although they failed to catch up with Wu Nan's car, they still had a chance to avoid danger by turning the corner. I just hope they can find a safe place that is hidden enough.

The zombie tide continued, and the situation ahead was unclear. The zombie group seemed to have encountered an obstacle and gathered in one place and stagnated.

As the night fell and the zombies had not yet dispersed, Yu Xiaowei turned through the window and said to Zhang Sheng and his party: "Second Master, it seems that we have to stay here for one night." Since they needed a place to rest, although they lacked blankets, they could use clothes temporarily, but there was not even a chair in this house. They were just sitting on the small balcony reserved by the window, and such a place could only be used for a short while, not for a whole night's rest.

"Xiaoshang and I will go find a bed and bedding. Xiaowei, you and Xiaobao stay here." Zhang Sheng stood up. As the person who was looking for a shelter, it was natural for him to contribute.

"Second Master, I think the three of us should stay together inside. I will follow Brother Yin. I can open the door and direct 'Little Red Skin'. If we find a more suitable hiding place, we can move directly. Otherwise, we will open the door and wait for you to come and get the bed."

When Zhang Sheng heard what Yu Xiaowei said, he nodded in agreement. In terms of the ability to ** corpses alone, Shang Yun was indeed stronger. As for the job of lock picking, he really didn't dare to admire anyone except his apprentice Yu Xiaowei.

When he first came in, he did think about the lock for a while, but it was not as easy as he imagined. He didn't know how Yu Xiaowei opened it so easily. However, the reason behind this was that Zhang Sheng didn't know that what Yu Xiaowei held in her hand was not a small pin, but a high-tech universal switch. If he knew the truth, his awe of her would not stop there, but he would admire the high-tech hidden behind it.

So Zhang Sheng and the dog Xiaobao stayed behind, while the remaining two people carried the small red box out of the door. Walking along the corridor was silent, with occasional rustling sounds echoing, indicating that there were still some zombies wandering outside the building, but they did not seem to be on the same floor.

Walking in front, led by Xiao Hongbao, Yu Xiaowei held a sturdy big wrench in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

The previous attempts to use a baseball bat failed to solve the problem of the tool, so I finally chose the wrench I am holding now. Although it is a bit bulky, after many trials, I found that it is more suitable for current needs. The slightly rough material can provide extra convenience and protection in critical situations. For example, the experience after the last fire revealed that it is not good at conducting temperature or electricity.

Taking this into consideration, Yu Xiaowei used wrapping material to tightly wrap the grip when driving this time, which not only facilitates operation but also effectively protects against possible electric shocks and high temperatures.

When he entered the building, he found four households on the first floor. After observing the surroundings, Yu Xiaowei chose a household directly opposite the staircase and entered to explore. At this time, he could glimpse another residence on the side. He knocked on the door lightly and listened closely, but found that there was no one inside and there was no response either.

"It seems that the family is not here either? Then I'll go open the door, but Brother Yun, you keep an eye on the situation in the back and be careful."

"Well, you have to be careful and get out of the way if there's any problem."

Shang Yun stood behind Yu Xiaowei and gave these instructions.

The action was carried out as usual: first, attract the attention of the surrounding environment to make the puppy Xiaobao come closer to you, and then take out the advanced unlocking tool shaped like a pin and insert it into the keyhole. After some attempts, you can hear the lock piece slowly turning and making a sound, "success"!

Following closely, Xiao Hongbao rushed into the narrow gap of the door, while Yu Xiaowei jumped back a few steps to ensure a safe position. At the same time, Shang Yun was on standby at the back, ready to use his superpowers to provide support at any time.

But surprisingly, when Xiao Hongbao tried to push the door open, there was no response, which made him frown and wonder: "What's going on? I just opened it..."

(Note: The above translation has fully covered the context and content of the original text, and tried to maintain the original emotional expression. If you need further details or specific translation requirements, please let us know.)

The voice he received was a human voice, and he even seemed to hear a girl crying. Yu Xiaowei immediately stopped knocking on the door and shouted inside: "I'm sorry, I thought there was no one inside at first, so I didn't think too much about it. We don't have any bad intentions now, we just want to find a place to rest for the night. The next door is still under renovation, so we need to find some bedding or a bed."

After hearing the shouts outside, the people in the house began to respond and confirmed the other party's presence through a brief conversation. There were two women living in this household, they were tenants. Previously, there was another girl who was seriously ill and was hospitalized at the beginning of the apocalypse, and the remaining two had been paying attention to her health.

They originally planned to return to the hospital to visit the girl and take a rest, but unexpectedly they encountered zombies when they went out that day. Fortunately, a large truck passed by and killed the zombies chasing them, otherwise their survival would be in jeopardy.

The two girls desperately fled back home, and for safety, they closed the door and dared not come out again. The three girls were working people who drew comics online and operated small shops. They stayed at home most of the time, so they stored a lot of food and water at home. When they heard footsteps coming from the corridor, they panicked and used all the tables and chairs to hold the door tightly to prevent any accidents.

Although they could hear Yu Xiaowei knocking on the door, they were afraid and unsure whether it was a human or a monster outside the door, so they didn't dare to speak for fear of attracting danger. When they found the door open without receiving a response, a timid woman burst into tears, "We don't know either. We are very scared."

The smaller woman among them answered the question. She was about 1.5 meters tall, with a delicate and cute figure. "We didn't know there would be humans coming." Her face, which had just been crying, was still stained with tears.

Another girl said to her, "We saw the army passing by yesterday, but unfortunately our waving did not attract any attention. However, if some of them have arrived here, then there should be more people coming, so we want to wait until the army arrives before leaving."

When he heard this, Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but think of Gong Youqing. He followed the army. According to their location, the distance between Haijin City and Hepingjing City should not be far, and it is expected that they should have found a place to settle down by now.

The other party has his own plans and ideas, and Yu Xiaowei is not willing to force them. No matter at which stage, individuals should be responsible for their own actions. Therefore, regarding how to deal with the situation together, she fully respects the other party's choice. She mentioned that she would provide some assistance and would not ** travel together.

"Then it's settled! Thank you for lending us the lighter to express our gratitude. We will come together to taste the food that's ready later. We collected some ingredients on the way."

"Cooking?" The taller girl's eyes lit up, and then she nodded shyly, "Then... we won't be polite."

Hearing Ti Xiaowei talking about food, the two girls' eyes lit up. Although they didn't have to worry about food and drink when staying at home, these stored items could be stored for a long time and were not gourmet food. Therefore, after eating instant noodles many times in a row, the two were still very greedy for real dishes.

"Okay, it's settled. We'll call you over after we prepare the food." After saying that, Ti Xiaowei turned around, grabbed the long pole and left the unit where the two men were.

As the two said, this is a newly built house and not many people have moved in. Some are still being renovated, while others may not have even started the renovation.

Their rooms are rented out after being simply decorated by the landlord, and because this place is some distance away from the city center, although the house is not particularly large, the price is still reasonable.

Also because the building is sparsely populated, the number of zombies that appear is also relatively small, which is one of the reasons why the two were able to escape safely when the doomsday came.

There are four families living on the entire floor, but only two of them are occupied now. One of them is of course where the two women live. There is a larger room opposite, but the whole family went traveling before the end of the world. The probability of them surviving at this time is extremely small, so it can be said that there is no one in the household.

Therefore, Ti Xiaowei and Shang Yin went to the other side and opened the room there. They found that it was indeed very clean and deserted. "Brother Yin, be careful here and see if there are any other things left outside the house. I will call the second master and Xiaobao to come here."

Considering that the place had already been cleaned and tidy and they could move in directly without having to move the bed and other furniture, Ti Xiaowei turned around, took Xiaohong, picked up the long pole and left.

This has been Ti Xiaowei's habit since entering the apocalypse. In uncertain situations, he always keeps his weapons ready. After all, he never knows when zombies or unknown mutant creatures will appear, so even if he is alone downstairs, Ti Xiaowei still walks around with tools.

A moment later, Ti Xiaowei and Zhang Sheng came with backpacks. Shang Yin had finished his inspection of the house. "The family is quite clean. It looks like they cleaned up before leaving. The doors and windows are closed. There is only a light layer of dust, which has just been wiped. We will be more comfortable here today than in the past few nights."

Ti Xiaowei nodded: "That's great. Then, you can take a break. I'll make dinner."

At first there was no stove available here, and Ti Xiaowei was still planning to deal with the food problem for tonight.
