Doomsday city

Everyone went around the stairs to the storage room, where Madeline collapsed.

She was wearing a simple maternity dress, a lot of blood dripped from between her legs and dyed the skirt red, and she lay on the ground with a pale face.Trish covered her mouth in fright, and Bella rushed forward to check her vital signs, "She's not dead, but very weak! Quick! Help her up! Bring water and a towel! God, she's covered in blood As ice as falling into a snow pit!"

Esther took out the towel from her backpack and covered Madeline, while Kane handed over the bottled water.

"What's going on? She...she..." Tracy knelt beside Madeline with red eyes.

Bella cautiously touched her belly, feeling her body convulsing, "She's in a bad situation! Very bad!"

"What should we help?" Tracy twisted her thighs to calm herself down, and tied the flashlight to the iron frame to free her hands.

"Help her first, I have to look at the wound." Bella asked Trish to take Madeline, and turned around to her legs to lift off her red skirt, "Wake her up! If you don't give birth to the baby now Both of them will die!" Whether it was a premature birth or a sudden delivery due to external force, Madeline's life is now very critical.

Tracy lowered her head and kept patting Madeline's cheeks, and finally woke up when Kane poured water on her face, and her face twisted and struggled in pain, "Oh no...ah! My child... child... No..." Madeline hugged her abdomen weakly, moaning weakly with tears all over her face.

"You have to give birth! Madeline! You have to rely on yourself! You can do it!" Bella said anxiously, pushing her round belly with her hands from time to time, "I know you are in pain, but you have to help Help us, take a deep breath first and then push harder, do you feel it? Come on! Once again! Madeline!"

"You can do it! Madeline! You can do it!" Tracy took her swaying hands and encouraged her in a low voice.Madeline twisted her back excitedly, and more blood gushed out between her legs, "Don't give up! Think about your child! Madeline! Think about him! Be it a boy or a girl! You will meet soon Alright! Haven't you decided on a name for him yet? You can do it, Madeline!"

"Save..." Suddenly Madeline raised her head and grabbed Tracy's arm, crying with red eyes and trembling, "Save him...please save him! My child──"

"Madeline!" Bella held down her limp legs, and Madeline suddenly yelled in pain and lost consciousness, "No, if this continues, both of us will die," she anxiously pulled off her backpack and put all the medical The utensils were spread out on the towel, "The laparotomy must be performed immediately! The pregnant woman has no strength to give birth naturally!"

"Wait!" Tracy watched in horror as Bella took out the scalpel and quickly blocked Madeline's stomach, "What about Madeline? She...she..." Everyone present heard Madeline's wishes , she said please save her child, but Tracy couldn't accept it at the critical moment.

"Kane." Bella called solemnly.

Hearing this, the young man strode stiffly and pulled Trish up, and the two stumbled out of the storage room.

"Whether you're afraid of blood or not, you can't pass out, now, come and help me," Bella turned her back to Esses, she placed the medical equipment beside her in pain, and cut open Madeline's clothes neatly, " You will definitely panic, but don't be too sad, we are saving her life at this time, not killing her."

Esther bit her lower lip and knelt next to Madeline and Bella. She could feel Madeline's rapidly dissipating vitality, so obvious and sad, just like when Old John was about to die, she could smell a trace of desolation.Perhaps Old John wanted to die with dignity, and Madeline for the sake of her unborn child, but the parting was still poignant.

"Let's get started." Bella murmured, and slowly closed the door of the storage room.

Tracy and Kane were fidgeting outside the door, especially Tracy, who blamed herself and felt guilty. She struggled to resist the urge to knock on the door, but her reason told her that if Bella didn't have an emergency caesarean section, Madeline would lose her life. meaning of sacrifice.She squatted down slowly with her back against the wall, and couldn't help covering her face and sobbing.

Only Kane noticed something unusual outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He quietly moved towards the living room, a shadow was shaking outside the transparent glass that was blurred by the rain.Kane couldn't see clearly, the surroundings were too dark, and it was difficult to tell if it was tree shadow or something without the illumination of lights and moonlight.

Until a faint 'click' sounded the alarm in Kane's heart.

"Kane?" Tracy noticed the abnormality of the young man. She stepped forward step by step. When she touched Kane's shoulder, the man suddenly turned and grabbed her arm. "What's wrong with you? There's..."

"Monster," Kane said in a low voice. Seeing Tracy's blank face, he repeated: "The monster is here."

Now Tracy understood what Kane meant, and at the same time a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the flashing white light illuminated the scene in the courtyard at a glance.Five, maybe six zombies were quietly wandering outside the house. They were probably attracted by the strong bloody smell, or they had stayed here for a long time.

"Damn it, they must have gotten in through the gap in the fence!" Kane said angrily.

Tracy wiped away her tears and stared out of the window calmly, "As long as you don't go out, it's fine, and they will leave soon. They will leave as soon as they know there is no food." She covered her forehead and murmured, "Maybe tomorrow morning Gavin's going to come to us, he's sure to find a monster breaking in, he's going to fix it, he's going to."

"Of course, Gavin always..." Before Kane finished speaking, a crisp sound came from the kitchen, and the two of them could not figure out what to do before they heard the sound of footsteps, faintly accompanied by damp water.

Tracy and Kane exchanged glances in astonishment, and suddenly a chill hit their backs.Kane gestured to Tracy a few times, signaling her to stay quietly for the time being, while he carefully moved towards the kitchen holding the umbrella. He stood by the door with light steps, and a zombie came from the back door like a thief. No Kane or other 'food' found, wandering sluggishly by the cupboard.

Kane was surprised that the zombies knew how to open the door, and what made him sweat even more were the other zombies who hesitated outside the door.

He repeatedly clenched the umbrella, took a deep breath and then swooped forward, hitting the zombie head-on with his hand.However, umbrellas are not as lethal as bullets. After being hit on the head, the zombie fell to the table, its brittle bones snapped in two, its upper body writhed violently like a fish out of water, and its lower body limply hung under the table.

"Gah! ──" it screamed from its throat, and the zombies wandering outside the door suddenly turned around and wanted to squeeze into the house.

"Tracey!" Kane quickly closed the back door, and the roars and impacts of the zombies kept coming from behind him, "Take Esses and Bella upstairs! Those monsters will open the door! They will open the door!" He shouted excitedly, He grabbed the fruit knife and pierced the zombie's head on the table before he stopped screaming.

Tracy nodded tremblingly. Just as she took the first step, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room were smashed through by a group of zombies, as if a small truck crashed into the living room, overturning the sofa and TV cabinet.Kane looked at the zombies pouring in in astonishment, his head was blank. He might have learned how to use a shotgun to blow off the zombies' heads, but it was the first time for so many zombies to get close to him for close-range defense.

Crazed zombies are no different from drug addicts. They hit the walls and furniture like wild beasts, and when their keen sense of smell smells fresh meat, they all rush towards Tracy and Kane.Tracy broke down and screamed, letting Kane pull her arm and push her towards the stairwell, yelling constantly to tell her to hide upstairs and lock the door behind her.

"Quick! Tracy! Tracy!" Kane repelled one zombie, and the other immediately filled it.

"Wait! Bella and Esses! We have to save Bella and Esses! And Madeline!" Trish yelled while crying, turned around and hurried to the first floor, but was hit by the overturned zombies , she pushed away the heavy corpse, leaned against the wall and approached Kane in embarrassment, "We saved them! Storage room! They're still in the storage room!"

"There's no time!" Kane pushed Tracy vigorously, forcing her to go to the second floor, "We'll figure it out later! We have to protect ourselves first! Tracy! There are too many monsters! Hurry up! Go upstairs! Tracy West!" While kicking the chasing monster backwards, he pulled Tracy's arm upwards.

Of course Esther heard the shouts of Kane and Tracy, as well as the roar of the zombies that kept hitting outside the door.

With two cold tears on her face, she took the bloody towel wrapped in Bella's hand tremblingly. In front of her was a body that had lost temperature, and her nose was filled with the suffocating smell of blood. She lowered her head stiffly, Inside the towel was a little life that was about to lose its breath and heartbeat.

Bella wrinkled her face, and covered Madeline's pale face with a towel, "Take that child and go."

Esses sat quietly on the spot. She knew that Bella couldn't leave alive, and she wasn't sure if she could escape safely, trying to fight a way out with a newborn baby in the dark night full of zombies?She wasn't stupid enough to believe that a hero would save her, let alone a goddamn miracle.

"Go, let me be quiet, old man," Bella leaned tiredly on the iron frame, she handed the flashlight to Esthers, and patted her arm comfortingly, "Listen, this is not any Man's fault, the way everything works, we'd all be dead even without those man-eating monsters."

Esther pursed her lips and didn't look at Bella.

"Take him and go," Bella pushed Esses's shoulder, and said softly, "Go quickly."

The door of the storage room was opened, and hordes of zombies were attracted by strong blood. They swarmed in. Bella protected Esses and the baby, pushed them out and then closed the storage door full of zombies. Esses remained calm. Breathing, the sound of zombies tearing flesh and Bella's mournful wail can still be heard.
